I want to say thank you to the esteemed Helpix editors and express special thanks to Georgy Kiselev for taking the time to check my "careless" attempts to write a review !!! For the chance that others don't give...
How long have you had this device?
About a month.
Do you use it until now? If not, why did you break up with him?
I use and will use until the battery runs out of its resource.
How did you get this device? By what criteria was it chosen? Where and how much was bought?
I did not consider buying a new phone, since I was completely satisfied with my old, faithful SonyEricsson Hazel button slider as the main phone and really Die Hard! He is almost 3 years old, the battery holds up to 3 days, there is not a single scratch on the screen, it looks like new, except for back cover. Covered with carbon fiber.
Somehow I went to the MTS communication salon just to look and "twist" in my hands the advertised Nokia Lumia 1020 with a 41 megapixel camera. The camera is great, of course. Naturally, I paid attention to the Sony line, as I was convinced of the quality in my own experience. Sony Ericsson. Smartphone Sony Xperia C 2305 immediately attracted my attention with its appearance and price. Since the previous phone was a push-button slider, I didn’t have any experience with a smartphone, and even with a touch screen, so that they wouldn’t laugh at me (it’s 2014 in the yard), I completely entrusted the demonstration of the phone to the salon consultant. And "a fish caught on a hook." I immediately liked everything about this smartphone. Therefore, after leaving the salon, I rushed home faster, where my husband and I went to the website to read reviews about this smartphone. Based on the selection criteria, we could not compare this model with a similar one in terms of quality, functionality and price. Everything I needed was in this smartphone:
1. Capacious battery. The phone will be actively used in terms of calls, Internet, e-mail, cameras.
2. Support for 2 SIM cards. Tired of using two phones.
3. Ability to view letters and documents from e-mail.
4. good camera. Mainly for shooting documents, price tags.
5. High-quality sound of the speaker. I love music very much.
6. Ability to record telephone conversation during a conversation. Since I spend most of my time on the road, driving, when I receive orders from customers, I record their requests on a voice recorder (naturally, warning about the recording of the conversation). It's very convenient, you don't have to constantly stop and write down orders in a notebook, and upon arrival at the office, I simply rewrite orders or send them via MMS to the office manager for processing. This was possible in my old SonyEricsson Hazel phone, but my husband does not have such an opportunity in the HTC Explorer smartphone. For the record, he downloaded an application that only works with the speakerphone, which is not very convenient.
Two days later, having sacrificed the family budget, I became the owner of a white Sony Xperia C 2305 smartphone, bought in an MTS communication salon for 11,990 rubles.
What do you like? Strengths, dignity.
- Appearance
Very nice design and impeccable build quality. My chosen one is white, the case is made of plastic. The back cover is pearlescent.
On the sides around the entire perimeter, metal inserts-plates. Convenient location of the power/lock, volume and camera buttons, as well as connectors (power/sync on the left, for the headset on top). Connectors, however, without plugs.
I want to note right away that the phone fits perfectly in my female hand, and I successfully reach all the keys, buttons displayed and touch on the screen with one hand. Earlier than me touch phones scared, and now that I got one, I felt how convenient it is! And don't miss the buttons!
The microphone, earpiece and music speaker, which is located at the back, are protected by a mesh. Above the screen on the right upper corner presented front-camera, light sensor.
Below the screen is a notification indicator, which does not work when STAMINA mode is enabled. I will write about the mode later. No matter how trite it may sound, but once in 2004 I had a Siemens M55 phone. When he received a call, missed calls and SMS, there was a red light indication on the sides. Therefore, the presence of the indicator in the smartphone is very pleased!
- Package
Upon purchase, the phone was packed in an ordinary colorful box, on the front side there is an image of the phone in white, and on the back side there are phones in three colors: black, purple and white. Plug included charger, USB-cable for charging and synchronization, wired stereo headset without clothespin, launch manual in 2 copies in Russian and foreign languages, warranty card.
There is no user manual, but you can download it from the official website directly to your phone, and I advise you to read it right away, there are a lot of interesting things written there.
You can also read the guide on how to open the phone cover. It was difficult for me to open it for the first time, there are no visible holes to catch on. But once you get the hang of it, it opens easily. How I open - watch the video:
Under the cover of the phone is a non-removable battery, two slots for micro-SIM-cards and a slot for a flash drive. I was immediately cut off in the salon with ordinary SIMs under micro for 90 rubles each.
