Types of phone:

Honestly, the green casing of poisonous acid caused a light shock. I ordered the phone black. Itself missed me that the cover should be black. But I thought so. The phone manufacturers, it turns out, do not take into account the wishes and put the covers in the boxes on a random basis. Well at least pink did not put. My "fi" I expressed the seller, but by the time the combination of green-black flowers has already become familiar and even relatives. I am no offense for the seller's case. By the way, the cover for this phone is not a luxury, but the need. According to reviews, the black paint from the phone's sides next to the screen starts to get causing, and the cover is protected from it. Well, of course, no protection in the fall. Even plus the cover - the phone in the hands is kept like a bothele, does not blunt to slip away.

Housing

Heavy, metallic. Metal it, of course, not all. I do not mean the screen - it should be glass. But the back cover of the battery compartment looks harvested. This feeling appears when it is removed, it is thin, the latches are unfastened with a crunch, causing concerns for their integrity. But in the assembled, the phone is felt as monolithic (and it does not creak and not peeling) black block, pleasant to the touch. Surfaces are smooth, but it does not slip out of the hands. Sleeping with your fingers quickly, also quickly rubs away. There are no oleophobic coating, and your fingers remain. The screen pasted the film. It didn't stick to his native - I went to the service, paid for their matte film, and it was stuck it. For a while, there is enough, with a matte film traces of your fingers on the screen are less noticeable.

Silicone case, sat on the body perfectly. It has become much more convenient to keep. Single replacement Softtach. About the case I can still say that. It has a rough surface and is polluted in the field quickly. And since the surface is not smooth, it is necessary to laugh, efforts are necessary.

Screen

Screen size - just time for action with one hand. In most cases, the second hand is not needed. Well, except to click the screen lock button, it is not entirely located on top. But the unlock works and from the volume keys. The volume reduction key can be used as the descent button in the camera application. I did not understand how autofocus works at the same time.

Still about the screen. The viewing angles are excellent, in my opinion. Specially took pictures at different angles. No comments.

Cameras

Basic phone camera. It is eight-megapixel. In order to take off the bus schedule, a beautiful view, a child who is not averse to Posted - all this is possible with good lighting. There is autofocus, and it even copes with his task. But not fast, in conditions of weak lighting, even attendant at home. However, the usual telephone chamber, not a carlityis of course.

Below are examples of the photo.

In the camera settings, you can set "full screen". With this feature, the phone takes pictures with the aspect ratio of 16:10 (may be 16: 9, there was no time to check). But at the same time, the maximum resolution is reduced to 6 megapixel. That is, essentially, 2 extra stripes from above and from the bottom of the photo are trimmed. I do not undertake to judge, but it seemed strange such a decision. The functions have panoramic shooting (eat and okay, the quality of the brief, made for a tick), shooting 3D images (this is when you remove the object from different sides and can also be viewed, but only on the phone), quality settings, etc. I did not understand, did not test them all.

The front camera is although it is announced 2 megapixels, but somehow I'm not sure about it. It's very wetting quality. In order to capture a self-portrait for the avatar on the forum or in the Google account, it will come back.

Video filming. Both cameras support HD-shooting. Frontal supports in quotes.

See the examples below.

Video from the main chamber:

I hope you are not offended that I did not shoot a longer video? In my opinion, everything is clear. For some reason I was hoping for the best. Maybe with good lighting everything will be different?

Performance

Well, it came to the place where this phone is on horseback.

The MTK6589T processor with 4 cores of 1.5 GHz, with 1 GB RAM into a pair, give sufficient performance for almost all tasks that may arise. Recently, people have complained about the brakes even in the android interface. Now finally it is time when you can forget about it. I had no reason to complain.

Below are the screenshots of the benchmarks.

Operating system

Installed Android 4.2.1 operating system, not naked. A certain amount of applications unnecessary for non-receptions is preinstalled.

Lancher is yours. It is addictive to it. But after a couple of days, the desire to put, for example, apex was gone.

Ruth was out of the box. Finding paths for rutation therefore did not have to. The titanium restored everything from another android device, demolished Chinese, and everything, the settings ended.

About the built-in memory: out of 4 GB part is occupied under the system. The remaining 2.8 GB are allocated for the installation of applications. Places for the built-in flash card is not left at all. Therefore, without an additional flash card, it is impossible to make even a photo. Someone the decision will seem controversial. There are always programs for processing the phone's memory processing or simply to roll another firmware. The benefit of them there is a lot on the 4pda and China-iPhone. For example, the same Lewaos. I did not put it just because the phone was not intended for me personally. A pluses that all available built-in memory is highlighted for applications are obvious. No need to break your head where to look for a downloaded file, which of SDCARD, external or internal for example. Well, of course, everyone has its own preferences. A memory card is not a problem now.

