Recently got Chuwi Hi10 plus from Gearbest, a dual boot tablet (Windows 10 + Remix OS 2.0) with 10.8” display and 4GB RAM and 64GB of ROM. I have to admit that I was very impressed from the quality and the abilities of the tablet. At the end of the review, I have detailed video of 30 min with everything a future could ask or want to see live.
Package
The package came to me with SF Express, without any fear for customs and well protected from hits and falls. Inside we see there is a box of thick recycled paper, where is the tablet and everything else. The package came very quickly from China and with no surprises as I said. Opening the box, inside we see the tablet, the charger, a manual in Chinese.
