Russian brand bb-mobile is not boring. Developers are constantly pleasing us not only the cheap tablets (and now laptops), but an original approach to their product. The new model will be called “poplar”, then come up with such a cool packaging design that any ASUS and Samsung will be jealous of bold ideas of local designers. In General, today in our test – bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J, which we would referred to as the “seven inches c LTE for a penny”.
In fact, bb-mobile remains true to the chosen course and the newly released “talented” gadget, which combines LTE smartphone, tablet and GPS-Navigator. The price issue? Only 4 890 rubles. Our guest is a close relative of bb-mobile Techno pioneer S700BF that is due to the lack of support for 4G is 400 rubles cheaper.
Equipment
Of course, the first thing to note a catchy design box in the Soviet style. A trifle, but nice – especially for those who were born during the Soviet era. Yes, and the youth of the Soviet style is now in fashion, to recall the collection of clothing the world famous goshi Rybchinskogo. However, we will not be distracted from the techno theme:)
Typically, bb-mobile does not skimp on accessories and gives this set that mentioned ASUS and Samsung are beginning to envy the Russian brand even more. However, in this case, apparently, was a clear objective – to give a great “specs” and at the same time to meet the extremely low price tag. Total – package find garantinis, manual, microUSB cable and power adapter. Stylus, OTG cables, covers, you decide what you need and should be purchased separately.
Appearance and controls
bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J sold in two color options case – black and white. To our test got the white version, which refuted the popular stereotype. If you do not like the brand of the backs, you should choose just a light design – all sorts of dust and finger marks will be visible much less than in the case of dark tones. Both in matte and glossy coating.
The appearance of the hero of the review is unremarkable, it’s typical 7-inch tablet, one of many thousands of their kind in the shelf Android tablets. Nothing wrong with that – the design is neat, there are even mini-feature: the sides stick out a little closer to the corners, like silhouette can be seen in the Samsung Galaxy A5 or the popular “bumpers” DRACO. A no, but the individual item.
Cover device matte and slightly textured, the tablet does not fall from his hands. The weight of a typical 7-inch gadget, 275 g. the set of elements of bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J – ordinary state employees with the opportunity calls. From the front you can see at the top of the earpiece and the front selfie-camera, touchpad with buttons missing. The frame around the screen is quite thick, which clearly recorded the pros: so minimizes the likelihood of accidental touches on the edges of the screen.
At the top are a 3.5 mm audio Jack and microUSB port. Buttons are on the right side, is a dual volume key and the button to turn on/off the device.
To get to the slots, remove the plastic panel at the top rear. Then we will see two slots for “full-length” mini-SIM, and there is a recess under the memory card microSD up to 32 GB.
Observed from the rear main camera, led flash (it can work as a flashlight), and also in the lower right corner – a loud speaker.
Display
What screen performance you expect from tablet 4 890 rubles? Here we took for granted that bb-mobile Techno pioneer TQ763J LTE has a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, and the matrix is made by technology TFT-TN. Yes, with the angles there are problems, but 99% of the time you’ll use the “tablet” alone. Colors saturation is not enough, at the same time, there is much to enjoy – a clear bias to cool or warm tone there, the color palette is displayed without distortion.
The backlighting is uniform, rarely seen in the public sector. Supports up to five simultaneous touches, the touch layer has high sensitivity. By default, the tablet comes with the pasted protective film, so that the display is securely protected from an appearance of scuffs and minor (and not so) scratches.
“Iron“
Hardware platform bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J based on chipset Spreadtrum SC9830A with four processor cores Cortex-A7 at a frequency of 1.5 GHz. Processing meets graphics accelerator Mali-400 MP2. Perhaps the weakest link in the performance – only 512 MB of RAM. But immediately reveal all the cards – be wary of excessive “thoughtfulness” is not worth it. Of course, multitasking is not a skate model. However, if you in the absence of background processes run even Asphalt 8, even the browser tabs productcom is a serious lag will not find.
Below are the results of benchmark AnTuTu, which is consistent with the expected moderate performance of the hardware.
In daily use, we tested bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J in full and about a week used the model as the primary Communicator and GPS Navigator. The results are more than positive. Again, if you do not try to simultaneously load the tablet-demanding tasks, the power device can be enough to work without slowdown like in the browser or a messenger service and 3D games level Dead Trigger 2 (on medium settings).
For storing information allocated 8 GB, of which part is reserved for the system, the user has about 6 GB of space. It’s enough to throw a few 480p-films, a dozen music albums and install Asphalt 8.
System, wireless connectivity and autonomy
In the tablet installed Android 5.1 Lollipop, there is support for updates “over the air”. Additional software is mainly represented by the service “Yandex”. Given that bb devices-mobile focused on the Russian consumer, such a customer care will be useful. For software protection pre-installed trial version of antivirus company “Doctor Web”.
The set of supported wireless standards impressive: WiFi: 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, 3G (900/2100 MHz), 4G/LTE (bands B3, B7, B20) and GPS. Antenna good catches mobile signal – we specifically checked with the assistant mobile and didn’t notice any lag “sticks link” the model bb-mobile. GPS antenna at “cold start” looking for satellites up to two minutes, usually 40-50 seconds. In the future, “hot start” takes up to 15-20 seconds. LTE connectivity, the test showed a peak at 50 Mbps, so bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J fully confirmed the ability to be a tool of high-speed Internet access.
The capacity of the battery at a first glance small, only 3 000 mAh. Note, however, that hardware platform is not the most powerful and economically consumes battery power. Therefore the average tablet worked from the socket to the socket” in one day. And this is in a scenario of conventional mobile – web-surfing, games, movies, calls, etc.
Camera
As from the front and from the rear there are a 2 MP camera. The quality is adequate – replace your “soap box” this tablet definitely will not. At the same time, even in the absence of auto-focus primary camera allows you to get pretty clear pictures of text. So a picture of the ad, the page of a book or card, bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J more than capable. Camera settings – minimum, fans of a wider set of options should seek other programs for camera on Google Play.
Conclusion
The bb-mobile at that time it turned out that the brand knows how to do best – to produce very low-cost yet functional device. The target audience for bb-mobile Techno pioneer LTE TQ763J, primarily residents of big cities, where operators are actively developing 4G network. If you are torn between the need to by tablet, smartphone and GPS Navigator, the considered model will be an extremely inexpensive way out of difficult situations and successfully combine these devices.