Another plus, about which I almost forgot, it lED status. When charging, it burns red to 90% charge. Then green, which can confuse (the charge has not yet completed). When discharge up to 15% also flashes red about the need to find a socket. In fact, it is not necessary to worry much, for a couple of hours or even more charge it is enough (if you do not continue to play or pull something big). He also signals green about missed calls, SMS and other messages. Conveniently.

Pro battery capacity I can say a little - the tester knocked 600 with small points. This is a parrot. During the use of (several days) charged every other day. For two days not very active use.

Battery consumption screenshots:

Pictures of the charger:

I did not use my native charging. I have several of them from other phones. The cord of the native is short, so I use the charger, which is more authentic. The cost of charging did not test. Per night charging and okay.

Multitach

I describe simply because the first time collided with a multitatch for 7 touches. As they say, "No two is one and a half. 5 touches, it seems to me that I would have enough for my eyes. I, when I tested, hardly fit the same 7 fingers on the sort of a rather big screen.

Multitach Test:

Navigation

Yes, tested. Yes, got the result. The cold start for 111 seconds on the windowsill in the apartment (3rd floor, coming to the southwest to the courtyard of the same 6-storey houses). Pre-using the header from the forum on the china-iPhone it was configured. This test did for the test. Navigation itself is needed like a mare fifth leg.

By the way, there are a lot of reviews about the wrong GPS operation in this phone, that sometimes it is necessary to overpass there. Perhaps this is the case, but I passed the side.

Behavior in the Sun.

I give photography phone in the sun. Photos, immediately say, are made at home, according to a single reason: I hit the frost under 20 degrees, and I did not smile at all to go outside with the phone and the camera in my hands. Photos give the overall view of the screen brightness. Display (yes what to see there - see) and read the message written on the screen can even with bright light, well, maybe with your hand you have to cover a little from the glare. By the way, I did not check the car for brightness, and how she behaves - I do not take it.

Photographs of the phone on the sun on the maximum brightness, on medium and at a minimum:

Telephone component

Calls, dosens, the interlocutor is heard, I heard me. All standard. When installing a new SIM card asks what to use for voice calls, which for video (and for 3G, respectively). You can configure to always asked, from which SIM card to call, from which message to send. In the phone book you can bind the number to the SIM card. Other I have met Lewaos. There is a dialer interface that allows you to choose a SIM card for calling the slider by a dialer.

About communication standards

The 3G WCDMA2100 standard is supported on both SIMs and no other. That is, if your favorite provider works in another standard, then 3G you do not see how your ears. I encountered this, "grown" and put an unsupported sim card on the shelf for a while, while my phone was with me. With two other providers who have in our area, the phone works without comments. Connection parameters had to score manually, it did not picked up. And the speed was 64 kbps per second. After 2 days of attempts to understand what I do wrong, I called in support - they rebooted there something, I turned off-turned on the phone, and the op-pa - the speed of up to 7 Mbps rose to receive. And I sinned on the body.

HD video playback

Especially for such cases I have on a flash drive 2 test rollers in FullHD-quality (some films trailers). A stock player reproduced them both, but one of them without sound. Cause - You need to turn off the hardware decoding, and it does not have in the settings. Used the MX player standard for such cases. Both are reproduced, and with sound. A very controversial question about the need to play such a video on a small screen. Movies such little never weigh. There are 7 GB and more. Maybe it is better to use the TV? Well, or computer with a good screen?

Games

For the dough installed Real Racing 3. Son played. What can I say? Brakes appear, but only with a large number of cars. In the rear view mirrors there is an image. Son's discomfort at the game did not experience. The session will be passed, will receive the phone back (if you pass well) and still tested.

What do not like? Weaknesses, disadvantages.

He is a weak front camera.

What do you miss in it?

WCDMA900 for Tele2.

What functions do you use often?

Skype. Viber put. Reader. The Internet. Gmail. Camera.

What functions do you use occasionally?

Mail.Ru Agent.

What functions do not use at all?

Bluetooth did not even check. I don't have a headset now (I gave up as inappropriate in good hands, until it got used from old age), and something to be connected with phones was lazy.

Have you had to repair the device?

No, and I hope you do not have to.

What trouble happened to the device? What glitches were noticed?

There are no such.

