this wonderful extension ), but does not guarantee their elimination.
Packing and packaging
Packaging and equipment on: 6 points out of 10
Big, impressive box:

But thin enough:

So thin that the power supply does not fit inside. Came in a separate bag.
Here is the equipment:

Ritual ejection headphones (you can not even open it):

USB Host cable:

And a cable for connecting to a computer:

Power Supply:

Damn, they are all more powerful and more powerful. That will be in a couple of years 5B / 10A - then it will be scary.
Charging plug:

One pleases, such a plug fits most large tablets. It seems the Chinese themselves have developed a standard.
The protective film was also included (it comes immediately from the factory), but I unsuccessfully stuck it on, and threw it away.

Standard equipment, everything is in place and of high quality. The box is sturdy.

Build quality and appearance
On the front side, in a white frame there is a screen with a slightly unusual aspect ratio of 16:10.

Above the screen is the front camera:

And on the back cover, respectively, the rear camera:

And two speaker nets.
There are some ritual badges and inscriptions on the back cover:

On the upper side of the face - three buttons, volume and power rocker.

On the side - plugs and interfaces:

Headphones, card, HDMI, microphone, USB, power, charging LED (red - charge, green - charged).
Aluminum back cover:

Side inserts - plastic, like the screen.
I take my words back - plastic screens exist (scratched with a needle), but the test "press and look at the reflection distortion" is completely biased - the plastic screen bends less than the glass one.
All plugs are fully inserted, do not stick out:
Appearance on: 7 points from 10
It looks beautiful, quite expensive. Assembled carefully. The couple got creaked at the beginning, but the “squeezing” test is going well - no backlash, no creaking.
Screen
This IPS-screen with a resolution of 1280 Ă— 800 pixels. Viewing angles are excellent.
A little non-standard resolution gives us an 8: 5 aspect ratio. Well, or 16:10, when compared with a more standard ratio of 16: 9.
The screen resolution is more than 720p, which means that the thin vision of the videophiles will allow them to watch movies on this screen without any problems.
The PPI of the screen is 150, but such a low value of the problem does not amount to:

Although a low value is compared to phones. And so, quite nothing - at the level of laptops.
The outer panel is plastic, to protect against possible scratches in the kit is a protective film. Some users even say that the film was pasted in advance, it was enough to remove the protective film.
Screen on: 8 points out of 10
Good, bright screen, which is quite visible even in the sun. Good viewing angles, excellent color reproduction. A little (by 2 points ;-) spoils the picture of plastic, but the film will save it from scratches.
Characteristics, work speed
The tablet is built on a fresh SOC from Freescale - i.MX6Q

.
The system includes 4 cores with a frequency of 1.2GHz of the Cortex-A9 architecture and a Vivante GC2000 graphic coprocessor.
This doesn't tell me anything either, so let's move on to the tests.Very high AnTuTu rating:

Good results Vellamo:

Quadrant:

Multitouch on 10 points:

16GB of internal memory:

System Information:

Heh, anyway, the item is called "About the phone."
Characteristics on: 8 points from 10
It works really very quickly, no brakes and freezes are noticed. But a dramatic increase in speed compared to single-core processors is not noticed.
Interiors, mods and maintainability
So, the most delicious.

It is quite difficult to open it - there are no screws or latches, only a thin slot around the back cover.

To raise the top cover, you need more than one screwdriver - you need to carefully, but strongly push out the cover from the plastic side.

Finally the lid is in our hands:

I here described it in three photos. I took it off for half an hour probably, trying not to break the plastic.
Cap decent thickness:

There are grooves in the sides of the back cover:

And on the plastic mate - latch:

General form:

Oh, and what is it there?

Yes, the internal memory is a card in the card reader. I have not seen this since Dropad A8.
On the processor - a thermal interface in the form of thermal spacers reaching the metal back cover:

A couple of general plans, RAM:

CPU:

Card:

I do not know why, but it can certainly be replaced by another, larger volume.
Touchscreen cable and vibration motor:

Side buttons:

Speakers and Camera:

WiFi and BT modules:

Screen loop:

Almost bare back of the board:

Connectors and second card reader:

Camera module:

More precisely, even two cameras:

Battery with a declared capacity of 7 ampere-hours:

Haha
Touch panel:

And the camera bezel is still on hot melt:

Pancake.
Insides on: 7 points out of 10
It is difficult to make out, but it looks reliable. Plastic with holes for screws - disposable. A little harder to turn - breaks the thread.
Photo and video
It looks like this:

Photo and video on: 3 points from 10
For some reason, two camera modules, one another worse.
Working hours:
Games - a couple of hours, video - three hours. In the reading mode with the included wifi about 6 hours.
Work time on: 6 points out of 10
Despite the fairly capacious battery, the new processor eats all the advantage. Normal work time.
Summary:
Very interesting tablet. Given the price, a little more than $ 200 - a good option. Fast processor and excellent screen, but the camera is
not very shit.
