Large-screen tablet arrives with 14,700mAh battery, six-speaker system and 1TB microSD support

Cubot has introduced the MegaPad, a new Android tablet aimed at users who want a large screen for watching videos and listening to music. It combines a 13.36-inch display with a six-speaker system and a built-in rhythm light.

The display has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. Cubot has not specified the panel type. The tablet measures 309.3 x 208 mm (12.18 x 8.19 inches), with a thickness of 8.1 mm (0.32 inches) at its thinnest point and 14.1 mm (0.56 inches) around the speaker section. It weighs 846 g (1.86 lbs) and comes in gray.

The six speakers consist of four tweeters and two woofers, with DTS audio support. There is also a light strip along the front edge that reacts to music. Cubot has not shared the speakers' power output or explained whether users can change the lighting effects.

The Lenovo Tab Plus, which we reviewed earlier, is another tablet with a strong focus on audio. It has eight JBL speakers with a combined output of 26W. Cubot has not provided a comparable figure for the MegaPad, so its actual audio performance remains to be seen.

Cubot lists the MediaTek Helio G81 processor, with two Cortex-A75 cores running at up to 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.7GHz. However, the MT6769V/CB model number is also associated with the Helio G70, which has the same CPU configuration.

The tablet has 6GB of RAM, with an additional 10GB available through virtual memory expansion. Storage comes to 128GB, and users can add a microSD card of up to 1TB. The hybrid SIM slot accommodates either two nano-SIM cards or one nano-SIM card and a microSD card. The MegaPad runs Android 16.

Its 14,700mAh battery is larger than those in several tablets we have covered, including the OnePlus Pad 3, which we reviewed, and the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2, which have 12,140mAh and 12,700mAh batteries, respectively. However, Cubot has not disclosed the charging speed. The tablet also has a 16MP rear camera with phase-detection autofocus and an LED flash, along with an 8MP front camera.

For wireless connections, the MegaPad supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. It also has GPS, Glonass, Galileo and BeiDou, along with USB OTG. Face Unlock is available, but Cubot does not list a fingerprint reader or NFC. The company has not provided information about Widevine certification either. In the box, it includes a protective case, charger, USB cable, user manual and SIM eject tool.

Cubot has not shared the MegaPad's price or release date. It appears on the company's official website, but the product page does not currently offer a purchase option.