Try to compare this device with other models that you have to use.

Extremely good Chinese smartphone. Maybe I had to deal with devices that require any additional actions on setting up, finishing, flashing, etc. But this apparatus is needed in this. All operations on the fitting of the smartphone occupied 2-3 hours, including recovery of applications from back-up and photographing the unpacking process and first inclusion.

What else can you say?

This is a working phone. Not for entertainment, Ponte, toys. Although for all these purposes, it also suits, the processor and memory allow you to do almost everything on it. But, I repeat, this is a reliable phone for work. A little lost interest in it when I realized that it was not necessary to configure it, it was not necessary to mess around with him. The quality of Chinese smarts (and not only smart) grows and very noticeable. Let's wait for the ability to test something 8-pointed.

9 out of 10. Delivered one score for the lack of WCDMA900. I recommend buying to buy everything.

Budget Communicator from the Middle Kingdom, which could be a hit

The current hero of the review has long drawn the attention of the public with their characteristics and price. He became one of the first, if not the first, communicators who allowed to carry out the dream of many buyers: to purchase a smartphone with a dual-core processor, a large display with a resolution of 720 × 1280 points and support for two SIM cards for the symbolic money with such characteristics.

In the chain of events, Zagogulina happened, and Jiayu G3, namely, he was talking, turned out to be the editorial office after his alive alter-ego - Iconbit Nettab Mercury X, the communicator of the domestic company, but with a distinct Chinese pedigree having a twin brother in the form of UMI x1. But nothing terrible: the more interesting there will be both devices, because the price tag on them is distinguished by almost twice.

Before proceeding with the description of the impressions of the novelty, it is necessary to make a reservation that Jiayu G3 is currently possible to be purchased only in China, it is not officially supplied to Russia.

Delivery and characteristics

Jiayu G3, perhaps, one of the most unusual packaging, at least among those that we met: a thin white cardboard cover is hoping for a transparent plastic box, most of all resembling a food container, in which, in turn, a smartphone and accessories are in turn. It is impossible not to note the strength of this design, which is undoubtedly important when shipping by mail. At the same time, in order to open this plastic "Ark", you need to work hard and suffer a little, especially if you do this for the first time.

There is no particular useful information on the packing of the communicator, only the device name will be understood for the compatriot, the name of the manufacturer's company and the address of its site. The rest of the few information is presented exclusively by hieroglyphs.

Accessories set Jiayu G3 Standine: Rechargeable battery, charger, Micro-USB cable, wired stereo charter and documentation. As a pleasant bonus, a protective film for the Communicator screen is pond. All available accompanying documentation contains text exclusively in Chinese.

The characteristics of the jiayu g3 communicator are as follows:

• MEDIATEK MTK6577 processor (two Arm Cortex-A9 cores, frequency 1 GHz) with PowerVR SGX 531 video engineed;
• Android 4.0.4 operating system (Ice Cream Sandwich);
• IPS display, diagonal 4.5 ", 720 × 1280 pixels, capacitive, with multitouch;
• RAM 1 GB, the main flash memory of 4 GB (2.5 GB available);
• Support for microSDHC memory cards with a capacity of up to 64 GB;
• Support for two SIM cards;
• Communication GSM EDGE / GPRS (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) for both SIM cards;
• 3G HSPA connection (2100 MHz) for one SIM card;
• Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR;
• Wi-Fi 802.11b / g;
• FM radio;
• GPS + A-GPS;
• Position sensor in space, accelerometer, magnetometer;
• Camera with a CMOS sensor with a resolution of 8 megapixels, autofocus, LED flash, an additional camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels;
• Lithium-ion battery, capacity 2750 mA · h;
• Dimensions 135 × 65 × 10.8 mm;
• Weight of 131

Characteristics of Jiayu G3 and IconBit Nettab Mercury X coincide almost all items. Of course, two communicators differ in size and weight, but in many ways it is explained by the difference in the dimensions and the capacity of the batteries of these two devices. In general, the parameters of the Jiayu G3 hardware filling seem very tempting, given the price of the communicator. The main positive point is the capacious battery, negative and mysterious - a few outdated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules.

It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that the described capabilities of Jiayu G3 are characteristic of that firmware, with which the device went on sale, and the screen shots were made with it. It, in particular, is based on the version of Android 4.0.4. Meanwhile, at the time of the announcement of the article, a new firmware was already available, based on Android 4.1.2, and in one moment, which we will arrange later, the functionality of the device may noticeably change relative to the option "of the box".

