The Supra company is known to everyone who has at least once been interested in inexpensive technology. It doesn't matter which one. From microwave ovens and humidifiers to motorcycle audio systems. Of course, with such a wide range of products, Supra also has tablets. Let's see what they are.
All Supra tablets that can be bought at KNOW-HOW fall into the price category “within 10 thousand rubles”. In the review, we have arranged them in ascending order of price. However, you need to know that all Supra tablets have:
Wi-Fi for connecting to wireless networks;
Bluetooth for connecting other devices over the air;
GPS for using navigation systems (except Supra M742 4Gb);
Support for connecting external devices and USB drives via the USB-OTG cable included in the kit;
Support for memory cards of various sizes.
And now, in order.
Tablets with a screen diagonal of 7 inches
The most compact devices that can even fit in your pocket.
Supra M742 4Gb – this 7-inch device with a simple TFT screen at a bargain price opens the Supra tablet lineup. It is interesting due to its price and the fact that it can do almost everything that more expensive models can do: you can play simple casual games, you can surf the Internet, you can watch movies - for all this, 512 MB of RAM and a quad-core Allwinner A33 processor are enough. Let's just note that this is the most budget Supra tablet, and it does not come with a SIM card slot and a GPS navigator. The built-in memory is only 4 GB, but you can use cards up to 32 GB.
Supra M725G 3G 4Gb - in general, the model is similar to the previous one, but it already has a 3G module that allows you to use the tablet as a phone. By the way, it's very convenient! Moreover, the tablet allows you to install two SIM cards at once - one for the Internet, the other for calls and SMS. The device runs Android 4.2.
Supra M722G 3G 4Gb – this tablet should be taken by those who are not satisfied with a regular TFT screen, but want a more or less good IPS with wide viewing angles. Otherwise, everything is the same as the previous model. Even support for two SIM cards and the old Android 4.2.
Supra M74IG 3G 8Gb is a slightly more powerful processor, but only 512 MB of RAM. Why more expensive? Because 8 GB of internal memory, you can download more movies, more maps for the navigator, more applications.
Supra M74MG 8Gb is the first tablet in our review with support for LTE networks! Yes, it has a quad-core MediaTek MT8735 and Android 5.1, and therefore, despite the modest 512 MB of RAM, it is significantly faster than its memory brethren. By the way, there is only one “Simka”.
Supra M847G 3G 16Gb – IPS screen diagonal 7.85 inches – it is slightly larger than other compact models. In addition, there is 16 GB of internal memory, so you can install many, many applications and download a season of the original Star Trek. But there is no support for LTE networks here anymore.
Large 10-inch tablets
The larger the screen, the more pleasant it is to watch movies and surf the Internet.
Supra M121G 3G 4Gb is the most affordable Supra tablet with a large 10.1-inch TFT screen. The power of the MediaTek MT8312 processor with 1 GB of RAM is enough for everything you need - navigation, banking applications, instant messengers, Internet surfing, YouTube. But remember: this is an ultra-budget tablet, and therefore you shouldn’t expect miracles from it. 4 GB of internal memory is compensated by support for 32 GB flash drives and the ability to connect external drives.
Supra M12BG 3G 8Gb – the same as the previous model, but with 8 GB of internal memory.
Supra M94CG LTE 8Gb – the screen diagonal is slightly smaller, 9 inches. But there is support for LTE networks. Yes, there is the same 512 MB of RAM, but with Android 5.1 and MediaTek MT8735M, and therefore the performance is higher than that of previous 10-inch models.
The most common problem in tablets is problems with the touchscreen, this is not surprising, because we use this element of the device all the time, all the load goes on it. Replacing the screen is a fairly simple process, but still, to carry out this procedure yourself, it is necessary to have at least some basic knowledge about the composition, structure and operating principle of the device in question. Today we’ll look at how to replace the touchscreen on the Supra M121G tablet.
