Review Lenovo IdeaTab A3300

Choosing a tablet in an ideal world, you can get everything at once – a good screen, thin metal body, powerful stuffing and low price. However, in real life, such a scheme does not work and usually you have to choose between maximum device equipped with the high cost and low cost device for minimum money. However, if you know exactly what you want, then there is a third option – to choose for you the key functions and save money by giving up non-critical features. That is the recipe for a 7-dyuymvogo tablet Lenovo IdeaTab A3300, which boasts 3G-modem with support for voice calls.


 Options


 Tablet Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 is supplied in a white cardboard box, inside which you can find 7-inch tablet, compact charger with detachable cable USB / micro-USB and the accompanying documentation.

 Cover in not supplied, so if you want to protect the body of the tablet from the vagaries of real-world use, you have to purchase it separately.

 Design, controls


 Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 model is made in the 7-inch format, its dimensions are 198 × 119,8 × 9,98 mm, weight – 327 g Wide screen bezel (especially in the lower part), extra white border around the perimeter of the front panel and course centimeter shell thickness substantially heavier image plate. In this case it is appropriate to speak of the unity of the first impression and the reality, since the tablet looks and feels equally ponderous.

 In addition to the display on the front panel, you can find the manufacturer’s logo and the front camera is a 0.3 megapixel (!). Today to explain such a low resolution web-camera, you can except that care about saving the manufacturer web traffic when communicating with someone in video mode. A pair of speakers hidden behind false panels on the edges of the metal front panel, is the most successful with an acoustic point of view a layout. Note that the model boasts proprietary Dolby, which makes the sound more voluminous and echoing that positively appreciated by lovers of youth music genres (classical music in this mode, it is not necessary to listen to).

 Rear panel and partly sloping sidewall housing Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 is a panel of non-smooth white plastic. Logos and manufacturer of Dolby applied silver paint, basic 2 megapixel lens (!) Cameras passed in the upper left corner.

 Note that the upper part of the sides of the tablet of white plastic does not just insert the role of design, and captures a glass screen protection. It is fixed to the housing by snap, while the gap between the two elements of design can become clogged dust. On the whole body did not have so rigid back plate is pretty easy to push until the characteristic spots on the screen.

 All four sides of the tablet body involved controls and connectors. Micro-USB port and audio brought to the upper bound, and a microphone – on the bottom. On the right side you can find the power button and volume rocker, and due to the concave shape of the latter, you can easily adjust the volume to the touch.

 At the top of the left sidewall Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 posted double slot, covered by a long non-removable cap, which hides the MicroSD card and Mini-SIM. It is interesting that you are using a full-size SIM-card, rather than the more usual for modern mobile devices Micro-SIM.


 Functionality


 Tablet Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 equipped frankly budget 7-inch screen, for each of the characteristics which we have any claim. To begin with, it is TN, which can not boast of any normal map colors or comfortable viewing angles. Image remains legible at small inclination tablet to / from itself in portrait orientation, it is the slope of the left / right leads to a very noticeable “fade” picture.

 Resolution 1024 × 600 pixels are still in demand in the public sector, but the 7-inch format is a pixel density is too grainy. Brightness can be adjusted over a wide range 9 – 250 cd / m 2, but there is no automatic adjustment, as a word, and a proximity sensor. Capacitive sensor supports up to five simultaneous touches, but again the low sensitivity and unfortunate oleophobic coating impede comfortable control pad.

 The model is based on the entry-level CPU MediaTek MTK8121. This system-on-chip has four cores ARM Cortex-A7 with a maximum operating frequency of 1.3 GHz and graphics Mali-400 MP.

The device is equipped with a full range of wireless modules, including Bluetooth, WI-Fi, GPS, 3G-module with support for voice calls and even FM-radio.

 The tablet is equipped with a battery 3500 mAh battery, which allows it to survive on a single charge at least 5 hours in the heaviest mode. Simpler tasks can be performed for 8 hours, all the information collected about testing in our traditional table.

 Powered Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 running Android OS 4.2 supplemented with proprietary shell. The main difference from the standard interface is the lack of the “Applications” – all icons of the installed programs accumulate on the desktop. We also note a number of useful branded apps, including “Power Manager”.


 Results


 As a result, Lenovo IdeaTab A3300 gives the user exactly what it promises – the ability to use the tablet as a smartphone, and that is to call brauzit not only where there is a Wi-Fi-coating for minimum money. All other features (design, display, platform, cameras, etc.) expectedly weak, but as we have said above, get everything at once can only be in a perfect world.
