HiSense Sero 8 Pro Review: iPad-Like Design, Tesco Hudl Pricing

Latest Govt. Jobs 17:23:00 Reviews Edit


HiSense might not be all that well known in this part of the world, but in Australia and parts of Asia it's an up-and-coming maker of smartphones and tablets. The Sero 8 Pro is its latest offering and seeks to combine entry-level pricing with decent specs and design. 
It also looks a lot like an iPad, which will no doubt help shift a few units for those who admire Apple's work. However, at just £99 it's a lot cheaper than the iPad - and most other Android slates, for that matter. What corners have been cut to reach that price, and is this pretender worth bothering with? We're about to find out.

HiSense Sero 8 Pro review: Design & Display

The Sero 8 Pro is a lovely looking piece of kit, despite the £99 price tag. The casing is made entirely from metal and this gives the device a weighty presence. The model we reviewed was blue, but the Sero 8 Pro comes in other colours as well. 
All of the inputs and ports are located on the top edge of the tablet. You'll find a power button, 3.5mm headphone socket, Micro-USB port and MicroSD card slot. There's no volume rocker anywhere on the device; instead, you'll have to use on-screen controls - an odd choice, to be sure.
The Sero 8 Pro's 8-inch screen is arguably its crowning glory. The IPS panel has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and an aspect ratio which is close to that of the iPad. It's pitched as a "Retina" screen, and to be fair, it's a close match to the display on Apple's tablet. Detail is fantastic, as is colour replication and contrast. This is one of the best tablet screens we've seen in ages, and to find it on a device which costs less than £100 is nothing short of amazing.

HiSense Sero 8 Pro review: Software & User Experience

The screen may be astonishing, but elsewhere the Sero 8 Pro is less impressive. It's running Android 4.4.4, which places it behind the curve when it comes to software updates. The ARM Rockchip chipset inside this low-cost challenger is quad-core and clocked at 1.6GHz, but is only accompanied by 2GB of RAM. Pushing all of those pixels is clearly too much for this tech, and as a result you'll encounter bottlenecks when there are loads of processes happening in tandem. Switching between applications is also sluggish. It's not a deal breaker - for the most part, the Sero 8 Pro is perfectly useable - but it's far from the smooth experience you'd see on other, more expensive offerings.
HiSense has wisely kept UI customization to a minimum here, with the interface looking very much like stock Android. There are some minor changes - there's no app drawer, for example, and all of your apps are on the home screen, just like they would be on an iPad. Viewster's on-demand movie player is also pre-installed and supplies some pretty terrible content. Removing the Viewster widget - as well as the HiSense social widget, which piggy-backs off Instagram - is one of the first tasks you'll want to undertake when you liberate the tablet from its packaging.

HiSense Sero 8 Pro review: Memory & Camera

There's 16GB of memory inside the Sero 8 Pro, but you only have access to just under 11GB of that total. The inclusion of a MicroSD card slot means you can add to this amount if needed, up to a limit of 32GB.
The 8 megapixel camera is a total write-off, supplying terrible photos. Definition is disappointing and images are fuzzy and have an unwelcome blue-ish tint on them. Few people legitimately use their tablets for photography so it's not a massive issue. The 2 megapixel front-facing snapper is good enough for Skype calls and the like, but little else.

HiSense Sero 8 Pro review: Conclusion

Any tablet which costs less than £100 has to come with some drawbacks, and that's especially true of the Sero 8 Pro. The amazing screen is the high point, and the build quality is also above-average. However, the processor struggles to keep pace with the rest of the package, the camera is a waste of time and the software is outdated. Still, for £99 it's hard to grumble – especially when the display is this good.
