Review Tablet TEGRA Gradient Note 7 – Net Workshop

Nvidia’s involvement in a product like a tablet generated great expectations among members of the press and the consumers, particularly the opportunity to see a totally dedicated gaming product. Thinking about this is that Nvidia and, in Brazil, Gradient, launched in March this year the Tegra Note 7 tablet produced by the company and son which it is called to be the “7-inch tablet world’s fastest”. Received the device to perform some tests and this analysis. It’s what you follow now, here on the Net Workshop.

Eventually the Gradient among the news of the Office of Net, is to introduce a new smartphone or litigate the name of your iPhone. However, the company also works strongly to produce new devices and technological advantages to its customers.

The launch of Tegra Note 7 inches was a real surprise for the consumer. A tablet with spare on your competitors and extremely competitively priced technology, besides being the first with quad-core Tegra four processor from Nvidia. This, linked to the design directed to those who like to spend hours playing or using entertainment apps. Let us then know the full details of the Tegra Note 7 of the gradient.

Package

The Tegra Note 7 box is well designed, built on sturdy material and very beautiful, within it have the tablet in foreground, below it, a false bottom in which we access the Guide standards and Quick use. Separated in two other compartments are the cable transmission of data and energy (is the same as we see in all the appliances of today) and the charger with USB output that connects to the cable.

Assessórios

The Tegra Note 7 may still have a Slide Cover – protective cover on the screen and also support for horizontal positioning – which is very useful to use the tablet standing on a table, for example. You can place the Tegra Note in at least four fixed positions with Slide Cover, two of them more inclined (excellent for improving typing) and two more “standing” for when you’re watching a video or movie. The Slide Cover is an accessory that must be purchased separately and the price goes from R $ 145.00

Gift Tegra in Note 7, the stylus, if required, can also be acquired separately. In addition, she has several rubberized tips to be used the way the user wants.

Design

Architected for those who like to work with the tablet horizontally, the Tegra Note is quite ergonomic. It has speakers on both ends to provide maximum excitement for gamers. The audio output, however, is hampered by the position of the hands, however, is still better than if it were turned backwards. The same edges give the user a good grip for Tegra Note 7.

The front is completely flat, without relief; there are no physical buttons on the front sight. The buttons are on the upper right side (on / off / lock) and on top of the volume control. Beside this second is the compartment to insert the SD card. On the same side of the power button are also inputs for 3.5mm headphones, microUSB and microHDMI output

In the upper right side corner is Direct Stylus. Buttons, we can say that the architecture of the same is good, but there is a certain difficulty to find them in the “moment of truth”, since the edges of the back of the Tegra Note are rounded. The Power button, for example, is very close to the rear camera – which was repeatedly pressed by mistake. The microUSB input also requires a little patience in the beginning; confess that I was afraid of forcing some part and damage the unit.

Now talking about the rear of the Tegra Note, we note that there are two distinct textures that make up the design of the device. Aiding grip with your hands, the center of the back cover has a stickier texture than the glossy and smooth surface which is also part of the body. You can see in the picture, too, the name “Tegra Note” printed in larger font and the logo of the gradient above

Dimensions

The Tegra Note, positioned horizontally, measures 190mm wide by 120mm height and also 9.4mm thick. In turn, the display has 152 mm in width and 95 in height along the same horizontal position.

Considering also some devices with seven inches, as the Nexus Galaxy 7 and Table 3, we . Tegra see that the Note is exactly between these two devices whose dimensions are 188x111x9 198x120x10,5 and respectively

Display

The LCD display is manufactured with IPS technology; 7 inches and has a resolution of 1280 x 800; the pixel density is 215 pixels per inch. The size is ideal for those who do not want a very large unit. The display lighting is coming back – the call backlighting – LED. A great screen to use both during the day as at night. Even having no fullHD resolution, the screen Tegra Note has good color settings.

Performance

The Tegra Note is equipped with an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor 1.8 GHz – GPU GeForce cores 72; and a CPU ARM Cortex-A15 quad-core. The robust launch of Tegra processor gives the note an enviable performance to tablets the same category and higher price. Architected for gaming, the tablet did not work had to face hours of play. Naturally he suffered from heating equipment, but nothing that would compromise its final performance. In some games like Dead Trigger 2 he behaved very well.

