Fly IQ4403 Energie 3: reviews, specifications and other important information about this budget class smartphone is given as part of this review. All this will allow you to decide how it meets your needs. The cost of this device is just over 5000 rubles. Such a price makes it affordable for almost everyone. But this is only one side of the coin.
It is imperative to take into account the technical characteristics and the software component, which will be done within the framework of this review. After all, you need to buy a device, not only based on the price, but also taking into account its capabilities. In solving this issue, the proposed article should definitely help.
About smartphone
Fly IQ4403 sales started in the second half of 2013. For the price, this device was positioned as an entry-level smartphone. It has supportthe most frequently used functions and applications (radio, music, movies and simple games). But phenomenal performance, a large screen diagonal or many installed gigabytes of memory should not be expected from it. But at the same time there are nuances that distinguish it from the background of similar mobile phones. The situation is similar with disadvantages. We couldn't do without them either. But their democratic price, in fact, levels out. To this it is worth adding the initial positioning of the device by the manufacturer itself - this is a budget-level smartphone. There are those tasks for which the phone is adapted, and it simply copes with them perfectly.
Processor
The heart of the Fly IQ4403 is the MediaTek CPU model 6572. Its clock speed is 1.3 GHz. It is made according to the 32 nm technological process and in this regard is not inferior even to the flagship solutions of other manufacturers. All AWP architecture CPUs are made with such technological standards. It consists of two cores based on the Cortex A7 architecture. That is, in the processor line of this manufacturer, it will be less productive than 6577 (2 cores on Cortex A9) and 6582 (4 cores on Cortex A7). For most modern tasks, its resources will be enough. But if after 1-1, 5 years you want to play some serious game, then it will not be enough. Already now there are games that the Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 CPU cannot handle. Feedback from its owners is additional confirmation of this. For movies, music, navigation and Skype chatting its performancewill be quite enough. Moreover, the situation in this regard will definitely not change in the foreseeable future.
Graphics adapter
Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 phone has a graphic system, which is implemented on the Mali model 400 MP adapter. It should be noted right away that, just like from the processor, phenomenal results cannot be expected from it. Its resources will be enough for movies, simple games, music, browsing the Internet and reading books. But in the case when you need to run a resource-intensive application on this smartphone, its capabilities may not be enough.
Graphics system
The review will be incomplete if you lose sight of the rest of the components of the graphics subsystem. The screen size of this device is 4.5 inches. That is, it is easily placed in the hand, but at the same time the ability to control with the thumb of this hand remains. The screen resolution is 864 pixels in height by 480 pixels in width, while their density is 240 DPI. According to this indicator, the Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 phone is ahead of its main competitors, which have a worse indicator. But the type of matrix used in this model leaves much to be desired. In this case, it is TFT, which is both morally and physically obsolete. Therefore, large viewing angles and high-quality images on its screen should not be expected. Another important point. This device can simultaneously process five touches - another plus in comparison with analogues, which in most cases support only two touches.
Camera
Only one camera is present in the Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 smartphone. The manual indicates that it is based on 5 megapixels. It lacks autofocus. Additionally, LED lighting is installed. But still, getting an excellent picture with it in the dark will definitely not work. It is possible to record HD video with a resolution of 1280 pixels in height by 720 pixels in width. A digital zoom is also implemented. In the device itself, several modes of operation of this camera are programmatically implemented. This is a big plus of Fly IQ4403 Energie 3. The manual indicates the presence of the following modes: auto, night, sports, landscape, portrait. There is no front camera in this gadget. Therefore, it will not be possible to fully communicate, for example, in Skype or Mail.ru agent. The maximum that can be achieved is that the interlocutor will see you, but you will not see him, or vice versa. As a result, to communicate via Skype using a smartphone, you will have to buy a more expensive device that has two cameras installed at once.
RAM
RAM is the weak side of Fly IQ4403 Energie 3. Reviews only confirm this. In total, this device has 512 MB or 0.5 GB of the DDR3 standard. Now this is really not enough for the full operation of many applications. The situation will be even worse if you try to start them immediately at about 10. Then the smartphone will simply start to “slow down”. But it's not all bad on this sideFly IQ4403 Energie 3. Setting it up in a special way and installing additional applications (for example, "Wedge Master") allows you to easily solve this problem. But still, the owners of this gadget will have to monitor the amount of free RAM more often than if it had 1 GB of RAM integrated on it. But this shortcoming follows again from the installed MTK 6572 central processor, which is not capable of addressing more than 512 MB, which means that it is impossible to put more in such a system.
