Today’s review is devoted to the “big smartphone” or, as they say now, Phablet. What the user gets for the money? In addition to the large display (5.5 inches), the device boasts a powerful eight-processor, a very good camera, and a nice design. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, and traditionally begin with a description supplied

Options – Highscreen Spade

Scope of delivery does not include any unexpected accessories, all pretty standard. In the box, apart from the smartphone, you’ll find lace microUSB-USB, mains charger unit, wired headset red instruction.

The box that comes Highscreen Spade, too, the standard for smartphones of this brand – it is made from a rough raw cardboard (such branded chip itself). The top of the package depicted smartphone “in the context” of this scheme, the average user becomes clear arrangement of components gadget, as well as its characteristics.

On the downside, the logo of cloud storage 4Sync and pointed out that the buyer of this model will receive a complimentary 64 GB of space “in the cloud”.

Appearance

Highscreen Spade looks quite elegant and attractive. I am glad that the developers have paid attention not only to the internal characteristics of a smartphone, but its design. Despite its larger display (5.5 inches), the device has a relatively compact dimensions – 150 x 77 mm, particularly pleases a small shell thickness – 8.5 mm. This size was achieved by thin side frames of the screen. Weighs 158 grams device that completely coincides with the visual sensations. The gadget does not feel in the hand is too easy (toy), but at the same time, and does not draw a hand or your pocket.

The area under the display is empty since Android handed keys on the screen. Located on top of the same earpiece, front camera and light sensor and proximity. It also provides LED notifying missed events.

Screen located on the front side Highscreen Spade, securely protected by a special glass, the edges of which slightly rounded, which not only looks unusual but nice to feel your fingers. It is necessary to thank the developers for the presence of the protective film, which is already glued on display at the factory. Film quality, it is in no way distorts the image and does not interfere with your fingers.

Slightly rounded corners device that facilitates comfortable grip. Also, for this is to thank textured matte material from which the heel Highscreen Spade. By the way, selling the unit is available in two colors: black and white. In the case of a white frame on the ends of the device will be silver and black – dark gray.

In the upper left corner of the back of the Highscreen Spade, a silver ring, located in the main camera lens. Under it – the LED flash. At the bottom of the backdrop of the smartphone has two slots, revealing multimedia speaker with a decent level of volume and good sound.

Volume rocker and power button brought to the right end of the smartphone, so it is not necessary to reach – all at your fingertips. Grope keys without problems, since some rise above the body. The buttons clear, there are no false positives, however, twice, too, it is not necessary to press.

At the top is a 3.5mm headphone jack.

At the bottom end – opening the microphone and microUSB-port. The quality of reception / transmission of speech in Spade good, however, as in most modern smartphones in its class.

Under the back cover Highscreen Spade we see the battery capacity of 2,100 mAh, internal memory expansion slot (MicroSD) and two compartments under the SIM-card (miniSIM and microSIM).

Build quality is high, claims about it we did not have.

Soft and memory

Highscreen Spade works on the operating system Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The developers decided not to interfere with the operating system, so the interface is “green robot” looks familiar.

Also, note that there is support for updates over the air (OTA Update). Whatever it was, but still today there are models of local brands that do not know how.

Built-in memory Highscreen Spade is 8 GB. Most users will be enough, but if not – recall of a slot card format MicroSD.

Display

Highscreen Spade is equipped with 5.5-inch display, in fact, so the device is considered Phablet. The screen resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels. This, of course, is not Full HD, but the picture does not look grainy, individual pixels are barely distinguishable on closer inspection. We add that the display is made by technology IPS, hence the image quality. The main “sores» IPS-matrix in Highscreen Spade we have not noticed, that is, when looking at the screen at an angle not give color purple or orange. Natural color reproduction and viewing angles reach maximum values, that is 178 degrees.

Performance

Highscreen Spade is built on a powerful eight-processor MediaTek MT6592, all the cores that can operate simultaneously. Each core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz. The amount of RAM is 1 GB. These characteristics are more than enough for a quick work of the smartphone not only among the Android, but in the “heavy” applications and games.

