Came in exactly one month.
Tablet in a box. The box is carefully packed in a yellow bag with inner bumps. We open the package:
Here it is, the long-awaited tablet:
The box practically did not wrinkle (thanks to the post office workers for this). The proud inscription TABLET PC is visible on the box and there are no other inscriptions.
We open the box and see the tablet itself packed in a bag with pimples:
We take it out of the box. The screen and the back of the tablet are covered with packaging film.
The following characteristics are declared: memory 4GB, screen size 7 ″, battery life 6 hours, processor AllWinner A13, capacitive touchscreen, processor frequency 1.2GHz, RAM 512MB, Wifi, webcam, G Sensor, operating android system 4.0, display resolution 800 × 480, weight 350 g.
The only incomprehensible HDMI point, it says - HDMI standard mini interface. What kind of mini-interface is not clear. I have not found the HDMI connector anywhere. Well, it doesn't matter at that price.
The rest of the characteristics correspond to those stated.
Let's continue to consider the delivery set further. A charger is packed under the tablet, uSB cable - microUSB, oTG cable microUSB and instruction manual.
Here is the complete package:
The fourth android is indeed installed on the tablet. True, no applications are worth it, but maybe this is for the best - you can always install something to your taste, and delete it already installed applications not everyone will like it.
The back is also wrapped in plastic:
I ripped off all the tapes at once. There seems to be more on the screen protective film (like those that are glued to phones). This is probably a factory screen protector. I did not rip it off, although in several places I could see several small air bubbles inside. I put some applications to see how they go. Everything I tried installed. The only problem with the camera is that some programs cannot capture camera control. Although the camera works, I checked it. They say that it is possible because of the 4th android. But the camera is not particularly important to me, so I just forgot about this drawback.
Wait for it:
In general, the tablet pleased me. Responsive capacitive touch, the speed is amazing, the menu is not dull, everything moves easily, shifts to the side, slides in. Everything works just fine.
Quadrant Advanced showed 2178 points. The tablet is on this test between Samsung Galaxy Tab and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. AnTuTu Benchmark v2.9.1 intended 3142. CPU 1481, MEM 3777, I / O 3115, 2D 989, 3D 1529.
The battery lasts for 2-3 hours for watching a video, if you read it - about the same. If you turn off the backlight, it takes much longer (I definitely did not detect it, but I think it will work for 4-5 hours until it is completely turned off). A worthy product of Chinese engineering.
All photos were taken with a Kodak EasyShare C1530 camera.
P.S. It would be nice to buy monster beats headphones for the tablet. All monster beats headphones have a very good sound... The main goal of the creator of these headphones was that the headphones had to convey to the listener the music in all its beauty, every sound. Every melody. This product must be unique due to its quality and characteristics. So that such opportunities cannot be obtained even from the most expensive headphones. That is, the sound quality comes first. All this was done so that people could listen to their favorite music. "People don't hear all the music!" Is the motto of the man who created the monster beats headphones.
Recently decided buy tablet AllWinner A13... Why did I choose this particular model ?? First of all, it was intended for basic functions: listening to music, being able to surf the Internet anywhere and at any time, well, it is still possible to play a little games while I get to work After reading reviews about the AllWinner A13 tablet, I came to the conclusion that this device fully meets my requirements. And given the fact that I often travel around the country, it is very convenient to use this gadget on the way. Positive quality this tablet is its weight. Agree, it is much more convenient to travel on the road with a 300-gram tablet than with a 3-kilogram laptop. Tablet price AllWinner A13 is really funny , namely 55-60 dollars.
After getting acquainted with this purchase, I decided to create a review of the AllWinner A13 tablet for you. It has a Cortex-A8 processor with clock frequency 1.2 gigahertz and a Mali400 video accelerator, which copes well with 3D graphics. The motherboard in the Allwinner a13 tablet pc only supports single-core processors, although many online stores indicate Dual Core or Multi Core in the descriptions. Since the A13 chip is budgetary, HDMI and Bluetooth are not supported in it. Reviewing the AllWinner A13 tablet I want to note that the maximum supported RAM is 512 MB. Older tablet models used the Android 4.0 operating system. To date, the AllWinner A13 tablet comes with Android 4.1. Which, of course, had a positive effect on the efficiency of the device.

Pros: decent price, fairly good speed, fresh Android 4.1 OS.
The downsides are: weak battery and little RAM for more complex games.
By conducting review of the AllWinner A13 tablet I want to note that it really is worth the money. Indeed, for $ 50, in fact, you cannot buy a device with the same characteristics from well-known manufacturers.
