Today there is at least one family that does not have a tablet? Not! After all, the tablet is convenient and easy to manage. You can take it with you to read a book or watch a movie on the way to work. It can also be installed in the kitchen as a TV to watch whatever your heart desires while cooking or doing other kitchen chores.
The world's population has drastically reduced purchases of small TVs and replaced them with tablets. Therefore, each manufacturer of television equipment, supporting the current trend, releases its own line of tablets. The company Global Satellite ("Global Satellite"), occupying a solid niche in the production of digital satellite equipment, introduced a new tablet GS700.
Global Satellite
GS Group is a diversified manufacturer of satellite set-top boxes and mobile equipment. Being practically a monopolist in the satellite television market, in order to confirm their status, the corporation's specialists simply had torelease a compact device, such as a phone or tablet.
Following Huawei's lead, Global Satellite launches the GS700 tablet in 2014. Its peculiarity is that it is a TV tablet. The prefix "tele" indicates that thanks to this device you can access all the channels included in the Tricolor TV satellite television service package for free and watch the broadcast as part of your home Wi-Fi without limits.
Telephone is not just a tablet
Each buyer at the first inspection will ask a question, can it be used as a tablet? The whole point of the device is that its owner is not dependent on a fixed plasma screen and can watch any channel online. In this way, the number of moments that are missed due to "a five-minute absence at …" will be significantly reduced, because you can always take a mini TV with you everywhere.
The answer to the question will be: "Yes!". The GS700 tablet is a full-fledged device running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. It can connect to any available Wi-Fi network without issue. Android has access to the Google Market, where you can download and install all the necessary applications. The only difference from a regular tablet is the TV output, and only through a home device (set-top box, receiver, etc.).
Key Features
The weight of the tablet is a little over two hundred grams. Diagonal 7 '' with a resolution of 1024 by 600. Cameras 2 and 0.3 megapixels. quad coreprocessor MT8127, RAM - 1 GB, flash memory - 4 GB (up to 32 GB can be used), battery - 2800 mAh, USB 4.0 and HDMI connectors, and Google Services.
As you can see, the GS700 tablet has very good specifications. The price recommended by the manufacturer should not exceed 4000 rubles. It has a fairly diverse tablet GS700 reviews. The price for it during the campaign can be reduced to 2 thousand rubles. The same cost today for similar devices. The only difference will be the amount of RAM (other manufacturers have 512 MB).
Device Features
The GS700 tablet has a lot to offer with its impressive specifications. The very first is a powerful processor capable of handling the most complex requests. Compared to other tablets, not all are available with USB 4.0 today. In addition, more RAM significantly speeds up the already excellent performance of the tablet.
7-inch diagonal is the most convenient size for a mobile device to keep it mobile and not stationary. Such a diagonal allows you to pick up a keyboard for a modest fee and turn the tablet into a netbook or transformer.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the HDMI connector. With it, you can display a picture from a tablet on a large screen (TFT, plasma or diode monitors). Therefore, the GS700 tablet is a great assistant to a business person.
Flaws
I would like tobypass these points, but the buyer must know about them in order to make a choice consciously. Buyers say that it has only one "thin spot" - the battery. In standby mode, it can work for a very long time, but at full power - no more than 5 hours.
You should pay attention to the fact that a powerful processor and a lack of RAM (at least 2 GB is needed for a quad-core device) can slow down the tablet's processes while running several applications at the same time. Running up to 3 applications will not overload the memory and will allow the device to work as quickly as possible. The screen resolution is still not as high as we would like. Of course, the IPS-matrix provides the most accurate color reproduction, but 1024 by 600 pixels is very small to carefully consider the details, especially on a 7-inch screen. Despite this, many buyers praised the picture and were pleased with the HD TV experience.
How to connect?
Almost everyone knows how to connect a GS700 tablet to their receiver. A very colorful and clear instruction in pictures is posted on the official website of the GS Group. Instructions for setting up the Internet and television are also available for download.
To connect, just follow a few simple steps:
- You need to make sure that the GS E501 server (E502 onwards) and Wi-Fi router are connected and configured according to the manufacturer's recommended settings.
- You need to install (or update,if already installed) "Play. Tricolor".
- Connect to a wireless network (its name in this case will match the server name).
- The tablet will automatically “pull up” all the settings. After that, you can launch the TV viewer program without hesitation.
Will the manufacturer replace the firmware?
The GS700 tablet, whose firmware is KitKat, has another drawback. KitKat only allows installation of applications on the built-in media, not on an additional microSD. As a result, we get a limited number of installed applications. For some, this will be completely uncritical, but if a person is a gamer, this can become a serious drawback.
Many people who know how to code root. They say it's very easy. But the majority still hopes that General Satellite will fix this problem in the near future.
Reviews
The owners of devices of this model claim that the tablet is really of high quality. Moreover, its price category is another advantage. The functionality is decent, the processor is not bad. Of the minuses, buyers note that the battery needs improvement. In general, a decent model.
Buy or not?
Before you make a purchase, you should decide what you need the device for. If you need it as a tablet, without a TV, then you will not find the best for such an affordable price. If you have a Tricolor TV connection, then you shouldn’t even think, but take it. A tablet will always come in handy because itfunctions are far from limited to one TV.
For many who bought this tablet, it was critical that it discharges very quickly (much faster than it is regulated by the manufacturer). Obviously, the GS700 is the best value for money.
And how can you solve the problem of fast battery discharge? Very simple! You can buy an inexpensive and simplest external battery for 5000 mAh. This will allow you to make the most of this compact device throughout the day. Agree, this is a huge advantage, which, unfortunately, is not in the factory, it gives a huge number of opportunities, for example, to watch movies all day long.
Before you all the cards are revealed, so buy or not - the choice is yours. We hope that the above material was useful to you. Good luck and good mood!
