Top 10: The best small tablet up to 9 inches in test

The Alldocube IPlay 50 mini surprisingly assures as an inexpensive 8 -inch tablet in the test. Cheap device does not go away without any cuts – the test shows what is the disadvantage.

It is always exciting to be able to test different versions of a device and to see what changes have occurred from the manufacturers. Many people take curious decisions – most recently we saw it in Apple. There, the owners of the new iPads who want to use an apple pencil are forced to buy the old first generation and charge through a strange adapter.

Today Alldocube IPlay 50 Mini is ahead of us. This is the younger brother we have already tested by us Alldocube iplay 50 (test report)Which was particularly able to score with adequate performance, strong performance and relatively high -quality design. The mini tablet was able to achieve some of some of these benefits: design, which is rare in this price range, can also be found in Alldocube IPlay 50 mini, as well as performance in performance. But everything is not right with this tool – some shortcomings appear in the test.

The tablet congratulated us after unpacking from our inconsistent, small, white box. In addition to the device, the scope of delivery itself is a USB an power supply, with an average of 10 watt charging power, a needle to open a cable for USB-C on USB-C, SIM card boxes and operating instructions.

The back of the device directly testifies to high -quality design and solid processing – it contains gray, matte aluminum, which is replaced by the top and below plastic elements only to ensure an antenna function. The Alldocube logo on the back and unusually long model number is complemented by a QC sticker, which is unnecessary, but can be relatively removed without leaving. The rear camera has a sensor that is placed in a small force on the top left.

Alldocube IPlay 50 minis is 8.4 -inch display, thanks to round corners and fits perfectly in the overall high -quality appearance of the tablet to thin display edges. If you keep the device straight so that the front camera is located at the top, then the volume and power button, which are also made of aluminum, are the top right. This placement, in combination with the small size of the device, ensures that the left hand fingers can easily press the keys on the left hand if a horizontal alignment. If the button was placed two to three centimeters below, Alldocube could stop it.

The USB-C charging port is located at the top (ie where there is a front camera) and hence it is placed unusually. The mono speaker is on the left side and – it is even more annoying – it is covered with the right hand when the tablet is kept horizontally. One of some poor design decisions from Alldocube.

The device weighs about 292 grams, it is a lighter and is placed with one hand with its dimensions of 202.7 × 126.5 millimeters and served with another. Incidentally, it is easy to tap on the screen keyboard. In addition to all, in addition to small exceptions, it is a well and processed device.

The 8.4 -inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels is used in the Oldocube iPlay 50 mini. This occurs as a result of the pixel density of about 270 pixels per inch (PPI), exceptionally high full HD resolution for the price, which must definitely be highlighted positively. Performance color performance is appropriate – there is nothing here, but the colors are not extremely strong. The shadow is only a little available on the display edges you know from other IPS panels.

We only have to complain about the brightness on the performance of Alldocube IPlay 50 mini – this is about 350 CD/m and and therefore suitable for interiors. However, if you use tablets in direct sunlight, performance can hardly be read. For the price of about 100 euros, the complaint is at a high level. A glow sensor is not installed.

A large advantage of the performance of Alldocube IPlay 50 mini is support for widewin level 1. Streaming provider How to see Netflix and Disney+ in HD quality. The devices that do not support the widewin level 1 can only stream the material in SD quality, ie with 480p. This functionality is not given for more expensive, large models. In this case, however, it clearly speaks to the device. Overall, it is a great performance – only brightness can be more.

A total of two cameras are installed in the Alldocube IPlay 50 mini – a front camera on the front and the main camera at the back. The main camera dissolves with a slightly impressive 5 megapixel. It does not ensure exactly or otherwise ensure ensures especially useful recording, the colors are not very accurate.

Video recording is possible at 30 frames per second with full HD with the main camera. In the absence of image stabilization, video is not very useful for video. The front camera also dissolves with 5 megapixels and enables video recording of 30 frames per second in 720p. So the video telephony is there, but nothing more than this.

Alldocube IPlay 50 Mini’s heart and brain is Unisoc T606, which is an eight-core arm chip from 2019. It is a processor of lower middle class, but it is usually high in devices that cost more than 100 euros. Overall, the processor is quite sharp and competes well with all everyday tasks and operating systems. In regular use, stipulators or small brakes were surprisingly rare, simple work (Word and Excel) was easily possible with the device.

The device is difficult for more complex workload, but it is not done. What you should know: The chip goes on enough to perform all the tasks that are done with such tablets in general, and it is also easy for low demanding games. This is above average to the price range where Alldocube IPlay 50 mini moves.

Unisoc T606 is with four gigabytes. It is suitable for price, but not extraordinary. The manufacturer advertises that RAM can be complemented with about 4 GB. These built -in internal UFS 2.1 are “blocked” from memory and are used to manage background functions. At first glance, it may look progressive and intelligent, but it is not really. Ultimately, this feature is more than an advertising slogan than a really intelligent thing, because internal memory is much slower than ram and the effect is therefore slightly.

If we are already in internal memory: it is 64 GB and is expandable with the memory card. Other technologies supporting this tablet include SIM cards for Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.0 and LTE (4G). Unfortunately, the USB-C connection is only a USB 2.0 port, which means that the bandwidth is severely limited. However, it is not uncommon for this price range. The manufactured monolar speaker is fine, but nothing special. Voice quality is suitable for phone calls.

For our surprise, when installing Alldocube IPlay 50 Mini, we found that the software installed on the tablet is not the same at all, which we had to criticize with the elder brother. Android 13 is already running. The operating system of mini tablets is less like a pure Android operating system than the elder brother. The icon on the start screen is replaced by colorful options and the Setting app also found a redesign. Visually, it reminds using Xiaomi user interface MIUI.

Interesting: The quick settings menu has not been changed. Overall, the operating system itself is not a loss of the device, as it is largely free from bug and does not cause any problems in use. We were again amazed by the lack of lack of search for a software update by hand. A few days after the commissioning, the operating system was expected to update.

The latest security patch is from May 2023 and is therefore adequately updated. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say how the update situation will happen in the future. Fixed promises about safety updates do not create an aldocube, support for more than two years – if at all – is not expected.

Alldocube with a final small disappointment on IPlay 50 mini with battery. It has an average capacity of only 4000 millimeters. Many modern smartphones (which come up with very small, ie power -scrutiny displays can be a major significant figure here.

This battery is reflected in life: it was between three to three and a half hours with average use. It is very small and is a matter of shame. While playing two -hour YouTube video on 60 percent shine, 48 percent of the battery capacity is our cost. Overall, the battery life is not good and perhaps the biggest disadvantage of the tablet. Charging is also slow with 10 watts and takes more than two hours.

Alldocube iplay is 50 mini goals 106 Euro Chinese online retailer is a reasonable price available from Banged. Shipping is from the Czech Republic. The only available storage variant has 4/64 GB, as the color is only gray.

Among all, Alldocube IPlay 50 Mini is one of the cheapest tablets we have so far hikes at the desk. A great, although dark performance, solid performance, good equipment and a high quality design ensure that you rarely find a mini tablet on the market with a comprehensive price-demonstration ratio. This is definitely one of the best Android tablets up to 9 inches from our tests.

Only cool battery is a fork in the life side. The comprehensible objectives are diverse as a second tablet, as an entertainment machine or e-book reader, you do not do much wrong with Alldocube IPlay 50 mini.
