What owners say about the Chuwi HiPad 4G (3GB + 32GB)

Based on 37 owners sharing their experience in online comments

27%positive5%mixed68%negative

Owners appreciate the smooth performance and value, but touch problems and reliability failures overshadow the experience.

What owners dislike

  • Many owners report weak or laggy touch response, some from day one, even after an update; removing the factory screen protector helped some.9
  • Owners report lag in games like PUBG and Roblox, with Roblox crashing and sometimes rebooting the device, and chess shutting down when opened.8
  • Several owners say the tablet stopped turning on after a few months to three years, with a black screen, no charging, or failed storage.6
  • Owners say the sound is very poor, and one reports audio coming from only one of the rear slits, not stereo.3
  • Some owners say the keyboard won't pair, and a Spanish-layout one lacks a key at bottom left, making < and > hard to type.3
  • Owners say support does not reply for weeks, and returns or refunds are refused once the one-month return window has passed.3
