Intelect 8.9 Kiano 3G MS – test tablet

Intelect 8.9 Kiano 3G MS is the big brother already tested by us Intelect 8 3G model of MS. From the outside, the devices are deceptively similar, but the difference almost 200 zł in the price will itself felt during everyday use. As 3G 8.9 MS compares to other tablets with the Intelect?

HOUSING

Kiano 8.9 3G MS is made ​​in the same style as smaller cousins. Visual differences are manifested mainly in the finish rear panel – inverted logo and all printing and postage windows went on the bottom frame just below the screen.

Front device is mainly disputes about specific screen diagonal measurement of 8.9 ''(the world is only a few tablets with Windows and the diagonal). At the top, in the central part of the frame placed webcam to video chat. The whole is protected by smooth and shiny glass, adding elegance and style device. On the rear, you will not find much – it is worth noting that shiny logo Kiano and the necessary markings placed under a sheet of glass, so there is no letters paved the way to or dropped off. In the top right corner of the camera lens was located – his face is equal to the housing, thus tablet is not chybocze when we put it on a flat surface. To avoid additional damage led around the lens thin metal rim. Unfortunately, the same glass on his back no longer protects anything, it is not difficult, therefore, for scratches and scrapes – solution is to buy one of the universal carrying case (Kiano does not have a dedicated case for Intelect series).The sides of the device is an example of how to connect the utility and aesthetics without losing either the one or the other. Frames are constructed of plastic (for shorter distances) and aluminum (on the long sides). Metal inserts do not only look great, but also stiffen the entire structure. The bottom bar is empty – most of the buttons and ports hit the upper edge of the device: placed there with the microphone, micro-SD slot and a micro-SIM opened with a key (draw cards is sometimes problematic – it's worth to be patient during this operation), volume control bar and a button responsible for waking the tablet. And it is mainly for this last item, I have a few reservations – if buttons work sensibly and sitting rigidly in design, this awakening does not always work as it should. Sometimes I had to wait more than 20 seconds until the equipment understand that I want to use it. I can not say whether this effect is causing the same button or suspension system. On the left side of the unit was located a micro USB port and a headphone jack mini-jack. For shorter strips find good – like tablet – in stereo speakers, decent playing and loudness large (up to 95 dB at peak times).

In terms of design, a series of Intelect I consider to be one of the most currently available in the segment of cheaper devices. Neat combination of high-gloss aluminum inserts glass emphasizes the elegant character and is complemented by an extremely slim (only 8 mm thick) – until one is tempted to work with such equipment. But keep in mind that not all gold that glitters – smooth, shiny glass acts as a magnet for dirt and dust. And as far as the question of maintaining the purity of the tablet can be left only to individual assessment, it is worth mentioning the average folding, the same components. The situation is not improved susceptibility to overheating of the device – under load equipment reaches up to 45 degrees C in the vicinity of the main camera eyes, as well as high temperature obviously has a negative impact on housing bond, resulting in tablet design in that place "likes" crackle and bend more than foreseen standards.

CAMERA

5-Megapixel sensor provides a standard – for this segment – quality pictures. Recorded at a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels photographs not delight detail and devotion to the real color, there is also helping defaults to high ISO. In the dim light to make sharp and pretty pictures do not have to count, but as a quick "scan" documents the tablet undoubtedly come true – the more so that hardware equipped with AF system. Simon posted a smaller test Intelect 3G MS.

Case in Kiano Intelect 8.9 3G MS looks exactly the same as a lesser cousin. The photos are of poor quality, the same goes for movies filmed through the tablet. While the number of frames the front, 2-megapixel camera remains at an acceptable level, 27 frames / sec. (Material recorded at 720 lines vertically) so much liquidity a major motion picture camera (1080 lines of vertical) is still only 14 frames / sec., which is not encouraging results.

camera application does not allow us a total of nothing more than the addition of the grid, AF setting and taking photos with a click on the screen – that is windows based standard.

SCREEN

Screen size of 8.9 "is a strong point of the test tablet Kiano. The matrix is made ​​of IPS technology offers a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels (which translates into 255 ppi) and practice exercises fantastic. The wide viewing angles and nice color reproduction makes watching movies or gives a lot of fun to play. It is worth mentioning that the touchpad works precisely and can record up to 5 touch points simultaneously.

shortcomings? The first is the high brightness of a minimum of 34 cd / m2 – rather, it is hard to talk about comfortable using the device in the dark. The Noteworthy too is the high maximum brightness (436 cd / m2), which in fact does not translate, however, into a guaranteed readability in sunlight. There are no antiglare coating and screen cover that turns a mirror in strong sunlight reduces the comfort of the tablet in summer days .