Design and appearance

In the era of the struggle for the title "The thinnest smartphone" Jiayu G3 looks very extraordinary - a kind of weighty and thick black plastic "brick". The feeling that it can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also, for example, to clog nails or as a self-defense weapon.

Despite the classic body shape and a small weight for its dimensions, Jiayu G3 is definitely a male smartphone. It is in the male hand that this "bar" looks most organically and impressive. It is difficult to imagine that the hero of the review will interest the representatives of the fine sex and, especially, will fit in a female hand.

Thick side faces allow you to confidently hold the communicator with one hand despite, in general, slippery plastic of the case. But, unfortunately, the dimensions of the smartphone also limit the possibilities for its placement in various pockets. Convenient grip, in addition, does not mean the convenience of the communicator control with the fingers of one hand: to reach all the angles of the extended display in the length of the display, the smartphone body must be intercepted in the middle, sacrificing the reliability of grip.

Externally, the hero of the review recalls several families of devices: there is something in it from Sony smartphones, which have a lower part of the housing, there is something elusive from iPhone 4 (probably, the design of the top of the front panel and cutout under the telephone speaker), but Most of all in it from the externalities of the old good communicators with now in the Bose Mobile - for example, E-TEN models, which had more than all the thickness of the hull, Chinese plastic and, in general, the "uncomplicated" design. The main impression of the design of the communicator is exactly the way the smartphone with Windows Mobile in 2006 looks, if anyone in the subway, at that time, discouraged to release the communicator without hardware keys, with a touch display on the front panel.

The Jiayu G3 case material was plastic and metal, the first two types: black matte - for most of the housing, black glossy - for the front panel and ends. The metal is represented only in the form of two inserts from two sides from the protective glass of the display. They look not very organic, it seems that the developers tried to make the communicator more "representative" with their help, but achieved only the opposite effect. All panels - and plastic, and metal - wonderfully collect fingerprints.

In general, the quality of the assembly and the design of the communicator does not cause complaints. There are no screens and arms between the details, nothing rings and do not hang out. The lid of the battery compartment holds on several latches and disconnected with some effort and diligence. Litter keys have a relief shape and a distinct move.

On the front panel JIAYU G3, in addition to the display, there are three touch keys (all with backlight), a telephone speaker, an additional camera lens, two sensors and a LED protector status indicator. For the presence of the latest smartphone developers worth praise separately. The entire front panel, with the exception of metal inserts, is closed by protective glass, by properties are similar to the famous Gorilla Glass.

The name of the manufacturer and its logo is applied only on the lid of the battery compartment, which is the back of the smartphone. For the main dynamics, the camera lens and the LED flash in it contains holes. After disconnecting the cover, views of a huge battery, connectors for SIM cards and a memory card (replace them without pulling out the battery can not be).

It is possible to remove the rear plastic panel, only picing her nail in the lower right corner of the communicator body - it is there a special excavation. On the right side of the smartphone there is a dual key control key of the audio system of the device. The left edge of Jiayu G3 is empty.

The microphone and micro-USB compatible connector are located at the viewer's hero. From above - power control key and 3.5 mm connector for headphones.

The location of all control elements in Jiayu G3 is standard, but, however, there are several questions to the layout and design of the communicator. First, surprises a large number of free front panel area, which is not busy anything - a smartphone could simply make less. Secondly, the lower part of the front panel seems absolutely unnecessary, as well as the plastic rim around the display. Thirdly, instead of the touch keys would be painlessly lay, mechanical, but the developers went on fashion. Of course, all this can be considered soldering; The communicator turned out as it is. Moreover, the size of the housing may be dictated by the size of a large battery, which must be fitted inside. As a result, the answer to the question, whether the device like, for everyone, but for me personally he is negative - Jiayu G3 really wants to quickly hide into some case. It remains only to note that there is also gray and silver variants of the smartphone.

Software

The communicator is running the Android 4.0.4 operating system (recently appeared firmware at 4.1.2). The system is presented almost in priority form, no additional shells. Initially, the system is set as the main Chinese, so that to switch the interface to Russian it will have to work a little bit and move on the settings menu.

From the Lock Screen, you can get into the camera control program or on the main screen. There are no non-standard icons or widgets on its five tabs.

However, several additional applications in the Jiayu G3 firmware are available. They can be divided into two categories: useful programs and not very - at least for Russian-speaking users. The first group includes a flashlight, a file manager and manager of running applications - all of them in special views and explanation do not need work.

