For a long time, LG literally churned out the same type of smartphones. From time to time, only the technical elements and names of the devices changed. One of these devices was the mobile phone LG Max X155, reviews of which quickly spread across the Internet. Today we will talk about him.
Specifications
The smartphone works in cellular networks of the second and third generation. In the first case, at two frequencies, in the second - at three. Data transmission in the international network is carried out using the HSPA + standard. Simultaneous use of two SIM cards is supported. The battery of the device is designed for a capacity of 2540 milliamps per hour. The dimensions in all three planes are 140.8 by 71.6 by 9.6 millimeters. In this case, the mass is 155.5 grams. If we talk about color schemes, then initially the device was presented in titanium and gold versions. White has now been added.
Smartphone LG Max X155, reviews of which quickly spreadon the World Wide Web, has a display with a diagonal of five inches. At a density of 196 dots per inch. The operating system of the “Android” family version 5.0 is preinstalled. The device is based on a quad-core processor.
Phone LG Max X155, reviews of which are actively left by its customers, is equipped with one gigabyte of RAM and eight gigabytes of long-term memory. The cameras are not very powerful. There is a small set of additional functions.
Smartphone LG Max X155 Gold, reviews of which are not the best, is able to play a considerable number of audio file formats. This and have already become standard MP3 and WAV. Plays video in MP4 and 3GP formats. A 3.5 mm jack is provided for connecting wired headphones. The range of communication options is not impressive. Everything you need for normal work is present. Wi-Fi operates in the b, g and n bands. And synchronization with a computer can be done using the MicroUSB port.
Positioning
Smartphone LG Max X155 Titan, reviews of which can be found in this article, was born in 2015. By the way, this device has different names that are assigned to it depending on the region of sales. In the CIS countries, the apparatus is nevertheless known under the name under which we present it now. It has a big name. It's about the word Max. But at the same time, it does not give the buyer so many opportunities. We can say, a minimum of opportunities with a maximum of money. And why did it happenwe will discuss.
Appearance features
LG Max X155, reviews of which will be given at the end of the article, is made of plastic. Its back cover has a small embossed pattern for more "perseverance" in the user's hands. This is a really practical solution. Now stains and fingerprints will not be noticeable on the lid. And if they do, then just a little. The device does not tend to slip out of the hands.
About Processor
It is hardly possible to call the model being reviewed today a powerful one. If only in comparison with other, less productive devices. But for its price category, LG does not show the best parameters, no matter what anyone says about this. Four cores that run at a clock speed of 1.3 gigahertz, an unknown graphics accelerator - that's what is inside the device. Synthetic tests were repeatedly carried out. The performance level shows that "Mali-400 MP" is installed here as a video chip. The role of the chipset is played by MediaTek MT6582.
To view pages on the Internet, to surf freely in it and to hang out in social networks, however, such a hardware will be enough. This provides quite good performance. But if you are looking for a phone that can run and use “heavy” programs and toys, then this model is clearly not for you. Frames in games will shamelessly sag. And lower the qualitygraphics are not always successful. This will already be a noticeable problem. Yes, and sometimes you don’t want to give up some visual effects in favor of performance.
About memory
For user needs, 8 gigabytes of memory is available, as the specifications say. But we all know perfectly well that operating systems take some space for themselves. That is why, in fact, about 4 GB of free space remains. It is impossible to install applications on a memory card, this feature was not taken into account by the designers of the mobile architecture. This should be considered if there is a question about buying a device. The fact is that if you are going to use the free space on your phone specifically for installing applications, then serious problems will arise. You will constantly have to get out, removing one game and installing another in its place. The memory capacity of the phone can be increased by using an external drive up to 32 gigabytes in size. However, this space can only be used to store multimedia files. RAM is presented in the amount of one gigabyte.
About battery life
The power source here is a lithium-ion battery rated at 2540 milliamps per hour. For this smartphone, this is enough. Probably, the peculiarity lies in the iron "stuffing" installed in the smartphone. She is not picky, and she spends energy carefully. In fact, the display does not have the best resolution, andThe processor is not as powerful as it might seem. Thanks to this, you can use the novelty from LG throughout the day. At the same time, the user will soon stop paying attention to the charge level, and will get used to the fact that it lasts for a day or two.
And this despite the fact that it can be actively used to surf the Web. Another thing is if the user starts playing games. With them, the device will sit down quickly enough, since the hardware will be largely strained. This can be felt with the help of tactile contact: the smartphone will noticeably heat up. Thus, with intensive loads, the device can withstand one or two days of operation. Less active users will be able to squeeze twice as much out of it.
About cameras
In general, the main camera module is equipped with the function of auto focusing on the subject. However, it does not differ in special quality. It doesn't work very accurately. A more or less good result, clear, not blurry, can only be obtained with a long hover or after taking three to five consecutive shots. Well, if things are so bad already with focus, let's try to imagine how things are with detail. And in fact, it is very, very bad. Yes, of course, you can scan the QR code. However, you can forget about creating high-quality pictures and good “selfies” for social networks. Sometimes it seems that there are not even five megapixels at all, but even less.
Similar things are happening in the field of camera settings. The interface is not evensimple - it is scarce. Minimum settings, minimum possibilities. The only thing that somehow saves the situation in this area is a virtual flash for the front camera. Its role is played by the screen, shortly before taking a picture, including a white backlight. There is a feature called “Gesture Capture”. However, it is unlikely that her presence can correct the minimum set of settings. In general, here we are dealing with a camera that may be suitable for video calls, but will not be the best option for portrait photography.
About display
The subject of our today's review is equipped with a five-inch screen. It outputs the image as FWVGA. It obviously cannot boast of a good resolution: 854 by 480 pixels. It is logical that things are just as bad with pixel density. The manufacturer decided to save even more. Usually it's like: “Why do we need Super AMOLED? Let's install IPS, it's a state employee!” What is here? “Why do we need IPS? Let's install the matrix even cheaper!” And here it is simply useless to say that we have a budget solution in front of us.
Yes, there are some positive moments. Of course, within the segment. So, there is a good color rendition here. The colors are not faded, although it is a little pleasing. There is a good margin of brightness to make it convenient to work with the phone in sunlight. However, all this is crossed out by low resolution, poor viewing angles, the lack of an oleophobic coating (due to which fingerprints stick) and additional protection. Scratch the screen without a film? Easy!
About communications and sound
Setcommunication opportunities are not particularly rich. Rather, everything is standard here. All the same bluetooth version 4.0, navigation via GPS and A-GPS, even two Micro SIM cards, modules for working in cellular networks of the second and third generations and, of course, Wi-Fi standards b, g, n. Well, where without him today? The speaker is also standard. It does not differ in special loudness, but it cannot be called quiet either. There are no noises in the conversational dynamics. Headphones work fine.
LG Max X155 Titan. Customer Reviews
It's time to sum up everything that has been said so far and find out the opinions of people who have purchased this phone. As they all point out, the price tag turned out to be too high, and the device did not live up to the expectations placed on it by deceived users. Although the question immediately arises as to where they were looking when they bought it.
Nevertheless, many people who have purchased the device note that it has no strengths. Today, even within the budget segment, it is significantly inferior to its closest competitors in almost all respects. And where he doesn’t lose, he just fights on equal terms. It lacks the performance, photographic features, and design flair to captivate potential buyers. The operating system "Android" version 5.0 does not save the situation at all. She cannot do this alone. People who bought this smartphone say that you should only repeat their mistake if you want to brag to others about the opportunity to purchase a branded device, not a Chinese one.
