After experimenting with his first smartpedom Xperia Z Ultra, in January of this year, Sony announced another smartped, smaller – Xperia T2 Ultra, and his dvuhsimochny version without LTE – Xperia T2 Ultra Dual. Xperia Z Ultra became a touchstone in this category of devices, and present new product can be considered the beginning of the expansion of Sony’s niche smartpedov. This is evidenced by markedly different “hardware” – primarily display. This is not an update, but a new model. So let’s see how successful it is.

Technical characteristics Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Interior space is organized packing unusual: the device lying down, and in the “pockets” of the remaining sides, were stacked headset, charger, USB cable and user guide.

On the cover depicted Xperia T2 Ultra in all available colors – black, white and purple – and briefly describes its characteristics.

Appearance and ergonomics Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Compared to its “big brother”, Sony Xperia Z Ultra, the hero of our review of the compact: its dimensions are 165.2 x 83.8 x 7.65 mm, weight – 172 grams. Frame around the screen width of 2.5 millimeters.

Visually smartped very thin, and, despite the size, fits the hand. For a six-inch device – very easy to use: it can be held with one hand, without the risk of dropping it. However, the glossy plastic back cover still a little slippery, but not critical – during the test of the palm is not dropped once.

73.6% of the front panel is the display. From the top, next to the logo Sony, placed front camera and light sensor, just above – grating voice dynamics.

At the screen – touch control buttons: “Back”, “Home” and “Recent Applications.” In the center is located underneath the microphone.

Fingerprints on the white back panel (it came to us white smartped), despite the glossy surface, practically invisible. Most likely, black and purple versions will be more brand.

At the rear of the chassis at the top – main camera lens, which is located under the flash. In the upper right corner – another microphone, and at the bottom – the external speaker and silver inscription «Xperia».

3.5 mm audio jack is located on the right edge of the device. Ibid – covered cap card slot microSIM.

Exactly in the middle right side – a round metal button switch / lock, which is perfectly recognized by touch, as well as the volume rocker and camera button narrow that the habit can be mistaken for another trigger.

On the left edge – micro-USB connector and a slot for microSD, also equipped with a plug.

Caseback is not removed. Unlike Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia T2 Ultra did not get dust and water resistant, so swim with them is unlikely.

Smartphones with larger screens – the subject of much debate between fans and their opponents. But in this case, most of the shortcomings smartpedov smoothed: comfortable enough to use the device, hold it with one hand, the device is light, thin, and generally looks spectacular.

Display Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Xperia T2 Ultra Dual received IPS-display, while the Xperia Z Ultra was equipped with a TFT-matrix. But the size of the display is less than 6 inches versus 6.44 at the “big brother”. Resolution is also, unfortunately, much less – 720h1280 points at a density of 245 ppi (at Xperia Z Ultra – 342). The screen is equipped with a light sensor and auto rotate function approximation. Of course, there are also manual brightness adjustment.

On the one hand, for a six-inch HD resolution screen is not enough: pixelation of images – available. But on the other – the display bright, vivid colors and excellent viewing angles, which smooths deficit permission.

The rest of the screen leaves a pleasant impression – to work with him, not looking at the individual pixels, comfortable and convenient. Among the pleasant additions have operation with gloves that will surely come in handy in the winter.

In the settings you can turn on Mobile BRAVIA Engine, which improves the quality of images displayed on the screen. With him the picture gets even better in color and brightness.

Interface Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Powered smartped running Android 4.3 with an integrated graphical environment Timescape. Among many branded preinstalled applications. The first is an app store Sony Select, where, besides the actual applications, you can buy, for example, the skin. Also, users are offered a program for listening to music WALKMAN and other utilities from the manufacturer – music, movies, application notes called “Outline”, in which you can make handwritten notes and drawings.

