Nowadays, you can find a considerable number of worthy models on the smartphone market. Probably, the most fierce competition between various manufacturers takes place just the same in the budget segment. Who is not there! The Russians, the Chinese, the Koreans, and the British met in a long battle. By the way, today we will talk about the apparatus of the latter. So, get acquainted: a smartphone called 4415 "Fly"!
Technical indicators
"Fly 4415", the characteristics of which we will give below, also belongs to the budget segment of the smartphone market. What can this modest device, sold in mobile phone stores for 4,500 Russian rubles, offer us? Small size, quad-core processor running at 1.3 GHz, 5-megapixel main camera. However, the device is based on an interesting design with bright colors. Here is the distinctive side of the device. Did the British manage to play this card? Let's try to figure it out.
Package set
The package 4415 "Fly" includes the following items. In the box you can find the smartphone itself, a 3.5 mm wired headset, a quick start guide, a warranty card, a MicroUSB cable, and a charger. As we can see, the delivery set is almost minimal. If there were no wired headset, it would be so. Although such a budget model does not particularly need additions, probably.
Exterior
Fly phone has the following dimensions. Its height is 131 millimeters, width and thickness, respectively, 65.9 and 8.3 millimeters. With such indicators, the mass of the device does not exceed 124 grams. If we talk about the build quality, then there are complaints, although not very serious. Nevertheless, backlash is quite easy to detect when driving. The question of the strength of the structure remains open. The back panel is made of matte plastic. It has a medium thickness.
Ergonomics
This is exactly what the 4415 "Fly" can boast of. Its body has a fairly small thickness (only 8.3 millimeters). Probably, such an indicator can still be called a feature, rather than commonplace. By the way, the device is released on the smartphone market in three color options. The first is blue, the second is white, the third is black. The user may ask: well, where is the promised interesting appearance? And the point here is that although there are not so many color combinations, the shades are really pleasing to the eye. Takethe same blue machine. This phone 4415 "Fly" has a black front, made of durable glossy plastic. And the back panel is already blue, made of matte plastic, trimmed with a metallic shade. It shimmers in the sunlight.
This move by the manufacturer creates interest among users who like this model. The rear panel of the device is for the front something like an incomplete edge. Therefore, it seems that the rest of the apparatus is recessed into the lid. Something similar can be found in the Lumiy design. In terms of design, the phone can safely claim to be a plus thanks to a unique design solution.
Front part
Here you can encounter not very high quality protective glass. It gets dirty very quickly. Above we find the front camera peephole. It is rated at 0.3 megapixels. There is also a spoken speaker. Below you can find touch controls. These are the Windows, Go to Desktop, and Back buttons in sequence from left to right.
Other items
Behind there is a peephole of the main camera. It has a resolution of 5 million pixels. There is also an LED flash, as well as a sound speaker. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the eye of the camera protrudes from the plane of the body. Just one millimeter, but making sure that nothing happens to him is still worth it. At the top end, you can find two entrances at once. This is a wired headset jackstandard 3, 5 millimeters and connector standard MicroUSB. On the left side there is a paired key designed to change the sound mode or volume. On the opposite side is a button that allows you to block the Fly phone. Buttons are strong, play is minimal. Here you can say “thank you” to the British manufacturer.
Display
He has a diagonal of 4415 "Fly" equal to 4.5 inches. The matrix is made using IPS technology. The resolution is lame, of course, only 854 by 480 pixels. Not so much. The picture is displayed on the screen as FWVGA. However, there are also positive aspects. In addition to IPS, OGS technology was used. And this means that there will be no air gap between the sensor and the display. Due to this, the thickness of the display has been minimized. Which eventually affected the responsiveness of the screen. There is no particularly strong splitting of the image into individual pixels, so inexperienced users can put up with such insufficient resolution. But moviegoers will find it much more difficult. Among other positive qualities, bright and saturated colors can be noted, since the color reproduction here is at a fairly high level. Transmission angles are also good. Perhaps this is all I would like to say about the display of the Fly 4415 phone, reviews of which we will give at the end of the article.
Operating system and software
It would be very handy to mention here that there is a custom firmware "Fly 4415". It will help optimize the performance of the device. We go further. The smartphone is running an operating system of the Android family, version 4.4.2. There is no shell from the manufacturer, so the user interface is, as they say, “default”, without any frills. The upper “curtain” will open quick access to recent activities and basic settings, as well as show the status of the smartphone.
The keyboard is also factory, without add-ons. You can change this using the appropriate applications by finding them in the Play Market service. By the way, since we are talking about programs, we note the presence of built-in services from Google. There are already two browsers preinstalled. One from Google, the other standard. The latter, of course, is inferior both in terms of interface and speed. And switching between existing tabs is not very convenient. Regarding the system settings, you won’t tell much, there are the following sections: “Accounts”, “Wireless networks”, “Personal data”, “System” and “Device”.
Photographic opportunities
As mentioned earlier, the smartphone is equipped with a rear camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels and a front camera with a resolution of 0.3 MP. In addition to the main module, an LED flash, auto focus on the subject, and digital zoom are included. The front camera has a fixed focus. What pleased me was that the settings are a real spectrum. You can adjust the mode, focus, size of photos and their quality, work with the face recognition function.
The rear camera shoots quite well for its 5 megapixels. There is alsocolor saturation, and brightness. The surprise was the fact that good shooting is provided not only in the daytime, but also at night. The situation is much worse with photographs taken with the front camera. It will not provide sufficient quality for selfie shots. Its capabilities are only enough to call in the relevant video services.
Work offline
Due to the reduced thickness, the manufacturer had to sacrifice battery capacity. For its segment, it shows a capacity that is 20 percent less than its direct competitors. However, in order to somehow compensate for this shortcoming, the manufacturer decided to install a more efficient and energy-independent processor. So, if you wish, you can squeeze a whole working day of use out of your smartphone. Here, the quality of the picture, which is given out through insufficient screen resolution, is very handy. If it were higher, the model would have to be abandoned due to rapid discharge. "Fly 4415", whose battery is designed for 1650 milliamp-hours, can not boast of exorbitant results. But he copes well with the main tasks assigned to him.
Conclusion and reviews
What do buyers of this device say in their reviews? First, the Fly 4415 cases are hard to come by and it becomes a problem. Secondly, the device has a weak battery (compensated by low CPU consumption). Thirdly, the speaker is made very strangely, there are certain problems with it. Fourth andfifthly, it is a low resolution and a very small amount of RAM (only 512 megabytes). But that's where the weaknesses end.
And now for the benefits. These include, for example, the thin and light body of the smartphone. Color solutions are not multifaceted, but very interesting. The display has good color reproduction and more than acceptable viewing angles. There is the possibility of integrating two SIM-cards. Well, the composition ends with a berry - the price of the device is 5,000 rubles.