Internal memory and expandability
The built-in memory in this smartphone, as in other models based on the MTK 6572, is only 4 GB. At the same time, the user is allocated 2 GB for his needs, and 800 MB is provided for installing applications. The rest of this resource is occupied by the operating system. With a reasonable approach, this will be enough to solve most problems in the next two years. But the characteristics of Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 will not be complete without taking into account one more important factor. It has a slot for microSD memory cards up to 32 GB. This is quite enough to store a lot of movies, music and other important information on your smartphone. It is only important to save them on this drive, and not in the internal memory of the IQ4403. To fulfill this condition, you need to correctly configure the smartphone settings.
Battery
The Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 battery has a capacity of 4000 milliamp/hours. It will be enough for 2 days of active use. But with maximum energy saving, the capacity is enough for9 days. So, according to this parameter, this smartphone in its class is one of the best, if not the best. Not every more expensive device can boast of such autonomy, not to mention the segment of budget solutions, where savings are felt in every detail. Therefore, if this characteristic is very important for you, then you can safely opt for the IQ4403, and it will fully meet your expectations.
Acoustics
IQ4403 has only one speaker to output sound signals. The sound quality is not the best. Periodically, the appearance of noise and "wheezing" is possible. But at the same time, its volume is at an acceptable level. Therefore, the probability of missing an important phone call or SMS is reduced to zero. So here Energie 3 is not so bad in terms of sound quality, as it might seem at first glance.
Communications
A fairly large set of communications is implemented in this device. First of all, it is worth noting Wi-Fi, the speed of which can reach a decent 150 Mbps. At this speed, a high-quality movie will be loaded in a matter of minutes. Bluetooth version 4.0 is also present. To organize navigation, a ZHPS transmitter is installed. It will allow you to determine your location anywhere in the world. It can be connected to a computer using the Fly Energie 3 IQ4403 USB cable. This does not require a driver. It is enough to select the desired mode on the smartphone screen, and the PC will independently find the necessary software and install it itself. The supported USB version in this case is 2.0. To connect an external speaker system, a standard 3.5 mm audio jack is provided, which is brought out to the bottom of the smartphone. It is located next to the microphone. Not a very convenient solution, since it is with this part that most subscribers put their smartphone into a case. If this is done carelessly, then you can break the stereo headset connected to the device. To install SIM cards, it has two slots of a standard size (it is also called Microsim). The first of them, among other things, allows you to work in networks of the 3J standard. That is, it is possible to transfer data at speeds up to 3.15 Mbps. This will be quite enough for comfortable work on the Internet, and you can even make video calls. But the lack of a front camera negatively affects this possibility. Either you will see the interlocutor, or he will see you. The second slot works only in 2G format, and the speed is much lower here. The maximum is several hundred kilobytes, at which web resources will open for quite a long time. Therefore, when installing SIM cards, this nuance must be taken into account without fail.
Case
This device is available in two colors. The first one is Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 black. Black is the official color. This design is more male-oriented. In addition, dirt is not so noticeable on black. But the second color version is Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 white. In this form, the weaker half of humanity will like it more. At the same time, do not forget that whiteWell, it just attracts dirt. But given how neat women and girls are, they should have no problems with this. The front part of Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 black or white is made of ordinary plastic. Such a coating cannot boast of high resistance to the appearance of possible pollution. As a result, in this case, you simply cannot do without a protective film. At the same time, the appearance of the model is very similar to the 4th generation of smartphones from Apple. At the top of the smartphone are light and proximity sensors. To organize control, three buttons are displayed on the front panel: “Back”, “Home” and “Menu”. The back of the smartphone is made of polymer plastic. Such a coating is resistant to mechanical damage and firmly held in the hand. That is, this phone does not seek to slip out of your hands. But at the same time, the back wall of such a smartphone simply attracts dirt and dust. This is more noticeable on white. A cover - a bumper made of rubber, will not be superfluous. The back panel also needs protection, and it will not work better than with its help. Here you can already feel the individuality from the Fly company, and this gadget cannot be confused with anything. Case dimensions 134.5 mm in height and 67 mm in width. At the same time, the weight of this device is 183 g. It seems to be a lot. But if you pay attention to the battery capacity, then everything falls into place. Thickness IQ4403 12.83mm. Too much, but this is not a flagship model from this manufacturer. So there is nothing wrong here either. These are classic sizes for devices with a diagonal of 4.5inches. On one side of the case there are two buttons that allow you to adjust the volume of the beep. On the other side, there is an on/off button. They all perform well. Feeling them with your finger is not difficult.