Speaking of the latter, Highscreen Spade easily cope with all the modern three-dimensional games. This is facilitated not only a powerful eight-processor, but also graphics accelerator Mali-450MP4. In other words, if you are a fan of mobile games, Highscreen Spade be able to provide your leisure for at least another year. That is, the hardware resources of the gadget do not expire during that time.

Relationship

A set of wireless modules at Highscreen Spade standard: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G. All of these adapters are stable, censures them arose. Also say that there are two slots for SIM-card (mini-SIM and microSIM), the principle of which is no different from the vast majority of “dual-sim” on Android: standby both cards are active, and during the call – only one, the second is disabled.

Autonomy

As we have said above, Highscreen Spade used battery capacity of 2100 mAh. One charge is enough for a working day of active service. On average, the batteries have to be charged every 1.5-2 days. This average is worse, but it is better.

Camera

On photographic opportunities, Highscreen Spade developers did their best. Thus, the main camera device has a resolution of 13 megapixel and boasts Blue Glass optics and aperture ƒ / 2.2. Auto, the focus, of course, there is. The quality of the images can be evaluated as high enough.

Front camera Highscreen Spade also not to lose face. It can easily cope not only with video calls, but also capable of doing “crossbows” high quality. This sensor has a resolution of 5 MP, which is very bad by today’s standards.

Conclusion – Highscreen Spade

What, Highscreen Spade turned out quite interesting. Large 5.5-inch display unit did not cumbersome, it could be described as elegant, and the design – attractive. Eight-processor provides powerful gadget high level of performance and makes it possible to play the latest mobile games. Smartphone’s camera also did not disappoint: the main camera can take pictures of high quality and the front – so popular today.

The post Highscreen Spade review – 5,5-inch 8-core Phablet appeared first on Raqwe.

In line Zera S Russian brand Highscreen very interesting story. The fact that his first version is the first smartphone that was designed from the ground up by domestic designers for the brand. Although the device from Highscreen traditionally distinguished by their performance, but their appearance is always created on the basis of “blanks” Chinese factories. Perhaps that is why “fresh» Zera S became very popular model. And not to continue successfully started business would be just silly.

Was later released Highscreen Zera S Power, which, in fact, is an improved and updated version of the original. Now on the shelves you can find Highscreen Zera S Power. This smartphone has a large memory capacity and an impressive battery. However, on this his dignity does not end there.

Options Highscreen Zera S Power

Making the packaging is made in the standard style Highscreen: «processed» cardboard, a schematic representation of the device on the front part and a detailed description – on the back. Inside fairly typical set: direct phone, charger, cable with LED charge primitive headphones, a quick tutorial with a guarantee – simply and without frills.

Appearance Highscreen Zera S Power

But the appearance of this unit will be a much more interesting. It is evident that worked on the design of the soul. Perhaps smartphone looks not so original as I would like (still sticking out “ears” models from LG), but nice and pleasant – definitely. Looks Highscreen Zera S Power “expensive” and therefore go down the street, holding it in his hand – a pleasure.

The thickness of the device has become more – now it is 13 mm (for comparison, was 8.1 mm), but this change is justified by a powerful battery size.

However, the rest of the smartphone’s compact enough, and therefore keep it in your hand more than convenient.

Highscreen Zera S Power has a screen with a diagonal of 4.5 inches, glass coated with oleophobic coating. Last prevents fingerprints.

As for the rest of the body, it is made of polycarbonate and has a cover “soft touch”, very pleasant to the touch, and, importantly, tend to accumulate grease.

Slightly worse things with buttons, which somehow reversed – the power button is on the left, and volume control – right. It’s okay, but if your movements are brought to automaticity, have to get used to.

Slots for two SIM-cards and memory cards for convenience, hidden under the back cover. Pick up the phone qualitatively, without Progal and play.

Software

Powered smartphone on Android 4.4, which is currently more than urgent. Fortunately, there is no preset branded shells – on the system in general there is nothing superfluous, except perhaps that the client “cloud” service 4sync. But the situation is such that service gives customers the device in question 64GB for remote data storage for free, so that the presence of this program do not regret. All other applications are standard for “Android”.

