Smartphone TurboPhone4G 2209: reviews, description, instruction

Budget gadgets will not be much fun, except their price. They have bad screens, mediocre communication modules, slow platform operation, weak battery cells, and besides, very often there are all kinds of loopholes, creaks and other moments peculiar to this segment.

Taking a new smartphone TurboPhone4G 2209, already on a subconscious level, you are ready to find in it the entire list listed above. Nevertheless, many cliches he managed to refute, and some, alas, to confirm.

First impressions

When the device is in the hands, it seems that you have some flagship of the year 2010 or even 2012. On the one hand, it seems to be a compliment, but on the other hand it's all the already boring form of a "soapbox". Some of this format is quite acceptable (it does not cut the arm around the edges), but it seems to somebody completely outdated and extremely unattractive, as, for example, with TurboPhone4G 2209. User reviews on this occasion vary greatly and are divided approximately equally, so this moment is better Leave it at the discretion of the future owner.

Functional buttons are located approximately in the same sequence as the sensational "Galaxy S3" - on the sides and exactly opposite to each other. The device is sitting well in the palm of your hand, and using it with one hand is quite comfortable. On the case there is no intelligent texture, so the gadget easily slips. Touch control is highlighted only at the moment of pressing and is not very typical - with a large interval, and the button "Back" for some reason was far to the right.

The review will be presented in the form of a certain ladder, that is, we will go down from the best to the worst.

Contents of delivery

The gadget goes in a pretty cute box of hard cardboard, where you can see a list of the main technical characteristics and the name of the smartphone itself. Packed all on conscience and any claims to the conveyor are not present.

Package Included:

• The smartphone itself;
• accumulator battery;
• A USB charger adapter;
• Cable for work with a personal computer;
• Stereo headset type minijack 3.5 mm;
• Warranty card for TurboPhone4G 2209;
• user's manual.

As for the dimensions of the gadget, they are standardized for five-inch models: 143.4 x 71.7 x 7.9 mm. Therefore, from the point of view of ergonomics everything is in order.

Connectivity

The device feels great at 4G speeds in the standard for GSM frequencies (1800 MHz) - a very thoughtful and cunning move of the company. The signal is stable even in "impenetrable" rooms. The only downside is the lack of support for old sim cards on 3G. The gadget is tightly "latched", so it only accepts cards operating at 1800 MHz, but this time is also found in more expensive devices, and not just with the budget-paid TurboPhone4G 2209.

Reviews on this occasion vary greatly: someone has been working at high speeds for a long time and has forgotten about the outdated connection to 3G, but someone needs this small speed for various reasons (lack of coverage, specific web surfing, etc. .). Nevertheless, the connection at the smartphone is qualitative and "punchy", which pleased many owners of the gadget.

Filling

The quad-core processor with a frequency of 1 GHz of the MTK6735 series is responsible for the performance of the device. Onboard there is 8 GB of internal memory and 1 GB of operative. For the budgetary TurboPhone4G 2209 (the price is about 5000 rubles) has quite an attractive set of characteristics. Yes, and in the case shows itself on the positive side: the application is processed fairly quickly and there have not been any serious slowdowns or friezes. Casual games, such as "Plants vs. Zombies 2" or Subway Surfers, run perfectly and work without problems.

Despite the fact that the internal memory of the smartphone is 8 GB, the user is only available 4.2 - the rest is reserved for system files for the correct functioning of the TurboPhone4G 2209. Responses of owners about this are very optimistic: the problem is solved by purchasing micro SD cards, All popular formats and volumes.

Screen

The model has very good screen characteristics for the budget: a 5-inch smartphone with a resolution of 960 by 540 pixels. And all this works on a modern IPS-matrix. The small screen width adds speed to the gadget, and a decent amount of brightness makes it easy to work on a sunny day.

The viewing angles do not differ well, and when the color turns violently, they begin to invert, and in different scales and depending on the side (vertical or horizontal rotation). Nevertheless, one can look through a photo or see a film in the company of one friend without any problems with the TurboPhone4G 2209. The owners' comments point to a significant drop in the responsiveness of the screen in the cold season, as well as the fact that the glossy surface of the display collects fingerprints and other dirt is very active, therefore Without a cover can not do.

Also worth noting that the non-standard screen resolution is not supported by any third-party player that you will need, due to the simplicity and unfriendliness of the built-in software. The maximum quality of the available picture in our case will be 480p. On the one hand, maybe it's good - more battery will survive, but on the other - you want a better picture, after all, a smartphone is 5 inches, and in the yard of 2016 with FullHD-realities.

Autonomous work

The battery for 2000 mAh is clearly small, especially considering how much space it occupies in the body of the gadget. Even with a modest operation of the device (calls, SMS, a couple of times on the Internet to look), he will live a maximum of 24 hours.

The active use of the gadget, like watching the video in the maximum resolution, will put it in two hours, that is, one movie is enough to watch. Wander through the Internet pages more than three or four hours will not work.

Camera

The last point that is able to disappoint. The device is equipped with a front camera at 2 megapixels and a main camera with 5 megapixels. Before, during and after shooting you will be tormented with artifacts, friezes, lack of any explanatory settings, it is unclear how to distort the picture even under ideal lighting, etc. Probably, the only thing that this camera will do is the avatars.

Summarizing

Branded gadgets, which is TurboPhone4G 2209, now very much. They are overwhelmed with almost all the famous distribution networks. Some companies manage to place their products in an even more modest segment than "up to 5000", with almost the same capabilities of devices. The same MTS, "Beeline" and "Megaphone" flooded with their devices shop counters. But in defense of the respondent, we can say that, unlike the aforementioned venerable representatives of the market, the TurboPhone4G 2209 does not suffer from a peculiar corporate design and an incomprehensible interface.

The audience of the smartphone is students, schoolchildren or any other consumer without any claims to performance, watching videos in high definition and battery life. In the rest it is quite a successful and high-quality model with good communication capabilities.
