Alcatel one touch idol 2 Specifications

Accelerometer(or G-sensor) – I will install a position sensor near the open space. As the main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, the G-sensor is positioned like a crocodile, and can be used with different functions by turning or adjusting.
Gyroscope- A sensor that vibrates the rotation of an indestructible coordinate system. The building can be seen turning around in many areas at the same time. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices that rely less on accelerometers, the accuracy of the simulation is lower, especially with rapid movement. The same capabilities of the gyroscope may be used in current games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- A sensor that sets the optimal brightness and contrast values ​​for a given brightness level. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating hour of the device using the rechargeable battery.
Proximity sensor- A sensor that detects that when the device is close to the display during the wash hour, turns on the backlight and blocks the screen, avoiding pressure. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating hour of the device using the rechargeable battery.
Geomagnetic sensor- Sensor for selecting the side of the light, in which the device is straight. It determines the orientation of the device in the space close to the magnetic poles of the Earth. The information captured from the sensor is used in mapping programs for orientation purposes.
Atmospheric pressure sensor- Sensor for precise alignment of the atmospheric vice. Є partly GPS systems allows you to determine the height above the sea level and speed up the destination.
Touch ID- Finger identification sensor.

Satellite navigation:

GPS(Global Positioning System - global system positioning) - a satellite navigation system that ensures positioning, time, speed and means the location of objects moving around any place on Earth. The system is fragmented, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of the vicor system is the appropriate distribution of routes to determine the distances to the object at points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated per hour of blocking the signal from the satellite to the receiving antenna of the GPS receiver.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - a Radian and Russian satellite navigation system, divided into parts of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR. The principle of the world is similar to the American system GPS navigation. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation-time security of operators on land, sea, air and space bases. The main advantage of the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital systems do not cause resonance (synchronicity) with the Earth's patterns, which ensures greater stability.

    2 reasons for that

    Thin, Garniy screen, poor sound from the external speaker, bad camera and battery.

    2 reasons for that

    1. Garnius, thin! I understand that the colors of the felt-tip pens are different to relish. Ale looks so cute on me! I have a chocolate color. 2. Sprytny. 3. The battery is dead.

Camera! It’s too bad for photos to come out. It’s also good to keep it quiet, which stabilizes.

    2 reasons for that

    I was blessed with the following features: size, proportions of the phone, main camera (take fantastic pictures)

    2 reasons for that

    Awesome design: stylish case.

    2 reasons for that

    thin, durable screen, battery lasts all day, even more nice photos when walking from a close distance, you can “wake up” by tapping on the screen (without clicking this before, even if there is a short option)

    2 reasons for that

    Processor – 1.3x4 GHz. RAM – 1 GB. The 5" screen is very bright and clear.

    2 reasons for that

    Very subtle, minimalism and rigor, raptovo 4.4.2, important games are flying.

    2 reasons for that

    Garny, thin, I washed myself white. The quality of the photo is great, I have been very attracted to phones of the same price category. I took this one for 6, or 7 thousand, I don’t remember anymore.

    2 reasons for that

    Stable operation, no glitches or freezes Stylish, compact, thin (you don’t want to let go) Front screen (color, brightness, clarity, oleophobic coating) Productive (20,000 in antu) Good GPS camera, Wi-Fi works great the language shell is accepting, not important (free operation after restarting 700-800 MB) Battery is bad

    2 reasons for that

    Thin. Chi is not expensive. Real productivity is good, drawing on daily games, but not all. The sound on the headphones is excellent.

    2 reasons for that

    The sound from the headphones is weak

    2 reasons for that

    I don’t need Android 4.4)) If you want, you can call me before anything!))) Well, reflash it))

    2 reasons for that

    Touchscreen, even 1 frame recognizes 3 or more, non-main camera, you see 10 fps! Tobto, there's a treasure. I screamed on the phone, I missed it and it was already all cracked. The camera gets very hot.

    2 reasons for that

    At first I was more than happy with this phone, but as the month progressed, I became more and more stressed, problems and problems grew like a snowball. After NG wants to take this phone to the service for a guarantee until it’s completely gone, and not a share. on new river the first and last time, having missed the stone on the snow-covered stone, and the last time you stopped working the touch.
    The following points have been written down for the service before, as you would like to include it there:
    Galmuvat increasingly stronger with each month, starting galmuvat there, where not previously galmuvat.
    After watching 5-6 videos on YouTube, it just freezes, I have to re-enable, and after urgent pressure, the re-enable button does not work.
    Having become very and cruelly disturbed by the process, which is indicative of calls, sometimes the call is simply abandoned and is not placed in the list of those who called. The number is displayed

    2 reasons for that

    plastic case (even if the phone falls over and over again without breaking)
    Sometimes it freezes, takes a long time to soak in, sometimes I can’t hear the ringing, so you need the mute function when you take the phone out of the water

    2 reasons for that

    Glitch on the touchscreen (perhaps all representatives of this model).
    Quite tendentious.
    After a few months he was convalesced in the cow, perhaps there was some contact, and he died.

