Tablet PC: Colorfly U781 Q1 Quad-Core 7.85-inch IPS screen 1GB 16GB

Like the mainstream small-size domestic tablets in the market, Colorfly U781 Q1 also adopts a 7.85-inch IPS screen, which is collocated with 1GB RAM and 16GB storage. Then what about its highlights? In my opinion, these are the exclusive ColorDisplay screen display strengthening technology as well as Allwinner A31S quad-core processor with low power dissipation.

Therefore, we shall review its detailed performance in various aspects.
The appearance evaluation
Some friends will think Colorfly U781 Q1 to be an iPad mini because they are much too alike to each other in both the 7.85-inch ultra-thin panel and the design of narrow edging. Notwithstanding, lots of difference can be still found with meticulous examination.

(the close-up of the front-facing camera)
Although the frontage is highly identical to iPad mini, it is noticed that the Home key is designed onto the top part of the panel, which seems more integral.

(the back core of the tablet)

(the close-up of the logo on the back core)
As to the back core, though both adopt the metal material, the color differs. Besides, the difference still exists in the metal material and the touch feeling is somehow comfortable. On the whole, the magnesium aluminum material adopted by the back core can not be compared with aviation-level material, but Colorfly U781 Q1 is in the superior level among the domestic tablets.

(the view of the expansion interaces)
Its expansion interface is also quite various, including the TF card expansion slot and HDMI interface and so on. Moreover, the OTG expansion data cable is also attached, with which we can surfing the Internet via 3G wireless network.
The screen evaluation
For both smart phones and tablets, the screen’s display effect is quite important. Colorfly U781 Q1 is collocated with a high-quality IPS screen with 1024×768 resolution. Though the hardware is normal, its exclusive ColorDisplay screen display strengthening technology will have better performance in hue, color, and contrast. Then we’ll turn to the sample pictures for evaluation.

The advantage of IPS screen is that it can have excellent display effect in any angle, but what about the performance in visible angle? From the pictures can we observe Colorfly U781 Q1 has quite amazing performance in this aspect and the content on the screen can be even seen clearly from the side.
Large-scale 3D games experience
Then we shall come into the a very important procedure-game test. Though Colorful U781 Q1 adopts Allwinner A31S processor, which is of low power dissipation, it is equipped with octo-core PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphic chip, which contributes to the good performance in the games. Then two games are selected to test the function.

(NBA 2K13)
NBA 2K released by 2K Sports is no doubt the most popular basketball game, which is bound to be loved by basketball fans. With the success made in PC and household consoles, the game is also released on the mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. Though the image of NBA 2K13 is not as florid as that of the household consoles, it can be still outstanding among the various tablet games. Then we shall try the game via PIPO M6.

(details of character’s depiction)
NBA 2K13 is called the “killer of the domestic tablets” for both the multifarious game materials and complicating operation are the extreme challenges. Before entering the game, I’m still upset over its processor with low power dissipation. However, when the game is processed, all the anxiety vanishes. Colorfly U781 Q1 can perfectly process NBA2K13. Though the image can not turned to the best level due to the resolution and power dissipation, the actions and the facial features of the players can be vividly and exquisitely displayed. If you are the basketball fan, it’s indefinitely the produce worthy to be purchased.

(the Dungeon Hunter4)
The Dungeon Hunter is the historic masterpiece released by Gameloft, which is of new story, new task, novel dungeon as well as a redefined technology system to be grasped. The background is set in Baron and Clasie. Besides its exquisite image, the multifarious elements in the game are also attractive, which have high requirements for the kinds of aspects of the equipments.

(the screenshot of the game)
Though Dungeon Hunter4 is the 3D game with exquisite image and various game elements, the depiction of human features is not that amazing, so the operation is somehow easier. Colorfly U781 Q1 is capable enough of operating these games and no pause occurs.
The Internet surfing is quite enjoyable and HD video playing is smooth.
In fact the Internet surfing effect is decided by two points, one is the webpage loading speed ,and the other is the smoothness of webpage operation. The loading speed is based on the network condition and its own hardware property. In the good condition of network, ZOL and Youku can be opened via the preinstalled browser in seconds, besides, Flash can be displayed in normal.

(the home page of ZOL is loaded quite perfectly.)

(the Youku video can be loaded perfectly.)
As to the fluency of webpage operation, Colorfly U781 Q1 does a really good job in optimization of webpage browsing and it is quite smooth both in zooming.

(Youku ultra-HD videos can be played quite smoothly.)
Playing the online videos is also quite normal. The Allwinner A31 supports Flash and HTML5. The ultra-HD videos can be played quite smoothly.

(1080p HD video can be played quite smoothly.)

(4K videos can be also played quite smoothly.)

From the official website can we know that Allwinner A31S has powerful decoding ability and the 4K-degree videos can be played. By testing the 1080p videos can be played well and even no pause occurs in the operasations of FF and replay. The comprehensive effect is satisfactory.
conclusion
After the testing can we know that Colorfly U781 Q1 does not imitate iPad mini for it has advantage in portability. Besides, the adoption of Allwinner A31S is also the spotlight. Though the power dissipation is lowered, the powerful graphic chip remains. Maybe there is still gap between Colorfly U781 Q1 and those products with international brands, nevertheless, selling at the price of less than 163 bucks, Colorfly U781 Q1 is indefinitely the ideal choice.
