Much Love from Chicago, great video as always

[fabiobertelli]

Hi Chris, regards from Brazil
It's really good to see your videos again 👍🏻

[mayanksingh]

Which tablet would you recommend for good stylus activity? I want a cheap but good tablet for reading books purpose only. So I will be highlighting the important points by stylus. Please recommend a good tablet for that purpose.

Soooo... Should i prefer chuwi hi9 air or chuwi hi9 plus? Bugs on hi9 plus should be solved with an update?

[byron]

Is it faster than the hi9 air for browsing/scrolling web pages?
Is the screen and sound quality better or worse than the hi9 air?

[VernalScott]

Welcome back, Chris. I like this one - another thorough review. Ordered! If I hate it I'll sell it on.

This could have been so good with a snapdragon 660.

I think I was one of the earlier crybabies about including charge time. I LOVE that You actually include it in vids regular now...and it might be a deal breaker for some for this otherwise OK rig.

[BlackCatRedScarf]

I'm just wondering if the stutter and poor game performance could be related to the high resolution and if that could be fixed with a lower resolution (like 1080p or 720p) to play games.

[FaerieDust]

Thank you so much for reviewing this - I've been seriously considering this tablet, but the charging time is probably a deal-breaker for me tbh. The spotty palm rejection definitely is. Performance would probably be fine for me, I'd be using it to annotate PDFs and ePubs (though it might be frustrating in the long run to handle very large PDFs like my heavier textbooks) and maybe read some comics - no gaming and probably not a lot of video streaming either. A good battery life is an absolute must, but those 10-12 hours would be more than good enough for me. I'm generally quite good at extending my devices' battery lives (I average 20 hours of screen on time on my Xiaomi Mi Max 3), but taking so long to charge the battery back up again... :/

[Dvalin]

You will need to redo this review. Other users were getting this same tablet with a September security patch and performance was amazing. The users then went to find a firmware update, not realizing that it was the older update which apparently either came with your tablet or you updated to. I would suggest to going over to XDA Developers where this was discovered and talk to the users who has the previous firmware on the tablet.

thaks for your video sir! love it! does the Chuwi Hi9 have PALM REJECTION? thanks again

[dolangtagung]

Please review the chuwi hi9 plus 2019 version. The one with red power button. Heard it supports hdmi output via usb type-c

[cricetus]

I like the keyboard with docking. I hate those Bluetooth keyboards.

[leledumbo]

Another convincing review for not buying Mediatek X series powered devices.

[RickWizzieFutebol]

Does it have Palm rejection when using the stylus?


does NetFlix work in HD? Have certificate?

[Sensorama]

I will never buy Chuwi again in my life !
I had 4 Chuwi tablets and non, NON lived more than 6 months...
First was DOA, so back to China... Second ( Vi 10 Plus ) failed to sleep when keyboard was attached. Third and fourth "Hi 10 Plus", luckily purchased on Amazon, died without any hint to why and could not be charged, so back to Amazon...
After that I discovered the Chuwi Forum and learned that this company 1. had many problems with their products and 2. THEY DIDN´T GIVE A SHIT...
Support never answered any specific questions and never provided any software updates...

[sumitsrivastava]

Chuwi hi9 plus or mipad 4 plus which one to be preferred??

[renatoalencar]

Hello there, Chris! I am looking for a tablet with a big screen and high pixel density. The Chuwi Hi13 was my number 1 choice, but looks like it's unavailable everywhere... Do you know if it's not sold anymore? And in that case, any alternatives?
