Looks(I can only upload 5 pics,so the main pic about the details can't put here)
Keywords:angular,round
The same 7'' tablet,the same light plastic shell,the similar classic white back cover and black front face,cube u9gt4 shares too much commons with ainol novo 7 crystal.The main difference I feel is the sense of touch.when I'm holding cube u9gt4,it touches sharp and angular,while ainol crystal is kind of round and smooth designed.I can't say which one has higher quality,but ainol crystal looks cheaper made than cube u9gt4 (BTW,I personally think it looks like rumored mini ipad pic).

Tech Specs
Keywords:low cost,high quality.
Within $100 tablets,cube u9gt4 and ainol crystal are without doubt the best choices as holiday gifts.
I don't know if this is the coincidence,but it is coincident.Two tablets come with so similar tech specs,cube runs a RK3066 1.6GHz cortex-A9 dual core CPU,ainol crystal chooses an Amlogic 8726-M6 1.5GHz Cortex-A9 dual core,they both pack a 7'' 1024*600 capacitive screen IPS display,which looks great from all angles.Meanwhile,they have no rear cameras,cube u9gt4 has only one front face 2.0 Megapixels camera,ainol crystal,0.3 Megapixels.Both tablets are also the outstanding representatives of android 4.1 tablets in entry level tablet market.
However;there are not only good things in common but also bad things.Cube u9gt4 has no bluetooth(so does ainol crystal),which is like google nexus forgeting TF card slot.A lot of inconvenience will come to us when we use the tablet.

Tests
Keywords:Benchmarks,WIFI Analyzer;

From the tests,we can easily see that Cube U9GT4 receive stronger wifi signal than Ainol Crystal,though just a little bit.It also gets more scroes from benchmark test.I planed to do a speedtest for two tablets,however;the app can not be compatible in ainol crystal,it's hard to compare two tablets with two different apps,so I quit.

We just finished reviewing both tablets today.

They seem pretty similar to us, although the novo7 crystal is the better tablet in our opinion as the cube has no HDMI output, no Charger jack (so u have to charge with USB), no OTG cable or earphones in the package and a worse camera (0.3mp).

Thats strange, our batch didn't have the HDMI, in the settings menu or an external port for a cable?? Are you sure its a U9GT4? The little 7inch Cube?

I didn't know that you couldn't charge them via the computer thats interesting, but there is no DC Jack so my point was that you would have to charge through a USB cable into a DC plug adapter (like iphones etc), meaning when you're charging the tablet you couldn't have a dongle plugged in at the same time so no internet when on charge :( , which could be annoying.
