Highscreen Zera S: customer reviews and experts

A fairly advanced entry-level smartphone is the Highscreen Zera S. The feedback from the owners of the device, the technical specifications and hardware capabilities of this gadget is what will be discussed in this small article.

Equipment

This device is a budget class, as a result - the standard equipment Highscreen Zera S. Reviews say only the presence of charging, cord, speaker system and, of course, user instructions. The first and second accessories are equipped with illumination. And if the battery is fully charged, then they are blessed in blue, otherwise, that is, in the process of charging the battery - in red. But the stereo headset looks like Apple EarPods, but with the only difference is that the sound quality is far from ideal. Therefore, lovers of high-quality sound will necessarily have to acquire a good acoustic system. As for most similar devices, an external drive should be purchased separately.

Design, ergonomics and convenience of work

It is not an exception among the devices of the initial segment in terms of appearance and Highscreen Zera S BLACK. This is a classic candy bar with touch input capability. Its body is made of plastic, and the quality leaves much to be desired. The back of the gadget has a thin layer of paint, which is erased during use. To some extent this problem can be solved with the help of a cover-bumper, but it will have to be bought for an additional fee.

The physical control buttons of the device are located outside the box . The one that is responsible for locking the smartphone is on the left edge. But the swings of loudness are led to the opposite side and are located on the right side of the device. The familiar touch buttons fit harmoniously at the bottom of the front of the smart phone under the screen. The engineers did not forget about their illumination, and this makes it much easier to control the device in the dark.

CPU

The Highscreen Zera S phone is based on a processor that has already proved itself in the mobile device market - it's MT6582. Only here before gadgets that were completed with it, belonged to the middle segment, and now it is a budget device. It consists of four computational modules of the "A7" architecture, operating at 1.3 GHz in the peak computing mode. Unequivocally you can say that his hardware resources are enough for most everyday tasks. The only thing with which he definitely can not cope is the reproduction of video in the formats "2K" and "4K" or the most demanding three-dimensional toys of the latest generation.

Graphics card and graphics subsystem

The central part of the graphic subsystem is the video card Mali-400MP2. This is also a time-tested solution, which managed to prove itself well. It is this component that organizes the output of the image on the device screen. The standard display, like the entry level devices, is available for the Highscreen Zera S. Overview of its parameters and characteristics is not impressive, but for a similar device this is quite enough. The matrix, which is the basis of the display, is made according to one of the most advanced technologies to date - IPS. The resolution of the display is 540x960, and this is quite enough for high-quality output of the image on the screen: more than 16 million different color variations.

Photo and video

The main camera is based on a sensitive element of 5 Mp. Do not forget the developers about autofocus and LED backlight. But still the photos are not of the best quality. It is preferable to take a picture in good light. Then the result will be the best. A similar situation with the recording of videos from Highscreen Zera S BLACK. Reviews Point to impeccable technical specifications - shooting is conducted in HD-quality. But the work of the image stabilization system is far from ideal. There is also a front camera, the sensitive element of which is based on a 2 Mp matrix. It is great for making video calls on Skype or in mobile networks of the third generation. Well, for more of its hardware resources is not enough.

Memory

Unfortunately, an impressive amount of RAM can not boast a smartphone Highscreen Zera S. Reviews indicate that this device has 1 GB of RAM, and the capacity of the built-in drive is 4 GB. RAM, of course, can be less, for example 256 MB or 512 MB, but it is 1 GB - this is the minimum amount that allows you to run most applications and utilities to date. For the needs of the user in the built-in drive is allocated 2.5 GB, and the rest is occupied by the system software. A similar situation with RAM - about 500 MB is free, and they can be used at their discretion. The increased amount of free memory is explained simply enough: this device has a clean "Android" with a minimum number of applications and utilities. There are no additional programs that take up system resources.

Autonomy

One of the weakest points is the autonomy of Highscreen Zera S. Reviews About the battery indicate that its capacity (1800 mAh) will last for 1-2 days of operation with a mediocre load level. If this device is used more intensively, then this indicator will be reduced to eight hours. But in the mode of maximum energy saving you can stretch a maximum of 3 days with a minimum load on the device. The main problem is the lack of optimization of the system software. Accordingly, the performance of autonomous work on this gadget is less than that of similar devices.

Software

Smartphone Highscreen Zera S as the operating system uses the most popular platform for mobile devices to date - "Android" (version 4.2.2). Of course, this is already an outdated option for the current moment, but there should not be compatibility problems in the foreseeable future. Given the fact that the device was released a long time, there is no need to expect updates. In the rest on this device is installed a pure "Android", on top of which there are no superstructures. Among other things, you can highlight the availability of a standard set of utilities from "Google" and the usual built-in programs in the OS.

Communications

A familiar set of communications is present in Highscreen Zera S. Overview Hardware specifications of this device indicates the support of such wired and wireless ways of transferring information:

• To navigate in an unknown location, this mobile phone is equipped with GPS. If you install a program to determine the route on your smartphone (for example, "Navitel"), then this device can easily be turned into a full-featured GPS-navigator. There is also the possibility to determine the location using the "A-ZHPS" system (by the location of the towers of mobile communication), but in this case an internet connection is required.

• The most optimal way to download information from the global web with the help of "Wy-Fay". The peak bandwidth is 150 Mbps. But in practice this value is much lower. Nevertheless, the smartphone allows you to download and upload data in any amount.

• An alternative to the "Wi-Fi" is the module, which ensures the operation of the device in networks of the 2nd and 3rd generation. Only in this case the information will be loaded much longer. For "2Zh" the peak bandwidth is about 500 Mbit / s, and for "3Z" - 14.7 Mbit / s. In reality, these values will be, as in the previous case, significantly less. Therefore, this method is well suited for surfing the Internet resources, communicating in social networks and downloading or uploading files of small size.

• Another way to transfer information is the bluetooth. With it, you can transfer data to similar mobile devices in a small volume and for a short distance.

• There is a micro USB for connecting a backup external battery, as well as charging an internal battery.

• Another 3.5 mm port is designed to connect external speakers.

Opinion of specialists and owners

Now about the strengths and weaknesses of the Highscreen Zera S. Overview of its parameters indicates that this is a standard entry-level smartphone, that is, a budget device. The key parameter for this group of devices is the price, which at the moment is only 6500 rubles. A similar device based on a 4-nuclear CPU and with a diagonal of 4.5-inch display is almost impossible to find. This is what experts point out and the owners of the gadget.

Of course, Highscreen Zera S has certain disadvantages. Reviews about it once again This is confirmed. However, weak autonomy, a painted case and a small amount of built-in memory do not seem to be so significant defects in view of the characteristics, warranty and low price of the smartphone.
