Apparatus in
Inside the tablet is working 64-bit, eight cores Kirin 930, developed by Huawei. It includes two quartets cores running at 2 GHz and 1.5 GHz, and has a good integrated graphics accelerator Mali-T628 MP4, clocked at 680 MHz.
When you first turn on the gadget configures protection via a fingerprint sensor.
Due to the elongated shape fingerprint sensor may think that it should be done with your finger, but in reality only a simple touch. Enter the device memory, you can sample seven fingers that helps restrict access to the device to different people. By the way, the fingerprint scanner is working directly with the central processor, so attackers to bypass security can not be at the program level.
After the initial setting unlocking using a fingerprint scanner in less than 1 second with a light touch. Fingerprint sensor concurrently running more and touch the button: long hold - return to the desktop, swipe - go to the previous screen.
A user-friendly interface on the tablet can also encrypt the data in the internal memory and the microSD card. The device provides other ways to hide personal information. You can password protect individual applications run or use the "implicit" protection. Last algorithm allows using "dummy" pin code to create the appearance of full unlocking device in which the owner of certain data will be hidden.
Gadget with the supplied pen the Wacom, recognizing up to 2048 levels of pressing, we checked in to the application and the handwritten notes in a program for Artecture artists. If you already have experience with classic graphic tablets without display from the company Wacom, you probably imagine the specifics of such devices. In short: the pen allows you to adjust the power of the "push" of a pencil or a brush, and more can be seen on the display to "pencil lead" to its actual touching the touchscreen. For those who are seriously engaged in graphics, it is also important to know that the experience of drawing on the tablet screen is almost exactly the same when working with professional graphics tablets, but with reservations. On the Android-tablet during hatching occurs a short delay (about 25 ms) and does not support the recognition of the pen angle. The rest of the stylus works fine with the gadget: the minimum error (about 0.5 mm), detection Velocity is very accurate, so that you can clearly monitor the line thickness and other settings, depending on the selected drawing tool.
The body of the pen is completely metallic, on it there are two function buttons that can perform different commands depending on the application settings. Besides the main purpose related to painting and the creation of handwritten notes, the pen can be used for creating screenshots (enough "circle" the desired area of the image), to control some games and in many standard applications (calculator and other applications already integrated handwriting recognition) .
With regard to the performance of the whole device, the gadget is not only smartly works within the shell EMUI 3.1, standard software and Web surfing, but also easy to cope with more serious programs. For example, you can easily handle large photos or engage in video editing.
Results of synthetic benchmarks:
The sound quality of the tablet turned out to be a big surprise. At first, we biased attitude to the four speakers, believing that this is a trick marketers, but skepticism vanished after the first listening. The sound appeared perfectly clear, detailed, with lots of pleasant hearing midrange and even with the bass, which generally very surprised, given the ultra-thin enclosure. Later we understood that the sound quality is achieved due to the fact that one pair of speakers better reproduces bass frequencies, and the other - the top that gives collectively "saturated" sound. In addition, the speakers themselves are quite large (10 x 20 x 3 mm) and have a total capacity of 4 watts. Frankly, not even any portable speakers are sold separately sounds as speakers in this tablet, so that the additional Bluetooth-speakers just do not need for this device.
Another "trick" the four built-in speakers is to use special algorithms correction phase distortion when they are working simultaneously, allowing you to achieve the effect of a 180-degree panorama of sound when the listener the illusion, as if the sound comes from different corners of the imaginary room. It is noteworthy that this effect immediately disappears if you rotate the tablet to his back side.
All this is quite difficult arranged speaker system has been designed for tablet US company Harman / Kardon, a world-renowned manufacturer of consumer electronics and automotive-class Hi-End, which also has a wealth of experience in the design of portable speakers.
The sound in the headphones was also very high quality: even with fully disconnected without equalizer effects and sound "fat" with pronounced low and high frequencies. The fact that the sound of "embellished" does not hide and producer: at the system level in the tablet is constantly working Clari-Fi system that restores the volume of the frequencies that are normally "cut off" the various compression algorithms for audio, applicable to MP3 and other lossy-format .
Camera
Huawei has not become a "freebie" and set the camera to the tablet with decent features: auto focus, 13 megapixel sensor, a lens with an aperture f / 2.0, the LED flash. Software for controlling the camera is fast and has a minimalistic interface.
The viewfinder has a manual adjustment of focusing and exposure, available at any time of shooting. In addition to the basic settings, and additional modes are available: Automatic Retouching, Timelapse, filters, panorama, HDR.
As for the quality of the images, the results left a dual impression. C one hand, the photos are quite a lot of noise, even in daylight, but on the other hand, on the device of atmospheric pictures look due to good color rendering and high sharpness.
Brightness LED flashes mean.
The front camera does not differ a special quality, but it is wide-angle, so it can help to make not only the Self, but the self-portraits and group. Also, for the "frontalki" is a virtual outbreak, which serves as a display.
With shooting text camera copes perfectly.
Movies in Full HD produced smooth, without strobe effects, the average quality.
Wireless interfaces
The tablet supports all the communication standards: Wi-Fi (802.11 a / b / g / n / ac) and Bluetooth 4.0. The device also supports a LTE network for speeds up to 150 Mbit / s. In addition, the unit has a full arsenal of "Telephone" function, ie it can fully make calls and send SMS. The device even has a vibrating alert.
navigation support in the device is truly international: there are GPS, GLONASS, and "native" Chinese BDS (Beidou). The receiver in the tablet, with "hot" start for 5 seconds to easily find more than 20 satellites, even in the room. With the speed of the Internet, no problem.
Autonomy
One hour in the game Asphalt 8 with an average brightness and with the included Wi-Fi battery power has fallen by 12%. In the "flight" looped video playback at maximum brightness the screen discharge unit for 8 and a half hours.
With the active mixed use with the included Wi-Fi, LTE, and a variety of background applications running in the tablet can easily work out two days (about 7 hours c active screen).
To optimize the charge rate, you can use the system settings: Various energy-saving schemes that allow to find a compromise between performance and battery life. In addition, a special application has the ability to track and "kill" is strongly discharged battery applications.
results
New from Huawei - a rare example of "decent" in every sense of the tablet running Android. The device can be a great comfort to play, watch movies, draw, manipulate photos and video, work with documents and spreadsheets, to read without zooming PDF-magazines and books with complex imposition, and perform many other tasks. The device has a high build quality and materials, excellent display, powerful and well-sounding speakers and offers a long battery life. The device certainly suitable for both demanding home users and professionals as a reliable working tool.
