Entry-level smartphones with familiartechnical specifications and a curved touchscreen - this is the LG Magna. Reviews about it, its capabilities and parameters, the autonomy of this device - this is what will be described further in the text. There will also be given the strengths and weaknesses of this gadget, on the basis of which in the future will be made recommendations regarding its purchase.
Who is this device for?
Weak hardware stuffing relates this device toentry level solutions. But at the same time, against the background of analogs, it has one important feature - it is a curved screen. It is for her that the potential owner of this device will have to overpay. There are several color options for the design of the body of this gadget. The most interesting of these is the LG Magna Titan. Reviews most often it is such his performance emit. Therefore, this device is designed for those who want to get a stylish unusual device with a curved screen. But at the same time, high performance is not necessary for solving potential problems. It is for such potential owners that this device was created.
What comes with a smartphone?
The habitual bundle boasts smartphone LG Magna H502F. Reviews indicate the presence of such components:
- Smartphone with a removable battery inserted inside.
- Operating documentation.
- Charging adapter.
- Interface cord.
- Warranty card.
The cover, protective film and flash card owner of this gadget will have to be bought separately and, of course, for an additional fee.
Smartphone ergonomics
Curved touchscreen display is the main thingwhich this device can boast. Its diagonal is 5 inches. The bottom of the display is occupied by four control buttons. In addition to the three standard buttons ("Home", "Back" and, of course, the "Menu") there is also a button that switches between the SIM cards. Even lower, on a strip of plastic, is the logo of the manufacturer. In the upper part of the gadget there are: a speaker, sensory elements and a small eye of the front camera. On the top edge there is an audio port connector, and on the bottom edge there is a micro USB port. On the back cover there is a peephole of the main camera, its LED lights, the manufacturer's logo, a loud speaker, volume buttons and device lock buttons. Although it is made of plastic, it looks like it is made of metal. The most interesting in this regard is the smartphone LG Magna H502F Titan. Reviews highlight this particular color scheme of this gadget.
And what about the processor?
Time-tested CPUused in LG Magna. Reviews of MT6582 (namely this chip is used in this gadget) confirm this. Its distinguishing feature is a very high degree of reliability. Smartphones based on it have been in use for more than one year and have characterized it only from the best side. Another plus is excellent energy efficiency. Unused computing powers are turned off when idle, and modules that do not need the maximum level of performance automatically reduce their clock frequency to 300 MHz. But the disadvantages include a low level of performance. The structure of this semiconductor crystal includes four computational modules of the “A7” architecture. Each of them can accelerate to solve the most complex tasks up to 1.3 GHz. The chip itself is manufactured using the 28nm process technology. The capabilities of this chip are quite enough to solve most everyday tasks. The exception to it is the most demanding applications of the latest generation, which are based on 64-bit computing. This CPU can process only one 32 bits of information. Hence the problems with the launch of the new software.
Display and video accelerator
Изогнутый сенсорный дисплей – это основная zest, which can boast the smartphone LG Magna. Reviews point to this feature. Such a constructive decision in practice should facilitate the process of controlling this apparatus. But here it has a very small bend (its radius is 3 mm). That is, to visually notice this feature of this device is not so simple. The diagonal of the screen in this gadget is 5 inches. Its resolution is 1280x720. That is, the picture on the screen is displayed in the format of 720 p. The display matrix is manufactured using the most advanced technology currently available - IPS. Allows you to significantly improve the color reproduction of the device, and also improves the autonomy of the device. Another feature of this screen is the complete absence of an air gap between the surface of the display matrix and the touch panel. This further improves the image quality. But for the processing of graphic information in this device the graphic accelerator Mali-400MP2 is used. This is a time-tested solution that boasts reliability and energy efficiency. But with the performance of his problems. When solving problems of primary and secondary levels, there are no questions for it. But with the most demanding software of the last generation there will definitely be problems.
Cameras
Enough high-quality main camera at 8 megapixelLG Magna H502F. Reviews highlight the quality of the photos obtained with its help. But immediately it should be noted: to obtain truly high-quality photos, a normal level of lighting is necessary. Although there is a single LED backlight in this device, its capabilities are extremely limited. Among other features of the main camera, it is necessary to note the presence of the autofocus system. She records videos in 1080p format (that is, in 1920x1080 resolution). The quality of them is quite good at a normal level of illumination. The front camera is based on a 5 megapixel sensor element. It has expanded viewing angles, there is a LED backlight. This allows using it to make very high quality selfies. Well, with such a simpler task, like video calls, it generally does an excellent job. Another "chip" front camera is the ability to control using gestures or keywords.
