    1. I liked the nimbleness 2. So it quickly responds. Pictures, photos in albums quickly flip through. 3. Two SIM cards. The network works great. 4. You can save installation applications, games to the sd card. I don't even have this on my Samsung phone. I know what to be treated with firmware. But not pleasantly bought for 10 thousand. And again, flattery is needed there. And this tablet is 4 thousand.))) Okay, from the pluses it is pleasant to the touch. There is gps. Games are not yet what strong or medium speeds it will pull. Didn't pump. You need to personally inspect this item. What else. Here the font was set to the whole so that the letters would be readable in the menu. So everything is exactly finely poorly visible. This is a minus.

    Unfortunately, there are more cons than pros. There are decent, offensive, critical. Perhaps I will begin to describe not the proofs. Bought two weeks ago. Took my father. Why exactly this company because I used to consider this company strong and fast in the work, it affects in general. In general
    1. This is what immediately caught my eye, this is the screen, he rebits and shimmers all over. You don't know how to look at it from what angle. Personally, my eyes hurt.
    2. This is a quiet external speaker. It's not critical.
    3. From the kit, there are few gifts of elementary ears, not even a shame.
    4. Little operational. But not critical.
    5. The battery is very few amps. The charge as a whole keeps the norms well, I would like more. The fattest minus the screen. Again, impossible to watch.
    6. Sometimes throws out of the browser. Well I think it is

    The battery runs out quickly, for 3 months the sensor cracked when charging, only the upper part of the sensor works until the crack! Ultrasound is weak, not enough for more powerful games! 4 gigabytes of memory is not in it! 1 gigabyte internal and 1 gigabyte built-in!

Good time of the day!

I have been using it for 2.5-3 months already and some opinion has already formed, until I got stupid and everything works well, although I already tried to fly, thank God it worked out!

We bought it in the Rostelecom company store for 4290 rubles. I think it's an excellent tablet for such a price! You can search cheaper, but we didn't have time.

Included was a charger (USB cable and "jack")

It has the ability to use 2 SIM cards, I personally use only one branch, for an Internet SIM card.

There are 2 cameras: rear-2 mp, and front-0.3 mp. For me, as a lover of taking pictures, this is very little, but what is worth waiting for at this price. Photos taken with the rear camera:



True, the screen is small - 7 inches, but you can get used to it. After a phone with small screens, I simply could not get enough of it, but now something is not right

.Android version: 4.4.2

Kernel version: 3.4.67

But there is a significant minus - there is not enough memory, and the tablet does not want to be friends with the memory card ... as the consultant said, she did everything, but still the same.

If you need it for the Internet and games, then it will suit you!

Thank you for taking the time to review my review!

At the beginning of this year, the Explay N1 budget smartphone was successfully tested in our Laboratory. Interest in affordable smartphones based on Android is high, manufacturers are increasingly paying attention to this niche. Today, you no longer need a large budget to buy a phone that does not cause bouts of irritation due to constant failures and poor build quality. We have another new release from Explay with a big name Explay Hit, this decision is positioned as a continuation of the N1 concept.

A couple of these smartphones can successfully compete with branded offers from mobile operators, such as, for example, Megafon Login 2 and Megafon Optima. At a modest cost, a noteworthy filling is offered. But miracles do not happen, the purchase of such smartphones is always a compromise. Let's see what Explay Hit users will have to put up with.

Explay Hit Availability

At the time of testing, the average cost of Explay Hit, according to the Yandex.Market service, is 2690 rubles.

Equipment

The smartphone is delivered in a traditional eco-packaging with a silhouette of a smartphone and a set of data on technical characteristics.

Despite the budget, the buyer receives a traditional set of components from headphones, a microUSB cable and a network adapter. The quality of the components is high.

Appearance

Explay Hit retains the common features of its predecessor: smooth lines, a combination of glossy and matte plastics. The emphasis is on simplicity and practicality.

The smartphone fits easily in your hand, you can comfortably work with the fingers of one hand, which is very rare in modern smartphones. Dimensions are 127.8x54.1x11.4 mm and weighs 123 grams.