There are eight to choose themes in different colors and a variety of backgrounds, in which corporate identity is guessed Sony. On the lock screen – link for quick access to the camera. Desk consists of five pages, can be increased to seven. In this case there is no cycle through: reaching the last desktop, you must stop and flipping back. When you swipe from left to right, the quick settings menu appears.

As for the performance of the system – all excellent. OS runs quickly, without departing applications decelerating animation and other problems. Programs run fast, regular applications are also not caused complaints.

Camera Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

13-megapixel camera Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual equipped with LED flash, autofocus and digital zoom shestnadtsatikratny. The module allows you to shoot video maximum resolution of 1920×1080.

Camera app deserves attention. It works not very fast, removes about second delay – this is a minus. But there are a few interesting modes, for example, AR Effect, which allows you to create a bit of augmented reality, up photographs virtual scenes and characters. Turn this option – and start running across the screen 3D-dinosaurs. Looks like fun.

The graphical effects is the mode that simulates shooting lens “Fish eye”. Of course, there have become virtually standard functions – face touch, pan, search for the best photos from the series, face detection and smile.

If this is not enough, you can enable artificial blur background. It works like this: direct the camera at the subject, Tapan on it to indicate that it was his need to “pull” to the fore, shoot – and a few seconds later we get ready to shoot. It is recommended to remove the small focal distance, so that the background objects are removed from objects forward of more than 50 cm

As you can see, the camera is interesting: a lot of “chips” and the quality of the module itself is not bad. But there are drawbacks – for example, sometimes the autofocus does not work, and indeed sometimes the automatic mode “tupit.” Here is an example clearly unsuccessful frame.

The front camera produces pretty “soap” pictures, but for resolution to 1.1 megapixels all looks pretty decent. And do not forget that this is just a front camera, which makes no sense to bring some special requirements.

Speed Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

As an “iron” stuffing Xperia T2 Ultra got a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8928 400 MHz frequency 1400, Adreno 306 video processor, an internal memory of 8 GB and 1GB of “RAM.” To expand the internal memory, you can use a microSD card up to 32 GB.

Conventional multimedia tasks are not for Xperia T2 Ultra any difficulty. Web surfing, simple games – with a similar smartped copes very easily. But with 3D-games possible (and do happen, as experience has shown) freezes. Restricts the scope of gaming and volume internal drive – 8 GB, from which the user, of course, there are fewer could not write more than three “serious” games.

Results of the tests 3DMark following: smartphone scored 5658 in Ice Storm, 2837 in Ice Storm Extreme and 4654 in Ice Storm Unlimited.

Autonomy Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Smartphone battery capacity – 3000 mAh, like Xperia Z Ultra. Given that Xperia T2 diagonal screen resolution and smaller, it can be assumed that his autonomy higher – but the capacity to conduct a comparative test we did not have.

However, autonomy and so smartpeda very decent. According to the manufacturer, while working Xperia T2 Ultra Battery – 24 hours of talk time and 1071 hours of standby time and 93 hours of music playback. Indeed, it runs long enough: video playback discharged in eight hours, while reading or surfing the Internet it will last for 10-12 hours. Thus, for a day of active use can safely rely.

Wireless interfaces Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Sony Xperia T2 Ultra supports Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. Satellite navigation is provided by GPS and GLONASS systems, and Internet access through the protocol WAP, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA +.

Version Dual, that is ours, supports two microSIM-cards – one of them can run on 3G, another – 2G. A odnosimochnaya version is equipped with LTE. And that, and that can not be obtained, so that prospective buyers will have to choose between LTE and work with two SIM-cards. Separating it looks artificial, as the seats in the body enough for two “simok” and module LTE.

All wireless interfaces work flawlessly: 3G “flies” to Wi-Fi networks connected smartped without question, just things with Bluetooth-connections and data transmission on the NFC.

Results Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual

Xperia T2 Ultra Dual – worthy device for lovers of big screens. He obviously is for lovers actively consume multimedia content through mobile devices. Among the advantages of new items – great camera, work gloves, relative compared to other smartpedami compactness and light weight.

