I am wondering as why all the
manufacturers are releasing their
tablets so eagely in this week
only,as i have covered tablets from
FLy,Intex,Spice in just 3-4
days.Zync on the race has also
launched its tablet dubbed as Zync
Quad 10.1 tablet at a price tag of
INR 14,990.As the name suggests it
is based on quad-core processor
and features a full HD screen.The
tab is supposed to face
competition with WickedLeak
Wammy Magnus that has similar
set of features in this price range.
Display
Zync has talked about the display quite a bit when referring to the Quad 10.1 tablet. The 10.1 inch IPS panel has a resolution of 1920x 1200 ie Full HD. Text appears very crisp and video looks great. Because of the relatively high 224 PPI pixel density of the panel, you will struggle to spot any pixels. The panel has good color reproduction with deep blacks and well saturated and vibrant colors. Day light visibility is decent though the screen attracts a lot of scuffs that might make it difficult to view outdoors. The brightness level however is just about sufficient and we would’ve appreciated it if it went up another level or two. Another issue we faced was the uneven backlighting on the screen. It can’t be spotted very easily and might just have been an issue on our unit but it is worth a mention. Something worth keeping an eye out for.

Performance
The Zync Quad 10.1 tablet is
hardly going to set any benchmark
records. Under the hood is a 1.5
Ghz QuadCore processor paired
with a Mali 400 GPU and 2 GB of
RAM. Performance is a hit or miss with lags and pauses even while navigating the interface. The tablet is able to run most common apps with ease and popular games work without any hassle. That said, we were not really satisfied with the day to day performance. Synthetic benchmark tests back this up with a very minimal improvement over the Zync Pad Quad 9.7 that we reviewed earlier this year.
Camera
The Zync Quad 10.1 tablet has been equipped with a 5MP rear facing camera and a 2MP front facing snapper. We really don’t expect you to go around shooting your vacation photos with this but it’ll do the job if the situation arrises. The rear shooter is well placed to snap images of documents and other important pieces of paper you might have lying around. Image quality is passable and drastically drops in lower lighting conditions. The front camera is just about good enough to enable video calling over Skype or other similar messaging applications. Dynamic range on the camera module is very limited and images tend to look dull. White levels in bright areas are often blown out. As can be seen in the above image, the photograph is fairly washed out as the camera has boosted the exposure levels indicating a low dynamic range. The heightened exposure has also blown out the highlights.
Battery Life
We weren’t too impressed by the battery life on the Zync Quad 10.1. Our battery life testing procedure involves gauging how a device performs under a heavy use scenario so that you have an approximate idea of the bare minimum you should be able to get. The Zync Quad 10.1 was tested with WiFi on and connected, screen set to 65% brightness and under a simulated heavy usage load. We’ve plotted out points to show you battery drop at the 75%, 50% and then the 20% mark. As you can see, under heavy usage it is possible to deplete the battery on the tablet in just about 3.5 hours. Not impressive but perhaps not the worst out there. Under an average work load we could get about 6-7 hours of usage time.
Conclusion
The Zync Quad 10.1 tablet couples a great screen with middling performance at an interesting price point. We weren quite disappointed by the sluggishness in day to day usage and the camera too was nothing out of the ordinary. Add to that the below average battery life and we can’t really recommend the tablet. Go for it only if your sole criteria of selection is the Full HD screen on the tablet. The Zync Quad 10.1 is priced at Rs. 14,990.
