Packaging, equipment.

The tablet is packed in a square box made of fine cardboard. On the front side there is a schematic color image of the facial and back of the tablet. On the back of the box brief technical information different languages.

Equipment. And here everything is very poor. The manufacturer laid only the charger and USB cablewhich in turn is part of the charger itself. There is also a brief user guide.

Appearance, design.

Again in appearance Before us is a classic tablet that does not differ in the background of other tablets. Round corners, wide frames on the edges of the screen.

There are no designer solutions. Normal tablet for everyday use. The plastic housing has a not a big protrusion of about 1.5mm. above the tablet screen. The volume control button has a wavy shape as the semicircular inclusion button, the color of the buttons is black.

The tablet is fully made of plastic. There is no metal in the design. Rear end Blue and has a coating Soft-Touch.

Thanks to this coating, the tablet does not slip out of the hands. Actually, in the hands of keeping quite comfortable and comfortable. With a certain skill, you can use one hand.

Build quality. Everything is assembled very well. Buttons are not luftyt, there are no screens, gaps on the device case. One word is a good and high-quality assembly of a tablet.

Functional connectors on the device case.

1. On the upper end on the right side there is a volume control button and a tablet power button.

2. All major connectors are located on the right end: Charging indicator, microUSB output, headphone connector 3.5mm., Microphone hole, minihdmi output, memory card slot.

3. On the lower and left end there are no control elements.

4. On the front side we have front-camera For video communication and two stereo dynamics at the bottom corners of the tablet.

5. On the back of the tablet there is only a PocketBook logo made by embossing.

Functional elements.

The tablet works on the basis of Android OS 4.1.1. It is a "clean" Android from Google without any third-party launcher.

The menu is built according to the 4x7 formula with one basic screen where only the most basic applications are installed by default. It is strange that PocketBook did not set any of his original book reading program.

There are also 4 working screens with widgets.

There is a very powerful file manager with the possibility of display. hidden files, as well as with the possibility of a separate mapping of music, video, photo.

Screen. 7 inches, 1280x800 points, 5 simultaneous touch, IPS matrix.

Viewing angles The maximum possible image is seen from any position. The sun is practically not faded and the image can always be read. Very high quality transmission of color shades, all colors of juicy and natural. Beautiful black color. Separate pixels are not considered to be practically possible, but if it is not necessary.

Before us one of the best screens If you take into account price category Tablet. According to this parameter, PocketBook very pleased. There is a protective screen coating, but the type of coating failed. On the screen there is a protective film and for the first time it is quite suitable.

Connection via HDMI. There is nothing unusual here. The tablet can be connected to any signal source where there is an HDMI output and output all necessary information on a big screen.

In this tablet, we are waiting for one very large and pleasant surprise. Personally for me is one of the most important moments In the tablets that oh how rarely you can meet. The manufacturer provided the ability to install applications and games to the memory card. Go to the tablet settings, then the memory and put a tick on the line "Use an external micro SD card as a basic memory" and all after rebooting all applications are installed on the memory card, naturally if you extract the memory card from the tablet, then installed games Or applications will not be available. Definitely this parameter is a big plus in PocketBook piggy bank.

It is possible to update the program part of the tablet by air. When you first turn on the tablet reported that a new firmware is available. To be honest, then after updating "to the eye" did not notice any improvements in the device.

The sensory controls of the control are accurately along the middle of the screen, they are usually placed in the lower left corner.

Camera. As probably, many have already noticed the presented screenshots that we have no main camera. Yes, ladies and gentlemen and this can be in 2013! Nevertheless, we have a front camera at 0.3mp. Which is actually suitable for video communication. However, it works well in Skype, explicit problems were not identified. The settings of the camera itself are minimal. This is: geothey, the size of the QVGA and VGA photo, white balance. There is a digital zoom, naturally at full increasing noise is just huge. This is such an extraordinary approach of the manufacturer. I think well, I think everyone will decide separately for himself.

In work, testing.

The tablet has a dual-core processor - Rockchip RK3066 1500 MHz. and a four-core video processor - MALI-400 MP as well as 1GB. random access memory (after loading is available 890MB). This bunch allows you to comfortably play all the modern 3D games, although there are not significant moments ....

In the game NOVA N.O.V.A. 3 There are no series of graphic effects, such as a volume smoke. Although exactly on other tablets with the same stuffing, the entire visual part is presented in full.

Synthetic test graphics:

In the VELAMO test, when testing testing in HTML 5, the tablet constantly freezes, only a reboot helps. So that you are test only in Metal mode.

The main memory in the 8GB tablet. After loading remains 5.65GB.

The tablet supports MicroSDXC format memory cards. Memory card at 64GB. works great. By the way, the manufacturer itself declares support for memory cards to 2TB., It remains only to wait for these carriers on sale.

Wi-Fi. The tablet is very confident and consistently accepted and keeps Wi-Fi signal. There are no revelations here.

Sound. Two stereo speakers. Highly loud noise. Audible under any operating conditions. At maximum volume, the sound is not distorted and does not phoney. Excellent indicator.