The average price of 445$ can be called excessive, given that virtually the same amount you can buy Xperia Z Ultra, which is still inferior to the novelty of the “iron”, the display resolution and waterproof. Again, a forced choice between supporting two SIM-cards and work with LTE device also adds appeal. So it makes sense not to rush into buying and wait for the price reduction is likely to happen quickly enough.

Pros Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual:

• good camera with plenty of modes;
• operation with gloves;
• low weight and small thickness.

Cons Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual:

• lack of moisture and dust protection;
• for a modest six inches screen resolution;
• artificial separation version Dual SIM and LTE.

Lately, I have visited many dual-sim that I even surprised when the device fall into the hands of one card operator. For all the time spent with the 2-in-1, began to develop a sense that these smartphones are doing for people who uninviting Internet, they look almost nothing from these devices, just use email and only do what they call. I am sure that most owners dvuhsimnyh devices now not recognize yourself. What do you do when the most top-end device in this category can not afford, and need to upgrade? And then it opens a simple glance at the buyer cloud of possible variants, price tags that begin with the sometimes funny numbers.

Indeed, often the user does not need all the features HTC One Dual Sim, yes and not worth it so cheap to just have a fancy smartphone. And this is the case the company has prepared a few cheaper options. Relatively recently put on sale new dvuhsimniki line Desire is not marked letters and numbers. And today we will get acquainted with the HTC Desire 400, midway in the line of new products from HTC dvuhsimnyh end of last year.

First impressions

New HTC made so cool now that is not immediately clear, expensive or cheap device. Of those models that fell into my hands, everything felt more expensive than stand in reality. So it is with Desire 400. Cute, slim smartphone. In the style of the latest models of HTC: become more rectangular shape and the slots for the speakers less and less noticeable. By the way, this change really made the look much more enjoyable compared to Desire V and, especially, Desire SV. Flattened side faces make housing visually much thinner than it actually is. Yes, and many other items to create the look of a more expensive device.

Taiwanese were able to surprise and interior decoration. And I’m not talking about the processor, although it has also changed (with Qualcomm to ST-Ericsson), and about the color of the lid. When a user buys a new smart phone, the first thing he inserts his card there, then turns on and tunes. Anyway, I do it in that order. So, open the lid Desire 400, the user sees a steep acid green design, which pulled me smile for the next two days. I do not know why and how it happened. Just a funny little thing then you can show your friends, and they will say, “Ooh, cool!”. Trim if you think about it after such a surprise, standard – the headset, charging cable, charging itself and paper.

Design, buttons …

As mentioned above, the design is really a success. Dimensions devaysa quite comfortable for most users – 131,8 x 66,9 x 9,9 mm and weighs 123 grams. It is quite convenient to use with one hand for quick tasks (such as answering a call, when the second hand is busy with shopping bag), or twist the ribbon social networks. Otherwise, when it comes to answering mails / messages, web browsing, notes, and other things, unwittingly connects the second hand. I think in many ways the most wines these angles. Whether they are smoother, as in previous models, typing would be more convenient. True, it is a question only a couple of days, the discomfort disappears with time, and quite easy to use handheld device.

Desire collected 400 4: when you click on the back cover appears creak. Boca also creak. But keeps the back cover just fine. Materials picked up notably. Front glass surrounds the metal frame, the rest of the body and has a removable plastic rear cover. Coverage in the best traditions of HTC – one of the most pleasant soft-touch plastics in the history of mankind. This, of course, a matter of taste, but personally I think this cover most successful in the category. It almost does not leave traces of use, and it is long enough to keep a good appearance, and still cool to the touch. It might not be the most precious creation of Taiwanese, but judging from materials not immediately say how much this smartphone (8 out of 10 people called cost more than this).

