Introducing KDDI's 8-inch Android tablet "Qua tab QZ8" for au with photos and videos! With a cute color like stationery, it can also be used as a mobile battery [Report] --S-MAX
As previously reported, KDDI and Okinawa Cellular Telephone announced the "Spring 2018 model" for au, and the new 8-inch "Qua tab QZ8 (model number: KYT32)" (manufactured by Kyocera) as the au original brand tablet "Qua tab" series. Was released on January 19th. It is sold at au mobile phone dealers such as au shops and mass retailers and the official Web store "au Online Shop", and the price at the au Online Shop is 43,200 yen (tax included) in a lump sum, which is the actual price after applying the monthly discount. The burden is 27,000 yen (tax included). This time, I had the opportunity to touch the actual Qua tab QZ8 at the touch & try corner attached to the briefing held on January 9, so I will introduce the features and specifications of the product with photos and videos. The main body color is chocolate mint, off-white, and mocha black. ■ Rollbahn fashionable mobile tablet The Qua tab series has become a standard Android tablet for au, but this time it has casual color variations and the stationery brand "Rollbahn". ) ”Is a major feature. In addition to selling a notebook-type case "Rollbahn flap case" that matches the pop body color from the official accessory brand "au +1 collection", we will also carry out a campaign to present commemorative original notes by lottery. The Rollbahn flap case is not just a notebook type case, but it can also be used as a tablet stand by deforming the back, so it is a big feature that you do not have to carry a separate tablet stand when watching videos. 8-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200 dots) TFT LCD is used for the display . Rollbahn is a stationery brand that is popular with high school and university students. The Rollbahn flap case can be transformed in this way and used as a stand. Also, this unit has 5200mAh. It is equipped with a large-capacity battery and supports "battery power supply" that can supply power to smartphones (smartphones) by using a dedicated charging cable (sold separately). The weight of the main body is 325g, which is relatively lightweight and easy to carry, so it is a convenient specification that can be carried not only as a tablet but also as a mobile battery for smartphones. Power is being supplied from this unit to the Qua phone QZ When the power supply cable is connected, a selection dialog like this is displayed . A major feature is that multiple convenient dedicated apps have been added. "Children's lock" limits the usage time and apps that can be used so that even small children can use the tablet with peace of mind. For example, it is very convenient when you want to watch a video for only one hour with the YouTube app. To use it, just start the child lock from the pull-down menu after starting the application to be used. With Child Lock, you can't quit an app or launch another app until you unlock it, preventing children from mischievous or launching apps you don't want to use. If you set the usage time with child lock, the terminal itself will be locked when the time comes, and the password with a mixture of alphanumericals and kanji will be displayed for unlocking, and it can not be unlocked unless you enter it. However, it is said that this is because the child lock function is targeted for preschool children and children up to the lower grades of elementary school, and there is a risk of forgetting the password if the password is set arbitrarily. The explanation staff says that the specifications have become like this. It seems to be difficult until the lower grades of elementary school because you can not input unless you can read Chinese characters. Cook Plus is an application that divides the screen into two and you can enjoy watching videos while displaying cooking recipes. Similar functions are standard on Android, but this app makes it easy to use from the app. The assumed usage scene is the kitchen, etc., and the application that can be used with the recipe search can be added or deleted by the user at will. This is the Cook Plus screen of the sister machine Qua tab QZ10. Since the recipe search is performed on the web browser, general websites can also be used. In addition, an "enlarged display mode" application that allows you to enlarge the icons and font size on the screen with the touch of a button has been added to the Android tablet. It has been devised so that even people who are not familiar with it can handle it more easily. When the display enlargement mode is set, icons etc. are displayed so large ■ The tablet that is easy to use with smartphone + α For basic performance, Qualcomm's "Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937 / 1.4GHz x 4 cores + 1.1GHz x 4 cores)" is used for the SoC. Adopted, built-in memory (RAM) is 3GB, built-in storage is 32GB and has plenty of content. Combined with a large capacity battery, it can be used comfortably for a long time. The camera performance is about 13 million pixel CMOS for the rear camera and about 5 million pixel CMOS for the front camera, and it adopts "image plane phase difference autofocus" that focuses quickly and has high followability to the subject. It also supports "HDR shooting" that corrects exposure and suppresses overexposure and underexposure in scenes where there is a large difference in brightness between the subject and the background. USB Type-C is used for the external output terminal. Earphone jack is placed on the opposite side . You can see the design of this unit and explanations of various applications from the following video. In the video, the "enlarged display mode" application is mistakenly called "enlarged display memo". We apologize for the correction.
