pipo tablet m9 for good picking

The pairing of a pipo pro m9 with a non-retina display has proven to be a winning combo in many of my reviews. While the higher pixel density on a retina display has its merits, there is a price to pay when it comes to performance and battery life. The 1280 x 800 display on the Pipo M8 Pro may not look as sharp as a retina display but it is a high quality IPS display. I personally did not find the lack of a retina display to be a handicap on the Pipo M9 Pro.

On the other hand, performance of the pipo tablet m9 is great. Web pages load quickly, even sites with high graphical content or those with a lot of flash content. The Pipo M9 Pro had no problems with opening multiple browser tabs at the same time. Scrolling around the web page or using pinch to zoom is smooth and lag free. The snappy performance also extends to app installs, launching of apps and even high end gaming. 3D intensive games like Shadow Gun run smoothly even when connected to a 1080p display using the HDMI out function.

Last but not least, the battery life is another surprising plus point for the Pipo M9 Pro. The battery is rated at 6500 mAh which is not really large but the tablet managed to last over 7 hours even with heavy use. On the minus side, the tablet does not support charging via the USB ports on the tablet. As expected, video playback is great and the included video player plays just about anything I can throw at it. The player is rather basic but you can always replace it with your player of choice from the Google Play Store. The M8 Pro has good support for the Play Store and as far as I can tell, most if not all the popular apps are supported. The stereo speakers are sufficiently loud although bass is a little lacking. This is probably an unavoidable compromise as strong bass usually causes severe audio distortion when you push up the volume on tiny speakers.

WiFi is another area that the pipo m9 3g excels at. The signal quality is pretty strong compared to the other tablets I tested out. This is rather surprising as I expected worse performance due to the use of a metal housing. I did read of user complaints on WiFi quality but I think these are probably due to hardware defects rather than design problem. The review unit that I got had no WiFi problems. I am not able to comment on the 3G connection quality as the version that I got has no 3G. Both the front and rear cameras are functional. They are good enough for the tasks they are designed for but you won’t be using the cameras to take treasured photos.
