Huawei Ideos S7 SLIM review: "Seven" for pensioners
By calling Huawei Ideos S7 by the word "slim" (thin), Chinese comrades clearly got excited. Although its thickness is a formal 12 mm, with a weight of 400 grams and rather rounded sides, they are already somehow not felt. The tablet looks pretty bulky, and after thin and elegant sAMSUNG models last generation ( Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, Samsung Galaxy Tab. 7.7) This impression is only enhanced. But we will be fair, in our price niche, the tablet acts on equal.
Huawei Ideos S7 Slim
Front S7 looks like all other tablets and is not enough. The glossy black screen, to the right of which there are three touch buttons ("Home", "Menu" and "Back" - as in Sony Ericsson, in Huawei it was prudently got rid of the "Search" button), and on the left - the front camera lens and the lighting sensor . The plastic body of white and the center-running rear is quite wide metallic (or metallized) band, which divides the body into two unequal parts. Under the removable lower part there is a battery and a slot for the SIM card, but under the top there is nothing at all that could somehow remove or move: why did they do it at all, remains a mystery. But we must admit that from the point of view of the design "BEK" turned out to be pretty cute.
The tablet provides the ability to connect the station dock
On the left end there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo-speaking and volume swing. For some reason, the location of the latter was quite uncomfortable - to the touch to find a swing at first it does not work. In the lower end, a proprietary interface connector with a magnetic fastening for the docking station is located (Hi Apple Magsafe) and a slot for hot Micro-SD cards. With right side, you can detect Micro-USB and Mini-HDMI connectors, as well as the second stereo speakers. From above - the power button and hole for the power adapter plug.
Epic Fail.
The biggest and tangible minus of this model is the screen. If you read our (including preliminary), they already noticed that slowly began to acquire screens with enough high resolution: from 1024x600 (budget) to 1280x768 (premium). And the strange thing to see even in the new, although budget tablet Today, the screen with a resolution of 480x800, which is typical today more smartphonesthan tablets.
Screen indicators leave to desire better
You can recall the annual limit with the almost the same screen - and make an emphasis on the word "annual". Peace information technologies It is not standing on the spot, and to offer in 2011 to spoiled consumer technologies of one and a half years ago for the price of today - the unforgivable miscalculation for engineers of one of major producers Electronics.
Another minus is completely imperceptible without backlighting the touch buttons to the right of the screen. You can find them in the dark only if you get used to the gadget, but first the user will definitely be confused.
And the last minus - viewing angles. They are very small, and the tablet, located at an angle, loses all its paints. In defense of the screen, you can say only that it is not the worst from the point of view of tactile sensations: the sensitivity of him is enough high levelAlthough with more modern displays it certainly does not compare.
Set of standard connectors
We disassemble the bones
The first impression of the tablet, as you already guessed, was not the most pleasant. Let's see now that it can offer Huawei IDEOS S7 SLIM in terms of performance.
The "fiery motor" of the novelties is a well-known and inexpensive single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a frequency of 1 GHz. RAM - 512 MB, internal - 8 GB, there is also a slot of expansion for Micro-SD cards, which has already been mentioned above.
Tablet memory extension tools familiar to many users
Wireless communication provides Bluetooth 2.1 protocols with EDR, WiFi (802.11 A / B / G / N), GPS module with AGPS, as well as 3G, EDGE, HSDPA and HSUPA standards. The latter should be noted as a weighty plus tablet - even today, not all "state employees" have the ability to install SIM-cards. The device has 2 cameras - rear three-megapixel and front with a resolution of 0.3 mp.
The battery at the gadget is removable, with a capacity of 3250 mAh. This is enough for about a month and a half in the mode of medium intensity (games, applications, navigation, video, music). If you like to watch movies on the road, the battery will be discharged faster.
By the way, about recharging. For nutrition, a separate, monstation type is a multifunction cable consisting of three cables ending with one full-format USB port. The solution is low-prolonged, but having its advantages - if you like to take with you a journey of gadgets, the functional charging from S7 will serve good service. Contrary to popular belief, the tablet can be recharged from the computer via the USB port, but this happens so slowly (literally less than 10% of the charge per hour), which is better not to do this. This is definitely worth attributing to advantages, because Nearest competitors are not charged from PCs at all. In the case of S7, this feature is implemented rather to maintain the charge than for a full charge. But it is necessary to scold for the length of the Micro-USB cable, it is not a short one - only 17 cm.
Not every tablet boasts a removable battery
Interface
Usually interfaces for mobile operating systems still retain some features of the original. In the case of S7, we are dealing with a very serious alteration, and you can even say that there are little from the original. This tablet is sharply different from the IDEOS X5 smartphone, where there were no branded interface at all.