Screen Highscreen Zera S Power

As mentioned above, the device has a small screen, and 4.5 inch. Impression it produces generally positive but somewhat ambiguous. The catch is not very high resolution of 540 by 960 pixels. Although for most purposes it is sufficient – if not to find fault and not seek eye pixels.

But all the other properties of the screen more than fine. IPS matrix without air gap between the screen and the glass allows for excellent viewing angles, bright and very rich colors – in short, everything here at altitude.

Performance Highscreen Zera S Power

At the heart device is MediaTek MT6582M with 4 cores ARM Cortex-A7, each at 1.3 GHz, as well as a video card – Mali-400MP2. The total amount of RAM – 1 GB. Enough common characteristics by modern standards, but it is enough, for example, to play Full HD-video and even for most modern games. However, at the most “advanced” graphics settings are still necessary to put on at least that there was no brakes.

Instead of such games can a lot – the memory capacity has been increased by 2 times, up to 8 GB. If that’s not enough, you can set the MicroSD-card up to 32 GB. And do not forget about the free 64 GB, which provides services to 4Sync – you can easily “make” your pictures there and documents significantly save space on the device.

Sound

The sound quality is quite good, with no clear-cut background noise. The volume level is more than sufficient. Although, of course, better to buy good headphones – the ones that are included, more suited to talk than to listen to music.

Camera

In Highscreen Zera S Power two cameras – front simple, 2 megapixels, but it is suitable for video conversation. Second, the basic, 5 megapixels. The quality of her not outstanding, relatively normal, everyday shooting more than enough.

There is autofocus. Especially a decent color reproduction. Also, the unit can record HD video at 30 frames per second.

Autonomy

But it is, perhaps, the main point of pride devices. Battery capacity is 4000 mAh. In simpler terms, this means that if you are actively loading a smartphone, it still does not sit at the end of the day – more than a third of the charge will be the next.

Well, if you do not spend much charge, and four days of continuous operation will be very real. And, although this increases the size of the battery device, is to recognize that the smartphone at least not look bulky, as it was at Highscreen Boost 2 SE.

Findings

The main achievement Highscreen Zera S Power – is that the smartphone impression of a very expensive device – although, in fact, is an advanced “state employees.” Quality design works wonders. But also on other parameters of the device very good, especially for the money. Capacious battery, excellent screen, as well as high for this class of power – this can be forgiven for not too high screen resolution and frankly the middle chamber. This smartphone is definitely find a buyer, there is no doubt.

The post Overview Highscreen Zera S Power – tenacious smartphone appeared first on Raqwe.

Company Highscreen makes an interesting device, and most importantly – they are much different from their competitors. Reasonable price, good performance, easy to use and it’s not the whole list of benefits. We were on the test got Highscreen Thor.

Design Highscreen Thor

Device strongly resembles Huawei Ascend P6 , as it has a similar front side and the same bend on the bottom. The right and left faces at the top of smooth and rounded at the bottom. Almost the entire front part is covered by a protective glass.

Underneath the display are three touch-sensitive buttons: “Menu”, “Home”, “Back”. They work well and inconvenience in use do not cause.

Above the screen is a front wide-angle camera, light sensors and proximity and the earpiece covered with metal mesh. The speaker volume is high, excellent speech intelligibility, the interlocutor can hear clearly without echo and rattle when exposed maximum volume.

On the faces of the smartphone is present frame, made of dark gray semi-gloss (yes, that’s right – more accurately describe it does not work) plastic. According to Kant close to the screen is a thin frame, and plastic. On the right side at the top is a metal volume button, and on the left – the same type of metal button on / unlock. Both are a tall and not always convenient to use them, especially for the power button.

On the upper face – 3.5 mm jack for headphones and a microphone, and microUSB port are located below for charging and connecting to a PC and a second microphone.

On the rear panel manufacturer has placed a camera that projects slightly above the body, the flash, the inscription «highscreen» and speaker, flanked by two small protrusions are made to sound from the speaker when the smartphone on a flat surface could be heard as loudly as possible. The main back cover is made of Sof-touch plastic, very pleasant to the touch. It can be replaced with a white gloss that comes with the smartphone.

Assembled unit is very good. No backlash and no squeaks. The only drawback is that after a while using the device begin to climb round the corners.

