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.

While those are still clearly entry-level tablets, the new RK3562 processor is said to deliver 127% higher performance than similar tablets based on the previous generation Rockchip RK3328 processor according the the tablet’s Antutu score.
Both Rockchip RK3562-based Android 13 tablets are available now with the BMAX MaxPad I9 Plus going for $67.05 on Aliexpress, and the UMIDIGI G1 can be purchased on either Amazon or Aliexpress for and up.

(4GB RAM + 4GB Expansion) – it’s exactly 4gb of swap.
for example, Ulefone have a smartphone marketed as “17GB RAM” with some 5GB “virtual memory”
Behh… Reminds me the bad old times where disks were sold assuming a 2:1 compression ratio. Then later when Stacker arrived they started to assume 2.5:1 without changing any component. How pathetic this is…
Slow (new!) 4x A53, fake 8 GB RAM, looks like a real winner.
Two things that won’t make sense to me:
1) new designs using an A53
2) 1280×800 10″ displays Why? Do people like seeing the RGB subpixels?
Indeed. My old tablet from 2011 or so had 1920×1080. Yes that was 12 years ago. Over 100% more pixels.
Quad Core cortex a53 and android 13. Good luck.. hahaha
form factor (nm) ?
We need Armbian on this.
