Testing Denn DPE831B

Built-in memory capacity Denn DPE831B is 4 GB.

Denn DPE831B Memory Details

The interface of the set-top box is responsive, but there are occasional delays when selecting the “Video Recording” and “Camera” menu items.

Main menu Denn DPE831B

Before we conduct the actual game testing, let's go through the functions of the media player:

“Radio” - here it only works with headphones, and it doesn’t matter where you insert them - into a special or combined port. There is auto scanning and recording, called up in the menu by pressing the "A" button. The operating frequency range is from 87.5 to 108 MHz.

Radio Denn DPE831B

“Video recording” is a mode for recording video from a camera in resolutions of 320x240 and 640x480. There are few settings, but there is noise stabilization from artificial lighting and a night mode.

Denn DPE831B video recording settings

“Camera” - here we have a mode for taking photos with the player’s camera, the maximum resolution is 2592x1944, and the range of settings is close to video recording.

Denn DPE831B photo camera settings

“Video” - this section contains the video player. It only sees the contents of the "VIDEO" folder in the device's memory, so you have to worry about sorting the content - viewing photos and listening to music also suffer from this. RM/RMVB, AVI, ASF, FLV, 3GP, MP4 are supported in resolutions up to 720x576.

Viewing video files in the Denn DPE831B memory Player Denn DPE831B

"Music" is a music player that supports lyrics in MP3. Playable formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, FLAC, APE with bitrates up to 320 Kbps.

"Pictures" - gallery and viewing of photos in JPG format.

"Books" - view text files.

Built-in reader Denn DPE831B

"Dictaphone" - recording sound from the microphone on the bottom edge Denn DPE831B in AAC format.

Voice recorder Denn DPE831B

“Calendar” - as you might guess, this is a calendar.

Denn Calendar DPE831B

“Alarm clock” - in case someone needs to use a gaming media player as an alarm clock, there is such functionality here.

Setting up the Denn DPE831B alarm clock

And now to the games. This model supports games from 8 to 64 bits in NES, GB, GBC, GBA, BIN, SMC, SFC, SMD, SGM, SWF8 formats, and there are already 21 pre-installed games on board.

Selecting a game in the Denn DPE831B memory

We played several different format games and can say that the images are actually readable as stated, and the controls are adequate, although the joystick seemed to us more responsive than the movement buttons.

Among other things, DENN DPE 871B is equipped with a built-in camera with two lenses. One is on the back panel, and the other, very small, is on the front side. The quality of the images can hardly be called excellent, but the presence of a 5-megapixel camera is a pleasant addition to the functionality of the set-top box.

To work with the network, our tablet set-top box is equipped with a fast WiFi module, but, unfortunately, there is no Bluetooth adapter - a small (but not serious) omission.

The screen, as we have already noted, is a touchscreen with multi-touch support - TFT with a diagonal of 4.3 inches and a resolution of 480x272 pixels.

The DENN media set-top box is powered by a single-core processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz and a powerful Mali400 GPU 3D graphics processor with OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU, capable of supporting large-scale 3D games of HD quality. The device has 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in memory, expandable up to 32 GB thanks to an additional MicroSD memory card slot.

Now that we have figured out the design and “filling” of the console, let’s see what it is capable of.

Impressions from using DENN DPE871B

The capabilities of a portable console are determined not only by the hardware, but also by the operating system, so we’ll start with that.

Android OS is firmly established on most portable devices, and Google's sphere of interests extends far beyond the mobile phone market. Google Android is used even in such exotic devices as mobile terminals, media players and, of course, tablets. It is worth noting that the multifunctionality of all devices is ensured primarily not by the “hardware” capabilities of the gadget, but rather by the “Android” software set. In the case of DENN, the user is offered a full set of programs and games that allow them to use the console without additional exhausting manipulations around Google Play (a virtual application store system for the Android OS).

So, the manufacturer positions its product as a game console, therefore, in the depths of the applications folder we find a certain widget that allows us to launch the built-in game emulator.

DENN DPE871B supports almost all known gaming platforms, including such popular ones as Nintendo Entertainment System (NES/Famicom, known as Dendy in Russia), SEGA Genesis (MegaDrive), SNES, PlayStation One (PSX), Nintendo 64, etc. Honestly, this is the first time I've held a console in my hands that is so omnivorous in relation to popular platforms. Also, I didn't expect everything to work right out of the box. Obviously, you can set up emulators not only on a set-top box, but also on any platform with the Android system installed, but it is important to understand that hardware performance still remains the most important component in all experiments with emulators.

This tablet was developed by Denn and released in 2012 based on the Android operating system version 4.0.
The tablet has a 4.3-inch screen with a screen resolution of 272 x 480 pixels.
Denn DPE871B also has built-in support for Wi-Fi versions 802.11bg; The Denn DPE871B tablet has a large amount of memory built in - 4 gigabytes, which allows the user to download games and music to the tablet; convenient dimensions - only 169 x 78 x 20 millimeters!

In addition, this device is equipped with the coolest video card Mali-400, which allows you to comfortably play modern popular games for Android.

The multimedia properties of the Denn DPE871B tablet are extremely diverse: built-in stereo speakers make it possible to experience the fullness of sounds when watching movies or playing games, a rear camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels allows you to take good pictures
The front camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels allows the user to communicate with friends using video conferencing or video calling.
In addition, Denn DPE871B is equipped with a memory card slot, which significantly increases the tablet's memory capacity. The following types of memory cards are supported: microSD, microSDHC.
In addition, it is light in weight, only about 200 grams. does not cause any inconvenience to the user.