Smartphone with overall dimensions of 145 × 69.8 × 7.6 mm has a mass 143 grams. In his hand the phone is not bad, but the sharp bottom corners make use of the device is not quite convenient, as cut into the palm.

Display Highscreen Thor

Screen size Highscreen Thor is 5 inches with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, pixel density 441 ppi – standard for most of today’s smartphones. This handset has a very high quality IPS-matrix and there is no air gap between it and the glass. This allowed to make maximum viewing angles, since the image is not distorted at all, natural color reproduction, saturation is great. We can say that the screen is worthy of flagship models from famous brands. With a maximum brightness of the sun is not going blind and all actions on it are clearly visible. Oleophobic coating is missing, so fingerprints can not be avoided. Slide your finger across the screen is not particularly good, but you can get used.

Camera

With cameras in the machine all is well, as the back has a resolution of 13 megapixels with a maximum aperture F2.2, and the front – 5 MP camera with F2.8 aperture and wide-angle shooting at 70-80 degrees. The back camera has a dual LED flash, which helps in the dark.

Quality 13 megapixel camera good. Pictures taken on Thor, have great detail, not blurry in the corners, the focus is fast and accurate. Happy photos are feast for the eyes, but in the evening time can be a problem.

Front camera (for a 5 megapixel) does a pretty good shots. Pleased with wide viewing angle, which allows you to remove a virtually full-length, pulling a hand.

Back camera shoots video in FullHD resolution at 30 frames per second, regardless of the lighting conditions. The quality of a good day, and at night visible artifacts. In general, the video will be good, and built-in microphone is able to record high-quality and clear sound.

The interface of the camera more interesting settings, such as “living pictures” – a short video, “beautiful face”, so that the resulting picture with smooth skin imperfections, and so on. Video is recorded in FullHD-resolution, there is an electronic stabilization when shooting.

Autonomy

Highscreen Thor uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery capacity of 2000 mAh, which “lives” about 12-13 hours in a relatively active mode with permanently active Wi-Fi, using the camera, watching videos in YouTube, twitter, email and permanently enable synchronization.

In the continuous play smartphone will run up to 2.5 hours at an average brightness and average volume. will not prevaricate, the battery – it is the weakest point of the machine.

Sound Highscreen Thor

External speaker gives loud good sound without any distortion and wheezing. In the setting of a special point to amplify the sound when it is turned sound from the speaker is really a bit enhanced, but there wheezing.

Sound in the headphones is fine for normal use. Special point for sound amplification of the headphones can also be seen in the settings. Yes sound is amplified, but the maximum volume audible background noise.

Hardware platform and performance Highscreen Thor

Highscreen Thor works thanks to the powerful eight-processor MediaTek MT6592W video accelerator and Mali-450. The frequency of each core is 1.7 GHz. Smartphone has 2GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, of which the user data are about 13 GB, but the memory can be expanded microSD memory card up to 32 GB.

Heavy games go confidently. I have been tested 3 and Real Racing Asphalt 8. Both toys worked well and showed a high level of graphics. With work applications are also all right. Multitasking works quickly, switching between applications is fast. The device is easy to playback video files, including any 1080p.

Network and Telecom

Highscreen Thor is equipped with two slots for SIM-card. One under the micro-SIM, the other – mini-SIM. There is support for 3G, installed modules Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 + EDR and GPS.

Shell and software

In the joy of fans of “pure» Android – Thor is not burdened by any company developments Highscreen. In addition to the smartphone there is no unnecessary programs, and installed only the most necessary to complete the work “out of the box.”

Thor is running Google Android version 4.2.2, which is not very good, since the same Highscreen Boost 2 SE got Android 4.3. The manufacturer states that have slowly begin to “come” OS upgrade to 4.4.2, but when using the unit so I did not wait. Of pre-installed applications can be noted in file manager and 4Sync synchronization (with 128 GB of cloud storage as a gift).

Conclusions – Highscreen Thor

Highscreen Thor – good, thin, perfectly assembled unit with a pleasant IPS- screen, productive vismiyadernym processor, a decent 13 megapixel main camera, “naked” Android without a lot of unnecessary pre-installed software, extra white removable panels in the set, but still supports two SIM-cards. Performance iron Thor enough to perform absolutely any task, and sometimes you can play and what some tyazhelenkuyu toy.

