1.5X faster than that of iPad Mini.
Samsung
Galaxy Note 10.1 features Mali400 GPU,iPad 2 features SGX543. We see
both Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and iPad 2 have worse GPU than Onda V812.
Feature
3: 8 inch 1024X768 pixel resolution 3rd generation IPS display
Left:non-IPS
screen. Right: IPSscreen
Onda
V812features a 8 inch 1024X768 pixel high definition resolution 3rd
generation IPS display, just like Apple iPad Mini.
Currently,
most 7 inch Tablet PCs even 9.7 inch Tablet PCs use 1024X768 non-IPS
screen. But Onda V812 features a much better one - a 8 inch 5-point
multi-touch capacitive 3rd generation IPS screen.
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 above.
IPS
(In-Plane Switching technology) panel is a technology used for liquid
crystal displays (LCDs). It was invented to solve the main limitations
of TN-matrices at the time: relatively slow response times, small
viewing angles and low-quality color reproduction. In-Plane Switching
involves arranging and switching the molecules of the liquid crystal
(LC) layer between the glass substrates essentially in a plane parallel
to these glass plates.
IPS
Advantages
- IPS panels
display consistent and accurate color from all viewing angles.
- Unlike TN LCDs,
IPS panels do not lighten or show tailing when touched. This is
important for touchscreen devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
- IPS panels can
process high speed signals without data loss by using copper wiring
with low resistance values.
- IPS Panels offer
clear images and stable response time.
Feature
4. 4K HDMI Video Output
The
advantages Onda and
Allwinner have in
video playback dates back to long ago.Now this time is also no
exception. Onda V812 has realized 4K video decoding and output
whose output resolution reaches 4096X2160 pixel - 4 times as the
current mainstream 1080P's 1920X1080 pixel resolution. Onda
V812 also supports blue 3D video playback and
pre-playback
of up to 12 channels,playback of up to 4 channels simultaneously.
This
is great.
4K(4096X2160)
was created by DCI which is composed of Disney,20th
Century Fox,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,Sony Music Entertainment,Universal
Music Group and Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc and so on.
4K
pixel resolution is next trend in film industry or projector industry.
4K pixel resolution is also the new standard resolution for Hollywood
films. It is different from our current so-called high definition
TV,namely 1080P's 1920X1080 pixel resolution. It is also different from
the 2K resolution used
in the traditional
Digital Cinema. 4K HDMI reaches 4096X2160 pixel
resolution,shows you super clean and super delicate image. Let's put it
this way: you see image of 2.07 million pixel on the high definition
TV,you see image of 2.21 million pixel in the traditina Digitall
Cinema,but you can see super high definition image of 885 milliion
pixel image in the 4K Cinema.
Onda
V812 doesn't disappoint you. Instead,it provides you awesome display on
big screen for video playing or gaming.
And
as far as Samsung disclosed,Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 only features
1080P HMDI output. So, Onda V812 is winner again in HDMI.
?
Feature 5. Brand
new design on look
Onda
V812 features a brand new design on look. It looks not only
just nice,most important,but also very stylish. Onda
V812 features unibody metal aluminum enclosure and G+G
capactive touch screen.
Onda
V812 has a seamless aluminum enclosure which is same perfect
as that of Apple iPad Mini.
The dimension of Onda V812 is 199.8
mm x 152.5 mm x 9.8 mm.
?
Two
colors for you to select from - Black and White. Just like what Apple
do to buyers.
Feature
6. 64bit dual channel memory + 2GB DDR3 RAM
Onda
V812 features 64 bit processor which targets faster data
transfer,faster launching and faster loading of big 3D games. In the
meantime,Onda V812 adopts the world advanced dual channel
memory of 2GB DDR3 which runs much faster than those single channel
memory controller does. Furthermore,this dual channel memory controller
features Nand Flash as well,which targets more than 45% faster read and
faster write. Therefore Onda V812
features
much faster read and write and further save much time in dealing with
big videos and games.
While
Apple iPad Mini
still has only 1GB memory,Onda V812 has applied 2GB DDR3
memory on Onda V812. Therefore Onda V812 is more capable in
multi-tasks.
The
64 bit dual channel memory of 2GB DDR3 RAM is the highway among the
powerful CPU and the powerful GPU. Without the highway,no matter how
powerful CPU and GPU are,the data couldn't be transited fast enough to
display the perfect image.
Feature
7. Dual Cameras
Apple
iPad Mini,the
latest generation of iPad,arms dual cameras - 0.3 million pixel front
facing camera and 5 million pixel rear facing camera;while Onda
V812 arms dual cameras as well - 1.2 million pixel front
facing camera and 5 million pixel rear facing camera. So we see Onda
V812 has a worse front facing camera. But how about the rear
facing camera? Onda V812 features the same rear facing camera
chip as iPhone 4 and iPad do,the world top camera chip from OV in US.
In the meantime,the rear facing camera of Onda V812 features
auto focus,2.8 aperture,continuous shooting 10 frames per
second,0-delay shutter,hybrid infrared filters,anti-shak engine,1080P
video record,Hawkview 2.0 and so on. All these features are found on
iPad Mini.
By
the way,Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 features a 1.3 million pixel front
facing camera and 5.0 million pixel rear facing camera.
So,we
see Onda V812 has the same powerful rear facing camera as iPad
Mini
does.
Feature 8.
Connectivity
Onda
V812 features the latest Miracast wireless connection
standard,including Wi-Fi display,Wi-Fi direct and so on.
?
Miracast is a
peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard created by the Wi-Fi
Alliance. Billed as an open alternative to Apple's AirPlay Mirroring,
it allows users to, for example, echo display from a phone made by
Company A onto a TV made by Company B, share a laptop screen with the
conference room projector in real-time, and watch live programs from a
home cable box on a tablet. Miracast connections are formed via Wi-Fi
Direct, which allows direct wi-fi connections in a similar manner to
bluetooth. Miracast only works over wi-fi. It cannot be used to stream
to an ethernet-connected device via a standard wi-fi network.
?
Miracast
is an industry-wide solution, so the technology works well across
devices, regardless of brand. Connections are easy to set up and use
since the devices choose the appropriate settings automatically.
Miracast supports premium content—like Blu-ray feature films,
live television shows and sports, or any other copy-protected premium
content.
?
On 29 October
2012, Google announced that Android version 4.2 (updated version of
Jelly Bean) will support the Miracast wireless display standard, and by
default will have integrated features for it. Don't
worry. Onda V812 is upgradable to Android 4.2.
As of December
13, 2012, the Nexus 4, Sony Xperia T and V officially support the
function. From now on,Onda V812 is in list.
Feature 9. Android
Android 4.2
- Everything in
Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens
and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
- Jelly Bean
