Unboxing
As mentioned in the introduction, I received not one, but two packages, because the company also included the keyboard dock.
The dock is comprise of a QWERTY keyboard with touchpad, the magnetic docking interface, and a foldable back to hold the tablet.
The tablet package comes with CHUWI HiPad LTE tablet itself, a power supply with USB-C cable, a multi-lingual user manual, a warranty card, product inspection report, and a pin to open the slot for the SIM card and/or microSD card.
That’s the bottom of the bottom with the dock interface.
We have the power and volume button on the top, as well as USB-C, 3.5mm audio jack, and microSD/SIM card slot on the left side.
The back of the tablet features the rear camera in one corner, as well as opening for the speakers.
The tablet fit nicely into the dock.
I have not use that much yet, but so far it feels fast, and the screen is clear and crisp.
That’s will be all for today. I’ll publish a detailed review with my experience using the tablet in a few weeks. I’d like to thank Chuwi for sending HiPad LTE for review, and if you are interested in purchasing the device, you can do so on Aliexpress for $159.99, or $183.99 with the keyboard dock.

Do you feel input lag? All MTK Helio X20/X23/X27 reviews I saw on youtube show some significant touch input lag. Does that apply to this model?
I don’t feel much lag, but I’ll make a video with YAMTT to demonstrate touch input.
Does the USB-C enables display (similar to MHL or any other method) ?
Having an HTMI output becomes unfortunately more and more rare nowadays, and I struggle to find a good and reasonably-priced tablet that would include LTE and HTMI to replace my broken nvidia Shield…
I’m connected MINIX NEO S2 USB hub/SSD to it, and while the SSD is recognized over the USB-C port, there’s no HDMI output.