Additionally, I purchased a 32 GB class 10 microSD memory card and a black flip case.
- Battery
2390 mAh battery, non-removable. From the first days of purchase, I used the phone to its full potential to discover all the possibilities of the device. Charging the phone is enough for two days of the phone in intensive mode. At the same time, Wi-Fi was always on (if at home) or Mobile Internet(if at work), downloaded various applications, took photos and videos, sent MMS, and at the same time called and answered calls. Three weeks later, the battery charge was enough for two and a half days. During these days I used only calls, SMS, Wi-Fi, photos, listened to music for about 2 hours a day, downloaded 5 songs and watched a cartoon lasting 25 minutes, set up DLNA. I think this is a good indicator for the battery, given that 2 SIM cards and a 5-inch screen are active. Almost 50% of the battery is occupied by communication with the network, so I turn on Flight mode at night.
I want to offer some tips on how to extend the life of the battery. (My old Hazel still holds a charge for up to 3 days with active use.) The most important thing is to charge correctly. Wait until the charge remains about 5%. Charge your phone fully. Avoid using your phone while charging. Try to use for calls old phone(in the first three cycles). Wait until fully charged. Then you use your phone until the next 5% battery drain. Avoid charging your phone or connecting it to a computer via a USB cable. And so three periods of discharge-charging. Yes, this is difficult to do when you have a brand new phone, but believe that your patience will be justified in the future with a good battery life of the phone!
In this phone, I turned on the STAMINA mode. The principle of operation of the mode is that when the screen is off, mobile data transmission and Wi-Fi are turned off. You can add applications that will become active in standby mode when the mode is turned on. Turned on power saving mode. If the battery level is below 30%, this mode turns on automatically and energy-saving settings take effect, which can also be adjusted.
If I'm not using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile internet, or one of the SIM cards, I turn them off. At night, I already wrote, I start the Flight mode. All disable-enable settings can be displayed on the desktop for quick access (except for disabling the SIM card). For a SIM card in the first slot, I chose the preferred GSM network, and if you need mobile Internet, then I turn on 3G. Installed manual mode synchronization in applications used to synchronize email, calendar, and contacts. The screen brightness is set to "adjust according to the light", because in the sun when the brightness is reduced, the data on the screen is hard to see.
- Screen and camera
TFT screen, 5-inch with 4-touch multi-touch with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. The screen has great viewing angles and rich colors. I really like it, everything is bright and colorful!
In the bright sun, you can't see well, but it's legible if, as I already wrote, you set "adjust according to the illumination."
Frontal digital camera 0.3 MP with VGA resolution can be used exclusively for Skype. The main one is 8 megapixels with a highly sensitive Exmor RS sensor, as written in the instructions. It is also said that, thanks to this sensor, it can shoot clear photos and videos even in low light conditions. As for the photo, such clear pictures can only be obtained during daylight hours. I even called Sony Mobile support. They advised doing a factory reset and reinstalling the update. After that, it got better, but still, with poor lighting, the clarity of objects in the distance is not enough! Pictures are taken with a resolution of 3264x2448.
Photo in the afternoon:
Photo under artificial lighting:
In low light, everything is also bright and beautiful, but here the sharpness in places leaves much to be desired. And if the hand twitches, then everything is blurry.
Shooting in the evening:
And here at night:
Documents are captured clearly.
In general, who cares. As I already wrote, I have a camera, I don’t take pictures at night, so the Xperia C camera completely suits me.
There is a flash and autofocus, HDR support.
Normal photo without flash:
Photos with HDR enabled:
When this function is on, pictures are brighter. It's still not clear to me what this feature is good for.
You can select the main camera, front camera, video camera or front video camera, graphic effect, shooting conditions. There are functions of recognition of smiling faces (when you smile, the camera detects this and automatically takes a photo) and "self-portrait". A very handy feature for those who like to take pictures of themselves. The voice will tell you how best to get into the lens for a good photo. You can also choose "two" and "two side by side". And if you turn on the face retouching mode, then in general you will look perfect in the photo (without pimples and wrinkles), then you won’t have to photoshop! On one of the test shots, the camera retouched my eyebrows and part of my bangs. And for the most part, it does well.
After taking a photo, you can edit it: crop it, put it in a frame, change the background, put a mark, sign it with printed text, and even draw or write something on it with your own hand!