    2 reasons for that

    Battery (everything is the same), problem touchpad, buttons get wiped, get too hot when the power supply is active. With all bugs fixed and a small number of pixels per inch, those who upgraded from a phone with 300 or more, understand that the price is highly protected.

    2 reasons for that

    Sometimes the behavior is inappropriate. Scrolls through the delays, or the screen goes dark. Ale, I think it’s all the same through parts of the fall.
    There are no camera buttons on the body, barely handy

    2 reasons for that

    Without showing

    2 reasons for that

    It breaks often! The battery is running out. The pictures are not of the most bittersweetness. Get warm.

Idol 2 6037Y. This is a universal device, suitable for a wide audience of business owners.

The design of this model does not have any special features, everything is in its place: three navigation buttons under the screen, a front camera and sensors at the top of the front panel.

The smartphone case is made of plastic, the edges are 136.50mm, the edges are 70mm, and the thickness is 7.3mm. The storage unit stores 128g. Bichni edges paint the metal color of the upholstery. The hardness elements and the locking/unlocking button are located on the surfaces. At the top edge of the case there is a connector for connecting a stereo headset via a 3.5 "mini-jack" port.

Productivity and PZ

Operating system installed by virobnik tse Android versions 4.2 on top of which the mask is installed graphic shell Alcatel. The device has a multi-core Media Tec processor that operates at a frequency of 1300 MHz. The permanent memory of the device is 8GB, the memory for operational processes is 1GB. The main memory is expandable via micro SD up to 32GB.

The smartphone has its own ordered communication modules:

  • Bluetooth 4.0;
  • Wi-Fi 802.11n;
  • USB 2.0.

They can be used via GSM (CDMA modification) and support 3G, GPRS, WAP and other popular Internet access channels.

On your smartphone you can watch videos with separate FullHD 1920x1088, prote graphics processor This format is clearly “transformed” by force and for an hour the image loses synchronization with the sound track. Alcatel Idol 2 6037Y specifications. A-GPS module A hot start lasting 15 seconds is allowed.

Screen

The presence of HD support does not need any extravagance, and the screen, in principle, is very good, with a diagonal of 5 inches. This matrix is ​​designed to create up to 16.78 million colors. The pixel density per square inch of the matrix area becomes 220 ppi. The sensor supports multi-touch. The transfer to color is disgusting, I’ll look around at the great ones. In sunny weather, due to the special polarization ball, the images practically do not change their shades, but deep black is preserved without losing power to the screen.

Camera

The main camera of the smartphone is 8-megapixel, equipped with an LED cover for keeping out of mind the filthy lighting. The camera has autofocus, and can also “find” the focus based on the guide. The camera is located on the front panel and has a separate 2MP matrix, which is available in reserve for selfies and video calls to the Skype app.

Battery

Lithium-ionna rechargeable battery There is one real advantage - it is significant. This means that if you have a small capacity standard (2000 mAh) battery, you can now take an expensive additional battery with you when traveling. It will take a long time to recharge a battery that has run out of charge.

Visnovok

Due to the fact that it has a separate HD screen, this smartphone could, in principle, lay claim to the level of a top-end device and compete with its analogues. Alcatel Idol 2 6037Y, which is not a complete description of all possibilities, is a smartphone that costs the amount declared by the manufacturer, and is competing well with the industry.

Each member of another echelon has its own strengths and weaknesses. For Alcatel, a winning strategy has been to compete with operators across different company models. There are no unambiguous bestsellers, but decent habits are being collected. As a rule, operator devices are preferred by Alcatel - they pay a little more for them than for devices aimed at the mass market. This also means that such smartphones are not so optimal for the average person – exclusivity and sales through one operator mean a high starting price, a lack of alternatives and variable prices. The model can be kept at one price level for a long time - from the first to the last day of its sales, regardless of the fact that the entire market is already moving in a different direction and similar solutions cost much less. Such stability may have more disadvantages for residents, and the benefits are unclear.

This market is increasingly stagnant to Idol 2S, this operator model costs significantly more than its analogues from Alcatel. Here it is necessary to note that the difference is evident on board LTE, but it is also important for target audience from Alcatel? In my opinion, it doesn’t matter at all - people who buy Alcatel will not require LTE. Understand correctly, on the right, it’s not that they don’t need LTE at all, but there is an acceptable premium since it’s included in the kit - but it’s not required for the increase in price of 15-20 watts, for Alcatel buyers it’s critical Variety and competitive price/brightness .