The back cover is made of white matte plastic, fingerprints are not visible, the material is pleasant to the touch. Here is the manufacturer's logo and the eye of the main camera with LED flash.

The cover is removable, under it is a removable battery, a microSD card slot and two slots for a SIM card. The lid is fastened tightly, no creaking or play of parts is observed.

Along the side face there is plastic painted under the metal. The same plastic is available at the bottom on the front side of the smartphone. Two mechanical buttons are displayed on the side face on the right: power and volume rocker. On the top is a micro USB port for charging and an audio jack.

The front side is glossy, the main area is occupied by the display. There are three touch buttons at the bottom.

Screen

A 4-inch TFT TN display with a resolution of 480x800 pixels is installed. The quality is average and corresponding to this type of matrix. Wide angles should not be expected, distortion is noticeable with a vertical change in angles. The maximum brightness is low, in direct sunlight it is problematic to make out the image.

Filling

The MediaTek MT6572M processor became the heart, it is an overclocked version of a dual-core chip with Cortex-A7 cores, it operates at a frequency of 1000 MHz. Mali 400M is responsible for the graphics. The bundle does not set records, but at the current resolution it allows you to ensure smooth operation of the interface and launch applications, including popular games.

Installed 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of storage. The memory can be expanded with a microSD card.

Antutu

Vellamo

3D Antutu

Battery

A battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh is responsible for autonomous work. This capacity with a margin is enough for one day of comfortable work and up to two days for economical use. Its positive role is played by an energy-efficient processor and a small screen resolution.

Camera

The camera module has undergone changes, a 2 megapixel module with LED flash is installed. Pictures, of course, have become better in quality, but far from ideal. Good shots can only be taken with sufficient lighting.

Soft

The Google Android 4.2 operating system is installed with a minimum of intervention from the manufacturer. A traditional set of software with additional utilities is preinstalled. As is the case with the latest solutions from this manufacturer, the Google Play app store has been replaced by Yandex.Store.

The Explay brand provides users with a large selection of inexpensive tablets with the necessary set of functions for. HIT was no exception, but unlike the younger Explay models, it has a wider functionality, which will become clear after reviewing all its characteristics.

Inexpensive device with rich functionality

Let's find out what Explay HIT offers the user, what are its advantages and main characteristics.

Contents of delivery

Explay HIT comes in the usual package - charger, USB cable and related documentation. In general, everything you need for comfortable use and no additional accessories - you can purchase them at your discretion.

Design

External design Explay HIT is a case of matte black plastic, glossy screen beautifully shimmers in the light, but to some extent requires careful handling due to the fact that it is easy to leave fingerprints. In general, the model looks solid and dignified, will look good in any environment and will suit every user - there are no frills in the design that could repel.

This decision is correct, because the main role is played not at all by the appearance, but by the compliance of the internal content with the user's expectations.

Screen

The 7-inch screen is the golden mean between compactness and optimal parameters for easy browsing of web pages and video files. On such a screen it is convenient to watch a movie or edit documents, you will not have the need to stare and spoil your eyesight. On the other hand, a larger screen requires an appropriate tablet size, and then it is no longer so convenient to carry around in any bag or briefcase, so the decision to make a 7-inch screen can be considered quite deliberate.

The screen resolution is not as big as it could be - only 1024x600, but as you know, the higher it is, the more expensive the device becomes. However, such a resolution will not become a hindrance - the picture on the tablet is bright and colorful, and the multi-touch function makes the use even more convenient.

Performance

The MediaTek MT8312 1300 MHz 2-core processor ensures fast Explay HIT performance, allows you to browse the web, multimedia files and use applications without slowdowns. Naturally, such a frequency and power is not enough for voluminous games with sophisticated graphics, but this model is not designed for such use. But simple games and working applications for documents will load without problems, in addition, the processor will not consume a lot of charge, so the device can work offline for a long time.

RAM has a capacity of 512 MB - not too much for a device of this type, but it is justified by the cost of the tablet and the fact that it plays the role of a pocket multimedia center with Internet access.