The principle of operation of the management program of two cellular communication channels is one of all those who have been on testing communications based on the MediaTek platform. The owner of the smartphone has the ability to choose which of the two GSM channels will be used in various situations: when calling, sending SMS and MMS messages, for data transmission. One of two SIM cards can be assigned preferred, and it is it that will be used to perform the mentioned operations. Either you can refuse this setting and make the choice every time it will be necessary.

Display and sound

Like a couple of IconBit Nettab Mercury X / UIM X1, the hero of the review attracts the attention of the public to its display: for the budget smartphone, its characteristics are different as wonderful you will not call. The IPS-matrix diagonal is 4.5 ", the resolution is 720 × 1280 pixels, and as a result, the density of the inch points (one of the most popular parameters in recently for comparison of smartphones) - 326 PPI. It will not be superfluous to write again that the density of pixels has more than that of the Samsung Galaxy S 3 screen, less than that of the iPhone 4 display, and exactly coincides with the density of points in the Retina matrix in the iPhone 5.

The screen is closed with protective glass, recognize up to 7 simultaneous touch, the viewing angles are very comfortable, the backlight brightness is automatically adjustable, but on the bright Sun picture on the display becomes difficult to distinguish.

Read more about the Jiayu G3 screen will tell the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections Alexey Kudryavtsev.

The front screen of the screen is covered with a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of bright light sources, there is a very efficient anti-glare filter that reduces the brightness of reflected objects. On the outer surface of the screen, there is a special oleophobic (tight-repellent) coating, so traces from the fingers appear not as fast as in the case of conventional glass, but are easier to be removed. Note that the efficiency of the oleophobic coating this screen is quite high.

When manually controlled brightness, its maximum value was 350 kD / m², and the minimum - 22 cd / m². The maximum value is not outstanding, but in principle sufficient - even with bright daylight on the screen it will be possible to consider something. In the full dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. There is automatic brightness adjustment over the illumination sensor, which is in complete darkness and in conditions lit by artificial office reduces the brightness of about 50 kD / m² (acceptable), and in a very bright environment, the brightness rises to the maximum. There is no lower brightness of the modulation of the backlight, so there is no flickering of the backlight.

In Jiayu G3, an IPS type matrix is \u200b\u200bused, so the screen has very good viewing angles without inverting the shades and without a significant shift of colors, even with large looks from the perpendicular to the screen. True, the black field during the deviation on the diagonal is labeled and, depending on the direction of the deviation, the red-purple or greenish-gray shade acquires. However, this smartphone has an increase in the brightness of the black field is very weakly expressed. With a perpendicular view, the uniformity of black and white fields is good. The response time during the transition is black-white-black is 23 ms (11 ms incl. + 12 ms off.), The transition between halftones is 25% and 75% (for the numerical color value) and back in total it takes 27 ms. There is a certain brightness correction depending on the general light of the image (the brightness decreases for light images and rises for dark), but it only works when the halftone is outputting, and when the black or white field is output (or the primary colors), there is no adjustment in full screen. Why, such a function is needed - it remains a mystery, but as a result, a gamma curve built in 32 points, though did not reveal in the lights, none in the shadows, but had a very strange form, not reminiscent of a standard power function with an indicator of 2.2:

Contrast high - 960: 1. Color coverage is very close to SRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix light filters to moderately mix the components to each other:

The color temperature is slightly higher than the standard 6500 K, and the indicator ΔE is quite high, about 12. However, both parameters change little on the entire value of the part of the gray scale, therefore there are no special claims for a subjective look to the color rendering of special complaints. (Dark areas of the gray scale can not be considered, since there the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)

As a result, the combination of characteristics The screen of this smartphone reasonably deserves a high marks.

Both dynamics of Jiayu G3, just say, unimportant. First of all, it refers to the quality of the sound: if the phone speaker adds the "cold effect" to the voices of all interlocutors (there is a feeling that they have a feeling that they are laid), then the main speaker simply begins to make a grinding and creaking along with low frequencies at full capacity . By the way about the power of sound, both speakers are average. The interlocutors also complained about not very high-quality voice in the embedded microphone. Thus, the conclusion is obtained as follows: the quality of the sound subsystem significantly spoils the impression of the hero of the review.

The sound quality of a complete stereo headerity, on the contrary, turned out to be at a good level, and its white color and comfortable Ambusushura caused only positive emotions. However, in any barrel with honey there is a substantial spoon of tar, in this case it turned out to be a large resistance of the dynamics of the headset. As a result, even at the maximum power, the sound of them is not so loud as I would like - for most cases sufficient, but lover listen to music in transport will have to purchase other headphones.

