Young, but already managed to win the hearts of fans, the company has become widely known in the computer market due to the high quality of gadgets and their availability. Until recently, the brand's priorities were flash drives and MP3 players, distinguished by advanced functionality and high-quality assembly.
But the company did not focus on the “small”, although quite successful segment, launching its new and rather interesting product on the market - the Qumo Vega 8008W tablet, which managed to move many competitors, attracting users with its price and filling, moreover both hardware and software.
Let's try to figure out if the new gadget from Kumo is worth the money and if it has other advantages besides the price and filling. For a more loyal assessment of the product, the opinions of experts and feedback from the owners of the gadget were taken into account.
Package set
It is worth noting that the Qumo Vega 8008W is packaged in good faith: high-quality cardboard mixed with plastic is neatly rolled up in a thin vacuum film, that is, the gadget cannot be removed without violating the integrity of the package. Therefore, there is at least some guarantee that the device went on sale straight fromconveyor, and not from any test groups. After opening the box, you can see the following set:
- Tablet.
- Adapter for charging the device via a USB connector, which immediately implies the ability to connect to a computer.
- Relatively long cable with the same USB outputs.
- Manual in Russian.
- Warranty card.
The bundle is standard and quite acceptable for a budget tablet Qumo Vega 8008W. Owner reviews note not too detailed instructions for the gadget, but if there are any gaps in the manual, then there is always an alternative in the face of Yandex or Google.
Some, more expensive variations of the tablet may be equipped with a BT keyboard to fix the device. In addition to the usual QWERTY functionality, the panel can be transformed into a convenient platform for working like similar netbooks and ultrabooks.
Design
The appearance of the Qumo Vega 8008W is rather plain, but there are still a couple of interesting points. It shows some unique and elusive feature that other budget models are deprived of. There is no obvious imitation of venerable counterparts like Apple or Samsung, which most inexpensive gadgets “sick” with.
Qumo Vega 8008W has everything in its place: a good minimization of space around the screen perimeter, competent edging of controls, the absence of stylistic excesses - everything is in moderation, so the design can be called neat and stylish.
Assembly
The case looks monolithic and competentassembled. The slots are evenly spaced around the entire perimeter of the tablet, and no backlashes were found. Pressing the buttons occurs without visible effort and with a good response. The back cover of the Qumo Vega 8008W, under which the battery is located, is made of high-quality and fairly durable plastic.
Each slot that the gadget has is marked with its own designation, so you won't be able to confuse buttons and connectors. The location of the rear camera is accentuated by a peculiar and eye-pleasing style. The surface of the device has a matte finish, so it is quite difficult to leave fingerprints, and the gadget does not collect dust and dirt so actively.
The back of the Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb Win 8 tablet is marked with operating system version marks and the company logo, which are quite expected and look appropriate. As for the type of battery, standard icons, copyrights and nominal voltage, then they are clearly superfluous and not needed at all.
Another interesting feature of the Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb is separate sockets for micro-USB and a charging adapter, which gives you additional control over your gadget: you can use external devices while connecting the tablet to the network. Users speak very warmly about this feature in their comments to the gadget.
Display
The Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb Win 8 tablet is equipped with a high-quality and well-proven IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels with a diagonal of 8 inches. Pixel saturation is not that greatas we would like, but it does not strain the eyes - 189 ppi.
The screen conveys clear tones and has rich colors, and viewing angles, thanks to a modern matrix, deserve all praise, so you can watch videos or photos with friends without any problems. Illumination over the entire area passes evenly without differences in the corners or the central part of the matrix, which is also pleasing.
Performance Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb Win 8
A review of similar gadgets showed that the full version of Windows 8 is a rather serious test for a mobile device. But, oddly enough, our respondent coped with the task perfectly, "eating" the operating system without even choking.
The well-established Atom Z3735F processor from Intel and the video module represented by HD Graphics do not allow the device to stop, applications work smartly, clearly and confidently. The only thing that the owners of the gadget note in their reviews as a significant minus is the sleep mode. After the tablet “falls asleep” for a few minutes, if you then “wake it up”, it responds for too long, besides, it is likely that after the next exit from sleep the video card may not turn on or the battery charging sensor will stop working. Therefore, you have to turn off the device completely and start it again. We hope that the company will soon fix this issue with firmware patches.
Another unpleasant moment is the CPU load during idle time,i.e. the battery is gradually discharged at a rate of 5% per hour of the total charge.
Multimedia
The sound quality, both with speakers and headphones, is excellent. Even if you use a Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb tablet with built-in speakers, they do not wheeze at maximum volume, and the sound does not turn into a cacophony. The rest of the possibilities have more or less acceptable performance.
- movies are viewed in stutter-free HD resolution with good color saturation and excellent viewing angles;
- during games, FPS stays within the normal range (30-50 fps), shader processing is at a high level, saturation of the application with objects is within 70%;
- working with documents and graphic applications does not cause any complaints.
It can also be noted that the BT device connected to the gadget works as intended, which is very pleasing. Communication over wireless protocols has no perceptible delays even over long distances.
In their reviews, the owners note the presence of such a useful function as displaying an image on the screen of a large device using Wi-Fi protocols, which makes the tablet a good help in multimedia entertainment.
Camera
The rear and front cameras of the device have the same characteristics and practically do not differ from each other. Both are equipped with a resolution of 2 megapixels, which, judging by user reviews, is clearly not enough for normal operation. Nevertheless, you can talk on Skype and make yourself avatars without any problems, and for many more than that.need.
The picture itself in the same Skype is transmitted clearly and smoothly, so there were no problems with the video matrix either.
Work offline
The device is equipped with a relatively productive 5000 mAh battery, and with an average workload, the tablet is enough for the whole day (music, a couple of movies, a text editor, reading books, web surfing).
If you actively use wireless protocols and load the processor with games and graphics tasks, then the battery will last about five hours. It is also worth considering the peculiarity of lithium-polymer batteries: the lower the ambient temperature, the higher the energy consumption. Therefore, working in cold rooms for a long time will not work.
In general, for a quad-core processor of a relatively powerful video card and a modern matrix, the gadget has a good battery life, unlike similar competitors.
Summing up
As a result, you can list the main advantages and disadvantages of the model, and everyone will decide for himself whether it is worth buying a gadget or it is better to save up for a more expensive modification.
Dignity:
- design has neat and stylish features, gives the impression of a solid and reliable gadget;
- display has rich colors, good viewing angles and smart backlight;
- device produces high-quality sound even on stock speakers;
- easy and confident synergy with external BT-devices and headsets (keyboard, player, mouse);
- output any image to a third-party device via Wi-Fi protocol;
- problem-free operation of the Windows operating system on the current configuration of the gadget;
- separate connectors for charging and working with other devices.
Flaws:
- battery life could be longer: I want games and the Internet, not "readers" and music;
- Dependence of the full-fledged operation of the gadget on the ambient temperature: cold - the battery runs out, hot - the processor heats up.
Based on the totality of all its characteristics, the gadget is perfect for those people who are set to work, not to play. An excellent matrix will not allow you to get confused in small fonts, and communications will always show confident work. Gamers will like the processor's capabilities and stable FPS at medium settings. Well, for those who like to communicate only in social networks and use the tablet as a "reader" or "watcher", it is better to find a simpler gadget, since you will not use it at full capacity anyway.
The price of the device on popular Internet sites fluctuates around 10,000 rubles.