But, as is usually the case, all is good, if not a few drawbacks. Firstly, I always disliked protruding camera, since their safety glass is easily scratched. Second, the button switch is very high. To turn on the unit, it is necessary to shift a little lower in the palm that the thumb could reach it – it causes some discomfort. Back in the minuses can be written in the corners peeling soft-touch coating and an older version of the operating system Android 4.2.

Summing up, we can safely say that Highscreen Thor – an interesting device, but with its own characteristics. If you’re looking for an inexpensive smartphone with good quality and two cameras, then it’s your choice.

The post Review of the Smartphone Highscreen Thor appeared first on Raqwe.

I never thought of staff of the Chinese alliance Highscreen as suitable for the role of “basic” phone. No, it does not mean that they can not be established – it is just simply, the company has a very good device so that I can personally select models Spark and Alpha Ice , and Alexander Lyapota – Explosion . However, svezheanonsirovannogo Boost II, I think I can be called the best candidate for the role of “second tube”, this is also an important place in your pocket. Now, if you’re going to go anywhere on vacation, or you desperately need the presence of two more rooms to maintain a positive rhythm of life and workflow, it is this new living fit for this role at an opportune moment, she lives a very, very long time and by the right can challenge the most promising in this respect smartphones.

Generally, this is the first Android-based smartphone, equipped with “out of the box” battery of 6000 mAh, and moreover, they (the battery) there are two, there is one at 3000 mAh, which is physically smaller than the first at about the same 2-fold, and that its volume.

Unfortunately, unlike some Motorola, here the designers and engineers definitely did not fit the task was more milliampere-hours a smaller body, with the additional cap sits on it … bad. With her smart phone creaks almost constantly, as if you are not spinning in his hands and squeezed – and with the standard, “thin” cover such problems, all perfectly tailored and leaves the impression if not expensive, just a nice smartphone, hard and fine downed . Strange, but it as it is.

Under the hood is located two slots for microSIM-cards (only one of them can transmit data to the mobile 3G) and one – for memory cards microSD:

By the way, the “main” cap Boost II is very similar to the OPPO Find 5 – almost a similar size, whether it’s height, width, or thickness (140 x 68.6 x 9.8 mm) is almost identical to the metal casing that runs along the top of the ends of the housing; plastic “chin” and touch-sensitive keys, of which there are three (“Menu”, “Home” and “Back”).

However, at the beginning they are introduced into a stupor, because the side “Menu” and “Back” are no different to each other and look like two glowing circles – if it were not for the familiar “Samsung” layout, then I would be very confused for a long time in between . But the key functionality of “House” is somewhat extended and somewhat like the Meizu MX2, though, of course, has all of the huge range of possibilities, with which is endowed with a purebred Chinese, here is the only LED-indicator alerts the blue-blue.

Buttons, in addition to three nautical touch, there are four, and it’s a familiar twin “rocker” volume control, power button, and another button for quick start-up, which can be assigned to one of four things, whether it’s running or the front of the main chamber, the opening of the application ” Music “and take a picture of the screen. Alas, with off (locked) display key also no signs of life, so quickly start the camera without spending time to turn on the display, you can not.

In the lower left corner helpfully located recess, which allows to easily remove the back cover:

At the top of the back of the eye located 8 MP camera with LED-flash, high power, a second microphone used for noise reduction, the bottom is also a multimedia speaker volume and the average of the same average quality, though much falls short of the best representatives of the market, and the sound ploskovat not so loud. Spoken same speaker has a medium-high volume, call quality normal, without any drawdowns from any of the communicating parties.

And that’s what a smartphone does not take away, it’s a good 5 “IPS-LCD production company Sharp. Despite the resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (which generally does not interfere at all unnoticed) and not the “deep” black, the picture is bright and intense, and at angles almost does not lose its basic qualities, colors fade a little bit, that does not affect the readability of information.

