All Things 3D | Introducing the ‘Gaming Lens’ mount attached to a surprisingly affordable 8.4” Android Gaming Tablet @allthings3d | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Sony just made available the ‘Portal’ for preorder in Japan with great success. However, before you preorder your own, what if I told you there was an 8.4” IPS 1920x1200 display, Android 13 tablet with a MediaTek Helio G99 SOC, 8GB RAM, 256GB UFS storage, 13MP Rear/5MP Front cameras, WiFi5, BT5 AND 4G LTE ! All this in a package that resembles an @Apple iPad Mini 6 at 1/3 the $$$ ?
Meet the Alldocube ‘s iPlay50, here attached to a Sony DualShock 4 using the ‘Gaming Lens’ mount going through a number of game streaming services like Microsoft Xbox Game Pass , Nvidia Now , Valve’s Steam Link , open-source streaming app Moonlight all via WiFi or 4G (YES GoogleFi works great!), but more importantly with its 8GB RAM and fast storage, it also plays every AAA Android game I threw at it like ‘Alien Isolation’ , Doom 3 , Half-Life 2 (and Portal 1 & 2) and even Epic’s Fortnite. This is also due to it being GooglePlay certified, which sadly many low-cost Android tablets are not.
Why is this exciting to me? I have been looking for an 8”-9” tablet to use with the ‘Gaming Lens’ mount, but other than 1280x800 8” tablets, the only other solution is the iPad Mini 6th generation, which will set you back $500 and that is for 64GB storage, and less the ideal 4:3 screen for gaming. However, it did great for anything I threw at it, including Playstation remote play, but still $500! Also the fact you can’t run Game Pass or Nvidia Now through an app (just through Safari) and definitely NO Fortnite. So again, what a surprise to find a low cost Android tablet that does about everything the iPad mini does, with a more open Android OS, and did I mention 4G? If that isn’t enough, how about 18W fast charging via a #USBC port (only USB2 speed though) and the ability to plug a Dualshock 4, DualSense or an @XBOX controller directly for the fastest, low latency connection.
However, none of these tablets would even be in the game for an excellent Android gaming platform if it weren’t for the ‘Gaming Lens’ mount which is very close to production, hopefully in time for the holiday season, preordering available soon.
Oh, hang in there for the end of the video :) BOO!
Happy Halloween!