Videos can be shot at FullHD 1920x1080 resolution. Then you can watch it on your TV in HD resolution. There are no delays or changes in sharpness (see video). You can select night mode and backlight, turn on the image stabilizer.
While recording a video, you can take pictures with the main and front cameras. The main camera is limited to 2 megapixels.
Sample video and photo while shooting video:
Video recording audio is average. You can also choose where to save photos and videos.
Video examples:
- Music and sound
The sound, thanks to the Walkman player, is excellent! Sound is clear and loud with bass (after firmware update). There are settings and additional sound enhancement technologies. But you can control them if the ClearAudio+ function is turned off. And if this function is enabled, then the sound setting will occur automatically. I want to note that when ClearAudio + and Clear Phase are turned off, but the xLOUD function is turned on, the sound of the external speaker and the sound of the call becomes much louder. The TrackID application allows you to identify a melody by sound by finding data via the Internet. To cut ringtones, I downloaded the free app Ringtone Slicer Beta. Saves the trimmed melody directly to a USB flash drive, the melody can be set to a call, a contact melody, an alarm clock. There is also an FM radio that works with a connected headset. Reception average. Additionally downloaded from Play Market free Internet PC radio application. I use it.
- Phone
Supports 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks. There is a Wi-Fi Direct mode, Bluetooth v 4.0, DLNA and USB (OTG), GPS / A-GPS - it works fine. Can be used as a navigator.
The phone supports two SIM cards. There is only one radio module, so there is only one conversation, the second SIM becomes inaccessible. There is a Dual Sim setting. Forwarding from one SIM to another is set to be always in touch. You can also set up call forwarding yourself in the call settings and to other SIMs, for example, in another phone. In the SIM card settings, you can set priorities separately for calls and for data transfer for each SIM. If you set calls and SMS from 1 SIM in the settings, then before each call the phone will not ask which SIM to call from, but will always call from the specified SIM. You can also set time priorities, for example, from 9 to 13 calls and SMS will be from 2 SIM, and data transfer from 1 SIM. Switching SIM is in the top panel, small and not convenient to use, so I brought the icon to the desktop.
3G will be only in the first slot, in the second only GPRS / EDGE. Therefore, it is best to insert a SIM into the first slot to work with the Internet. I set up the Internet on both slots to receive and send MMS. True, the automatic settings did not load, I had to configure it manually. Specialist hotline Sony Mobile helped. Phone 8-800-100-80-22.
Transferred contacts from the old phone via Bluetooth. Selected all contacts - transfer via Bluetooth. And Sony just imported a file with contacts. Each contact can be assigned a melody, a picture, assigned to a group, create a new group, send SMS. At the same time, melodies and pictures do not have to be moved to the phone's memory, everything is installed from a USB flash drive. Contacts are searched by both numbers and names. Contacts without phone numbers are displayed. An incoming call from a person can be rejected with an instant SMS message, such as "I'll call you back." The lock key can be configured to end a conversation. For me it's convenient.
A contact can be marked as a favorite and it will be displayed separately in the favorites.
You can also bring it to your desktop as a widget or shortcut.
SMS messages are displayed by conversations.
I chose an extended keyboard, where numbers and symbols are reflected.
Liked the feature voice dialing words. This is for those who do not like to write SMS - now you can slander them! If you dictate a sentence, and at the end you say "dot", then a dot is put. Sometimes, of course, instead of a dot, the word "dot" is written.
- Software and Performance
operating room Google system android version 4.2.2. MediaTek MT6589 processor, 4-core Cortex-A7 1.2GHz, has 1GB RAM and PowerVR SGX544MP graphics accelerator. Support for memory cards up to 32 GB.
The phone does not slow down. Music downloads instantly:
Watching a movie online:
I have not played serious games, only such:
There are seven desktops on the screen. Application icons on desktops can be added, selected and sorted to your taste, combined into created folders. You can remove shortcuts to unused applications from desktops. Applications can be moved to a flash drive (not all). Those applications that you do not need at all can be deleted in the settings. I clicked "uninstall updates". Of course, they didn’t completely disappear, the shortcuts remained, but the memory was freed up, and the shortcuts were placed in one created folder so as not to interfere. I want to note right away: if you do not want unused applications to be constantly updated, in Play settings Market, in auto-update, check the box "never". If there is an update of games and applications, the system will definitely warn you, and you yourself will be able to update only the applications or games you need.
You can choose a desktop background, set live wallpapers (however, they will drain the battery faster):
Applications can be downloaded immediately or later moved to an SD card.
