The affordable 12-inch tablet with surprising extras – Teclast T60 AI review
Input pen and folio cover included.
The 12-inch Teclast T60 AI costs less than $200, while still coming with extensive features including a 90 Hz display, a headphone jack and stereo speakers. It also boasts a number of AI functions and even has 2 USB-C ports, one of which supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 and DisplayPort.Manuel Masiero, 👁 Florian Schmitt (translated by Daisy Dickson) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
Verdict on the Teclast T60 AI
If you're on the hunt for an affordable tablet for surfing and multimedia use, then you may enjoy the Teclast T60 AI, not least because it comes delivered with a folio cover and stylus included. This entry-level tablet has lots of space for content on its 12-inch IPS display and thanks to a desktop mode, multiple apps can be displayed at once. Although its 90 Hz display isn't the brightest, it's still perfectly sufficient for indoor use.
Additional things that speak in favor of the T60 AI include its good features, such as stereo speakers, 128 GB of storage space, a microSD card slot, a 3.5 mm jack and even two USB-C ports, of which one supports fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 and even DisplayPort. The AI functions that give the tablet its name are rather unspectacular apart from AI video upscaling, which delivers surprisingly impressive results.
Disadvantages: The T60 AI doesn't run for particularly long, it takes a while to charge, and it comes with neither GPS, a fingerprint sensor, nor facial recognition using the selfie camera. Adding to this are mediocre cameras and unclear update delivery. Games only run with several limitations and if you place great importance on smooth operation, then you'll be happier with more powerful competitor devices such as the Honor Pad or the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro.

The key data of the Teclast T60 AI reads promisingly. For less than $200, you get a 12-inch tablet in a metal case with a 2K resolution, 90 Hz refresh rate and 128 GB of storage space. It also comes with Android 15 and a range of AI functions that give the tablet its name.
With its Allwinner A733, the T60 AI is powered by the same eight-core SoC as its sister model, the Teclast P50 AI, which performed well in our test. In the following review, we'll find out whether its 12-inch colleague can follow suit and also earn our recommendation.
Specifications
Case - The Teclast T60 AI with a burgundy red metal case
Teclast has packaged its T60 AI inside a metal case, which features a burgundy red color and an octagon-shaped and gold-colored camera bezel on the back.
The case is well made with its rounded corners and edges, but can be dented with little effort and sometimes even just touching it results in a clearly audible creak. Even so, the tablet is sturdy enough for everyday use. Once again, it doesn't have an IP certification.
At 624 grams, the T60 AI weighs slightly more than similarly sized competitors such as the Honor Pad 9 and the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro, but still doesn't feel too heavy and is nice and thin with a height of 8.4 millimetres. Its display bezels, which are around one centimeter wide on all sides, allow the tablet to be held securely in your hand without making erroneous inputs on its IPS display.
Connectivity - 2x USB-C and support for DisplayPort
Teclast has equipped its tablet with 6 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB UFS 3.1 storage. The RAM can be increased to up to 16 GB via virtual memory expansion, but this is of little use because the tablet only creates a swap file in its much slower UFS storage.
On the other hand, the T60 AI has more to offer when it comes to its interfaces, as the tablet features two USB-C ports with OTG support in addition to a headphone jack and a microSD card reader that can accommodate cards up to 1 TB in size. The upper one works at USB 2.0 speed and is primarily used as a charging port.
The lower USB port supports significantly faster data transfers with USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 (nominally 5 GBit/s) and also functions as a DisplayPort output. This allows the Teclast tablet to mirror its screen content on a monitor or portable display, for example, which worked fine during our test.
microSD card reader
Using our Angelbird AV Pro V60 microSD reference card, the tablet's card reader ran at a comfortable pace. The competition was significantly faster in both the cross-platform disk test and the copying test.