Multimedia features

The screen diagonal, processor power and other parameters on Explay HIT are enough to fully enjoy watching movies and videos, listening to music and other tasks related to multimedia files. Naturally, the device has a headphone jack and an external speaker.

To store multimedia files and other documents, applications, 4 GB of internal memory is available, which can be expanded with a memory card up to 32 GB - this model copes well with displaying data of this volume. In addition, it is quite enough for an average tablet, which is enough for applications, movies, videos, music, books and photos, and other files.

Additionally, it is worth noting such an important feature of this tablet as support for SIM cards, which will allow you to use it as a mobile phone. Moreover, 2 SIM cards can be inserted into the device at the same time, which will save you from the problem when you need to call a subscriber who uses the services of another operator.

Battery and operating time

Battery capacity is an important parameter for any tablet review. The model comes with a 2800 mAh battery, which will provide at least 2 hours of battery life, as stated by the manufacturer. But in fact, it is difficult to determine the operating time of the tablet without recharging - it all depends on the specific user and the tasks that he sets for the device.

It is clear that if you constantly play or watch movies, then the indicated 2 hours of work will be the maximum for the tablet. But if it is used more for surfing the Internet or reading, viewing photos, then for sure this model will be able to function without recharging for much longer.

Camera

The tablet has two cameras - a 2 MP rear camera will allow you to take a large number of pictures in optimal lighting, the front one is designed to provide video communication of tolerable quality. By the way, in the reviews of many available models there is a trend - in most cases, manufacturers do not install a front camera with a resolution of more than 0.3 MP, since this significantly increases the cost of the device, and, apparently, this parameter is not so important in equipment of this type.

Operating system and programs

The Explay HIT tablet works using the Google Android 4.2 operating system. The basic set has everything you need - a file manager, a browser, a search engine, programs for viewing files of various formats. From the Play Store, you can download all the other applications you need to work, which are then conveniently placed in the menu as a list. The advantage of this is that its contents can be supplemented at will with programs of any type, and most software creators release separate versions of their programs for Android users.

Competitors

The first competitor for this model, which is worth paying attention to - Ginzzu GT-7020. This tablet has almost the same parameters, but it is more powerful - the processor is provided not for 2, but for as many as 4 cores, it has an internal memory of 8 GB versus 4 GB in the HIT model. Plus, the camera in this model is equipped with a flash, which significantly expands the shooting possibilities, and it costs a little less.

In addition to it, when choosing a tablet from such a price niche, you should pay attention to Digma Optima 7.22 3G, which has almost the same functionality and, again, will cost a little cheaper than the Explay model.

And the last analogue that I would like to offer in this review is the Irbis TX61 - its cost is almost the same as that of Explay HIT, however, it is noticeably more compact due to the smaller screen size per inch.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of this model, I would like to note the following:

  • Optimal dimensions and lightness of the device.
  • Good screen resolution.
  • The presence of 2 cameras.
  • Support 3G, GPS and connect 2 SIM cards.
  • Attractive price.

Among the shortcomings, the most significant are the screen resolution (which, however, does not greatly affect the use) and the average processor (which is unlikely to cope with a large number of applications and tasks at the same time). I would also like the RAM to be a little larger, but this will already significantly affect the .

Conclusion

In general, Explay HIT has a fairly good functionality and is perfect for everyday use. Convenient dimensions, support for SIM cards, the ability to significantly expand the data storage using a memory card, the presence of Wi-Fi and 3G - what else is needed for a device used to access the Internet and play multimedia files?

This model is suitable for an ordinary user - a student, a schoolboy or an office worker, for those who are often on the road and want to have a pocket multimedia center with Internet access. On the tablet, you can easily use a high-speed connection, play more or less simple games, work with documents and materials. Plus, it has an uncomplicated and strict design, an attractive price that justifies the internal content.

Explay Hit testing

Given the budget model, it is not surprising that in Explay Hit uses a dual-core platform MediaTek MT6572, running at a clock frequency of 1 GHz and accompanied by only 256 MB of RAM. Of the internal memory of 512 MB, the user is left with only 120 MB, expandable with microSD memory cards up to 32 GB. The operating system controls it all. Google Android 4.2.2.