Built-in cameras are not enough stars in the sky, but frankly disgusting and I too can not be called, with most at this time is really quite good – the first two pictures in the gallery below are made with and without the flash, respectively, with the rest settled for indoor lighting and cloudy autumn sky :

The operating system, as it is inherent in almost all devices from Highscreen, represents a nearly “naked» Android without any major modifications to the graphical shell. As in the case of the Alpha Ice, you have at your disposal cloud storage 4Sync, as much as 20 GB – familiarize yourself with what it is and how it looks and works here . In general, the software from the notorious Alpha Ice practically does not differ.

The main criticism is related to performance of the device, and if the budget is usually smart phones (the same Spark) inhibit primarily in heavy games, then in the case of Boost II all up but on the contrary, because the games here are surprisingly acceptable (even the Dead Trigger Modern Combat 2 and 4), which is not the smoothness of common, standard interface of the operating system Android. Troubled by almost all, whether scrolling desktops long lists or “unfolding” the notification bar. It should be noted that third-party applications, the situation is much better, the same Twitter (beta version of the official client), as well as Vkontakte work tolerably well and do not strain once again to the already frightened person. However, it’s nit-picking, because if we consider the Boost II as a “spare tire” to talk, then, by and large, there is no difference, the behavior of the device in everyday use, because the quality of communication and transmission of voice, as has been said, are ” on the level. “

But the main criterion and the main feature of why the second “boost” should be in the role of a substitute player – while it is running. If the “rape” device, driving him into the tail and mane, then at night you will squeeze something out of it about 12 hours a screen with the battery installed at 6000 mAh, but if only from time to time to call a smart phone really can work for up to two weeks. In my mode of use should turn out a little less, about 12 days – alas, I did not have enough time to check it out, or at least thoroughly examine the discharge process. It is worth noting that, despite the time, “sleeping” smartphone is extremely bad, and then, with further updates may not function any longer.

Benchmarks were run, of course, a bad idea, and in this case, the numbers do not lie – even though I have long been opposed to any setuyu synthetic measurement of CPU performance (video graphics – still all right, but the most advanced in this respect “game» 3D Mark here refused to work):

Summing up, we can say that any buyer should first determine the purpose for which was developed this smartphone, more precisely, the purpose, because it is only one – a long run, and this is a smartphone performs on “Cheers.” If you take it for just that, the price of  $ 340 is justified, the same svezhevyshedshy Nexus 5, worth about the same, despite all its advantages in terms of technology, is working very, very small, it is absolutely incomparable performance , but if you need a powerful smartphone that is at the peak of progress (time and work you are willing to sacrifice), then here is worth paying attention to other products, and may suit other models from the same manufacturer.

One of the main advantages of Apple iPhone over other smartphones is its popularity, thanks to which any more or less self-respecting manufacturer of accessories is committed to release a number of cheholchika, bamperochkov, protective enclosure with an extra battery and god knows what else – most importantly, that the buyer could not stand by this product. With the passage of time and other phones are beginning to boast a broad line of affordable decorations, if earlier it was the prerogative of only the most popular smartphones such as Galaxy S2/S3, but now almost all of them can find at least one or two of the original cover.

Russian-Chinese alliance Highscreen, represented in Russia by “Vobis Computer” (and hers) went further, proposing to the buyer at the same time five (!) Interchangeable colored back panels (available in the following colors – black, white, orange, red, and blue), reaching supplied with the phone. The manufacturer is positioning the device to as “smartphone Nedelka”, where you can change the cover every working day. We do not know how important this is, but if you get bored with the look of your device, you should pay attention to Highscreen Omega Prime Mini.

Specifications are similar to those in other models of the company, this is not the top-end solutions available on the market, but for the inexperienced user – it. And the model is, in fact, is a miniature copy of the local champions, judge for yourself, and features a quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q with a maximum operating frequency of 1.2 GHz, 1 GB of RAM is small, and 4 GB of main memory (with an option to extend it for using memory cards microSD), 4.3-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, 8 MP main camera (front sensor is equipped with a 2 MP) and battery 1600 mAh pm It is unlikely that we can expect a decent time work, it is most definitely not in the light of the recently released Boost 2 from the same company. But there is a FM-radio, and, of course, proprietary feature of all models of this manufacturer – two slots for SIM-cards. The operating system is a version of Android 4.1.2.

