The left button is the home button and the right button is the power button.
OK, then next are the user’s interface of Onda V972.

The desktop, high resolution retina screen reveal every detail of the background image. True color display makes the background looks live.

Facebook also runs OK on V972.

Website browsing, easy to handle the complicated webpages.
As a quad core tablet, its screen resolution increased to 2048* 1536, the ppi has 4 times increasing and up to 264, it’s absolutely the highest equipped quad core tablets at present. So users who like games will have an extremely wonderful joy in playing games and also to the movies funs.
Coming next, let’s see how wonderful this quad core tablet can bring to us.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator, many Android fans must know this game. At the first time since it’s released, there are only several Android based devices can run it without delay and halt. This game had been called as hardware killer. As we try to play this game on V972, it react very quickly, every shooting and every scrolling of the character execute smoothly and naturally. You can enjoy your shooting and killing by this tablet.



Riptide GP, another racing game used to test V972′s gyro sensor, during playing, the rolling of the motorboat and the accelerating of it is some sort of joy. Especially the splash when the boat landed in the water from the air is very distinctly.
These two games need high configuration tablets to run especially the first one. Onda V972 can smoothly run these two games, so you have no need to worry about big games. They are no big matter to V972.
After the game test, now let’s see the benchmark test score.

AnTuTu test score break 11000, the highest single test score is the 3D graphics, in the high resolution of 1536*1962, the 3D graphics score still can last 3200+, it’s very difficult for a retina screen tablet.

Vellamo HTML5 test result is not bad.

NenaMark2 test, 41.5 FPS, not the best, because the 3D rendering resolution has been escalated to 1962*1536, so it lower down the FPS rate.

CPU+GPU stability test. After 30 minutes running at full load, both GPU and CPU has no errors occurred. Onda V972′s stability is very good.


These two pictures are the GLbench Egypt HD test screen shot, notice the reflection on the floor and luster on the cobra, the Open-GL features has been revealed completely and vivid.
Onda V972, a quad core tablet has a RAM of 2GB, and 9.7 inch IPS retina screen and its resolution is 2048*1536. During the test, the most outstanding features of V972 is its graphics processing ability. It’s the winner of 3D graphics among the quad core tablets. You will have a total differently visual experience with V972. Via its powerful GPU and retina technology screen, user’s will enter a new level of using tablet. They will be deeply impressed by its high performance and ergonomic design for comfortable using.
We believe V972 is the priority choice for most of the tablet maniacs.

@Mcbub,

Could you speak to the Onda for us the customers? We have found out that there is a power management chip inside the tablet that hasn't been enabled yet. Also, when the tablet idles, it idles at 1ghz. This explains the reduced battery life everyone is seeing. This is even while on the latest firmware v1.2. Not sure why they didn't fix this prior to release but oh well. Just wanted o pass on this knowledge so in hope something could be done about it. Thanks in advance. PS: And if they can make the next firmware already rooted, it would be great.
