Not all Galaxy Note 4 are the same. Much depends on the CPU – androidinsider.ru

In recent years has become a tradition for Samsung to release their flagship phone in two versions. On the basis of its Exynos processor and chip-based products which often acts as Qualcomm. Top Phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is no exception to this rule. Some have a quad-core mobile Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, while others are equipped with chipset Exynos 7. What does this mean for users?

In this issue to try to understand columnist Phone Arena Nick Tee who posted on the pages of this resource results of testing different versions of the two benchmarks Galaxy Note 4 Snapdragon processor and Exynos. He notes that US operators offer cell phones based on Snapdragon, while model-based Exynos is mainly represented in some markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America. About Galaxy Note 4 A number of interesting facts. But the fact that the phone is introduced to the market two varieties with different processors know relatively little, as well as the differences that are caused by one or another processor.

In theory, the difference between these chips are enormous. Snapdragon 805 has only four cores, while 7 Exynos Octa has a total of eight cores. More specifically, the two quad-core clusters with varying frequency. All processor core of the chip can operate simultaneously, if necessary. On the other hand, a Qualcomm processor running at a higher clock rate reaching 2.7 gigahertz. Meanwhile faster core Exynos – 1,9-GHz and slower clock speed can boast only 1.3 GHz.

But this is only the “tip of the iceberg of the silicon.” Different chipsets and graphics processors. In Snapdragon 805 – Adreno 420, and at 7 Exynos Octa – Mali-T760. Fortunately, both great support QHD-displays, while possessing support OpenGL ES 3.1 and Direct3D 11.1. But the differences in the architecture of GPUs is that they work in different ways.

Smartphones based on two different processors tested benchmarks to determine the chip with the highest performance.

During testing eight were used benchmark tools with which has been tested by mononuclear and polynuclear performance Snapdragon 805 and 7 Exynos Octa, their ability to handle the 2D- and 3D-graphics, as well as the speed of the RAM, storage, and web surfing. Before testing both phones were returned to the factory settings.

Processor

It should be noted immediately that these processors to choose the best is very difficult, but, as shown by a series of tests, Exynos has some superiority . However, the results of benchmark AnTuTu Qualcomm processor has received more points in most single and multi-core tests. And the results of benchmark tests Vellamo, Geekbench, Basemark and PC Mark show that single- and multi-core performance is higher at 7 Exynos Octa.

Graphics

In this regard, particularly in the lead Snapdragon 805. During testing, he walked around the Exynos chip on all benchmark tests, which include the AnTuTu (testing 2D- and 3D-graphics), graphics benchmark Basemark, 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited and GFX Bench.

RAM and Drive

The speed of a RAM during testing was higher in version Samsung Galaxy Note 4 based on 7 Exynos Octa. As for the operation of the drive, there is both devaysa proved themselves practically the same.

Web benchmark

The results were contradictory. Benchmarks Vellamo and AnTuTu HTML5 version of the phone above estimate based Exynos. And SunSpider tests Basemark and say that the speed of the native browser more impressive in Note 4 Snapdragon 805.

Smartphone makers sometimes integrated into their phones option forces the processor to run at maximum speed while running the benchmark application notes Nick Tee. But in the case of the Galaxy Note 4 this was not observed – the clock speed during the test dynamically changed, as in the normal operation of the device.

What version of Galaxy Note 4 powerful?

Both chips adequate performance, and each of them has a certain superiority in the performance of certain tasks. Version of the phone-based Exynos Octa 7 shows the best results of processing power and speed of RAM that the user is accelerating the implementation and application download. On the other hand, the model based on the Snapdragon chip 805 is leading the results of graphics benchmark tests, which means that it is more suitable for gaming. However, both versions of the Galaxy Note 4 are large and powerful Android-device, the differences between them are minimal.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to get the camera Exynos ISOCELL? – Mobiltelefon.Ru

Samsung is the second half of the year puts on Phablet Galaxy Note 4 (our review). The main trump card in the fight against competitors must be 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, the possibility of which you can learn from this material. Numerous disassembly and tests have shown that this module is installed devayse Sony IMX240, but it seems that this only applies to the version with the Snapdragon 805. Recall, Samsung offers an alternative, built on the base of chipset Exynos 5 Octa 5433. According to the source, in this own developments in the Korean smartphone does not end there. As it turned out, this version is installed 16-megapixel ISOCELL, which debuted earlier this year with the Galaxy S5. This is evidenced by the service menu, which shows the different description from the same model:

Recall, Samsung Galaxy S5 does not have optical image stabilization. Markings on the screenshots presented similar, but still different. Previous generations of Samsung devices differ only in the processor, so Galaxy Note 4 may be the first device with such global differences. However, perhaps in front of us just have different encodings in the description of the main camera module or other firmware. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the final result of the two options Phablet. Probably, such a test would set up the dot the «i».

