Smartphones produced under the Qumo brand are still practically unfamiliar to the mass buyer; they have recently appeared on the Ukrainian market. Most of the models produced under this brand belong to the budget and lower-middle price segments. Quest 503 is an affordable model built on a budget platform, which, in theory, can become an alternative expensive smartphones famous brands. Whether this is actually the case, we will tell in the review.

Contents of delivery

Qumo Quest 503 comes in a rather nice thin orange thick cardboard box. In it you will find: a smartphone, a 500 mA charger unit, a cable, a headset and a minimum of documentation.

Design and ergonomics

Instead of describing the appearance of the smartphone, we invite you to study the corresponding chapter of last year's flagship Samsung. All this is not without reason, in this case it is obvious what kind of smartphone inspired the creators of Qumo Quest 503. Much is the same with the Galaxy S4: the location of the physical keys, the audio jack, the Micro-USB rotation (you can use docking stations that are suitable for the Galaxy S4) and the microphone hole to the left of it, the design of the camera and flash. If you look at the dimensions, then for the Quest 503 they are 136x69x7.2 mm with a weight of 138 g, and for the Galaxy S4 - 136.6x69.8x7.9 mm, 130 g. producers, let's call them equal. Rare reviews on the network claim that covers for last year Samsung flagship also suitable for Qumo.

But it was not without differences. The main thing is the use of three touch keys "Menu", "Home" and "Back". On a long press "Home" bringing up a list of recent running applications. There are no complaints about their sensitivity, but the backlight could be more accurate, not so bright. The body materials are similar in appearance, but the plastic is noticeably simpler. Gloss back cover collects fingerprints very strongly, it is quite slippery.

Hiding under the lid removable battery, two micro-SIM slots and a slot for a memory card. The slots themselves are equipped with an ejection mechanism, so there will be no problems with removing cards. Apart from one SIM, such an operation will require the removal of the battery.

On the whole, the device is assembled well, the parts are well adjusted to each other, the body is relatively rigid and does not creak. But the volume and power keys are not fixed properly, if you shake the smartphone, it rattles like a quiet rattle. In addition, in our sample, the power button was semi-hollow, which is why we had to try to press on its upper part.

As a small summary, from a distance of 2-3 meters, it will be difficult to distinguish between Quest 503 and Galaxy S4, but as soon as you take them in your hands, the difference becomes obvious.

Screen

The screen of the smartphone has a resolution of 540 by 960 pixels with a diagonal of five inches. An IPS-matrix is ​​used, there is no air gap, a protective film is pasted out of the box. The minimum brightness is 45.8 cd / m², the average is 182.3 cd / m², the maximum is 345.9 cd / m². With automatic adjustment, brightness varies from 84.7 to 271 cd/m². The screen contrast is 629:1. The quality of the factory calibration is average, acceptable for an affordable device.

When used in sunny weather, the maximum brightness may not be enough, but on a cloudy day, when the maximum brightness is set, there are no problems with readability. The same applies to the screen resolution, when viewed from a normal distance, individual pixels are invisible, the picture is smooth. Viewing angles are as expected, good, but the color reproduction is slightly unnatural, it seems too bright.

With an eye on the price of a smartphone, the display looks good, only the algorithm of the brightness adjustment sensor confuses.

Interface and software

The designers of the Qumo Quest 503 shell probably sat in the same office as the designers responsible for the appearance of the smartphone. Simply put, the shell is very similar to past versions of TouchWiz, something similar we saw in a smartphone. Shell features are standard: the number of desktops is limited to seven, there is a menu for installed programs, in the notification shade there are switches for sound modes and wireless modules, it is accessible from the lock screen.

The settings menu is divided into four tabs, you cannot switch between them with a swipe. Underneath all this is Android 4.2.2, you can add widgets to the lock screens.

Of the features, we can note support for gestures that allow you to quickly answer a call, scroll through images in the gallery and switch songs in the player, as well as a minimal set of programs available out of the box. All pre-installed applications are placed on one screen, even Google programs presented only in the form of a store, the usual maps and YouTube will have to be installed separately.

