Nice small or review Highscreen Alpha GT. Best positive feedback

Screen Type: IPS (in Plane Switching) is a high-quality liquid crystal matrix that was created to eliminate the main deficiencies of matrices on TN technology. The IPS matrix in all the spectrum most adequately transmits colors at different angles of view, with the exception of some positions also colors. The TN-matrix has the best response than IPS, but NE always. Thus, when moving from gray in gray, the IPS-matrix behaves better to the IPS matrix. Another majority is still resistant to pressing. Touching the TN- or VA matrix will bring to the "excitation" or a certain reaction on the screen. There is no such effect on IPS-Matrice. In addition, ophthalmologists confirm that the IPS matrix is \u200b\u200bmost comfortable for the eyes. Such * E * M * Actually, the IPS matrix brings a bright and sequential picture regardless of the corners of view, the best for work in the intersese, watching movies. But the most important thing is to process images and view photos. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - Liquid Crystal Displays. The most first displays used in the mobile devices, and not only in the phones. The main feature is that they have very low power consumption, due to the impossibility of displaying the color image. They do not emit light and therefore telephones upgrade lighting lamps. On some phones there were several different colors of the backlight based on the presence of different LEDs around the perimeter of the display. This extraordinary solution was used, admit, in the phone Ericsson A3618. On such a type of displays, pixels are clearly visible, and such displays can not boast such displays. In order to extend the life with such displays, they made them inversion, i.e. The text and symbols were displayed not filled with pixels, but, on the contrary, inactive against the background of filled. Thus, a bright text was obtained on a dark background. Currently, this type of displays is used in the cheapest budget models (Nokia 1112) and as an external in some "clamshells" (Samsung D830).

TFT (Thin Film Transistor) - Liquid-crystalline displays based on thin-film transistors with an active matrix. For each pixel, there are three transistors corresponding to three colors (RGB red, green, blue). At the moment, these are the most common displays with a number of advantages over other displays. They differ in minimal response time and rapid development - a constantly growing resolution and number of colors. The most common displays data in the middle class phones and above are the most common. Work permits for them: 128x160, 132x176, 176x208, 176x220, 240x320 and other, less common. Examples: Nokia N73 (240x320, 262 thousand colors), Sony Ericsson K750i (176x220, 262 thousand colors), Samsung D900 (240x320, 262 thousand colors). TFT is very rarely used as external display for clamshells.

CSTN (Color Super Twisted Nematic) - Colored liquid crystalline displays with a passive matrix. Each pixel of such a display consists of three combined pixels, which correspond to three colors (RGB). Some time ago, almost all phones with color displays were based, precisely, on such a type. And now the lot of such displays is budget models. The main minus of such displays is their slowness. The undoubted advantage of such displays is their cost, it is significantly lower than TFT. Based on simple logic, it can be assumed that in the future TFT will displacing such a type of displays from the mobile machine market. The evolution of chromaticity of such displays is quite extensive: from 16 to 65536 colors. Examples: Motorola V177 (128x160, 65 thousand colors), Sony Ericsson J100i (96x64, 65 thousand colors), Nokia 2310 (96x68, 65 thousand colors).

UFB (Ultra Fine and Bright) - liquid crystalline displays with increased brightness and contrast on the passive matrix. It can be said that this is an intermediate option between CSTN and TFT. This type of displays boasts lower power consumption compared to TFT. For the most part, such displays used Samsung in middle-class phones. This type of displays has not received widespread. Examples: samsung C100/110 (128x128, 65 thousand colors).

TN is one of the TFT screens matrix types. If rude, TN is the simplest and cheap TFT matrices. The viewing angles are the most narrow.

What did not like

The chamber led.
I broke it 2 times for the year. For the first time my bag fell, and not the phone, and in the second I dropped my mobile on the carpet.
The first time changed the screen. The second I just put it on the shelf and go to the "brick".
The chamber led.
For me a little heavy ...
And slows down.
After 7 months of use, the camera broke ...
Writes "Camera error."

Dust under the screen on the third day, in the service clean, but you will not go to them constantly for it. GPS dances, the service corrected it for three days, then began again. The native film without bubbles is not glued. In the Polaroid glasses, the screen is very dark in the horizontal orientation (important when used as a navigator in the machine). The illumination sensor is slightly unstable in electrical light.