Performance
The given characteristics of Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 allow us to say with confidence that its resources will be enough for most everyday tasks of undemanding users. With making calls and receiving or sending SMS / MMS, he will do just fine. You can also surf the Internet without any problems. For these purposes, it has all the necessary modules installed: 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Watch videos (for these purposes it is best to install "Mix Player"), listen to music (WinAmp is recommended), read a book (you need "Ebook Reader" from Google Market), play simple, undemanding games - all this is possible with this smartphone. But serious and demanding applications will not work on it. And this must be taken into account at the stage of selection. Its computing power will be enough for the next two years. Then it will become just a dialer for two SIM cards with a large battery capacity. But the applications that previously ran on it and worked fine will still function. We can say that this is a smartphone "for now." And this needs to be understood.
Operating system
Android version 4.2.2 is installed as the base operating system in this smartphone. Its codename is JellyBean. This is not the latest version. But it is quite enough to solve most problems today. But not only one modification 4.2.2 is limited to the list of operating systems for Fly IQ4403 Energie 3. The firmware allows you to install more recent versions of Android. You can install both a proprietary operating system and third-party developers. In the latter case, the warranty is violated, and in the event of a malfunction, you will have to pay for repairs and maintenance. Therefore, with the installation of such software, you need to be more careful and study the reviews in detail in advance. And only if there are positive reviews, install it on a smartphone. Otherwise, you can disable the gadget completely, and then it will be problematic to repair it.
Program part
The operating system itself is installed in its pure form, without add-ons, on Fly Energie 3 IQ4403. Social networking applications are included in the basic configuration. First of all, these are Facebook, VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. In addition, a fairly large list of applications from the Russian search engine Yandex has been installed. This is both a browser and maps for navigation. For proper design, a fairly large set of colorful and bright wallpapers is installed on the device. Otherwise, pure "Android" version 4.2 with the code name "Jelly Bean" is installed on Fly IQ4403 Energie 3. Programs that are needed in the process of using the device can be obtained from Google Play. To do this, it is enough to register an account in this American search engine. Then we use the appropriate shortcut and go to the software supermarket. Download it and install it on your smartphone. Now about films. At 1080p they are difficult to reproduce. Perhaps even a slight slowdown. With lower resolution and quality, there are no problems at all. Everything moves smoothly and can be scrolled. To watch the video, it is recommended to install a player such as "Mix Player".
Package
The equipment of this smartphone is nothing special compared to similar devices. His box is black. In addition to the smartphone, there is a battery with a capacity of 4000 mA / h (this advantage of this device has already been noted), a warranty card and an instruction manual. In this regard, the Fly IQ4403 Energie 3 has a standard set. The accessories that come with this smartphone are as follows: a charger (sometimes called an adapter) with a detachable USB cable (it can still be used to connect to a personal computer, as well as most of the same devices) and budget headphones (you can’t expect phenomenal sound from them). The first of them does not make sense to change - it works, and that's enough. It is great for charging and connecting to a PC. But it is recommended to buy better headphones. Especially for those who love good sound. This will not completely solve the problem with the speaker system, but it will improve the sound. This accessory cuts low frequencies, and this is very hard on the ear.
Results

Reviews, specifications and specifications, the software component of this device - all this was the basis of our material. Given the cost of 5000 rubles, it turns out an excellent device for everyday use. It is not necessary to expect phenomenal performance and impeccable quality from it. But its hardware and software resources will be quite enough for watching movies, listening to music, games and other undemanding applications. And this suits most users.

An additional plus in this case is the ability to install two SIM cards in this smartphone. If you fall into the category of undemanding users, then you will really like this device. There is also another important point to be noted. The warranty period for Fly IQ4403 is two years. This offer is valid for all smartphones of this manufacturer. What also distinguishes it from other devices of this class.