The audience of Idol 2s is Beeline subscribers in Russia, who also require an LTE smartphone. This niche is valuable and extremely small. I also want to point out that from the point of view of a healthy eye, you can see that Idol 2 and 2s are less supported by LTE in others, but that’s not the case. Which device has a larger screen and a number of other features, it is not possible to say that it is the same model. The smells are similar, but approximately the same as all models from Alcatel for the rest of the rocks. This aspect is also important - a bad design that is beginning to come to life. All models are on the same face, and the time has come for something fresh.

Design, dimensions, core elements

What we have in front of us is a typical Alcatel – this means a receiving housing made of plastic, monoblock construction. The virobnik produces a model in different colors, but, as a rule, you can find a dark-silvered device in the fraction.

Phone size – 136.5 x 69.7 x 7.45 mm, size – 126 grams. Compact, fits well in the hand. The front panel is single-colored (to match the color of the body, so the white one is also white). On the front side of this device it is difficult to distinguish from other models, but it begins to tear as soon as you turn it over - the body has a small dent, the receiving plastic is resistant to abrasion. on back surface You can have a great speaker, a LED speaker, and an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus.


On the left side there is a slot for a SIM card, as well as for microSD memory cards, on the right side there is a paired volume control key and a power on/off button. The 3.5 mm socket was placed on the top end, and the microUSB axis was placed on the bottom. At the ends you can also open the microphones, there are two of them.


Above the screen there is a brightness indicator, a front camera, and also an LED that can be adjusted to work when there are missed calls or calls. In general, the folded container does not leak food, except when squeezed tightly back panel crackles. Who may not be able to do this - the reliability of the device does not indicate anything, but the design is such that it creaks. Carelessness in the design of the device, which gives such an effect. In real life, you won’t get angry at this respect and you’re unlikely to squeeze your phone like that.

Display

The device has an IPS matrix with a diagonal of 5 inches and a separate area of ​​720x1080 pixels. Multi-touch supports up to 5 points, brightness control in automatic mode is not very efficient. The brightness supply is reasonable, and the model turned out to be acceptable in terms of how it works with the screen. garni colori, I look around, there are no people to complain about. Perhaps you will like a few openwork fonts that stand behind the decorations, but you can change them to larger ones in the future. At the end of the day, the screen turns dark, but becomes unreadable.




Battery

The device has a battery with a capacity of 2150 mAg. According to the manufacturer's statement, it is possible to provide up to 400/520 years of operation in the recovery mode (4G/3G), up to 7/16.5 years in the sleep mode. In practice, the device in a quiet situation – 20 calls per day, a couple of dozen SMS, a year of listening to music and a little mobile internet– delays for almost 2 days. In this case, we can say that with a very active vikoristan one can live until the evening of the first day, but it is not typical for such a device to be used for the target audience. Such smartphones are purchased with a larger price for calls, SMS, mail, etc. This is not a machine for standing in the middle; there is no screen diagonal for comfort. When the battery is charged every hour, it lasts for about 2 years.

Memory, memory card, productivity

The phone has 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, of which 5.3 GB is available for programs and your data. Memory cards are supported up to 32 GB.

The chipset in this model is Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8926, 4 cores with a frequency of up to 1.1 GHz. The graphics processor is Adreno 305. In my opinion, the productivity is quite good, there are no complaints, for fans of virtual parrots I will provide data from benchmarks.

Communication capabilities

The phone operates in 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (850/900/2100 MHz), as well as LTE (for Idol 2 Mini S). Apparently Bluetooth version 4.0 for file transfer and communication. Prisutnya dartless call Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. The device, of course, can be used as an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot) or modem. To transfer files and synchronize data, USB 2.0 (High-Speed) is used. You don't need the Wi-Fi Display feature if you can transfer the signal from your phone to another Wi-Fi device. Traditionally there is a Wi-Fi Direct function. There is also an option for a remote Wi-Fi display.

The device also has NFC, you can use it to read tags, and there is a trial version of the Triger Pro program, which allows you to set up different types of NFC. The kit itself does not have any tags, but they can be added to any printer, such as Samsung.

Camera

The original 8-megapixel camera with autofocus does not show the star from the sky, gives a pleasant brightness of photos in bright light, but the dark result is noticeably darker. Photo part is not a strong point Alcatel phones, Meanwhile, marvel at the butts below. Video recording is supported from separate sources at 1080p, up to 30 frames per second.





Software features – Android 4.3

In Idol 2s, as in other models, Alcatel is using its own software shell, which can be quite controversial, since people often give preference to “naked” Android and are completely satisfied with its capabilities.

With a lot of functions that have been greatly reworked, Alcatel has added a number of programs that can be installed without costs and so, even those that are installed, make the device useful for uninformed customers.