The rear panel is not practical (tracks from the fingers remain easy) throw calls sometimes or from touching with the cheek or by itself, which is not allowed at all, because. It receives does not meet the goal of creating as a phone. Many applications are not supported in Play Market and Google Play. The device for some reason was not registered in them because of this to put a mail agent, the Viber is a good resolution camera, but there is no stabilizer and receives the meaning of its high resolution, because Photo often lubricated.

What did you like

Good: Catch 2 SIM cards without interruption, good display (big and bright) Camera battery (all day)

Since it has a smaller screen (both in size and permit), less productivity, although, of course, has the characteristics better than that of Highscreen budget devices. The novelty supports the operation of two SIM cards.

Highscreen Alpha GT is made in the form of a plastic monoblock, the front surface of which occupies a touchscreen display, under which the control buttons are located, and above it is the front camera and sensors. On the back of the device, the company's logo and a LED flash camera are located.

Alpha GT assembly is well completed: Lufts and screens are missing.

Dimensions of the device - 124x64x11.6 mm.

Performance and software

Highscreen Alpha GT is equipped with a 1-core MEDIATEK MTK6575 processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz, PowerVR SGX531 video accelerator, 1 GB operational and 4 GB of integrated memory. The device includes a microSDHC memory card with a volume of 8 GB. Of course, all these characteristics, and, accordingly, the performance is inferior to the more "senior" model Alpha GTR, but it is much more expensive.

The gadget also supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G network modules.

The ALPHA GT smartphone runs running the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and has pre-installed audio and video players, browser, email client.

Screen

Highscreen Alpha GT is equipped with a 4-inch sensory capacitive IPS display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels and color reproduction of 16 million shades. The picture on the screen looks very qualitatively: the colors are natural, bright. The IPS-matrix of the display made it possible to improve the characteristics, namely, the viewing angles became wider and the picture is much less faded in the sun compared to conventional TFT displays.

Camera

In the Highscreen Alpha GT smartphone, the same cameras are installed as in Alpha GTR, that is, an 8-megapixel main with LED flash and a 2-megapixel frontal for video links.

Battery

The smartphone is equipped with a 1900 mAh lithium-ion battery, which allows it to work up to 6-8 hours with intensive use of 3G networks, Wi-Fi and constantly on the screen.

Price

Highscreen Alpha GT cost - 8990 rubles. In our opinion, the price is fully justified for a smartphone with a high-quality display, relatively high performance, an 8-megapixel camera and support for two SIM cards.

General characteristics

A type

Decide with the type of device (phone or smartphone?) Quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to stop the choice on the phone. The smartphone is more expensive, but offers many diverse options: games, video, Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, his battery life is significantly less than that of a simple phone.

Almost all modern smartphones have Wi-Fi and USB interfaces. A little less thanks are Bluetooth and Irda. Wi-Fi is used to connect to the Internet. USB is used to connect the phone with a computer. Many phones also occur to Bluetooth. It is activated for connecting wireless headphones to connect the phone with wireless speakers, as well as to transfer files. The smartphone equipped with the IRDA interface can be used as a universal remote control. Slovar terms of the Mobile Phones category

Built-in GPS and GLONASS modules allow you to determine the coordinates of the phone by signals from satellites. In the absence of a GPS, a modern smartphone can determine its own location by signals from the base stations of the cellular operator. However, finding coordinates on signals from satellites is usually much more accurate. Slovar terms of the terms of mobile phones

Memory and processor

CPU

In modern phones and smartphones, special processors are commonly used - SOC (System On Chip, the system on the chip), in which, in addition to the processor itself, there is a graphic core, a memory controller, an I / O device controller, etc. Therefore, the processor defines a set of functions. and productivity of the device.

Introduction

The Russian company "Wobis Computer", which belongs to the Highscreen brand, announced two smartphones on the Android version 4.0 operating system. The devices are interesting because they have good technical characteristics for their not the highest prices.

The older model is called Highscreen Alpha GTR. In his arsenal, there is a 4.5-inch display diagonal, made using IPS technology, a dual-core processor, "gig" of RAM and two chambers - 8 MP and 2 MP (front). The younger model - Alpha GT, naturally, just weaker: 4 inches screen, but also IPS, single-core processor, 1 GB "RAM", 8 megapixel chambers and 2 megapixels.

According to the manufacturer, GTR and GT are not classic Chinese OEM devices, branded by Russian sellers, and fully original development. Those. With all the desire you will not find similar design and "iron" characteristics of smartphones. The devices will go on sale in the near future. The cost of the first will be 11,990 rubles, the second is 8,990 rubles.