In the software, you can find not quite pleasant surprises. One of them - the smartphone offered to download a small system update, but its download did not start, there is no possibility to download the update from the manufacturer's website.

Calls and multimedia

The work of two SIM-cards in Qumo Quest 503 is implemented on the basis of one radio module. There is no active card selection switch, so when setting up their work, it is better to select the “Always ask” item, then the corresponding dialog box will appear before sending a message or call. You cannot assign different ring tones and notifications for cards.

The volume of both speakers, the strength of the vibrating alert can be described as a little below average. In a quiet environment, you will hear the interlocutor and the signal of an incoming call, and walking along a noisy street, you can miss a call. When turned on speakerphone the external speaker is quieter than with an incoming call, you need to listen a lot. It's nice that there is an LED that notifies you of the presence of notifications and the charging process.

The quality of music playback is typically average for affordable smartphones, except for the relatively high maximum volume when listening through headphones.

The built-in video player supports a standard set of codecs, except for AC3 audio, but test files in high resolution are not reproduced smoothly enough, the low performance of the platform used affects.

Performance and memory

Qumo Quest 503 is based on the well-known MediaTek MT6572 processor, which includes two Cortex-A7 cores running at 1.3 GHz and a Mali-400MP GPU. The amount of RAM was increased to 1024 MB, instead of the usual 512 MB for smartphones on this SoC. The amount of permanent memory is 4 GB, there is a slot for microSD memory cards. Of the 4 GB, 1.27 GB is allocated for app installation and 1.27 GB for data storage.

The speed of the smartphone is comparable to other solutions on a similar platform. Using your own shell did no harm, the desktops are scrolling quite smoothly, only occasionally there are minor twitches. The increase in RAM was beneficial in the context of allowing more programs to run in the background rather than being reloaded every time you launch. However, using a higher performance chipset such as MediaTek MT6589 or MT6582, even with 512MB of memory, would most likely provide better performance.

In the memory settings, you can select an external card as the default storage, but in this case, only photos will be saved to it, you will not be able to install a game of several gigabytes, you will receive a message about the lack of memory, because the game caches are stored in permanent memory.

The speed of data exchange in the wireless network is average, the implementation of GPS is at a very mediocre level. Even after ten minutes of waiting in an open area, the smartphone “saw” only three satellites and could not connect to any of them.

cameras

The smartphone is equipped with two cameras: the main one with a resolution of 5 megapixels, autofocus and flash, the front one with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels. The camera interface is minimally changed, it guesses the basis familiar from many other B-brand smartphones. There is a standard set of settings and modes.

The quality of the main camera is slightly inferior to other similar smartphones, the presence of autofocus does not save the situation. Pictures are relatively detailed, but with heavily distorted colors. When shooting text, it will not be possible to get an acceptable result the first time. An example of shooting the text of the training manual is the best of five test shots.

From use front camera it's better to just refrain - the low resolution and zero detail of the pictures encourage this.

autonomy

The removable battery of the smartphone has a capacity of 2200 mAh. Considering the diagonal of the screen, you should not expect record autonomy from a smartphone, rather it will be a day and a half of work with an average load. In the above tests of autonomy, it is better to focus on the results of the Antutu and GFXBench tests, because even after several discharge cycles, the smartphone displayed the charge level in a rather strange way. For example, after being in standby mode, the battery charge could drop sharply by 1-3% after a minute of use, and based on the autonomy graph, it follows that during charging when “running” performance tests, the smartphone was discharged.

Results

Qumo Quest 503 is a very controversial smartphone. If you try to imagine it as a replacement product for some expensive smartphone, for example, the same samsung galaxy S4, then the replacement will turn out to be similar only externally, there is nothing else in common between these smartphones. Therefore, users who want to have a device of a well-known brand may be better off looking at mini-versions of flagships, models of previous generations, or look at clones built on more powerful platforms.

