[Android General] Hendrickson:
I've just ordered this Teclast P98 refresh, Not to be confused with the older T98 or the P98 with the A80T Allwinner CPU, this has the newer MTK8752 a 1.7Ghz octa core 64bit CPU, 2GB of ram and a Mali T760. It should be quite the beast I think. And it also has dual band 2.4Ghz / 5Ghz wifi and 4G LTE. Looks interesting. I should have it on Monday and will post up my first impressions and unboxing and review later on. I ordered it from geekbuying.com, it's in stock and you have Paypal unlike Aliexpress. The build looks just like my X98 dual boot, same retina screen, frame and backing plate design.

Although it's a 64bit CPU, it's not shipping with Android 5.0 lolipop which supports 64bit which is a shame, I hope Teclast update it soon. But this tablet could definatly use so XDA love in the way of custom roms. Maybe even a lolipop build?

First impressions:

The build quality is good, exactly the same body as the Teclast X98 Air 3G. Tablet seems quick, the 3d power of the mali-T760 seems rather disappointing. seems it's the Mp2 version. So only two cores and not the 4 or 6 core version like on my Note 4. The camera when it takes a photo comes out blank! There is a OTA update to fix this but it is giving me an error.

Idle power usage is good, 6 hours and only loosing 1%, but now it's locking up. I might try and flash a rom from Teclast's page.

When the tablet goes into deep sleep it locks up and I have to use the reset button. It would seem the rom is very buggy.

Edit: After a factory hard reset my camera seems to be back now and working. But the deep sleep issue is still present.