Something that really want to find fault with – button. No, do not touch with them all ok. Do not like the power button and volume control. They are just a little peek of the case, to find them complicated and awkward to press. Get used to them not immediately released. The exact location of all the working elements – no surprises. Bottom – Micro USB microphone opening on top – headset jack, a notch to remove the rear cover and the power button. Right – only dual volume control button, and the left – nothing much. Rear – cool selection box camera with flash, located in a corrugated box, glossy print logo HTC (which looks cool on the matte surface), logo and perforated slot BeatsAudio dynamics.

The bulk of the front is reserved for glass. Top – the earpiece from which good enough indicator breaks notifications. Under glass 4.3-inch display. Above him logo HTC, proximity sensors and lighting, and under – three touch buttons: “Back”, “Menu” button and multitasking. They all have a pleasant light. In general, you get used to the ergonomics, but mechanical buttons and squeaks body leave an unpleasant aftertaste. Correct the situation body materials and appearance in general. Smartphone looks thin and beautiful. I had a variety of smartphones, and more often, cheap Soup and felt inexpensive. But here’s the latest from HTC, including our current Desire 400, leave a little puzzled, because smartphone looks expensive price tag, and it’s very nice. Especially the final buyer.

Display

Judging by the latest reviews, many people perfect size display format 4.1-4.5 inches (second position from our recent survey). HTC Desire 400 just fit in the middle of a gold – 4.3”. Of course, there are many people who are more comfortable other diagonal display, again, a matter of personal preference. Back to Desire 400 – Display is made by technology Super LCD 2. Maximum viewing angles. Picture a warm lamp, although personally I prefer the cold shade. In general, the color quality is not caused trouble. Illumination sufficient for sunny days (I was lucky to catch this one in January!), And the minimum value you want a little less.

This display is very nice work. Resolution 800 x 480 pixels, which is equal to 217 ppi. More than once tore this accordion, and this resolution is enough for comfortable work with your smartphone. I do not know what the cause of discontent, but too often raised this question. Out of curiosity, I conducted a little experiment – Desire 400 gave several owners Retina-displays, and all respondents were completely satisfied. Yes, and I’m after the iPhone display would not say that I was a bit frustrating the local. So what about the pictures you can not worry.

Camera, Photo & Video

There are not many smartphones that do not have a front camera. It seems that without it already looks old school iron. Yes, HTC Desire 400 only one camera. On the one hand, the paranoid will be a little easier on the other – New Year’s Eve will not make a video and immersive congratulate you dear man. The only camera here – 5 megapixels. It might not be much, but to get a decent picture can still be. As usual for this class of cameras prerequisite is a good picture lighting. And when buying should be noted that the light in standard office space is not to be missed. Pictures will still be a bit noisy and not always clear from the first time. Videos can also be recorded, 1280 x 720 pixels. Problems are the same – not quickly focuses and noisy.

If you picture is very important and you do not see a life without quality camera in a smartphone, then, unfortunately, Desire 400 is not for you. Those who are important video calls, too, does not fit this unit. But not all that bad. People who are photographed on a smartphone supersereznoe NOT something (food, cat feet here and please do not consider it important pictures), features this camera will suffice.

Hardware, software and battery

I think the flagship characteristics dvuhsimnike not demand as many people think. Dvuhsimnikov users often need to just stay in touch, but do not measure FPS in Real Racing 3. But this does not mean that such people should watch minutes as the phone draws some graphic animation. In Desire 400 installed, to put it mildly, quite old dual NovaThor U8500, clocked at 1 GHz, a gig of RAM and video Mali 400 MP. Drive much is not enough, only 4 GB, but there is a slot for memory cards and more applications can be easily transferred to it. In general, working smart is quite acceptable, but switching between applications a tightened. In the game you can kill some time, but only in a not very demanding. In other words, the above RR3 frankly slows, and Cut the Rope is excellent. 