Separately, there is a history of recently used applications and a menu of small applications. There is a voice recorder here and you can take a screenshot. Also, a screenshot (of course, you all know) can be made by simultaneously pressing and holding for 2 seconds. lock buttons and volume keys. Only one small application can be used on the main desktop.
Also, any free application you are interested in can be downloaded from the Play store. I would never have thought that at my age I would be able to download talking Tom, feed him, dress him, change the interior in the living room, bedroom and, in addition to all this, play the toys offered in the application to earn money for a beautiful skin, etc. Even the most funny.
The top line of the screen has a menu with quick access to switch SIM, sound / vibrate / no ring, enable / disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and settings. It also displays various alerts, downloads, etc. This menu appears when you drag down the curtain with one finger.
If you swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers, a curtain with the necessary tools will open.
What's not to like? Weaknesses, shortcomings.
I do not like the front camera, 0.3. On Skype, the picture is not of very good quality, they could have done 2 or at least 1.3. But if someone does not use Skype, then the front camera is not needed at all. Self-portraits are not bad obtained from the main camera using the "self-portrait" function.
Non-removable battery.
The battery discharge from 30% immediately drops to 15%. The new update didn't fix it. I will wait for the next one. But such a rapid drop occurs when Wi-Fi is on.
Quiet sound when recording video. While once again correcting my story, I discovered the reason for recording a quiet sound. It turns out that if you set the sound for the camera, multimedia and games to full in the settings, then the sound of the recording will be quite loud. But if you entered the game and made the sound quieter, then it will automatically change in the camera, and if you do not increase it, then the recording will be quiet.
In the phone book, contacts are displayed only with the name, there is not enough visibility of phone numbers.
Before updating the firmware to version 16.0.B.2.6, there were shortcomings that were fixed after the update:
- The proximity sensor worked constantly when you touch it on the screen. After the update, it only works when you call, or when you receive a call, when you bring the phone to your ear;
- melodies set for a call or contact crashed when the phone was rebooted or connected to a computer. The same thing happened with application icons installed on the desktop that were installed on a USB flash drive, they also disappeared. In order not to re-configure desktops, she transferred all applications to the device's memory. After the update, nothing is lost, downloaded applications are immediately saved to the USB flash drive;
- the sound in the headphones and the sound of the call was quiet. After the update the problem is solved. The volume has increased significantly!
I want to give you some advice right now. Immediately update your phone via computer using Sony apps PC companion. When you connect your phone via USB cable to your computer, your phone will immediately ask you to install PC Companion on your computer. If already installed, then click skip. Follow the wizard's instructions. Once the application is installed, the program will offer to update your phone. Also follow the prompts according to the instructions, just do not turn off the phone so as not to knock down the download and installation. I did not manage to update directly on the phone through the Update Center. When checking for new updates on the phone through the Update Center, it is reported that the device has already installed the latest system updates, but when connected to a computer, PC Companion immediately offered to update the phone. Important! Before updating, make sure that the battery charge is at least 50%!
Sony Xperia C is the company's first smartphone built on the MediaTek chipset, which offers no small screen, sufficient performance and support for two SIM-cards. This model was developed specifically for those users who want to get a modern Android smartphone model with good functionality, big screen, but at the same time, it did not cost much at all. Did the Japanese manage to create such a smartphone? I think yes, because the model immediately received recognition and interest from users. Now it's waiting for you SonyXperiac review, in which we will consider all the possibilities of the model.
Design and dimensions
Despite their status inexpensive smartphone appearance it is very good - OmniBalance design in its purest form, the phone does not look cheap, and the closest competitors should learn from the Japanese. The smartphone is made of plastic and assembled very well. The back cover is removable and does not have a flat surface, but with a slight bend. It is impossible to call the model small - 141.5 x 74.2 x 8.9 mm, with a weight of 153. The frames around the display are quite large, and the screen itself occupies 66% of the front panel. Above and below are “grills”, behind which are hidden a microphone and a speaker. Above the screen are sensors and a front camera, below it is a long LED indicator with a pleasant glow. Behind you will see the main speaker, camera lens with flash. A nice feature - there is a mechanical camera button. Xperia C entered the market in three colors: white, black and purple.