Without unlocking the device, you can look at the forecast for the next day. If you turn the screen right-handed, there will be a calendar and a list of references for the current day (enter the reference or you won’t see another day). You can also look at the status row, which is only available when the screen is locked, because there is no security key or digital code.

The fundamental difference between Alcatel's approach and other shells is that you can access the side menu for all add-ons. On the head screen there is a weather widget with a number of icons. This is the point in the distance. We'll turn the screen to the left, and there will be widgets that you install. Let's go to the right, and there will be program icons, and all the programs have already been collected into folders, creating a selection. Before such an organization calls for a meeting, it is logical and has the right to life.

The customization menu now has customization options, for example, a battery saving mode. The menu itself is also redone in white colors, which makes it pleasant to drink. In our video, I talk about most of the programs that are in the device, and about those that have changed from previous models, I don’t want to repeat myself.

Next, you could delve into the skin program, describe it, but not in any particular sense. This is a smartphone, and this software is usually video, or I stick to the video. So marvel at the screenshots below.

One more part, I want to describe the multimedia capabilities. The device supports unconverted video; the chipset automatically plays 1080p as a substitute for the previous one. From the point of view of music formats, there is support for FLAC in addition to basic MP3 and others.

Inexpensive model with 4G support

Having guessed the Chinese company TCL and the Alcatel trademark that would belong to it, we first guessed about the famous top-end model of the TCL Idol X+ smartphone, which will be launched on new platform Mediatek with a maximum frequency of eight processor cores. However, the company, naturally, did not limit itself to the release of one flagship model for the new season: at the start of the MWC 2014 exhibition in Barcelona, ​​TCL presented a whole line of new mid-range smartphones, including Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 and OneTouch Idol 2S and various modifications. In keeping with the tradition that arose in the mobile market, the company could not help but release another version of the smartphone with the word “min” in the name.

Such a device for the company has changed the size of a smartphone from a well-known line, which avoids the long and difficult name for its name: Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S. This smartphone, small in size, does not have the characteristics of a top-end device - it is also stay up to the average price level , as we have guessed more than his cross-size brothers along the line. The Russian operator Beeline, for example, just a few days ago introduced the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S to the market as an exclusive proposition: the smartphone itself is offered in the operator’s showrooms for a “sweet” price of 7,990 rubles, and there will be three months for additional payment native mobile internet. It’s true that when the buyer has to make a sacrifice: the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S model purchased in Biline stores is “locked” to work only with SIM cards of this operator and will not function fully with the usual other cards. Moreover, the phone is loaded to the brim with Beeline’s branded add-ons, as it happens, but it’s powered by completely standard methods. And in order to use such a device with SIM cards of other operators, you will have to consider some non-traditional problems - how to choose this option. As if it weren’t there, the modification of the smartphone itself is proposed by Beeline (6036Y), and the maximum and shortest configuration of this model is that it has LTE support, so for such a low price you can buy Idol 2 mini S one of them inexpensive devices z 4G in our market. Should this smartphone ever happen to us, we will be able to use it to get a complete look at it.

Contents of delivery

We received a test copy of the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S without packaging and, apparently, a set of accessories, so we can only judge the richness of the smartphone’s contents by looking at the description on the company’s website. It is noted that in the box with the smartphone you can find a universal compact charging device, a Micro-USB connecting cable, an in-ear headset and a sales assistant.

Among the additional accessories that can be bought directly, you can include a cover-book with a specially designed indicator, which appears in the form of perforated icons that are illuminated - it looks nice and not overly it's energy-intensive. Without popping lids, users can retrieve information about sending SMS notifications, mail, calls, etc.

External appearance and handiness of the vikoristan

Behind the design is the form Alcatel smartphone OneTouch Idol 2 mini S is reminiscent of the latest products in the Idol series, most similar to the first flagship Idol X, which was so popular among hobbyists. In the smaller world, it has a design similar to the Idol X+ update, although some subtle design differences are evident here.

The smartphone has become small in size, thin and has a thin body that fits comfortably in the average hand. The device has slimy glossy edges, a matte rear non-slip surface, as well as small dimensions and weight, the smartphone fits comfortably in the bottom. The size of the device exceeds the size Apple iPhone— more similar to another compact modern model, Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.

The entire body of the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S is made of plastic, there is no metal here. The body has a monoblock structure, the back cover has a small width and a matte, non-marking surface, which is pleasantly displayed both on the ergonomics and on the strikingly elegant appearance of the device. The side edges of the wickon look like chrome-plated metal, but not the same metal, but the same plastic that was sawed onto it. The edges of the body practically do not scratch the bevels, there is a wide smell and a slimy smell on the pillbox.

