Jingxing S7100: Android tablet dedicated to games

A company called Jingxing Venus has unveiled the S7100, a touch pad running Android and embedding a battery of buttons designed to orient the side of video games. If the principle is interesting, this tablet shows Chinese still some limitations that may be possible to get around, especially considering its price.
The Venus S7100 could it be the tablet that the Xperia Play is for smartphones, including Android terminal dedicated to the game? If the concept can leave dreamer, he is not certain that the Chinese firm Jingxing book shelf here really at the forefront, particularly in its OS.


Indeed, the site explains Zol the tablet is running an outdated version of Android, namely 2.2 – the latest being the 4.0, which shows full compatibility with the interface shelf. Technically, the tablet 7-inch boarding still an ARM Cortex A9 processor coupled with 512MB of RAM, WiFi connectivity and 2 sensor 2 megapixel camera on the front and rear. Not a word, against, for its storage capacity and the rest of the connector.
The brand’s primary ahead of the tablet’s ability to run games, especially through emulators Playstation or Nintendo 64 – a practice legally questionable. Of course, the games running Android are also present but it will settle for versions that run on smartphones Android 2.2, knowing that the rendering is not always the most effective on a relatively large screen – unless change the version of the OS. To ensure a good grip, the tablet has two pad, a joystick and multiple buttons that make it look like an oddly PS Vita … and this is probably not a coincidence!
This tablet takes a lot to Chinese competition while maintaining its status as a touch pad Android. Its other advantage is its price, since it is found on pre-order sites in China around 110 euros. There is however little chance of such a device actually leaves the land of Asia.
