[The Torminator]

Sound quality:

Lets start with the built-in speaker. If no earphones it plugged, the built-in speaker will be activated. The sound coming I would saying isn't that very accurate, but will create satisfying volume in most cases.
The earbuds does well, easy said. I think they are on par with most standard earbuds but again the build quality is very nice compare to most typical ones.

For a good source test, I still prefer to use in-ears myself as they usual more comfortable, fit more securely and at some point raise sound level into an bigger scale.
For this review I will be using a pair of UE's current high-end universal flagship model - Triple.fi 10. This might be crazy, but I assure these will point out any small details for me that this player can do.

My first impressions of the sound were quite neutral signature, not cold, neither warm in any way. The player is able to produce very nice detail out of every track.(something I truly unexpected from this player.) Mids are taking out very decently but not perfect. The lows are not that forwarded, whenever EQ are chosen or not. This player won't be for bass lovers in any way, that's for sure. I found the high frequencies a bit sibilant, the JAZZ setting quickly solved that, making the overall impressions pretty pleasant.
One thing I noticed, especially when NORMAL EQ were selected, the player plays surprisingly loud. (wow) Even at the very low setting, the player brings out fairly good volume. This one won't pass through EU regulations for sure, so I just say be careful with this thing. I also think people will have one problem here, because some won't be able to select an enought low volume.
I also noticed some hiss in background both during playing and muted but were expected at this price range.


Screen quality:

I will cover a little bit of screen performance, not that I'm expecting much from this player. Firstly the viewing angels. You WILL have to watch from an straight direction in order to get decent colors and contrast levels. Tilting the screen up and down direction greatly washing out the image but hey this is not middle class, neither high end. From side viewing, the image does keep colors pretty good, I see especially positive when viewing movies. Screen detail is very good. I'm impressed how this player is able to do. Menus stands out clear and sharp. Still noticed little loss of detail by images and videos compare to more expensive devices, but again I can't blame this 28 dollar and 8 cent player from anything., it does really fine.


Picture viewer:

A fairly simple viewer you get with this touch player. Specify a folder where your images is located and the selected will be displayed. It's also possible to create slideshower with different intervals. Pressing the screen will showing up filename and resolution. You can with both touch and keys scroll through images and even rotate them. I maybe wished I could set a picture as wallpaper but no.




Camera:

The built-in camera takes 1280 x 1024 images, 640 x 480 images or 4 320 x 240 pixels sized images in a row (Successive Capture). It's possible to set Successive Capture, resolution and delayed shutter directly on the screen. A menu can also be open to adjust additional image quality of Low, Middle or High and to turn off the high bright LED either on or not.
There is no zoom available, neither digital or optical but the player got autofocus.

Quality of the images on highest settings are however not very impressive. Images looks very washed out and have no detail at all. Choosing one of the lower resolutions will make better results, although might be images you get are so tiny heheh.

The video recorder takes out very similar, however there is no really adjustments you can do here. Only you can set resolution and file format. The player can capture AVI video's in 640 x 480, 352x 288, 172 x 144 resolution and 3gp video's in 352x 288 or 172 x 144.
In any case the video quality will be low. I can assure the camera isn't the big deal but it's still amazing there is one to find isn't it?


Video player:

Video player supports AVI, 3GP and MP4 formats. In most cases they properly needed to be converted in order they can be played. To this a CD was included to help getting started. It actually contains a lot of different tools, I concluded it would take forever finding the right one. Lucky wise TinyDeal has included a readme file giving the user some guideline what program to use. I then tried AVIConverter on the list with a few AVI's in HD. I ended up with nice playing videos as shown above, awesome!
The video player will show current time and total play time of the current playing file. The player will also remember the moment where last stopped and will continue form there next time, even if the player have been turned off. The speaker icon will let you adjust volume with + - key and like with images, you can easily rotate the video.
