Packaging equipment
Solid plate with the long name came to us accompanied by a firm on the charger and cable 1A USB <=> micro-USB - normal set for test specimens that have not "gone in a series." So that the composition of commercially available kit we know when the device will appear on the shelves.
Appearance
Metal body and careful assembly make new MediaPad very attractive to look at the device, which, pardon the cliche, it's nice to hold.
Plastic is made only white edging back and painted "under the metal" ring around the body. Also, the plastic cap over the connectors Micro-SIM and microSD, power button and volume rocker (all these elements are placed on the right side of the device), but they are painted so that merge with the metal panel.
The screen is framed inherent Huawei devices millimeter black outline. Above him, with a shift to the right, the lens is placed in the front of the camera and light sensor. Press <Menu>, <Back> and <Home> physical embodiment not received, they are built into the interface plate.
At the top there is a 3.5mm audio jack, and the bottom - port micro-USB.
It remains only to tell about the back of the case. There at one edge of the plastic insert is placed main camera and flash the tablet, and the other - under the perforated speaker grille.
At the center of the rear panel dealt a logo of Huawei and the exact name of the modification device - T1-A21L.
Ergonomics
Narrow (across the plate) framework - a plus for the design, but in practical terms it is not so clear advantage. The plate is large (248,5x150h8,3 mm) and heavy (450 grams), keep it in 90% of cases it is necessary to both hands. And if the frame along the short sides are wide enough and comfortable to grip the tablet in landscape mode, the portrait position to hold the gadget is not so convenient: fingers often hurt the screen, and the sensor is triggered when this did not expect.
Although Huawei MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE thickness does not record small relative to the size of the tablet of 8.3 mm thin body looks.
Physical buttons would not hurt a bit more stiffness. However, the special problems it creates, their softness quickly get used to.
Screen
The novelty has 9.6-inch display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Screen, though not perfect, but good: large, with excellent color, sensitive, clear - although the pixels, of course, at a density noticeable.However, the screen is almost 10 inches pixelation is not very annoying, and getting used to it - it is one day.
Visual image plane recessed slightly below the surface of the glass. The maximum brightness is relatively small, and the sun is very difficult to understand what the system tells you. But at night to work with comfort. In the settings you have calibrated the color temperature of the screen and manually adjust the brightness, as well as change font size and type.
Touchpad gadget recognizes ten simultaneous touches.
To find fault with the screen, as we see, it is possible, but do not want: the subjective impressions, it is very comfortable to watch movies, play games and read, including due to the large screen diagonal. So that its properties are likely to merit the tablet, rather than vice versa.
Interface
Shell interface Huawei EMUI 3.0 was very pleasant (the device is running Android 4.4), also famously adapted it for use on a tablet. For example, "dialer" looks equally good in both portrait and in a typical tablet landscape. During a voice call, the current call duration is displayed in a pie chart with a moving tochkoy- "arrow" (which is also used in applications "Stopwatch" and "Timer"). And all this beauty is very organic look on the big screen.
The keyboard can be solid, or "transcending" the edges of the display - for ease of typing when you hold the tablet with both hands. There is also input text using swype-technology.
If the first impression of the system was "wow, how everything is beautiful, for such aestheticism can forgive even the troll," then a week irritation gradually accumulated. In general, the response of the system was far from a record, especially a device often wondered why something in the browser. With what it can be connected, - describe below.
The device is in
Under the cover of this cooler is hidden quad 410 MSM8916 Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz, 16 GB of internal memory and 1 GB of RAM, plus a tablet supports microSD cards up to 64 GB volume.
Recall that on the tests we had no commercial prototype and test. Most likely, the above-mentioned problems with the speed of response associated with this, and will go on sale device with a modified firmware and therefore no defects found.
But when playing streaming video 1080p tablet is not inhibited and warming himself.
On the device, as you can comfortably play games "moderately severe", although at times somehow hindered Angry Birds. In this tablet is surprisingly normal pulled Asphalt 8. In Minion Rush jerks animation were also visible.
Generally a nice screen adds some magic, and as a result of bad experiences is critical to the process of the game remains. A non-uniform perception of the device as different load games like Angry Birds and Asphalt 8 (freezes in the first and in the second normal operation) only confirms the conjecture about the "wet" firmware. In short, with final conclusions about the speed rush will not, time will tell.
In the meantime, see what benchmarks showed.
As we see in AnTuTu - modest 18,050 points in 3DMark - 2590.
Camera
As the main chamber at MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE supports 5 megapixel with autofocus and flash, front camera at a resolution of 2 megapixels.
At night and in the evening about the cameras, as qualitatively removing device, it is better not to remember. During the day you can and remember; and the bright sun - even enjoy the results. In other words, the main camera is the new MediaPad quite common for tablets and smartphones budget. With a favorable light can turn a normal picture, but often render photographs drives off into the blue.
Examples daytime shooting.
Day shooting with disabled and enabled HDR.
Examples of night shooting.
Take indoor shots with different lighting.
Close-up shot without flash.
Shooting text without flash.
Total, in full accordance with the traditions planshetostroeniya, the camera, the new product - rather utilitarian tool: useful to shoot a few pages of text, or is there a timetable, or just something that is easier to show once, without going into details. In principle, it can give some semblance of macro, but the clarity and precision of focus will be missed.
The application interface (in the account of the above), too often slows down. It is available with different color effects, timer, continuous shooting, ISO setting and white balance; there HDR mode and panorama.
The front camera when taking pictures, as you might guess, the main inferior in quality.
Below - an example of a movie. As you can see, the rollers tablet MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE takes off smoothly.
Wireless interfaces
First Huawei MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE «trumps" support LTE, as well as voice calls and SMS.
A few words about how the device behaves as a phone. When talking without a headset at HHS, the sound is quiet and not very high quality, so to speak, on both sides - the interlocutors complained that when talking on the MediaPad owner's voice heard bad. Headset, especially wireless, position fixes, but this is still not called more comfortable (familiar) than calls via smartphone. In general, as an additional gadget with the option of connection MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE is not bad, but after weighing all the "pros" and "cons", the main SIM-card in it is better not to insert. But if you are so used to communicate through headsets - do not feel much of a difference.
Navigation module does its job adequately, "cold" start - minute "hot" - 15-20 seconds. Wi-Fi does not fall off, Bluetooth worked fine, LTE even plowed ... in short, all is well.
Work Offline
Battery capacity MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE is 4800 mAh. Low screen resolution, not the most powerful stuffing - intensive waste charge simply nothing. So, despite the relatively modest for the tablet battery, "a period of wakefulness," he has enough to complete working day is not required to seek an outlet.
When using LTE and when on the screen to maximum brightness discharge device for about six hours.In games it is still less than full-length, pardon the pun - 4.5 hours of autonomy. However, very few people usually keeps tablet enabled for six hours continuously. In a real-world battery is almost always enough for a day of active use, which includes social networking and web-surfing (via LTE and Wi-Fi), reading books and a few games.
Results
Gadget cost 19,990 rubles Huawei MediaPad T1 10.0 LTE, perhaps, was not very impressive. Even taking into account that while unusual exchange rate, for the money you expect to get something at least more powerful. The pros write down what the tablet is well able to show a movie (very much "talking" to him in this regard, a large display), infinitely pleasing support for LTE and, despite the controversial usability of it as a phone, still warms the soul the ability to call and write / receive SMS.
Pros:
- large screen size;
- support LTE;
- the opportunity to make voice calls and send SMS.
Cons:
- excessive thoughtfulness in the system (in the test sample);
- insufficiently bright screen;
- average camera.
