"Digma" is a fairly well-known brand on the Russian market, originally from China. Since 2005, the company has firmly established itself on the shelves of domestic stores - primarily with its e-books and tablets.
Recently, the brand has launched its own Digma smartphones. The characteristics of the gadgets did not differ much, because the devices were aimed at the budget and ultra-budget sectors. Despite such affordable price tags, the company's devices are considered to be of high quality, along with other competing models from China. Of course, they are far from their counterparts from Huawei or Xiaomi, but they are worth paying attention to.
So, we present to your attention a review of Digma smartphones - popular Linx C500 3G and Vox Flash 4G models. Consider the main characteristics of gadgets, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the feasibility of buying. User reviews of Digma smartphones and the opinions of experts in this field will be taken into account.
Digma Linx C500 3G
This model is distinguished by the most affordable price tag in the line and its reliabilitydesigns. Naturally, the low cost of the gadget implies some compromises, but the company still managed to release not only a cheap device, but also with a quality component.
Smartphone Digma Linx C500 3G received a classic design, but this only added to its elegance. There are no decorative elements on the body, with the exception of three original plastic strips stylized as metal. The layout of keys and other functionality can also be called standard.
The design of the gadget is non-separable, so the case has additional interfaces for working with SIM cards and external SD drives. Smartphone Digma Linx C500 3G weighs quite a bit - only 121 grams with a body size of 72 x 142 x 9 mm.
Screen
The device received the simplest IPS-matrix with a scan of 854 by 480 pixels. On a five-inch display, the picture does not look the best, and individual dots are visible to the naked eye. The honey here is a multi-touch system and a sensitive sensor, and a fly in the ointment is a faded and inexpressive picture that fades in the sun.
On this occasion, users leave entirely negative reviews about the Digma smartphone of the Linx C500 3G series. You can normally work with the display only indoors or in the evening, and in other cases you have to cover the screen with your hand to see the information.
Performance
Performance fell on the shoulders of the budget processor Spreadtrum SC7731, and the graphic part is responsiblea simple Mali chip of the 400 MP2 series. Judging by user reviews, the Digma Linx C500 3G smartphone has no problems with the interface: tables are scrolled quickly, applications open without obvious delays, and the browser does not stumble on the next page.
Troubles begin during the launch of games and other "heavy" programs. 512 MB of RAM is clearly not enough for modern applications. And if things are more or less tolerable with multimedia, then games do not load at all or terribly slow down.
Offline work time
The battery capacity of 1800 mAh is clearly not enough for the voracious Android platform. The instructions for the Digma Linx C500 3G smartphone say that the device lasts for 10-12 hours of active work, but in reality this is not the case. The maximum that you can count on is six hours in full load (games, video, Internet).
Worth taking?
Worth it if you need a phone, not an entertainment center. Yes, you can run simple toys and watch videos on this model, but you can’t count on something serious for 3,500 rubles. Reviews about the Digma Linx C500 3G smartphone are mostly positive (4 points on Yandex. Market), but more demanding users should pay attention to other models from the budget rather than the ultra-budget segment.
Digma Vox Flash 4G
This model is slightly more serious than the previous respondent, but there are also not enough stars from heaven. The designers managed to equip the device with a sensible "stuffing", while investingminimal funds. The device can be called one of the company's most successful experiments in the budget segment.
The device comes in a classic plastic monoblock. A lacquered strip runs along the perimeter, which gives the device a share of originality and solidity. The layout of the controls is standard for smartphones. One of the notable features of the gadget is the touch buttons, located not on the case itself, but on the screen, that is, this is already part of the interface.
As the official description of the Digma Vox Flash 4G smartphone says, the back cover received a soft-touch coating, but in fact we have matte plastic, albeit high-quality, and not the above-mentioned coating class. Nevertheless, the device lies well in the palm of your hand and does not strive to slip out of your hands. The dimensions of the gadget (71 x 143 x 8 mm) are quite comparable with its weight of 127 grams.
Screen
The smartphone received a very good IPS-matrix for the budget segment with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. On a five-inch screen, such a scan looks more than comfortable, and pixelation is invisible even upon close examination. Viewing angles also have a good indicator, so you can watch a video or flip through pictures in the company of one or two like-minded people without any problems.
The screen works comfortably on a multi-touch system and accepts up to five simultaneous touches. There is an automatic adjustment of brightness, contrast and color correction, and very sensible. It is also worth noting separatelythe presence of high-quality glass of class 2, 5D with slightly protruding edges. The last moment adds safety points, because when falling, depreciation is triggered, and the chances of saving the screen increase significantly.
Users in their responses have repeatedly noted the presence of competent protection and such a high-quality matrix in a budget device. So only positive feedback here.
Performance
As for performance, it is at the highest level for its price segment. The modern Mediatek processor of the MT6737 series works in tandem with the fast Mali-T720 graphics accelerator. The interface of the gadget can be called lightning-fast, as well as the multimedia component (video, radio, music).
The fly in the ointment here is the amount of RAM. 1 GB of RAM is clearly not enough for the normal operation of modern applications. Of course, games and other “heavy” programs will run on the device, but the quality of use will be far from comfortable. So in order to avoid subsidence in FPS and other lags, you will have to reset the graphic settings to a minimum.
Work offline
The device received a modest 2000 mAh battery for the existing set of chipsets. A powerful processor, coupled with a video accelerator, “eat” well, so the charge melts before our eyes during active work with the device.
With an ordinary load on the device (calls, messages, Internet, an hour of video), the battery lasts for a day, but by the evening the gadget will ask to be plugged in.
Worth taking?
Smartphone Vox Flash 4G turned out to be surprisingly attractive for its price category. Its cost, and this is about 5500 rubles, it beats back with interest. If you are not a fan of serious and “heavy” toys, then this smartphone will be an excellent and inexpensive option for everyday needs. In addition, reviews of the model on the trading floors are quite flattering and without critical remarks.
