HARDWARE TESTS

Storage and RAM Memory

We perform our usual memory tests and internal storage in the VOYO I8 Pro using the SD bench app. Internal storage can be expanded using the included microSD card reader. The results of internal storage are good compared to models in your sector.

  • Storage: Total 64GB / Free 49GB
  • RAM: Total 4 GB DDR3L / Free 3 GB
  • microSD: Speeds of 34 MB/s reading / 15 MB/s writing. Not compatible with NTFS or exFAT.
  • USB Type-C: Charge, USB drives and some peripherals. Not compatible with NTFS or exFAT.

Battery and temperature

The VOYO I8 Pro has a 5000 mAh battery, the autonomy is low even if we do not demand too much and if we use the brightness of the screen at half level. If we play demanding games, the battery goes down quickly, as is normal for a Helio X27 is manufactured in 20nm.

  • Battery recharge: Charging at 5V 2A, not fast charging, it can take up to about 5 hours.
  • Idle: Connected to the Wifi and without using it can last about 6 days.

We check the performance of the tablet in scenarios of maximum sustained performance and in its usual use, we use a stress app for fifteen minutes and thermal camera to detect hot areas.

  • Thermal throttle: The system maintains a maximum performance of 58%, have a considerable loss in performance when we demand it on an ongoing basis.
  • Temperature: The rear part is heated at one zone where the SoC is located.

WIFI and Bluetooth

The Wi-Fi connections in the VOYO I8 Pro tablet are Wi-Fi b/g/n Dual Band + BT 4.0 wireless adapter with which we connect to an ASUS RT-AC1200G+ Router, a mid-range device. We perform tests on the use of streaming using the iPerf measurement tool to see the maximum performance of each network adapter.

  • Wifi speed results: Correct speeds for this type of adapters.
  • Wifi Scope: At a distance of 5 meters with a wall we have a signal of 48 dBm, a basic result.
  • Bluetooth: Works correctly and connects without problems.
  • We recommend reading our Tutorial SAMBA on Android networks if we are going to use files from our network PC.

PERFORMANCE TEST

SOC

In the performance tests, the VOYO I8 Pro shows us good results thanks to the Mediatek Helio X27 SoC and the power of the Mali-T880 MP4 GPU that it integrates. If we compare the results we can see how it surpasses the inferior models of Mediatek, it is below its direct rival Qualcomm and far from the Kirin 960 that remains as the leader in its sector. We must also bear in mind that we are talking about another price range, this is a low cost productos in comparision.

  • You can read in our Comparative for the Mediatek Helio SoC with all the details of this processor.

Games and gamepads

The tablet VOYO I8 Pro with the Mediatek Helio X27 SoC integrates the powerful Mali-T880 MP4 GPU allows us to move 99% of Google Play titles without performance problems and good compatibility. We have done a long test with PUBG and we can say that it moves fine in medium settings but the tablet gets hot and drains the battery..

  • Compatibility: It is possible to play demanding titles such as PUBG with slight frame skips, the battery drains quickly.
  • Controls: Compatible with Bluetooth Gamepads.

VIDEO TEST

Test video files

In terms of multimedia playback, the VOYO I8 Pro behaves well using the Mediatek Helio X27 SoC (MT6797) which integrates a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU with video playback support up to 4K@30fps in the graphic section. As we see it has certain limitations in the VP9 4K format but it is not a problem to see any content at the correct level.

  • Compatibility: HEVC with good performance / VP9 correct with basic quality
  • You can read our Tutorial to install Addons in KODI in a simple way to get to watch the most popular streamings.

Streaming services

We pass the classic tests on streaming services to see how the most popular services work. In this model does not have certificates for these services. The VOYO I8 Pro model presents the classic configuration without certificates that limits us in quality in several streaming services, as it does not have notification bars, it also presents some classic problem of this type of configuration.

  • DRM: Google Widevine L3
  • Certification: No

Opinion

After passing the tests of our review on the VOYO I8 Pro tablet we can say that it is a classic product of this range, we have a powerful Mediatek Helio X27 SoC, an acceptable network performance with the Wifi b/g/n dual band adapter with internal antennas and as an extra it has a 4G-LTE modem that allows us to connect anywhere. At the level of finishes this tablet also stands out for its metal parts and very small dimensions to be 11.6″, the touch sensor also works normally.

The VOYO I8 Pro stands out for the size of its IPS 11.6″screen, but it is not the brightest or most crystalline we have ever seen and it suffers a lot outdoors. The cameras that accompany this tablet are a little above the low- models cost although it is not a critical point, as we see the battery life and thermal performance is not the strong point of this tablet, so it is not a good option for games or heavy apps.

This tablet stands out for its 11.6″ screen for domestic use, multimedia and browsing use but it is not recommended for games because of its thermal performance and short battery life in demanding scenarios. On the VOYO I8 Pro also note that it accepts a magnetic keyboard that we can acquire at the official Voyo store.

  • VOYO I8 Pro can be purchased in Aliexpress.com or in Banggood.com only for $159 (143€) including shipping.