Cross Platform Disk Test (CPDT)
Software - Android 15, AI functions and desktop mode
The Teclast T60 AI runs Android 15. The Teclast OS is mostly the same as the standard version of Android, so users won't have to get used to a new UI. Included is PC Mode, a special desktop mode designed for use with a mouse and keyboard.
When using PC Mode, apps are launched in a window and can be moved around on the desktop. This even worked with the games PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact that we installed for our test, which ran in parallel in their own window. However, they could then no longer be controlled properly.
AI features have so far been the big exception for inexpensive tablets. Nevertheless, the T60 AI offers a small selection of them. For example, the 12-inch tablet can improve video image quality, and recognize hand gestures and users' poor posture.
Videos upscaled to the tablet's native resolution actually look a lot better and you can display the original video at the same time to visualize the difference. DRM Widevine L1 is supported, so you can watch copy-protected streams in HD quality.
The T60 AI quickly warns the user of poor posture via a pop-up, and it mostly responded reliably to hand gestures during our test. Still, this always took a while because the selfie camera has to recognize your hand first. For example, you can hold up your hand and then turn your palm to give a back command. On the flip side, the tablet behaved stubbornly when swiping to scroll up or down: it almost always did nothing.
Teclast hasn't provided any information on how long OS upgrades and security updates will be available for the T60 AI and how often they will be provided. Buyers should therefore be prepared for a potentially short support period. At the time of testing, the latest Android security patches were from March 1, so still relatively up-to-date.
Sustainability
Teclast doesn't attach much importance to sustainability, at least outwardly. There is no information on its website about the tablet's carbon footprint or the manufacturer's environmental efforts. The T60 AI is wrapped in a plastic film and the colorful packaging doesn't reveal the ingredients of the inks that have been used.
Communication and GNSS - The Teclast T60 AI without GPS
The T60 AI supports Bluetooth 5.4 and WiFi 6, but features neither GPS nor an NFC module. In addition, Teclast doesn't offer a cellular version of its 12-inch tablet.
The Teclast tablet uses the latest WiFi standard, namely WiFi 6, but in practice, you won't notice much of it, as it can't use the 6 GHz band. When connected to our reference router, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, its transfer rates were only at the level of WiFi 5 and weren't particularly stable.
That being said, you don't usually get much more from the competition in this price range. A commendable exception to this is the now very affordable Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro, which shows how fast WiFi 6 can be using the 5 GHz band.
Cameras - Only suitable for snapshots
The T60 AI's selfie camera, which is integrated in the center of the upper frame, has a resolution of 5 MP and delivers passable image quality that's at least okay in good lighting conditions. Overall, however, it only captures few details and doesn't produce particularly sharp images.
The 13 MP main camera on the back doesn't do much better. It's suitable for occasional snapshots, taking photos of documents or scanning QR codes. However, if you enjoy taking photos on a tablet, you likely won't be happy with the T60 AI.
Photos taken with its main camera are sometimes evenly lit, but often appear too bright, as can be seen in the first example image. Overall, the photos show little dynamic range, hardly any sharpness and feature strong background noise. The camera's brightness adjustment and autofocus only work sluggishly. In addition, the latter produces a visible pumping effect when searching for the focus area. Low-light conditions quickly overwhelm the camera.
The tablet can record videos with a maximum of 1080p at 30 frames per second. Its recording quality is comparable to that of its photos.

