Four years ago, a tablet could determine a person's we alth and approximate income. They were expensive, and the range was small. The products of only well-known manufacturers of mobile gadgets were then found on the shelves. But over time, tablets have become more accessible, and today it is already one of the essential attributes of modern comfortable life. Now you can count more than a thousand manufacturers that produce these devices.
The situation in our country is not at all the same as in the whole world. The most popular tablets in Russia are those that have a relatively low price. For this reason, giants such as Samsung and Apple occupy a minimal market segment, and cheap "Chinese" sell like hot cakes. One of these is the Megafon Login 3 tablet, the reviews and specifications of which we will consider today.
Specifications
Usually, the lowest priced tablets are purchased by caring parents for their children. And this is understandable, because it’s not a pity to let them “slaughter”: you won’t lose too much money, but there will be at least some benefit. Also, cheap devices can often be seen as a working tool for couriers, freight forwarders and people on a business trip. Naturally, this is done because of the low cost. In case of loss or damage to the device is not so sorry.
Judging by what the Megafon Login 3 tablet received customer reviews, we can say that this gadget, in addition to its low cost, is also quite functional. Let's take a look at its specifications to make sure.

Judging by the technical characteristics, the Megafon Login 3 tablet should deserve good reviews from the owners. And this is understandable, because it can be purchased for only 1990rubles. I would like to note a very important feature in the form of the ability to write SMS and make calls via GSM communication. At its core, our tablet is a simple smartphone that has a seven-inch screen. But now even a weak budget gadget for such a price is hard to find, but here for 2000 rubles you can get two in one. In general, this decision of the company is a huge plus.
Package
The tablet comes in a thick cardboard box with a printed characteristic color. The cover shows the tablet itself and its name. Brief technical specifications are painted on the sides, which the Megafon Login 3 tablet can boast of. It received good reviews regarding the packaging itself. Everything seems solid and solid.
Opening the lid, we will see a small seven-inch gadget, which lies neatly in a special recess. It is packed in a protective transport film, which guarantees the integrity of the device. Under the stand are documents, a warranty, a USB cable for connecting to a computer and a network adapter, and the adapter itself. Unfortunately, the headset is not included in the standard set. But the Megafon Login 3 tablet would have received the same reviews even if it was available.
Appearance
If you do not look at the price of the tablet, which clearly demonstrates its budget, then at first glance it looks quite prestigious. The reason for this is the presence of an aluminum back cover, which is surrounded by plastic on the sides. Also very pleased with the assembly of the gadget. Nothing creaks herestaggers. True monolithic construction. Let's take a closer look at the Megafon Login 3 tablet, reviews, photos of all the main external elements.
Plastic on the sides is poor quality, but it has an oleophobic coating and does not get dirty as quickly. As for the front panel, everything here is done in gloss. The factory protective film is practically useless, and users immediately change it to a more reliable purchase option.
Let's look at what the Megafon Login 3 tablet has reviews and appearance characteristics in more detail. So, the front panel is almost completely occupied by the touch screen. On the sides, if you hold the tablet in landscape orientation, there is a fairly wide bezel. It is slightly narrower at the top and bottom. Users note that this solution allows you to hold the tablet in a vertical orientation with one hand and at the same time the sensor cannot be accidentally touched.
If you hold the tablet vertically, then above the screen, near the speaker, is the front camera. There is nothing else on the front panel. All soft keys are touch-sensitive and located on the display.
The Megafon Login 3 tablet (photo of the back side, see above) demonstrates in all its glory the available peephole of the main camera at 3.2 megapixels, the inscription of the manufacturer's company and the call speaker. Its volume is decent, but when the volume is set to above average, it starts to produce a poor quality, raucous sound.
The top end has a special plastic plug. Under it are hidden slots underSIM cards and microSD flash drive. MicroUSB output, headphone jack and reset button are located nearby. In principle, judging by user reviews, these elements do not create discomfort in using the gadget.