And what of the above phones more like you? Elegant, but a few krupnovat Note Edge with an unusual additional screen, which is a continuation of his side of the main display, or Moto X in 2014, which by today’s standards may be considered against the background of even a miniature giant Phablet?

What does Note Edge best of the best smartphones? – Androidinsider.ru

Galaxy Note Edge – slightly modified version of the striking Phablet Galaxy Note 4, by some measures, even surpassing the famous iPhone. It differs by the presence on the right side of the sub-screen, which is a continuation of the main display device. This is an excellent, albeit very unusual solution to this Phablet become one of the best ever presented devices of its category, and even something to surpass them.

Resource Explorer TheStreet Gary Krakow said additional display very successful approach. Additional screen represents a long strip, capable to accommodate a small amount of useful information. There can accommodate weather data, account in sports competitions and notices. On this screen can also accommodate small icons and shortcuts that provide access to your most frequently used applications.

When you take the smartphone in your hands for the first time, an additional screen may seem superfluous. But when you get to know him thoroughly, then your idea about Edge begins to change for the better.

From a technical point of view Edge refers to the fourth generation of devices Galaxy Note, having a 5.6-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED- screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and additional 160 side of the display. The smartphone is based on modern 2.7-gigahertz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805. Galaxy Note Edge has three gigabytes of RAM and a built-in 32-gigabyte drive. He has cameras and 16-megapixel main located on the rear panel, and a 3.7-megapixel front. Both cameras can shoot video with HD-resolution.

Its lithium-ion battery capacity of 3000 mAh characterized. That’s enough for a whole day of moderate use of the device. Viewed phone running the operating system Google Android 4.4.4 KitKat. It is expected, as further notes Gary Krakow, at the beginning of the first quarter of next year it will be updated to the latest OS Android Lollipop.

Since Edge belongs to the family Phablet Galaxy Note, it is equipped with S-Pen stylus and a set of applications, allowing you to fully enjoy its benefits. Gary Krakow had a chance to use earlier versions of the Galaxy Note, and he came to the conclusion that the stylus is useful for a variety of tasks, which include handwriting and send messages.

Note Edge is very similar to Note 4, but information screen gives it a considerable advantage. These extra 160 pixels of screen space are very useful and are not devoid of meaning. For example, when you are used to watching a video in full screen mode, you can hear sound notifications, but no visual effects are not seen because they are covered by a full-screen video. Note Edge At the same time, you can watch videos and see on the second screen incoming notifications.

Samsung, as before, equipping their devices dozens of their own applications. But now there is no sense of overcrowding in their memory. Approached in this respect to devices on a pure Android, which is the brightest representative of Nexus 6, Phablet Edge demonstrates the willingness of users to alleviate the problem of supersaturation Samsung devices its software upgrade.

Edge pleasure to hold in your hand. Although the phone and is great for its size, Gary Krakow believes that keep him comfortable. The camera device allows you to shoot incredibly beautiful pictures and videos.

Do you like Note Edge with its unusual additional screen in the form of sensory information line? What caused mass excitement of Phablet who recently called “spades” and not bright devaysa future? Is there another equally unusual smartphone like Galaxy Note Edge?

Display Samsung Galaxy Note Edge worth 13 thousand. Rubles – Mobiltelefon.Ru

Samsung this fall went to another experiment in the segment of mobile devices and has released a smartphone Galaxy Note Edge. The device was the same technical specifications as the Phablet Galaxy Note 4 (review), but in an innovative form factor with optional display on the side panel (display notifications and other useful information). Galaxy Note Edge sold in small quantities in certain countries, the list of which includes Russia. The cost of an unusual gadget was 50 thousand. Rubles. In late November, the Korean manufacturer has launched a campaign in which the buyer receives devaysa extended warranty that protects it from the trouble in the event of damage to the screen. In other words, those who buy a Galaxy Note Edge in the period from 20 November 2014 to 31 March 2015, Samsung will provide years of service with one-time free replacement of the display. The user must pay only the work – about 500 rubles. I must say, the screen of the smartphone is not cheap – Samsung specifies the full replacement cost of the display (including the cost of AMOLED-panel) in the 13 th. Rubles. The promotion is valid at both the black and the white model.

