The SPC Glow 3G is a tablet with a format of 9.7 inches that combines the functions of a tablet with the ability to connect to multimedia capabilities mobile networks and even keep phone conversations. A suggestion for those who want it all in a large device it has come to the market at a price of 200 euros. Other highlights of the team are a quad-core processor, dual SIM card slot or glass Gorilla to protect the screen from bumps and scratches. We had the chance to thoroughly test the SPC Glow 3G, we tell you our impressions.
Tablet … what phone?
The SPC Glow 3G features 3G connectivity . One feature that will allow us to insert a SIM card with data rate and navigate in any corner (where there is coverage, of course). But also, this device incorporates the functionality of the phone. It seems clear that the purpose of using a hands free and talk with our contacts, although nothing prevents wear on your ear while walking down the street (of course you can wake up a joking comment by size). Such is his commitment to serve as phone this device includes two slots for SIM cards enter, so that we can unite in a single tablet and a personal line of work. This is very useful for not having to drag two feature phones everywhere.
Indeed, in the field will have 3G network support HSPA up to 4 2 Mbps , more than enough to surf the net and visit web pages, but you can stay somewhat short for streaming videos and other content heavier speed.
Display and Design
This device features a design that combines the frames front and two in the rear stripes in black and silver casing. The glass Gorilla Glass protects the best tablet from scratches and bumps and also plays a role in the design, as it reaches beyond the touch paper to cover the frames of the team. This gives this device a more elegant look. On this front we also find the brand logo on the bottom left. Keep in mind that this is not a particularly thin and light tablet, while maintaining some numbers to facilitate their grip. Specifically, the dimensions are placed on the 234 x 174 x 10 mm and its weight is at 610 grams. This can cause some difficulty if you can think of using it as a smartphone to use.
As for the screen, SPC panel advocates a 9.7-inch IPS, the standard markup by Apple with its iPad. The use of this technology provides excellent viewing angles up to 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically. Generally, the tactile feedback is good and so is the level of brightness. Yes, its resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels can be rather short in case you want to consume multimedia content such as movies or videos from YouTube in high quality.
Camera
The 9.7 SPC Glow 3G incorporates a rear camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels and no flash. This is a pretty humble goal that will allow us to immortalize our favorite moments but will not give great joy. In the front we have a camera of 2 megapixels offering better balance to take both popular selfies to use videoconferencing applications the type of Skype and Hangouts.
Quad-core processor and 8 GB of memory
Inside the 9.7 SPC Glow 3G quad-core processor with staying power 1.2 GHz . Such chips have become a constant in many of the releases of the last year, and allow us to run most applications and games platform Android. Next to the memory of 1 GB RAM , we have a good set of tools to face the world of platform Google , but you can stay a little short in the case of being used to using numerous open applications simultaneously. Furthermore, the internal storage of this model goes up to 8 GB. Take away the space for the operating system and installed applications; we were just over 5.2 GB of space available to store our personal files. This is a rather short capacity, especially if we use the computer to store large files. If necessary, you can enter a card Micro SD up to 32 GB to expand the space.
Operating system, applications and connections
The version of the operating system chosen by SPC is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Here are missing the company had bet directly by the latest version Android 4.4 KitKat, but we enjoy many of the latest news from this platform. For example, we have the ability to set different profiles for all users of the house using the tablet. The system Google has become the first choice in the market both in smartphones and tablets, and we can enjoy more than one million applications from its official store. As for the pay of SPC, we would like to highlight several points. First, besides the three touch buttons to go back, open the options and go to the main screen, the company has added a fourth button is very useful. Every time we tighten it will create one screenshot of the tablet.
Among the applications, we have Aldiko, a platform for e-books with which we can access a lot of titles, both free and paid. We also have an application for managing tasks that have pending. But usually it is very minimally invasive additions that allow us to enjoy an experience of pure Android.
In the field of connections, and the ability to use the tablet as a phone, we also have free WiFi to connect at home or Bluetooth to sync the tablet with compatible equipment. The connections are completed with a port MicroUSB for charging the device with a standard headphone output.
Autonomy, prices and reviews
The 9.7 SPC Glow 3G includes a battery of 7,000 mA should serve to achieve up to seven hours of sailing. In our use we found difficult to reach that number, so it can be a handicap when using this device outside the home on trips or long journeys. The price of the tablet SPC stands at 200 euros. Undoubtedly, the big question that has to be before thinking buying this team is if you really need your phone function and mobile data. And that is to introduce this feature maintaining a restrained price, SPC has ceased to bet that if other features found in other models of the brand, such as self- Glow 9.7 SPC with retina display. If we want the function phone, we will have a balanced tablet that can help us to face the smooth day to day, but without great fanfare.
