"Exley Indigo": reviews. Explay Indigo mobile phone: User manual

One of the most productive entry-level smartphones with a fairly large screen diagonal is the "Explay Indigo". Reviews about it, its technical specifications and the capabilities of this device will be given in this detailed review.

Also what is in a base complete set?

It is a standard equipment for the entry-level device for the "Explay Indigo". The phone comes with the following accessories:

• Charger with an output current of 1A.
• Stereo headset.
• Interface cable for connecting to a computer or for charging a battery.

Of course, this list is supplemented by the actualthe device itself with a built-in rechargeable battery with a nominal capacity of 2500 mAh. In addition, the boxed version of this gadget includes an instruction manual, a business card of the manufacturer and a warranty card - this is the complete set of documentation for this smartphone.

Appearance and ergonomics

Something like the HTC One M8 appearance and design"Exley Indigo." The phone is not foldable. On the left edge of it there is only a slot for installing the main SIM card. On the right side of it there is a power button, a device volume swing and a slot for installing a second SIM card (an external flash drive can also be inserted here). On the upper side, like most smart smartphones, only an audio connector is output, and on the lower edge there is a colloquial microphone and a microUSB port. In the center of the front panel, as expected, is a display with a large enough diagonal of 4.7 inches. Under it are three touch buttons. And over it a speaker, a front camera and a number of sensors are displayed. The back cover of the smartphone is made of plastic, which in appearance resembles a natural skin. At the top of the smartphone is the main camera and LED lighting. At the bottom is a loud speaker and the manufacturer's logo. Despite its impressive dimensions (139 x 69 mm), it is not difficult to manage a smart phone with just one hand.

CPU and what it is capable of

A very powerful processor underlies the "Indigo". Reviews pay attention to this feature of this gadget. In this case, the 8-core solution MT8592M is used. And all of them can work simultaneously, that is, calculations can be performed directly in 8 threads. Each of its computational modules in the peak load mode is capable of operating at a frequency of 1.4 GHz. The capabilities of this chip will be enough for the next two years. In this case, you do not even have to think about how much the resource-intensive solution is being installed.

Graphics and screen

The middle-level graphics subsystem of the "Explay Indigo". Instructions to it indicates the presence of a graphicaccelerator Mali-450MP2. The diagonal of the display, as mentioned earlier, is 4.7 inches, and its resolution is 720 x 1280. The matrix that underlies the screen is manufactured using the IPS technology. This provides viewing angles close to 180 degrees. The very same picture does not cause any complaints. In general, the task of any level of complexity on the strengths of this graphics subsystem.

Cameras

Excellent main camera in the "Exley Indigo". Reviews for this are mandatory. It has a sensor element of 8.3 MP. There is autofocus and LED flash. Also, there are many modes for taking photos and recording video. Slightly more modest frontal camera. She has a 5 MP sensor. But still the quality of the photo and video received with it is not much worse than the main one. But for its main task - making video calls - it's just perfect.

Memory and its number

The RAM in this device is 1 GB. The most widely used standard is DDR3. The capacity of the internal drive of a smart phone is 8 GB. Of these, only about 5GB user can use for their own needs. The rest is occupied by the system software. There is also the possibility of installing an external flash card of 32 GB. But there is one important point. Developers decided to save, and the same slot can be used for both external storage and for the second SIM card. Therefore, the owner of this device will have to choose between increasing memory or saving on conversations. This is quite a controversial decision by the developers of the "Explay Indigo". Its price is about 8000 rubles, and it is unlikely that it would change significantly from the appearance of an additional slot.

Battery

As noted earlier, the case of this cleverthe phone is not disassembled, and the battery is built into the "Explay Indigo". The price because of this has not changed significantly, but the build quality of the case has improved by an order of magnitude. Its capacity is 2500 mAh. At an average load on a smartphone, one of its charging is enough for 2 days of battery life. If the load is increased, this value will decrease to 12-14 hours. But to exceed the rate of 2 days of battery life on this smartphone is unlikely to work. The screen diagonal is 4.7 inches, and it has an 8-core processor - these are the factors that will not allow to increase this value.

System software

There is nothing unusual in the software stuffing of thisapparatus. The familiar "Android" of one of the latest versions (specifically 4.4) is the system software. It includes a standard set of applications from the search giant and the developer of this software - Google company, typical social messengers and familiar mini applications (such as a calculator, alarm clock, organizer). There are also three pre-installed toys. Everything else to the new owners of this smartphone will have to be installed from the "Play" -market.

Communications

Smartphone "Exley Indigo" is equipped with allnecessary interfaces at the moment. Among the wireless you can allocate Wi-Fi, bluetooth, 2G- and 3G-transmitters, GPS. But the wired, as it should, only 2: MicroUSB and 3.5-mm audio jack. All this allows you to easily receive and send all the necessary information to the global web and not only.

Reviews

Now about the practical experience of using the "Explay Indigo". Overview reviews indicate two significantshortcomings. The first of these is a small capacity built-in battery. Alas, it is not possible to replace it with another one, with a larger capacity. The case of this apparatus is not folding. The only solution in this case is to use an external battery. This will significantly increase the autonomy of the smartphone. The second drawback is the need to choose the second slot for the SIM card or flash drive in the destination. But the built-in capacity of 8 GB should be enough for most applications. So here the choice is obvious - the 2nd SIM card. But the advantages of this model of the smartphone is much larger. This is a large and high-quality display, and a very productive processor, and an excellent balanced graphics system.

Summary

So, let's sum up. Let's start with the weaknesses of this smart phone model. In fact, she has two drawbacks. The first is a small capacity of the built-in battery and, as a result, a short battery life (maximum 2 days per charge). The second minus is the versatility of the second slot for installing the SIM card. It also installs an external flash drive. That is, the owner of this device has to choose between increasing the amount of memory and using the second SIM card to save money on conversations. But this gadget has more advantages. This is an 8-core processor, and a high-quality graphics subsystem, and flawless cameras, and a fairly large screen diagonal of 4.7 inches. In general, quite good for an entry-level device was the "Exley Indigo". Reviews its owners only confirm this.