Smartphone display
What would be about Sony Xperia C C2305 review without mentioning its screen? A 5-inch TFT-matrix with a resolution of 960 × 540 pixels and a density of 220ppi is installed here. Of course, it is impossible to call the screen a reference one, but still it behaves well in everyday life. Of course, the viewing angles are not the best, and there is fading when viewing the display at an angle. The screen is also a bit lacking in brightness, but I don't think you'll notice it. The screen itself is not covered with glass, but with plastic, so it is better to use a film.
The smartphone is pre-installed with Android 4.2 with proprietary user interface Xperia Home, which is convenient and simple, not cluttered with unnecessary features. The model has the entire standard set of programs from Sony and additional useful utilities.
Hardware
The heart of the smartphone was the MediaTek MT6589 chipset - a processor for 4 Cortex-A7 cores at 1.2 GHz and PowerVR SGX544 video. This is complemented by 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory for data storage, which can be expanded using microSD memory cards. By the way, thanks to the use of a solution from Mediatek, users can choose where to install applications - in the phone's memory or on a memory card (). In performance tests, the Xperia C shows good results for its segment and in many cases they are comparable to the results of smartphones with Cortex-A9 cores. It is noteworthy that the video accelerator demonstrates excellent results at all, so there should be no problems with games. The interface also works smoothly and without brakes.
The battery in the Sony Xperia C has a capacity of 2390 mAh and this is more than enough for the smartphone to work on a single charge for a couple of days for sure. Sufficient autonomy contributes to the good optimization of the chipset and software, as well as the low resolution of the display.
Note again that this Dual SIM smartphone, which means you can use several cards at the same time different operators- convenient for business people. One slot is for 3G.
camera inSony Xperia C
The smartphone is equipped with two cameras. Front - VGA-camera (0.3 Megapixels) with the possibility of using the application for retouching and improving the quality, I think there is nothing more to add here. The main camera is 8 megapixels with one LED flash, the camera application contains all the necessary options and features, and it is worth noting that its interface is somewhat different from models with the Snapdragon chipset - there is no application button for the camera. In general, there is all the necessary functionality and modes to make a good shot.
As for the quality of photos, it is very, very decent for such a module! Color reproduction is realistic and pleasing, white balance is correct in most cases, clarity and detail are excellent - it's safe to say that most users will be absolutely satisfied with the camera and photo quality.
As for video, the camera can record Full HD 1080p videos at up to 30fps. The quality of the video also pleased - all the details are visible, although perhaps there is a little lack of stabilization, and yet here you can also applaud. Below is an example video:

The back cover was deformed, gaps appeared, stickers on the sides peeled off. The battery has to be charged in two stages: from the beginning to about 67 percent and the charging is turned off, pull it out and insert it again, and only after that up to 100. Previously, after turning it off and on, the icons disappeared, after updating the software, the icons stopped disappearing, now the wallpaper flies off. The dialer for working with 2 SIM cards is inconvenient, I had to download a paid one. Memory is full of unnecessary programs which cannot be removed. and the organization of work with memory is generally disgusting.
IN modern world all kinds of high-tech devices are updated amazingly often. This trend is typical for the Japanese company Sony. In particular, a few months ago, another novelty from this manufacturer appeared on the domestic market. It was the smartphone C2305. Being not a very complex device from a technical point of view, it fully meets the requirements of modern consumers and, at the same time, has a relatively low cost.
general description
The model is made of durable plastic. Only the on/off button and the camera rim are made of metal. The user can choose from phones of black, white and purple colors, which has already become a characteristic feature for the line called Xperia C. The developers covered the front panel protective glass. It has a five-inch touch screen, a microphone, a speaker, and the left side of the Sony C2305 has been equipped with convenient buttons for activating the camera and power. On the opposite end there is only a microUSB port. The hole for connecting the cord is located at the bottom. The back of the device has a slightly concave shape. Here is the speaker, main camera and auto focus illumination.
In general, there are no unnecessary elements in the design of the novelty. The size of the model is 141.5x74.15 mm in height and width, respectively. At the same time, its thickness is only 8.88 mm, which is a pretty good indicator, which many users pay attention to.
Ergonomics
Stylish and at the same time elegant appearance makes the Sony C2305 more attractive. Reviews of the owners of the device indicate that it is very comfortable in the hand. Moreover, thanks to the matte surface of the back cover and rounded corners, the phone does not slip out of your hands even during a long conversation. Quite an interesting design decision, giving the device neatness and elegance, many users call the side faces made of glossy plastic. We should also note the fact that a new design has been applied to the body of the model, thanks to which the back cover does not seem to exist. Because of this, opening a smartphone is not so easy.