Many people are sure that in order to change the touchscreen, it is imperative to disconnect absolutely all the parts so that only one frame remains. In fact, there are different options for disassembling a tablet to change the screen; each user and technician has their own method, so before you begin the replacement, you need to decide exactly how you will disassemble your tablet.
First, remove the back panel of the tablet; anyone can do this, even a child. Then you need to disconnect the cable that is connected to the screen. Connect the cable of the new touchscreen to this connector and start the tablet in order to immediately check whether the screen you purchased is suitable for your tablet model. It happens that the names and models of touchscreens are the same, but when compared, it turns out that they are completely different, from the size to the width of the cable, so be careful when choosing such an element.
When the touchscreen is connected and the tablet is turned on, the device should respond to finger touches on the glass of the new touchscreen, which means that it is fully suitable for this tablet model. You need to check all parts of the touchscreen so that the top, bottom, and both sides work.
After which you need to turn off the tablet. We turn on a special hairdryer at high temperature, with which we will heat the non-working touchscreen, and around the entire perimeter. After the touchscreen has warmed up properly, we proceed to disconnect it from the rest of the device; to do this, we pry up the screen with something thin on all sides and remove it.
The process of detaching the old touchscreen is quite long, but only with the help of a hairdryer. It can be called the safest way to remove the screen. This may take you 15 minutes, maybe even 20, but you will remove the old screen without damaging other elements of the tablet.
After you have successfully removed the old screen, use a blower to blow away any dust that may have accumulated under the touchscreen while using the tablet. Do not wipe the screen with a cloth, much less with your hand. The edges of the disassembled device, more precisely, the edging, must be wiped with a dry rag to get rid of excess glue and tape on this edging.
Now you can start connecting the new touchscreen to the tablet. The whole process is done in reverse order. Do not attempt this process yourself if you are not confident in your capabilities and knowledge.
The unusual tablet format with an 8.9-inch display was first tested by Samsung; much later, other companies began producing similar devices, which is not surprising, because with a slight reduction in the diagonal, it is possible to significantly reduce weight and overall dimensions.

Appearance, materials, control elements, assembly
Unlike most tablets with rounded corners, here Supra decided to use a stricter design and sharp edges. Externally, the model resembles a large Nokia Lumia, which, in general, is not bad, because Nokia had a good appearance.
Most of the front side is occupied by an 8.9-inch display; to the left of it you can see the peephole of the front 2 MP camera.
The ends of the device are made of matte smooth plastic, pleasant to the touch. Most of the control elements are located at the top end: the power button, volume rocker, microSIM SIM card tray, memory card slot and built-in microphone hole. The buttons are located very conveniently, just under the index finger of the left hand. The keys have a soft stroke, pressing is accompanied by a characteristic click.
On the left are a microUSB port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and on the right are two stereo speakers. The latter have an average volume headroom, but the sound quality itself is not bad, at least they do not wheeze even when the volume is turned up to maximum.
The back of the tablet is made of glass. Of the elements, only the main 5 MP camera is present on it. The decision to use glass is quite controversial. On the one hand, this guarantees a spectacular appearance, but on the other hand, glass is impractical from the point of view of use. It quickly becomes covered with scratches and fingerprints, which are also difficult to wipe off.
From the assembly point of view, there are no complaints about the device: there are no backlashes, creaks, or gaps.
Dimensions
This time I will not use a size plate, since there is practically nothing to compare the 8.9-inch tablet with. It is larger than its eight-inch “colleagues” and more compact than its ten-inch ones.
Supra M942G- 232.6x148.6x8.8 mm, weight 430 grams
In terms of size, the model turned out good. It is relatively thin and light, while having a fairly large screen diagonal. In my opinion, this tablet is closer to eight-inch models than to ten-inch models. It is convenient to hold it with one or two hands.
Screen
If you look only at the characteristics of the display, then, in general, it looks pretty good, but you shouldn’t trust just the numbers.
