Performance
This is where we'd hoped the improved specifications under the hood would shine and this is where we were left a tad disappointed.
In terms of the benchmarks, the Zync Z999 Plus outshone its predecessor quite a bit but not by that far when compared to the likes of the Mercury Mtab Neo2.
In terms of everyday usage, the device worked quite well. One of the best features of the device has to be the keyboard. It was very smooth to type on in both portrait as well as landscape mode. The touchscreen keyboard was very responsive.
The overall performance of the touchscreen too was good. Pinch to zoom, navigation through apps, etc. all felt very good.
Playing games on the device too was fun. Angry Birds, Angry Birds Space and Pool Master Pro ran extremely well on the device without any hiccups. Browsing the Internet on the device was a mixed experience. The web sites loaded quickly enough but some rendering took longer than usual. We even used Chrome and the browser, even though it performed well overall, lagged a bit.
The display on the device was a bit disappointing. It is susceptible to a lot of glare and the viewing angles aren't the best but the colour representation especially in videos is nice. We saw a bunch of movie trailers including The Amazing Spider Man, the Hobbit and Hotel Transylvania and they all looked and sounded good. The device even played .mkv files without any problems.
The display is a disappointing with its resolution. The 7-inch screen has a resolution of 480 x 800 and we wish this were better.
Another downer for the device is that it isn't the best multitasker. The RAM is just 512MB and once you have a plethora of apps working, you will see a noticeable lag in the interface.
You have access to the Google Play store on the device giving you access to the plethora of apps available on it. Since the device can be used as a phone, you can even run WhatsApp on it.
The performance of the camera on the device isn't stellar. The rear shooter is 2MP and its performance largely depends on the ambient lighting. The front facing camera just about gets the job done for vice chatting.
The battery life of the device is standard to what you'd expect and doesn't break any boundaries whatsoever. In our video playback test, the device lasted for 4.5 hours in continuous video playback. We ran a 720p video in .MP4 format.
The overall performance of the device is a notch above its predecessor but it isn't significant when compared to the other offerings in the market.
