Taipower T40 Pro is an Android tablet with a price of 1,000 yuan (1199) launched by the domestic brand "Taipower TECLAST", and the product positioning in the Android tablets currently on the shelves of Taipower belongs to the "flagship". However, because the Taipower T40 Pro supports 4G full Netcom dual card dual standby, and can receive calls, I personally prefer to call the Taipower T40 Pro a "large-screen mobile phone".
Then, the protagonist of this review article is this thousand-dollar flagship tablet: Taipower T40 Pro, if you plan to start an Android tablet that supports 4G full Netcom and has good performance within a thousand yuan in the near future, then don't miss this article.
10.4-inch high-definition large screen, zirconium sand metal body design rarely seen in the thousand-yuan tablet
After opening the package, in addition to seeing a T40 Pro, the rest is a "three-piece set", that is, a charger, data cable and instruction manual.
As a tablet, the design of the screen can be described as particularly important, after all, most people enter the tablet is either used to chase the game, or to read comics, if the screen design is not good, then the display effect presented is naturally not good, so that for the user, may not pay for it.
The Taipower T40 Pro adopts a 10.4-inch full-fit screen design, the resolution reaches 2000 * 1200, and also applies T-Colour 2.0 color optimization technology, which can make the screen color of taipower T40 Pro better and the details display richer.
Through this real picture, we can see that the screen of the Taipower T40 Pro adopts a rounded corner design. In addition, the front of the T40 Pro screen of the Taipower T40 Pro is also equipped with an 800W pixel front camera.
The screen display effect of the Taipower T40 Pro is real shot.
Like most Android tablets, the T40 Pro also supports some screen display functions, such as: eye protection mode, dark theme, reading mode and so on.
After the reading mode is turned on, the screen as a whole will be displayed in "black and white", just like an electric paper book. However, I personally think that this reading mode should not be used when you go to see e-books, because some reading APPS, articles or comics in comic APP are themselves black and white, and then turning on this reading mode is a bit redundant, it should be used when you browse some news APP and other app with more text content, so as to achieve an almost e-paper book-like reading experience.
The picture above shows the effect after opening the dark theme, and part of the interface of the system will become dark, which is more suitable for opening at night.
Taipower T40 Pro to see the comic effect of the real shot, 10.4-inch large screen plus 2000 * 1200 HD resolution, when watching comics with a word to describe is "cool".
Perhaps because of cost constraints, some thousand-dollar tablets either use metal back covers and plastic frames in terms of body design, or are all plastic. The Taipower T40 Pro can be said to have set up a benchmark, it adopts an all-metal body design, and also applies zirconium sandblasting process treatment, so that the entire fuselage has a very delicate matte feel, not the kind of rough frosted.
The rear camera design of the Taipower T40 Pro is also quite interesting, using a 1300W pixel SONY camera, which is also a rare design in the same type of tablet, at least the highest I came into contact with is 800W pixels.
Taipower T40 Pro is also very careful and hard at the design of the external amplifier, using a four-speaker design, and also applies the Sweet 4th generation sound cavity and intelligent independent amplifier chip, so that the external playback sound quality of the Taipower T40 Pro is not only outstanding, the volume is also large enough.
The volume key, power key and Type-C charging interface of the T40 Pro are all designed on the same side. In addition, the Taipower T40 Pro does not have a 3.5mm audio interface design, if you want to connect headphones to use, the actual test support for Type-C interface headphones.
The battery capacity of the Taipower T40 Pro is 7000mAh, which is also a large-capacity design in the same type of tablet. In terms of charging, the T40 Pro supports 18W fast charging, and the personal test starts from 0% to charge, and it can be fully charged in about 2 hours.
Equipped with a domestic octa-core processor, the running score exceeds 240,000, and the performance is not bad
There is a saying that the design of Taipower T40 Pro in terms of system is slightly insufficient, however, this is not to say that the system experience of Taipower T40 Pro is poor, but because it is equipped with an almost native Android 11 system, the entire system is very simple, there is no pre-installed too many APP, but there is not much to play, for example: there is no theme mode, only the wallpaper can be replaced; there is no function similar to parallel horizon, and the use of non-tablet special APP can only be used vertically or split screen.
