Don’t buy this tablet before firmware update. Screen font is blurry due to wrong antialishing setting and red color is unrealistically strong. Visit Chuwi forum.
Does it have a GPS?
Hmmm, I’m getting a bit Lenovo XiaoXin Pad Pro vibes with this one, but with the Apple iPad Pro keyboard stand in the mix. Not that that I dislike it, but still….. Wanted to share it.
