Overview of the game console multimedia Exeq Set 2: characteristics, features and reviews

The market of portable game consoles is stagnating, most of the participants of the segment have slowly and quietly left it. This is primarily true of Sony with its notorious PSP and other little-known companies. The same companies that are still trying to break into this niche, are held only at the expense of a huge loyal audience and high-profile gaming projects, exclusive for the released gadgets. In the iPad era, such highly targeted solutions are doomed to failure, and their place will be occupied by cheap and affordable devices, such as the EXEQ Set 2 game console.

Market positioning

Just worth noting that the monitored gadget is not some kind of unique development. EXEQ Set 2 generally does not differ much from the classic budget smartphone based on Android. The main difference is the case, similar to the compact game consoles of famous manufacturers, as well as a number of software and hardware features that still deserve special attention. In a greater degree, the overview of the EXEQ Set 2 is aimed at those who are not too biased about gaming gadgets or take a toy to a child.

Equipment

This console, as well as other models of the series, comes in a compact white box. In addition to the console itself, you can also find:

  • Charger (using a power supply with an atypical connector, but it is not necessary to use the unit).
  • Cable from USB to mini-USB (used both for recharging, and for synchronizing data with a computer).
  • Inexpensive stereo headset.
  • USB On The Go cable for connecting additional peripherals (keyboard, mouse or gamepad).
  • Instructions for using the device and other documentation.

Housing, materials

  • Dimensions: 85 by 190 by 15 millimeters.
  • Weight: 232 grams.

Here, without any frills, visually the gadget differs little from other similar devices, including PlayStation Portable. The console comes in two colors: white and black. Both versions have a glossy plastic surface that will collect the background, prints and many small scratches. After a couple of trips in a backpack with other things, the console will quickly lose its presentable appearance. The gadget has grooves on the side faces for a more comfortable grip in the "game position".

Control elements, housing parts

Most of the front panel is occupied by a display. On the left side are: analogies stick, four arrow buttons for moving in games. Two indicators are located above the joystick. One of the indicators is responsible for displaying the presence of power (it is lit even if the display is off), the second indicator indicates whether the charger is connected. On the right side of the console there is another analog stick to control the camera and four buttons for performing various actions in the games. Also on the device there is a main camera for fans to capture the moment and the front camera for communication via Skype and its analogs.

On the top of the device are concentrated all the wire interfaces and system keys, including:

  • Power button.
  • Reset button to factory settings (activated with a special staple).
  • Connector for mini-USB.
  • Connector for mini-HDMI (with the adapter you can connect the prefix to a TV or a modern monitor).
  • Two headphone jacks (you can listen to music or watch a movie together).
  • Keys for volume control.

On the lower edge of the device is a slot for memory cards. The lateral faces are empty.

Display

The prefix is equipped with a display based on a Twisted Nematic + Film matrix. In themselves, TN-matrices are not of high quality. The brightness margin suffers, the color fading is fuzzy, the viewing angles are not maximum. But the prefix Film is not just that - it's an additional layer used to increase the viewing angle to 150 degrees. In general, provided that the user will spend most of the time in games, these characteristics are enough. With long reading, web surfing or watching movies, this display will cause unpleasant emotions (especially in comparison with the same iPad and other devices with Full HD displays). The diagonal of the display is 5 inches, and its resolution is 800 by 480 p, which makes the picture grainy, and the stand-alone pixels are very noticeable. As a coating, plastic is used instead of glass, so working with the touch panel, subjectively, is uncomfortable. But it can positively affect the resistance to shocks.

Of the pluses, it is worth highlighting the "zero" depth of the display. Unlike many other gadgets, where the display is recessed into the case, in EXEQ Set 2 it is located on a level with it, which positively affects the perception of the played content (especially games).

CPU

Portable game console EXEQ Set 2 comes with the Cortex A9 chipset. There are two cores, the frequency of each of them is 1500 megahertz. In general, the performance is enough to run simple games. More complex, such as Asphalt 8 or Dead Trigger 2, also work, but the frame rate often falls below the norm. Sluggish brakes and "lags" are noticeable in many serious projects developed for Android. In classical games, such are not observed.

Memory

Under the hood of this baby, it was possible to detect only 1 gigabyte of RAM that even for smooth operation of the operating system is not enough, what can I say about working under load.

The amount of main memory is only 8 gigabytes, but the situation can be fixed by installing a memory card in the device. It can store games that run through the emulator and various media content (cards up to 32 gigabytes are supported).

Autonomy

In the console is a capacious battery, the volume of which was 2800 milliampere-hours. On a full-fledged game day it will not be possible to stretch it, but it will be possible to kill a couple of hours on the road or at home. When working on the Internet or reading, the operating time from one charge can be extended to 6-7 hours.

Software component, gaming capabilities

And here is the most interesting part of the console. The gadget runs on the basis of the fourth generation Android operating system. It is thanks to a sufficiently fresh version of the platform that the manufacturer managed to achieve high smoothness of operation in the system itself. No visual and software changes were made, the "clean" Android, but pre-installed a lot of emulators and games from the Google Play Market.

On the hard drive of the console you can find emulators of old game consoles, such as: NES, GBA, Nintendo DS, PlayStation One and PSP. Yes, yes, you can play in such hits as Crash Banicoot or Dino Crisis, wiping away the tears caused by memories from your youth. These games do not need to be installed, all that is needed to run them is to download an image (of which there are many on the Web) to the device and enable the appropriate emulator. Thanks to this approach, an inexpensive portable console can easily replace expensive solutions like those manufactured by Sony or Nintendo.

You can also install games from the Google Play Market. Most of the modern gaming projects are supported by the gadget, and those that use touch controls can be reconfigured to physical bodies with the help built into the EXEQ Set 2 utilities.

Among other things, the console supports all modern standards of video and audio (including audio files without loss of quality), as well as the most popular formats of electronic books.

Reviews

The opinion of the user regarding EXEQ Set 2 is divided. Many believe that for their money, the prefix repels all the needs of the average user. People appreciated the rich possibilities of the console to launch classic games. They praise the quality assembly and convenient physical control keys. Also there was a taste for the display, located on a level with the body of the gadget.

Of course, without pluses there are no minuses, there were many dissatisfied. Firstly, the device does not support SIM-cards, which greatly limits the capabilities of the Android platform. Secondly, many were dissatisfied with the complexity of launching games created for other consoles, and their performance, since the games for the PlayStation are very slow, and sometimes even "take off".

Some users encountered a marriage. For example, the prefix did not read the memory card (even the supported volume). Or with problems when connecting to a computer. EXEQ Set 2 does not turn on after making changes on some SD cards using a PC.

Instead of concluding

Expecting something supernatural from a device from the lowest price category is stupid. Especially from the console based on Android, where the word "console" is only a similar case. This is not a console from famous brands, developed by professional engineers and, with love to business, perfected to the smallest detail. This device is aimed at ordinary consumers who do not want to give serious money for entertainment, not very versed in technologies that choose from what is easier and more affordable. The product does not meet all the criteria described in the advertising leaflets and on the official website. On the other hand, what is it worth to ask for a gadget for 4500 rubles? He launches modern games from the Google Play Market, he goes online, shows a movie, he can run the game with the good old Sega and comfortably give himself up nostalgia on the way to work. Therefore, strictly judge the manufacturer is not worth it, the solution will find its consumer and will surely give a lot of happy minutes to the owners of EXEQ Set 2. Buy a prefix in Moscow only at a used market, official sales are suspended due to the release of more advanced models.
