How to choose a teXet? Popular models: specifications and reviews

The market of tablet computers is represented by thousands of different models from dozens of manufacturers. Each of them manages to find its audience of buyers, despite the different possibilities in terms of marketing.

Today's article is devoted to a company that does not have a large advertising budget and does not collect millions of sales in a few days after the debut of the new device. Nevertheless, this does not prevent her from producing high-quality devices, which hundreds of thousands of people enjoy with pleasure.

Meet: it is a Russian manufacturer of teXet equipment. We will analyze the characteristics of the tablet computers manufactured under this brand, and we will try to compare them based on the feedback of customers.

Brand positioning

Let's start with general information about what this trademark is. It has been on the market since 2004, however, the launch of mobile devices began only in 2010. Before that, the developer specialized in the production of various media players, players and other equipment.

TeXet tablet belongs to the category of budget gadgets because the cost of the most expensive of them reaches only 10 thousand rubles. This means that many residents of the CIS countries can afford such a device, which the manufacturer expects. Due to low cost and easy to manage the Android operating system, the devices have really become popular.

Equipment

You ask - and on what hardware does the teXet tablet function, if its cost is so low? We answer - assembly of devices is carried out, traditionally for similar technology companies, in China. The processors here are far from being the most innovative; The same applies to other modules. It turns out that due to lower productivity and less expensive assembly materials, the price of the gadget is going down, which buyers from the post-Soviet space are looking for. In addition, the prices for devices are reduced due to partner software released by Yandex, Mail.ru, RIA Novosti, Kommersant and others. Since this software comes bundled with a tablet computer, deductions for its placement from publishers can reduce the final price of the tablet. Another plus - users do not need to download all this again, because favorite programs are already available on the screen of the tablet.

Benefits

Reading such articles, an involuntary question arises - why did the choice fall on the teXet tablet? After all, there are a lot of other manufacturers (including from China), which, perhaps, offer more productive models of devices at affordable prices. What are the advantages of teXet in front of them?

There are several of them. Firstly, it is a domestic company that represents the country on the market of advanced technologies. Of course, Chinese developers can offer buyers more - but by purchasing these devices, we support the Russian electronics manufacturer. Secondly, is the availability of devices from teXet. Tablets, the prices of which are in the lower price range, as a rule, are unable to perform some complicated tasks and processes due to their poor technical equipment. In principle, the same applies to teXet, only a set of functions that are needed by the average user are available here. In particular, it can be a convenient "reader" of books, a device for surfing the Internet, games, watching movies and the like. If the owner is not going to play colorful races or "shooters" with the maximum requirements - for everything else, teXet is the ideal solution. Thirdly, it is compactness and comfort, with which the device can boast. The functions described above are available in a small 7-inch package that can be carried in the jacket pocket and thus stay in touch at any time. Here, as an advantage, you can include a cute design and colorful screen of the tablet.

disadvantages

Of course, the negative sides of teXet tablets (the reviews confirm this) also have. The first category is in poor equipment, both hardware and technical. Some users do not have enough tablet capacity, for example, when playing a widescreen movie or launching a "cumbersome" game, in terms of requirements. For others, the device is not reliable enough, as it can fail at any impact. As you understand, working with such a device is not easy - you have to treat it more carefully.

The second category of shortcomings that can be found in teXet products is the negligence of manufacturers. It is expressed in many ways - starting from a factory marriage, the consequence of which is too fast battery discharge for unknown reasons, and ending with a shortage of spare parts for a device that is out of order. Such situations also happen and, unfortunately, no buyer is immune from them.

How to choose a tablet?

However, if you are interested in any of teXet's tablets, and you would even like to purchase it, you need to remember several criteria that allow you to choose the device that suits you best. In the following sections, we describe them and describe which tablet computers have these or other capabilities.

Display and processor

For most users, the screen (its image quality and size) is the determining factor when choosing. If we are talking about teXet products, it has several tablet formats. In particular, here is a tablet with a screen whose diagonal is 10.1 inches (tablet teXet X Pad Navi), which has a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels and a processor clock speed of 1.3 GHz; 2 cameras (2 and 0.3 megapixels each). To reduce, we should mention a device with a diagonal display 9.7 inches (TM-9777) with the same processor speed, running on 4 cores. The display resolution is 1024 by 768 points. In the line of tablets there is also an eight-inch representative - X-pad Rapid 8 4G (code number - TM-8069). There is also a processor with similar characteristics, but in addition, the manufacturer has equipped the device with a module for work in high-speed mobile Internet 4G networks.

7-inch devices in the company's lineup are also several. For example, X-Pad Hit. On this tablet teXet 7-inch screen installed for good reason - the concept of the model is such that it has mediocre technical characteristics (for example, 512 MB of RAM). Nevertheless, due to the compact size and mobile nature, the tablet is easy to use. Say, for reading books or surfing.

Additional modules

Of course, in addition to the quality of the image on the device and its reaction speed, an important role is played also by various additional modules. It can be, for example, a camera. Most tablets are equipped with a set of two cameras - front and main, whose resolution is 0.3 and 2 megapixels respectively. There are, however, special models. For example, for teXet 8 (the tablet is called X_force 8), the main camera has a 5-megapixel matrix; While another product from the company - Hit (it has already been mentioned) is equipped with only a front camera for "Skype" talks or "Selfie".

You can also pay attention to the number of supported SIM-cards and the presence of a 3G / LTE module. Regarding the first, it can be noted that some devices come with two SIM-cards (NaviPad TM-7049 3G). This allows you to save on traffic with the help of various shares, which can be used by both operators. Moreover, teXet has a module for receiving and transmitting calls. This allows you to use your computer as a telephone.

As for the support of work in wireless mobile networks, this may be indicated by the name of the tablet. For example, TM-1058 X-force 10 (3G) operates in the format of third-generation networks, while the more expensive model - X-pad Rapid 8 4G TM-8069 boasts performance in high-speed LTE networks.

Appearance and price

Undoubtedly, besides the technical features (3G support, the amount of RAM, the processor clock speed and the screen resolution of the device), it is also necessary to take into account the appearance of the device and its design. For this it is recommended to work with the tablet live: to hold it in your hands, to feel the texture of the case, its lines, bends. Since you will be in contact with the device quite often, it is necessary that this work is as comfortable as possible.

Also you should not forget about the price of the device. For example, if you want the most productive tablet teXet (3G, GSM-module, 2 SIM there must include) - then you can safely buy the most expensive of the devices, which by functionality clearly outperforms the others. And, on the contrary, if you need a device with a minimum set of functions - you can save on it by buying an X-Pad Hit for 3 thousand rubles.

Reviews

When choosing any device, an important consideration should be given to reviews that other customers left about it. So you can in a simplified form and without too much effort to find out what the device is, what problems can arise with it and how to avoid them. Regarding teXet products from buyers, reviews come different - and this is normal. Someone argues that the devices are buggy, someone is not satisfied with the new firmware of the teXet tablet, others note excessive heating and quick discharge of the model. People who have encountered problems describe them in detail in order to prevent their recurrence from other people in the future. And your task is to learn everything to the maximum extent.
