Ekotek Ekoplay Bluetooth Speaker first impressions

Lazada Philippines

Along with the Ekotab Encore tablets, Ekotek has also sent us this small Bluetooth speaker, the Ekoplay. This portable speaker is designed for those who want to give their smartphone or tablet a sound boost without breaking the bank. Find out what we think of the device by reading our first impressions below.

ekoplay_1

The first thing we noticed about the Ekoplay is its size. Ekotek is spot-on when claiming that this is a portable speaker as it is light and no bigger than an egg. Although it will not exactly fit comfortably in your jeans pocket due to its shape, it will, however, sit well even inside a small bag.

ekoplay_3

On the front of the Ekoplay you will see three buttons for Previous, Play/Pause, and Next. The Previous and Next buttons doubles as the volume buttons while the Play/Pause button also acts as the ON/OFF. Placed at the small space above the buttons is the indicator light with blue and red LEDs.

ekoplay_5

Found on top is the speaker. Down at its base is the Line-in and charging cable. Take a look at the back and you’ll see a 3.5mm audio jack for the buddy jack function when you want to hook up multiple Ekoplays in a chain.

ekoplay_2

You can play music on the Ekoplay in two ways, either wired via its audio jack or go wireless via Bluetooth. The speaker is powered by a 250mAh battery which claims to last for up to 6 hours when wired and up to 3 hours in Bluetooth.

ekoplay_4

As for sound quality, the Ekoplay is very audible and can easily fill a small room. It has decent bass but the mids and highs lacks some punch. It would probably sound better if it is buddy jacked with a couple more speakers. However, if you’re just going to use it for casual listening of MP3s or to boost your movies, the Ekoplay should suffice.

The Ekotek Ekoplay Bluetooth speaker is priced at Php940 and can be purchased here.

Ekotek Ekotab Encore D & L tablets first impressions

Lazada Philippines

We recently received two affordable entry-level tablets from Philippine-based electronics brand, Ekotek, the Ekotab Encore D and Ekotab Encore L. Both Android slates sport 7-inch displays and powered by Rockchip dual-core CPUs. Check out first impressions below to see what these two have to offer.

ekotab encore_1

To avoid confusion, the Ekotab Encore D and Ekotab Encore L are actually twins and sport the same specs. The only difference is the rear design – the Encore D has a dimpled finish while the Encore L has a leather-like texture with fake stitches around it.

ekotab encore_3

On the front are 7-inch displays with 800 x 480 resolution or equal to 133ppi, along with the 0.3 megapixel front camera. Ekotek placed all its ports at the top of the device. Here you’ll see the volume rocker, microSD card slot, DC charging port, microUSB port, 3.5mm headset jack, and the power/lock button.

ekotab encore_2

Flip it on its back and you’ll see the 0.3 megapixel rear camera, the rear microphone, and the speaker.

ekotab encore_4

Both slates sport a white color and a very generic design. However, this gives the Encore tablets a simple yet clean appearance. On hand it feels chunky but has a really nice texture and relatively light which makes nice to hold.

ekotab encore_5

The specs are nothing to write home about which is expected given its price tag. The display has limited viewing angles with dull colors, and is powered by a 1GHz Rockchip RK3026 dual-core CPU, 512MB of RAM, 2,400mAh battery and Android 4.2.2 Jellybean.
