Cube iWork8 Ultimate Dual OS tablet
The Cube iWork 8 Ultimate sports a white bezel encased by a white rear panel with silver edges. When held vertically, the device's 2-MP front camera sits at the top, above the 8-inch touch-capacitive screen. There is no branding or button on the front of the tablet. The slate's right edge hosts a power button and a volume switch, while the top edge plays host to a micro SD card slot, a micro USB input, a micro HDMI port, a headphone jack and a physical Home button. The iWork 8 Ultimate’s white plastic back panel has a faint texture for a good grip. The device's 2-MP rear camera and small speaker gate sit at the top of the back panel, while the model and some branded information are printed at the bottom.

The screen of the tablet while being just 1280 x 800 is actually great. It doesn’t feel like its an low resolution and the IPS panel has some really nice colors. It also comes with an screen protector already on it. The brightness of the screen is actually quite good too, for instance it is better as the Chuwi VI8. 

Windows 10 OS
The iWork 8 Ultimate is Cube’s first 8-inch tablet that ships with Windows 10 OS. If you are a fan of Microsoft's modern interface, you will be delighted. Some of Windows 10's features were built with diminutive tablets in mind, including smaller Live Tile sizes (to fit more on screen at once), access to the camera from the lock screen and more keyboard shortcuts. There is an abundance of apps from Microsoft and a wide range of third-party developers. And with the many new features (such as Cortana and Microsoft Edge) and functions (such as Windows store applications running in Windows under desktop mode) added to Windows 10, a Windows tablet is more useful and functional than ever. With 32GB of eMMC storage, the slate booted Windows 10 in just 13 seconds.

Real Life Benchmark & Tests

In Antutu Video Tester 3.0 Cube iWork8 Ultimate tablet scores 865 points, a fair score in this test ranking. It played smoothly almost all video file types; this firmware version fully supports 15 video & audio format files, it partially supports 8 video & audio format files and doesn't manage to play 7 files.

Wifi Internet speed tested gets also pretty good values: over 17 Mbps in download and the upload speed was over 21 Mbps. The router used in this test is Xiaomi Mi WiFi Router, mounted in another room. 

Conclusion
Cube iWork8 Ultimate tablet, but the Android OS seems to be a little bit unstable in current version and needs improvements. Google Play and gapps are working just fine. These issues should go away in the next firmware update.

The battery life wasn't too good also, but the overall features, hardware configuration and the price makes Cube iWork8 Ultimate a tablet to recommend.
