Another review of Jiayu G3S. Another review of Jiayu G3S information about navigation and location technologies supported by the device

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.

Good day! I sit on the Muske for three months, so I got my time to write my first review. Just and reason - the arrival of the new Jiayu G3S.

The phone was bought on the action on, plus an additional battery was ordered for $ 5, here's a total price of $ 180.99. On an interesting confusion with add. Battery - a little later :)

This is not the first to buy on Aliexpress. Prior to that, Jiayu G3 was purchased and the cover towards him. G3 I already sold and I didn't think about the review, but I use a cover with the current phone, I will make a review a little later.

First thing - trekking. 23 days from the date of receipt of the right track (25 from the moment of incorrect). Well, on the background of the 36 days of whom expectation of the first G3 - a pretty good result. With the receipt, too, there were problems - the famous "workers" of Russian Post in a rather coarse and mocking form declared me that nothing to look for nothing. I had no time to wait for the notice, so after the threat of writing complaints about them immediately had the desire to find me the parcel.

Now I suggest you to look at the characteristics of the phone shown at the time of purchase (now they sell G3T in all and changed the characteristics to new).

Now let's start directly overview. Package. It is a vocabulary box of the phone is wrapped in one layer.

Now the box itself. It is from dense cardboard, it looks pretty presentable, however, the edges are jammed - i.e. For a gift, it will not be born. Although…

I pull out the side of the phone and accessories from the cardboard box. What do we see there?

In bags.

Without these.

Here we have:
-telephone;
- Battery Li-Ion 2750Mach;
- Battery Li-Pol 3000mach;
-USB cord for charging and connecting to other devices (by the way, no support for OTG, said until I forgot);
-Z / y and adapter to the Euroreset;
-headphones;
-Listric labels with information about the device;
- protective film on the screen.

What surprised - the absence of any hints of instructions. Later I understood why they sewed an email instruction in Chinese directly to the phone. The move is quite controversial. I apologize, I don't have screenshots (who has - share, I will add to the review, I didn't think about them immediately).

Closeup sticker with information about the device and IMEI.

Externally, G3S from G3 is distinguished by the designation of slots for SIM cards: in G3, they are indicated by "G" and "W" like; G3S - SIM1 and SIM2.

Now batteries. Let's start with the fact that two original Li-Ion batteries of 2750mach were to come. And the original Li-Pol 3000mach arrived (such go from 1,5-GHz G3t) and Fake Li-Ion 2750Mach (weighs 44 grams instead of 54). The seller has been alleviated by all truth-unrigible proves that this plant supplies fake batteries. Requested by Maniback for this - zero response. If tomorrow does not answer - I will reveal the dispute. In the meantime, you have a photo of batteries.

We charge a 3000match battery into the phone, insert the MTS SIM card and a flash drive to 16GB. Everything passes with a bang. By the way, about the battery - on supposedly 2750mach started at once; On 3000mach only with charging, although it was charged by 55% approximately.

And we will immediately turn to the review of the appearance of the phone, although it was seen, it seems to me, everything. The left end is empty; On the right - the rudder of the volume adjustment, which you can still unlock the phone (A "+" on it allows you to take a picture in camera mode); top face - connector for jack 3.5mm and turning on-shutdown button; In the lower end, the micro-USB reversed connector and the microphone hole.

The back panel is very brand, as many have already spoken, and on a silver telephone (G3 I was just silver) it is not so noticeable. And therefore, such a beautiful rear surface ...


... In the blink of an eye turns into something terrible.

By the way, about the complete film. I was enough for a couple of days. Now I know that you need to be careful. Already sodis. We must look for high-quality and matte.

Now bumper. It looks pretty well.

However, it was worth putting it on the phone, as some problems got out. It seems that this bumper is from those who are made ababy as they cost less than the dollar. From the bottom it was not at first at all, but for a couple of days of use, it seems like a form of form and now the situation is better.

