A budget-class smartphone with a bright and unusual design, as well as an excellent computing platform - this is "Exply Vega". Reviews, its hardware and software stuffing, as well as the capabilities of this device - that's what will be described in detail in this short review article.
Gadget equipment
Quite the usual equipment for this gadget. Nothing unusual, it stands out from the competition. The Expo Vega phone is sold with the following accessories:
- 2200 mAh battery.
- Modest entry-level headphones.
- Adapter cable for connecting to a computer (it is also used to charge the battery).
- Charger.
From the documentation, you can highlight the user manual, at the end of which there is also a warranty card. But accessories such as a case, a protective film and a memory card will have to be purchased separately. They do not come with a smartphone.
Gadget design
This smart phone has an impressive size. Its length is 138.5 mm,the width is 71.9 mm and the thickness is 10.7 mm. His weight is 159 grams. The display diagonal is 4.7 inches. Despite the impressive dimensions, the smartphone itself fits perfectly in the hand, and managing it without the help of a second hand is not difficult. Physical control buttons are displayed on the right edge of the device. In turn, wired ports are grouped on its upper side. Touch control buttons, as expected, are located under the display. The body of the gadget is made of plastic with a matte finish.
CPU
Sufficiently productive processor installed in the "Explay Vega". Reviews regarding its performance are once again convinced of this. To be more precise, we are talking about MT6582. This is a quad-core solution that can operate at a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz in peak computing mode. Each of its modules is based on the most common A7 architecture. Most everyday tasks on this silicon crystal will be solved without problems. The only thing it certainly can't handle is the most demanding toys of the latest generation, such as Asph alt 7.
Graphics
The basis of the graphics subsystem in this smartphone is the MALI 400MP2 adapter. Its performance is quite enough to solve most problems at the moment. The display matrix is made using IPS technology, the resolution is 800 x 480, and the diagonal is 4.7 inches. The density of dots on its surface is far from the maximum, but still the quality of the picture does not cause any complaints. The only thing that causes some dissatisfaction in this case is the support for only two touches. For some of the most demanding toys, this will not be enough. The graphics subsystem of this smartphone can handle everything else without any problems.
Camera
The main camera, which is very modest by today's standards, is installed in the Expo Vega phone. Reviews about the insufficient quality of photos and videos obtained with its help are another confirmation of this. It is based on a 5 megapixel sensor. Also, the device has such important options as autofocus and LED flash. In daylight, the photo quality is acceptable. In turn, in the dark, achieving normal photo quality on this device is quite problematic. The situation is similar with video recording. With a good level of illumination, the quality of the video does not cause any complaints, but this cannot be said about the dark time of the day. The situation is much better with the front camera. She has a sensitive element of 2 megapixels. This allows you to make calls and at the same time receive a sufficiently high-quality image in programs such as Skype.
Memory
Very little RAM is installed in the "Explay Vega". Reviews indicate a total volume of 512 MB, of which only about 200 MB are allocated for the needs of the user. Of course, this is clearly not enough at the moment to run multiple applications at the same time. But for 2-3 tasks this will be enough. Only 4 GB is the capacity of the built-in storage. Of themabout 2 GB is occupied by system software. The rest is allocated to the user. There is also a slot for installing an external drive, the maximum capacity of which can be 32 GB.
Battery
The capacity of the complete battery of this device is 2000 mAh. The diagonal of the screen of this gadget, as noted earlier, is 4.7 inches. Also, the device has an integrated quad-core processor, there are 2 slots for installing SIM-cards. As a result, one battery charge can last 4 days, but with the condition of maximum battery savings. In reality, this figure is 2-3 days with an average level of use of the device. If you use it to the maximum, then this value will decrease to 12-14 hours.
Soft
The software basis of this smart phone is the OS from "Google" - "Android". In this case, we are talking about its slightly outdated modification - 4.2. The usual set of utilities from Google is not in the boxed version of this smartphone. They will have to be installed from the Play Store. Instead, there is a set of similar applications from Yandex. Otherwise, the kit is familiar - standard programs (calculator, calendar, etc.) and social services. In the latter case, we are talking about Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. But their domestic counterparts will have to be installed from the previously mentioned Play-market.
Interface Kit
The Expo Vega smartphone boasts a good set of communications. Reviews speak of support for the most commonways of transmitting information. Among them are the following:
- ZHPS/GLONASS module. Navigation is supported by two satellite systems at once. This allows you to use your smartphone as a full-fledged navigator.
- Wi-Fi is the perfect solution when you need to download an impressive amount of data from the global web to your smartphone.
- Bluetooth is good for sharing information with similar mobile devices in a small amount.
- MicroUSB port allows you to connect to a computer. It also charges the battery.
- 3.5mm jack allows you to output audio from this smartphone to an external speaker system.
The opinion of the owners of this smart phone and experts
"Explay Vega" turned out to be a fairly balanced phone. Its disadvantages are a small amount of RAM and a relatively weak camera. But these disadvantages are offset by the price, which today is about 5,000 rubles. Therefore, he simply has no competitors today. Both experts and satisfied gadget owners agree on this.
Result
Excellent entry-level smartphone is the "Explay Vega". Reviews about him once again convince of this. It is difficult to find a device with a diagonal of 4.7 inches, a quad-core processor and a cost of about 5,000 rubles. This is an ideal solution for those cases when you need an inexpensive, but productive and functional device.