Apparently, this explains the high price tag on this device. Recall, according to the latest data, Galaxy S6 can get a similar panel, but with a touch area at both ends. However, by the spring of next year (expected announcement and release Galaxy S6) the cost of such screens can be reduced and, consequently, the price at the start will be tastier.

Design and Ergonomics

New in the family of Galaxy Note has retained a recognizable appearance, despite the new trends in the design of the company’s smartphones.

In particular, it concerns shaped metal frame with a slight bend, passing around the perimeter of the device, which ensures its conformation necessary rigor and style. However, unlike, for example, from the Galaxy Alpha, the frame is painted now in the main body color, which can be black, white, bronze or pink. The presence of metal speak only silver bevel on the edges of the frame. As for the size of the new planshetofona, then, compared with the Galaxy Note 3, they have changed only slightly – 153,5h78,6h8,5 mm against 151,2h79,2h8,3 mm. This is easily explained at least in that the device screen size remained unchanged (5.7 inches). But weight has increased by 8 grams (176 g vs. 168 g). Incidentally, we note that in planshetofone not attended to dust and moisture protection devices, such as in the case of the flagship Galaxy S5 (IP67).

A faint “bulge” of the screen, to round off the edges of the body, due to the use in Galaxy Note 3 safety glass 2,5D Gorilla Glass 3 from the company Corning. Incidentally, the display covers the front surface of 74.39% planshetofona, though, for example, this ratio Galaxy S5 is only 69,76%.

At the top of the front panel provided holes for the LED charge / events lattice” conversational “speaker, the front camera lens as well as proximity sensors and lighting.

In an oval mechanical button “Home” / “Home Screen” below the display, as in the Galaxy S5, added a fingerprint scanner, which was not in the previous model family. Dedicated touch buttons “Recent Apps” and “Back” can not be seen without light, the work of which is configured in a special menu item.

A thin metal power button / lock still holds the right edge of the unit,

and the left – the same metal volume rocker.

At the bottom there is a connector microUSB, two holes for microphones,

as well as the case for the electronic pen S Pen,

and at the top – one more hole for the third microphone, 3.5mm audiogarnitury and peephole IR port.

In a removable back cover is preserved stylization” under the skin “, while drawing seems to have become more prominent. The material used here is pleasant to the touch soft-touch plastic. But emphasizing texture decorative “line” on a path cover had disappeared. The back panel offers access to the battery with a built-in antenna NFC, and microSD card slot and a microSIM. At the same time, to install the latest must first remove the battery.

in the upper portion of the cover provided two openings for the main camera lens, and for the LED flash unit and multifunction sensor (heart rate, blood oxygen concentration, and ultraviolet radiation). In the lower part of the grille moved “multimedia” speaker, which Galaxy Note 3 was placed on the bottom. On the left side of the cover (rear view) made a small gap, through which it is quite simply removed.

Covering the back cover not only provides pleasant tactile sensation, but with edges and protrusions metal frame protects the unit from slipping out hands. In addition, the settings are special tools for easy management planshetofonom one hand.

screen, camera, sound

Display, of course, the basic hardware “feature” Galaxy Note 4. Experts from the company DisplayMate, which specializes in testing screens even noted this new element planshetofona as the best on the market. On Super AMOLED-matrix with a diagonal of 5.7 inches provides a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels (Quad HD, 2K). Compared with the screen Galaxy Note 3 (Full HD, 1920×1080) the number of dots increased by 1.8 times, and the density of pixels per inch increase, respectively, in a 386 ppi to 515 ppi. Whereby the display is formed very clear picture, rich colors and wide viewing angles. Special role does not play even used a scheme with two sub-pixels PenTile RGBG, which “sin” all Super AMOLED-display.

