There are two metallic strips working down either side, which curve across the high and backside corners. The rounded ends of every strip seem like secured with rivets, although these may also be purely beauty in function. Whereas this might need seemed good if fabricated properly, we discovered that the strips and rivets weren’t flush with the physique, and had been subsequently vulnerable to getting snagged on garments and baggage.

The Canvas Tab P666 is offered in black and white, and on our white unit the very seen earpiece, entrance digital camera and sensor cutouts served to inform us which approach was up and which was down.

AnTuTu and Quadrant gave us scores of 17,499 and 6,909 respectively, that are each nearly at par with immediately’s entry-level smartphones.

Sound from the dual audio system was additionally fairly good – tinny, however loud with minimal distortion.

The display is a bit grainy and although it could possibly get fairly vivid, legibility isn’t excellent in daylight. It is okay for studying textual content on. The digital camera is kind of atrocious, and samples taken in broad daylight exhibited excessive ranges of noise and poor definition of particulars.