This case also includes a unique method of inserting a SIM card: the card, just like in previous models of the Idol series, is inserted into the main slot, which is covered by a not-so-original cover. This lid does not need to be picked up with a special clasp; it snaps onto the door frame on the hinges. To open it, you need to press on one end of the lid and press it in the middle. In principle, this method of detection is completely simple for the full-sized representatives of the Idol series, but in the changed model all the elements also appeared to be changed in size, through which one can manipulate It became not so easy to handle the natural little crystals. In this situation, you have to vikoristuvat shostra, so as to squeeze one of the ends of the lid. This is how you have to work with the card - in the emergency, there is nothing left to sink the SIM card to the depth required for burial.

There is also a dedicated slot for inserting a memory card - it supports microSD cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB. There are short traces of the old caps, and you can pull them out just a little so that the stench does not interfere with the insertion of the cards. In general, the whole process is uncomfortable; the method of inserting Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S cards is far from the easiest.

On the back side of the smartphone, all the elements are familiar and arranged in the traditional order: on the top there are camera eyes and a light-emitting diode, at the bottom there are a number of openings for sound to exit from the speaker.

The speaker grille overlaps the surface of the table, which often muffles the sound of the smartphone. The single-section light-emitting diode bedroom has a PZ installed to control it like a light carrier.

On the front surface, the entire front panel is covered with a flat, dry glass without edges, on which there is an opening for a large, shiny chrome-plated grille of the auditory speaker, so the head can be seen front camera and sensors.

Below the screen there is no space for hardware buttons using the system and programs. The buttons are touch sensitive and light up with a white light of medium brightness; there was no option for adjusting any item in the menu.

I will install two mechanical hardware keys on the sides, and the offensive ones are placed on one - the right side, one row after the other. The keys for adjusting the volume and locking may have a short stroke, are small in size and just a little protrude beyond the boundaries of the body. By the way, the implementation of control elements is not very short, otherwise it is possible to call.

The Micro-USB connector was placed at the bottom end - next to the microphone opening. The headphone output is on the top end, and the opening of another, auxiliary microphone can be seen nearby.

Do not cover your smartphone with hard plugs or socket caps, because the device is not protected from water and saw. There was no hook on the body for fastening the belt.

In sales, it is traditional to find a variety of flavor options: light gray and dark gray versions, as well as rye and chocolate color options. In some versions, the front panel under the fold of the smartphone also appears in a different color: for example, the chocolate version is black, and the black version is white.

Screen

The Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S smartphone has an IPS touch matrix. The physical dimensions of the display are 56x99 mm, diagonal - 4.5 inches. The screen resolution in pixels is 960×540, the dots per inch display reaches 245 ppi.

The brightness of the display can be adjusted either manually or automatically, depending on the brightness sensor. Є a smartphone and a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear. Multi-touch technology allows you to process 5 one-hour dots.

A detailed examination of the prevailing trends of the regions is provided by the editor of the sections “Monitory” and “Projectors and TB” Oleksiy Kudryavtsev. Let's bring this expert thought about the screen of the monitored image.

The front surface of the screen has the appearance of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to smudges. Judging by the display of anti-violence targets, the screen is no thicker than the screen of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, let’s take a photo in which the white surface is displayed on the darkened screens (left-handed – Nexus 7, right-handed – Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S, then they can be separated by size):

The screen of the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S is slightly darker (photo brightness is 84 versus 92 for the Nexus 7). Two images of objects on the screen of the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S are even weaker, but note that between the balls of the screen (more specifically, between the outer edge and the surface of the PK matrix) there is no glass gap (e.g. wounds type OGS - One Glass Solution). For the use of a smaller number of cordons (such as a cracked surface) with highly differentiated coefficients of fracture, such screens look better in the presence of strong external exposure, but their repair in the case of a cracked external surface can be avoided This is more expensive, since you have to replace the entire screen. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (fat-resistant) coating (even more effective, similar to the Nexus 7), so fingerprints come off much easier, and appear with less fluidity, lower Kuzvichaynogo warehouse.

When manually changing the brightness and when the white field was displayed on the entire screen, the maximum brightness value became close to 500 cd/m², the minimum – 42 cd/m². The maximum brightness is already high, and, as a result, the doctor’s office anti-glares, read on this day, the posture of placement will be on high level. In the dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. There is automatic brightness control using the brightness sensor (located in the upper left corner on the front panel). In automatic mode, when changing the external brightness settings, the brightness of the screen moves up and down. In the dark mode, in automatic mode, brightness changes to 42 cd/m² (pleasant), in a brightly lit office (approximately 400 lux) brightness is set to approximately 500 cd/m² (maximum brightly), in a brightly illuminated sharpness (convincingly ) illuminated on a clear day, the posture of the surroundings, but without direct sleepy light (20,000 lux or a little more) moves up to the same 500 cd/m². As a result, the auto-brightness adjustment function works inadequately to modern minds, and is entirely in software implementation, while the moisture brightness sensor shows entirely plausible results. Regardless of brightness, the modulation of the backlight is practically daily, but there is no mesh screen.

