"Beeline Smart 2": specifications, firmware, unlock

Under this brand is hiding the phone ZTE-V811, and it attracts a large number of people at its price. At the same time, "Beeline Smart 2" has very good characteristics, and for the most part and superior parameters of other devices of the appropriate price category. Despite the fact that this phone is locked for use only on the SIM card "Beeline", it can be flashed, then used with the SIM cards of other mobile operators.

«Beeline Smart 2»: the main characteristics

If you buy a phone on the stock from the operator, this does not mean that it will be of poor quality. The practice of buying a phone with a contract with an operator came to us from America. There for such stocks you can buy an IPhone for a third of the price. For example, the model 5S treats the contract for only 199 dollars. However, our contracts are concluded for an unlimited period, and operators are asked to pay a fee several months in advance.

When considering Beeline Smart 2, its characteristics can be estimated as quite acceptable. For the price that you had to pay for the device along with the subscription fee, you get a smartphone with a four-inch touch screen.

The display on this device is quite clear and displays 16 million colors in the resolution of 800 to 480. Of the positive qualities of this display, you can also name a good viewing angle. You can set the brightness, which will be most comfortable. In general, the display is a strong point of this device. The sensor multitouch-system responds immediately, you do not have to press it several times, which also can not but rejoice. The phone is comfortable in the hand and has a light weight - only 124 grams. As a disadvantage, you can specify only the granular surface of the back cover of the case. Essential defect is considered only by those who do not like this design. Meanwhile, such a cover helps to hold the phone. The fillings of "Beeline Smart 2" characteristics are also quite good for its price category. First of all, a good dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.2 gigahertz. With it, you can easily visit pages on the Internet, view photos and videos (including from the network). Just 512 MB of RAM, but when working with ordinary applications that do not require high performance, this resource is enough, and the gadget responds very quickly.

Built-in media

The internal memory of the smartphone is only 4 GB, but this is enough for a small number of non-heavy applications. To store information, for example music, you can put an SD-card with a capacity of up to 32 GB. Also on the card, you can store photos that are taken with a 3 megapixel camera without a flash. With the help of "Beeline Smart 2" photo quality can be made quite acceptable, despite the small number of pixels. In the application that is responsible for the operation of the camera, you can select different settings as desired.

What options does the standard "Beeline Smart 2" firmware have?

In order to make it more convenient for the user to work with the Beeline network, special applications are preinstalled in the smartphone. Among them there is an antivirus program from Eset, which you will get for free. There are also applications developed by Beeline specialists. With their help you can change the beep, listen to music and connect services.

Many people want to change the standard firmware to make the smartphone acquire new qualities, and it's possible to do it, but nobody can guarantee stable operation after this manipulation.

Separately it is worth noting the option "Mobile TV", which goes with the rest of the programs. When the smartphone only connects to the video stream, the image and sound slow down a little, but after a few seconds the TV starts to show no worse than the satellite one.

How to unlock "Smart 2 Beeline"

If you want to work with the SIM of another operator, then ZTE provides for the introduction of a phone unlock code, which can be purchased separately. This is done through the official website of the manufacturer. There you can contact through intermediaries (there are several sites from which it is worth choosing proven).

NSK

The code will not be given to you at once, in some cases it will be necessary to wait up to 4 days. The fact is that it is obtained with the help of the official manufacturer base. The price of the NSK code is also due to the fact that everything is officially done, and the manufacturer also provides the code for a fee. At the same time, from an economic point of view, it is more advantageous if unlocking occurs on the Beeline Smart 2 using code.

It does not require labor. At the same time, most of the amount that you will be asked to pay for a new phone in the operator's communication cabin is provided by communication services. If you add up the amount that you give for the smartphone itself and the price of the code, then in any case it will be more profitable than buying a device that can be used with other cards.
