Many people mixed Ainol NOVO 7 Flame with Ainol NOVO 7 Fire . Some have bought NOVO 7 Fire from some online stores in China, and they thought that’s NOVO 7 Flame. Actually Ainol NOVO 7 Fire is the Chinese version for Chinese domestic market, not only the language is set in Chinese, it also comes with many Chinese apps. The English edition is called Ainol NOVO 7 Flame. Many people who bought Ainol NOVO 7 Fire have seen problems with touch screen. This is not unusual, because Ainol always picks the top quality tablets from their QA test for oversea market, while the ones selling in the Chinese market has lower qualities, therefore, slightly lower price as well. That’s why you can get Ainol NOVO 7 Fire with lower price than Ainol NOVO 7 Flame, because the factory price for those two models are different. This is a common practice in Semiconductor Industry: just like Intel sells the same chip with two different prices – the ones with higher QA score are marketed with higher frequency for higher price, while the one with lower QA scores are marketed with lower frequency for lower price.
We recommend customers to buy Ainol NOVO 7 Flame from Ainol’s official distributors in your region. Returning your tablet to China from US and other countries would cost you at least $40, and the chance that your unit will have problem is higher when you buy the Ainol NOVO 7 Fire (Chinese version). In addition, a HDMI cable will be included in the English Edition as free gift.

For example, the expandable memory, HDMI port to output HD video to your big screen TV, 5MP rear facing camera, and metal case .
