Updates / Extra Info:
Android 8.1 System Update Released On October 10!
It's a manual download and upgrade.
I will be downloading, testing it and making an updated video addon video talking about what's changed!
Have you tried upgrading the system yet?
@@angelcru7428 I have actually, it was easy and quick, but have not gotten the chance to test it out fully, it does look the same as before with some minor changes, but the benefit is a newer OS
I'm looking forward to your review of new function with the upgrade, especially hand-written note taking on other format apart from PDF such as mobi and pub
Hello, and thank you for your video. You managed to find the update to version 8, would you be so kind as to help me and tell me where I can find it? Thank you in advance for your help!
Sorry for the late and slow uploads, this video took a whole lot of work time and effort to make :|
But here are the planned videos now that Im back in the video making flow (hard to make vids after work)
- Maono AU-A04: Update Video ( I have ordered a new one to compare with and have some interesting findings)
- Maono AU-PM422 Review
- Vankyo V630W Review
These are videos I want to have done asap
So I'll try my best to get them out within the next week or so!
As I have many more interesting videos I have planned after these.
Glad, as always, too see another quality packed video uploaded, keep it up!
Thank you for all the detail review❤
Thanks a lot for the detailed review.
Great review from all aspects. And if long press the back button, will it refresh the display?
Wow a tablet i was waiting for, for 8 years! :-D
I know right?
And they just told me the Android 8.1 upgrade was out Oct 10!
I got the upgrade package, so I will be testing it out and making an addon update video.
@dandajzz have you bought it?
An amazing little tablet
(23:16) Yep, and the memory card slot is one big advantage Likebook has over Boox. I have a 64 GB memory card in my Mimas, loaded with not only technical books and documents, but also loads of comic PDFs, including offline downloads from reading apps that allow data to be stored onto the memory card (I think Kindle, Kobo, Play Books, and Tachiyomi at least support that).
Awesome review. Really it was helpful.
Does it support Google play books? That is the main reason I consider switching to and Android based e-reader.
Can you install the Scribd app and read the ebooks associated with your Scribd account?
Have you tried the Kobo app? Is it laggy like the Kindle app?
Can I capture video from screen and mic to draw and speak and make lessons?
This seems like everything I'm after and more. That it's got actual file manager and ability to copy/cut/paste. Awesome. I wish you were able to show what discord and reddit looked like. I hope it's still working well? (How long did it take for your Ares to die?) Hopefully this tablet lasts longer. Excited for their newest model!
Is it possible to organise the books into collections on the default app? 🤔 An sad to hear this is the previous model of the products, the next one P78 seems like it took away features and the newest one will have the crappier stylus.. but its still the best of the current offerings
I have ran discord before on my Likebook Mars video I believe, it works just not great lol, might as well use your phone, its going to be a bit better on the Ares. I belive you can group books, might be mistaken, I will check and let you know when I get the chance. When you mean die do you mean battery life? if so I cant remember but should be around a week and half to 2 weeks depending on your wifi and backlight usage.
The pen button has any function?
What about screen quality, its the main thing i care about. I saw a video saying the likebook muses has a better looking screen than the mars. How does the ares compare?
In what aspect does the muses have better quality, can you link the video?
Both the Mars & Ares have great screen quality with and without front light. (High Rez, Sharp, Clear)
good review
Is it have auto crop function on pdf reading mode? ,can it open large file .pdf(about2GB)? thank you
I will test that out and let you know when I get a chance
How can I add a dictionary to my Ares. Please reply .
Would you suggest this for newspaper reading? Specifically, a full print edition?
If you dont have a problem reading small text without zooming in then yes its something that you can do otherwise the P10 like you commented might be the one for you for its larger screen size : )
I have this and really is fine with me. But my stylus got broken js there any compatible stylus you can recommend
I have to look into alternatives, can't really tell you without testing a bunch of different ones
@@LifeKommando thanks I like the note taking feature of this device
Nice video, how's the build quality of the tablet?
Its got good build quality, it doesn't feel cheap but also its not too heavy (if you are looking for that premium weight feel)
Hi, I know it's been a year since this nice video was out. I just wonder if you can update the links to the file for the instruction (and possibly the flashing tool?) There seems to have no link alive online...Thank you in advance!!!
I can try to ask them to see if they got anything new.
But since this video has been released, this update should already be out and pushed to your tablet by now.
Along side a whole bunch of other ones.
Let me know what version you are on, it should tell you the date on it.
@@LifeKommandoThank you for your quick response 💜 I read many articles online but seems like it can only upgrade android 6 to android 8 manually. There's just no way to find the android tool for the upgrade,which makes it impossible 😭 I really appreciate your help
@@ETlandxoxo Np, I have sent them an email, will keep you posted
@@LifeKommando thank you very much 💜
@@ETlandxoxo
They have replied and I have updated the link.
Just a headsup it might wipe the tablet clean so make sure you backup anything you need saved.
Let me know how it goes, good luck!
any update on the maono microphone?
Yes I will have a 2 vids, one addressing the changes, the other is the review of the 422 model
Thanks for the review! Do you think it is still a good idea to buy the Likebook Mars? I don't really need the pen at all, so overpaying for it doesn't make sense for me. I did read about your problem with the bootup on Likebook Mars and based on reviews it looks like you are not the only one with this trouble, so I wonder if they fixed this issue in the latest Mars devices...
Honestly I think Ares model defiantly has worthwhile improvements, specially when it comes to the battery and speed, of course it all comes down to you, both do the same thing and the one thing I miss about the mars is the nice grip on the bezel :)
As for the fix on the mars I don't know but if you do end up facing the problem, let me know here if they don't get back to you, and I'll let them know.
@@LifeKommando Gotcha! Thanks for the reply!
One of the only ereaders that support a large SD CARD. Sad they discontinued it. :-(
I asked them about it, and they said they stopped because production parts are limited, prob because of covid.
They plan to continue making them when they can but their focus will be the P series of readers, will see where that goes.
@@LifeKommando I have the larger version the Likebook Alita but was thinking about getting one of these because of the size. . The SD Card is a must for me.
@@willieescaba9625 Yeah having the SD card makes life much easier
It's so nice that this works with epub! Do you think is the best kindle for notetaking and annotating documents with that free pen? Could you recommend other options?
They have a newer model that has a bigger screen but other than that, the Ares is pretty solid, I havnt tested any other tablets to tell you whats the best. Tho the Ares ticks off all the boxes
@@LifeKommando Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I was very excited about the Ares because it's affordable, the bad thing is that it's not waterproof and I read that it doesn't get along very well with sand or dust (i'm an archaeologist) plus a not so long-battery (just normal). However, what has discouraged me the most is that in some reviews people said that came with technical failures, of course just a low percentage of people but in my case that discourages me since in I live in Peru and I'm asking my brother to buy it because he's going on tourism for a few days to USA. The change process in case this will fail could be complicated from here. Anyway I still think Ares as a good candidate, although now I'm starting to search more ''expensive'' brands like Onyx. Sorry my English.
@@pedrosincasa No worries, understandable, in your case its a risky buy, and no your English is perfectly fine : )
Good luck on your search!
Can I read with this on the beach?
yes you can in direct sunlight thats what e-readers ate known for
@@LifeKommando I think the person asked about waterproof ability. Ares and Mars don't have it
@@black101velvet Yea that could be it
