10.1
inch HD All Angle (180 degree) IPS Display, 1280 x 800 Pixel High
Resolution, 16,000,000 colors
Ainol NOVO 10 Hero
has 10.1 inch IPS screen at 1280 x 800 high resolution made by Samsung
– This resolution is higher than iPad2 and close to iPad 3.
The IPS screen supports all angle viewing – you can see the
picture and video clearly within the 180 degree viewing angle. IPS
screen also has much better black color than the normal high resolution
screen. You will be amazed the the clarity and true color of NOVO 10
Hero’s screen, particularly when playing games and watching
movies and sports.
The
latest Google Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system
Google has made
numerous improvements on its latest Android OS – Jelly Bean
4.1. Google used to play a catchup game with Apple iOS, but it becomes
almost as good as iOS starting from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. In
order to release its own tablet in this Summer, Google worked with
Taiwanese computer maker Asus very closely, fine tuned its OS in every
detail, and released this Android 4.1, so called Jelly Bean. Ainol NOVO
10 Hero is the second tablet released by Ainol with Android 4.1 ( the
first one is Ainol NOVO 7 Crystal), so Ainol has learned from its
Crystal experience, and fixed bugs that found in Crystal.
The
2nd Generation ARM Cortex A9 based 1.5 GHz Dual-Core CPU
The CPU of Ainol
NOVO 10 Hero is the latest 1.5GHz dual-core AMLogic 8726-MX (ARM
Cortex-A9 based) processor and Quad-Core Mali 400 GPU. AMLogic is
fabless design company located in Silicon Valley. Comparing with other
CPUs often seen in Chinese made tablets, AMLogic CPU is more stable and
has better compatibility on apps and games. AMLogic 8726-MX is based on
the latest ARM Cortex-A9, and it is made with 40nm process technology,
which is about 2X faster and consumes about 1/2 power than other CPUs
made by 65nm process technology. Although it is not quad-core as the
Apple iPad 3, but it is faster than the dual-core CPU used in Apple
iPad 2.
Support
Bluetooth 2.1
NOVO 10 Hero
supports bluetooth 2.1. Bluetooth offers huge flexibility when
connecting to a third party device. It not only allows you to connect
your tablet to bluetooth earphone for talking in Skype and enjoying
music wirelessly, but also allows you to type with a bluetooth
keyboard, or play game with a bluetooth controller.
Super
Capacity 8000 mAh Battery
Ainol NOVO 10 Hero
uses a a super large 8000 mAh battery, while most of the 7
inch tablets’ battery is about 3000 mAh, and most of the 9.7
inch tablets’ battery is about 5000 mAh. Battery is one of
the most important factors to consider when buying tablet. Most of the
Chinese tablet makers are trying to use less capacity battery to reduce
cost, while Ainol always selects the largest capacity battery for the
best user experience. With one full charge of this 8000 mAh battery,
you can listen to music for 12~15 hours, play video and 3D game 8
hours, and surf web for 8 hours. Keep in mind most of those performance
tests were measured when WiFi is off or screen is off, so the real
performance number will be slightly lower.
Dual-Cameras:
0.3MP HD Front Facing Webcam and 2.0MP HD Rear Facing Camera
Ainol NOVO 10 Hero
has both front facing and rear facing HD cameras. The front camera is
0.3MP, the back camera is 2MP. You can use them to shoot photo, record
video, and conduct teleconference. You can switch between front and
rear camera in apps. Skype is supported.
Official
Google Market (Google Play) Access
Ainol
NOVO 10 Hero supports Google Play. Google Play is pre-installed on NOVO
10 Hero – you can access and download more than 400,000 apps
directly from your tablet.
Full
HD 1080P Video
Ainol NOVO 10 Hero
supports Full HD 1080P and other HD formats. Once you connect it to
your HD TV via the HDMI cable (free gift from uPlay Tablet), it
automatically recognizes HD TV connection, and output video signal to
TV. It displays on both tablet and TV for all operations.
High
speed DDR 3 RAM 1.0 GB
Ainol NOVO 10 Hero
has 1GB DDR3 RAM (most tablets have 512MB memory). DDR 3 RAM is the
latest memory technology, and it’s 2X faster than DDR2 RAM.
Large memory allows numerous tasks and apps to be run at the same time
with no loss in speed or responsiveness. Furthermore this allows data
to be processed faster, meaning 3D games run better than ever!
High
Resolution 1280×800 5-Point Multi-touch Capacitive Screen
1280×800
pixel screen used on Ainol NOVO 10 Hero has higher pixel density than
1024×768 pixel screen commonly seen in those 9.7 inch tablets
and 1024×600 pixel screen in those 10.1 inch tablets. It
supports 5-Point Mult-touch plus ALPS touch buttons. 1280×800
pixel high resolution and 10.1 inch IPS 180 degree angle display enable
excellent performance for playing games and watching videos on Ainol
NOVO 10 Hero.
Super
High Speed WiFi and 3G
Ainol NOVO 10
Hero’s WiFi chip is made by Broadcom – the industry
leader on WiFi chips. It supports WiFi standard 802.1 b/g/n
with a maximum speed of 300M. The WiFi chip in most of the Chinese made
tablets are designed by either domestic fabless companies or design
companies in Taiwan. WiFi compatibility is one of the common issues
that we have seen (other than battery and charging). The
Broadcom WiFi chip has better compatibility. NOVO 10 Hero also support
external 3G dongles (see supported 3G dongle list at the end for more
details).
The
Most Sensitive Gravity Sensor on the Market
NOVO 10 Hero has 3
axis gravity sensor, super sensitive. The gravity sensor is a common
feature in pretty much every tablet. However, the sensitivity is
different. Ainol always picks the most sensitive gravity sensor for
their tablets.

For those who do
not know what IPS is, IPS stands for In-Plane Switching which was
developed by Hitachi back in 1996. An IPS display gives you a better
display, more vivid color, and a wider angle for viewing. See the
comparison below.