Now s / y and adapter on Evrovilku. Honestly - I did not understand, at what current is calculated s / y - probably stupid. 3000mach battery charged for ~ 3 hours. It seems like they found out that s / y on 1a. Taking into the hands of the adapter to our plug, first thought that he would fall apart - the thing is completely unreliable. But a couple of charging seems to be withstanding already, so not everything is so bad.

Separately I would like to say about headphones. This is just the case when complete headphones are not desire to throw away quickly. With small external differences (there is no Reasonable Signs of Jiayu), these ears are already described by a comrades.

Well, I suggest you compare the size of cardboard boxes from Jiayu G3 and Jiayu G3S. Unfortunately, there was no plastic case from G3.

It's time to launch the phone. And the first thing we see is an excellent IPS display with a diagonal of 4.5 inches with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, covered with Gorilla Glass glass (and I have no reason to doubt). I do not know how much I managed to transfer it to the steepness in the photo - probably, at all. But the display is excellent.

Now let's get to the tests of the chamber. Frontal declared as 2.0, and in principle it looks like the truth. Snapshots I with its help, unfortunately, did not. Therefore, I will show you pictures of the rear 8 megapixel camera (which I dated up to 40% of the original size; on the quality it did not affect the quality, as a whole, you can like the idea of \u200b\u200bquality. I climbed forced, the Internet speed does not allow the luxury like the fill of photos of 3- 4MB).

At all, the phone is given panoramas. I was convicted, panoramas are terrible. But there is.

The phone is pre-installed not the most pure Android version 4.2.1 with the root, bundle of Chinese programs and the Launcher from Jiayu (which, as I understand it, is taken from Lewa OS and redo). There are even replaceable topics in it.

The results of Antutu, which I received on this firmware.

Then I, I can say, psychulin and sewed into my MIUI OS phone based on Android 4.2.1. The TWRP recovery was set in a minute, for another 3 - Miui itself from the recovery. Minutes 2 she launched, after which the phone was ready for work. Personally, I liked this firmware to many more than the native one.

However, Antutu Tester The result showed for about 600 parrots less.

Test Wi-Fi, 2 meters and 15 meters through 2 brick walls from the router, respectively.

Honest multitouch for 5 touches.

35fps in Nenamark2.

GPS Test will not show - I saw 11 satellites, but after 3, no after 5, in no 10 minutes, it did not want to connect to them (in use - 0).

In addition, it came across the problem known among the owners of the G3S - the vibrating trainer overheats and refuses to work for a while. The decision is to replace it. But it does not bother me.

In general, what do we have?
+ Excellent display;
+ Excellent performance for reasonable money;
+ Gorilla Glass 2 glass (whoever spoke to, personally, I tend to think that it was it there);
+ Solid appearance (not that the kneadings of Gnusmasm, IMHO);

Unexpected actions of the seller;
- Sleepy plastic case.

Edit: I add information.

First about the sound. The spoken speaker is good, the interlocutor is heard even in crowded places. The external speaker sounds very well and loudly, and even at the maximum it does not break into wheezing and continues to play at a good level.
From not the worst headphones, I have the plots of Explay MPH335 (honestly, nothing else). The phone "pumps" them on the full, the sound is loud and clear, there is a bas, and very juicy, I like it.

Now about GPS. Helped the method described by a friend in the comments, namely:

With GPS, the solution is very simple - to give it the Internet (and not to take out), include all sorts of EPO and AGPS, give to find satellites and forget about problems. On G3 - I decided for 30 seconds after found in 4-10 seconds.
Well, at the level with Galaxy Note N7000

Turn off the Internet, restart GPS, which we see.

Everything really worked hard.

Now about the time of work. As long as I do not risk a fake 2750mach, although the day came out just with her, and quite successfully. It is now installed 3000mach, with very intensive use in the evening percentage 20. If only on calls, an hour and a half of the Internet and as many games, it is enough for two days peaceful. Overnight eats 1-2% in the usual (not aviation) mode.

Please take into account that this is my first review and I tried to do it as well as I can. I will be glad to hear criticism or requests to add any information that interests you.