In Desire 400 lives Android 4.1.1 with a proprietary HTC Sense. Only version of the graphical shell is not the last, and 4 +. There is no BlinkFeed’a. All as the old dvuhsimnikov HTC. Someone like this, someone – no. Sneaking suspicion that the updates will not be. Lovers to be up-to-date, this situation clearly does not like it. But the target audience dvuhsimnikov often this question do not care. Works – and this is important. And it runs stably without spontaneous reboots and flown applications. Let not giperbystro, but no surprises.

With excess heat I have not encountered. During browsing, watching videos and games body warm, but no more. Another important criterion for the smartphone will be autonomy. 1800 mAh battery should operate for an active day, anyway, I had enough and more. Given that serious games difficult to play here, the battery will not be exhausted once again, which will stay connected longer. Overall, great autonomy in the test battery AnTuTu accumulated 600 parrots. And people who often go on long trips, like the battery is removable.

Two Sim-card and conversations 

Let no front camera, let body creaks a bit, but there should be two dvuhsimnike radiomodule! “Yes” – said the HTC gash and two radio module 400 in Desire. Accordingly, all the work FAQ Sim-cards disappear. While you are speaking with a single operator, and other calls will be from the second break. And the organization of the two Sim-card is no different from the old (see previous) models with HTC Sense 4. As before, two buttons for operator calls and messages. Settings are standard and are in their usual place. In a nutshell – is nothing new.

Conclusions and personal impressions

Please mocked. Secure the rear cover scrapie … Constantly. No front-facing camera, and the main old and without outstanding opportunities for today. Outdated both in terms of OS, and visual design. In demanding games to play from the comfort will not work because the old processor. But! The smartphone good design, perfectly matched body materials, normal autonomy, two radio module, a wonderful display and class dynamics. Conclusion – the smartphone is definitely not for the boom. But for a person who is important to have a reliable device, Desire 400 must be worthy of the decision.

It is worth to consider the price – $ 260. That’s a third of the price of HTC One Dual Sim and $ 100 more than the older model cheaper Desire 600. Honestly, for dvuhsimnika Desire 400 is a great solution. About this should be an inexpensive smartphone for a person who is not trying to replace all single device. People in need in a very advanced (in all sense) smartphones, this, of course, no interest. If I needed a simple dvuhsimnike with an acceptable cost, I would definitely drew attention to Desire 400. Anyway, I liked it more than his closest competitors.

These days we often found ourselves having to talk about the new phablet LG, the G Pro Lite, but only today all our doubts about the device have been dispelled. The company has wanted to put an end to rumors by officially presenting the device.

There is talk of a smartphone with specifications that certainly does not make a miracle, indeed. The particularity of the device is in fact another: the support to the dual-sim and one stylus similar to that of the range of notes Samsung. Specifically, the ‘LG G Pro Lite is equipped with:

• Display 5.5 “960x540p
• Mediatek SoC [email protected]
• 1GB of RAM
• 8GB of internal storage (expandable)
• 8 megapixel camera
• Battery 3140mAh

For now LG does not seem willing to sell phablet in Europe, so we can not make judgments on its cost. If, however, were also sold by us, at an affordable price, some of you would make us a little thought?

For some time rumors about the existence of a variant of the new dual-sim Samsung phablet make their way on our blog. Only now, however, we had confirmation of the veracity of these items, directly from Korea.

The company has presented in the day today the Samsung Galaxy Note III Dual-Sim.

Currently the model is available only in China, but does not seem to be equipped with the famous region-lock which has been much talked about in recent days. The device mount a Snapdragon 800, and it costs about 735 euro, compared to the 700 model with a single sim.

Samsung Unfortunately, in all likelihood, never will not launch this new variant of its top of the range in other markets, but if you really do not know unless the performance and characteristics of a Galaxy Note III combined with a dual-sim support, no one prevents to buy the device from the east (Budget customs!).