From the box the tablet loses most of the most common video formats. So, at first, it can be limited to the built-in player. There are also no problems with MKV playing. Is it worth reminding how the movies on this screen look gorgeously.

The navigation on the tablet occurs with visible not large lags, if you want, it lacks smooth when turning desktops. The sensor does not always work the touch from the first time and has to press several times. There is information that in the coming big firmware it will correct all this.

Connecting external devices. Connect the following devices without problems: Mouse, Keyboard, Cardrider, USB flash drive, PS3 joystick, hDD At 80GB and 3G USB modem Huawei E1550 from MTS (unlocked). I did not even prescribe anything to connect to the network.

When the tablet is working, be it game or films The tablet is very hot.

Battery life.

Battery in tablet for 4000 mAh. Nevertheless, I am afraid that this battery may not be enough for a long time given the HD permission of the tablet. Supported charging through USB port Computer and this is again a big plus. There is a tablet charging indicator.

Now let's look at how much the stated 4000 mAh.

1. Playing MP3 in headphones, the volume is maximum - 25 hours.

2. Playing a video file, volume and screen brightness to a maximum - 3h.

3. Work in 3D applications, sound at maximum, screen brightness 75% - The situation is interesting here, for example, in the NFS MW, the battery sat down for 1. 40min. In the game Death Dome lasted 2h. 15 minutes.

4. Work in a mixed cycle: music, video, games, surfing over the network - 5 hours.

As seen indicators are quite weak.

Conclusions.

At the beginning, it seems even experiencing Euphoria from PocketBook Surfpad 2. The chic just screen. Installing applications to the memory card, loud speakers. But the longer you use the tablet you come to the conclusion that there is not enough of the main chamber, even if weak the chamber, there is no smoothness, and not everything is smooth. It feels that the tablet needs a new more stable firmware. Yes, and the price of 4.690 rubles. It seems already high, competitors keep up, and some sometimes come around. Explay Surfer 7.03 - 4.190 rubles. The same screen resolution, though the battery is worse. Fly IQ320 - 3. 590 rubles. Similar screen, however, video is poorly small, but also the difference in price of 1 thousand rubles. IconBit Nettab Matrix HD - 4.490 rub. more capacious battery. TeXet TM-7043XD - 3.690 rubles.
WEXLER.TAB 7IS - 4.590 rub. Already Bluetooth 4.0 and the camera is basic for 5MP. DNS AirTab E77 - 3.850 rubles. There is a main camera.

Pros:

1. Excellent screen.

2. Loud stereo sound.
3. Installing applications to the memory card.

4. Build quality.

5. Good performance.

Minuses:

1. No main chamber.

2. The tablet needs to be refined.

Thanks to the company DNS and Pocketbook for the provided tablet on the review.

So far to new meetings!

The brand is well known for its electronic books, which, by the way, enjoy good popularity on russian market. However, the manufacturer decided not to stop at what was achieved by presenting a series of tablet PCs. About one of them - PocketBook Surfpad 2, and will be discussed.

This seventh music tablet can boast a high-quality HD IPS screen and a good port set, which is rare for the budget model.

The hardware stuffing does not represent anything unusual. The Rockchip RK3066 dual-core processor, which is managed by 1 GB of RAM. The role of a graphics accelerator performs Mali 400mp. Gadget received 8 GB of permanent memory and support for memory cards up to 32 GB.

At first glance, we are typical working horse" Well, let's start an overview of PocketBook Surfpad 2 and find out what he is capable of reality and will be able to present a surprise.

Specifications

Packaging and equipment

PocketBook tablet comes in a white cardboard box of impressive sizes. On the top of the package, the image of the gadget is given, as well as mention that it works under the control of Android OS 4.1. Side parties do not carry any information.

But behind there is a table in which the main specifications and device capabilities.

After opening, the first thing that seems to our eyes - the Tablet PC itself lying in a soft bag.

After it is retrieved, access to the rest of the delivery bundle is available in which:

• Network charger;
• Micro USB cable;
• Quick Start Guide.

As you can see, the delivery kit is very modest. There is no headset. But the complete USB cable is distinguished from the total number of similar accessories. The manufacturer decided to provide it with ferrite filters.

Appearance and design

PocketBook Surfpad 2 comes in three color solutions: red, black and purple. A copy of the black color hit me.

None unusual or interesting design solutions The manufacturer does not indulge us (if not to take into account available colors). The device received a classic rectangular shape, with slightly bevelled corners.

Despite this, the gadget looks very interesting and concise. A glossy plastic frame passes around the perimeter.

Dimensions of the device:

• Width - 194 mm;
• Height - 122 mm;
• Thickness - 10 mm;
• Mass - 300 g

You won't call a thin tablet. There is a logical question: what is the cause of his swampiness? Let me remind you that on board there is a non-removable battery with a capacity of only 4,000 mAh. In my opinion, with such thicknesses and sizes it was possible to post more clean battery. Then the SurfPad 2 thickness would be justified to a greater extent.

