Explay has established itself as a manufacturer of inexpensive, but quite functional smartphones. For this reason, you should not expect the release of one of the gadgets in the tops. But this company has acquired one very attractive and special smartphone model. And her name is Explay Fresh.
New Explay Fresh gets good reviews from users. The reason for this is excellent performance, a very unusual innovative design and a fairly low cost. But let's look at this smartphone in more detail, and, focusing on user reviews, we will come to a general conclusion.
Appearance
In appearance, Explay Fresh, despite its low cost, can be easily attributed to smartphones in the middle price category. Yes, although the case is made of plastic, the weight of the gadget itself does not exceed 170 grams. Agree, this is a huge plus for a smartphone with a five-inch display.
The back panel is made of soft plastic with SoftToutch coating. It is removable and comes in seven different colors. Thanks to this plastic, the smartphone is easy to hold in your hand, while it is not covered with prints. Even afterlong-term wear in the pocket, the coating does not rub off and remains the same as when buying. Do not forget that plastic can protect the smartphone from small loads, but in case of a fall, damage is guaranteed.
There is another interesting feature that the Explay Fresh phone has. Reviews are simply enthusiastic about the possibility of replacing the SIM-card without the procedure of turning off the device and removing the battery. This also applies to a flash drive, which can be inserted in the same way.
As for the front of the smartphone, a large display with a diagonal of 5 inches immediately catches the eye. Above is the earpiece and camera for video calls. Below the display are the standard touch keys "Home", "Menu" and "Cancel". Hands to their location adapt quickly. It is worth noting the large bezel around the screen. Although it looks a little nondescript, visually increasing the smartphone, you can hold the device without worrying about accidentally touching the sensor.
The top edge is equipped with a microUSB socket for charging and synchronization with a PC, as well as a headphone output. On the opposite side from the bottom there is only a hole for the microphone.
The left edge has only a double volume control button, and the right edge has a power and lock button. As you can see, Explay Fresh doesn't have a lot of keys, but that's what makes it special.
Behind (top left) is the camera, near which the flash huddles. At the very bottom you can see a nondescript inscription of the manufacturer, and under it -call speaker grid Explay Fresh. Reviews of those who have already used this gadget about the volume and sound quality when calling are good. Everything is heard clearly and without unnecessary interference.
In general, the appearance of the smartphone received good marks. In the hand, it lies comfortably, nothing interferes, the function buttons are not accidentally pressed. About the appearance of Explay Fresh reviews are mostly good. The only remark is a certain angularity, but thanks to this quality, the smartphone is quite comfortable in the hand.

Display
As stated intechnical characteristics of Explay Fresh, it has a five-inch display, which is made on the basis of an IPS matrix. The screen resolution is decent, it is 1280x720 pixels. It is worth noting that not all mid-range gadgets have such indicators, not to mention the budget lines, which include Explay Fresh.
As for viewing angles, users have no complaints here. Everything is very beautiful, bright and contrasting. Due to the high resolution of the display, pixelation is almost imperceptible even at very close examination. The Explay Fresh smartphone receives very good reviews about the screen, and this is a huge plus for the company's reputation.
Performance
The smartphone in question is based on a powerful quad-core processor. Its energy efficiency has a positive effect on battery life.
Smartphone Explay Fresh receives negative reviews about RAM. This memory is only 1 GB. But still, this indicator is enough for the normal operation of most applications. Also not very happy with the amount of storage. But the available 4 GB can be easily expanded with a USB flash drive up to 32 GB. However, all these indicators are already very high for a budget device.
The smartphone runs on the well-known mobile operating system Android version 4.2. Immediately striking is the lack of standard applications for it. But there are many pre-installed programs from Yandex. User as a gift with purchaseadditionally receives bonuses from EA Games.
Cameras
Traditionally, the Explay Fresh smartphone has two cameras: front and main. The first has a matrix of 2 megapixels. Naturally, you should not expect any special results from the front camera, because it is intended only for video communication.
The main camera has a matrix of 8 megapixels. Additionally, there is autofocus and flash. After reviewing the photos taken with this camera, we can conclude that it is not inferior in terms of image quality to small digital cameras.
I would like to say that in addition to the display, Explay Fresh gets good reviews thanks to the camera. The only gripe - the speed of autofocus. But it is worth noting that everything here is simply gorgeous for a budget line.
Picking and packaging
The Explay Fresh phone has good reviews thanks to its packaging. It comes in a thick cardboard box with images of the smartphone itself, its name and specifications printed on it. The print is in color.
Opening the cover, you will see the smartphone itself, which is in a shockproof film. Next to it, in other hollows, there is a microUSB cable, an adapter, instructions for use and a warranty. In general, nothing more. Standard.
User reviews
Explay Fresh Black reviews, as already mentioned, are getting pretty good. For a budget smartphone, it turned out very good andfunctional. Particularly pleased with the display users. And this is understandable, because it has a decent resolution, which allows you to watch videos in HD quality without any problems. The main camera also did not let us down due to its natural color reproduction and excellent image quality.
The battery is quite powerful and allows you to use your smartphone at maximum settings without recharging for more than a day. This is achieved thanks to a perfectly balanced power consumption.
As for the negative sides, there are practically none. The lack of important applications in a sewn-in form is a little upsetting. But they can always be downloaded from the Internet. Explay Fresh black has negative reviews about the connection speed via Wi-Fi. It is not clear why, but when the smartphone connects to a wireless network, regular freezes begin. It seems like a trifle, but at the same time a little depressing.