When I first turned on this tablet, I got the impression that it was not FHD, but HD resolution. The fact is that small fonts look slightly blurry on this screen, and the same applies to the overall impression of the image. Then it turned out that in addition to the factory film, a protective film was already installed on the device, and it was so good that I didn’t notice it right away. Only a small, barely noticeable bubble in the corner gave it away. The film turned out to be quite thick, but even after removing it, the image quality did not improve in any way, so if you buy this model, you don’t have to remove the protective film.
There is no oleophobic coating, so the finger glides very poorly on the glass and constantly gets stuck. By the way, glass is actually used here; I couldn’t scratch it with scissors or keys.
Apparently, there is also no anti-reflective coating; in natural and artificial light you will see your reflection, which is also a minus.
operating system
The device runs Android 4.4.4 with a couple of additions from the manufacturer. Firstly, the browser from Android 4.0 remains here, which, in my opinion, is only a plus. Secondly, another one appeared next to the on-screen buttons for taking screenshots.
Otherwise, we have a typical Android 4.4 KitKat with all its advantages and disadvantages.
Performance
Let's start with the good. The amount of RAM and internal memory corresponds to parameters that are comfortable for work. I keep repeating that the “2+16” combination is ideal for most tasks.
Everyday usage scenarios such as scrolling through desktops, checking email and running a browser also do not cause any difficulties for the tablet. Tables flip through quickly, web pages load instantly.
The tablet also performs well in most games, but the most powerful games run only at medium settings.
In general, there is nothing to complain about in terms of performance. Typical behavior for a mid-segment chipset.
Autonomous operation
The battery life results in our tests were average. So, 4.5 hours of video viewing is already the norm for most thin tablets, but the operating time in reading mode turned out to be not so long.
For everyday use, you can expect one to two days, depending on what you do on the tablet.
Wireless interfaces
Regarding wireless interfaces, I have only one comment. The device has a long cold GPS start - about three minutes. So, if you plan to use the tablet as a navigator, then it is better to look for another model.
Conclusion
On the official website of the Supra company they are asking 15,000 rubles for this tablet. Various online stores sell it for 12,000 rubles.
Among the advantages of the model, I would like to note its good dimensions and interesting format with an 8.9-inch display. The disadvantages of the device include the quality of the display and the easily soiled glossy body.
Among the direct competitors, it is worth highlighting the iRu Pad Master P8901G model, it has similar characteristics, but uses the MediaTek MT6592 chipset. The cost of the model from iRu starts from 8,500 rubles.
Another competitor is Qumo Sirius 890 16Gb. It's thicker and heavier, and also has a less powerful Intel Atom Z2580 chipset. And it sells for the same 12,000 rubles.
Greetings, dear colleagues and visitors to the expert club. At the moment, there are many brands that are represented in the electronics market. Of these, some deal only with portable electronics, others deal with everything at once. In today's market, especially in the budget segment, brands do not manufacture technology, they use their brand on devices manufactured by Chinese OEMs. What’s most interesting is that this model works not only in the portable equipment market, but in absolutely all areas of digital and household appliances. Our guest today is represented by just such a brand. The Supra brand has been in the household appliances market for a very, very long time. Few people will be surprised by a Supra TV or a multi-cooker, and the vendor has already firmly established itself in the vastness of automotive technology, but this brand is relatively new to the tablet market and is just beginning to develop it. Despite its relatively recent presence, Supra already has more than 10 tablet models at its disposal, and this is far from the limit.
Today we will talk about a budget product, and a budget product, so to speak, “to the core.” This is the Supra M722 tablet. This model is built on one of the cheapest SoC platforms, namely the relatively new RockChip RK3026 on the market. This system does not shine with anything outstanding, except, perhaps, for its cost in relation to productivity. The chip boasts two cores, as well as a Mali 400MP2 graphics accelerator (which needs no introduction). But a cheap SoC is not all that a tablet can boast of. It has a relatively recent Android 4.4 KitKat installed on board, which is certainly not bad for a budget employee. And of course, the market value of the tablet cannot but rejoice; the price on the market ranges from 1,500 to 2,200 rubles (more than an affordable price). All other characteristics of the tablet are more than standard; for this segment they do not need any special introduction.