Connection
Phone C2305 supports two SIM cards, switching between them is convenient and fast. In addition, when talking on one of them, the second is automatically turned off. The device supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, and navigation is carried out through the A-GPS system. As practice shows, reliable communication and fast exchange with paired devices works without failures wireless technologies. The basic modification programs include the Google Talk application, with which you can send messages to the chat.
Display
As noted above, the model has a five-inch touchscreen monitor. Its resolution is 960x540. It is impossible to call such an indicator impressive, so there can be no question of ideal image quality - small details and fonts do not look quite even. Additional glass of the second generation Schott provides good protection for the device from various external influences. The sensor is able to recognize up to five touches simultaneously, and its sensors quickly respond even to light pressure. Switching between applications, menu options, zooming and scrolling are smooth and fast.
Camera
The eight-megapixel camera located on the back side can be safely called one of the main advantages Sony models C2305. Its review is quite extensive. At the same time, thanks to the use of an Exmor RS high-sensitivity sensor, excellent image quality is ensured even when better lighting. The camera has a number of various settings and modes, which allows you to take photos with amazing detail, brightness, color reproduction and clarity. Quite an interesting and unique feature was "Self-portrait". Its essence lies in the fact that you just need to point the camera lens at yourself, after which the device itself will take an excellent picture using voice prompts. Among other things, the focus system also boasts the presence of several modes. A separate button on the body will allow you to photograph objects even when the smartphone is locked.
Performance
The Sony C2305 model has a quad-core processor, clock frequency each of which is 1.2 GHz. In addition, a good speed of operation of the device is provided RAM 1 GB in size. All programs, regardless of their size, start and run without delay. As for stationary memory, its size is only 4 GB, but if necessary, you can install an additional microSD card. For web surfing, the device is just perfect.
Menu and controls
Like many other modern modifications, Sony smartphone C2305 functions in the operating room Android system 4.2 Jelly Bean. It should be noted that its interface is quite successfully adapted specifically for this device. The screen settings can be customized by the user. The menu provides access to the phone book, applications (standard and optional), message list, Internet browser and, of course, the application Google Play. Touch buttons controls designed to navigate between programs and return to homepage are located at the bottom of the monitor. As regards information regarding current state phone, including the signal quality of networks, wireless communication, current time, charge battery, as well as message notifications, it is displayed at the top.
autonomy
The Sony C2305 is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery with a capacity of 2390 mAh. Given the modest screen performance, which was discussed earlier, this volume is more than enough. A vivid confirmation of this can be called the fact that even with intensive use, the smartphone will be discharged only after a day. Moreover, the device has a special power-saving mode, which, when activated, automatically turns off all unnecessary applications that consume a lot of energy. This allows you to increase the operating time of the device by two to three times. In continuous talk mode, a full battery charge lasts approximately 10 hours, while in standby - 588 hours.
conclusions
Summing up, we should name the main advantages and disadvantages of the Sony C2305. The main advantages of the model, experts include a stylish look, a unique body design, an eight-megapixel camera, a processor and support for two SIM cards. Concerning weaknesses devices, then this is a small display resolution and the frequent appearance of glare on a glossy surface under bright lighting conditions. In general, for your price segment(in domestic stores you need to pay about 10 thousand rubles for a phone) the device can be safely called a pretty good choice. It is able to provide excellent communication quality and easily cope with a variety of tasks. Moreover, despite its relatively low cost, the phone differs quite powerful features corresponding to modern requirements for devices of this kind.
Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - device position sensor in space. As a main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled various functions device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures the angles of rotation relative to a fixed coordinate system. Able to measure rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices that use only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially when moving quickly. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor, thanks to which the optimal values of brightness and contrast are set for a given level of illumination. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to the face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing accidental pressing. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for orientation in the area.
Sensor atmospheric pressure
- sensor for accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location.
touch ID- Fingerprint identification sensor.

Satellite navigation:
GPS(Global Positioning System - global positioning system) - satellite system navigation that measures distance, time, speed and determines the location of objects anywhere on the Earth. The system was developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring the distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated from the signal propagation delay time from sending it by the satellite to receiving it by the GPS receiver antenna.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The principle of measurement is similar to the American system GPS navigation. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation and time support for ground, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronism) with the Earth's rotation, which provides them with greater stability.