U this smartphone vikorist matrix IPS type. Microphotographs demonstrate a typical IPS subpixel structure:

To clarify, you can familiarize yourself with the gallery of microphotographs of screens that are available from mobile equipment.

The screen can be viewed well without a significant need for colors, with great vigor, looking perpendicular to the screen and without inverting (except for the darkest ones when looking to the right) of the shades. For the sake of balance, we show photographs on which the screens of the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S and Nexus 7 display new images, in which the brightness of the screens is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m² (with a white field on the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera is muso switching at 6500 K. Perpendicular to the screens there is a white field:

The uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field is significant. 1st test picture:

The color transfer is good and the colors are present in both screens. Now it is approximately 45 degrees below the surface and to the side of the screen:

The image clarity under this image on the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S screen has noticeably faded. I white field:

The brightness of some screens has changed (at least 6 times, depending on the price), but the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S has a noticeably darker screen. The black field, when drawn diagonally, appears in the middle and takes on a purple tint. The photographs below show it (the brightness of the white plots at a straight line perpendicular to the surface of the screens is approximately the same!):

And under another cut:

When viewed perpendicularly, the evenness of the black field is average, and along the edge of the screen there are areas with increased brightness of the black:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is not great - close to 680:1. The hour of play during the black-white-black transition is 24 ms (13 ms on + 11 ms on). The transition between gray tones 25% and 75% (for numerical color values) and back takes 38.5 ms. Based on 32 points at equal intervals for numerical values, the shade of gray gamma curve did not reveal a collapse either in the light or in the shadows. The indicator of the approximating static function is still 1.86, which is lower than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve is strongly affected by static conditions:

Such enhancement is based on the evidence of the presence of dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the illumination depending on the nature of the image to be displayed (several fading was carried out with sequential display of the It is displayed on the entire screen), but we did not remove the additional evidence about it. In any case, a series of tests - the value of contrast and time, equalization of black under the skin - were carried out using special templates with an invariably average brightness, and not monochromatic fields on the entire screen.

Color color close to sRGB:

The spectra show that the light filter matrices gradually mix the components one by one:

The resulting visual colors have a natural richness. The balance of shades on the gray scale of particular deposits does not change, since the color temperature of the deposit is beyond the standard 6500 K, the difference in the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) is less than 10, which is considered a good indicator for a living organism, at which ΔE changes significantly as it decreases to tint - This is indicated negatively on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darker areas of the gray scale may not be correct, since the balance of colors there is not of great importance, and the loss of color dimming at low brightness is great.)

Please note: the screen has a high maximum brightness and is equipped with anti-glare power, so the device can be used on a sunny summer day without any problems. In the dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. The mode with automatic brightness adjustments is practically grey, and the brightness of the already illuminated area increases the brightness to the maximum, which, obviously, leads to an unprecedented waste of energy. To achieve significant advantages, the screen should be provided with an effective oleophobic coating, the presence of a wind-filled gap in the screen balls and the thickness, as well as the sRGB color scheme. Other shows are not visible, but they are not failures. In general, given the importance of the characteristics for this class of devices, the screen brightness can be set to high.

Sound

In terms of sound, the smartphone does not reveal anything special. Unfortunately, the speakers seem to produce a clean, but without noticeable presence of low frequencies, sound that is also insufficiently boomy. When you hear the sound during the hour of prayer, however, it especially flows in - the voice of a familiar speaker, the timbre and intonation become unrecognizable. Adjustment - standard capabilities of the equalizer by setting values ​​and performing additional effects.

The device has additional capabilities to record negotiations from the line, in which the parties involved in the dispute are recorded, and the recorded files are automatically stored in a separate folder. The smartphone is equipped with a built-in FM radio, as traditionally works only with headphones connected to an external antenna.

Main, water chamber There is an 8-megapixel module here and it has a maximum resolution of 3264×1836. The brightness of the photographs is average, most often the photographs come out overexposed and slightly blurred. The settings are carefully placed and manually arranged, so the possibilities placed here are modest.

The video camera can record at a maximum resolution of 1080p (30 fps), examples of test videos are presented below.

  • Video No. 1 (35 MB, 1920×1080, per daylight)
  • Video No. 2 (33 MB, 1920×1080, attached)
  • Video No. 3 (18 MB, 1920×1080, available at midnight)

Attach a photo with our comments below.

Sharpness on distant planes is disgusting.

Leaving the camera cannot be allowed at all, but in general it is bad practice.

The sharpness of the field of the frame is equal.

In the background, the leaves practically don’t get angry.

The noises in the shadows are not so strong, and, perhaps, they are formed in a bad way.

The behavior of the attached camera is obviously bad.

At night, however, the camera does not show such a bad result.