Specifications

Packaging and accessories
The packaging, which looked simple, turned out to be literally crammed with information. On the back cover of the box, all the characteristics are described in some detail, including battery life and standby time. The box says that the operating time in video playback mode is 2.5 hours; the figures are not particularly impressive, considering that manufacturers usually embellish the reality. But let’s hope that this time the manufacturer is honest with us, because 2.5 hours is not at all the battery life that you can boast about.
The ends of the box actually duplicate the information, but in English. They also have information about the device importer.
The tablet is packaged in an antistatic bag and held in a foam mold.
The package includes: network adapter, power cable, OTG cable, user manual, warranty card and list of service centers. Quite standard equipment for all Chinese tablets. The charger has output characteristics of 5V and 2A, respectively, which is standard for 7-inch tablets. Naturally, such a power load does not require a dedicated charging port, and charging is carried out via MicroUSB.
The tablet itself is protected by a transport film, which displays the main specifications, and under it there is a protective film, which, by the way, is very easily scratched and is unlikely to protect the screen for a long time.
Appearance
The design of the tablet is quite strict and angular. The body is made of fairly cheap plastic, but no creaks or backlashes were noticed. There are no bubbles on the screen, and when you press the back cover, the same is not observed, so there are no complaints about the assembly. There are no logos or touch buttons on the front panel, there is only a camera that protrudes slightly forward.
From a distance, the back cover may seem rubberized (or covered with soft touch), but touching it dispels all doubts about its coating. Here we have the most ordinary plastic, which scratches quite easily. There are serious savings on manufacturing materials to make the tablet as affordable as possible. There is still a logo on the back cover, as well as the model, power requirements of the device and the speaker grid.
On the right side there is a power button and a volume rocker. The thickness of the tablet is not great, but it cannot be classified as thin.
There are absolutely no interfaces on the left side, except for a hole that is apparently used in other versions of this platform for a 2nd microphone, but here it is occupied by absolutely nothing.
At the top end there are absolutely all interfaces: a memory card slot, a microphone, a USB port and an MJack 3.5 headphone jack.
But the bottom end is completely empty. You may notice that the joints at all ends are very clearly visible. In some places the frame at the junction is uneven and its sharp edges can be felt.
The tablet supports video calling; for these purposes, it has a front camera with a resolution of 640 by 480. The video quality is mediocre, but this is the norm for a budget tablet.
One small speaker located at the bottom of the cover is responsible for the sound in the device. The sound is not particularly loud and of high quality, again due to the budget of the device.
Functionality and performance
1. Synthetic tests
So we come to synthetics. The new RockChip platform coupled with Android 4.4 in this device played a cruel joke on synthetic tests. The tablet either did not run half of the standard set of performance tests, or they ended with errors. Therefore, the 3DMark, Epic Citadel and one of the Vellamo benchmark tests are not included in the review for the above reasons. 
The Antutu Benchmark result shows all the delights of the new budget platform. Old platforms have completely disappeared from the ranking of the latest versions of Antutu, so our guest took an honorable last place, unable to compete with more expensive and venerable participants. Despite the modest result, the platform is the successor to the outdated RK2918 and RK2926 (RK2928) and, compared to them, it is much more productive. The performance of the platform is also higher than Qualcomm MSM 8225 and MTK 6577. However, the above-mentioned platforms are also not relevant at the moment and, in addition, have built-in 3G modules, which is no different for the newcomer. The platform is certainly better than the old single-core state-of-the-art devices, but I personally simply don’t find modern competitors for this SoC (all competitors are already outdated and are rarely used in modern devices, although MTK 6572 can be considered a competitor to our SoC, but it again has a 3G module and is positioned as smartphone, having a higher price). Despite such a lukewarm recommendation, this SoC remains almost the cheapest on the market, surpassing even its old competitors in price. In any case, this platform does not bring any innovation. The 1.2 GHz stated in the specifications, of course, turns out to be the maximum possible frequency, but in this case the device operates at a maximum frequency of 1 GHz, and in normal mode, at a frequency of 800 MHz. We see all the delights of running Android 4.4 on a device with a memory capacity of 512 megabytes; when loading the system and standard programs, about 100 MB of RAM is left free, which eliminates work in the background. Any application that consumes more than 30 MB sent to the background will be automatically closed (I already encountered a similar problem in a review of a budget game console with the same amount of memory). 
