Onda V972 is nothing else than a good looking tablet with a nice display which is useless in practice !!!
Unofortunately i lost my money !!!
5 hours the longest battery life ( screen back light lowest )
It crashes all the time.
In one hour it is crashed the half.
You have to turn it off and on again....and in 5 minutes it crashes again !!!
Just lost my money and my time.
I had to reset to factory settings five times till now !!!
Thank god i own the app my back up pro, which helps the back up prossedure.....
Do not loose your money like i did !!!!
2 stars only for the display.
But why to have a display that i cannot use??? (Posted on 2/22/13)

50-50 Review by rajlesta

-Nice screen or display clarity, better than my samsung s2
-Built up nice, very slim and great feeling
-Performance wise, not too bad
-Battery i think it is not bad, it comes with 8000mah, since the tablet have IPS screen, it consume more power. Even my s2 cant even stand 1 full day.
-Tried connecting to HDTV via HDMI output, it works great.


bad about this tablet
-I just bought it 2days ago, and had already factory reset 5-6times (means i have re-install apps from play store again and again) Some users adviced me to use Nova Launcher instead, and uninstall stock launcher which is believed causing freezing/stuck issue. So far tablet is ok with Nova.
-Built in speaker sound is too low, I always have to use headphone when watching movies, etc

conclusion: mixed feeling because of constant freeze but i think Nova launcher would help fixing this issue. Also hoping someone would create custom ROM (root & recovery is available now) otherwise it is nice tablet just because of the screen.. (Posted on 2/18/13)

Not so good as I ecpected... Review by KONSTANTINOS

Star

I've just received the Onda V972 few days ago. First impression was nice especially with rethina screen and its Quad Core processor. But, soon I realised two serious issues. First of all, WI-FI strength is very weak so most of the times connection to internet is bad or unable especially if the tablet is operating 5-6 meter away from rooter. The only way of being high quality connected (3-4 bars) is to be near of it. Keep on mind that my rooter is working properly and all my other devices (laptop, mobile phone) are connected instantly with great strength. Secondly the battery is also weak and its lifetime does not exceed 6 hours usage. My device baseband version is v1.2 and I've already executed factory data reset but these problems remain. I hope company trying to solve soon theese negative points of V972.

Mixed feelings.. :) Review by BIKER

I have received the tablet yesterday and had a little time to play with it. It came with 1.2 firmware version.
+fantastic screen
+good back camera
+good speed, little bit lag
+good build quality, looks great

-battery life. started reading ebook, for 10 minutes battery dropped 4 percent,,,so lets say max 4 hours with screen on minimum. screen with sepia theme on Mantano Reader.
-constantly freezes with default launcher (restart needed). Helps to install Apex launcher
-installed speakers low quality/sound/loudness
-with connected headphones I hear constant noise when ever I touch something on screen and the tablet works.
When the music or movie is stared these noises are not to hear.

Hope that newer firmwares could give us better battery usage and solve the problem with the sound. (Posted on 2/8/13)

Great value Review by Gary

Star

This is a great tablet, the screen colours are very vibrant, however the battery is poor (about 5 hours use) and does not live up to its 8000 Ah capacity as compared to similar Android tablets(up to 10 hours) with the same battery, therefore the screen needs to be kept on low light, which can be dull. the tablet is fast, volume is satisfactory with headphones and without, just wish that they could have put the speakers on both sides to give it the stereo effect. The on and off button is on the side when in landscape mode and its easy to accidentley switch the tablet off. On the whole a great tablet, Onda should take account of this feedback and make V973 a winner (Posted on 2/8/13)

V972 Review by scott in Alabama USA

Star

Just received my V972 after a long wait. The wait was well worth it. This unit far out shines my duel core tablet I currently have. The display is excellent. Colors are vibrant. It is very quick when switching from one application to another. In some ways it is equally as good as my wife's iPad 4. Personally I think the V972 display is better. I'm not a big fan of Apple in general. Much prefer Android. The aluminium back shell has a matte finish and so much slippery than my wife's iPad. Her iPad can easily slip out of your hand. You may have had that experience too. The V972 keyboard is very responsive. The only aspect that could be better is the distance I can away from my wireless router as compared to my wife's iPad. IPad is better. However, that being said the V972 is essentially as good as the iPad 4 and is far less costly. In my opinion the V972 wins. Currently I couldn't be more happy. But it's long term functionality story is yet to be told.

V972 onda Review by ANDREW

Star

Great screen, eye popping colours and great resolution

The 4.1 jelly bean is much smoother than ics os .

THE LOCATION OF THE HOME BUTTON AND THE ON/OFF BUTTON IS JUST INSANE , or am I missing something here!.

my vi40 Dual Core has home button on front same as iPad and the on/off button is in the top corner, well out of the way of accidental presses.PERFECT.


Please think about the v973 button locations carefully and put them where they should be .

V972 is a good buy for £150.00gbp. (Posted on 2/5/13)
