Even though the sense was clear and consistent with the context, I prefer to correct myself for the sake of substantive precision:

A RK3188 is not an i7 - the former is 10 times slower, the latter drains your battery *30* times as fast.

ARM Cortex-A9 can be around 3 times as efficient as Intel Core i7.

I think they've been selling the "Canvas" as the N96CML for a few months. The specs look identical and you could order one over on Banggood.

This is so Onyx-like...
That's what Onyx did with Max2. It was thought that Onyx was going to release Max2 with dual core i.MX7 in 2016 but upgrade (who knows when) should be with quad core.

If, like people here have said, Onyx will release these devices 6 months from now, I maybe buy a Boyue that already has a quad-core processor in its guts.

I bought one Icarus/Boyue to try it: the Onyx firmware is more advanced in some areas. (The Icarus people were professional in replying to my mail of feature requests, but we are at the beginning of the process.)
The I/B device is mid-sized screen, the Onyx devices are big-sized screen.
The I/B device is Android 4.x, the Onyx will be Android 6. What will be better, it will have to be seen: is Android 6 more efficient or more bloated? I remember having found info that it is more battery optimized.

My experience with 5.0+ on phones has been mysterious battery drains when the device is sleeping, no matter how aggressive I am in disabling and/or uninstalling apps. I can't seem to find a particular app responsible for it.

With tablets I guess I don't notice drains during sleep, but I can't say I'm wildly impressed by the battery on LP, MM or N. I seem to recall better battery life on some (but not all) KK roms.

fgdas, you created multiple accounts?

Anyway, this provisional timeframe is encouraging: it's "We hope before the end of the year but probably at the beginning of 2018", not "[Somewhere] in 2018".

No, I'm not fgdas and was joking...

Anyway, I don't want to accuse especially Onyx, but we've suffered many delays from too many companies, haven't we?

Of course I've several accounts:
$£€¥, shares, bonds you name it.

Keynes is the last thing I care about.

If only we could find a way to make the Chinese work hard, right?

By the way: yes I do not like to hint it when I joke. May ruin the "clayface" effect.