Omega Prime Mini Dimensions are 139 x 70 x 9 mm, and the cost is approximately $ 235.

Smartphone Highscreen Alpha R, which we will look at in this review, is of interest only after consulting the child’s characteristics “on paper” . Over 13 thousand rubles offered two batteries total capacity of 6000 mAh and a 5 -inch display with a resolution of Full HD. The first option in the apparatus of the ( middle ) class , we have not met , the second is extremely rare. Meanwhile, for the calculation of smartphones with Full HD- matrices and support for two SIM- cards available on the Russian market, enough fingers of one hand – they are very few .

In general , in theory Highscreen Alpha R is very interesting , but what about in practice? Let’s deal.

The smartphone comes in a small cardboard box , which shows his ” insides ” with signatures. This is the standard version of the design of the Highscreen, the brand used for about a year . Reaction to it varies from ” Cool! ” To “Take this horror!”.However , the formulation of interesting and definitely has a right to exist.

Scope of supply – a special subject. It includes a wired headset ( it looks expensive, but it sounds bad, so it is time to change it to something more solid ) , charger unit , USB-cable and Japanese protective film for touchscreen with oleophobic coating. Instructions and warranty card is also in place.

Further interesting: with Highscreen Alpha R ships with two batteries – the first in 2000 mAh battery, the second – in 4000 . Logically, a second much thicker than the first battery so that the box also found two removable rear panel. In our case, they are white , and because the unit itself is made of white plastic ( with a black front panel ) . However, in nature , there is also all black version, which , in our opinion , it looks a little less pretty. 

Appearance Highscreen Alpha R can not be considered quite so faceless , however , and the title of a masterpiece of design model does not apply. Ordinary smartphone – the best of a pretty , fairly quiet , fairly boring. I am glad that the white version of the black left front panel , through the course of this device looks better. Compiled Highscreen Alpha R carefully, both covers are kept as bonded , do not play and do not produce any sound when compressed.

The rear cover and side edges are made of glossy plastic , it is not visible any scratches or fingerprints. ( The main body of the black version is likely to be well marked , and the first and second . ) Front , including a display, nestled glass. Probably some kind of an oleophobic coating there are also – the surface is dirty, but in moderation.

On the left side edge is large enough volume control wheel . On the right side of the casing there are no connectors , but the microphone is on the bottom . In the same place you can see the hole for removing the rear cover . 

The top side has a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, MicroUSB port and a power button device / activation of its display . In truth, praise the developers for such a structure we can not . Not only that in large vessels ( and Highscreen Alpha R just cattle) more logical to have the power button on one of the side faces , as in the case of our smartphone , it is also close to the port MicroUSB. If the cable is inserted into it the same charger , then press it very uncomfortable. 

The front panel contains light and proximity sensors , the lens is a 2-megapixel front camera , earpiece grille , touch-screen display and three touch-sensitive keys also control . They also have some questions: “Back” button and the ” context menu ” for some reason reversed , that is the first in Highscreen Alpha R is on the left , and the second – on the right . Yes , over time, get used to it , and yet a strange move .

With the battery on 2000 smartphone has a thickness of about 9 mm, with battery on 4000 – at 13 . Quite a few , but too thick Highscreen Alpha R is not perceived. In the hand unit is perfect for any battery. But the weight with a more powerful battery, let’s face it , a large 204 g versus 156 g with battery capacity of 2000 mAh.

Screen smart phone , as mentioned above, has a diagonal of 5 inches with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is the technology TFT-IPS, which in theory guarantees the wide viewing angles and a nice looking calm color reproduction. In practice, all turned out well . Moreover , the brightness of the display is so high that for comfortable work in the room is enough to expose it to the 15 percent level . The street is quite 50 percent , and the rest – for special judges . The touch panel is manufactured using technology OGS, that is one with the whole matrix. The sensitivity of the touchscreen is very high, it is very precisely reacts to finger presses.

In general , the screen – definitely a strong point Highscreen Alpha R, previously nothing like we have not seen any devices Highscreen, or in any other Android-based smartphone in this price category.

