Onda V820W is a Cheap Dual Boot Tablet Unboxed

More and more dual boot tablets are appearing, but usually we only get to see their press renders and specs list, without some hands on action. Today, one such model, the Onda V820W gets both unboxed and reviewed, with benchmarks included, courtesy of Gizchina.

The product is available with 16 GB of storage or 32 GB and relies on an Intel Z3735F quad core x86 64 bit processor, clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. There’s also 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM inside, a microSD card slot on board and a HDMI out port. Onda V820W has an 8 inch screen with a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and colors and contrast are said to be very good.

This model is priced at just $113 and its benchmarks are pretty solid, with 34821 points scored in AnTuTu or 803/2126 scored in GeekBench 3. This model runs both Android and Windows 8.1, both of them smoothly and lag-free. Games like Dead Trigger 2 and Real Racing 3 work like a charm here. Apparently, there are still a few bugs to iron out, most of them related to the way Android runs on the device.

There’s a buggy Onda launcher in the mix and a ton of bloatware to face. The device features a 4000 mAh battery, that provides about 4.5 hours of screen on time, which is OK for a tablet barely past the $100 price mark. Overall, this sounds like a good dual boot device, but only if it gets rid of the Android problems. You can buy it here.