Information storage subsystem
1 GB of RAM most common onToday DDR3 standard installed in the phone LG Magna. Reviews indicate that about 700 MB of them are occupied by the operating system and its processes. Somehow reduce this value will not work. Therefore, the user can count on only 300 MB. For 2-3 tasks of the initial level this will be quite enough. Well, for the most demanding of modern applications, these 300 MB will be clearly not enough. Therefore, to count on playing on this gadget in "Asphalt 8" is not necessary. The capacity of the built-in drive is 8GB. About half of them (that is, about 4GB) can be used by the user to install software or to store personal data. There is also a slot for installing a flash card. Its maximum capacity can be in this case 32 GB. If the capacity of the built-in storage device and external flash card is small, then it is most efficient to use free cloud services to store the most valuable personal information (for example, photos or videos).
Battery
Емкостью аккумулятора в 2540 мАч может brag LG Magna H502F. Reviews clearly indicate that this battery capacity lasts for 2-3 days of work with an average level of load on the gadget. If you activate the maximum power saving mode, you can count on 4 days of confident and stable operation of the device. Well, in the case of maximum load on a smartphone, one battery charge will be enough for 7-9 hours. As a result, it can be noted that in terms of autonomy, this device is nothing special stands out from the competition. A specific solution that will significantly increase the battery life of this device may be the purchase of an additional external battery. This will allow you to avoid problems with discharging the battery at the most inappropriate moment.
Interface set
An impressive set of communication tools installed in the smartphone LG Magna H502. Reviews highlight such ones:
- The device fully supports all existing mobile networks, that is, GSM (or 2G), 3G and LTE (the second name of this 4G standard).
- In the gadget is bluetooth.This transmitter allows you to connect an external wireless speaker system to your smartphone. Also, it can be used to exchange small files with a similar mobile device.
- Also, this device is equipped with a Wi-Fi transmitter.This is the main way to receive and send data to the global web. In this case, the speed can reach impressive today 150 Mbit / s.
- Navigation system in this smart phoneuses two methods at once to determine its location. The first one is GPS. It uses a signal from satellites and allows you to accurately determine the location of the device. The second is A-GPS. In this case, you must be sure to connect to the Internet.
- The main wireless port is micro USB. It charges the device and synchronizes with the computer.
- Among other things, there is also an audio port. It outputs an audio signal to an external stereo system. Also, if there is a corresponding plug, it can receive a sound signal from an external microphone.
Software
«Андроид» одной из наиболее свежих версий - 5.0 - installed out of the box on the LG Magna H502. Reviews highlight this feature of this "smart" phone. Only here all the features of this version of the system software is completely impossible to fully disclose on such hardware. The operating system is designed for installation on the most recent versions of central processors, which would be based at least on the A53 architecture with support for 64-bit applications. In the same smartphone is installed MT6582 with A7 architecture and support only 32-bit applications. Simply put, the most new programs optimized for 64-bit applications will not run on this device, although the software allows this.
Gadget price for today
Изначально стоимость на устройства данной серии was 240-250 dollars. Against the background of direct competitors with the usual display, this cost was really inflated. Now, after a year and a half from the start of sales, the price has dropped to $ 180 on the LG Magna Titan. Reviews, however, still indicate that the cost of the device continues to be too high. The key highlight of this gadget is its curved screen. And visually notice this bend is very difficult. Overpaying for such an innovation is not entirely reasonable. It is better to buy a device with a conventional display and similar characteristics. Moreover, its cost will be only 80-100 dollars, which is almost two times lower than the current one.
Reviews
Anyway, the high price is the mainflaw LG Magna. Reviews often point to this. For such hardware and software to lay out 180 dollars - that's a lot. Even the highlight of this gadget - the curved screen - does not compensate for this high cost. The second significant drawback is the lack of support for 64-bit applications. This restriction, as noted earlier, due to the model of the CPU, and somehow it will not work around. Otherwise, this is a pretty good entry-level smartphone. It has a powerful central processor, a large touch screen diagonal, an acceptable degree of autonomy - everything in this smartphone is well balanced and functions perfectly. This is once again confirmed by the reviews of the owners of this gadget.
Outcomes
Hardware and software components complaintsDo not call in LG Magna. Reviews really characterize in this regard, this gadget only from the good side. But the price is very high. And this minus is not exactly compensated by the curved screen.
