It incorporates the Qualcomm 6125 processor, chosen for its reliability and performance in professional parameters.
Below is the rest of our review.
Our experience running this machine was jarring, to say the least.
There are a handful of pre-installed apps, no app store (no even a Chinese one).
There is only one version, and its black.
You could install ChromeOS Flex on it to have the same capabilities but a much better experience.
Therefore, this hardware is not realistically priced.
Even using phone technology, this machine might have been quite useful.
When it first launched, we assumed something was wrong.
Because it had so few icons on the desktop, and the interface contained none of the usual suspects.
The number of apps that ran well was limited, and a few refused to install or run correctly.
That is, in a nutshell, the Azulle Ally.
And the same can be said for the LTE modem and plenty of other functionality.
It is not mentioned in any of the documentation, nor is a remote provided.
The test selection has also been altered as lots of apps didnt work correctly or wouldnt install.
What did work was 3DMark and PCMark, but we had no success with GeekBench or GFX.
Geekbench wouldnt install, and GFX would run out of memory on each test.
Triple that of this unit.
Which begs the obvious question of why you might put it in a gadget with no battery?
Whatever the answer might be, it wasnt to go quickly.
That makes it significantly less useful unless you are an Android expert.
Why you would buy this over them is a question we cant answer.
But as it stands, this is an overpriced, underspecified and poorly implemented solution.
Should you buy a Azulle Ally?
Those who are hardcore Android developers might enjoy the challenge or just create a replacement distribution out of curiosity.
There are cheaper and easier ways to have Android run as an embedded gear than this.

But the bonus here is more USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, and a USB-C port (Gen1) included.
Another selling point to anyone wanting a dedicated Firewall is that the U59 comes with two Ethernet ports.