More and more, I notice people dvuhsimniki. It is really convenient for those who have a “home” and “working” mobile. There is also a proportion of such users who do not want to switch to another operator of 3G/4G ( especially true in Ukraine), because the change rooms – is simply not an option. Personally, I have recently changed phone number in school, and I already had two times to finish university. And my number is in so many people that I physically can not communicate all that I had changed. The connection through the Edge is not that sad, it is unrealistic to failure. A quick hunt Internetikom so use it!

And there are thoughts of dual sim. This is quite convenient. After all, for people with a bunch of phones dvuhsimnik free pockets and adds comfort. And for fans of Internets poserfit is the solution change the number . But that’s another issue – the price ! After eminent brands are asked for their devices very considerable sums. In such cases, people often turn to less -promoted brands. One of these fast-growing competitors and have the brand Prestigio, which is at a breakneck pace begins to gain an audience interested . Today I ‘ll show you another product from the line Multiphone – PAP 5044, and , looking ahead , I will say that I did not expect this. Sit back !

Design, buttons, display …

To begin with, it’s not a small smartphone . This 5 inch framed in plastic. Use one hand , of course , possible, but uncomfortable. And I do not find fault with this particular model, it is a problem for all large devices. But there is a well- assembled unit. Large Soup, especially in the plastic, often crunchy, but not our guest today. Even with twisting crunch is almost inaudible. With dimensions of 145 x 73 x 8.6 Weight 130 grams device has turned out , and this is one of the lightest in the category pyatidyuymovok. But hand leaves a pleasant sensation, wherein all the parameters.

Included is a great feature. Usually Prestigio complements the phone is not only the headset and charging , but the brand cheholchika . In 5044 went a bit further – the set includes removable rear cover with a cover covering the front. Frankly , I’m skeptical attitude to it, but in practice it turned out that I was wrong. The first point – defense . Nice to know that the glass is something once again defends . The second – “magic” with the device on and off by opening / closing the cover . Uncomfortable it is only those who have a lot of photographs , as it is necessary in every possible way to deal with the cover, but it’s a matter of habit . It should further be noted that no cover covers quite a bit more on, and let it securely fastened , it is still slightly protrudes over the housing. At work is not affected, but the aesthetic impression is not very much.

In placing the work item is no innovation . The back of the body from the top – a convex square box camera with a silver outline. Under the camera – flash and an optional microphone to record audio during video . Bottom on the back – the big mirror Prestigio logo and speaker. Now the sides. On the right side hit the power button on the left – the volume rocker . Bottom – only a microphone , and on top – headset jack and Micro USB. All excellent, but Micro USB bottom would be more convenient – to answer a call when the smartphone is charging at home, subjectively uncomfortable.

Right side looks much better than all the previous Prestigio, which came to us. And let scanned somewhere familiar elements , it is not so important. Cool that air space was gone , as well as circuit switched off the display. This, as you can imagine, adds +14 to the appearance and the overall experience ! On top of the display – the earpiece grille, which is also hidden under the activity indicator, and a little to the right – light sensors / face and a front facing camera. Below the display – touch buttons “Menu”, “Home” and “Back”. By the way , the presence of the touch buttons I like more than a version without them, so there is no black bar at the bottom of the display, which also adds a couple of advantages to appearance. 

The display also will not spoil the experience. On the contrary ! This 5” HD. That is 1,280 x 720 for five inches – it’s not a miracle, but it looks very good. The pixel density of 293 ppi, and that is enough to not see the “ladder” on the round interface elements. Moreover, it is IPS- display, the picture is clear and beautiful. The colors are intense and soft. Illumination sufficient for the sun, but not a lot of stock , and the range of + / – a little . Sensor realizes up to five simultaneous keystrokes and does not slow down as the touch-sensitive buttons below the display. In short, the only thing that can spoil a little experience working with such a screen – prejudice to the authorization. My experience working with him only positive.

