Yesterday we talked about Verykool, a powerful Californian firm in America but unknown in Europe that was trying to break into the phablet market with a series of affordable devices with acceptable performance in most areas except for its processors. However, this firm has also decided to head towards the tablet sector in order to position itself among one of the most popular brands in consumer electronics on the other side of the ocean.
Although it is a small brand if we compare it with American giants such as Microsoft or Dell, verykool is determined to position itself well in its region as its cheap terminals are being well received by a group of millions of consumers who form a growing middle class throughout Latin America under the protection of economic development. However, although it has also made the leap towards larger devices, the San Diego firm currently has only one model. Here we present the Kolor pad 2, of which we will detail its most important characteristics and through which we will try to see if this small company is prepared to compete in a sector that has undergone a major transformation during this 2015 that is about to end.
Modest screen and resolution
El Kolor pad 2 has a panel of 7 inches accompanied by a resolution of 1024 × 600 pixels. This gives it a density of only 169 dots per inch, so it does not offer excellent but acceptable content display quality. One of the image strengths that its designers praise and with which they try to compensate for reduced characteristics, is the fact that it allows you to see 16,5 million colors. On the other hand, it is equipped with two cameras, a rear of 5 Mpx and a front of 1,3.
Processor and memory
Mediatek is in charge of providing this device with the highest possible speed. For this, the Kolorpad 2 is equipped with a processor compound 4 nuclei and a frequency of 1,2 GHz of this American firm. A not very high figure that can cause some performance problems when running several applications simultaneously but will work without problems when it comes to simpler tasks. On the other hand, in the RAM we find one of its greatest limitations since it only contains 512 MB that they try to compensate with a 8 storage GB expandable to 32.
Surprises in connectivity
In this sense, the tablet of verykool keeps the odd secret since, in addition to being prepared to endure 2G and 3G connections, also allows access to networks WiFi and finally, the highest speed connections offered by the 4G. However, it presents an operating system that is currently somewhat outdated, as it is equipped with Android 4.4. Regarding autonomy, offers an approximate duration of 9 hours if the device is used for conversation and navigation at the same time, a good amount considering that it is a low-cost terminal.
Price and Availability
As we have mentioned before, Europe is not among the preferred destinations of verykool since its main point of sale is the American continent. This tablets It was launched in summer and its price, of something more than $100 in portals like Amazon, it is very attractive for those consumers who want a device of acceptable benefits but not outstanding at a very affordable price.
After knowing how this Californian firm tries to occupy its territory, do you think that its only tablet currently marketed is ideal for the large American market, or do you think that it should improve its performance to be a real alternative capable of competing against other models regardless of its range? You have more information available on other devices marketed by this brand, such as its phablets, which also combine low price with good features.