An experienced eye will notice digitizer lines running across the screen – the easiest to spot them on a white background while surfing the Web. But this is not a big drawback and the majority of tablet users is unlikely to be disturbed.

EQUIPMENT

Intelect 8.9 Kiano 3G MS is probably all the elements you would expect from a modern tablet. As the name suggests, we find here a 3G modem (HSPA + / GSM), who at the time worked steadily tests and no problems connected to networks that Polish operators. The only exception is the free internet – just like a smaller cousin the tablet was not able to handle Aero2 cards. If the use of the network using 3G we did not relish life easier The single Wi-Fi module, which successfully passed all tests manic, without losing the connection in any of our scenarios. It is worth mentioning that the tablet is working with miracast image transmission system. [Test slug = "wifi-tablet" axis = "negative" product_id = "20780"] Do not omit the GPS module, although here somewhat disappointed – despite my many efforts, the tablet is still trying to convince me that I'm somewhere in Warsaw ( I assure you – Editors still located in Krakow;)). I assume that it's only flaw of our model and have the opportunity check other copies of Intelect 8.9 Kiano 3G MS in this respect. May disappoint a small built-in memory (only 16GB) – after deducting the necessary space for the needs of the system, to be used remains only 5.15 GB. Fortunately the situation to some extent saves microSD card slot, which handled even our test vehicleKingston 128GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 Class10 , even though the manufacturer officially mentions only the 32 GB cards. Desktop programs you can freely shift from media to media, but the store Windows applications are installed by default only on the partition C.

The tablet does not disappoint in terms of support for OTG standard – without any difficulties coped with the detection of mice, keyboards, flash memory and external drives, both formatted in NTFS and FAT32. 

BATTERY

Intelect Kiano 8.9 Tablet 3G MS is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6700 mAh and 2000 mAh so larger than the 8-inch model of the same series. This translates into better results in tests of battery, although we can not speak about a crushing difference. All our measurements were made with brightness reduced to the level of 120 cd / m2. [Test slug = "accumulator" virtual = "conversation, movies-wifi-off 3g internet, internet-wifi, communicator-wifi" product_id = "20,780.20172"] equipment during normal use on a single charge withstand virtually all day, but if you plan on intensive use of the machine, you better have the charger with you.

PERFORMANCE / FUNCTIONALITY

Intelect 8.9 Kiano 3G MS works based on 4-core Intel® Atom ™ processor clocked at Z3735F 1.33 GHz – the proportion rises to 1.8 GHz when a greater load. The quality of the displayed image corresponds to the integrated Intel HD Graphics GPU supplemented with 2 GB of RAM. A similar solution can be found in Kiano Slim Table 8 Pro or Kruger & Matz EDGE 1082. [test slug = "3dmark" product_id = "20,780.20212"] Selected by Kiano system is a compromise between performance and price. Digitizer not terrible web browsing, including even complex pages with Flash technology – the same goes for viewing documents and PDF readers handle. The tablet has not had major problems with playing videos (including support for 4K and DTS – if necessary codecs installed). Kiano Intelect 8.9 3G MS is not a device designed under the players, not change the fact that because of the presence of the full version Windows 8.1 is not only playing the latest titles from the shop windows, but also desktop games. Tablet without any zająknięć fired titles such as Diablo III, StarCraft 2 and Heartstone – all at the lowest settings operate as efficiently in order to derive fun from the game. You can only deplore the temperature of the enclosure while playing – hell of a tablet heats up quickly, and thus, rapidly losing energy.

Change CPU and double the RAM has resulted in improving speed and stability of the device relative to smaller cousins ​​series Intelect. Change for the better has also battery – despite almost 9 "screen Tablet reached in our tests very meaningful results. This equipment, which is a great alternative to a traditional PC-ta, and thanks to the free Office package can also become a mobile office. There is certainly the perfect equipment, because they are suffering due to poor camera, high temperatures or lack of antiglare coating, but it is still a model which should be interested in looking for a cheap tablet with Windows.
