When it comes to games, I believe that for the "old boys" of the post-80s generation like the author, the memories still fresh are those of the "little bully" and the "boxing king" in the game room and the PSP/NDS dual mechanism bully after school. For young people born in the Internet generation, online games and popular mobile games are their favorite. But whether it was once the king of handheld games or now mobile games are flying all over the world. Games have always been one of the eternal themes of "boys" who are not old enough. Although there are many excellent works on platforms such as tablets and mobile phones, for the author who is accustomed to physical keys, touch experience really affects the perception of experience, with less "pleasure". The WINKPAX produced by "Male Whale Technology" solves this problem better. Through the combination of tablet and handle, it will be a game handheld, and it will be connected to the TV as the host for public entertainment. The product name of WINKPAX is also meaningful, WINK means "blink of an eye", while PAX can be understood as a mixture of PAD (tablet, or even PS series dual platform) and X-BOX (game console). The combination of the two is self-evident, which means WINKPAX's powerful game performance. It can not only play with a handle as a handheld, but also play with a TV as a home computer, and of course, can be separated as an entertainment tablet. It can be said that there are various playing methods, which are born for games. You can regard it as a tablet, a handheld computer, or a multi platform entertainment host. How does it behave after all that nonsense? Let's have a look.
As a tablet, the package of WINK PAX looks very big. The whole body is black, and both front and back are printed in English, full of the flavor of "black technology". The front box draws the display picture of the product's front and back bevel effect, which makes people want to have a look at it immediately.
The back of the package is more international, with English and two rows of foreign languages on the top, integrating fully 6+1 languages (Shenma, France, India, Japan and South Korea, I will not know them later) to express the four connection methods of its products (supporting wireless, Bluetooth, handle and display HDMI), which immediately gives a sense of "being tall and tall".
The bottom of the back is equipped with a full picture of the host with a handle. There is only one line below it printed with the manufacturer (the male whale network), website, shop, and community in Chinese.
Both sides of the package are sealed. The box opening has a strong sense of damping. There are shockproof cotton pads on the inside of the box cover. The host and handle are stacked side by side. The clamping position is very tight, and the protection measures are quite adequate. Other contents are "hidden" in the concave box on the back of the host.
The accessories lineup is luxurious. In addition to the standard charger and USB connection cable, MicroHDMI HD cable and film are additionally equipped, which can be said to be full of sincerity. In terms of paper products, quick start guide, certificate and warranty card are also available.
The charger is of solid workmanship, with a specification of 5V 2A. It can also be used for ordinary mobile phone chargers.
Compared with other tablets that the author has played with, WINKPAX uses chamfer design at the corners of the tablet, adding a touch of personality and fashion to the original "handsome" appearance with sharp edges and corners. The front of the fuselage is very clean without LOGO "interference". The lower left and right frames are designed to be wide horizontally, so as to avoid misoperation when holding with both hands. The overall size is 214x124.5x9mm, which is not much different from the size of the 7-inch flat plate used by the author.
The earpiece and front camera (800W) on the top of one side of the body indicate that it can also be used as a mobile phone. In addition, there is a light sensor hidden beside it.
There is a touch of "enchanting" blue at the "waist seal" on the side of the machine. The power button and volume adjustment button are among them. The button strength is moderate. Although it is plastic, it does not feel tired.
Interfaces on the top of the fuselage (earpiece end): Mirco HDMI interface (for connecting TV and other monitors), MicroUSB interface (for power or data connection) and 3.5mm headphone jack.
The back of the plate is made of titanium aluminum alloy and is coated with black matte. It feels good, but there are triangular blue lines left at the right and left corners of the rectangle, which can be divided into three sections. Both sides are made of plastic, which is easy to handle. The black and blue color matching on the back, the "W" logo in the middle, and the sharp angular lines give people a strong visual impact. Specification information is printed on the upper right corner of the back.
