Yadro Introduces Kvadra_T Tablet for Home Use in Russia
Russian tech company Yadro has begun retail sales of its domestic Kvadra_T tablet, priced at 42,000 rubles, according to Vedomosti. This move marks a significant step for Yadro as it expands its hardware lineup beyond smartphones and other devices to compete in the tablet segment. [Vedomosti]
The Kvadra_T features a 10.95-inch IPS display offering Full HD resolution for clear, sharp visuals. Powering the device is an eight core processor of unnamed origin, paired with 6 GB of RAM and a 128 GB slow eMMC 5.1 storage module. While the processor details remain unlisted, the combination aims to deliver everyday multitasking and media consumption with reasonable performance. [Vedomosti]
Software is a standout choice for Yadro, as the tablet runs on kvadraOS, a proprietary operating system built on the Android Open Source Project. This architecture ensures broad compatibility with Android applications and simplifies access to popular apps for users who rely on Android ecosystems. The decision to base kvadraOS on AOSP helps maintain a familiar user experience while allowing Yadro to tailor features to its own devices. [Vedomosti]
Photography on the Kvadra_T includes a 13 MP main camera on the rear and a 5 MP front camera for video calls and selfies. The device is powered by a substantial 34.2 watt-hour battery, roughly equivalent to 9000 mAh in common battery ratings, which supports longer use between charges. [Vedomosti]
In terms of aesthetics and accessories, the tablet is offered in two color options, Serenity and Argentum. The package includes the Kvadra_T tablet, a 20 W charger, a USB Type-C cable, and a passive stylus. The stylus is described as less sensitive than more premium active styluses such as the Apple Pencil or Samsung S Pen, reflecting a practical approach for its price point. Additional accessories like protective cases and keyboards can be purchased separately. [Vedomosti]
Market placement notes place the Kvadra_T among midrange Android-enabled tablets, with emphasis on practical daily use, media consumption, and light productivity tasks. The launch aligns with Yadro’s strategy to broaden its product family while leveraging Android app compatibility through kvadraOS. Analysts and enthusiasts will likely watch how the device performs in the competitive Russian tablet market and how kvadraOS evolves with future updates. [Vedomosti]
