This is the case of the Media Pad 7 Lite. This equipment is presented as sufficient for those looking for a basic everyday use, such as reading emails, browsing social networks, check websites and play less demanding titles, but is not an all-terrain machine. The battery of 4100 mAh is sufficient to use one of two days or three days in these molds.android 4.0 tablet
With a Cortex A8 processor core at 1.2 GHz and Android 4.0, the tablet's overall performance is weak. The interface is slow and multitasking tests showed that the tablet takes longer than desirable to develop into more than one function - that it remains questionable by 1GB of RAM, which is integrated in the machine. In this field the "blame" goes to the same operating system.
One of the positives is the screen, even with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels - which is not really "set" - features bright colors and well represented. Movies and photos are two multimedia advise that this equipment. Even in the business media, chambers of MediaPad 7 Lite showed a satisfactory and acceptable to the features which can be called as videoconferencing.
Since the slope of games is not the most advisable. Real Racing 3 and The Croods, recent games have been installed successfully but refused to boot when requested task. Not sure if this unit is defective or if problem is hardware incompatibility with the requirements of the software.
Overall, it is recommended for those who want a basic device and not too demanding. The 149 euro are exaggerated and not paid through an unofficial ROM is possible to increase the performance of the tablet, giving it a new life in the hands of the user. The price is also justified by the excellent build quality of the MediaPad 7 Lite: is robust and conveys a premium for the price you pay.
For over 50 euros you can buy a 3G version.
In another analysis of the Curie Spanish company bq gives meaning to the terms "good and cheap". The IPS screen is eight inches with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, but the inch "extra" gives a more square shape to the tablet and that is not intrusive or annoying.
In terms of the panel, there is much more space for playing content and comparison with a seven-inch model, where the resolutions are not so different, eventually tipped in favor of the Curie bq. The colors are not the most vivid, but the performance of the device compensates.
The processor is Cortex A9 dual-core 1.4 Ghz, accompanied by a graphics processing unit quad-core Mali-400 and 1GB of RAM. Equipped with Android 4.1, the flow is a hallmark of the device. All applications - social networking, games, word processors and maps - work without the slightest difficulty. The multitasking even exists and latency is almost nonexistent.
The 169 euros requested by bq justified and worth the investment. Buyers should not expect a multimedia performance is very nice - the photo sensors have a bad resolution and the speaker is still a terror, that defects had been detected in Maxwell Plus 7.
In another prospective video playback is performed without any trouble, though the square shape of the equipment conditional playback of content at 16:9. But the HDMI output allows for sanding flat to playback content directly on TV.tablet pc quad core
Still referring to autonomy - good in everyday use and basic bad when it comes to games - to a slight heating of the battery when the demand is great and the nice little texture that makes up the back of the tablet.
The ZTC was all the more disappointed. Despite having a recommended price above 250 euros, the company is positioned to offer the low-cost market and promises that the next few weeks can be found by a much lower offer.
For the features that the tablet features, the price quality ratio is lagged. The technical specifications are satisfactory to: Cortex A9 dual-core 1.6 Ghz, 1GB of RAM and a seven-inch screen with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The overall performance is what disappoints. In this case, justification of the operating system can not be displayed as in the case of Huawei, as the TW-7200 is equipped with Android Bean Jelly 4.1.1.
The battery does not take much, thanks to the ability to 2.700mAh, but for this most basic and complementary to the PC, fulfills his task flawlessly. The screen also lacking, an aspect almost "holographic" and that becomes troublesome.
Games, videos and photographs, as well as browsing Web pages and social networking apps are content that can be implemented without major difficulties.
Overall, can have an aspect stronger than the Curie bq, but the combination of colors and patterns may not suit all kinds of users.
The choice, opt for brands with more renowned as Huawei, Acer or Asus and, supported by communities of programmers that can give equipment that are sometimes "forgotten" by the manufacturers.
The purchase, the bq deserve approval TeK and present a quality-price ratio that is hard to find in other devices, even theoretically stronger brand as we saw between Curie and Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite. The brand has grown in Portugal, Spain and is expanding into new markets in the near future so that bq also have a community of developers to cook ROMs.
But the best advice still is: think carefully about what you want and what you really need. For most basic uses, such as tablets ZTC fulfill the function, even after some time might displease the consumer. Make a measurement between a device you like - work, entertainment, Internet - see what other options exist - small laptops, smartphones with screens generous dimensions - and make a bet that lasts over time in strength and performance .
Nowadays progress has been made at a strong pace, so it is advisable to add some more money and buy a device better. The Nexus 7 of Google and Apple iPad Mini already enter this field - are equipment that will be followed by companies during the next two years certainly.
