Design

Robust is the best word to define the look of Tegra Note. Most tablets in the market has a back full of plastic, but this is not the case here. The Tegra Note has covered part of the rear rubber, with a texture with small holes. This type of coverage helps prevent slips and finger marks on the back.

The rubber also helps minimize the effects of the water heater. Like any tablet, Tegra Note warms slightly after a longer period of use, especially with games.

In front of the tablet, another differential. In most tablet speakers are on the sides or rear. Have Tegra Note has two good speakers above and below the screen.

The result is a sound with good quality. In a quiet room or with moderate noise can be heard quietly a song or audio from a video without having to approach the tablet Eye.

iG also tested the tablet with some “heavy” games like Lawless, Eternity Warriors 3 and Galaxy On Fire 2 HD. In all, the performance was very good and without gagging.

Tegra Note 7 runs Android with a few modifications

There are very few modifications to the Android interface. On the issue of applications, the tablet is also lean and few apps beyond traditional Google package.

class=” That’s good, since it allows for more storage space for games and heavy apps and the user does not get irritated with useless or duplicate applications.

class=” Among the few applications included by Gradient are two specific for use with the stylus. The Tegra Draw is a drawing application to write free hand and lets you use the stylus to make notes. Apps are basic but work well. Once the stylus is removed from your drawer, Tegra Note opens shortcuts to those applications.

A single negative detail in the application is in the camera application, which has some errors and inconsistencies in the translation. There are items in English in the middle of choices in Portuguese, some error messages with Portuguese (“ascesso” in an alert message) and some strange terms such as “cloudy files” (in place of files in the cloud or remote). But this type of error can easily be fixed with an update.
