Wow. The Archos 80 Platinum — which is based on the Onda V812 tablet — isn’t even available yet and it’s already been made obsolete!
Onda announced an iPad Mini-style V818 tablet that contains the same screen and guts as the V812 but is lighter, thinner, and better-looking. [Update: It actually uses an A31s CPU, not the A31 of the V812.]
I’ve stripmined the Weibo site (and dipped into the OndaBBS site) that documeneted the V818’s introduction and here are the images, which includes the first real photos of it:
The two slides that matter the most compares the V818 to the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the iPad Mini:
Notice that the storage capacity and price are a question mark for the V818. Then BAM:
I don’t know what Onda’s reputation for quality is in China, but if it’s good, that tablet is going to sell like mad at that price with those specs.
Sizes:
Onda V818: 7.9″ x 5.5″ x 0.3″
iPad Mini: 7.87″ x 5.3″ x 0.28″

The CPU is not that good otherwise it’s ok. Wonder why there are no benchmark comparisons.
It’s the same CPU as in the V812 and has very good benchmarks in several YouTube videos. See the long video review here, for example: https://mikecanex.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/video-review-of-the-onda-v812-tablet/
Actually it is not. The CPU in V812 is “A31” from Allwinner, while the V818 mini will use the “A31s”
Yes. That’s a detail that came later. Do you know how the 31s specifically differs?
