That because the Teclast X10 comes with a MediaTek SoC and not an Intel Atom chip, one that’s found its way into a load of budget tablets. Let’s take a look.
The X10 has a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 pixel screen, and is powered by the 1.4GHz octa-core MediaTek MT8392. While the MT8392 isn’t the newest or the most powerful SoC in town (it is, in fact the tablet equivalent of the MT6592), it still is a decent chip to fiddle with.

Having the MT8392 means that the on-board modem can be used to offer 3G capabilities, which the Teclast X10 does. Other specs of the X10 include 1GB RAM, 16GB on-board ROM, 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band WiFi, 2 mega-pixel front facing camera, 0.3 mega-pixel rear camera, 5800mAh battery, and a single SIM slot.
At $118, we feel the tablet could do with a gig or two of RAM. However, the X10 might be something on-the-go users might be interested in thanks to its 3G capabilities.
Interestingly, the makers of the X10 define the device as a ‘phablet.’ Not sure who the target market is, for them!
And a decent battery, they seem to have a real big problem to get there hands on decent batteries
Well this is a refreshing change amongst the sea of crappy cherry trail tablets we’ve been seeing. However, the thing that really stands out on this is the dual band wifi, that’s almost unheard of in Chinese tablets. Shame they only stuck 1GB Ram in this thing.
