[review]PIPO P1 RK3288 MALI-T764 RETINA IPS SCREEN ANDROID 4.4 2G+32G

INTRODUCTION



In CES2014 held in LasVegas, Rockchip had announced the newest Quad Core chip—RK3288. After a long time waiting, fortunately, I got Pipo P1. Now, I am happy to share user experience with you guys.



These accessories are included in the package: a tablet, a power adapter, a Micro-HDMI cable, a Micro-USB cable, an earphone.







HARDWARE



First, let’s have a good look at the specs:



Dimensions: 243*187.2*11.2mm

Weight: 649g

Screen size: 9.7 inch

Screen resolution: 2048*1536 (Retina IPS )

Battery：10000mAh

Internal storage：32GB eMMC NAND

External storage：32GB（max）

Camera: Front 2M, back 8M auto focus, flashlight

CPU: Rockchip 3288 Cortex A17,1.6GHz, Quad-core CPU

GPU: ARM Mali-T764

RAM: 2GB LPDDR3

Operating system: Android 4.4.2

Others: 4K and H.265HEVC, Built-in GPS receiver, G-sensor, Gyro sensor, E-compass, mini HDMI output,

Well, it does come with solid hardware. I will test them later.



At first glance, the tablet is not attractive—all black hood, wide bezels, all- glass front with metal wiredrawing’s rear cover.









The top of the tablet is very busy: headphone jack, MIC, Charging interface, Micro-USB port, mini HDMI port, TF card port and power button are residing on the top. Volume rocker and ESC button (a little surprise) are just on the left.







The front camera sits in the top left camera, while the rear camera (with a flashlight) is in the top right corner. And the speaker resides in the top right corner in the front.









In my daily use, the ESC button gives me a surprise—a convenient button when exiting apps. But I feel tired when I hold the device in one-hand for long time, and the 649g weight is not satisfied.



RK3288&MALI-T764



RK3288 and Mali-T764 are the selling points of P1. RK3288 adopt 28 NANO technology, used the Quad Core Cortex A17 and Mali T764, the CPU frequency reaches 1.8 GHz.



One of the biggest advantages of RK3288 from architecture is that the A17 use the same out-of-orderexecution with double instruction decofer, double AGU and multi issue as the A15 does, but the A17 has a great promotion in instruction execution. To keep the same power dissipation, the performance of single thread for A17 improved 40% than those of A9.