To begin with, we mention that the Huawei gadget works on Android version 2.2, for which it can be scolded. But with the corporate shell, for which, in general, not sin and praise.
Main page widgets in Tesne, but not insulted
Take at least the traditional main menu window. In the usual Android is proposed, as a rule, from one to seven main windows, which the user can add shortcuts and widgets. There is also a permanent group of labels at the bottom of the screen. In the S7, the main window was slightly converted and presented it with five groups: basic, Internet, entertainment, communication and favorites. Each of these labels offers to work with two windows belonging to its type. That is, only two windows are appointed for ordinary shortcuts and widgets. And in fact, it is 10 conventional Android windows, divided into thematic areas, in each of which you can place any shortcuts and widgets. No one prevents the browser label, let's say, in "Entertainment". Places enough for everything. Even despite the fact that branded widgets occupy each window each.
If you go through the windows further, then in the Internet group on the first window two widget is pre-installed: news from Yahoo and bookmarks on the main Western services: Google, Picasa, Yahoo and MSN. The next window is the main labels on the Internet applications. The group of "Entertainment" labels offers two large widget of the music application and videos in the first window, the second window is completely given under the gallery.
On the group of Labels "Communication" need to be stopped in more detail, because here we are dealing with a branded application for email Emotion. "COMPANY" in this case Does not mean that you will need to start a account in some proprietary postal system: it is pre-installed mail clientwhich allows you to check mail and write new letters in any mailer (provided you know all the necessary POP3, SMTP servers and others). Also, this group allows you to write SMS, call (!), Using stereo speakers (or headphones) and microphone and manage the notebook. In general, the tablet tried to make a bulky phone.
The last group of labels "Favorites" offers two large widget - calendar and planner.
Application set complies with Android OS standards
The other was the status panel from above. The clock was moved to the left corner, the right remained traditional icons, except one - with the letter I. When you click on this icon, the control window of the wireless interfaces, auto-rotor and brightness of the screen with one button opens, the task manager lives in the right half of the window with the ability to complete any applications with one click "on the left - notifications.
Convenience and discomfort
Even a regular browser has been changed, and here it is necessary to praise developers, because it went the application only to benefit. What is sin, a corporate browser, which is equipped with android-based systems, extremely wet and very little offers the user. Even tabs can be opened no more than four. In the S7, the browser has acquired a status line at the bottom of the screen (and it does not include the address input line, which is located traditionally from above), which is constantly present and contains all the necessary information: open tabs, forward / back button, the opening button of the new tab (by the way, the tabs can be opened not 4, but as many as 11) and the menu call button with optional functions, access to bookmarks, time in digital format, etc.
Interface Android Market. The S7 differs from the standard, but it differs unexpectedly - it duplicates the market interface, which you could see when working on an "adult" PC. It is possible that this is it, and the developers of Huawei simply did not become bother with the rewarming of the standard interface in their own. And it is more dignity, because The interface turned out to be convenient and functional.
Unfortunately, additional settings are required to work on the network.
From the pre-installed branded applications, not counting the above widgets, it can be noted except that the "reader" Aldico. Although read on such a grain screen is quite uncomfortable ..
The main question is: and how comfortable to work with all this? Alas, not very. Stable keyboard named IME due to not very good screen It is pressed with difficulty, false gets are quite often, and the dictionary is very soot. Swype in the system is not pre-installed, and install it on top IME also failed. In general, the convenience of the keyboard on a ten-ball scale is pulling somewhere on a four.
Bilateral communication
Communication with a computer from IDEOS S7 SLIM is quite confused. First, when starting file Manager (Comes in the kit) It turned out that two Flash cards in the tablet: for one of them he takes his own gigabytes, and not everything, but only 4 GB, the rest of the volume (about 3.5 GB) is given under the system. The user card is displayed under the name SDCard2.
An uncomfortable sensory keyboard affects the speed of the user on the Internet
Secondly, when the first connection, it turns out that you need to install the drivers, and it is desirable to set the proprietary software called Hi-Suite, with which you can synchronize contacts, messages, view the list of applications (as well as delete them from PC), as well as screenshots . A quick look at the app gives a positive impression: nothing is buggy, everything is quite modest and efficiently done, all the functions work - and there are no complaints on Hi Suite. For this, the tablet gets its piece of cake.
Poison
Camera. That is the interface of the three-megapixel camera not changed at all, not to mention some improvements there. The camera can choose the size of the picture, quality, one of three effects, geotaging, white balance and four-time zoom. Which makes terrible pictures even worse.
