MX dual-core 9.7'' IPS Gemei G9T Android 4.0 tablet PC review

We got the Gemei G9T for couple of days now.We played with it for some days,generally speaking,it is a overall a very good tablet.But it also has some shortcoming.i.e,the power indicator is not 100% accurate;after a long time usage,the left part of it is a little bit hot.However,these do not have effect on our normally usage.

The apperance:

There is no buttons in front Gemei G9T except a 0.3MP webcam.

Gemei G9T uses metal shell.The advantage of it is to make sure its weight lighter and at the same time strong and durable,what's more,metal shell can have better heat output.

The back of it has another 2.0MP camera,which can be used for taking pictures,recording videos etc.And next to the camera is the stereo speakers.

Above is the volume control and back buttons.

Description of expansion ports and reset port on the back.

The expansion ports in the side of Gemei G9T.

In the angle,we can see clearer of the ports.There is hdmi,otg,micro-sd,host,microphone ports.

Gemei G9T is a ultra-thin design tablet with 10mm thickness only.

Tested with the electronic scale,it is 618g.This weight is acceptable as insider's battery is 8000mAh.

Interface:

The start-up screen.The time to start is about 25 seconds.

You can set up a live wallpaper in the home screen.

The operation system version of Gemei G9T is Google Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Display Performance Test:

The screen under pure white and black color.There is no bad points.There is some light leakage under black screen.But it's a kind of feature for IPS screen.

Gemei G9T has good color performance and can show detail of each colors.

Original IPS touch screen can have very good peformance under differnet angles.

Others:

With Amlogic MX Cortex-A9 dual core CPU and MAli-400 GPU,Gemei G9T can run most of the big 2D/3D games very smoothly!

Outdoor picture taken by front camera.

Outdoor picture taken by back camera.

Quadrant test score:3911.And the CPU score is up to 8529.

NenaMark1 tests result: 49.6fps.

NenaMark2 tests result: 30.1fps.

Gemei G9T has 8000mAh li-battery insider,after our tests,it can have up to 9 hours battery life.That would be great for most of our usage.

In-app Subscriptions in Google Play

[This post is by Ibrahim Elbouchikhi, Product Manager on the Google Play team. —Dirk Dougherty]

We launched In-app Billing on Google Play a year ago to give developers more ways to sell and engage users over the lifetime of their apps. Since the launch, In-app Billing has been extremely successful in helping developers monetize their apps through try-and-buy, virtual goods, upgrades, and other popular business models. Today, 23 of the 24 top-grossing apps in Google Play use In-app Billing, and the total revenue generated from in-app purchases exceeds revenue from traditional app purchases.

We’re now taking In-app Billing further by adding another important business model — subscriptions. Starting today, developers can use In-app Billing to sell monthly or annual subscriptions from inside of their apps. All subscriptions are auto-renewing, for every app and game and every type of subscription product. Developers just set the price and billing interval and Google Play manages the purchase transactions for them, just as it does for other in-app products and app purchases.

For users, Google Play provides a familiar and convenient purchase experience, highlighting subscription details such as price and billing interval before continuing with purchases. After the transaction, Google Play manages recurring billing and keeps users informed of new charges, sending them an email with each renewal. At any time, users can visit My Apps in the Play Store app to view their subscriptions and cancel any subscription as needed.

While making it easy for developers to offer a great purchasing experience, our subscriptions are also designed for flexibility. Developers can use them to monetize premium dynamic content such as journals and magazines, but they can also use them to sell access to bundled products, game levels, music and video content, value-added services, or any other digital content.

Building on Google Play’s strength as a truly cloud-connected experience, developers can offer users the ability to carry their subscriptions across multiple properties, services, or campaigns. To make this easier, we’re introducing an HTTP-based publisher API through which enterprise-scale backend servers can validate or cancel subscriptions. Using this API, for example, developers can extend access from their Android apps to their web properties, based on subscriptions that are purchased on Google Play.

In the coming days, several developers will be launching apps with Google Play subscriptions and we expect many more to follow. Glu Mobile is launching updated versions of its top Android titles, including Frontline Commando, offering subscriptions through custom VIP currency packages. "We're using Google Play subscriptions to offer consumers a compelling value and a single currency which they can use across Glu’s most popular titles” says Niccolo de Masi, CEO of Glu. “We're excited to bring these capabilities to our Android users and we believe that Google Play subscriptions will fuel further growth in our business."

If you’re a developer, you can get started with subscriptions right away by reading the In-app Billing documentation and downloading the updated sample app. If you are already using in-app billing, you’ll find that adding support for subscriptions is straightforward and involves only minor changes to your code.

You can publish your updated apps and subscription products as soon as you are ready. We’ve already rolled out client support to most Android devices worldwide, so any user with Google Play 3.5 or higher installed can buy subscriptions starting today.

We’re looking forward to seeing how you use subscriptions in your apps!