But the good old Quadrant, on the contrary, has an outdated device rating, and even in it the platform does not shine. But it outperforms the oldies in the form of Desire HD (single-core MSM 8255 processor) and Nexus S (same single-core Exynos 3110) and is almost “breathing in the heels” of Tegra 2. 
A newcomer to my reviews, the BaseMark OSII tester, gave our device a score of 48 points, thus our device was not included in any of the 1 ratings when built on the site (as an example, the result of the Nexus was 4,961 points). But apparently our guest is simply not suitable for this tester. 
After updating Vellamo, its interface was no longer even a little convenient. The tester automatically assessed the performance of both the built-in browser and the pre-installed Dolphin. In the Metal test, our guest scored 393 points, beating the Samsung Galaxy S and almost catching up with the Galaxy S2. In any case, no problems were found with working in browsers on this tablet. 
The most striking confirmation of the loss of its relevance was the previously adequate NenaMark tester, which turned out to be, perhaps, the only one that our guest passed without any problems. But on devices older than 2010, I have not yet seen a figure less than 30 FPS, so I don’t know if this achievement is so significant. 
And finally, the multi-touch test. As stated by the manufacturer, the screen supports up to 5 touches.
2. Game tests
Well, as mentioned above, the device is equipped with the latest Android 4.4.2. At the same time, I did not feel absolutely any advantages of having it. Out of an average of 130-140 megabytes of RAM free after loading on 4.1.x-4.2.x, 100-120 megabytes remained in 4.4.2, optimization on weak hardware is generally nothing, slows down extremely little, compared to devices with similar hardware, but the lack of RAM puts an end to all smoothness, after an hour of work there is no trace of smoothness left, you have to clean applications (of course we are talking about mixed work, when using 1 application there are no such problems). If you are in a game and God forbid you decide to minimize it, it will most likely just close. Also, when minimizing heavy applications, the device may freeze for a while, then the application closes and everything becomes normal again. 
Despite the fact that the tablet is far from gaming, I didn’t consider casual games (Subway Surfers and Angry Birds will no doubt run on this device), so I started with relatively light but demanding games. GT Racing 2 is one of these (analogous to RealRacing 3 from Gameloft). The game automatically set the texture quality to minimum, no lags were noticed. Of course, the quality of the textures suffers, but for a budget device this is probably enough. 
The game Dead Trigger 2, which is becoming more and more optimized for budget devices, launched and worked with slight drops in FPS (which did not particularly interfere with the game) at the minimum graphics level; when the quality was increased, it was impossible to play. The only problem I encountered was that the device refused to take a normal screenshot from the gameplay, losing half of the image (as in the screenshot), interestingly, there are no such problems when taking screenshots in the menu.
3. Multimedia capabilities
To analyze the capabilities of multimedia, I used a package of samples for testing, which was already used in previous reviews; the picture shows the results of testing these samples. The device even takes FullHD video, but not with a particularly high bitrate. When the bitrate increases above 8 Mbit, regardless of the resolution, problems begin (both in HD video and in FHD). But this tablet is capable of watching standard FHD Internet content. So, when it comes to multimedia issues, the device shows itself on the positive side.
4. Screen
Actually, the screen of this tablet does not have anything outstanding. Moreover, it made me nostalgic for the old TN screens, which had rather low contrast, saturation and terrible viewing angles. The brightness is at a decent level, there is even a small margin, but with such viewing angles this does not save the situation. Despite the fact that the product is budget, there are many products in the budget segment with a better screen, and budget high-quality matrices currently exist, but the final price of the product would increase by no more than 100-200 rubles. But the product has already been released and the screen is not the strong point of this tablet.
