Mills, 24 May 2023Good chipsets use A78 and A55, yet no one is complaining ab... moreMid range/lower end chipsets now use them which even the SD 888 in my find x5 is basically mid range in cpu performance now. Tensor SoCs use them and are *REAL WORLD* way off the mark in performance, about on par with the 888 in real life (the pixel 6 pro which i owned, had to run its x1 core constantly to get its performance "up to" a SD 888 which in real world, never got past a SD865, purely because the a76 cores didnt cut it).
A78 wont be as efficent as say the a-710 which can clock lower to achieve the same performance. With armv9 the workloads should be way more efficient too and better for a.i workloads which, lets be honest, is what a phone mostly is now.

Hemedans, 24 May 2023Why is A78/A55 old core? This site sometime amaze me, can y... moreA78 is from 2020 and the a55 is from 2017 so are getting old. I'd have a SD870 over it even with slightly older a77 cores but higher clocks, better gpu etc (xiaomi pad 6 with far better feature set for €260 as an example). SD 690/695 will equal the fire max in cpu performance atleast, good few tablets at €200-260 with those in.
Could throw a dimensity 1050/1080 in it at this point with higher clocked a78 cores if you wanted other cheaper SoCs to stick in it. A big problem is the 4gb of ram now, shpuld be 6gb minimum for a smooth experience. Just a really bad feature set product that needs a huge price cut to actually make it competitive (unless someone just wants an amazon product to fot in to the eco system or something).

This doesn't have a headphone jack :)
Giving my 100% insight on this tablet, this keyboard just looks like a iPad 10 clone. The chipset has no brand name however cheaper models use Helio P-series while this uses some sort of codename. There is 4GB of RAM which may help run some powerful tasks but I heavily doubt this will run games like Genshin or Fortnite (High Graphics) via TapTap or APKs.
Another thing I'd account before buying is the stylus and keyboard is worth it. If you draw, sure but if you need a laptop but this comes close than sure. The only drawback I can see is pulling up somewhere and whipping out a Fire Tablet, not expecting to be ridiculed.
Lastly the price. Asking 229 (less than 100 from iPad 9) is not bad. It's what the Tab A8 10.5 is asking for a 32GB model. Fire Max 11 comes with 64/128 and add up to 1TB via SD. Overall, I'd think this would be faster than the A8 (2022). The T618 in the A8 does beat the P60 from HD 10/10+ so we'd have to see which comes out on top.
Is this tablet worth pre ordering? Maybe. Is it good. Without lockscreen ads. Is it worth 229? Better than A8 (2022), so yea.

Just like youtube is making it worse and worse for free users with increasing the amount of ads and withholding basic features like offscreen/background play while selling all this under youtube premium influencing more and more people to buy the subscription.
Also the decoy effect, It is a strategy used by businesses to influence consumer choices by introducing a less attractive product, known as the decoy, in order to make another product appear more appealing in comparison. And I bet people will be buying the more expensive tablet just for a bit more. More profit to Amazon for selling the same junk for a bit more.

I'm more worried about no info of battery and SoC, except it's name and the amount of cores. Those cores can mean anything - 10yo A73/A53 cores, or newer...
