Among the popular manufacturers of computers and equipment, you don’t often see a domestic company. The most popular and proven products are created overseas or in China, and they are in great demand all over the world. And we are also accustomed to trusting global brands more than Russian ones. But there are also pleasant exceptions - for example, the IRBIS company, which has been moving quite confidently among other manufacturers for more than ten years. But can it adequately compete with global manufacturers?

It was the name of this representative of the cat family that was borrowed by the creators of the Irbis brand.

Golden mean
The Irbis Tx 97 tablet has become one of the most popular in the model range. Customer reviews about it are mostly positive, however, the device also has its shortcomings.

Other features of the filling include an average RAM capacity (only 1 GB), but a long-lasting 6000 mAh battery. The communication systems here are excellent; many users praise the Irbis tablet for its quality. Buyers also liked the external design of the device, including the assembly: quite durable, but not heavy. But the decision to hide the SIM and microSD slots under the removable panel did not make users very happy.

Ask a Question
The snow leopard is suitable for the harsh Russian climate and has proven its reliability. Any new Irbis model is manufactured taking into account customer requests.
Russian production
All products are manufactured at the plant in Vladivostok, which means that the main focus is on the local consumer, so that it is convenient for him to operate a snowmobile in harsh climatic conditions. It is also worth noting the simplicity of snowmobiles; there will be no problems with their repair.
Feedback from the manufacturer Irbis.
By focusing on the domestic market, the manufacturer pays attention to the needs of customers. Any new model includes innovations developed by technologists, but also many improvements that were achieved through the presence of real feedback from people.
Numerous dealer offices.
There are over 2 thousand of them, so in most countries of the country you can buy a snowmobile or get advice from specialists.
Possibility of purchasing accessories.
Irbis produces components available for purchase.
IRBIS motorcycles are designed to provide confident movement in the snow.
IRBIS snowmobiles produced by engineers from Russia are designed for lovers of freedom, dynamics and active recreation.
Feedback about the SP56 smartphone
This model also received mixed reviews. Users note the poor quality of the plastic case and its susceptibility to scratches. The included case is not very good; it is placed on the lock by itself and does not provide adequate protection. Some owners, when installing many different programs, found that the phone itself was heating up, although there were no particular complaints about serious “glitches” and slowdowns.
The main advantage of the device is an informative large screen with a good overview. The camera cannot be considered a standard in digital optics, but the pictures are of fairly decent quality. As users note, for the price of the Irbis SP56 phone you can buy a better model. However, in some respects the Russian-Chinese smartphone is superior to its competitors. Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from. In addition, it should be noted that there is a wide dealer and service network, which is not always available from other manufacturers.
Irbis tablet: reviews and recommendations
In general, the device was received well, but many buyers admit that they purchased it “out of curiosity.” According to users, the TX 97 is ideal for performing everyday tasks and surfing the Internet. But, alas, part of this merit is an outdated operating system, to support the operation of which 4 cores are sufficient.
This Irbis tablet does not have a reinforced case, but overall the quality is enough to not worry about the safety of the device during everyday transportation. Naturally, it is better to take care of the case and protective film in advance. As reviews say, the Irbis tx tablet lives up to its expectations. The price/quality ratio is very good, although there is still some work to be done. And who knows, maybe in the future “Snow Leopard” will be able to conquer the global computer equipment market.
Bottom line
After describing Irbis brand smartphones and studying consumer reviews, we can conclude that this gadget is far from perfect; most models belong to the budget category, in which there is also considerable demand for high-quality mobile devices with a beautiful design.
Feedback from owners is not always flattering towards the brand in question. For some, the device “flies” after just a few days of use, while others are dissatisfied with the quality of the plastic on the case. Many people note that when dropped from the slightest height, the operation of the speaker and charging is often disrupted. Separately, consumers highlight the battery and cameras. It’s rare that an Irbis vehicle’s charge lasts for more than a day with active use. On the most budget modifications, the cameras are of low quality and are made more for decoration.
Nevertheless, it is encouraging that a wide range of modern smartphones, tablets and domestically assembled computers have appeared on the market. Each generation of units receives improved characteristics, both in internal filling and in design and accessories.
