Chuwi VX1 is an Interesting 7 inch Tablet With 3G and Mediatek CPU

We kind of have all the tablet formats figured out by now, with the typical 7.9 inch iPad Mini clones, the widescreen 10 inch slates and the 8 inch inbetweeners. However, there’s the occasional device that strays from the format, like this model called Chuwi VX1, coming straight out of China.
This is a 7 inch 3G tablet with a quad core MediaTek MT8382 processor. This model reminds me of an Oppo phone, only larger and it seems to adopt an ultraslim case that may or may not feature a metal plate. The device packs 3 capacitive buttons that seem more suited for a phone rather than a tablet.
Since it resembles a phone and it has 3G, I’m guessing it also makes phone calls. There’s an 8 megapixel camera at the back with flash and some version of Android Jelly Bean on board, with a custom UI on top. The price range of the device should be in the range of $200-$300 or so according to the source.
