      You mentioned Android tablet next to Ipad, Ipad Mini and Ultrabook. 4 completely different products, I think you're confused as to what product you actually need and should first figure that out.

      PS: It took one click for me to obtain the following information:

      "Use your tablet to make phone calls and receive SMS messages"

      Nothing at all wrong with the res for this price…

      • Click_It on 29/05/2013 - 11:23

        I agree, whilst I would NEVER go lower, 1280x800 is absolutely fine for 10.1"

        I'm glad to see they're no longer pushing out those lower res tablets. This actually looks pretty good.

  • CyberGenesys on 29/05/2013 - 10:57

    3G: WCDMA 850 / 2100,

    That's Telstra only right? No Optus?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2013 - 10:58

      I thought Optus was running on 900 and 2100, so part of Optus

    • oz-dxer on 29/05/2013 - 11:11

      probably geared around "Aldi phone service" which uses part of Telstras 3g and they have the data option too.

    • ThirdRonnie on 29/05/2013 - 11:34

      Also Vodafone in cities on their new 850MHz network.

      Optus 2100MHz if you can get it.

    • ozhunter68 on 29/05/2013 - 11:50

      It will work on Optus, just as it says below, part of Optus ( read maybe slower/less range ). And yes, it should generally work better for Telstra/Telstra resellers and even to some extent Vodafone also ( they use 850 mhz and 900 mhz )/

      That's what I thought. But the Actions ATM7029 chip proved me wrong. Smoother than my brothers Sony Tablet S.

      Yep, that's not even one sticker per core = deal breaker.

  • Click_It on 29/05/2013 - 11:32

    Probably a silly question but, can these charge off regular 5V USB supply? Trying to gauge whether I can use my external battery. Since it says 6000mAh / 3.7V I assume the answer is YES?

    Just asking coz I have seen tablets require a propriety charger and won't charge from USB. This one appears to be fine though.

    EDIT: Nevermind, it was a silly question, the answer is YES :)

    • ozhunter68 on 29/05/2013 - 12:11

      In answer to your question, it is yes if you use a usb lead with the correct propriety size socket such as shown in the accessory pack for this model tablet ( see link above in bottom of post ), and probably ( assuming using my limited knowledge :-) need a source ( output power ) with enough amperage, or watts depending on amount of voltage. Whether this tablet will charge via the micro usb socket I can't say, as I have not got this tablet to test, but if it did work, would be noticeably slower. Some tablets do, some don't, up to manufacturing engineering specs.

  • salem on 29/05/2013 - 11:56

    in the other accessories: "And a bluetooth speaker stand and dock". Not a dock. Just a stand. You hang the cable out of the stand and plug it in to your phone/tablet. See the pics on the link.

    • barghunt1 on 31/05/2013 - 06:49

      I'd like to know what the weight is too as well as battery life.

  • fijianloki on 29/05/2013 - 12:04

    Previous return the tablet (the last sale of tablets from Aldi). Had issues with WIFI (weak signal strength).

    Is there any way of upgrading the firmware, previous version couldn't connect to the creator's site.

  • SumTingRon on 29/05/2013 - 12:06

    Does anyone know its dimension & weight?

  • zombie hunter on 29/05/2013 - 12:24

    I hope this one an improvement over the last one.

    Block-quote "Last time they sold a tablet was this one http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/93749 advertised as a dual-core device but was in-fact a single core" <

    Not true. That was their first Tablet, over a year ago. The last two have been correctly advertised as Dual core.

    Anyway, this one does look like a goer… 16:9 screen, higher res, Quad core vs the old one. Albiet the A5 cores are a bit slow. Would help to know the ODM

  • morpheu on 29/05/2013 - 13:15

    The last one was a real dual core, Agg from OCAU reviewed it back in Feb 2013 here http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=1074043&P=1 he liked it for the price, compared to previous version it lost HDMI port but gained GPS and 3g, reception for review for GPS OK but 3g was flaky, re resolution, ever since getting a quad core with retina type panel, I've been spoiled, no way i,'m going back to 1280x800!

