PiPO shows off new U8T, a 7.85-inch Windows 10 Mobile tablet with Rockchip processor
Taiwanese tech company PiPO may not be familiar to everyone, but it's no stranger to Windows, having launched a range of low-cost devices, including the W4 tablet, the X7 mini-PC, and the X9 'Windows TV box and desktop tablet' - a rather unusual device VCP5-DCVĀ that we reviewed just a few months ago.
The company has 1Y0-400Ā now made a new addition to its range, its first running Windows 10 Mobile. The PiPO U8T is a mini-tablet featuring a 7.85-inch display with 1024x768px resolution, 1GB of RAMand 16GB of storage. Curiously, the device shares its name 000-571Ā with an Android tablet released some time ago, featuring slightly different specs, including an older processor.
Notably, the new U8T doesn't feature any of theQualcomm Snapdragon processors that you might expect on a Windows 10 Mobile device, and it doesn't have an Intel chip either. 050-720Ā Instead, PiPO has opted for a Rockchip RK3288W SoC, which uses a quad-core 32-bit ARM Cortex-A17 processor.
However, despite running the 'Mobile' version of Windows 10, the new tablet doesn't include cellular connectivity, 070-685Ā but a spokesperson for the company hinted to Notebook Italia that this option could potentially be offered in the future.
While PiPO sells devices under its own brand, it's also a 'white-label' manufacturer - known also as an ODM (original design manufacturer) - that builds and customizes its 074-338Ā devices for other companies to sell as their own. A version of the device - featuring 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a higher-resolution 'Retina-like' Ā VCP5-DCV display - is reportedly being tested ahead of its release under the Best Buy brand in the US.