In order to correct the color, which may seem too” acid “in the settings screen is available four profiles:” Main “,” Photo AMOLED “,” Movie AMOLED “and” Adaptive Display “. In the latter case, the automatic optimization of the color range, saturation and sharpness for only a few applications, but this does not guarantee compatibility with third-party applications. Planshetofonom can be operated with gloves on, if you include the option to increase the sensitivity of the touch screen layer settings.

If you have a good anti-reflective properties of the screen is pretty decent margin of brightness that makes it comfortable to use it, including sunlight. The brightness level can be adjusted manually or use auto-tuning it to a light sensor. Capacitive screen Galaxy Note 4 supports multi-touch, and the programs and AntTuTu Tester MultiTouch Tester confirmed that detects up to ten simultaneous keystrokes. The manufacturer claims that the response time of the matrix is ​​one-millionth of a second. The advantages of the screen should also be considered a very good oleophobic coating.

The main camera planshetofona received photomodule Sony IMX240 Exmor RS, where 16-megapixel sensor is located on the 1 / 2.6-inch BSI-matrix and the aperture 31 mm lens is f / 2.2. Not forgotten as autofocus and LED flash. “Smart” optical image stabilization system (Smart OIS) with a small vibration compensates the jitter smartphone, avoiding the “shake”, and automatically extends the exposure time under low light conditions. Maximum image resolution is 5312h2988 points (16 MP) at a ratio of 16: 9 and 3984h2988 points (12 MP) at the aspect ratio of 4: 3. Examples of the photo you can see here (Dropbox).

At the front camera turned out to be an impressive 3.7-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f / 1.9, and, quite apart from the expected “Self-Portrait”, supported by the panoramic shooting mode (viewing angle of 120 degrees) for group “crossbow”. Get a self, as usual, can be adjusted to decorate and improve. The maximum resolution for “sebyashek” here 2560h1440 points (3.7 MP, 16: 9), and the classical aspect ratio – 1920×1440 pixels (2.8 MP, 4: 3).

The organization and design of the interface in the application “Camera” is virtually identical to that used for example in a smartphone Galaxy Alpha. Desired labels frequently used settings can be easily installed on the main screen. In addition to “Auto”, here and in the presence of more than a dozen specialized modes, including “Self-Portrait”, “selective focus” (after the frame is made, you can choose a proximal and a distal or panoramic focus) and “Panorama”.

The main camera can shoot 4K-, or UHD-video (3840h2160 points, 16: 9) at 30 fps. And the front camera the best record at the same frame rate is obtained only as Quad HD (2560h1440 points, 16: 9). All content is retained in the container file MP4 (AVC – video, AAC – audio).

The sound of the “multimedia” speaker Galaxy Note 4 is not very loud, but nice. He almost muted, even when the smartphone screen is up (but on a solid surface, of course). Playing fairly clean, with tangible bass and treble.

Three microphones (two on the bottom and one on top of the phone) successfully cope not only with noise reduction. Thus, in the application “Voice Recorder” added another three recording modes. In “Interview” record sounds is carried out from two directions (from different ends planshetofona). On “Meeting / Meeting” device is able to distinguish up to 8 audio sources, with the completion of recording some of them can be excluded. A “Voice Memo” allows you to immediately convert the recorded voice into text.

Filling performance

Currently, the Galaxy Note 4 – one of the most powerful smartphone in the world. His model SM-N910C is made based on the latest SoC production Samsung – Exynos 7 Octa 5433. Recall that planshetofon previous generation Galaxy Note 3 hides under its hood a crystal Exynos 5 Octa 5420, created with the less restrictive design rules (28 nm against 20 nm), which affects its performance and power.

The architecture of the chip Exynos Octa 7 5433 – big.LITTLE GTS (Global Task Scheduling) – also includes eight processor cores, four of which are high, and the remaining four – energy efficient. However, at the same time, place cores ARM Cortex-A15 and ARM Cortex-A7 took ARM Cortex-A57 and ARM Cortex-A53, respectively, operating at a maximum frequency of 1.9 GHz and 1.3 GHz, respectively. The main difference between the new kernels is that they are based on a 64-bit architecture ARMv8, of course, with full support for existing 32-bit applications. Performance, they are said to have about 50% higher than their predecessors. Recall that support heterogeneous multiprotsessinga allows you to use all the cores of the crystal at the same time. For graphics processing chip has a special accelerator ARM Mali-T760 MP6. Six powerful execution units operating at frequencies up to 700 MHz, enabled him to gain a reputation as one of the fastest in its class. The basic configuration of the device complements the 3 GB of RAM. 8-core processor with graphics accelerator cope with the high resolution screen without any problems.