Since I do not particularly like to perform in public, I decided to choose for The most suitable video review of the AllWinner A13 tablet. After all, I think it's better to see everything with your own eyes once than to re-read the characteristics a hundred times on various resources.
AllWinner A13 tablet video review:
I recently bought myself an Allwinner A13 tablet. The tablet itself is a candy bar with a seven-inch screen on android base 4.0.
Full coverage :. Why did the choice fall on him? Let's start with the fact that the tablet was originally bought for Internet access, listening to music and of course toys. In general, for travel by subway, plane, bus, etc. The second is the price category, it's not a secret for anyone that the AllWinner A13 processor is designed for use in tablets of the lower price level.
Prices for A13-based devices start at $ 60-70. So far, the outdated VIA WM8650 processor and the slightly more efficient Infotmic IMAPx210 dominate in this price segment.
All Winner A13 based devices work under android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), can play high quality videos and have support for 3D games. AllWinner A13 has one ARM Cortex-A8 core, clocked at 1 GHz and one Mali400 video core with 3D graphics support.
A little warning about the descriptions in Chinese stores. If the name of the A13 processor says Dual Core or Multi Core, don't believe it. The A13 processor has one main core.
The processor does not support HDMI and Bluetooth, so tablets on the A13 with video output to a TV and Bluetooth connectivity You won't see. Also, there will be no tablets with rAM more than 512 megabytes.
The main advantage over other cheap processors is higher performance and support for Android 4. Compared to AMLogic 8726-M, All Winner A10 and Rockchip RK2918 more low price with comparable performance.
Characteristics from the site where the tablet was bought:
- Weight: 267g (0.59lb.)
- Size: 18.00cm x 12.00cm x 0.95cm (7.09in x 4.73in x 0.37in)
- Operating system: Android 4.0
- CPU Allwinner A13 1.0GHz
- CPU Mali-400
- RAM 512MB DDR3
- 4GB memory
- Supports micro SD / TF card up to 32GB
- screen size 7-inch
- resolution 800 * 480 pixels
- Wi-Fi
- supports IEEE802.11b / g / n

- the battery lasts from 5 to 8 hours.
Well now, let's see the appearance of the device:
on the back side:
The packaging is standard, with places of psychedelic icons:
Surprisingly, the box came in a pretty decent appearance, without kicking the mail of Russia as usual) The complete set of the tablet, of course, wants to leave the best! But this is called what you wanted for 70 bucks!)))
I am glad that the adapter was put)) I myself would never have guessed that if they sell goods to the foreign market, they will make a Chinese plug for the socket) Well, okay, even though the adapter was put in and it pleases))
At the expense of ports. 2 ports are located on one side of the tablet, top-right (this is a connector micro usb and connector for charger). And also the on / off button.
there is also a slot for a memory card:
Let's move on to the work of the tablet, by default, the tablet greets us with an unpretentious pinkish wallpaper, as, indeed, other similar tablets:
The general menu looks like this:
Now let's take a look at what this tablet is claiming:
Everything matches the description given by the supplier.
Let's now take a look at the memory state:
Here I was confused by the fact that the supplier claims memory in 4GB, where did the other 2.5 go ?? Well, okay there were a couple of some chinese programs with a total weight of 1GB, and where is 1.5 more?
At the expense of applications, I still can not clearly formulate, applications such as zombies and poker work perfectly! Video, calls from Skype also pass, but Skype slowed down a little, at first I thought because of the tablet, then we checked the same garbage on the computer, that something with the connection was probably not right.
The browser was installed there some kind of Chinese, even in English it was not written how to call it) so my husband changed it to google)
The USB output works fine to the computer, connects without problems, information is downloaded from the computer to the tablet rather quickly. Compared to other Chinese devices, USB port suitable)))
The disadvantages of this unpretentious device are undoubtedly the fact that the Chinese have not yet thought of a device of such a plan to suck up the bluetooth and hDMI wire, with these quirks it would be much more profitable to use it. But here, of course, the price has its advantage, for such a price, you can keep your mouth shut.
Pros:
Low price
+ High speed of work
+ Android 4.0
+ Skype works (video + audio)
+ Easy to upgrade firmware
Minuses:
One weak speaker
- Short operating time at maximum load
- Strange organization of memory
- Throw out the standard charger immediately or hang ferrite on it.
In general, I am satisfied with this device. I want to repeat that the tablet was bought exclusively for entertainment purposes, no one had any thoughts to stuff it with some kind of super-applications that he obviously would not pull. The conclusion is this: for a reasonable price, you can buy a tablet without superpowers, but with all essential functionsthat may be in this device.