The left edge contains the off and lock button. Hidden underneath is a volume rocker. Frankly, the left-hand arrangement of these important buttons is rather unusual. Usually the off button itself is on top, but the manufacturer decided to break all stereotypes and monotony. The Megafon Login 3 tablet would have had better reviews if it were not for such courage of the developers. Naturally, you can get used to the left-hand layout of the buttons, but when you pick up this device for the first time, you start to get a little lost.
The right edge has no function keys. The bottom edge has only a microphone for talking.
In general, this tablet makes a mostly good impression. Naturally, there are some downsides. But a state employee cannot be perfect.
Display
Megafon Login 3 tablet, which we are reviewing, has a small screen with a diagonal of 7 inches. It is made on the basis of an IPS matrix with a fairly good resolution of 600x1024 pixels. It is worth noting that due to the use of high-quality components, the screen itself has very large viewing angles and practically does not fade when they change. But due to the use of a special coating in some modes, working with the tablet is uncomfortable.
In bright sunshinelighting information on the screen is almost imperceptible. This, of course, is a minus of the low contrast of the image. The lack of a light sensor is a little depressing, and the brightness is only manually adjusted.
In general, in comparison with other gadgets of a similar price category, the Megafon Login 3 has a good screen.
As for the sensor, it is capacitive here. Responds well to touch and can support up to five points at the same time.
Software
The normal operation of the tablet is ensured by the latest version of the Android OS at the time of release. In appearance, it is completely similar to the classic tablet operating system. The right menu provides the ability to customize quick access to applications and functions yourself.
It is also possible to work with several desktops at once in screen lock mode. It is recommended to place shortcuts on them for exactly those applications that are most often used. At the same time, the speed of their launch increases significantly.
Preinstalled software
Let's look at the main "wired" software that the Megafon Login 3 tablet has. Reviews of those who have already tried this gadget are not very encouraging. The fact is that instead of the standard programs that come with a clean OS, a lot of unnecessary junk is installed here. Most users delete them right away, becauselittle benefit from these programs. Instead, they install more functional software, but in smaller quantities. The GooglePlay client, which the manufacturer did not think of removing, relieves the situation a little.
Multimedia
The multimedia capabilities of the tablet are not too amazing. Everything is standard here. It will not be difficult to replace those that the Megafon Login 3 tablet already has with new and more functional video and audio players. Reviews and characteristics of these programs are not particularly encouraging. In particular, a standard video player does not read all formats and encodes audio a bit "tightly". In addition to the video player, there is an image viewer. There are no other multimedia programs here. For this reason, their installation lies on the shoulders of users.
Cameras
The shooting quality of the main camera at 3.2 megapixels also did not please those who purchased the Megafon Login 3 tablet. We will not review its capabilities in detail. We can only say that the camera does not have autofocus and flash. Pictures of normal quality in good lighting can be obtained. But it's still not something you can watch on the big screen in the future.
The front camera also does not shine with image quality. It is used to make video calls and for this reason it has not received much criticism from users due to its functional purpose.
Filling
The "heart" of the Megafon Login 3 tablet is a dual-core processor with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz. For a state employeethis indicator is good. 1 GB of RAM ensures a normal response when launching applications. Naturally, the Megafon Login 3 tablet received quite good performance reviews. The fact is that few people expected such a "nimble" reaction from him.
Internal memory is very small here. But thanks to the ability to expand it with a flash drive up to 32 GB, the problem itself disappears.
Offline mode
The battery capacity in this tablet is 3500 mAh. Together with an energy-efficient chipset, it allows the gadget to work offline for about a day with an average usage activity. To be honest, this is a very good indicator, and the Megafon Login 3 tablet received positive reviews from users about how it holds a charge.
It was noted: if you just look through the mail and correspond in instant messengers, then the battery life can reach 4 days. Agree, this is a very good indicator.
Conclusions
Tablet Megafon Login 3 generally received good reviews. This result was achieved due to the fact that no one expected functionality from a budget employee of the lower price category. And this is true, because it is not always possible to get a smartphone that you can call and a tablet at a price slightly below 2000 rubles at the same time. The manufacturer let us down a little with the arrangement of the keys and the contrast of the display, but these are already trifles.
