Mobile phone Fly FF241: customer reviews

British company Fly has been supplying mobile phones to the international market for several years. Today we will talk about the button company creations. The British manufacturer in due time has let out phone Fly FF241, responses about which for today have already bypassed all international network. Actually, this apparatus will be discussed today. Today, we will change the course a little, skipping the history of creating the device. Passing this step, we will pass immediately to a review of technical capabilities and features. So, what can we offer a mobile phone Fly FF241, reviews about which you can find at the end of this article?

Brief specifications

The device supports two SIM cards. They can work simultaneously in standby mode. Logically, at one and the same time, only one of them can be used for a voice call. In this case, the call itself can be made from an arbitrary SIM card, which also concerns sending text and multimedia messages containing photos, video clips and audio files.

As an operating system on board the subject of our today's review, an OS of the family called Nucleus is installed. This is the own development of the British mobile phone manufacturer, which is integrated into the service environment of some devices. The phone has a lithium-ion battery, the capacity of which is about 2750 milliamps per hour. For a device that is designed to use standard functionality as the device (and it's about exchanging text and multimedia messages, as well as making voice calls), this is a very, very good indicator that it is impossible not to mention. Thus, in standby mode, the phone will be able to work for several days without additional charging.

The processor is represented by the MTK6261 D chipset. Its clock frequency (or rather, the maximum value) can reach 260 MHz. If we were talking about a smartphone, then this would be critically small. But this is a different class of devices. Namely about a mobile phone. Therefore, we can safely say that the clock speed of the processor is enough to ensure that the average user remained satisfied. Yes, by the way, we note that there is only one core in the chipset.

Dimensions, dimensions, design

One of the most popular variations on the market was the mobile phone Fly FF241 Black. Reviews once again confirm this fact. At the same time, the device was presented to a potential buyer in two colors. The mini-competitor of the designated model - Fly FF241 White, whose reviews allow us to propose that this variant will be much better in terms of acquisition. The thing is that the materials of the case manufacture for these two models have the same characteristics of impact resistance and resistance to mechanical wear. Which, by the way, is not very happy. The body will remain fingerprints, but in white they will be less noticeable than on black. Actually, it's always so, and, probably, that is why many users make a choice in favor of the corresponding devices.

In three- dimensional space, the dimensions of the apparatus are as follows. In height, the device reaches 126 millimeters, in width - only 51, and in thickness - 14.3 mm. If today we were analyzing the characteristics of a smartphone, then such dimensions would become one of the most important factors that would alienate a huge number of potential buyers. You can logically wonder why this is so. In fact, everything is quite simple. In the smartphone market, almost all manufacturers pursue the same goal: to make your device as efficient as possible and as thin as possible. It's no wonder that Apple's new device has undergone significant changes in thickness compared to its predecessors.

So, let's not forget that today we are talking directly about the mobile phone. And for devices of this class and segment, a large thickness is not uncommon. In conclusion of this microtheme we add that the mass of the apparatus does not exceed with its dimensions 119 grams. If you go back to the color design, then nothing can be said. Everything is very simple, cheap and boring: the device was designed in classic colors. Only black and white, and more - nothing.

Display

The screen resolution of the subject of our today's review is 240 by 320 pixels. Thus, we can say that the screen is displayed on the screen in the so-called QVGA quality. The device matrix is made using TN technology. Diagonal display is almost two and a half inches. If to be a little more precise, then 2.4. As expected, there is no touch screen. Which, in principle, is logical for a button-type device. Screen Fly FF241, reviews about which appeared on the network almost immediately after the device on the international arena, is made of organic glass. There are no additional coatings or layers. Special protection is not provided. Therefore, we advise users to handle the phone as carefully as possible.

Memory

Here in general, everything is very bad. The built-in memory is only 32 megabytes. The same number and ROM. Cell phone Fly FF241, reviews of which the reader will be able to explore at the end of our review, supports external storage. But only in one format. It's not even about MicroSD, but about MicroSDHC. The maximum supported memory card size of this type is 32 gigabytes. The software of the device has built-in function as a flash drive.

Communication and wireless networks

The phone works in GSM bands. However, he does not support mobile networks of the third generation. The same is true for UMTS, HSDPA standards. Was it worth saying that there is no LTE module in the phone? Probably, this is understandable. How can you talk about working with cellular networks of the fourth generation, if not even the third one works? This would be a real nonsense. The device does not have a Wi-Fi module, so you can not connect to wireless networks. The modem also does not exist, so you can not use the phone as an access point.

The phone does not support operation in the EDGE and GPRS bands, therefore it is not possible to work in the international network at high speed. It can be implemented only on the basis of the WAP standard. But, as they say, something is better than nothing at all. The device can not connect an external 3G modem, but it's understandable.

Camera

Only the main camera module is present. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixels. Front camera is missing. The main module can record video clips in the resolution of 240 by 320 pixels. Thus, the quality will correspond to the quality of the picture output on the screen of the phone itself. Recall that it is called QVGA. An interesting fact is that near the main camera module the British manufacturer decided to install an LED flash. It can also be used as a flashlight, if you use the appropriate software. As expected, the camera does not have the camera's auto focus function. Nevertheless, there is a digital zoom, which, at least in some way, makes it easier to handle the device. In some situations, it can be very handy.

Multimedia features

In the device as a software media player is installed. It plays audio files that have formats such as MP3 and WAW. It is also possible to play files with AMR and AAC permissions. The penultimate format is the recordings made on the voice recorder of the mobile phone, while the others are typical for ordinary audio files, songs and melodies.

There are no advanced playback settings for the owner of the phone. It is, for example, an equalizer. The subject of our today's review does not in any way draw the title of a musical device, so the lack of such settings, in principle, should not be surprising. For this there is, for example, the "Nokia Express Music". That's where there is, where to turn around! To loop the moments in the songs to play only the corresponding gaps is also not possible. Playlists are not created. Here it can already be inconvenient.

Conclusion and feedback

As promised at the very beginning of the article, at the end of the review we give in the generalized form the words of the owners of the phone. What can they tell us? Based on several dozen reviews, you can draw one clear conclusion: if you are looking for a device that will be equipped with a powerful speaker, have a really capacious and efficient battery, and in the additional function there will be support for two SIM cards, then this model is ideal for you!

These three parameters are most often indicated in the positive responses of the owners. Among other advantages - the ability to quickly turn on the record in a telephone conversation, as well as the possibility of just two clicks to send the annoying subscriber to the black list, permanently prohibiting him from making calls to your number. Sometimes this function is especially convenient.

Minuses

Out of the shortcomings is the size of the device. Mostly, we are talking about the thickness of the phone. The next "shovel" was obtained from the British developer. It has been repeatedly noted by specialists that the form factor in the form of a slider would have much better suited in this case than a monoblock. And in general, the same can be said for any mobile phone, the screen diagonal of which exceeds two inches.