5. Interface and pre-installed programs
Interestingly, the standard launcher has only 2 desktops, with no customization options. Undoubtedly, this move saves boot time and a little battery and memory. 
The lock screen is also simplified to the point of disgrace. 
The launcher has not undergone any visual changes. Therefore, small cuts in terms of the number of desktops and lock screen functionality are all that the developer has done with the standard interface. There are several useful pre-installed applications: Dolpin Browser, explorer, FBReader, QuickOffice, Skype, YouTube and of course Angry Birds - they don’t even need an introduction, it’s very good that the manufacturer has provided us with virtually everything we need right out of the box. There is also a fairly popular translator, HedgeDict, which, however, comes without a single dictionary and is useless without downloading them. 
As for connecting to USB, we must say thank you to the manufacturers for the opportunity to connect the device as a regular flash drive, and not just as an MTP and PTP device.
6. Battery life
Since the device is not positioned as long-lasting, we will not torture it too much. The Antutu tester, which can test batteries, refused to run on this device, so we won’t get a test rating, but I ran several tests of battery life:
1. Games (maximum brightness) – 1 hour 20 minutes of battery life;
2. Video (medium brightness) – 2 hours 15 minutes of battery life;
3. Internet surfing (medium brightness) – 2 hours of battery life;
4. Mixed work (office, reading, games, video) – 2 hours 30 minutes of battery life;
5. Reading (minimum brightness) – 3 hours of battery life;
6. Standby time (Wi-Fi on) – 10 hours;
7. Standby time (flight mode) – 25 hours.
As you can see, the indicators are quite modest, but they honestly admitted on the packaging - don’t expect much. The only thing that pleased me was the charging speed; the device charges its battery in just over 40 minutes (from a complete discharge).
Conclusion
To sum it up, the new Supra creation is far from perfect. It has virtually all the problems of budget decisions. And the new low-cost platform from RockChip is not a performance standard, but it has a very low cost.Advantages and disadvantages:
+ extremely low cost;
+ good multimedia capabilities;
+ latest operating system Android 4.4.2;
+ fairly stable Wi-Fi module;
+ a bunch of useful pre-installed software;
+ there is nothing superfluous in the interface;
+ quite light;
- cheap plastic that will scratch quickly;
- mediocre screen and sound;
- battery life leaves much to be desired;
- only 512 megabytes of RAM put an end to all the delights of the new operating system.
What is the intended use of this tablet? This tablet is ideal for primary school students and will be a good alternative to the advertised products from Megafon (especially with a price of 1.5 thousand rubles). But at a price above the minimum, the device no longer looks so good and it has competitors. If you use battery life as a limiting factor for children (1.5 hours of play is enough), then this is your choice. The device is unlikely to be suitable for use outside the home, because the battery life will make it simply useless away from an outlet. In any case, given the class of the device, you can turn a blind eye to some of its disadvantages, but again when selling at retail with a price tag of 1.5 to 2 thousand rubles.
That's all, AnSoReN was with you, see you again in the digital space!
In the modern world, where new and improved technical devices are invented every day, it occupies a special place. This practical device, responsive to the slightest touch, has become the best friend for millions of people on our planet. And if two or three years ago every teenager’s dream was a laptop, today its place has been taken by a more convenient tablet.
What is the reason for such popularity? It's all very simple - modern tablet computers boast not only minimal weight and practical dimensions, but also excellent technical characteristics. Thus, tablets easily perform the functions of a regular laptop, while using them is much more convenient. There are also interesting tablet models designed to be not only a computer, but also a phone. The M142G tablet is just such a multifunctional device, the review of which was quite surprising (in a good way). This model has a beautiful, well-thought-out design and quite “spicy” filling. The tablet functions perfectly both as a computer and as a mobile phone. Moreover, the gadget can be purchased at a fairly low price.

