Video Photo Gallery Leagoo Shark 1 smartphone First Impressions Quick Review
Leagoo Shark 1 - dangerous amazing device.
This fantastic smartphone comes in a plain black box. When you unbox it, you will find all you need inside: the smartphone, the fast charger, a micro USB cable, a user manual written in English and Chinese and even a set of premium in-ear headphones. Everything is neatly packed and fitted inside of the box – a premium packaging I can say.
Leagoo Shark 1 is made out of quality polycarbonate plastic and aluminum alloy on the side and back of the device. It looks excellent in every instance. Considering it has a 6-inch display, it is a lot smaller than models of competing companies. Dimensions of this phone are 158.6×82.8×8.5 mm. On the front side, above the display, we find the front camera, ambient light sensor, the speaker, and LED notification light. Below the screen there are no capacitive buttons, giving more to the display real estate. Onscreen buttons appear when you need them, and they are lit well.
On the top of the smartphone, there are 3.5mm headphone jack and IR port that you can use as a remote for TVs, home appliances, etc.On the back side of the phone, there are fingerprint sensor and 13MP camera with dual LED flash. In the center of the back, there is a Leagoo logo and, below the removable cover, there is a speaker grill. The power button, as well as volume up and down buttons, are placed on the right side of the phone. On the left side, there is a micro sim card slot. The bottom right side is where the micro USB port resides.

Video Photo Gallery Cube iWork 10 Flagship tablet First Impressions Quick Review
Cube iWork 10 Flagship tablet.
Cube iWork10 Flagship version is featured with Intel Atom-X5 Cherry Trail Z8300 quad core CPU, builds in 4G RAM and 64G ROM, with 10.1 Inch 1920*1200 pixels Full HD IPS screen, and installed with the latest Windows10 + Android 5.1 dual OS, support 4K video, HDMI, OTG, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc;
The device is probably one of the best-looking tablets that we have seen, regardless of the price range. It is made from a combination of poly-carbonate and some metal alloy. The combination of colors is also interesting – it is black on the front side, and blue on the back and around the tablet. iWork 10 looks and feels premium in every possible aspect. Considering its size and weight, it is a very thin device at just 8mm but don’t worry because it is quite sturdy and durable. The front of the device houses large screen with several sensors coupled with front facing camera above it, and Windows home button bellow it.
There is power/lock button with volume buttons on the top of the device in the left corner, and it is easily reachable. The left side of the device houses all ports like micro USB for charging and transfer, HDMI, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB 3.0 and micro SD card slot. Speakers are located on the right side, and they are plenty loud.
Cube iWork 10 is equipped with 10.1-Inch capacitive IPS screen with up to 10-point multi-touch support. Resolution of the display is 1920×1200, and it is more than enough for its size. Some of the competition come with the double amount of pixel on their screens, but the difference is not that big, and battery life suffers because of that. We believe that Cube made the right decision opting for this resolution. Display of this device offers excellent viewing angles, true-to-life colors and it is very bright. Bezels on the side of the screen are pretty big, but we think that this is a terrific thing. You can grab the tablet by the bezels and don’t interfere with the screen while watching videos for instance.

These issue should go away in the next firmware update.
The battery life wasnt too good also, but the overall features, hardware configuration and the price makes Cube iWork 10 Flagship a tablet to recommend.