If we refrain from such comparisons, and look at the Quest 503 as an affordable smartphone with big screen, then the picture will be more iridescent. After all, taking into account the price tag of 1555 hryvnias, we get a smartphone with a design (albeit a secondary one) and bright screen. Sometimes these factors are already enough to make a purchase decision, but we will not discard an impressive set of childhood illnesses: the strange operation of the brightness sensor, software bugs, assemblies, broken GPS, and others.

Most models of B-brands that have been on the market for several years do not have such shortcomings, but taking into account current prices, the user will have to choose from simpler and available models, or look at comparable and better smartphones that cost about a quarter more.

Delivery and equipment

Smartphone QUMO Quest 507 HD comes in a small but very nice box. It is made of high-quality thick cardboard and is distinguished by colorful, but at the same time quite informative printing.

The front of the box shows, in fact, the gadget itself, the manufacturer's logo and several icons with data on the main advantages of the device, among which support for two SIM cards, a 4-core processor and a high-quality IPS screen stand out. On the back of the package there is a detailed table listing all the technical characteristics of the smartphone, as well as a standard legal information from the manufacturer. It should be noted that almost all of the above data is presented in Ukrainian.

The delivery set is quite standard. In a box with a smartphone, the buyer will definitely find Charger, USB cable, wired headset with headphones vacuum type and three pairs of interchangeable silicone pads, a pin for removing Micro-SIM cards, basic documentation and a warranty card.

On the territory of Ukraine, QUMO Quest 507 HD is subject to a special promotion, under the terms of which each of its customers is offered six months of free 3G Internet from 3Mob as a gift. Therefore, in addition to the basic delivery set, there is one starter pack with a Micro-SIM card and a small adapter for Mini-SIM cards.

Appearance, arrangement of elements

Externally, the smartphone QUMO Quest 507 HD is a prominent representative of the so-called classic "smart" phones. A similar design can be found everywhere in the line of mobile devices from many manufacturers, which, of course, indicates its particular popularity among potential buyers. Despite the rapidly developing market, most consumers still prefer, albeit already familiar, but at the same time very practical forms. Thus, we have a classic rectangular monoblock with slightly rounded edges and a solid monolithic base.

As for a 5-inch device, the smartphone has rather large dimensions (142.9 x 71 x 6.6 mm) and a significant weight (165 g), which undoubtedly leaves its mark on the usability of the gadget. With prolonged interaction, the palm gets a little tired and there is a desire to intercept the device with the other hand. In addition, due to the small thickness and relatively large mass, it is difficult to pick up the smartphone from the table (especially if the fingers are a little wet) - metal case and tends to slip out. On the other hand, you get used to this state of affairs quite quickly, and for some users, the tangible weight of the aluminum device, on the contrary, gives additional confidence.

The base of the QUMO Quest 507 HD case is made of high-quality aluminum and has a soft-touch coating that is pleasant to the touch. Although it has a matte texture, it collects fingerprints quite well, so it requires additional care. On the back side of the case, this metal base smoothly flows into the sidewalls, thereby defiantly emphasizing the small thickness of the gadget, and also gives it additional rigidity. This metal ensemble is diluted with two inserts made of dark matte plastic, which are located on the back of the case. Under them, the antennas of the communication modules are securely hidden.

On the market, the smartphone is presented only in black, which is designed to focus on its practicality and at the same time emphasize its business orientation.

The front side of the QUMO Quest 507 HD is completely covered with a protective glass without a label. It has a good anti-glare filter, but lacks any oleophobic coating, so after a few minutes of operation, the smartphone display is covered with ubiquitous fingerprints. A factory film is glued on top of the screen, which also copes with dirt quite poorly and is also very quickly covered with small scratches (even from exposure to a soft microfiber cloth).

By modern standards, the bezels around the display can be considered quite ordinary: 17 mm on the top and bottom, as well as 4.5 mm on the sides. This in no way affects the usability of the gadget, on the contrary, it allows you to more conveniently grab a device that is far from being small, without being afraid to get your fingers on the screen.