The basis Highscreen Alpha R MediaTek MT6589T chipset supports quad-processor (architecture ARM Cortex-A7) and PowerVR SGX544 graphics accelerator from the company Imagination Technologies. Version of the “T ” is different from the usual MT6589 frequency of computing and graphics cores: in this case MT6589T 1.5 GHz and 357 MHz, in the case of MT6589 « only” 1.2 GHz and 286 MHz. Logically, Highscreen Alpha R used a more powerful version of the chipset , yet he has to “serve” the screen with a resolution of Full HD. But the RAM model , alas, only 1 GB – would like to see here at least 2 or 1.5 GB ( as in some smartphones Samsung).

Built-in memory is not too much – 4 GB , and the user can use a maximum of 3 . At the same MicroSD card slot in Highscreen Alpha R, of course , there is. It is located under the back cover and the battery is not covered .

Here are a few screenshots of benchmarks:

Anyway , no delay in the Android interface is not – and it works quickly and smoothly, not to find fault with anything. With games a little bit more complicated : 3D- average toy like Shadowgun DeadZone Dead Trigger or go without any problems , but in a more modern Riptide GP Real Racing 2 or 3 you can play, but the process will be accompanied by a slowdown even on minimum settings . However, you can still play , though not with much comfort .

Some screenshots of games: 

With the wireless module is very simple – they have and work. Here is their list : Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n), GPS. The work of two SIM-cards is implemented in a standard way : in standby mode, both cards are available , while on the second one off. With the 3G- compatible networks, only one slot .

The Android operating system in Highscreen Alpha R is version 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. It may be that later released an update to 4.2.2 , but so good. Special customization , both in the same Highscreen Omega Prime XL, not here – the usual icons , “dialer “, the notification bar , lock screen , and so on. Interface another camera such as a model Highscreen Alpha GTX. Out of the ordinary can be noted software for backup applications.

In addition, there is an application “Studio ” ( simple and best of its kind video editor ) and the customer service 4sync. It can be installed for free on any device , in this case the user will have 15 GB of space in the “cloud.” For some devices, Highscreen – including Alpha R – offers 20 GB.

Camera interface with screenshots can be found below.

As for the photographic opportunities 8-megapixel camera (there’s autofocus and LED flash ), they are average. Of the features we mention the sports mode – it makes a very good still images of moving objects. HDR- shooting is not the most advanced , but in appropriate situations is quite helpful. One more thing: if you press the button once to create the image, the picture will be blurred , with a focus somewhere in the side . So first you have to click on an object on the screen where you want to focus on. 

Video Highscreen Alpha R records in 3GP format with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD 1080p). The quality can be estimated on the four with minor flaw . Here we add that the front camera in the smartphone has a resolution of 2 megapixels, it is quite normal to work in the client Skype.

For dessert – a story about batteries . In the test AnTuTu Battery Test device with a battery installed at 4000 mAh won first place in the ranking. However Benchmark performance , much more interesting how things in practice.

Things are as follows : in the ” screen brightness at 15 %, 20 minutes a day , a couple of letters and a couple of websites , some photos » Highscreen Alpha R is able to last up to a week . That is two and a half days for the unit “lives” of the batteries with 2000 mAh and another four and a half days – from the battery capacity of 4000 mAh. Naturally, this is the perfect ” hothouse ” conditions , and in real life, two batteries provide up to 4.5-5 work days. However, this is a very good result , especially considering that the Android operating system is still rather ” greedy ” and Highscreen Alpha R is equipped with a quad-core processor and screen format Full HD.

Verdict

Highscreen Alpha R – Smartphone unique in its kind : it is enough to say that initially MediaTek chipsets do not support batteries with different capacities ( the controller is configured for one specific value ) , so that the creation of this unit developers had a good ” plow ” system software MT6589T. So, two batteries and a long battery life – this is the first feature Highscreen Alpha R. The disadvantages , of course, also have : I would like to see here 2 GB of RAM, a more capacious built-in storage , as well as other location of the key switch on.

Oh, and for serious games Highscreen Alpha R is not intended fact. However, due to the price ( $ 390) this point does not seem very much a serious disadvantage. Especially as the positives at the device much more.