The headset control unit with the microphone and the answer key to calls is not disconnected, clip is provided for its attachment to clothing.

The communicator is equipped with a FM radio, which works only when connected headphones. The quality of signal reception is average, the management program has the functions of automatic search for stations, drawing up the channel list, audio records and RDS signals recognition.

Wireless Interfaces and Communication

Jiayu G3 is equipped with all necessary wireless modules for modern life. Immediately it can be noted that there were no serious problems with their work during testing the communicator.

Characteristics of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules look strange for the 2012 smartphone on the MediaTek platform: so, only the outdated version of the Bluetooth 2.0 stack is supported, and the Wi-Fi module, judging by its description, is not able to work in 802.11n networks - only in "Slow" networks 802.11b / g. Most likely, this firmware restriction is specifically of this smartphone model, since the same IconBit Nettab Mercury X, built on an absolutely identical platform, is also Bluetooth 4.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n.

Because the viewing module at the viewer's hero is one, then simultaneously make calls or transmit data over two networks (or one, but in two-channel mode), despite the fact that SIM card slots.

Unfortunately, the work of the GPS receiver in Jiayu G3 cannot be said to say anything - they simply have failed to use normally. For almost 10 minutes, the satellite navigation receiver has not been able to catch any signals from satellites! And this is when A-GPS and EPO - technologies that can significantly speed up the coordinate definition process. As a result, the communicator was capable only to approximate its location based on data from the base stations of the cellular network and Wi-Fi access points. The problem GPS receiver significantly "jumped" the reputation of Jiayu G3. It is possible to restore it to work. It is possible at least on the network there is a description of the necessary actions, but for this you need root access and a certain level of skills at the smartphone owner. Fortunately, there is information that on the new official firmware, which we did not have time to check, the problem with the operation of GPS has already been fixed - well, or has become less pronounced.

Camera

Cameras in Jiayu G3 and IconBit Nettab Mercury X are completely the same. The main of them matrix has a resolution of 8 megapixels, it is complemented by an autofocus system and a LED flash. An additional camera on the front of the smartphone has a photosensitive matrix with a resolution of 2 megapixels.

The shooting management program is built into the operating system, so we are already familiar with its interface. In general, it is convenient, but in order to get to the desired setting, often you have to be aiming in small icons and wade through the long menus.

Settings at the camera a great set, all of them describe here does not make sense. It is worth mentioning, however, that the list of operating modes of the camera contains 4 items: photography, video shooting, panoramic survey and panoramic macro shot.

The speed of the camera and the launch of the application itself is high, however, the principle of activating the autofocus system at the hero of the review, as well as the IconBit Nettab Mercury X, requires addiction and does not seem very comfortable. Instead of setting the focus every time at the time of shooting, the system continuously calculates it, constantly focusing on one, then on another object in the frame. And in the end, the snapshot may not be like that which it was conceived: either the system focuses not where it is necessary, or the communicator itself will be shifted, and the settings will be "eaten." Of course, the focus area can be manually specified by hand, simply touching the screen in the right place, but, first, it is not always convenient, especially when shooting with one hand, and secondly, this operation will level all the advantages in the shooting speed for which, judging All over, program developers and autofocus systems have established such a strange algorithm for their work.

Be that as it may, Jiayu G3 is able to shoot the surrounding reality, and makes it very thorough for such an inexpensive communicator (although by and large the quality of the pictures, of course, cannot withstand any criticism). Snapshot resolution can reach 3264 × 2448 pixels. The video is carried out with a resolution of 720p and a frequency of 30 frames per second, recording format - MPEG-4, H.263 / AAC-LC. Only the amount of free memory on the map limits the maximum length of videos.

Autonomous work

The capacity of the regular battery JIAYU G3 is an impressive 2750 mA · h. Likewise, few smartphones on the market can boast such a "stuffing" battery.

The presence of a capacious battery is associated with a very economical platform should, in theory, ensure the very long work of the Chinese smartphone offline. Spend the statistics here forces only a large and bright display, but it is so - only tests will show.

So, in the mode of reading an e-book with automatic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight, the communicator worked for 17 hours. Listening to music with a disconnected screen discharged a battery by 20% in 15 hours: on a longer test, unfortunately, we did not have enough time, but even by this indicator you can judge that in this mode, your smartphone is able to work for several days. The last test is a 280r video playback, its result is 4.5 hours of continuous operation Jiayu G3.