Above the display of the smartphone are the following elements: proximity and light sensors, LED indicator, multimedia speaker grill and front camera lens. Under the screen are three classic touch buttons: "Back", "Home" and "Menu". Unfortunately they are not backlit.

A 3.5 mm audio jack for a headset is placed on the upper side of the device, and a micro-USB port and a small microphone hole are placed on the lower side.

The right side of the smartphone contains a dual tray for Micro-SIM cards, while the left side has a power button and a volume rocker.

As mentioned above, the back side of the QUMO Quest 507 HD consists of three parts: an aluminum base and two plastic inserts. On the top insert is the main camera lens, a single LED flash and a small hole for an additional microphone. The grille of the multimedia speaker is placed on the bottom. The metal part of the back side of the smartphone is decorated with a small manufacturer's logo.

There are no special complaints about the build quality of the QUMO Quest 507 HD smartphone. All parts fit tightly: there are no noticeable backlashes or gaps. Thanks to the monolithic base, the body of the gadget has good rigidity and does not deform under moderate pressure, despite the large size of the device. The image on the display remains without streaks or other possible artifacts.

Model QUMO Quest 507 HD is equipped with a good 5-inch IPS-screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. At the same time, the pixel density is at the level of 294 ppi, which can be considered a very good indicator. The detail of the picture is good and quite clear. It is quite enough for a comfortable display of various kinds of information, including small fonts.

Traditionally for matrices of this type The device's screen has high-quality color reproduction, good contrast and good viewing angles. Interestingly enough, when the viewing angle is shifted horizontally or vertically, the image on the display remains quite bright and well readable. However, if you look at the screen at a slight diagonal angle, the colors are immediately inverted and become faded.

The screen of the smartphone is protected from damage and chips by tempered glass, the name of which the manufacturer has kept secret. There is no oleophobic coating on it, but there is a good anti-reflective filter. In general, the display unit of the device is made using OGS technology, which is characterized by the absence of an air gap between the glass and the screen, which has a positive effect on the clarity and detail of the image.

The backlight of the display is at a good level and has a good adjustment range, which allows you to use the smartphone both on a bright sunny day and in low light conditions.

The built-in touch pad supports recognition of up to 5 simultaneous clicks. In general, the screen is quite sensitive and responds even to light touches, but sometimes their detection occurs with a little delay or is not fixed at all, which causes some inconvenience. Despite the absence of an oleophobic coating, sliding fingers on protective glass quite pleasant and does not cause noticeable discomfort. Unfortunately, there is no support for working with gloves.

Model QUMO Quest 507 HD is equipped with a very good multimedia speaker, which is located on the back of the device, in the lower right corner. It is quite loud and able to provide high-quality sound. And so that the sound is not muffled when the smartphone is placed with the display up, there are special supports on both sides of the speaker that slightly raise it above the surface. In the available sound range, there are pronounced highs and mids, and there is also a hint of pleasant bass. Of course, the latter appears only when playing certain compositions. In general, the volume of the multimedia speaker is quite enough for games, watching videos, calls and notifications, without the use of additional sound devices.

The presence of a smartphone 3.5 mm audio jack also allows you to connect to it and external devices. So, for example, the included wired headset has a good and clear sound. It is quite suitable for making calls or listening to simple songs. In addition, we tested the smartphone paired with our "laboratory" Kingston HyperX Cloud headphones. As expected, the sound in them turned out to be much richer and more voluminous, and the frequency range acquired additional shape and depth.

The speaker here is quite loud and very high quality. He copes well with his direct task (given the quality of the operator and the condition of the interlocutor's phone), providing a clear and pleasant voice transmission.

Camera

QUMO Quest 507 HD is equipped with a standard set of digital cameras: main and front.

The main camera of the smartphone is represented by an 8-megapixel module with f / 2.2 aperture, autofocus and single-section LED flash. It is capable of recording 720p video at 30 fps. There is also support for HDR photography.

