In January 2016, a pre-order for Chuwi Hi12 tablet. The Chinese company Chuwi is not one of the leaders in the mobile device market, but it has already released several inexpensive and high-quality products, including the 8-inch Hi8 Pro and 10-inch Hi10 (with two Windows 10 and Android 5.1 OS).
The Hi12 is a compact, convenient and powerful device that can compete in performance with many laptops.
According to the results of 2016, the device was included in the rating of Chinese tablets, a list of the best you can find here.
Leaving “for sweet” the impressive specs of the new items from Chuwi, the Hi12 review will begin with its appearance.
Design
The novelty is offered either in dark gray (basic version) or in a golden metal case.
Many users say that the developers from Chuwi borrowed the tablet design from the iPad Pro, but the two devices have differences. Yes, the rounded edges on the back of the metal part look recognizable and the case thickness is the same, but all the other elements of the Chinese tablet are unique. Yes, and in size it is smaller than the "apple" device.
On the front panel you will see the Windows logo, 2 MP camera and a set of sensors. On the back is the Chuwi logo and the main 5 MP camera. On the side faces are full-sized USB connectors for connecting a keyboard, mouse, etc.