Explay Hit Memory Status Explay Hit system details

Oddly enough, there are almost no applications in the set of pre-installed software - they were replaced with an application package from, and they installed gettaxi And CandyApps.

Application Menu Explay Hit

Of the useful things, it is worth noting the firmware update program "over the air" - however, at the time of testing, there were no new versions.

Explay Hit Update Program

Also an interesting idea in addition to the initial setup wizard are quick guides - one is standard Android 4.2, and the second is specifically for this smartphone model. Both guides clearly show the initial steps to get acquainted with the operating system and the capabilities of the device.

One of the guides on Explay Hit

But with access to Google Play the user was offended by replacing him with an application store Yandex.Store- not only does it require an account in Yandex, but also there is no synchronization with Google accounts in the factory firmware.

Yandex.Store on Explay Hit

No, of course, you can create a new or connect an existing Google account - that's just a little use for this, given that there are no corresponding services and applications, and system links are displayed on Yandex.Store. And the trouble is the beginning: not only did this store open only at the end of February 2013 and there are still very popular programs in the catalog - so also what is there is late in freshness for a couple of months. Take, for example, Antutu Benchmark: the presented version number 4 persistently suggests updating every time it is launched. You can refuse, but even if you agree to go to Google Play, you will again find yourself in the same Yandex.Store.

Limited set of applications in Yandex.Store at the time of testing Antutu Benchmark app needs updates on Explay Hit

Nostalgic idyll - I remember the times of Google Android 1.6, when the applications in the official store were "a cat wept", and almost all software had to be installed using APK packages. That's just in the courtyard of Android 4.2 and 2014, so leaving the user without alternatives is not very comme il faut. However, you can understand the aspirations of smartphone manufacturers: it is much easier to agree on compensation for installing partner software with a company that is actively working in the language region and is well known to users than with Google - which does not seem to require money for licenses to install the OS, but itself They don't want to pay producers. And not a penny is visible from software sales at all, while Yandex promises users a cumulative system - each purchase in the Yandex.Store returns 10% of the money spent to the bonus account for the next purchases. You can pay for applications with a bank card, from a mobile account or through Yandex money.

Package installation request on Explay Hit

And here's another interesting point: for Yandex.Store to work, you need to allow the installation of applications from unknown sources - a favorite loophole of viruses and Trojans for Android. However, Google clipped the wings of scammers: during installation, warnings are forcibly displayed with a complete list of permissions required by the program to access operating system functions, and if you carefully read what the application will do, then problems are unlikely to overtake you. In addition, it is solemnly declared that all, all applications in the catalog are checked by antiviruses. Another thing is that the installation process in this format looks strange - as if applications are installed not from a decent software store, but manually from the device's memory.

But let's finally move from the specifics of Yandex.Store to software testing itself. It cannot be said that the result in the outdated Antutu Benchmark 4 is somehow surprising - you should not demand special achievements from an extra-budget model.

The standard browser by default leads to the Yandex home page, but there are no other changes in its work - our portal opened properly even in full mode (for desktop PC) without loss of page content.

Given the advanced age Angry Birds, the operation of this simple two-dimensional game on Explay Hit not overshadowed by any difficulties.

Angry Birds on Explay Hit

The range of 3D games in Yandex.Store is small, so I had to opt for a relatively new one. Asphalt 8 Airborne 2013 release. At first, the game asked to load more than 900 megabytes of data, which is basically impossible on this smartphone without a memory card and Wi-Fi, and then it simply "fell out" on the desktop. Don't play. Next, we moved on to Frontline Commando- this is not the most recent example of the igrostroya "ate" only 217 MB of memory, it started up and generally behaved decently - it did not slow down, and it was comfortable to play.

Explay Hit equipped with Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 modules. The Wi-Fi speed was, according to our measurements, about 31 Mbps when copying to a smartphone and an average of 20 Mbps when transferring data from it.