Based on the above parameters, expect high quality alas, there are no captured photos and videos. In general, the picture looks quite decent and in some places even quite pleasant, but in some cases the image lacks sharpness, and there is a clear imbalance in the color reproduction: the central part of the frame is littered towards purple hues, while the edges of the photo take on a slightly greenish tint. If you choose the right angle and optimal lighting conditions, as well as spend some time in the settings menu, then you can count on very decent results. In contrast, the good performance of the HDR mode is different. He quite copes with his direct duties: quite well highlights the dark areas of the captured frame.

The front camera is a 2-megapixel module with f / 2.8 aperture and fixed focus, which is capable of recording video with a resolution of 480p at 30 fps. The camera is a solid average. It copes well with the implementation of various kinds of web conferencing and video calls.

The software responsible for managing the cameras in the QUMO Quest 507 HD smartphone has a concise design and an intuitive interface. The application menu is quite simple, without any frills or confusing subsections: all functions are at hand, and their location is remembered after the first use. As with most devices of this type, here you can adjust the exposure level, adjust the white balance and set the ISO value. Also, for ease of use, the software menu has several preset shooting modes, which is perfect for beginners or people who do not want to understand the intricacies of photo and video craft, but have a great desire to immediately start the shooting process itself.

User interface

The smartphone QUMO Quest 507 HD falls into the hands of a potential buyer with a preinstalled operating Android system 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, which is installed on the device in its basic form, without any proprietary shells or other software add-ons. Both in visual terms and in terms of functionality, we still have the same “stock” Android, with all the advantages, features and expected disadvantages.

Even a few years after the release, visually, the OS looks very attractive and is practical and user-friendly interface. Bright, saturated colors and regular geometric shapes prevail here, and the presence of stylish translucent elements gives the system a certain airiness and lightness.

Of the main differences, it is worth highlighting slightly redrawn icons in the settings menu and a strictly fixed number of desktops - now there are only 5 of them. In addition, the developers removed from the OS many standard applications Google Corporation, replacing them with programs from Yandex. At first glance, this decision may seem rather controversial, since many users have long been accustomed to such popular services as Email Gmail or Google Maps. If we take into account the positioning of the smartphone, as well as take into account potential sales markets, which are mainly the CIS countries, then this approach becomes quite justified and quite logical. Fortunately, the branded app store Google Play remained in place, so that the user can install all the programs and utilities he needs without any problems.

As in most Android smartphones, the device's settings menu has a fairly wide range of options. By going to it, you can find out information about the state of the internal memory of the device, configure the operation of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS modules, set the display brightness and volume level, and also perform backup user data and configure a number of other useful features.

Since the smartphone supports two SIM cards, there is a corresponding menu section in the OS settings that allows you to set the priority of the radio module. In other words, determine in advance which SIM card will be used for phone calls, send SMS/MMS messages and transfer data on the Internet. In addition, this menu will be very useful for users who travel abroad, as it will allow you to set up a pop-up warning about the subscriber's stay in roaming, thereby saving quite a lot of money and nerves spent.

Unfortunately, compared to the functionality of the system, the speed of its work is not so pleasantly pleasing. The animation is displayed with small jerks and sometimes noticeably slows down. This is especially noticeable when flipping desktops and running heavy programs. This fact looks very strange against the background of good smartphone performance even in modern demanding games. Perhaps the reason for this is insufficiently high-quality optimization of the software component, or this is a feature of only our test sample. Therefore, we advise you to test it yourself before buying. this moment.

Hardware platform and performance

Smartphone QUMO Quest 507 HD is based on a fairly popular hardware solution. It is based on a 4-core microprocessor MediaTek MT6582 with an operating clock speed of 1.3 GHz and an L2 cache of 512 KB. It is manufactured based on the ARM Cortex-A7 microarchitecture in accordance with the 28nm process technology. The video accelerator is the integrated graphics adapter ARM Mali-400 MP2 with an operating clock frequency of 500 MHz and support for OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG 1.1. The RAM of the smartphone is 1 GB. Also, the device is equipped with a built-in memory of 16 GB, of which about 12.6 GB is available to the user. There is no support for memory cards.