Conclusions are unambiguous: the capacious battery and the MEDIATEK platform allowed Jiayu G3 to become one of the most "long-lived" devices of this class on the market. Only a little he gave way to the record holder - Philips Xenium W732 communicator.

Performance and speed

MEDIATEK MTK6577 processor capabilities are already well known; Together with his younger "brother" - MTK6575 - they firmly settled in the SOC segment for budget smartphones, which in large quantities began to appear on the market, and some of them managed to visit our edition. The combination of the MTK6577 chip, the RAM 1 GB and the display with a resolution of 720 × 1280 pixels in terms of performance, we investigated in the review of IconBit Nettab Mercury X, so that you expect any revelations in this regard from Jiayu G3, and it is easy to predict . However, check the smartphone in performance tests from our traditional set, you can and you need to make sure the predictions.

Softweg Benchmark 1.03:

QUADRANT STANDARD:

The assumptions were true, the results of the tests of IconBit Nettab Mercury X and Jiayu G3 - on the same level. Both communicators have demonstrated good performance for budgetary devices, at the level of topical two-year-old smartphones. With the flagships of the past, 2012, they, of course, are not under power, but, given the HD-resolution of the display, you can only rejoice that inexpensive communicators can meet the needs of most users in most tasks. The non-historical interface of the operating system is still somewhere and when it occurs, but in general there are no annoying moments, and rare "brakes" are easily explained by the features of the work of the Android OS itself.

It remains to look at the results of two more performance tests and check the features of playing HD video.

Video playback:

Support for hardware playback HD video, as such, in Jiayu G3, as in IconBit Nettab Mercury X, is missing. The capabilities of a single processor for trouble-free playing "massive" videos are not enough.

Together with the operating system update to Android 4.1, IconBit Nettab Mercury X has supported hardware decoding video in H.264 format. With a lot of probability, it happened in the new firmware Jiayu G3. How smooth and high-quality reproduction can provide hardware decoding can now be seen if you follow the links in the table presented earlier. All videos were opened by a regular player..

conclusions

With regret, but you have to admit: Jiayu G3 disappointed. Initial positive impressions gradually changed to negative. The desire to acquire a communicator with such characteristics once has finally disappeared after the problem with the GPS receiver was detected. But even before that, the opinion of the communicator was spoiled by the average for the quality of the dynamics and the microphone, as well as the amilateral design.

The probability that the problems mentioned are the features of a particular copy, of course, there is, but playing a lottery when ordering a smartphone from China seems to be superfluous. Especially if you consider the presence of an almost complete clone of the hero of the review on the Russian market - Iconbit Nettab Mercury X, in the event of which one would at least have anyone to make a claim, and the purchase to pass back.

By and large, Jiayu G3 has only one advantage over Iconbit Nettab Mercury X and its Chinese twin UMI X1 is a battery with 2750 mAh and, as a result, more autonomous time.

The appearance of the communicator is a matter of taste, but subjectively the combination of different materials of the hull and an abundance of an empty, no busy space paint a smartphone. A small plus game - the presence of a LED indicator.

To the question that will translate: the shortcomings of the smartphone, albeit potential, or its attractive price, the possibility and abundance of various "bonuses" from Chinese vendors (cover, bumper and the second battery can be obtained free of charge) - everyone can give an answer independently. In the end, you can order the same UMI X1, if you really want to save.

I use, almost 2.5 years old, a very good model of a phone in its kind, the price fully corresponds to the quality, used it neatly dropped at a minimum, even a little even uringed with water, everything passed and works fine, even retained his trade look.

Show more

Advantages: Design - Very nice design, affordable price, took in 2014, almost 5k rubles, despite the fact that the analogues of this phone have lost this model at times, a good camera, there is autofocus, RAM.

Disadvantages: There are places (gaps) where the screen is clogged there dirt and dust, water can be hit, glitches with GPS, although it can be solved somehow programmatically, through the firmware, a small one's own memory, but in principle it is difficult to attribute to the cons. Battery - I thought it would be able to keep it longer when active use, if you actively use, it's not enough for a day, if rationally, then you can stretch for three days

its three years very active and not very careful use worked on 5. It works so far, but too much mistakes for one machine

Pluses: I do not play toys, I needed a phone to work and with this task perfectly coped. On the first 2 years of life, quite decently pulled up to 5 applications. The camera is excellent with a good light.

Disadvantages: With constant use of the battery, hardly grabs for 8 hours of work, but it is worthwhile to give a discount, that in the day I hung it very much every other day, and every day. Two years later, a flashlight and autofocus stopped working, the buttons, a very funny bug appeared: in the middle of the day, the phone wures all the actions back, until the alarm call, and it does this for a couple of minutes: remember your day in two minutes.

