Qumo Vega 8008W tablet: description, specs, reviews

Young, but already managed to win the hearts of fans, the company has gained wide popularity in the computer market due to the high quality of gadgets and their accessibility. Prior to the brand until recently, there were flash drives and MP3 players that distinguished themselves with enhanced functionality and quality build.

But the company did not fixate itself on the "shallow", though rather successful segment, releasing to the market its new and quite interesting product - Qumo Vega 8008W tablet, which managed to move many competitors, attracting users with its price and stuffing, both hardware and Software.

Let's try to figure out whether the new gadget from "Kumo" of its money and whether it has other advantages, except for the price and filling. For a more loyal evaluation of the product, the opinions of experts and feedback from the owners of the gadget were taken into account.

Contents of delivery

It should be noted that Qumo Vega 8008W is packaged on conscience: quality cardboard mixed with plastic is neatly rolled into a thin vacuum film, that is, the gadget can not be obtained without violating the integrity of the package. Therefore, there is at least some guarantee that the device went on sale straight from the assembly line, and not from any test groups. After opening the box, you can see the following set:

1. The tablet.
2. Adapter for charging the device via USB-connector, immediately implying the possibility of connection to the computer.
3. A relatively long cable with the same USB-outputs.
4. Manual in Russian.
5. Warranty card.

The package is standard and quite acceptable for the budget tablet Qumo Vega 8008W. The owners' comments indicate not too detailed instructions for the gadget, but if there are any gaps in the manual, there is always an alternative in the face of "Yandex" or "Google".

Some, more expensive variations of the tablet, can be equipped with a BT-keyboard to fix the device. In addition to the usual QWERTY-functional, 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 quite unattractive, but a couple of interesting moments are still available. In it one can see a unique and elusive feature that other budget models lack. There is no obvious imitation of venerable analogues like Apple or "Samsung", which "gets sick" most inexpensive gadgets.

Qumo Vega 8008W has everything in its place: a good minimization of space around the perimeter of the screen, competent edging of controls, lack of stylistic excesses - all in moderation, so the design can be called neat and stylish.

Assembly

The case looks monolithic and competently assembled. Slots are evenly distributed around the entire perimeter of the tablet, and no backlashes are detected. Pressing the buttons takes place with no apparent effort and with good response. The back cover of Qumo Vega 8008W, under which the battery is located, is made of high-quality and sufficiently durable plastic.

Each nest that the gadget has is marked with its designation, so it's not possible to mix up the buttons and connectors. The location of the back camera is accented with a peculiar and pleasant on the eye stylistics. The surface of the device has a matte coating, so fingerprints are difficult to leave, and dust with a dirt gadget is not actively collecting.

The back of the tablet Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb Win 8 is marked with marks about the version of the operating system and the company logo, which are quite expected and appropriate to look. As for the type of battery, standard icons, copyright and nominal voltage, then they are clearly superfluous and completely unnecessary.

Another interesting feature of the Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb is the separate sockets for the micro USB and the adapter for charging, which provides additional control options for the gadget: you can use external devices while connecting the tablet to the network. On this feature, users respond very warmly in their comments to the gadget.

Display

Tablet Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb Win 8 is equipped with a quality and well-proven IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1280 by 800 points with a diagonal of 8 inches. The pixel density is not as great as we would like, but my eyes do not bother - 189 ppi.

The screen clearly transmits tones and has rich colors, and the viewing angles, thanks to the modern matrix, deserve all praise, so you can watch videos or photos with friends without problems. Illumination over the entire area passes uniformly 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 has shown that the full version of "Windows 8" is quite a serious test for a mobile device. But, strangely enough, our respondent coped well with the task, "eating" the operating system, without even choking.

The well-proven Atom Z3735F processor from Intel and the video module in the face of HD Graphics do not allow the device to stop, applications work smartly, clearly and confidently. The only thing that the owners of the gadget mention in their reviews as a weighty minus is the sleep mode. After the tablet "falls asleep" for a few minutes, if it is then "woken up", it responds too long, besides, there is a high probability 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 matter with patches in the firmware.

Another unpleasant moment is the CPU load at the time of idle time, that is, the battery is gradually discharged at a rate of 5% per hour from the total charge.

Multimedia

The sound quality, both with speakers, and in headphones, at a height. Even if you use a Qumo Vega 8008W 32Gb tablet with built-in speakers, at maximum volume they do not wheeze and the sound does not go into cacophony. The rest of the possibilities have more or less acceptable indicators.

• Movies are viewed in HD-resolution without jerking with good color saturation and excellent viewing angles;
• During games, the FPS is kept within the norm (30-50 fps), shader processing at a high level, saturation of the application with objects - within 70%;
• Work with documents and graphics applications does not cause any complaints.

Also it can be noted that the BT device connected to the gadget works as it was intended, which is very encouraging. Communication over wireless protocols has no tangible delays, even at considerable distances.

Owners in their reviews note the presence of such a useful feature, as the output of the image on the screen of a large device using the protocols "Wai-Fai", which makes it a good help from the tablet 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 have a resolution of 2 megapixels, which, judging by the feedback of users, is clearly not enough for normal operation. Nevertheless, to talk on "Skype" and make yourself avatars can be without problems, but for many more, and do not.

The very picture in the same "Skype" is transmitted clearly and smoothly, so there were no problems with the video matrix either.

Autonomous work

The device is equipped with a relatively productive battery for 5000 mAh, and with an average load of the tablet is enough for a 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 necessary to take into account the peculiarity of lithium-polymer batteries: the lower the ambient temperature, the higher the energy consumption. Therefore, it will not work for a long time in cold rooms.

In general, for a quad-core processor of a comparative powerful video card and a modern matrix, the gadget has a good battery life, unlike similar competitors.

Summarizing

As a result, you can list the main advantages and disadvantages of the model, and each will decide for himself whether it is worth buying a gadget or better for a more expensive modification.

Pluses:

• The design has neat and stylish features, it looks like a solid and reliable gadget;
• The display has rich colors, good viewing angles and intelligent backlighting;
• The device produces a high-quality sound even on standard speakers;
• Easy and confident synergy with external BT-devices and headsets (keyboard, player, mouse);
• Output any image to a third-party device through the "Wai-Fay" protocol;
• Trouble-free operation of the operating system "Windows" on the current configuration of the gadget;
• Separate connectors for charging and working with other devices.

Disadvantages:

• The battery life could be more: I want games and the Internet, and not "chitalok" and music;
• The dependence of the full performance of the gadget on the ambient temperature: cold - the battery sits down, the processor warms up hotly.

By the totality of all its characteristics, the gadget will perfectly suit those people who are set to work, and not to games. An excellent matrix will not let you get confused in small fonts, and communications will always show a confident job. Fans of games like the processor and stable FPS on average settings. But for those who like to communicate only in social networks and use the tablet as a "reading room" or "watchman", it is better to find a gadget easier, since you will not use it at full capacity.

The price of the device on popular Internet sites fluctuates around 10 000 rubles.