Many thanks to the user for the prepared review from the administration
Today, many people have acquired Allwinner a13 tablets. In fact, these are quite good budget devices and they cope with all the tasks of this price segment with a bang. But there is one problem, if your firmware has crashed, it is very difficult to find the appropriate softwareexactly right for you.
, in fact, the matter is not very difficult, but first I want to explain what the main problem is. This model is assembled in about ten different factories in China, and each having the same characteristics, the manufacturer uses different components. Which naturally complicates the process of installing the operating system. If anyone does not know, then for the camera, Wi-Fi and much more, individual drivers are needed for the device to fully function, using all the possibilities. It is for this reason that the Internet has a huge variety of software modifications for these tablets.
What is needed firmware allwinner tablet a13? To determine the software modification specifically for your device, you need to disassemble it. On the bottom motherboard under the touchscreen, the model and assembly number of the tablet are indicated. For example, I have Q8-V12 2013-09-17. Learning necessary information you can choose exactly your firmware.
If you have coped with the above selection of software, then you can move on. Next, I will describe in detail how it happens allwinner a13 tablet firmware via Live suite or Phoenix usb:
- Turn off the tablet completely.
- Run the selected live app suite or Phoenix usb and add the previously downloaded firmware file in the zip archive
- Next, you need to connect the USB cable to the allwinner a13, but do not connect it to the PC yet.
- Then, hold down and hold any of the volume buttons.
- Further, without releasing the volume rocker, we connect the device to the PC.
- After connecting to the computer, also hold down the volume key, and press the power button very often, until the corresponding sound is issued by the operating room windows system while connecting the USB stick.
- In the Live suite or Phoenix usb, a window will appear for full formatting, press “YES” everywhere.
- The allwinner a13 tablet firmware has started.
- Wait for the software installation to complete. And the firmware is installed !!!
By the way, the battery must be fully chargedso that later you do not have to repeat the entire procedure from the very beginning. , it's a difficult matter, if you have any questions, you can write them in the comments, I will try to answer as quickly and clearly as possible. And if there is no desire to reflash the tablet, you can see my article
In the world of Android devices over the years software platform gathered a huge number of the most diverse representatives. Among them, there are products that attract the consumer, primarily by their low cost, but at the same time the ability to perform basic tasks. Allwinner is one of the most popular hardware platforms for such devices. Let's consider the possibilities of flashing tablet PCs based on Allwinner A13.
Devices based on Allwinner A13, from the point of view of the possibility of performing operations with the software part, have several features that affect the success of the firmware, that is, the operation of all hardware and software components properly as a result. Much of the positive effect of reinstalling software depends on the correct preparation of the tools and necessary files.
Manipulations performed by users with the tablet according to the instructions below may lead to negative consequences or lack of the expected result. All actions of the owner of the device are performed by him at his own peril and risk. The resource administration does not bear any responsibility for possible damage to the device!
In most cases, the user thinks about the possibility of flashing the tablet on the Allwinner A13 when the device loses its functionality. In other words, the device does not turn on, stops loading, hangs on the splash screen, etc.
The situation is quite common and can arise as a result of various user actions, as well as software glitches, manifested due to the unfairness of the developers of firmware for these products. The trouble is most often fixable, it is only important to strictly follow the recovery instructions.
Step 1: figuring out the model
This seemingly simple step can be difficult due to the presence on the market of a huge number of "noname" devices, as well as a large number of fakes under well-known brands.
It's good if the Allwinner A13 tablet was released by a fairly popular manufacturer and the latter took care of the proper level technical support... In such cases, it is usually not difficult to find out the model, as well as find the required firmware and the tool to install it. It is enough to look at the name on the case or packaging and go with these data to the official website of the company that released the device.
What if the manufacturer of the tablet, not to mention the model, is unknown, or we have a fake that shows no signs of life?
Remove the back cover of the tablet. Usually this does not cause any particular difficulties, it is enough to gently pry it with the help of, for example, a pick and then remove it.
You may need to first unscrew a few small screws securing the cover to the case.
After disassembly, we inspect printed circuit board for the presence of various inscriptions. We are interested in the marking of the motherboard. It needs to be rewritten for further software search. 
In addition to the model of the motherboard, it is advisable to record the marking of the display used, as well as all other information found. Their presence can facilitate the search required files further.