The camera copes poorly with macro photography.

Before us is what can be called a balanced camera. This is due to the fact that the camera simply does not capture these shortcomings. With its 8 megapixels it copes, perhaps not perfectly, but at least well. The camera has a poor sensor, good optics and poor software. All these three parameters are in symbiosis and give the camera its balance. The sensor does not cope well in the shadows, so the noise reduction does not need to be overworked. The optics improve images across the frame and behind the scenes, so the sharpening on photographs is almost daily. It’s not surprising that the cameras within reach don’t interfere: they work well in case of insufficient lightening. Up to a light sensitivity value of ISO 100, the camera is limited to extreme needs, but a night shot (ISO 232, 1/17 second) demonstrates a clearly poor performance.

As has already been said, the camera turned out to be well-balanced and completely suitable for most scenes.

Telephone and communication

The smartphone operates as standard in current 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, and also supports networks that are active in Russia. fourth generation(4G). With a SIM card from the Vietnamese operator Megafon, a smartphone in practice is required to know and works with LTE network. Data transmission speed, of course, can theoretically reach up to 150 Mbit/s of input traffic. With additional limiting possibilities there is encouragement. Connection mode external devices Unfortunately, there is no connection to the USB port (USB Host, OTG), so connections via an OTG adapter to flash drives are not recognized. The navigation module supports both GPS and Glonass data and operates even more accurately, without any problems.

The testing did not prevent any minor re-engagement/disruption within an hour, as well as a malfunction or a frozen system. The LED notification sensor here modestly shines with a small white dot at the top left corner of the front panel, unobtrusively signaling the difference between the floors. The brightness sensor regulates the brightness level in automatic mode, but does not work at all correctly.

The decalization of letters and numbers on virtual keyboards is more difficult and not more comfortable for the user. The layout and layout of the keys is standard: you can change the layout here by pressing a special button with images of the globe next to the row of numbers seen - you need to immediately change the layout. The phone program supports Smart Dial, so you can dial quickly telephone number Search your contacts instantly.

OS and software

Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S runs on the Google Android software platform, not the latest version 4.3. A proprietary shell, stretched over the standard Android interface, here you can get a greatly redesigned and expanded functionality: adding sections to the settings menu, and the beginnings of gesture support, such as the ability to unlock the screen Kuvannyam. Zagalom, we already know everything about the previous models of the Idol series. The menu of add-ons in this interface is empty, most of the already installed add-ons are carefully arranged into thematic folders by the retailers themselves. Creation of folders/groups is encouraged on work tables.

As has already been said above, in our test laboratory there was a modification of the smartphone, branded specifically for the Beeline operator, with all sorts of results that can be derived from it. The interface of the smartphone is not only special with those familiar black-and-white gimmicks, but also with a lot of all sorts of branded add-ons, which in general is not of particular interest. However, it does not show any difficulties in turning from the outside looking in The interface is simpler, more calm in appearance. Our solution is to check all the capabilities of the device by first unblocking it, and miraculously working with SIM cards from other operators, and by registering with LTE measures.

Productivity

The Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S hardware platform will be based on a single-chip system (SoC) Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8226). central processor There are 4 ARM Cortex-A7 cores, which operate at a frequency of 1.2 GHz, although the maximum possible frequency is transferred to 1.6 GHz (SoC manufacturing technology is 28 nm). RAM The device has 1 GB, and the device, which is available to the public for acquiring old files, becomes close to 5 GB from the nominal value of 8 GB - the problem went to the system itself and add-ons. Memory can be increased by using microSD cards up to 32 GB. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to connect a flash drive via an OTG adapter - the device does not support this mode.

To eliminate statements about the productivity of the smartphone platform, we will conduct a standard set of tests. We have already tested devices based on SoC MSM8226: the most recent and last example is the LG G2 mini model, which will be based on the same platform. To equalize, we will take the results of the price of the platform itself, in addition to the slightly higher frequency of the cores (1.4 GHz, Asus Padfone E model), and also add the results of another similar platform such as Qualcomm - Snapdragon 200, which has cores Some things are exactly the same Viconan SoC based on 45 nm technology. This very new budget platform is called Snapdragon 200 (MSM8212), and we have tested it on an application Huawei smartphone Ascend G6, which is currently being advertised on TV, and a preview of which is also being prepared for release.

All the results we collected when testing the smartphone in the latest versions We have listed popular benchmarks for ease of use in the table. The table contains a number of other devices from different segments, as well as tests on similar remaining versions benchmarks (be careful not to make a scientific assessment of the dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one level it is not possible to reveal the results from different versions of benchmarks, so “behind the scenes” they will be deprived of a lot of current and current models - through those that at one time passed their “smug reshkod” on previous versions test programs

The test results show that the Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 SoC, based on a 28 nm process technology, is slightly superior to all parameters, compared to the Snapdragon 200 MSM8212 SoC, which manipulates the same cores, but not based on a 45 nm process technology. The results of the LG G2 mini turned out to be identical, which is logical, even though they have the same platforms, and the slightly faster cores of the Asus Padfone E showed a slight advantage, which is also entirely logical and consistent with our findings.

