The Blue Devil 10 is an entertainment tablet product. It was launched in June 2011. It runs the Android 2.2 operating system and has an ARM architecture processor. Its performance is not very powerful. But the overall experience is still very complete. But it was much worse than Apple's iPad at the time. So what kind of product is the Blue Devils w10 tablet, and how is it flashed? Let’s take a look at it through a brief introduction.
Blue Devil 10 tablet evaluation experience
2011 was the year when the Android camp first got involved in tablet computers. At that time, the Android system was still There are big flaws, and tablet computers have always dominated the entire tablet market, led by the iPad. The exterior design of the Blue Devils 10 is not outstanding. The horizontal lines on its back and sides adopt a rounded arc-shaped transition, but the cutting edges adopt a square design. Therefore, if you look at the Blue Devil 10 product from the back, you will find that its back is convex. In order to take care of the overall performance and design, Blue Devil 10 does not include camera functions.
In terms of system and performance, the Blue Devils use a dual-core processor with ARM architecture, which is not very fast and supports multi-tasking. Not powerful either. In addition, the Android operating system still has a lot of shortcomings in system optimization capabilities and lag processing. When users use tablets for a period of time, lag problems will inevitably occur. In terms of storage, it is equipped with 512MB of running memory and 8GB of storage space, supports memory card expansion, and the capacity is sufficient. In terms of display, the 7-inch 800*480 pixel display screen supports single-touch. The screen display effect is not good enough, and the fineness and color reproduction are not as good as the iPad tablets at the time. In addition, single-touch screen technology showsMust be a bit outdated.
Flashing the Blue Devils 10
For Android devices, flashing is a common occurrence. So how should you flash the Blue Devils 10? In fact, it is very simple. First, we visit the official website of the Blue Devils company on the computer, download the driver firmware software from its official website, and then change aml_autoscript, factory_update_param.aml in the firmware folder , u-boot-512M-UartB.bin, uImage, uImage_recovery, update.zip, move or copy to the memory card for storage. And put the memory card into the card slot of the Blue Magic and let the Blue Magic read the memory card, but the tablet must be turned off before inserting the memory card. After inserting the memory card, press the reset button and then hold down the M button of the machine and plug in the power. When the system shows that the power is on, release the M button. At this time, we only need to wait patiently for about 15 seconds and the system will It will automatically enter the upgrade. After the upgrade is successful, restart, unplug the memory card, and delete the files in the memory card.
Blue Devils W10 review
After getting the machine for a simple trial, the editor found that W10 is indeed a qualitative leap forward compared to previous models. The RK2818 solution was used before Games such as Angry Birds and Asphalt City 5 can run smoothly on the W9. The better performance and Android 2.2 system also bring an unprecedented smooth operating experience, and can support FLASH without the need for plug-ins. , it is indeed quite powerful, although using The resistive screen is a bit regrettable, but it is understandable considering its price of 999 yuan. The editor uses the authoritative ANDROID testing software Quadrant Adavance Editon tested the W10, and the results lived up to expectations. The comprehensive test results of the W10 have surpassed Samsung's I9000 (Galaxy S). The packaging of the Blue Devils W10 is relatively simple, and the Angry Birds pattern on the packaging is very conspicuous. In fact, the W10 can handle Angry Birds without any pressure.
When you open the package, you can see the gorgeous blue padding, which not only protects the body but also looks beautiful.
In addition to the manual and warranty card, the Blue Devils W10 also comes with a remote control, OTG cable, USB cable and earplugs. The Blue Devils W10 is one of the few MIDs that supports infrared remote control and Bluetooth. Although it is generally of little use, combined with the HDMI output function of the W10, the W10 can be used as a high-definition player. There is no difference in appearance between the Blue Devils W10 and the previous W9. It uses the same mold, except that an infrared receiving window is added below, and the material of the front panel has been changed to become more delicate, and there is no material deformation of the previous W9. Question, although it doesn't give people a stunning feeling, it still seems relatively stable. The back of the Blue Devils W10 still uses a matte texture material, which has good anti-slip performance and is not easy to leave fingerprints.
The button interface layout of the Blue Devils W10 is consistent with that of the W9. The buttons are distributed on the top of the fuselage, and both provide HDMI interfaces. In order to reduce the thickness of the fuselage, a micro USB data port is still used. However, some minor problems from the past still exist. The reset button and microphone are designed in a unified manner, but the entrance is too narrow, and the ballpoint pen tip that has been tried and tested cannot be pressed. In addition, the TF card slot cover of the fuselage is still loose.
After a simple trial, the editor found that compared to the previous domestic MID, the performance of Yinyuehui W10 has indeed made a qualitative leap , ARMCortex-A9 processor, paired with Mali-400 graphics core, and 512MDDR2 memory, allow W10 to run large-scale 3D games that MID could not run in the past. The system interface and the smoothness of online video operations have made a qualitative leap, and there is no need to play games anymore. In the past, facing a group of attractive large-scale software applications, I could only stare blankly.
Due to time constraints, the editor did not try out various features of W10 one by one. In a short period of one afternoon, W10 passed through the hands of many editors in the editorial department, and the sounds of birds chirping and pigs roaring were endless. Not only is Angry Birds, which was previously a thorn in the side of domestic MIDs, perfect, but even large-scale 3D games such as Asphalt City 5 and Anti-Gravity Racing are very smooth. However, it is still kept at a low price of 999 yuan, which is really commendable.
Evaluation summary: As the first officially launched Cortex A9 core MID in China, the Blue Devils Yinyuehui W10 reached the sensitive price of 999 yuan as soon as it was launched, but its performance has reached the level of current mid-to-high-end Android phones. The system also surpasses the current mainstream MID Android 2.1 version, which will definitely have a huge impact on the domestic MID market. At present, the domestic MID market is in a stage of rapid development, and major solution providers are also frequently making moves. It can be said that the Yinyuehui W10 has reached the hardware level of mid-to-high-end smartphones, but the price is less than a thousand yuan. And the 7-inch large screen Whether you are watching videos, browsing the web, or reading electronic magazines and comics, it is unmatched by mobile phones. I will conduct a detailed and detailed trial evaluation of W10 later.
Through the above steps, we can complete the upgrade of the Blue Devils w10 tablet. Generally speaking, it is very simple, but for an immature product like the Blue Devils 10, generally we are not as good as Buy a new tablet.