Striped anti-skid areas are reserved at the left and right corners, one side of which is a single speaker and a concave point on the other side (the handle slot is used to combine the clamping positions). Although the external effect is ordinary, the volume is still sufficient.
On the other side, you can pull the back cover upwards, and you can see the SIM and TF card slots under the blue background backplane, as well as the rear 1300W camera and fill light on one side. WINKPAX supports 4/3G full network communication. In addition to calls, you can open a traffic packet to play online games all the time.
Although it is an 8-inch tablet, WINKPAX does not feel "bloated" compared with the ordinary 7-inch tablet in size. It is almost the same size compared with the ordinary 7-inch tablet.
In terms of the handle, BAT man's design inspiration is adopted in the appearance. The "bat" design and the "black metal" connecting rod are not only larger than ordinary handles, but also more personalized. In addition, the addition of dual vibration motors also makes the game experience more meaningful.
The key position distribution is no different from that in general. The electroplated Power key at the center of the top of the handle is also equipped with a "W" shaped breathing light. Press it for 5 seconds until the blue flash flashes to enter the pairing state. The red light will always be on when charging.
The lock catch on the back of the handle and the corresponding sliding catch on both sides (locked and fixed, unlocked and released):
By pressing and holding the button on the back of the handle, while pulling the handle outward, the handle can be expanded, and the handle under "full body" is more like a "black bat" "spreading its wings".
It can be opened or stored freely, and can be used in different occasions. The groove at the connection is quite stable, which can firmly fix the flat plate without worrying about falling off when playing. Built in 800mA battery ensures long life. After the tablet is connected with the handle, it looks like a large game handheld. The weight of the whole machine+handle is about 730 grams. In fact, after playing with it for a long time, you will still be tired. Of course, you can also remove it, put the tablet on the bracket or even connect it to the TV, and then use the handle to play. As for those who want to go out of the street and play while walking, the author suggests choosing a roadside pavilion, a park pavilion or a subway bus seat.
The WINKPAX tablet is equipped with an 8-inch full HD (1920 * 1200 resolution) screen. Its PPI has reached 283, and the display effect is quite exquisite. The IPS screen and the use of full fitting technology make it look good, not only in dead corners, but also in outdoor use. In terms of hardware, it is equipped with an eight core 64 bit processor with a main frequency of 1.3GHz. Although the configuration of 2G operation memory+32G storage space is not close to the flagship configuration, it is still enough (the following is the running score chart of Anthare. Although the score of 4W is smaller than that of flagship phones, which are often more than 100000, the actual application experience is good thanks to system optimization).
Whether it's switching between applications or playing various mainstream games, we can handle it calmly. The optimization of the system was pretty good. The built-in battery is 5400 mA, which is relatively large for an eight inch tablet. Officially, it can meet 500 hours of standby time and 14 hours of non-stop use. It won't worry about the embarrassment of automatic shutdown when the power is low when you are just having fun.
The system has a detailed introduction guide, accompanied by video tutorials, to teach you how to play with the tablet. Even Xiaobai, a novice player, can easily deal with it after watching it.
Swipe left to the split screen home page to see the "WeChat desktop", which uses the Metro interface. From video to games, each sub item function is clear at a glance. WINK PAX adopts the one-stop membership system. The first use requires registration and login, and a series of activities will be launched in the future.
The tablet system is WINK OS customized by WINKPAX (based on Android 5.1 version), but its basic operation and interface functions are not different from those of the original, except for the "WeChat desktop" on the first screen, which is very easy to use. For the convenience of users' entertainment experience, the system has built-in some practical video APPs (such as the popular Taijie video), but they are not many and can be uninstalled. The shortcut bar will pop up when you pull down from the top, and the utility APP list will pop up when you click the "triangle" at the bottom left corner. It is quite practical. The interface uses virtual keys, but can be set to "auto hide". Among the five "navigation" functions, dialing and text messaging are among the most impressive. In fact, it is still a large "mobile phone".