In general, based on the results of all tests, the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S smartphone can be safely classified as an average device, or a little more than average productivity. At the moment, the hardware productivity of this smartphone can be used to complete most of the tasks that can be installed on any games or other programs. Google Play Store.

Created video

To test the “university” of the created video (including support for different codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we have selected the widest possible formats, which will form the bulk of the content that is included in i. Dear, for mobile devices it is important to support hardware video decoding on the same chip, processing the fragments daily options For the shells themselves, without the processor cores, it is most often impossible. It’s also not possible to decode everything from a mobile device, since the leadership in flexibility lies with the PC, and no one is going to disgrace it. All results are consolidated into a single table.

For results Alcatel testing OneTouch Idol 2 mini S does not appear to be equipped with all the necessary decoders, including audio ones, which are necessary for the full creation of the largest number of files. For their successful development, you will need to seek the help of a third-party programmer - for example, MX Player. True, you will soon have to change the settings by switching from hardware decoding to the program or a new mode called Hardware+(Not all smartphones are supported), only sound will appear. All results are consolidated into a single table.

Format Container, video, sound MX Video Player Standard video player
DVDRip AVI, XviD 720×400 2200 Kbit/s, MP3+AC3 pretends to be normal pretends to be normal
Web-DL SD AVI, XviD 720×400 1400 Kbit/s, MP3+AC3 pretends to be normal pretends to be normal

BDRip 1080p MKV, H.264 1920×1080 8000 Kbps, AC3 appears normally with the decoder Hardware+ The video appears normally, there is no sound

¹ the sound of MX Video Player was only released after switching to the decoding program or to a new mode Hardware+; The standard player does not have such adjustments

The MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, was not detected in this smartphone; it was limited to tests of displaying images of video files on the screen of the device itself. For this purpose, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle to move one section per frame (section “Methodology for testing devices created and displaying a video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices)”). Taking pictures of the screen with a 1 second window helped to determine the nature of the display of frames of video files with different parameters: the separate content was varied (1280 by 720 (720p) and 1920 by 1080 (1080p) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 5 s). In our tests, we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware+” mode. The test results are summarized in a table:

good neither good neither good neither good neither

Note: In both cases Evennessі Crossroads green ratings are given, which means that, most of all, when watching films, artifacts appear due to uneven writing and skipping frames, or they will not be visible at all, or their volume and visibility Let’s take a look at the comfort. Red badges are indicated on possible problems associated with the created support files.

Based on the criterion for displaying frames, the quality of creating video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, some frames (or groups of frames) can be displayed at more or less equal intervals and with a few faults without frame overflow. When creating 720p and 1080p video files with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the images in the video file are displayed exactly across the screen. The range of brightness that is displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - all gradations of shades are displayed in shadows and highlights.

Hour of autonomous robot

The capacity of the lithium-ion battery installed in the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S is small for a daily smartphone (2000 mA per year). Prote for the test results of testing the buggy people without hitting them, demonstrating a great hour. autonomous robot In various standard scenarios there is a difference. The device has more direct competitors, besides mini-models from Samsung and LG - Korean current smartphones continue to demonstrate the best indicators of optimization in energy consumption.

Continuous reading with the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) for a minimum comfortable level of brightness (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) took up to 16 years until the battery was fully discharged. When continuously watching videos from YouTube in high vigor(HQ) with the same level of brightness through home trim The Wi-Fi device lasted for about 9 years, and in 3D gaming mode - about 4 years. The smartphone charges quickly: an hour of full charging does not exceed 2 years.

Pouch

What is the quality of the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S - and more precisely, the short configuration of this device (6036Y), with the help of LTE and NFC, which we tested, then the appearance of and a branded device of the domestic operator Beeline. This smartphone costs 7,990 rubles - it costs a thousand thousand more than the previous mini-model of the Alcatel Idol series, as actor Kostyantin Khabensky recently advertised on TV. Prote, this price seems to be quite reasonable for such a nice, compact, yet tough and technically inserted device of a solid middle grade. For small behind the world of ham market pennies, koristuvach extracts a very clear result of high-quality materials, non-interlocking assembly, productive hardware filling, a garnish for its peer screen of a thoughtful size, which allows I mean, the device itself will be deprived of a framework that is comfortable for the hand. It can be stated that quite a few “shovels” have begun to appear that are good and reliable for most people today. technical assistance mobile devices, such as the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and the even more affordable hero of today - the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 mini S smartphone.
