Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product

The tablet was chosen for simple and rather rare tasks: light surfing in the internet, youtube, i. Maps, booking, etc. For these tasks, the price / quality ratio (I took 3/32 without LTE, now around 15tr) is currently optimal for a conditionally budget device (with several installed applications free 15GB out of 32). Of the competitors, I didn’t look at Lenovo (I don’t know what’s with the software shell), I looked at MatePad (but there are dancing with a tambourine with GoogleApps, not for me, plus there are problems with afterimages on the screens), I didn’t look at the iPad 2022 ( the aspect ratio is not for video), but I looked at Air4 / Pro11, but even there (even taking into account the price 3-4 (!) Times higher, not everything is smooth, literally, even with an oleophobic coating there are problems. Still interesting s5e, but at a price of about 30tr for my infrequent use, overpaying for it twice as compared to the A7 2022 does not seem rational to me. In general, if when choosing a tablet, the brightness / contrast / screen resolution is very critical and you personally see the difference (I don’t even want to mention disputes ips vs amoled), it's better to look at the store first, then make a purchase decision.

Pros
  • + Snapdragon in the budget segment, still significantly faster compared to last year's A-series 10.1 (which is on the Samsung Exynos 7904, it is sooo thoughtful in comparison), A7 is almost identical in speed to Mi Note10 + 3 gb of RAM is enough (in my scenarios) for several applications, so as not to lag, but usually no more than 1gb is free + Fairly smooth interface (now OneUI 2.5), but also most likely due to the processor + Perfect aspect ratio for watching videos, minimal black borders on top and bottom + The resolution of 2022x1200 is quite sufficient for such a diagonal, everything is quite smooth, pleasant + 4 speakers sound decent in stereo, yes, you can say no bass (even HUAWEI CM510 Dual sound better), but for a tablet it is very commendable + the oleophobic coating is very decent (well, maybe it hasn’t worn off yet), but the microfiber effortlessly removes traces of use)
Cons
  • - Oddly enough, the screen. According to many sources, this is IPS, but it is somehow pale, non-contrasting, and becomes sharply pale when deviated from a perpendicular view. The settings in Settings are at least compared to the same version of the UI on Samsung smartphones, here only the blue filter can be turned on. At home and at work, a monitor, TV and laptop with IPS, but I never noticed this fog / shroud effect. For a couple of weeks of use, I still could not get used to it. In comparison with the smart Mi Note10 (yes, I understand that there is amoled) it’s generally frustrating ( - There is a slight uneven illumination of the matrix around the perimeter, noticeable on dark, on light or when watching a video is not visible - The adapter for fast charging is not included, but when using a 30W block from xiaomi, Fast charging is turned on (I did not measure the time) - So far, a small selection of covers, branded can be found from 3tr, but for a budget, in my opinion, this is not budget. I ordered from Ali, let's see what will arrive in December)