Traditionally, the review of the tablet began with its technical characteristics. One of the advantages of this gadget is its powerful battery - a 7000 mAh battery can last up to 8 hours without additional charging. Also attractive is the high-quality 10.1-inch TFT IPS screen and quad-core MediaTek MT8382 processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. If we talk about the disadvantages of the SUPRA M142G, then we need to talk about the far from professional cameras and, of course, the small amount of memory offered, although the tablet supports MicroSD. Now let’s look at all the advantages and disadvantages of the device under discussion in more detail.
Contents of delivery
SUPRA M142G is sold well-equipped - in addition to the device itself, manufacturers offer detailed instructions, a 5V-2A charger and two additional cables (USB and USB-OTG).
Design
Externally, the device looks stylish and expensive. The neutral black color of the glossy display frame not only looks beautiful, but also adds strict elegance to the gadget. All connectors are located on one side next to each other, which sometimes may not be very convenient, although if you use them separately, such an arrangement will not provide any inconvenience. The body of the device is made of plastic, which is quite reasonable considering its cost. On the back of the case is the name of the manufacturer and model of the device. As already noted, the tablet is equipped with two cameras located in the middle of the upper part of the panel at the front of the gadget and the body at the back. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, the tablet is suitable for fashion-conscious teenagers and, of course, discreet business people.
Screen
The SUPRA M142G display is glossy and supports multi-touch functionality. The review gave good results - SUPRA offers high-quality touch coverage; Typing, gameplay and other manipulations with the display are performed quickly and easily. A huge advantage of the model is the screen size - 10.1 inches, which allows you not only to conveniently use various thematic applications, but also to enjoy watching your favorite films, videos or photos. A large and high-quality display is the main advantage of the M142G; thanks to it, the tablet can be used for both work and entertainment, and it will also become a good companion on various trains and trips.
Performance
SUPRA M142G is equipped with a fairly powerful MediaTek MT8382 processor (frequency 1.3 GHz). The four processor cores do an excellent job and allow the user to open and use multiple applications at the same time. So, a tablet can become a music player and an interesting e-reader, a game console and an exciting radio, or any other modern gadgets.
Multimedia capabilities
The modern world of multimedia is rich and diverse; there are many different formats for both video and music files or pictures. The multimedia capabilities of the tablet computer under discussion were pleasantly surprising - SUPRA supports the following formats: video files - MPEG, FLV, AVI, MPG, MP4, WMV, MKV, MOV, audio - MP3, MA4, 3GP, M4A, WMA, WAV, OGG, MP2, APE , AAC, FLAC, popular image formats - JPEG, PNG, GIF, LWF and others.
Battery
The tablet is equipped with a battery capacity of 7000 mAh. The battery allows the device to work without recharging for up to 8 hours. The owner of the SUPRA M142G can safely enjoy his favorite movies, communicate with friends on various social networks, or surf the Internet in search of the necessary information. Review and testing of the tablet confirmed the battery capabilities declared by the manufacturers.
Camera
The review of the cameras of today's hero was not particularly impressive. To put it mildly, both cameras are weak, and their megapixels are only suitable for communicating on Skype or for amateur photography for yourself. The front camera has only 0.3 megapixels, and the rear one has 2.0 megapixels. But if you take into account the cost of this 3G device, then such results are very justified. So if the user is not looking for a tablet that can fully replace a good camera, then SUPRA will cope with the minimum requirements for both.
Operating system and programs
SUPRA M142G runs Android 4.4, an improved version of the popular operating system. The M142G OS offers not only a modified main interface of system applications, but also the addition of new additional elements. The tablet's operating system allows you to use a huge number of worthy and very exciting devices based on it. The device can quickly connect to a Wi-Fi network, it has built-in Bluetooth, and will also delight the owner with GPS support and a GSM/3G module, which, by the way, allows the tablet to perform the functions of a mobile phone.
Competitors
One of the advantageous characteristics of the SUPRA M142G tablet, compared to its competitors, is its low cost. Of course, the technical characteristics of the device are inferior to similar devices from other manufacturers, but the price adequately justifies this fact. The thing is that the SUPRA company has a fairly aggressive pricing policy, which affects the low cost of the products offered.