Maybe the design is not the most eye-catching and can be found somewhere borrowed elements, he still pulls on its value. In this case, good build and quite pleasant appearance should not disappoint potential buyers. If sufficiently large body device is convenient to use. Another thing is that full use is possible only with two hands , but then again, buying a five-inch smartphone, the user does not have to rely on the ease of use with one hand.

Camera, photos and video

Very quickly that there are two cameras in smartphones and phones became commonplace, without which there is a certain discomfort. We are used to photograph the food and do portraits of themselves with friends. Our present Prestigio received both the desired cameras. A 2-megapixel front facing perfectly shows you just in a good light. Afternoon on the balcony will be cool, but here in the room with artificial light colors are lost, everything will look a bit dark and there will be a lot of noise.

On the main camera a different situation. This is not the 2 and 8 megapixels, there is an outbreak. Sound is recorded for an additional microphone. In practice , again, in a good light camera behaves normally, but its low-light capabilities are not the strongest. Sometimes the autofocus misses (at such times will need to give your camera a little bit of time – and it is adjusted to). But for shooting in daylight camera can (and should) be praised. I remind you that we are not talking about high-end smartphones, but about the middle class. So, in the daytime you can get a good shot in a room with good lighting, but otherwise will be noisy. Clarity is also not the fastest, but it should be enough for most. Yes, exacting photo – geeks do not like it, but if the user has the camera does not come first, then the specific complaints in this regard will not be. A few examples for clarity – and move on to the gland.

Hardware, software and battery

Prestigio PAP5044 DUO performance will bypass all the previous dvuhsimniki that are presented by the company earlier. Of course , this is not a flagship , but the models that we have a year ago boldly called ” srednyachkom ” udelaet to the nines. So, inside PAP5044 placed MTK 6589 ( quad ARM Cortex A7), clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1 GB of RAM , PowerVR SGX544 and drive 4GB ( available to the user a little less than two ) with the ability to throw memory cards Micro SD. Everything works great in the tests shows a very unexpected ( for Prestigio) results. Frankly , I was surprised by its capabilities. In Real Racing 3, you can look in the mirror , the reflection is. And there is no excessive heat , which is also very nice.

Powered device running Android 4.2.1 without modification. Only traditional advertising screen at startup. But it is possible to justify a software package for Prestigio with optional through its own utility , and you do not need extra time to surf the Play Market, simply mark the desired and wait for the installation.

The very same interface works quickly and smoothly as possible, although rare hitch. But , in general, such a device can operate without korvalola. On the contrary, the user will be very pleased, especially for the money. And by the way, he will not be discharged in 10 minutes. The battery capacity of 2000 mAh can comfortably use the active working day. And given the fact that it can be removed, an extra battery just brighten up a long trip.

Dual Sim

In the organization of the two operators of facilities are not so much. In short, if you choose, with which the sim-card call , you must first press the call button and then select the operator. It’s too much action , I like the choice of Sim1 / Sim2. You can link contacts to sim- card, but if you have a lot of contacts ( for comparison – I have more than 200 ), it will take time. In this case, only one is active card , and if you speak first, then the second call will not break . And if you use one for the Internet, and the second – to talk , then while surfing reach you, for it can not survive.

Conclusions and personal impressions

Prestigio – this is the brand to which many refer to grin. He is a young player in the smartphone market, and the cheapest model – it does not really limit desires. PAP5044 DUO but not one of them ! He has a great display ( without the ” air” and any problems ) , good build , and it is a normal sound imputed camera. In this design of the device is also very nice. Like any other device, it also has its disadvantages, but among the low-cost devices our present experimental exactly one of the best.

To pay for such a device would have $ 293. If a user needs a large display , two sim-card and a good value / performance autonomy, the Prestigio PAP5044 DUO can be easily seen in the front row. Personally, I like a smartphone. He “took” with me for over a week during this time, and let not excrete. So, if it does not tear over eminent branded badge on the back of the note on this device, it should please you.
