Teclast , the popular Chinese tablet manufacturer, is back with the Teclast T8 . It is an Android device that attracts attention for its 2K screen and an excellent value for money . In addition to a high resolution panel, the Teclast Master T8 surprises us with a very complete hardware and a fingerprint sensor, among other interesting details. And the best thing is that it costs half, if we compare it with models with more “name” of the same category.

The weight of this Teclast tablet is 346 grams and has dimensions of 21.95 x 12.79 x 0.78 cm . The size is suitable for holding with one hand. Its slim unibody body developed from a CNC aluminum alloy , gives it an elegant champagne finish. The quality of the chassis is guaranteed with an oleophobic coating  that prevents grease from adhering to the surface. This oleophobic cover offers you special protection against fingerprints.

Controls and ports

Design features of the Teclast Master T8.

On the right side of the Teclast Master T8 you can see the typical controls for raising and lowering the volume, as well as the power button. The left margin has been left “clean”, while at the top, we have the USB-C input (with support for charging and data transmission) and the headphone jack. And finally, at the bottom, there are two stereo speakers that offer powerful sound , as well as a slot for micro-SD cards (up to 256GB).

As for wireless connectivity, the Teclast Master T8 uses dual-band WiFi (2.4G + 5G) and Bluetooth version 4.0.

Fingerprint reader

We are now going to look at the capacitive button that is on the front, at the bottom, and that if it is kept pressed it directs us to Home, and if we give it two touches it will help us to multitask. This same button incorporates a fingerprint reader , which without being anything to write home about, at least provides a plus of security to the tablet.

OGS display with WQXGA resolution

The screen of this Teclast T8 tablet holds some surprises for us, although not all of them pleasant. To begin with, say that you have to take your hat off to the Asian brand, for “daring” to mount an 8.4-inch touch panel with WQXGA resolution , which is equivalent to 2560 x 1600 pixels. With this image quality you can view your favorite content with incredible clarity. The fact that the panel incorporates OGS (One Glass Solution) technology , reduces the thickness of the screen. The “problem” with this screen is that the whites are not as pure as they should be. In practice they appear slightly “bluish”. What for the most “purists” can be a nuisance.

Very well equipped inside

This device comes very well equipped inside, with an MTK 8176 processor . This Hexa Core CPU is made up of two Cortex-A72 cores running at 2.1GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.7GHz. In the graphic section, the Teclast Master T8 has a Power VR GX6250 GPU with a frequency of 700 Mhz, which significantly improves performance when playing games, since it can run next-generation titles without problems.

All this accompanied by a 4 GB RAM memory , which provides a fluid gaming experience, and allows us to comfortably work with several applications at the same time. For storage we have 64 GB , which for most users is plenty to save all kinds of files. You can expand the capacity up to 256 GB, through a microSD card.

A gaming tablet

The hardware of this Teclast T8 tablet looks very good, especially when playing games.

In general, the hardware of this Teclast T8 looks very good, especially when playing games . The loading times in the games are quite fast and the gameplay more than satisfactory. The truth is that it is the ideal device for everyday tasks, such as browsing the Internet, checking e-mails, browsing your social networks, and watching movies and series on the most popular platforms.

Android 7.0 Nougat, for fast and easy operation

The presence of Android 7.0 Nougat as the operating system will make everything work smoothly and quickly. One of its most important achievements is having implemented the split screen mode , which gives us the opportunity to use two applications at the same time. So we can write an email, while we are playing a video on YouTube. There is practically no layer of customization, so this is a fairly pure Android.

Within the photographic section, comment that the rear camera of the Teclast Master T8 comes with an 8 MP lens , with a quality above what we usually find in similar tablets. What has surprised us is the front sensor that has a resolution of 13 megapixels , which will allow you to capture very cool selfies. In addition, with both cameras you can make videoconferences in 1080p.

Battery with fast charge somewhat short

On the other hand, the Teclast T8 integrates a 5400mAh battery with fast charging through a USB type C port, which will serve to shorten the charging time. The battery capacity seems a bit short for this tablet. In any case, it is difficult to exceed 6 hours of video playback.

This Teclast tablet integrates a 5400mAh battery with fast charging.

Within the mid-range of Teclast tablets , possibly the most complete model is the Teclast T20 . Along with a 10.1-inch panel manufactured by Sharp, the most notable is the presence of a MediaTek Helio X27 processor with 10 cores and a Mali T880MP4 GPU.