Today's review is devoted to Highscreen Alpha GT. Since its closest rival is Explay Infinity, then in the text of the review we will compare both gadgets.

Design, dimensions, control elements

Although the manufacturer claims that the design of the device is unique, the appearance of Alpha GT, as it seems to me, is typically Chinese. For example, the device is very similar to Fly IQ240: exactly the same frame from the bottom, the same location of the microphone, the design of the upper end, and indeed one to one form and style of the case. In principle, it is not bad, but does not leave the feeling that almost all gadgets come out of one "boiler".

A part of the front panel and the fine edging are made of durable semi-convex plastic. The back cover is covered with "Soft-Toch" -Plastic, pleasant to the touch. Metal - only a small insert in the form of a triangle. It engraved the word "Highscreen". Such an inscription testifies only to the design of Alpha GT really put the hand of the company "Wobis Computer".

The assembly of the device is excellent. For a long time testing, the housing is not a flavor, did not creak, and even with a strong squeezing or twisting, it is not crunchy, but if you press the central area of \u200b\u200bthe back side - a weak click is heard. But, in general, everything is done enough "Dubovo" in the good sense of the word.

The case materials seemed to me quite strong enough, at least with active use did not appear, and no scratch remains on the screen (the display is most likely protected by a special glass). Traces of fingerprints remain more on the screen. Easy easily. They are not very noticeable on the "Soft Touch" -Plastics.

Alpha GT dimensions are the following - 124x63.5x11.6 mm. Frankly, the thickness of the device could be smaller: when you take it in my hands, then it clearly understand. The weight of the manufacturer does not indicate, but it is also rather big: it is subjectively weighting about 130 grams. For example, Explay Infinity weighs 119 grams, and the thickness is only 9.9 mm.

On the front panel there are two sensors: approximation and lighting. The first responds very quickly, and during the operation of the device of false disconnecting of the screen lock at the time of the call it was noticed. The second sensor correctly and smoothly adjusts the backlight brightness level. There are no complaints too. Next to them - the front camera intended for video calls. Just below - the LED indicator (shines red when charging the battery, blinks green when skipping various events).





Speech speaker loud, the interlocutor is heard clearly and picking up, the timbre is pleasant: the low, and the average frequencies are well auditioned. At maximum volume, it does not scroll and does not rattle.

The display contains sensory buttons, more suitable for Android OS version 2.3.x: "Search", "Back", "Menu" and "Home". Apparently, the initially smartphone was developed under Gingerbread. Buttons have very weak backlight, but in the afternoon it is clearly visible, because they are applied on the body of white translucent paint. The microphone is under the "search".

The microUSB connector without a plug - on the bottom, on the top - standard 3.5 mm audio output and thin key on / off the device. It is not entirely convenient to use it, as it is practically recessed into the housing, and it's hard to reach the fingers of one hand. On the left side - the thin and long key-rocker adjustment of the volume.



A camera module with a flash is located at the back, below - speaker speaker.

To reveal the lid, it must be hurry for the recess in the lower end. Left at the top of each other there are two slots for SIM-cards, and the MicroSD connector is right.




Highscreen Alpha GT and Explay Infinity

Highscreen Alpha GT and LG L5

Highscreen Alpha GT and SAMSUNG ACE II

Display

Highscreen Alpha GT uses a 4-inch diagonal display (physical size 52x87 mm), the resolution is 480x800 points, i.e. Standard for most smartphones located in the average price category. Proud device is a screen matrix. It is made using IPS-LCD technology. There are no devices to 9,000 rubles on the Russian market with a similar matrix. The touch layer, of course, capacitive type, exercises up to 5 simultaneous touches. However, it correctly recognizes only 3. The sensitivity of the sensor layer is excellent and comparable to the sensitivity of the displays in the top gadgets.

The brightness is slightly higher than the average, the image is faded in the sun, but the shadow shows quite well. The viewing angles are large, although under the slopes the brightness is still slightly falling. If you look at the display at a certain angle (slightly tilting and side), the image acquires a purple tint - typical "behavior" of IPS matrices. The color rendition is natural, but I would like more saturated colors, as, in my opinion, the picture looks somewhat pale. The difference is especially noticeable if compared with Superamoled Plus in Explay Infinity. Below are the displays matrices: LG Optimus 4X, Samsung Galaxy S III, Explay Infinity, Highscreen Alpha GT, Samsung Galaxy S I.