The Taipower T40 Pro also has no gesture function and can only be touched by virtual keys.
Taipower T40 Pro split-screen function real shooting, which is also a "curve to save the country" way that can currently allow APP that can only be run vertically to run in a horizontal screen manner.
The performance of Taipower T40 Pro is also good, equipped with the octa-core processor of the domestic Unigroup Zhanrui T618, which has obtained a score of 240100 through the performance running score test of AnTutu. As for other parameters, the T40 Pro's graphics processor is the Mali-G52 3EE, which runs 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage.
As for the game experience, some friends may think like this: What game can be played with 240,000 running points? Run King of Duka, right? In fact, it is not, I personally measured in the highest frame rate, ultra-high resolution under the play of the king, basically the frame rate between 58 and 60, team battle did not appear obvious frame drop problem, really do not underestimate this T618 processor.
However, I personally prefer to use the T40 Pro to play some card games, and playing competitive games with a 10.4-inch large screen will feel inconvenient to operate.
Or use the T40 Pro to connect the gamepad, and use the combination of "gamepad plus 10.4-inch large screen" to play some games is also a good use and experience. At the same time, the gamepad in this article is connected to the Taipower T40 Pro by using the transmitter, and I use the type-C adapter connected to the controller transmitter, which also shows that the Type-C interface of the T40 Pro supports OTG function.
Three choice two card slot design, can answer the phone, is a tablet computer is also a "large screen mobile phone"
Supporting 4G full Netcom dual card dual standby, can answer the phone, can be said to be one of the highlights of the T40 Pro of Taipower. When we are in the absence of Wi-Fi network, Taipower T40 Pro can still use the SIM card traffic to access the Internet normally, and in case the mobile phone has no power, you can also use the Taipower T40 Pro temporary "emergency" to make calls, like I am currently on a business trip will carry T40 Pro to chase dramas online on the high-speed rail, and occasionally be a "large-screen mobile phone" when the mobile phone is running out of power.
In terms of card slot design, the Taipower T40 Pro adopts a three-choice card slot design, that is, you can put a TF memory card and a SIM calling card to the card slot; or two SIM phone cards to the card slot.
The system of Taipower T40 Pro also has telephone and SMS functions, which are connected to the power supply and sent messages just like ordinary Android smartphones. However, the T40 Pro does not design a handset, I think this is a shortcoming, when answering the phone, either use the Type-C interface headphones, or use Bluetooth headphones, if you use the built-in microphone, then your call content may be heard by the people around you.
In addition, Taipower T40 Pro also supports Beidou, GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO positioning, plus A-GPS network auxiliary positioning, if you have enough position on the car, then you can also put the Taipower T40 Pro in the car as a large-screen navigator to use.
Taipower T40 Pro: A tablet with a more balanced experience
Through about half a month of use, I think that the T40 Pro is a tablet with a more balanced experience, and in terms of comprehensive price, in addition to the system play is not much, there is basically no obvious shortcoming. Whether you are used to play games, watch movies and chase dramas, watch comics, online lessons, etc., T40 Pro can meet the needs of Taiwan T40 Pro, after all, the 10.4-inch full-fit display, 2000 * 1200 resolution, four speaker design, independent power amplifier chip plus T618 processor is enough to meet the above needs.
Coupled with the fact that Taipower T40 Pro supports dual 4G full Netcom, it can receive calls and further improve the practicality of the tablet, so I think that taipower T40 Pro is not only a "large-screen mobile phone" with 10.4 inches, but also a tablet with a balanced experience.
As said at the beginning of the article, if you want to buy an Android tablet with a budget of about 1,000 yuan, and the tablet also needs to support 4G full Netcom, the performance is not bad, then the Taipower T40 Pro may be a try.
