In a nutshell. Greetings, dear reader! In the previous article, we introduced you to the brand new flagship from the famous Russian brand BQ. Recall that the company introduced smartphones bq 5201 space and bq 5202 space lite. Last time we talked about the first model. Today it is time to discuss the younger model. Despite the fact that the smartphone received more modest characteristics, it still turned out to be very worthy. The novelty was announced in June this year. Already now, both models can be bought at a very reasonable and justified price. Speaking briefly about the smartphone, it is endowed with a decent "stuffing", it has the same as " big brother» there is a fingerprint scanner. The most interesting and pleasant thing is that the manufacturer did not deprive the younger model and endowed it with powerful battery. This approach is very pleasing, otherwise the so-called A-brands often equip their younger models with a battery with a lower capacity. Well, it's time to talk about the new...
Design. Smartphone bq 5202 space lite received exactly the same appearance like the older model. The design really pleases, everything is done "in the mind." The design is very different from previous models of this manufacturer. A very big step forward. It is worth mentioning the elements located on the body. Let's start with back cover. Above and below we see inserts, followed by antennas, they fit very harmoniously into the design of the smartphone. In the upper part there is an eye of the main camera, below it is a flash, a little lower is the manufacturer's logo, in the very lower part we see an external speaker grill, and a little higher is the name of the smartphone model. By the way, we note that the middle of the back cover is made of metal, only the edges are made of plastic. The body of the smartphone is not separable. The right end is reserved for the volume control key and the power / lock button. On the left side, we see only a slot for SIM cards and a microSD memory card. The bottom edge includes a micro-USB connector and a spoken microphone. On the top side we see a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The front panel is occupied by a chic screen covered with 2.5D glass. In the upper part there is a conversational speaker, a peephole front camera and several sensors. At the bottom there is only a mechanical "Home" key. It also acts as a fingerprint scanner. The device is controlled using touch keys when the device is turned on. What do you say, in my opinion, all the necessary bq 5202 received. The thickness of the device is 9.1 mm and weighs 162 grams. You can buy a smartphone in three colors - black, gold and Space Grey. True, at the time of this writing, the smartphone is available only in the last two colors. Black color, obviously, will go on sale a little later. The delivery set is no different from the flagship version and includes: the smartphone itself, Charger, usb cable, brief user manual with warranty card. Unfortunately, no headphones are included. But there is nothing wrong with that, and in the meantime we are moving on ...
Screen. The bq 5202 smartphone received a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. Produced display technology IPS. The screen is protected by 2.5D glass. I must say, the display has an excellent, instant response. Not to mention the excellent image quality. Bright and rich colors, excellent viewing angles. And most importantly, the diagonal is well chosen. Smartphone definitely can not be called a "shovel". An excellent diagonal, suitable for any task.
Performance. Smartphone bq 5202 space lite received a 4-core Mediatek processor MT6737 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The Mali-T720 chip is responsible for the graphics here. Random access memory here 2 GB and 16 GB built-in. At the same time, the latter can be increased with a microSD memory card up to 128 GB. The device runs on the fresh Android 7.0 Nougat OS. From the above, it can be seen that the filling of the smartphone is simpler, unlike the flagship version. But at the same time, we can definitely say that the smartphone works smartly with such characteristics.
Wireless modules. The smartphone has everything you need for communication: 3G, LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0. VoLTE technology is also present, which is responsible for better voice communication.
Cameras. The bq 5202 space lite smartphone received a 13 megapixel main camera with autofocus and flash and an 8 megapixel front camera. Thanks to such cameras, the user can always take a great picture or a high-quality selfie.
Battery. We got to the last parameter that needs to be said. The battery capacity of the bq 5202 is 4000 mAh. That is, exactly the same as the older model. In my opinion, a very decent battery. Of course, we need to look at the results, not the numbers. But do not forget that everything will still depend on the tasks performed and their duration.
Let's summarize. Well, we talked about a "lighter" version of the flagship smartphone bq 5201 space. The simplified model is called bq 5202 space lite. The manufacturer turned out to be a wonderful mid-range smartphone, with decent characteristics that will be enough for most users. And most importantly, the price of a smartphone at the start of sales is 8,990 rubles.
Chinese smartphones from the budget category are steadily expanding their presence in the market, conquering buyers with a low price, and it seemed that worthy competitors cannot be found for them. But model 5201 Space from Russian company BQ clearly refutes this. And even if the brand itself of this company is not promoted, its phones definitely deserve attention. There are two good reasons for this: excellent technical performance and user experience that proves that smartphones are ready to work long and reliably. Well, you can’t ignore the price of the product - absolutely everyone can afford it, which immediately increases interest in 5201 Space in Russia.
Today we will tell you not about the flagship 5201, but about its even more interesting simplified variation. Its main trump card is its low price. If for the basic version it reaches 15 thousand rubles, then for light it does not even reach 10 thousand. In order not to confuse consumers with extensive model range, the manufacturer came up with a very similar name for the "youngest" smartphone - BQ Mobile BQ 5202 Space Lite. Let's take a look at its pros and cons.
Design
The screen of the smartphone seems to be stretched to the sides to the brim, and the plastic on the front panel bends to the edges, due to which it is possible to create a feeling of a 2D effect. The standard package includes the phone itself, a charger for it, as well as a needle for working with a SIM card tray. All three function buttons are placed on the right side of the smartphone, and on the left there is a SIM card tray. At the top end there is a headphone jack, and at the bottom there is a traditional place for connecting charging and a microphone. In a word, everything is standard and there are no “highlights” observed. It is quite logical in the case of a budget smartphone.
Specifications
The main difference from the version of the smartphone 5201 lies precisely in technical indicators. The easiest way is to compare them directly - 16 GB of internal memory versus 32 GB, 2 GB of RAM versus 3 GB or less powerful processor. In Antutu 5202, it gives out more than 30 thousand "parrots", and therefore some not very complex games will go here without slowing down. Fans of tank battles on mobile devices, of course, the gadget is unlikely to fit, but this is not the same segment at all.
The main thing is that the manufacturer did not reduce the battery size and screen size. The battery here has a space 4000 mAh, and the screen diagonal is 5.2 inches, which allows you to comfortably read from your smartphone or watch videos. Permission Full screen HD guarantees high quality images.
The main camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels versus 16 megapixels for the basic version 5201. As we know, the happiness of the photographer is not in these numbers, but in the installed software. So, it is identical in both phones. So there is no point in paying more for 5201 if your goal is to purchase a mobile device for taking pictures.
conclusions
In the price segment up to 10 thousand Russian rubles, the BQ 5202 lite has no competitors at all. Even the Chinese, famous for their ability to offer inadequately low prices, are inferior to this Russian smartphone. If you manage to find an alternative at a lower price, then either the battery is weaker, or the diagonal and screen resolution are worse. Without loss in quality, reducing the price is already unrealistic.
Another important advantage of the model should be considered that it is sold on reputable trading floors both online and in physical stores. Therefore, you can count on receiving a competent professional service in case of any questions or problems during the operation of the phone. Any competitors in price segment this is not the case, and their smartphones are sold in unreliable and almost shady outlets.
There are no tangible and at least some significant shortcomings in the model. Therefore, we boldly recommend it for purchase to anyone who is interested in getting an inexpensive, but reliable smartphone with decent features.
