The Free young x5 is powered by an octa-core 1.5 GHz MediaTek MTK8783 processor & Mali-T720 GPU, with 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage

The x5 only has two ports one being the micro USB 2.0 port and the other is the 3.5mm audio jack. Sensors on the x5 are the g-sensor, light sensor,proximity sensor and GPS.

On unboxing the tablet i was surprissed to see there was no power addaptor,Just the USB Charging lead ,the x5 tablet and the instructions.

On the first boot the tablet was in chinese so i downloaded the English language pack uninstalled the chinese one.That seemed to work for most things but some things were still in chinese + there was no google play store installed (Tried lots of ways to side load it with out any luck)I then asked my the guys at cube if there was any new firmware and hip hip hooray we now have a fully English free young X5 with a working google play store (English Firmware below)

A quick look video Review



The Free young x5 has a metal shell in silver,The power button & volume up and down buttons are on the right hand side,Speaker and mic on the bottom,USB Charging port & 3.5mm head phone jack are on the top edge of the tablet.On the rear on the x5 is the 13MP camera and behind that via unclipping the plastic cover is the sim card slots and the SD card slot.

The battery is only a 3800 mAh of capacity giving the average user about 3 to 4 hours battery life watching video etc.

From 100% full charge,I watched a 2 hour youtube video over wifi that took me down to 59% battery,I then loaded up another 2 hour movie again over wifi and that gave me a low battery warning 15% after a hour and a half.I was able to fully watch the 2nd movie leaving me 9% of battery so overall im happy with the battery life on this tablet.

The device itself respond's quite fast also apps and game's load up in little to no time.Iv been playing ashphalt 8 today witch the x5 handels fine.When a sim card is inserted the device works just like a mobile phone (Ok you wont be putting this in your jeans pocket as its a little on the large side) Sorry i cant test the 4g network as mine runs on band 20 the 800mhz and the x5 dont have the band 20 capability.
