Today, I’m super excited to dive into something fresh and intriguing—the iPlay 70 Mini ULTRA by Alldocube. This tablet is making waves even before its official release, and for good reason. Alldocube has been steadily stepping up their game in the tablet world, and this little powerhouse might just be their best effort yet. Let me tell you, after spending some time with it, I can already see why people are buzzing about this one.
First off, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill budget tablet—it’s packed with features that punch way above its weight. We’re talking a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, 12GB of RAM, and a stunning 8.8-inch display that boasts a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. What really caught my eye, though, was the design. The aluminum build feels premium, and those thin bezels give it a modern, sleek look. And get this—it comes with dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and even HDMI-out support. How many tablets in this price range can say that?
My Experience with iPlay 70 Mini ULTRA
The iPlay 70 Mini ULTRA by Alldocube is a tablet that brings some serious heat to the table, and honestly, it’s got me pretty excited. This little device isn’t just another budget-friendly option—it’s packed with features that make it feel like a premium gadget without breaking the bank. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor under the hood is no joke. It’s fast, efficient, and handles everything I throw at it like a champ. From multitasking between apps to gaming, this thing doesn’t stutter or lag. If you’re into mobile gaming, titles like PUBG Mobile and Asphalt Legends Unity run buttery smooth on this tablet. And thanks to the upgraded GPU performance, even visually demanding games look crisp and vibrant.
Storage is generous too. You get 256GB of internal storage, and since it only uses about 29GB for the OS and pre-installed apps, you’ve got plenty of space left for your files. If that’s not enough, you can pop in a MicroSD card for extra room. Virtual RAM is another cool feature here—you can add up to 8GB of virtual RAM on top of the 12GB already available. That’s a lot of memory for a tablet in this category.
Performance-wise, this tablet crushes its predecessors. Compared to older models like the iPlay 60 Mini Turbo and Mini Pro, the iPlay 70 Mini ULTRA blows them out of the water in both single-core and multi-core benchmarks. The GPU scores are particularly impressive, making it a great choice for gamers or anyone who wants a responsive device.
One of the standout features for me has to be the display. It’s an 8.8-inch screen with a resolution of 1600×2560, which means everything looks sharp and detailed. But what really sets it apart is the 144Hz refresh rate. Scrolling through social media or swiping between screens feels incredibly fluid, almost like you’re gliding rather than tapping. The colors are punchy too—perfect for streaming shows on Netflix or YouTube. Speaking of streaming, the Widevine L1 certification ensures you can enjoy HD content without any hiccups. And hey, if you’re into tweaking settings, you can adjust the refresh rate to 60Hz, 90Hz, or 144Hz depending on your preference or battery needs.
One minor gripe I have is with the touchscreen sensitivity. Occasionally, I found myself having to press a little harder than usual for the screen to register my input. It’s not a constant issue, but it happens enough to be noticeable. Hopefully, this gets ironed out before the official release.
Audio-wise, the speakers do a decent job. They’re not as loud as some tablets with quad speakers, like the Galaxy Tab A9, but the sound quality is still clear and balanced. Whether you’re listening to music or watching videos, it gets the job done. And for those who want to connect to external displays, this tablet has HDMI-out support via a USB-C adapter. That’s a feature you don’t often see in this price range, and it’s perfect for presentations or streaming content to a bigger screen.
Now let’s talk about design because this is one good-looking tablet. The aluminum back gives it a premium feel, and those thin bezels around the screen make it sleek and modern. I love the red accent on the power button—it’s a small touch but adds a bit of personality. The build quality feels solid, though I did notice the right edge felt a little sharp where the screen meets the frame. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s worth mentioning. Also, there’s a built-in screen protector right out of the box, which is always a nice bonus. No need to rush out and buy one separately.
On the software side, it runs Android 14 with the December 5th security patch. It’s not the latest version of Android, but it’s close enough, and the interface feels smoother and faster compared to previous Alldocube tablets. The split keyboard design is enabled by default, which might take some getting used to, but you can switch back to a standard layout in the settings. There’s also a game mode, battery saver, and other handy shortcuts in the notification shade. Little things like double-tap-to-wake and customizable widgets add to the user experience.
The cameras are functional but nothing to write home about. There’s a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. You can shoot up to 4K video, which is surprising for a tablet like this, but the autofocus struggles a bit during photos and videos. Still, unless you’re planning to use this as your primary camera (which, let’s be real, nobody does), it’s fine for quick snaps or video calls.
This tablet also supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, which means faster and more stable connections. Whether you’re downloading large files or streaming high-quality videos, you won’t have to worry about interruptions. Its compact size makes it super portable. Holding it with one hand feels natural, and it’s light enough to carry around without feeling like a burden.
Battery life is another area where this tablet shines. With a 7300mAh battery, it lasted over 8 hours in my battery drain test at full brightness. That’s impressive for a compact tablet like this. Even with mixed use—browsing, watching videos, and playing games—I think most people will easily get a couple of days out of it. Plus, it supports PD fast charging, so when you do need to juice it up, it takes about two hours to go from zero to full. Not bad at all.