The mass is distributed evenly through the case. The form is also chosen very successfully. Orientation at the tablet landscape (which is unusual, since the gadgets with a screen diagonal of 7-8 inches usually get book orientation) Therefore, the smaller parties enlarged in width look reasonable.

At the top of the front side there is a front camera with a resolution of 0.3 MPIX.

On the bottom on the sides are two holes of the speakers that are protected by a grid. Since they are in the deepening, it is possible that in the course of operation in them will accumulate various small garbage.

The material of the housing served as a matte plastic. Single glossy detail - frame around the display. Back cover Received a Soft Touch type, which is positively affected by operation. The main camera is absent.

Assembly quality is on high level. All items are well adjacent to each other, all the gaps are uniformly minimal. When pressing and squeezing, there are no all sorts of screens and arms. The back cover is simply perfect.

There are no complaints about the quality of hard-keys and connectors. When using all sorts of cords and headphones are securely fixed in their interfaces. Lufts or screens are completely absent.

Pressing the soft keys, the move is small, but tactfully felt good. The sound from pressing is almost absent, no and some squeaks. The top end is the volume swing and the on / off key.

All connectors are concentrated on the right side: MICROUSB, Micro HDMI port, port 3.5 mm, microSD memory card slot, as well as a microphone hole.

The topic of budget tablets will always be popular, because even those who can easily afford to purchase flagship modelSometimes there is a need to get something easier and cheaper. It is to such models. PocketBook Surfpad 2.Equipped with a 7-inch IPS-screen with a resolution of 1280 per 800-point and dual-core platform Rockchip 3066 with MALI 400 graphics.

Rear panel and most sidewall PocketBook Surfpad 2. Made as a single part of colored plastic. The cover is decorated with a relief manufacturer's logo, and all connectors and controls are deposited on rounded sidewalls.

Operating claims K. PocketBook Surfpad 2. Not much, but they are - on the maximum volume there is noise in the speakers, the minimum brightness of the backlight in 60 kD / m2 is too much to read in the dark, and the plastic case can creak at a certain grip.

PocketBook Surfpad 2 - how much? Or an overview of the budget tablet with support for memory cards with a volume of up to two terabytes

08.08.2013

Lyrical accession

Does such cards exist? Exactly. And I found this question that I got acquainted with the official specification of PocketBook Surfpad 2. No, do not exist. However, the tablet supports them. Those. Must identify them if they suddenly ever appear in our best of the worlds. A little more about this - in the relevant section.

Summary

Capacity sensor, for five simultaneous touchs. Several stupid, unfortunately. The percentage of non-chapels when typing was more than usual. For some reason, it was especially difficult to press the letters in the lower right corner (with a portrait orientation of the screen). And pressing the screens sometimes happened - it is also unpleasant. In information O. new firmware it is indicated that "increased sensitivity touchscreen". To be honest, I did not feel. Anyway stupid. But at the same time, that is extremely strange, I absolutely can not complain about the stupidity of the screen in the games. All sorts of temple runs and races - everything is without bitch, zextan and other troubles. As if non-challenges at all on The light does not happen. How to explain it, I do not know.

Operating system and other software

Classic operating room android system 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

No add-ons, but a bunch of pre-installed software. Most removed without problems. But pre-installed file manager or google maps Delete will not work.

Battery

Battery capacity - 4000 mAh. Is there a lot or a little? Test results in front of you. Three hours of play, from four to six hours video. For a long time, other seven-year-old plates did not fall into my hands, so it's difficult to compare.

Surprised hours of operation music player (when the screen is turned off). Only 33 hours. Somehow is not enough for the battery of such a container. For comparison, the Highscreen Boost smartphone with a battery similar to the container lasted more than 70 hours. What is the matter - I do not know. Not for the first time I come across such behavior. Some time ago tested the PERFEO 1006-IPS tablet with a battery as much as 6000 mAh. Holded 35 hours. Suspects begin to custody that the size of the device affect the discharge rate even when the screen is turned off.

Time full charge native charger (in the on) - a little more than three hours.

PocketBook Surfpad 2 as a phone

Use the device as the phone will not be released due to the lack of SIM. But Skype earned without problems, including video.

PocketBook Surfpad 2 as photo and video camera

The camera here is purely symbolic and frontal, 0.3 MPIX. For Skype, no more.

PocketBook Surfpad 2 as GPS navigator

Use the tablet as a navigator is impossible due to the absence of a GPS module. Bluetooth Mouse Do not connect because of the absence of Bluetooth. By the way, it is interesting, and external GPS modules that would cling to usb, exist? The ability to connect external devices something is there.

PocketBook Surfpad 2 as a video player

The power of the device is enough for everything, including FullHD. Mx Player is pre-installed as the "default" player. Reasonably, damn it.

There are still very intelligent two external speakers, located not somewhere on the rear surface, but face to the physiognomy of watching video. Especially loud and qualitative they did not seem to me. But in a relaxed atmosphere, you can restrict them.
