Prestigio MultiPhone PAP3501 DUO - Specifications. Prestigio MultiPhone PAP3501 DUO - Specifications The main camera of a mobile device is usually located on the back of the case and is used for taking photos and videos

The Prestigio brand is quite famous in our market. Dedicated to manufacturing from accessories to DVRs, it has a pretty strong hold on the mobile market as well. It is quite difficult to win your share, so the main task is to release a variety of models of different price segments and purposes. V recent times we've seen a lot of long-lived smartphones. The problem of charging worries many users and if in the realities of megacities it is quite difficult to imagine a situation where charging a smartphone would be a problem, then for outdoor recreation, I personally want to take something simple and cheap, but capable of providing Internet access and standard smartphones. functions. The simplest model from Prestigio among the "chubby" smartphones is the MultiPhone 3501 DUO. The device combines big screen, good battery and an undemanding processor.

Video review

Design and equipment

The smartphone is housed in a brightly colored box. The package bundle is familiar to most models on the market: microUSB cable, power supply, manual, warranty card. However, some kind of case or case was expected from this brand, but, alas, it was not found. Still, I would like to see a brand in our open spaces that puts such things at once in the set of all models, without exception. Still, "prestige" should be manifested in everything.

The smartphone itself is cut simply. From budget segment no one would have thought of waiting for designer tricks. However, the device cannot be called terrible. Quite familiar smooth forms harmoniously fit into the rather large dimensions of the device. The front surface, with the exception of the slightly protruding edging, is covered with protective plastic. The material performed well, at least after testing it was not covered with a million scratches. The system control buttons are touch-sensitive: menu, home and back. As usual, the menu button is stylized for multitasking, which is caused by debt retention on it. In the locked state, the buttons have a visual design, and during operation they are indicated by not entirely uniform illumination. The microphone is hidden in the far right corner, so you will have to carefully monitor whether it is jammed, so as not to become "dumb" for your interlocutor at a certain moment. Above is located an elongated earpiece, as well as a peephole front camera by 0.3 megapixels.

On the back you can see a rather defiant embossed company logo. Below is a slot for perforation of the main speaker. It stands out from the crowd for its shiny mother-of-pearl base. Above, the 5MP main camera protrudes slightly, and a dual LED flash can be seen just below. On the right side there is a plastic power / lock button. It protrudes slightly above the body and has a clear stroke for pressing. The element is located at the top, which makes it slightly awkward to use. A similar volume rocker is located on the left side in the same place. All the remaining elements fit on the top end: a microUSB socket and an audio jack.

The cover of the smartphone is removable, it opens quite easily due to a special slot in the bottom corner. It is strong enough and has a lot of fasteners on the inside for a clear fit. Everything is expected inside, most of it is occupied by a compartment for a large battery. It also closes all outputs for “hot” removal of memory cards and SIM.

The dimensions of the Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO are quite large for the 5 ”format. And the point is not only in the expectedly large thickness, which here is 9.9 mm, but also in a fairly decent side frame. The width of 76 mm and the length of 150 mm do not allow you to comfortably operate the device with one hand. But what can I say, these dimensions are very close to the flagship 5.5 "models! However, again, you should understand that budget models are always larger than their expensive counterparts. In general, the device lies pleasantly in the hand, which is facilitated by the soft-touch plastic on back cover... In addition, the coating tactilely reduces the weight of the device, because 190 g is a lot, since the summer has already come to an end and the problem of wearing in shorts without suspenders will not arise soon. The material turned out to be practical, stains are faintly visible on it, and scratches are not so noticeable, although dust is attracted very well. However, the gloss still made its way into this model - the upper side frame is made of shiny black plastic, which even adds some elegance to the model. In general, the device looks good. As you can see, we had a blue version, but you can buy completely white.

The screen in Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO is made using TFT technology and has a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. Of course, the figure is very low, but the matrix itself is quite good. As a result, the final pixelation is not so striking, although, of course, you can't fool the eye, and the fonts look too jagged. The display has an air gap, and due to low brightness in the sun, it fades a lot. Displayed colors are slightly dull, although overall the picture is not bad. The image fades at the corners, but is not subject to inversion. The backlighting is well done, there are no overexposed areas in everyday use. The sensor is simple, accepts only two simultaneous presses, but we did not have any problems with their processing.

The main speaker in Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO has a good headroom. Being in another room, I could not miss a call, and how the alarm clock works perfectly. Of course, you can't say that about quality. Quite flat sounding with obviously stunted bass. But here we did not expect any other result. It also doesn't make sense to search for every favorite note in your playlist with headphones. The quality of the audio section is average, the bass is not very active, and the highs are not so distinct. The volume is barely enough for trips on the subway or other noisy place.

Software

Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO works under Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Externally, the system has not undergone major changes, the black and blue interface theme has been retained. When working with SIM cards, the interface is drawn based on the connected cards. So, if one of them is not there, the icon assigned to it is not visible in the top line of notifications, and the second button is not displayed in the dialer. On the lock screen, the camera can be accessed either by swiping to the left or through the ring. Internal settings remain unchanged. The status curtain is divided with a toggle-switch window; the latter has not undergone any changes.

