Excellent detail and visibility

In most use cases, pronounced artifacts do not appear in the picture.

Such video is played with increased brightness level and greater colour depth, that is, it looks clear, juicy and spectacular. In addition, as expected IPS, the image almost does not fade and is not distorted with increasing viewing angles.

Motionflow XR interpolation technology helps with the processing of fast-changing footage. It increases the refresh rate up to 400 fps, thereby adding smoothness.

Sound and interfaces at the level

The acoustic system of the model is represented by a pair of 10-watt speakers with support for popular audio decoders (Dolby and DTS). You can improve the basic sound quality by connecting additional devices, with which both wired interfaces and Bluetooth will help.

The set of ports on the back of the case includes 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports. The urgent need to connect to the Internet via LAN is eliminated by Wi-Fi 5.

Intuitive Android

It combines high performance and prompt response to user commands, an intuitive and well-organized interface, and a rich selection of applications. Quickly master all the possibilities of the shell will allow the remote control with the voice assistant Google Assistant.
