HIPSTREET FLARE 2 TABLET REVIEWS ANDROID
With a Dual Core processor and the Android 4.1 (Jellybean) operating system, the Flare 2 is a customizable and fluid experience for any user. While this score outranks the marks for D2 Pad (6,429) and Genesis Prime (5,903), it falls below the 7,329 category average as well as the scores for the Kyros (7,109) and Sero 7 LT (7,827).Hip Street FLARE 2 9DTB7-8CS-BND1 9-Inch 8 GB Tablet-Innovation continues at Hip street with our latest Google experience, the Flare 2! Built with a 9-Inch LCD screen and an HDMI out that allows you to connect your tablet to a TV, the Flare 2 is perfect for entertainment and productivity on the go or at home. With a score of 6,972, the Titan didn't do so hot on the An3DBench graphics benchmark. Although that outperforms the D2 Pad (3,378), the Genesis Prime (2,684) and the Kyros (3,632), the Sero 7 LT blows the Titan away with 8,765. Results from synthetic benchmarks, such as AnTuTu, were better than most but not impressive. Gamevil's "Dark Avenger," a 3D action role-playing game, took a whopping 27 seconds to load and was barely playable through incessant stuttering and disjointed animations. "Angry Birds Friends" took just 11 seconds to load and played smoothly, but characters looked like multicolored blobs when the view was zoomed out. For tasks like switching orientations, launching apps, opening browser tabs and launching the keyboard, the Titan could not keep up with our taps and swipes.Īpps as lightweight as the Photo Gallery crashed when we swiped between images.

So, it's no surprise that the Titan was sluggish at best. Those components are on a par with the D2 Pad, Genesis Prime and Kyros, but are easily outclassed by the Sero 7 LT.

Most budget tablets suffer from similar issues.Ĭlick to EnlargePacking a 1.2-GHz single-core ARMv7 processor and 512MB of RAM, the Titan isn't capable of much more than light Web browsing and social networking.

The Titan managed to produce full sound when we listened to Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound." By the chorus, though, the synthesizer fought with the bass and lost. Volume-wise, the Titan's audio sits somewhere between the speaker on the D2 Pad and the one on the Sero 7 LT. The cheaper D2 Pad beats that score, with 253 lux.Īlthough it has only a single speaker, audio from the Titan generally sounded better than other tablets of its kind. However, that shines brighter than the $79 Ematic Genesis Prime (166 lux), the Kyros (174 lux) and even the 204 lux registered by the Sero 7 LT. On the Titan, swipes were often mistaken for touches, which could prove troublesome for "Angry Birds" fans.Īt just 212 lux, the Titan lags far behind the screen-brightness category average of 363 lux. It was difficult not only to read the text on icons and Web pages, but also to use the touch screen. We'd be remiss not to mention the extremely narrow viewing angles. Distant objects in darker scenes were lost in blacks, and it was tough to focus on the witty banter between Jonah Hill and James Franco through the distracting glare. When we watched the trailer for "This Is the End," the Titan failed to keep up as Seth Rogen and friends ran from sinkholes and firestorms of biblical proportions. For $50 more, you can enjoy a 1280 x 800 IPS panel on the Sero 7 Pro. Click to EnlargeThe 800 x 480 resolution display on the Titan puts it in the same league as just about every other tablet available for under $100, save for the Sero 7 LT, which bumps up the count to 1024 x 600.
