Rockchip RK3562-powered Android 13 tablets are starting to show up

Back in March, Rockchip showcased some tablets powered by the new 2.0 GHz Rockchip RK3562 quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, and now commercial Android 13 tablets based on the SoC are starting to show up with models such as BMAX MaxPad I9 PLUS and UMIDIGI G1.

Both tablets have pretty much the same specifications with a 10.1-inch IPS display with 1280×800 resolution, 8GB RAM, 64GB eMMC flash, front-facing and rear cameras, and a few ports such as USB-C and an audio jack.

For reference, I’ll just go through BMAX MaxPad i9 PLUS tablet specifications:

- VPU – 4Kp30 video decoding, 1080p60 video encoding
Memory – 8GB RAM (4GB RAM + 4GB Expansion) – CNXSoft: I’m not sure what that means, hopefully, it’s not 4GB physical RAM and 4GB swap…
Storage – 64GB eMMC flash and microSD card socket
