It has dimensions of 243 x 173.5 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 550 g, which makes it manageable with just one hand. It is only available in white.

Screen and sound

Leotec Qi32 is a good multimedia player thanks to the 10.1-inch capacitive screen, with 5 multi-touch points. Incorporates a IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. This panel allows for good viewing angles, brightness and natural colors. The pixel density is 149 dpi, a somewhat low figure but that shows videos or photos very well. It would also have been better to select a Full HD panel, but it would make the product more expensive and the autonomy would be greatly affected. In short, the screen responds very well and comfortably meets the visual demands of an average user due to its IPS panel.

In addition, they have enough power and clarity for rock listening with little distortion at maximum volume.

Leotec device includes FM Radio using the headphones as an antenna (without depending on the internet as in other brands).

Cameras, connectivity and autonomy

“As a rule, tablets do not usually incorporate quality cameras.” Leotec turns a deaf ear and chooses to incorporate a couple of good cameras, 5 MP for the main and 2 MP for the front. They are cameras that do not stand out for their resolutions, but they exceed the usual 2 MP that many brands incorporate. In addition, we have different filters, scene modes and lighting of our choice. In good light, photos look fine but noise is very visible in low light. The camera interface is easy to use. Recording of Full HD video with the main camera and HD with the secondary one.