However, I noticed that after more than an hour of play with an extremely simple app that is table tennis, with internal heating of the Tegra Note, it has lost some sensitivity on the touchscreen when I decided to draw a little on Tegra Draw -. this app could be better

In testing benchmark, we use apps like Velamo, Antutu and 3DMark. See the score of the device and also the scores of other devices through the images below:

Software

The Note Tegra already comes with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but can be upgraded to Kitkat or the Android 4.4 version. The structure is largely intact Android tablet on the Gradient, having only a few native apps, one for himself and other camera apps that act as a support Stylus app. The Tegra Note has a system of self-energy economy. Out these details, we can report that the Android Tegra in this Note is practically pure.

Direct Stylus

As discussed earlier the Note Tegra thought not only in the gamer audience, also thought of the device users who use it to estimate work, coloring and writing freehand. Therefore, the Direct Stylus is a pen that is part of the tablet and works very well. Its sensitivity is excellent, hampered only by drawing app which is pretty weak. However, on Google Play is possible to find other writing and drawing apps to use the maximum resources that can provide this pen. Ps: the hand of the editor is that it is problematic

When serving the stylus from its slot slightly the tablet recognizes the movement and provides options for the use of thereof. If you want to just work on the tablet using the stylus, just ignore help options by tapping the side of the frame

When you have the pen in hand, a new demand emerges options at the bottom the screen. These options is the way that prohibits the use of your finger on the touch screen, ie the touchscreen now recognizes only the pen touches. Sometimes the system was circumvented by fine taps of your finger, something that can harm anyone who works with his hand resting on the screen

HDMI

Have you thought about use your tablet as a control and the living room TV as a monitor to play a Triger Dead 2? With the Tegra Note you can. Just plug an HDMI cable into the output of the tablet and the other end into the television set. Recalling that the tablet output is HDMI mini . The cable must be purchased separately.

Camera

Every user who buys a tablet, seeks not only good footprint, display with great colors and good performance for apps and games; also trying to find a good alternative to record everyday moments or capture a video of your child riding a bike for the first time, for example. In this sense, the Tegra Note – which comes equipped with its own app (Awesome Camera) camera – is within the acceptable. Your photos are wonderfully captured, but they are not extreme bad taste. Worth recording that this item could receive a more dignified treatment that technology CHANCE today in high-end appliances.

The rear camera has 5MP resolution and has no auxiliary flash for moments with less light. The front camera is VGA resolution. Some existing features in the camera app give the most attractive one. As the detector faces, zoom by pinch movements with the fingers, sharing via Smugmug. Beyond these details, the camera has four different types of positioning features such as:. Rule of Thirds, Golden, Trisec and Framing

Slow Motion

Maybe the high point of this camera is the same mode that allows the user to capture images in slow motion. Taking into consideration the quality of the camera, slow motion mode is quite interesting. Check out the video test with 1080p video and slow motion test.



Battery

The guy who chooses a tablet with interesting capacity for heavy games and applications that require more strength and nimbleness of the appliance also like to know that can extend your enjoyment for hours with a nice battery performance. The battery has 4100 mAh Note Tegra power and is within the average of competitors seven-inch tablets

There is no claim of battery Tegra Note, he managed to support all gaming tests and designs. – abstract – we did a test with battery life, always with the screen brightness at maximum

Use for viewing video games and stand quietly at least six hours of gambling. constant before the tablet battery to discharge completely. For common use, and without exaggeration, the battery usually lasts well over.



Tegra Zone

Nvidia also exclusively provides a direct channel to the user’s Tegra Note has access to download games and apps optimized specifically for the tablet. Although the idea is good, the design and style are quite interesting, the Tegra Zone is not as functional as Google Play

Verdict

Nvidia built the tablet you wanted, as we could see with the settings there disorremos above, a device with excellent performance for games and heavier tasks of everyday life. Of course it has some imperfections and also questions that could improve, as the camera and the screen of the device. The price is within the “standard” Brazilian tablets for higher performance.

If you want a tablet with almost pure, fluid and enjoyable performance for games that require more processing Android, you’ll have a good friend with Tegra Note 7 However, if you seek a solution most beautiful and mild or a more decent camera, perhaps the opportunity to look for a second option in the market.