As can be seen from the test results, the performance of the QUMO Quest 507 HD hardware platform is far from being a record, but in most cases it will be more than enough to perform almost all everyday tasks, including running demanding applications. On the example of the game hits Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8: Airborne, you can see that with medium graphics settings, the smartphone's video accelerator is able to produce more than satisfactory picture quality and a comfortable FPS level. Also, these games run well on high graphics settings, however, in especially difficult moments, there is already a slight subsidence of the frame rate. Otherwise, the QUMO Quest 507 HD smartphone copes well with the tasks set and is a good example of a “workhorse”.

Right out of the box, the gadget supports a considerable number of video and audio formats, as evidenced by the results of the AnTuTu Video Tester benchmark version 2.2. This allows the 5-inch smartphone to be used as a pocket media player.

During the tests, we noticed a noticeable, but not particularly critical, heating of the case. Despite the fact that the area of ​​​​its distribution is dispersed over the entire back side of the device, this does not bring much discomfort, since rear part The device is made of metal, which quite successfully dissipates the generated heat.

A much more important problem is the unpleasant fact of overheating the battery. As you can see from the screenshot, the smartphone protection system signals about critical temperature battery and limit further use of the device. However, it is worth noting that this problem occurs only with a long and fairly active load. Therefore, the average user who uses the gadget in a moderate everyday mode will not be affected by it.

Communication and communications

Despite the relatively affordable cost, the QUMO Quest 507 HD smartphone has a good set of communication capabilities. The device boasts support for all popular and widespread mobile networks, except for the most modern and high-speed 4G LTE:

• 2G GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz;
• 3G UMTS 900 / 2100 MHz.

The smartphone is equipped with a built-in radio module that supports two Micro-SIM cards. As practice has shown, it is equally capable of providing both very high quality telephone connection, and a fairly good data transfer rate.

During test calls, the voice quality was at high level: No interference, interruptions, or self-drops were observed. However, it is worth considering that this parameter directly depends on the communication operator used. In addition, the device is equipped with a good vibrating alert, which has an average vibration strength and is quite sonorous and sharp, but being in a thick pocket of a jacket or raincoat, it can completely go unnoticed.

Testing the data transfer rate in third-generation networks using the example of a telecom operator 3Mob showed the following results: up to 3 Mbps for reception and up to 1 Mbps for upload. Of course, these are far from record figures, but we managed to record a fairly stable mobile signal and good stability of the Internet connection, despite the congestion of the channel and the remoteness from cell towers.

Along with 3G support, the smartphone is equipped with two high-quality modules wireless communication: Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The latter has support WiFi features Hotspot, but is only capable of operating in one frequency range - 2.4 GHz. The device also supports wireless transmission multimedia content through DLNA technology.

Like any modern multimedia device, the QUMO Quest 507 HD smartphone is equipped with a built-in GPS geopositioning module. The quality of his work does not cause any complaints and is at a decent level. So, during testing, the gadget found about 9 satellites and successfully connected to 5 of them. At the same time, the location accuracy was within only 3 meters.

Offline work

The tested smartphone is equipped with a non-removable lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 1700 mAh, which is a rather modest indicator for a 5-inch device. However, this amount of battery is enough for almost a day of offline operation under moderate load when performing everyday tasks. If you simultaneously use most of the capabilities of the gadget, then the battery will be discharged in a few hours.

PCMark battery life testing (editing and typing, watching videos, listening to music, etc.) provides a figure of 3.5 hours of battery life on a single charge, while GFXBench benchmark results show 199 minutes of battery life. mode. In both cases, the brightness of the smartphone display was set to the maximum value. To restore a full charge and the original condition of the battery, you need to spend a little more than 3 hours using the supplied charger.

