Design and materials
The Spanish brand Leotec launches its new tablet maintaining the careful design and the good choice of materials. Despite its low price, it presents a design with details that denote the work done by the brand. The Leotec Supernova Qi32 tablet features a polycarbonate body with a robust construction. Despite being made of plastic, the tablet barely warms up at maximum performance.
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. On the front of the tablet, we see the 2 MP front camera that is generally used for video calls. The screen is 10.1 inches, with a 16:10 aspect ratio and with an IPS panel. The screen bezels are just 1.5 cm, just enough to grip without covering the LCD.
The back is made of polycarbonate but with a matte finish that is very pleasant to the touch, does not leave marks and favors grip. Not missing one 5 MP main camera and a pair of speakers. Beneath the non-removable lid of the Leotec Supernova Qi32 is your 5,000 mAh battery. Finally, the serigraphy of the different connections and buttons located on the sides of the tablet.
The Leotec tablet lacks nothing. First of all, the HDMI video output for connection to screens or projectors. Another connection included is the Micro USB with OTG support for USB storage devices. This allows you to work with the files stored on any pendrive. On the left side, we have the 3.5 mm jack for headphones, microphone, power button and volume control. A button that deserves a separate mention is the “reset”, restarting the device if an app has frozen the tablet. We finish with the slot for microSD cards up to 32GB capacity.
Being a Spanish device, within the accessories we have two manuals in our language. Among the rest of accessories, an additional screen projector, 5 V – 2 A power adapter, Micro USB cable and a cleaning cloth.

The Leotec tablet has a Soc MediaTek MT8163, 4 cores Cortex A53 at 1.3 GHz together with a Mali 720 MP2 GPU. This model includes 2 GB of RAM, very well used by the Android 6.0 operating system. For storage memory, Leotec tablet incorporates 32 GB of which about 25 GB are available to the user. This capacity can be expanded by using microSD cards of up to 32 GB, a somewhat low figure. The device supports system updates via OTA from the tablet itself.
Performance is good for office tasks, web browsing and games with a medium polygon load. It is also a video player, compatible with the most common video formats but in resolutions no higher than 1080p (.avi, .mkv, .mov, .wmv, etc). In video games we will take full advantage of the huge 10.1-inch screen, including the gyroscope for games like Pokémon Go. Next, we leave you with the results obtained in the different tests carried out on the Leotec Supernova Qi32.
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.
The sound of the Leotec tablet is above other models in the range. The Leotec Supernova Qi32 incorporates two speakers, something that is not usually included in this type of device. In addition, they have enough power and clarity for rock listening with little distortion at maximum volume. It incorporates a sound improvement in the configuration section, with different enhancements and improvements. 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.
When it comes to connectivity, the Leotec Supernova Qi32 tablet lacks SIM card slots. But instead we receive the WiFi AC (2.4 and 5 GHz), significantly improving our downloads and web browsing. USB connection with OTG connectivity to work or enjoy our content stored on a storage device. The tablet includes WPS Office, the suite that brings together the popular office automation tools on your device. And we also have Bluetooth 4.0 to add keyboards, sound devices, wireless headphones, game controls, etc. If we want to see our content on a larger screen, it is possible to send the screen via streaming or use the Mini HDMI video output.
The battery built into the Leotec tablet is 5,000 mAh. It is not one of the highest on the market but it gives us autonomy approximately 5 hours of screen time. Although the battery cannot be replaced, it is possible to use a powerbank to extend its autonomy.
Another new Leotec device that passes through our hands and leaves us quite satisfied. The Leotec Supernova Qi32 is aimed at a low or medium consumer, who consumes online content (up to 720p), a tool for work with its 10.1 inches and a round price. Also, being a Spanish brand, there will be no problem with the SAT. He Best price on the net is given by PcComponentes, another great Spanish company with fast shipping. For just a little more, it’s also available at eBay, with fast and totally free shipping.
