Overview of the tablet Etuline NVIDIA Tegra Note 7: young – green – 3DNews

On our website once the review release tablet NVIDIA, but, in fact, it was the second plate of “green”, released with all the rake, which NVIDIA has come with the release of the first one. But first get to Russia for a long time: the platform Tegra 4 is not the first, and indeed Tegra Note 7 – NVIDIA first creation in the field of mass-produced albums – young. That, however, does not mean that he is not good, well, how good – we just checked in the testing process. Besides, he really began to be sold at us recently. In general, we will not about age – not at the age of salt and look for the start of the factory default settings: in the case of Tegra Note NVIDIA was important to offer customers maximum at minimum cost, or a chance to settle in the tablet market could be missed forever.

⇡ # Appearance and ergonomics

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – smaller, cheaper, more powerful

Keep in mind that NVIDIA – it is always the technology, in this case – in the projection on the game. Accordingly, in the face of Tegra Note 7 we get a niche device designed primarily for very specific audience – for fans of interactive entertainment. As is the case with video cards, NVIDIA offers some reference solutions, which subsequently implemented with minor amendments (if not without them) under the auspices of assorted brands. In our case, we are talking about the brand Etuline, owned by major Russian distributor OCS. The device copies the prototype, and the owner of the device learns about the existence of a company like Etuline, only the logo on the packaging, well, during the launch of the device. No other changes from Etuline not expect – and this is generally fine.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – the front panel

Someone design of the device may seem overly simple. But this is precisely its charm – a practical, discreet masculine. Absolutely masculine format. For 7-inch tablet model sufficiently heavy (372 grams). This is understandable – it is necessary to take into account the serious stuffing. But with all of the above discomfort occurs – even with just one hand manipulation. Another thing that you notice immediately – impeccable build quality. No backlash, no gap: all items driven home just perfect. The only thing that can be annoying, so this slight rattling stylus inside the case, but more on that later.

On the top panel, in addition to the power key, can be found just three connectors. Firstly, the standard port for connecting a 3.5mm jack acoustic devices – headphones. Secondly, there is provided an interface for data exchange and charging Micro USB. And thirdly, we can see the connector micro HDMI. Separately want to mention not very good location just Micro USB – charge your device at the same time to use it is not very convenient. It would be better to implement the connector from the bottom, but what we have, and what we have.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – bottom panel

The back side of the body is covered with soft-touch plastic. It is not Mark, and the device just a pleasure to hold in your hand. On the bottom panel, you can find additional speaker output and the base of the stylus. It turned out quite convenient to get it not from above but from below. However, the plastic edging around the groove makes us constantly cling to it when you try to remove the arm. Of course, it’s a matter of habit, but very annoying at first.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – Sidebar

Along the left panel, you can see the decorative border, which is proving to be the original longitudinal stub. It is removed by the user for subsequent fixation firm cover. On the right side there is a “rocker” volume control, and a slot for inserting a memory card and SIM-card. Pressing the soft sound settings, without noisy clicks.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – the connectors for the memory card and SIM

The plug is fastened tightly enough, but a lot of effort for its extraction is not required. She is one closes just two available slots. Supported media type – card format micro-SD. Format supported cards of mobile operators – micro-SIM.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – supplied

The device comes in a compact box with a classic black-and-green color scheme. The box can be seen not only numerous logos NVIDIA, but also the name of the vendor, under whose brand tablet sold, – Etuline. A similar model, but without the support of LTE, is produced under the banner of the same obscure our brand Gazer. Supplied austere: a couple of booklets, micro-USB cable, and a small power supply.

The device, despite its “armored” form, supplied without any protection. Corporate Case have to buy separately. Unless, of course, be able to find it in the Russian retail. With great difficulty, managed to find such a small online store – happy owner it will cost about 1000 rubles. The very good quality cover, plastic tray and a magnetic cover that folds in the manner of the stand.

⇡ # Display

Display – it’s the first thing you notice after the hand felt a pleasant heaviness NVIDIA Tegra Note 7. Note that the screen with all its typical gloss is not so much zalyapyvaetsya and prints easily and quickly removed almost any matter. That is to overwrite the display as a favorite mug, is not necessary. It should say thank you oleophobic coating – is infrequent addition to low-cost devices.

Screen 7 inch uses IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels and a density of 216 pixels per inch. Given the current war permits capricious buyer can marvel at such a low figure and ask – where, in the end, the notorious Delhi Full HD. However, in this case, the visual image looks quite smooth, if not stare at him at close range. Designer, typographer and photographers who are critical about this option, of course, the screen will not like, but most users will be satisfied. The more so because the low resolution is one of the keys to good performance in games.

The screen covered by tempered glass, supports up to 10 simultaneous touches, which was confirmed by the relevant measurements. Automatic brightness depending on the lighting is also attached, which is also nice. Safety glass, like all such devices, almost immediately begins to be covered with light scratches even if you do not expect aggressive operating costs to get cover – it, including corporate, not so much worth it.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – measuring brightness

The manufacturer of this does not write but we have to admit the presence of the air gap between the glass and the matrix. Stock brightness is large enough, but in comparison with competitors the result does not look impressive. Same ASUS Nexus 7 shows 475 cd / m 2 , Apple iPad mini 3 shows a little less – 401 cd / m 2 , – but still comparable result. The bright sun to use tablet hard – no problem only with the text on a white background. To view the dynamic video have to find a more secluded, dark corner.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – The black brightness.

The screen shows a good viewing angles – no complaints here. The same can be said about the maximum brightness Black: 0.39 cd / m 2 – a very decent rate. And visually black color looks rich and deep even at the highest level of illumination. The resulting contrast ratio – 1060: 1 – and for the budget unit is downright excellent.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – gamma curve gray in comparison with the standard (black line)

However, the screen shows the obvious failures in light shades of gray.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – gamma curves of the primary colors in comparison with the standard (black line)

The same result we see by studying the results of measurements on primary colors. It should again be noted that these deviations will not be too noticeable to the ordinary user. If more time to consider the fact that the device is not designed to work with digital photos (more on that below), or image processing, the picture is quite satisfactory.

NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 – color gamut of the screen compared to the color space sRGB (white triangle)

The color gamut NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 is slightly different from sRGB, but not so much that it felt in games or standard applications. In principle, a good color balance. Not enough saturation on red and blue, there is a bias on the green. But in general, for a budget tablet – quite come.