After the model of the motherboard of the tablet has become known, we proceed to search for the image file containing the necessary software. If for devices whose manufacturer has an official website, everything is usually simple - just enter the name of the model in the search field and download the desired solution, then for noname devices from China it can be difficult to find the necessary files, and the search for downloaded solutions that do not function properly after installation in the tablet, take a long time.
It should be noted that if there is an inoperative device on the Allwinner A13, moreover, unnamed, there is no other way out but to flash all more or less suitable images in turn until a positive result is obtained.
Fortunately, the platform is practically not "killed" by writing the wrong software into memory. In the worst case, the process of transferring files to the device simply does not start, or after manipulations the tablet PC will be able to start, but its certain components will not work - camera, touchscreen, bluetooth, etc. Therefore, we experiment.
Step 3: Installing Drivers
The firmware of devices based on the Allwinner A13 hardware platform is carried out using a PC and specialized Windows utilities. Of course, drivers are required to pair the device and computer.
The most efficient method for obtaining tablet drivers is to download and install the Android SDK from Android Studio.
In almost all cases, after installing the above software package, you only need to connect the tablet to the PC to install the drivers. Then the whole process will take place automatically.
If you encounter any problems with the drivers, we try to use components from the packages downloaded from the link:
Firmware
So, the preparatory procedures are completed. Let's start writing data to the tablet memory.
As a recommendation, we note the following.
If the tablet is functional, boots into Android and functions relatively well, you need to think carefully before flashing. Improving performance or expanding functionality as a result of applying the instructions below will most likely not work, and the chances of aggravating the problems are quite high. We carry out the steps of one of the firmware methods if it is necessary to restore the device.
The process can be done in three ways. Methods are ranked in order of efficiency and ease of use - from least effective and simple to more complex. In the general case, we use the instructions in turn, until a positive result is obtained.
Method 1: Recover software from MicroSD
The easiest way to install the firmware into a device on the Allwinner A13 is to use the software recovery platform's hardware capabilities built into the developer. If the tablet "sees" special files written in a certain way on the MicroSD card when it starts up, the recovery process starts automatically before the Android starts loading.
The PhoenixCard utility will help you to prepare a memory card for such manipulations. You can download the archive with the program at the link:
For manipulations, you need a MicroSD of 4 GB or higher. The data on the card will be destroyed while the utility is running, so you need to take care of copying it to another location in advance. You will also need a card reader to connect the MicroSD to a PC.
- We unpack the package with PhoenixCard into a separate folder, the name of which does not contain spaces.
Run the utility - double click on the file PhoenixCard.exe.
- We install the memory card into the card reader and determine the letter of the removable drive by choosing from the list "Disk"located at the top of the program window.
- Add an image. Push the button "Img File" and specify the file in the Explorer window that appears. Push the button "Open".
- Make sure the switch is in the field "Write Mode" set to position "Product" and press the button "Burn".
- We confirm the correctness of the drive selection by pressing the button "Yes" in the request window.
- Formatting starts,
and then writing the image-file. The procedure is accompanied by filling in the indicator and the appearance of entries in the log field.
- After displaying the inscription in the log field of procedures "Burn End ..." the process of creating a MicroSD for Allwinner firmware is considered complete. We remove the card from the card reader.
- PhoenixCard can be left open, the utility will be needed to restore the memory card's performance after using it in the tablet.
- We insert the MicroSD into the device and turn it on by long pressing the hardware key "Food"... The procedure for transferring the firmware to the device will start automatically. The evidence of manipulation is the filled indicator field.
- Upon completion of the procedure, a short time the inscription is displayed "Card OK" and the tablet turns off.
We remove the card and only after that we start the device by long pressing the key "Food"... The first boot after the above procedure may take over 10 minutes. - We restore the memory card for future use. To do this, you need to install it in the card reader and press the button in PhoenixCard "Format to Normal".
When formatting is complete, a window will appear confirming the success of the procedure.
.
Method 2: Livesuit
The Livesuit app is the most commonly used flash / repair tool for Allwinner A13 based devices. You can get the archive with the application by clicking on the link:
Method 3: PhoenixUSBPro
Another tool that allows you to manipulate internal memory Android tablets based on the Allwinner A13 platform is the Phoenix application. The solution download is available here:
As you can see, restoring the performance of a tablet built on the basis of the Allwinner A13 hardware platform with the right choice firmware files, as well as the necessary software tool - a procedure that can be carried out by everyone, even a novice user. It is important to do everything carefully and not to despair if there is no success on the first try. If you cannot achieve the result, we repeat the process using other firmware images or another method of writing information to the device's memory sections.