Yes, alas, photography is not the strongest feature of the Huawei IDEOS S7 Slim. As well as video filming - for example, it is programmatically limited to thirty minutes, and from additional options there is only a choice of white balance and the same three effects. The quality of the photo leaves much to be desired, the autofocus is weak, the colors are faded, snapshots are fuzzy and blurred. And video - guess from three times - "Derganny".

Although video calls using the front camera can be. With all his bad quality, it turned out to be very shrine.
Outcome
If you summarize, the gadget turned out to be ambiguous. The weak screen (by the way, the speed of operation is due to the middle screen, a good processor and sufficient amount of RAM sufficiently high), a very high price (on average 11,000 rubles) and almost no set of branded applications. On the other hand, carefully recycled branded shell, an interesting solution with the charger (and the very possibility of recharging from the computer is expensive). Here you can add quality software package For synchronization with a desktop, an acceptable time autonomous work And interesting, variety of widgets. Huawei Ideos S7 Slim would have the right to the title "Hit", it appears on sale a year ago, or have it now price 1.5-2 times lower. However, with all that, he now has the right to commercial success, and we will not forget that in the class of inexpensive devices rarely anyone can release a flawless gadget.
IDEOS S7 SLIM is a compact tablet, equipped with a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 800 x 480. The device allows high-speed Internet access, watch movies, listen to music, browse news tapes, visit social networks And shopping in online stores.

Huawei Ideos S7 Slim :: Overview :: Impressions and conclusions
Completing the story about the device, it is worth looking at the time of autonomous operation of this device. C complete Li-ion battery Volume 3250 mA / h The device can hold out about 4 hours in video playback mode. On average, you need to charge the device every evening if you use various functions of the tablet during the day. Not so much, however, it is worth considering a large diagonal of the screen and not the most capacious battery.
If you look at the Huawei Ideos S7 Slim, considering the experience of last year's model, one should not not be noted that the company has made significant reaching, increasing the convenience of using the device due to the capacitive screen and reduce weight. At the same time, the tablets still remain far from the most demanded gadgets. The cost of 11,000 rubles today is visited high. Models already sold with Android version 3.2, there is no support for many video formats, the time of work is also not the most outstanding. The original feature that allows you to use the tablet as a phone, interesting. However, in practice it is unlikely to be strongly refined due to the weight of the device and the need to connect the headset.

After using the Huawei S7 tablet for three weeks (or a month, I do not remember), I can say the following - if this thing really will cost about 15,000 rubles, then we have hit sales. There are questions to the device, but if the price remains like this, then you can safely close your eyes on flaws and disadvantages.
True, here again the question arises - what to do with this tablet? I first honestly tried to replace them with the iPad. Did not happen due to a number of circumstances. The iPad has much responsive by the display, a number of unique applications, and there is no replacement in Android. But S7 is less, it is possible to stuff it in a big desire in the jacket pocket, plus the movies you need to write on the memory card and immediately see - without conversion. I am glad that there are all ways to communicate with the outside world, ranging from Bluetooth and finishing 3G.
But let's go about everything in order.
Design, Design, Management
The device is quite impressive sizes, 258 x 180 x 15 mm, weighs about five hundred grams. It is placed in the internal pocket of the jacket or jacket, in something similar to Sony Vaio. P. Assembly is good, except that the battery lid slightly goes a little. Materials are good, behind this brown plastic, metal cover, in my opinion, metal and stand too. It can be installed in two positions, fixed with a click. On the lid there is a window of the lens of a two-step-point chamber, the sense of it is not enough, but it is, and it is good. In the lower end, the microSD memory card slot, the connector for connecting to the docking station (apparently). I could not use it. On the left side, the speaker adjustment rocker and the dynamics hole, the same is on the right end. When watching the video, you get a sort of stereo effect if there is a better watch with a headphone or YouTube next to anyone, movies. On the right end connector charger and microUSB, it is strange that there is not one connector here and for charging, and for synchronization.
To the right of the display of the camera lens (webcams, if you want), optical joystick, reception buttons and call out. After all, we have a charter phone, if you wish, you can easily make calls. The optical joystick is good in devices with a small display diagonal, now imagine how many times you need to spend your finger here to get to some articles on the Mobile-Review website. In the end, you just stop using them. Left from display hOME buttonsCalling additional features and returns. Everything is traditionally for Android OS devices. Unfortunately, manufacturers rarely appeal to the traditional control system. In my opinion, the presence of red and green buttons is necessarily for budget phone, even for a super-modern communicator or smartphone.
Firsting the question - yes, over the years I still do not like that the iPhone does not have such buttons, sometimes it annoys it hard and even interferes.