I think that there is nothing to comment on: in my opinion, the first place (oddly enough) can be given Explay Infinity, the second is Samsung Galaxy S III, the third - LG Optimus 4x. However, I repeat that this is a purely subjective opinion.

Highscreen Display Angles

Battery

Alpha GT uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with a capacity of 1900 mAh.


If you use the phone about 12-14 hours, the battery will be completely discharged, provided: 20-25 minutes of conversations per day, 3 hours of use of the Wi-Fi Internet (Twitter, Mail, downloading applications and their installation), about 5 hours of mobile Internet and couple of watch listening music.

You can listen to only music for 45 hours, watch only video (maximum screen brightness, high volume, movie resolution - HD 720p) - just under 6 hours. If you want to play toys (for example, in Dead Trigger), then the energy also does not have to save - the battery will only die after only 5 hours!

In general, one of the minuses of the Android OS is "voraciousness", but with a battery for 1900, it can be deleted, however, it will be necessary to sacrifice the thickness and weight of the device.

The kit is a powerful charger per 1,000 mA, so the battery is charged for 1.5 hours, and from USB approximately 4.

Communication capabilities

The phone works in 2G cellular networks (GSM / GPRS / EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (900/2100 MHz). In this case, one SIM card operates only in 2G, the other is 2G or in 3G. If mobile Internet is used, traffic is limited in the settings - a special "chip" Android 4.0.

In the "SIM Card Management" settings section, Simigs are set, their color, data transmission.

In stock Bluetooth version 2.1 (EDR / A2DP) for file transfer and speech. There is a Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 B / G / N wireless. The device, of course, can be involved as an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot) or modem. In the settings, this item is as "modem mode". There is a Wi-Fi Direct.

There was no problems with the connection, the sensitivity of Wi-Fi is high: for example, at a distance of 5 meters (behind the wall) from the router Highscreen confidently showed 3-4 "sticks".

USB 2.0 (High-Speed) is used to transfer files and synchronize data. When connected Alpha GT to the PC, it is defined as a USB-Flash device.

Memory and memory card

The smartphone is equipped with 1GB of RAM - it is very good, given that most competitors have "abnormalism" by 512 MB, including Explay Infinity. On average, 1 GB is free about 670 MB.

Despite the fact that in the specification, the volume of Flash memory is 4 GB, a little more than 2.5 GB is available. Expands the installation of a microSD card, the maximum volume of which can be 32 GB. By the way, in the kit you will find no less than 8 GB. Recently, manufacturers save and either do not at all in the "box" of a memory card, or 2 GB are separated.

Camera

The device was provided with two modules of the chambers: the main on 8 mp, frontal on 2 megapixel. There is a single-section flash. Maximum photo resolution - 3264x2448 pixels, video - 1280x720 pixels at 30 frames per second.

The quality of photos is quite difficult to evaluate, since the camera was, to put it mildly, inadequate. What I mean: sometimes the auto exposure improperly determined the brightness, and the objects were laid out; The HDR function was worked incorrectly - simply glued two identical photos into one, and with a significant shift; It happened so that after the guidance on the sharpness (at least, the green square appeared on the screen) it turned out that the focus point is not at all where it was assumed. It also did not like the fact that the minimum vending distance to the sharpness on the object was more than 20 cm.

Representatives of the Company argue that there are no problems in their devices listed. Perhaps, but I have no other test samples.

Alpha GT videos takes off with autofocus. The quality is not bad, the only complaint is a poor-quality sound recording: the impression is that the microphone overload is. EXPLAY INFINITY also behaved approximately. Partially "treated" by installing another video recording application, for example, LG Camera.

Front camera with Skype works.

Performance

Highscreen Alpha GT smartphone was equipped with a Taiwan MEDIATEK chipset - MT6575. Here is a single-core ARM Cortex A9 processor operating on a clock frequency of 1 GHz. As a graphical subsystem, PowerVR SGX 531 is supported by OpenGL ES 2.0, DirectX 10.1 with Shader Model 4.1.

Regarding the processor, the graphic system and impressions that caused the chipset - they are described in detail in the Explay test. In order not to repeat, I propose to read the Infinity Review Text.

Below is presented brief technical characteristic and performance tests:

QUADRANT STANDAR.

Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji


Navigation

In the smartphone there is a GPS navigator. In the settings you have the right to enable EPO mode (Extended Prediction Orbit) - one of the innovative branded A-GPS MediaTek brand technologies based on autonomous servers. It supports the prediction of satellite orbits for up to 30 days, they can be used to reduce GPS coordinate definition time. "Cold" start - about 4-5 minutes, "hot" - up to 15 seconds. To work with maps in the device, programs are installed: "Maps" and "Navigator".

Software platform

Highscreen Alpha GT smartphone is even cheaper Explay Infinity, however, the same topical version of Android is used here - Ice Cream Sandwich. Li Alpha GT to Android 4.1, is still unknown.

The GO Launcher Ex Loncher is installed as a user interface. You can read about it in more detail in our materials:

It is impossible to disable it, so I personally would prefer the "naked" Android, as I could install any UI as design, including GO Launcher.

Calls and posts

In Highscreen Alpha GT, as in all other smartphones on Android, only one radio module is used. During the call on one SIM, the other will be unavailable. The same applies to data transmission: if you download or return information, one of SIMON will be unavailable.

The dialer is large (to choose or standard "dialer" Android 4.0, or an application from "GO"). When dialing the numbers from above, those subscribers are displayed, the numbers of which begin with these numbers. In order to call one of the "sim cards", you must click on the "call" and select "SIM card". Instead of "SIM1" / "SIM2" you can set your name, for example, "Internet" or "calls", as well as set the color of the signal reception indicator background.

When you call the screen, the avatar is displayed on the entire screen and the panel: "Dialing", "Loud Communication", "Disable Sound", "Hold", "+ Call", "Call Record".

Everything else, including the "Messages" section, is familiar to Android devices on the version of Ice Cream Sandwich.

Multimedia

Music player. Standard music player, familiar to everyone on "naked" Android 4.0. Equalizer presets: normal, classic, dance, flat, folk, haw-metal and so on. The "own" five-band equalizer from 60 Hz to 14 kHz is configured. There are two sliders for selecting low frequencies and 3D effect. The sound quality in the headphones is not bad, but, as always, lacking low frequencies. Volume high.

The volume of the call dynamics is slightly higher than the average. With increasing load, it does not scroll. If Alpha GT is put back down (for example, on the table), the speaker is closed, so the volume drops by 50%. If it is close to your finger - the volume will decrease by 90%.

FM radio. The receiver works at frequencies of 87.5 - 107.8 MHz. RDS is supported, the ether is written in 3GPP format. Unlike Explay Infinity, headphones need to be connected to operating the radio.

Video player. There is no separate application in the phone, so the rollers will run through the gallery. However, recently, the need disappeared in this, as it is easier to install, for example, MX Video Player and play any video formats with various codecs. The resolution should not exceed 1280x960 pixels, bitrate - no more than 10 Mbps. But in order to avoid small rollers, it is best to watch standard DVDRip (720x480 pixels, bitrate up to 3 Mbps, sound - 2 or 6 channels).

Conclusion

The quality of communication did not cause complaints: the signal level is not bad even in difficult reception conditions. The vibrating alert has middle power and not only in the inner pockets.


Not so long ago we met with an excellent smartphone from Explay - Infinity, this time was the answer from Highscreen. It seems to me that the device was quite successful. Of course, there are small shortcomings, but in the price category up to 9,000 rubles Alpha GT - while the best option is. It has a high-quality IPS matrix, a capacious battery, a durable case and a good chamber (I think that all its "bugs" will be eliminated in the commercial sample).

Competitors at Alpha GT, I think that there is no: Fly Tech has a weak battery and a camera, an old version of Android, no second slot under SIM; LG Optimus L5 - Small screen resolution, simple matrix. Etc. In principle, everything I spoke in Explay is similar to Highscreen.

If you compare Explay Infinity and Highscreen Alpha GT, then on the side of the first - Superamoled Plus display matrix, slightly thinner case, not much, but better chamber; On the second side - less price, more RAM and capacious battery. The choice is quite simple: if you have 10,000 rubles, take Explay if money is missing - Highscreen.

Pluses Highscreen Alpha GT:

  • IPS-matrix
  • Clean battery
  • Quality assembly
  • Durable case materials
  • High speed
  • HD video shooting
  • Two slots floor SIM card
  • Android 4.0.
  • 8 GB memory card included