Like other domestic customized systems, the tablet also has its own WPAX mall, which can download, install and manage games and applications. It is rich in resources. The update of some popular masterpieces is also timely, and there are basically all the ones that should be.
As a game tablet, I believe that everyone must be very excited about its game experience. Although the hardware performance is not top class, the author hasn't felt stuck, sluggish, or crash in the middle of the game experience in recent years. The compatibility and stability of the game are worthy of affirmation. On the handle side, most of the games that have been played, from popular masterpieces to hard to play skits, can be played properly. In the games tested by the author, such as Wild Racing 8, Shadow Gun, Ju Bang, Vanity, King's Glory, Wild Blood, etc., the controller can be well supported, and there is no jam in the whole process.
The old classic game Shadow Gun has the best support for the handle. In addition to the special area for console games in the app store, popular third-party platforms such as Grape Game Hall also provide numerous console game resources, including some excellent works. The adaptation and reconnection of the panel and the handle are very fast. In the game experience, both the sense of attack when encountering the enemy and the sense of collision when racing can be felt through the vibration feedback of the handle, and the vibration is quite strong.
Jupao: At present, it is very popular and very durable. The sense of attack and rhythm during the game is very strong, which makes people feel very happy. The metal back of the panel has a good heat dissipation effect. The heating control is also very good, and there will be no "hand warming treasure".
Nowadays, there are more and more PVP competitive games like King Glory, which are full of tension in the process of playing. It is very voluminous to immerse people in. The pleasant feeling brought by the practical operation with the large screen+handle of the tablet is not at the same level as that brought by the mobile phone.
The built-in "Gelaiyun" game platform of WINK PAX is another highlight. The game can be stored in the cloud, and cross screen online (that is, players using different devices in different regions can play the same game through the cloud platform), multi player on screen and other functions can be achieved through high-speed network. As long as your Internet speed is fast enough, you can easily and smoothly play PC level masterpieces through mobile phones, tablets and other devices. Such as the Middle Earth World, the Extreme Storm 4, and the Bullet Burst 2. It is especially comfortable to play with the handle. The author suggests playing with TV to enjoy a better experience.
However, the initial use also requires registration, and Geleyun games are charged (G coins and cloud shells). There are two modes, namely, buy out by time and buy out directly. The former can be hourly or monthly. The latter can be played at any time after one-time purchase.
Archive at any time during play. However, there will be a time limit for non members to try the game, and they need to queue up. VIP will not. Of course, we can also win some free services through online activities. Cloud games support handles perfectly, and the game loads quickly (as long as the network speed is fast). However, due to the resolution limit, the font in the screen is too small, and the image is slightly blurred. It is recommended to play directly with the TV. The real machine runs smoothly.
In addition to games, the built-in 800W front+1300W rear camera of WINKPAX is not as effective as that of mobile phones, but it is good for taking photos of flowers and plants. Occasionally, it is cute to take selfies. The photo app has its own beauty function and a variety of real-time special effects for selection. Overall, the quality of the actual shooting was fairly good.
When it comes to entertainment, besides games, of course, audio and video functions are also essential. The system has built-in online audio and video apps, which are also rich in resources. The latest popular movies and TV programs are covered, and it is basically unnecessary to install a third party. Using HDMI connected TV as a smart box will give you a better impression under the large screen.
Conclusion: WINK PAX is positioned by male whales as a "entertainment terminal" for a whole period of time. It's quite a "full function" bully. The addition of a "fit" handle enables it to "shake its body" and become a game handheld. The relatively portable size and the addition of HDMI provide a "large screen" guarantee for video and audio entertainment. The dual camera+call design allows it to be used as a "large screen" mobile phone occasionally. Multi role switching can better meet diversified needs. But the core competitiveness of WINK PAX still lies in "games". Compared with the general tablet, the detachable and detachable design is more free, and the creation of the exclusive game resource platform has added a lot of points to it. If we can continue this advantage in subsequent models, improve the hardware configuration, enhance the function, and increase more game adaptability, we believe that its all-round "game tablet" will go further.