In controlled lighting conditions, the device's main camera didn't match the ColorChecker reference colors or grayscale levels very accurately. It didn't capture the test chart sharply even with optimal lighting. At 1 lux of light, it almost disappeared completely in the dark.
Accessories and warranty - The T60 AI with a 12-month warranty
The Teclast T60 AI comes with a 10-watt power adapter (5V/2A), a USB-C cable, a quick start guide and a warranty card. There is also a folio cover and a stylus included. Teclast doesn't offer any special accessories for its tablet.
The Teclast T60 AI is covered by a standard 12-month warranty.
Input devices and operation - The Teclast tablet with a stylus
The T60 AI's 2K screen is scanned up to 180 times per second, almost always processes inputs quickly and reliably, and runs smoothly thanks to its 90 Hz refresh rate. From time to time, however, taps on the touchscreen seem to be too short for it, meaning the inputs aren't registered and nothing happens.
During our test, we often found that the T60 AI only launched an app, for example, after we had repeated the input and pressed the icon a little longer with our finger or the included stylus. The physical buttons, on the other hand, work perfectly. They sit firmly in its case, are easy to feel and have a clear pressure point.
The stylus may cause some confusion because it looks like a ballpoint pen and its pointed end actually does contain a normal ballpoint pen refill, but the blunt end with its soft rubber attachment is used for inputs on the display.
You can safely transport the Teclast tablet with its folio cover, which is also included in its scope of delivery. The three-part cover can be used as a stand that positions the T60 AI at a fixed angle of around 70 degrees.
The tablet doesn't have a fingerprint sensor or facial recognition via the selfie camera, so it offers no biometric authentication option. Access to the T60 AI can only be protected via a PIN, pattern or password.
Display - PWM-free IPS screen at 90 Hz
With a pixel density of 195 PPI, the T60 AI's 2000 x 1200 pixel IPS panel offers sufficiently high image sharpness. However, if you look very closely, you can see pixel structures.
When displaying a white background, the Teclast tablet achieves an average brightness of 327 cd/m², which is good enough for indoor use. With an even distribution of bright and dark image areas (APL18 measurement), its brightness increases to up to 365 cd/m². The tablet doesn't support HDR.
The IPS screen doesn't use PWM, which makes the T60 AI suitable for users who are sensitive to screen flickering.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM not detected |  | ||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Thanks to its low black value of 0.2 cd/m², the IPS display manages a good contrast ratio of 1715:1, but it unfortunately doesn't display colors particularly accurately. The values we measured are well above the ideal range (Delta-E < 3) and its high color temperature of 9376 K shifts the display into the bluish range.

The tablet's viewing angle-stable IPS screen is only suitable for outdoor use to a limited extent. Due to its low brightness, it's sometimes difficult to read from, even in the shade. The display can't adequately compensate for strong light reflections or direct sunlight.
Performance - The Teclast T60 AI with the Allwinner A733
Although the Allwinner A733 doesn't turn the T60 AI into a racehorse, it does still give it solid performance. During everyday use, this is usually reflected in smooth operation and is just as sufficient for social media as it is for surfing the web and watching videos. However, similarly priced competitors such as the Honor Pad 9 and the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro offer significantly better performance.

* ... smaller is better
According to Teclast, UFS 3.1 storage is used inside the T60 AI. Even so, it doesn't work very efficiently in this tablet, only reaching a level of UFS 2.2 in terms of its read and write speeds. Nevertheless, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as many other inexpensive tablets only use significantly slower eMMC flash storage.

Games - Rarely run smoothly
Our tests using Gamebench and a small selection of games revealed that the T60 AI can run graphically simpler games quite smoothly. PUBG Mobile ran at a relatively constant 30 frames per second in the HD setting, although the frame rate did dip.
Genshin Impact, on the other hand, was no fun to play at all. On average, the graphically demanding adventure role-playing game only ran at a jerky 17 frames per second, even at the lowest detail level.

Temperature
The Teclast tablet remains cool during operation and didn't get more than lukewarm even after an hour of maximum load using the Burnout benchmark. The SoC was similarly unimpressed. As the 3DMark stress tests showed, its performance practically doesn't slow down at all under load.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 35.2 °C / 95 F, compared to the average of 33.7 °C / 93 F, ranging from 20.7 to 53.2 °C for the class Tablet.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 34.6 °C / 94 F, compared to the average of 33.2 °C / 92 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 23 °C / 73 F, compared to the device average of 30 °C / 86 F.

Runtimes
Despite its 8000 mAh battery and somewhat weak processor, the T60 AI doesn't achieve particularly good runtimes. With the screen brightness adjusted to 150 cd/m², it managed around 10 hours of continuous video playback and 9:35 hours of simulated web surfing. Some of the competition has much more to offer in this respect. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ and the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro stand out in particular.