This is generally good China. I was not lucky with WiFi, there were no problems with others. Brew for $ 220 (6800r) in China in 2012. It is still enough, I'm not going to change. Work without brakes: Internet, Yandex Applications, Reader, WSP Office Office Documents, Remote Administration (RDP, TeamViewer), USB, USB Modem Mode Just Saves If Stationary Internet Cramp when playing poker, photos for information, barcode recognition , Skype, ICQ, Navitel, 2GIS, Organizer, Reminders, Tower Defense Type, PC and 888 Poker Clients and 888. Well, for the latter better and more convenient for the tablet.

Advantages: Screen (Points are not visible, HD) price! Battery quality assembly The camera is quite conspicuous for the phone, but does not like room lighting. Support SD 2X SIM is well sewn without a glass of glass - not a single scratch - films and cover (almost 3 years already) as a whole filling is very good for its price. In the readers and dialer readers mode - 6 days keeps with me (without data transfer, WiFi and navigator. It is necessary to follow the processor does not shine at the maximum)

Disadvantages: The back cover does not like it to be often discovered - breaks around the edge. GPS - not as it did not come out to fix it - 5-15 minutes clings to any firmware without an Internet and with any patches - badly catches in the car, you have to keep the satellites outside the window. WiFi - on the stock and her clones (4.0) I had 2-3 times per minute, on firmware based on 4.2 WiFi is stable, but there are other shoals - black screens after calls, hanging, reboot during conversation, confusion in internal places Memory with the right configuration of drives (depending on the firmware). PS: Finally found a firmware that works fine - at 4pda from Xperia. A total of 1 noticeable minus - after charging sticks out per 100% percent, it seems to be treated, but I just overload and passes. She also added the volume of the microphone.

Bought a year with a little back. I bought for sports interest to look at the Chinese technique, well, and sow a bit. Then the corporate tariff changed and I had a whole 10 GB of the Internet, and there was nothing to do in my old Samsung S3600 on my old Samsung S3600. And I began to use the Chinese. And I liked it. I did not reflash anything, I did not change anything. Put Russian, took a part of the icons with hieroglyphs and that's it. I treat consumer phones - there is nothing to blow with him dust. Phone for me, not me for a phone ... I drop it periodically, fell a couple of times on the asphalt, a couple of times on a concrete floor. The panel flew away from the speaker, glued the "moment and I use further. I use Yandex traffic jams, I look, I will send pictures, and I send pictures, I call, and very rarely I write SMS. Practically stopped using the tablet, which before it used in the objectives above. Only Films on the plane I look at the tablet. The rest is all on Smart. Immediately bought a charger and add to myself. The battery. It is convenient. When I bought the phone cost a little more than 5000 tr. For such money, there are no shortcomings. Silent call sound cured mp3 melodia The call and some kind of program amplifier ... did not stick the film, since the type of "gorilla glans", the case is ordinary from rubber on the body. From the edges of the paint frame, slowly from falls and indifferent relationship gets off. In general, everyone is satisfied.

If we are talking about JIAYU JY-G3 MTK6589T, I can't say anything bad, he was not stolen for half a year, pictures for 8 megapixel, not bad, but only in good weather, the contrast and some shooting items are not at all Read, go into the darkness. (Examples of the photo Look here: https://fotki.yandex.ru/users/alexander-lazorenko/album/222437/) put the game with races, I didn't hear the lags at all, by the way the camera is better to install another for example: Camera FV-5, you will get a lot of manual settings except the same diaphragm, i.e. Adjusting the sharpness of the rear background is not real, there is no video there. Video is better to shoot in your native encoder (see the video example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\u003d_h-bddpe0vk By the way, after the chapter on YouTube, he began to twitch something, and so on the computer it smoothly shows) , I had nephonyatics with calls, for some reason the sound sometimes disappeared, you increase it works and call, it is not heard at all if I put the sound with the vibro normally. If you go without vibration and not indulge, then the charge was enough for 8.5 days honestly with honestly, I myself was surprised. WIFY perfectly plows, TV channels from Netah Naur, installed Skype, but for some reason he went to the trip mode when the Internet speded, and constantly it was necessary to enter the password and login in it, probably if Neta is actively active to work, the form from Skype so-so, but if you switch the outdoor chamber, it becomes cleaner. Headphones through bluetooth, too, work perfectly, and truth in the headphones quickly sit acupunulators.