A small set of applications is preinstalled on the smartphone. There is a typical flashlight file manager, a clock application with a rather controversial design, including several display types and the presence of an alarm function. The smartphone is equipped with all kinds of services. First of all, it is the MultiStore branded application store. Next comes the eReader Prestigio with access to the online library. There is also OfficeSuite, an application for working with office tasks: text, tables, presentations. Well, one toy: Danger Dash, an ordinary runner with primitive graphics that can be easily pulled by this device.

In terms of mobile communications there were no particular complaints - the signal quality was kept at an acceptable level. It is a little disappointing that not both slots work with 3G networks for fast and convenient switching. The Wi-Fi antenna also did not bring pleasant or not very surprises. GPS performed well, providing an acceptable level of positioning.

Camera

Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO has a 5-megapixel camera module with optics, according to EXIF, with aperture f / 2.0. Photo quality at the appropriate price segment level. The picture cannot boast of good detail, the work of noise reduction and compression is visible. Colors are drawn slightly faded, often fading into blue. The exposure as a whole is chosen correctly, but overexposures are not excluded. When the lighting drops, the quality of the pictures is greatly reduced and the flash does not save the situation. The video is recorded in a maximum resolution of 720p, the quality is low, there is clearly a lack of detail, although the bitrate is large - 12 Mbps. The front camera has a resolution of 0.3 megapixels and is suitable only for Skype negotiations. The interface is typical for MediaTek solutions and their standard platform. There are basic settings choice of resolution, quality, as well as additional items separately for photo and video, such as exposure, type of lighting, stabilization, and so on.

Benchmarks and performance

The smartphone is built around the MediaTek MT6572 processor, a dual-core solution based on a 28nm process technology. Graphics core the single-core Mali-400 is in favor. The device has 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of permanent memory, of which about 1.3 GB are available at the start for multimedia. So for the installation of games with a large weight, an SD card is required (data transfer is available). In the settings, you can set the initial priority for installing applications to a particular storage. The characteristics are perhaps one of the most minimal. This affects overall speed work: the interface does not scroll so smoothly, but there are not so many hard freezes during normal use. At the expense of GPU you can even try to play modern games, but firstly, you have to put up with minimal graphics, and secondly, to frequent drops in fps below 25 fps. It is worth noting that this filling is noted, first of all, with a good saving of battery power, which is what our emphasis should be shifted to.

The installed 3000 mAh battery in Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO lasts for a long time, although a battery with a much higher capacity could be inserted into such dimensions. An example is the entire THL 4400 (review), which even in smaller sizes holds, you may not believe me, all 4400 mAh. Due to the energy-efficient processor in quiet mode, the device manages to live without problems for a week, or even more. When setting the average brightness, which gives the optimal picture in the room, we have the following indicators of the operating time: 10 hours of video on YouTube, 12.5 hours of watching video through the player and about 8 hours of playing Gta san Andreas with minimal graphics. The indicators are good, and you will definitely get tired of playing 8 hours in a row. In general, autonomy immediately makes the device a kind of travel solution when you need a smartphone, autonomy and there is a fear of breaking it or simply losing it.

conclusions

As a result, we have quite a good solution as a travel long-liver. It will not please you with its characteristics, but it will serve for a long time, when the rest will already ask for the outlet and sooner. The price tag for Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO is kept at around 5000 rubles. It seems to be inexpensive, but there are many competitors in this price range, and with no less interesting specifications. So a slight cost reduction would be welcome. In general, our today's guest is quite suitable as a spare smartphone, capable of plowing all week without stopping.

Description from the manufacturer

Affordable two-symbol "Robot" with a giant battery The Prestigio MultiPhone 3501 DUO smartphone is not only affordable, easy to use and very convenient for simple calls.

Capacitive multi-touch technology allows it to perfectly handle up to five simultaneous touches, allowing you to play with all fives. A resolution of 480 by 854 pixels is not the ultimate dream, but it is enough for smooth fonts and sleek icons. It is not only convenient to watch websites on a large screen, but also any other image, for example, videos. All the elements of the picture are large, the eyes are almost not strained. The display is equipped with light, position and proximity sensors. A 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and face recognition and geotagging systems can easily replace the camera when the latter is not at hand.

You cannot change the memory card "on the go". You need to remove the battery ..

What did not like

1) If you are looking at this phone films in a horizontal position of the phone, that is, on the whole screen, consider that you are already in line to an ophthalmologist, since due to extremely low horizontal viewing angles, one eye sees a more shaded picture with color distortion, and the other is lighter with a normal color, which is fraught with consequences for vision. 2) The camera records video in 720p mode at 15 frames per second, that is, 15fps as in the 1930s in cinemas, comrades this is already too much 3) In poor lighting, there is a very noticeable noise in the camera in the form of white flickering stripes. 4) A smartphone is extremely heavy, if you just drop it on the asphalt, which is what many smartphones are designed for, this one will definitely break. when I put it in my jeans, it hangs and dangles, even jeans fall off, all my life I dreamed of such "mobility". 5) The lower part of the lid does not adhere well to the body, which is fraught with inevitable moisture inside 6) The Cypriots failed.
