- Great product and definite value for money Review by Brett
-
I've had my Vi40 Elite for a few months and have been very pleased with it. The specs are great, battery life is good and the display and audio quality is more than sufficient. Have used a great many apps on the device and have had very few issues. Obviously in terms of processing power it is not as powerful as the iPad's and Galaxy Tab's of the world but only really intensive 3D games should give you a problem on this tablet. In my experience other than a few non-working apps which I don't expect to the fault of the tablet I have worked without issue.Star
If you want to use a case to protect your tablet you might have a small issue as the speakers are on the back of the tablet and become muffled, Ideally the speakers should be side or front mounted in my opinion but that is the only design decision I could critique. Otherwise this is an excellent product and definite value for money.
On a simple side note, you should consider a screen protector a mandatory accessory when purchasing a tablet. In the course of general usage and cleaning I have noted some fine scratches on the screen. Nothing to reduce display quality when the tablet is on but a definite warning that a protector is a definite must have.

I have had my tablet for about three months and it is the best I have ever seen. Once people start to know this tablet and realize its potential, the ipad had better watch out. This is the first true ipad killer. (Posted on 9/4/12)Star - девайс зачетный!!! Review by Славентий

For the price, this is an amazing product. This is almost at the same level as the ipad2.. I mean when i turned it on, the purity of the colours and the smoothness of scrolling from one page to the next was just beautiful. I cant believe i didnt get this earlier. I highly recommend this tablet for anyone thinking of getting an android tablet. 5/5 for sure!! (Posted on 6/19/12)Star - Excellent tablet - especially for the price! Review by Julian

I got my Onda Vi40 Elite delivered to Australia this morning (Thursday), after ordering on-line on Monday afternoon – well done Onda & DHL!Star
Well, what can I say? I'm loving it so far!
First – the good news:
The screen is brilliant – really sharp, bright, and very smooth to scroll, zoom, etc. The whole unit feels smooth and slick to use, even though it only has a single-core 1 GHz processor (plus a 400 MHz Mali GPU). I have loaded up a few 3D games, and they all seem to play fine.
Battery life? Too early to tell yet, but it looks like it will be OK. I got about 4 hours or so continuous use out of the first charge; Wi-Fi on the whole time, lots of downloading, benchmarking, swapping between Apps, video and music, etc, so it was a petty intensive work-out. I would expect battery life to improve after a few discharge / recharge cycles, and more typical usage patterns.
It has been rock-solid so far – running on the pre-installed Android 4.0.3, with no mods or hacks, no crashes or freezes.
Specs (1.0 GHz single-core plus 400 MHz Mali GPU) may appear to be modest by current state-of-the-art tablet standards, but I am truly impressed at the performance you can buy for $200 these days!
Problems?
The only issue has been that a couple of my favourite Apps couldn't be downloaded directly from the Google Play market – in particular, I couldn't install Google Maps (but Google Earth was fine) or YouTube from Google Play. However, it was easy enough to find the apk files with a quick Google search, so I have managed to install Google Maps (with Street View) and YouTube OK, and both are working fine.
Also, Onda – can you please stop referring to it as 1.5 GHz, when it is only 1.0 GHz when supplied? Doing my research before buying, I had worked this out before I purchased, but it is quite misleading, and might get you some negative review comments which could harm the reputation of this excellent tablet. If you mean “can be over-clocked to 1.5 GHz”, or “1 GHz CPU plus 400 MHz GPU”, say so, but don’t advertise it as 1.5 GHz.
All in all – a brilliant machine – especially considering the price! (Posted on 6/8/12) - excellant service! Review by maks

Execellant service and experience from start to finish. My initial queries were answered within minutes via email. Once I placed my order on fri afternoon, the device was shipped on sat afternoon and DHL delivered it to my door mon afternoon. I can't get that kind of next day delivery ordering from locat retailers!Star
The device itself is pretty much as advertised, came well packaged and packed. A very nice screen, though lack of vol buttons is bit annoying. Its same size and weight as an ipad but about twice the thickness so 'slimline' is a bit relative.
Just came back here to leave a comment and noticed there is already a new firmware beta update since I ordered it! adding OTA update functionality.
Oh and the tablet even arrrived with a AUS power plug adapter on the power pack, without my even asking, hows that for thoughtful.
Needless to say I'm a very happy first time customer.
