I am afraid the device (Icarus/Boyue) is somehow promising but... I am about to write a ten points or so letter to Dutch part, I hope they will send me a feedback very soon.
Just something to mention, since this is the thread about CPU capabilities:
the device can often be unresponsive.
The system often seems to demand more than 2.5 "cores" of work (CPU load). So I suppose you have, say, on median case, 1.2 of idle available. With 70% already eaten by the system... Well, you have the remaining core and a bit more.
And anyway, you simply often touch screen buttons with the responsiveness that you expect, well, from paper. That which comes from wood, not that which comes from silicon and mates.
That the CPU is faster, you can see e.g. from the speed with which Librera renders the coverpages for the document browsing views - there you see a 5x speed if compared to the "almost legacy" Onyx devices. Otherwise, the experience is generally comparable to what we are used to (and oftentimes much worse, but this would bring us off-topic).
People who criticize Onyx for their firmwares do not really know anything about the effort and undertaking to make things work well. The average Onyx devices are continuously in debt for processing power, yet they are "magically" responsive, mostly without surprises - given that you already know they are not based on cheetas.