    Well.. that's you. But a lot of us would prefer built in Modem. What does frustrate me is no Telco allows multiple Sims across one account. I'd happily pay a relatively small monthly fee to enable say an extra 2 data only Sims on one mobile plan. That would cover a laptop and a tablet nicely. The fee would cover their overheads in having extra connections on the network. I believe this possible in some other countries

  • OzzyB2013 on 05/06/2013 - 11:55

    .
    According to Qualcomm site the QualComm MSM8225Q is a Snapdragon 200

    http://www.qualcomm.com.au/products/snapdragon

    so it's not the latest but is pretty new technology running the tablet
    just bought one now I'm glad I missed out when they had the dual-core in February

    I got this tablet today. Seems fast enough and the screen is nice. Only thing bad is that wifi tether is not working so I cannot use it to share my 3g internet to other devices. I have seen this bug on other similar android ROMS. I guess 4.2 would fix this but who knows if it will ever become available for this tablet. Anyway, This will not be an issue to most people. As for the accessories, the cover is ok, but I have seen much better and the blu-tooth stand sucks that it will not charge the phone.

      hi there,
      I too have just bought the same tablet from aldi. I tried to tether and it will not work either, is this going to be a problem with this model.

      I can only afford one internet account and tethering seems the only way to share the account.

      Is it possible to connect via the supplied cable with a usb connection on the end and just plug in the usb dongle? the manual say something abut it getting hot but I'm not sure if that is what is being referred too?

      also, I'm used to windows XP and this android system does not seem to have a displayed file system? am I missing something basic in the home screen?

      • [Deactivated] on 07/06/2013 - 14:03

        The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that Aldi might be quite content with a situation that sees people unable to tether from the tablet. People who sign up with Aldi Mobile may end up using less data as a result.

        Have any previous Aldi tabs ever received software updates? Don't know, but you may have to resort to forum searches - even if it's for tablets with similar basic cpu/gpu specs - for a ROM that fixes the problem.

        Can't help at all with the Windows question - never tried any Android connection with XP.

        As for the dongle question… if it runs hot sticking out your laptop it will similarly draw resources from your tablet, making it pretty warm in the process.
        As for basic compatibility - things are somewhat better than they used to be. Despite the built-in 3G there's a reasonable chance that a specific (may be small) list of dongle models with specific chipsets will be compatible with your tab. If you can't find anything online, ring the Bauhn/Medion support line, I guess.

        Easier option may be to buy a cheap Android phone and tether from that. I bought a Huawei Y201 recently for that specific purpose.
        Hope that helps - at least a bit.

      • CyberGenesys on 08/06/2013 - 09:53

        If you mean one of those usb 3g sticks, couldn't you put the sim into the tablet?

        • daver on 08/06/2013 - 10:17

          Not without limiting online connectivity to the tablet device alone.

          I can only afford one internet account and tethering seems the only way to share the account.

          The fault in firmware would seem apparent.

  • kiwipride on 10/06/2013 - 17:42

    No GPU? Mine won't play HD movies.

  • SumTingRon on 12/06/2013 - 09:20

    Play around with mine and these are what i found:
    - weight: abt 881g
    - wifi: working fine
    - using iphone hotspot: slughish, slow, takes a few seconds to load a site
    - using Just Mobile prepaid sim (no data) to make phone call: does not work, havent tried other sim
    - USB OTG cable: doesnt recognise OTG, even my ainol Fire does, tried download several apps to fix this but still unsuccessful.
    - no HDMI port
    - back camera: ok, it tries to take the best picture (i.e less blurry while the camera was movin) within 2 secs
    - auto go back to home screen while browsing the net in several occasions
    - only 1 speaker at the back
    - accessories pack: doesnt have OTG, the case doesnt close properly (with the tablet), cost too much! IMO only worth $5!

    Verdict: Not worth $250, I will keep it if it's $150!

    They still have heaps in stock, I think they will drop the price soon.

  • CyberGenesys on 29/06/2013 - 15:46

    These are still available (Chirnside Park, Vic) and have been reduced to $199