In the synthetic tests AnTuTu Benchmark 5.2.0 new planshetofon looked the most impeccably. Received the title of “monster” and typing 49839 “virtual parrot,” he said, in particular, did not leave any chance, for example, the flagship HTC One (M8). Note that the Galaxy Note 3 could expect in this test of about 35 thousand “virtual birds”.

In the benchmarks Vellamo 3.0 with multi-core tests (MultiCore) Galaxy Note 4 in the lead with a score of 1883 points, but he was only the second in the evaluation of” horsepower “on the CPU test (Metal ), giving “killer flagships” OnePlus One (1570 vs. 1653).

On the visual test Epic Citadel at variable settings, High Performance and High Quality (performance at the expense of quality and vice versa), the average frame rate to permit 2560h1440 points differed in importance only after the decimal point – 58.7 and 58,5 fps. Changing the settings on Ultra High Quality predictably reduced the value of this parameter (up to 46,8 fps).

It is confidently made planshetofon and universal gaming benchmarks 3DMark, which results Galaxy Note 3 on tests Ice Storm Extreme, simply read off scale.

Of the 32 GB of internal memory available approximately 24.4 GB, which can be extended for another 128 GB with cards microSDXC. In addition, external flash drives can be easily connected via OTG USB-cable.

The flagship suite includes communications planshetofona seems everything you need: 2-band Wi-Fi-module 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac (2,4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.1, ANT +, Infrared, NFC. Furthermore, Galaxy Note 4 may operate in Russian mobile networks LTE (Cat. 4). Incidentally, we note that the use of Bluetooth 4.1 reduces interference from LTE in adjacent frequency bands.

For the positioning and navigation systems can be used satellites GPS, GLONASS and Beidou. There is also support A-GPS. This, in particular, by the testimony of the test program AndroiTS GPS Test.

Compared to last year’s version, the capacity of lithium-ion battery in the Galaxy Note 4 rose very slightly from 3200 mAh to 3220 mAh h. At the same time, for the Galaxy Note 4 manufacturer stated while surfing the Internet (3G / LTE / Wi-Fi) – 11, 10 and 13 hours, respectively. But for video playback will be limited to 12 hours. Thus, our test video in MP4 format and Full HD-quality at full brightness spun continuously for just over 9 hours, which, generally speaking, very good.

On battery test AnTuTu Tester planshetofon earned 6872 points, ahead on points 6-inch Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro ( 4837) with the same Quad HD-resolution and rather capacious lithium-polymer battery 4000 mAh. In practice, the autonomy of the new planshetofona is approximately at the same level as that of the Galaxy Note 3. Fast Charge allows you to fill the battery from zero to 50% in about half an hour, however, this would require a special 2-mode (5 V, 2 A and 9; 1.67 A) charger, or bundled, or meet the specifications Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.

Have not gone away traditional for Samsung power saving modes, including extreme that turns the device into a simple” dialer “. Typical conventional measures of energy saving – a limit on the baseline data and / or performance, as well as the rejection of a color picture interface.

Software

Over the latest version of Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) in the Galaxy Note 3 uses the familiar proprietary shell from Samsung – TouchWiz. Compared with that used in the Galaxy S5, it has changed little, although some differences still there. And most important of them is the multitasking. Recall that in 2012 in the Galaxy Note II offered the ability to simultaneously run two programs, dividing the space between the big screen.

Function Multi Window in the Galaxy Note 4 makes good use of multi-tasking device, choosing the most convenient way to access applications – in full screen, split into multiple windows or pop-up windows. The size and location of the windows on the screen, which, incidentally, may overlap each other, it is easy to change. In the collapsed state on top of everything will hang round icons denoting application windows. Translation of any program in the mode of reduced window is as simple gesture (swipe your finger from the top of the screen down on a diagonal).

By the way, a private news application forms are no longer My Magazine (as in the Galaxy Note 3), and Briefing.

Among the pre-installed software on the Galaxy Note 4 worth noting customers popular services, including including such as Evernote, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

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.
