More and more tablets are becoming indispensable solutions for travel, home entertainment and everyday tasks. Each gadget manufacturer strives to satisfy the needs of consumers in the market as much as possible, but not everyone manages to maintain an optimal balance between the price and quality of their products.
For most people, a budget and functional solution will seem much more interesting than any expensive model... To this end, Bliss has released an inexpensive bliss pad a9730.

Main technical parameters
The tablet is perfect for gamers, as it is based on a powerful and efficient CPU ARM Cortex A9 (2 cores, 1.5 GHz), supplemented by 1 GB of RAM. Even more possibilities become available due to 16 GB of internal memory, in addition to which you can install flash cards of 32 GB. The device is capable of playing many video and audio formats, and there are no freezes at all. The fastest and most comfortable work is supported by the most stable OS Android 4.0 ICS, which has been supplemented with new features and design.
One of the most important parts the device remains its screen. There is a 9.7-inch display with IPS matrix(1024 x 768) looks pretty decent. The aspect ratio is made in the classic style of proportions - 4: 3. The capacitive display has the function of recognizing 5 simultaneous touches. It is also worth noting the wide viewing angles and the displayed image, which turns out to be bright and saturated even in the sunniest weather.
It should be noted the built-in 3G module. Not every budget-class tablet has such an option, because thanks to it, the device can be equated to a full-fledged smartphone. Besides support mobile network there are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, as well as GPS navigation. A capacious 6000 mAh battery is installed inside the device, so it can hold out for a long time without recharging.
Tablet appearance
The design cannot be distinguished by anything special. As it should be, the front part consists of a touchscreen display and a front camera (0.3 megapixel) located in right side... The rear panel looks more varied. Here you can see the company logo, speaker cutouts and a 2 megapixel main camera. Almost all control elements are installed on the right side face, and on the top face, by tradition, the power and volume buttons are located. The tablet is only 11 mm thick and weighs less than 610 g, which is a good result.

There is no way to use the services of a SIM card, Call and send SMS simply cannot. Can't work with GPS receiver, tried on different programs, lags behind the real route by 40-50 meters - which is very significant in urban conditions. Satellites are poorly caught, they are often lost in the city.

1) periodically turns off and reboots (during the day it happens 2-3 times), it is not clear what is the reason;
2) does not lie in the hand, it is inconvenient to hold with one hand due to the fact that the edges of the tablet are rounded;
3) the power button is recessed into the case, you constantly have to look for it or confuse it with the volume button, it is impossible to get used to it;
4) the charging cord is short;
5) the battery is charged for 4 hours, charging is also enough for only 4 hours with active use;
6) very easily soiled screen, as well as back plastic.

Problem solved
Advantages: 2-core processor Slim body. Battery - 6000mA, tested. Quite well-developed firmware, freezes - once every six months. 2 built-in speakers (stereo, damn it); built-in 3G module (just insert a SIM card); built-in bluetooth; support for wireless headphones; HDMI-out; IPS-matrix - very high quality and bright (even too) image. Disadvantages: bright back; lack of autofocus of the camera, the camera does not shoot clearly; heating of the right side of the back cover during resource-intensive applications; still sometimes falls off the 3G network (even with new firmware). There is no tightness between the sensor and the screen. There is dust on the screen. incomplete compatibility with iPad2 cases, it is difficult to find a quality case, but you can find it. In the second year of operation, it stopped loading. Commentary: A huge disadvantage for me is the ingress of dust on the matrix, tk. the sensor cover is glued to the matrix with a simple double-sided tape, and not along the entire perimeter. Therefore, dust gets on the matrix. I did not observe brakes in my work, there were no problems when working on the Internet. The video plays without a "slideshow" even at a resolution higher than 2000 pixels. The built-in memory is about 14 GB, the rest is used by the system. You can of course insert microSD card memory. The kit includes an OTG adapter for connecting external devices such as USB stick, portable HDD and so on. There are no telephony functions in the tablet - you won't be able to call from it - the built-in modem only supports working on the Internet in 3G / 2G or EDGE networks. In this regard, the firmware is incomplete. Checking the balance, as well as sending / receiving SMS, will also be unavailable to you. According to the manufacturer of the tablet, telephony functions will not appear and the modem does not support operation in these modes in new firmware-types. But an external 3G modem also does not work with telephony. Conclusion is in the firmware. The power adapter is standard 2A, 5V, the plug is thin, suitable for many Chinese devices. You can use it at a lower current, but at your own peril and risk. The tablet is also charged from USB, but much longer and only when the device is completely turned off (at night, for example). It is better to glue the film on the screen matte, otherwise you will constantly look at your reflection. The brightness of the screen is high even at the minimum - when reading books in the dark, your eyes will hurt. There is even nothing to write about the camera - this is clearly not a digital camera. Those. for the sake of high-quality pictures, the device is not worth buying. But they buy a tablet not for taking pictures .... With standard use, the battery lasts for 6 hours. In the second year of operation, it stopped loading. It gets stuck on the Bliss logo and hangs indefinitely. Memory analysis showed that bad blocks appeared in nand memory. It is impossible to restore, and, as I understand it, even in a service center.
