We’ve seen more then our share of cheap knockoff Android tablets but this one has fairly decent hardware.
Most likely this is similar to those knockoffs and actually doesn’t have any affiliation with Hyundai the car company.
What you do get though for a quick US$110 (€82) is a 7″ 480 x 800 resolution Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet.
The screen is capacitive touch and has 5-point multitouch.
Read on after the break for more details.
Now what exactly does your US$110 dollars get you?
The Hyundai A7 offers a 7" tablet that should run most games and apps quite decently with a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, just not from any brands we know.
It also comes with 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and room for more.
The Hyundai A7 has micro-HDMI out for gaming or watching movies on a big screen, and supports micro-SD for extra storage.
It might not be the prettiest tablet around but the screen is capacitive (as in not a cheap resistive screen you have to pounce on) and it runs the latest and greatest from Google.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The tablet has been available for a little over a month already but has recently landed in-stock again so was worth a quick shout out.
It looks like it might not feel like another cheap Chinese knock-off tablet, and for US$110 / €82 coming with a 1.5 GHz processor and Ice Cream Sandwich we believe it’s worth a quick look.
If you have one feel free to comment below, and if you pick one up we’d love to hear your thoughts.

True.. and not-so-true:
I bought a lot of devices in China over the years.
I have to say that the quality of those devices as well as the online shop reliability increase regularly.
It is much better now.
On the other hand, those devices that were developed for the local market don't go internationally very well.
My advice: when shopping, make sure that you see an indication that says 'for sales in international market' or that supports fully your non-Chinese language.
Otherwise, you may end up with a China-localized device that you could not care less for.
But be careful!
I recently bought a Dual-SIM Android smartphone that supports 100% English.
Great little piece of hardware.
The only problem is that the manual is only in Chinese!

Well, I bought one from China (Focalprice.com) and wish I had saved my money. It is a descent little tablet with good intensions but with very very poor implementation. Besides takes almost three months to get it (Jan 15 to April 9), when it arrived it had an old version of 4.0 and was totally in Chinese. Took the first full day to discover how to make it speak (display) English and it still displays half of the stuff on it in Chinese which not only can not be changed but can not be deleted because they are considered system installed apps. They can be forced closed but still set there on your desktop in unintelligent Chinese. Will never order another Chinese product from China regardless of how cheap they sell things, they will be well worth what is paid for them, maybe.

the problem with those budget tablets is that you read about them and you never see them in real.
So no way to buy them except if you're ready to get them online from astore in china. don't know but I'm afraid to go down that road...