On the top of the device there is a 3.5 mm connector, the on or translation button into sleep mode.
Display
I was issued a sample with a display made using capacitive technology. Nevertheless, I would call him enough responsive. Enough. Sometimes there is simply a belated reaction to pressing, there are erroneous pressing, the main problems with the processing of touches in the upper and lower line of statuses. Diagonal of 7 inches display, resolution of 800 x 480 points. The viewing angles are not bad, in principle, the screen of the stars from the sky is not enough, but also does not cause negative emotions. This is a plus.
There is automatic adjustment (illumination sensor).
System
Android 2.1 is used, there is nothing to add to this. Another question is that each manufacturer of "glands" seeks to add something to your own, and therefore the user experience gained from HTC is little applicable to Sony Ericsson. Rather, even, applicable from a negative point of view. Huawei S7 also has its own characteristics, let me tell you about them on the points:
- In the lower part there are links to some kind of invented segments. For example, " Main page."Consists of two desktops. Here you will widget time and weather, notes and photos, some kind of picture, alarm clock, search and so on. Other segments - Web, "Entertainment", "Communication", "Favorites", Pressing the Symbol in the lower right corner calls a list of programs. The image on the display can rotate depending on the position of the device, I disconnect this option, it is more convenient for using S7 in landscape orientation
- In the top there are icons of the quick power on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, brightness and audio adjustment, operator network status, battery charge indicator and notification menu. Rather, there are some "tasks" - this is, apparently, running programs, and "notifications", with them everything is clear.
- You can install animated background drawingBut it is better to put a static picture. It seemed to me that the device works faster in the second case
- Two words about software, there is already a TWIDROID program, the weather widget takes information from Accuweather.com, there is a Facebook widget. Everything else you will need to find yourself (well, or there will be customization from the operator)
In general, from Huawei S7 you can cool anything - even the tablet to work with mail and the network, at least a game console (although due to the resolution and the display used, not all programs go), even a bed video player. However, you know it without me - Android has a lot of opportunities. It would also be great to see "custom" firmware for S7, where there would be no conditional division to the main screen, Web and so on.
Iron
The device uses the Snapdragon processor, a very good word, with the performance of things is not bad. Nothing to do something.
Food
The stated work time is about three hours in video playback mode, a lithium-ion battery is used with a capacity of 2200 mAh. Let's see how many commercial samples will work - I used my use rather tight during the day (mail, browser, etc.) after which it was necessary to look for a socket. It is not very good that a special power supply connector is used. That is, separately microUSB for connecting to a computer and a separate connector for BP.
Camera
With the help of the camera you can take pictures. In principle, if there is a desire to quickly label photos for "fastening" to contacts, then it makes sense to take advantage. She shoots, to put it mildly, not very good. The camera on the front panel is not entirely clear for what, I wanted to use it somehow with Skype, but it did not work out. By the way, Skype here is default.
Memory
There are about 8 GB of integrated memory, but this is about its sample, it is possible to customization - it is possible that samples from 16 GB or 32 GB (or even 4 GB) will appear on sale. Of course, there is also a microUSB card slot. RAM - about 512 MB. During the use, I did not experience a shortage if you plan to use the video to view the video, it is worth watching the version with large quantity Memory.
Communication
There is a Bluetooth, profile 2.1 with EDR, there is Wi-Fi (802.11 b / g / n), there is a SIM card slot and, accordingly, the ability to use the device as a regular phone. Want - Use the browser, want to make calls. I did not understand where the microphone is located, you can speak directly "in the display", is heard quite normal. I initially put a SIM card without pulling out the battery so that she earned, I had to restart the device. In order to quickly go to the call list, you can press the green button, for the aback - red. On the screen when it is blocked, the operator logo is visible.
Of course, all this is very positive - when there are literally all the ways of communication with the surrounding world.
conclusions
Let's first about the patient - no camera, a set of programs should be made up and install yourself, a separate charging connector (non-standard), the time of work could be more. For this, it may have done to make the battery fixed. I would like to see the support of the good heap of codecs among the basic opportunities to calmly play any video or music.
On the other hand, because this well-hardened thing has a pleasant appearance, quite comfortable control, you can find fault to the display - but gentlemen, there is already a question of the price. The fact is that Huawei S7 will cost in retail there will be about 13,000-15,000 rubles, and soon less. The tablet at the price of the smartphone, and this tablet you can easily use even for conversations. You can come up with scenarios yourself - from mail and browser on the road to games and video in bed. I liked the product, an interesting thing. Probably, we will see Huawei S7 in a combat operator coloring and under a different sauce - Well, it will definitely not be worse.
