Ramos W6HD - replacing a paladin or tablet for $ 100
This time we will look at a new Chinese tablet from the $ 100 price category, with quite good characteristics (for this price category, of course), which can be considered as a replacement for Ainol Paladin
Packing and packaging
Neat flat box slightly larger than the size of the tablet.
Heavy. More than 700 grams. It opens in iphone-style - the upper part rises completely up, the tablet lies on top, under it is the package bundle. I am glad that they did not invent cunning designs, like ainol.
And the bad thing is that they didn’t think about the opening - lift the box up, and the lower part me-e-e-slowly goes down for 5 seconds. Monumentally and solemnly (:
The box contains an English-language website, and some of the inscriptions are in Chinese:
At the top of the hologram with numbers under a washable cover. You can even win something by him. I give them to those who can figure out where to drive them on the Chinese site:
Completion is good - a tablet, charging (with an adapter), headphones, wire and wire for the USB host, and with the possibility of power from the PSU (!). There was no last cable in the paladin.
USB MicroUSB:
Host cable:
Power Supply:
Branded headphones (it's time to start collecting the collection):
Instruction:
... Chinese:
Headphones traditionally horseradish, the rest is quite good.
Packaging and equipment on: 7 points out of 10
Not bad considering the cost. And the box is tight - not wrinkled.
Build quality and appearance
I had a white tablet on my desk:
He assembled, frankly flimsy. There are no backlashes as such (where do they come from in the case of two halves fastened with screws and not having shifted parts?), But the plastic is thin - with pressure on the corners in different directions, the tablet “leads”. But we must pay tribute, the case looks neat.
On the right (if we assume that the buttons are located on the top) is the connector for the power supply:
And from the front and back side - two cameras:
There, in the back, next to the camera is a speaker hole.
On the right side it is already more interesting - the main communications are concentrated there:
MicroSD slot, headphone jack, MiniHDMI, recessed Reset button, and MicroUSB connector.
Above - the power button and standard buttons for Android devices, although they have lost their relevance with the ICS triumphant march, menu and back. Home button no. Yes, it is not needed, like the previous two.
On the other hand, on the same upper face, volume buttons are conveniently located:
Below there is nothing except the charging indicator (it is also the receiver for the control panel. True, no one knows which remote is suitable for it) and the serial number:
Behind, in the middle - the inscriptions are not in Russian:
I think calling a tablet is not a miu-miu, but nya! nya !, the Chinese would surely seize the market for animeshnik tablets. In addition to the audience of football fans, yes.
Appearance: 8 points out of 10
The tablet is like a tablet. The recessed screen delivers inconvenience, but it is convenient to hold the tablet in your hand. No obvious build jambs detected
')
Screen
The screen resolution is 1024x600, size - 7 ", which gives us 169PPI. Like the first iPhone, heh. In my opinion, at the moment it is the minimum with which you can work on a tablet of this size. Do you remember how much the paladin had? 800x480. And nothing lived
The coating on the screen is anti-reflective, according to the manufacturers. Well, I do not know, it gives a strange color of the off screen, but anti-glare does not. The sun is not seen very well, the backlight has to be twisted to the maximum to see something.
Screen on: 5 points out of 10
Screen with good resolution, but poor viewing angles. Cinema together look difficult.
Interiors, khaki, fashion and maintainability
First, take out the “legs” from the back cover with a needle or a sharp screwdriver.
There is no glue on them, which is a definite plus.
Then unscrew the 4 screws:
And gently snap it off (with your fingernail or with a pick - what does anyone have) the fasteners of the back cover:
Next, carefully unstick the battery (from the back cover), and the speaker:
7 more screws:
Now disconnect the plumes of the screen and the touch panel:
This is a sensor:
And this is the screen:
We carefully peel off the scotch, pull out the board:
CPU:
RAM (2x256):
Wi-Fi (interface is suspiciously similar to USB):
And I already thought, where is this sticker?
Plastic fasteners, as a rule, their limit is 5 fights. The screen is also fastened with snaps.
Power controller and infrared receiver:
Connectors, microphone:
Insides on: 5 points out of 10
Disassembly without instruction may be non-trivial. Plastic fasteners will not withstand the frequent opening of the tablet.
Characteristics, work speed
Let's go through the tests: AnTuTu and Quadrant
Strange result. Antutu proves that performance is at the level of 6575 and even slightly higher, and the quadrant objects - less than 1000 points.
Linpack:
Linpak solidarity with the quadrant.
Sensors and multitouch:
Accelerometer and gyroscope. Classic telephone sensors are not observed, the compass too. Multitouch 2-finger, not very responsive, although anything better than resistive. GPS is not.
Vellamo:
The combined test Vellamo gives not the best result. It is noticeable - chrome noticeably slows down on complex pages.
The ICS stock launcher turns over normally, but the GO launcher slows down.
Characteristics on: 4 points from 10
Progress among tablets for $ 100 is, but small.
Photo and video
Cameras frankly fig.
The picture is soapy, the focus is fixed, the colors are floating.
Even sunlight does not help:
Even Haipai shot decently (he in the photo, if someone did not know)
The front camera can hardly be used even in Skype
Need to show what the video looks like? Okay, laugh:
You can see all the photos from the review in the original resolution in the Picasa album
Photos and videos for: 2 points out of 10
Bullshit for skype. Two cameras, each according to the score.
Operating system firmware
How to flash:
There are official firmware (you can find them on w3bsit3-dns.com or slatedroid), but there is neither a market, nor work with Google accounts.
But in the unofficial firmware all this joy is there, and we will put it.
Download the latest firmware here . At the moment, the last is 1.9.7, it can also be taken from me on S3 , without waiting and advertising :)
We unpack, throw it on the card (no more than 4GB necessarily, otherwise there is a high degree of getting a brick), insert the card into the switched off tablet, press M + Power and hold until the start of the firmware.
We are waiting for the end. All firmware already with root, market and a couple of programs.
Why are phones on MTK not so flashing?
PO on: 7 points from 10
What else do you need? There is no cyanogen, but ICS itself is not bad (for gerontophils there are 2.3 on the slate droid). Yes, and sewn easily.
Working hours:
In a sleeping state he lives for a very long time - for a week the charge fell by 5%. In the workplace is also not bad - 8-9 hours of reading, and 4 hours of games or watching movies. AnTuTu tester shows 525 points.
Work time on: 5 points out of 10
Summary:
Nothing outstanding, middling in its category. It makes no sense to take it cheaper - up to $ 100, resistive screens and VIA processors start. It is remarkable as a photo frame tablet or toy for a child that you don’t mind breaking or breaking. You can watch light films by connecting to a TV.
