Be careful when dealing with Champion Asia Digital Technology Limited Posted: 06 Nov 2011 10:50 PM PST I’m currently looking to expand into the online retail sector, and looking at suppliers of quality tablets, smart phones, PCs and laptops. If you are interested, take a look at: No Nonsense Computers In this case, I was looking for a high-end 7 inch Android tablet, and thought I’d found the right one. It had good specifications, and the manufacturer (Champion Asia) seemed to have a good reputation. FYI, the tablet was 7″, 1024 x 600 resolution, a dual-core 1Ghz A9 CPU, 8Gb storage, built-in 3G / phone, 4000 mAh battery, WiFi, 3.2 Mpixel camera (rear), 2.0Mpixel camera front, so I should also get 4 – 5 hours of life from the battery. So, just to be sure, I order a sample (its quite expensive, so its best to check things out first, before sending goods to customers). Well, I was very dissappointed. Why Well here is a list of minor and major problems and annoying features: Once the tablet starts, everything is in Chinese (since I know my way around android, I was able to switch to “Australian”). The microphone would sometimes stop working (needing a reboot to fix, until it stops again). Battery life was awful (30 minutes). After decreasing the brightness and disabling the 3G phone/SIM card, I could get 1 to 2 hours. A corner of the display becomes unstuck (lifts slightly). By pushing it down it re-sticks for a few hours, before it pops up again. I decide to dismantle the unit, to see if I could re-stick the display (cannot be fixed, as it seems the frame is slightly distorted), but then I notice that the battery says 3850mAh!!! Thats not the 4000 mAh they are advertising! The front and back cameras are badly out of focus… the resolution is correct, but everything from distant objects, down to 1 meter away are blurry and worse than a 1.0Mpixel camera. Refund is only offered if I could “please trust them” and buy another unit, and that unit is also faulty. Yes, I know what most of you are thinking: if you are going to buy goods directly from a Chinese manufacturer, there can be great risks. In this case, the biggest problem was the cost of a faulty unit. Next time, I’ll be looking at the lower end of the market, so I can afford to get a few bad samples. Yet what I find most surprising, is that I would expect a manufacturer to make an extra effort to provide a good sample, even if the standard production quality is low. Anyway, Champion Asia have lost me as a customer, and I hope other potential customers think carefully before committing to this company.