Results

Summing up the comprehensive acquaintance with the smartphone QUMOQuest 507 HD, we can say with confidence that the tested model turned out to be a rather interesting, albeit somewhat controversial device.

On the one hand, the device has a number of undeniable advantages, among which it is worth highlighting a strict and very practical design, support for two SIM cards and a high-quality 5-inch OGS IPS screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of 294 ppi. On the other hand, the gadget has a number of small and rather unpleasant shortcomings.

Despite the rather small case thickness of 6.6 mm, QUMO engineers managed to equip the smartphone with a fairly productive hardware platform, which is represented by a 4-core MediaTek MT6582 processor and an ARM Mali-400 MP2 graphics adapter. But the battery capacity is only 1700 mAh. Accordingly, such a volume does not allow setting autonomy records, but it is quite enough for a 5-inch smartphone to work for almost a day without recharging when performing everyday tasks.

In addition, do not forget that thanks to the widest range of communication capabilities, which are represented by Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n modules, the device is able to exchange a huge amount of data and always stay online. And more active users will also need a built-in GPS module.

A very pleasant bonus for users from Ukraine is the fact that the QUMO Quest 507 HD smartphone is subject to a special promotion, under the terms of which each buyer is offered six months of free 3G Internet from 3Mob as a gift.

As is often the case, along with undeniable advantages, the tested device also has a number of disadvantages. For example, the presence of weak camera modules and the absence of an oleophobic coating on the smartphone screen can be attributed to the manufacturer's desire to reduce the final cost of the device, making it more accessible to a wide range of consumers. However, the problem with the battery heating up during prolonged intensive use of the device causes some bewilderment and a slight surge of skepticism.

However, if you take a sober look at things and weigh all the pros and cons, then, in our opinion, all of the above shortcomings are more than compensated by a more than adequate and quite affordable price.

• strict and very practical design;
• wide communication capabilities provided by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS modules;
• affordable price;
• excellent build quality;

Takes a long time to charge, from 0 to 100% hours 6.
The joy about the second acc has faded - the battery is very large and thin, it can be easily broken in your pocket, and it is almost impossible to change it without breaking your nails, so this is a last resort.
Touch buttons too easy to press when not needed
No stylus, drawing failed.
The screen is almost not recessed into the body, so the edges of the film cling, you need to cut out the film less than the space for it.

What did you like

Workmanship, price-quality ratio, large screen (for the sake of it I took it of course), everything that is stated works, and by the way I was pleased with the proximity sensor - I didn’t have it before, I didn’t think that this thing could work correctly.

What did not like

But there are many more cons:
-did not manage to get gps working, despite all the variety of settings;
- The gallery worked incorrectly at first, on the second day it stopped completely - when I tried to enter, it gave an error and the gallery crashed. Both of these glitches are related to the updated firmware and appear everywhere in all owners. As an exit - you can roll back to previous version, but there are many problems with the proximity sensor (see reviews). Let's summarize - the developers have released frankly raw firmware, and it is not known whether they will work on fixing them;
- Now about the filling: the manufacturer is cunning everywhere - although the screen is declared as IPS, it is not correctly specified that it LCD matrix, not TFT. Consequently - viewing angles are small, colors are immediately strongly inverted. So the display is large and bright, but of poor quality.
Battery. Claimed to be 3200mA but actually 2600mA
The processor is less than the declared actual operating frequency.
The camera, despite the impressive resolution, shoots with a huge amount of noise. For photographing text, it will do, but no more.
The back cover immediately begins to scratch on the first day of use.

What did not like

Now for the disadvantages. Bought in March 2014. During this time it was revealed:
- 8 m.p. no camera (you can see a very small crystal, which crop factor can only be assumed), the pictures are not very good even in bright light;
- GPS periodically loses, but maybe it's not connected with the phone;
- mobile Internet either turns on or does not turn on, i.e. you turn it on, but it does not connect, only a reboot helps, it looks like something with software or OOS;
- the brightness of the display in the sun leaves much to be desired, but in general the brightness is acceptable;

What did you like
