Now the phone with a hybrid type radiorarity. Somewhat paradoxical, yes, since progress has already gone far enough. We use touch-screen smartphones, the diagonal of which has already reached six inches, surfing the Internet at tremendous speeds, play games on phones that previously could only be run on stationary computers, but cannot in any way promote hybrid devices to the market and as a telephone, and as a walkie-talkie.
Why?
Phone with a walkie-talkie - the device is not soexpensive Rather, the matter lies in the demand. Although it can be said that in previous years the principle called Push to Talk was used. It is designed to work in the radio mode, but only in the presence of a cellular signal. But the phone with a walkie-talkie, which would really work in the civilian range, for some reason became a headache. The scope of such devices is great, if you think about it. The same fishing and hiking in the woods, sports activities, walks in the parks.
Advantages and disadvantages
Phone with a walkie-talkie is able to provide communication betweensubscribers even where there is no coverage of the ordinary cellular network. The declared distance is two kilometers. But do not forget that it is valid only for open areas. In urban conditions with a high density of buildings and other elements, the distance will be reduced. Still, a telephone with a walkie-talkie will have some advantages over a conventional device. Today we will deal with the category “non-killing phones”, namely, let's talk about the Senseit P8 model. This is a "work of art" of the Russian company of the same name.
Specifications
It is clear that “non-killed phones” are no different.special indicators. Not for this purpose they were created to show off beyond technical characteristics. But nevertheless, what does this telephone set have? It has a screen with a diagonal of 2.4 inches. At the same time the resolution of the display is 320 by 240 pixels. There is a camera. Its resolution is 2 megapixels. SIM cards can be installed two, they should be of ordinary format. The lithium-ion battery is rated for a capacity of 2,000 milliamp-hours. In talk mode, the battery can withstand 12 hours. The mass of the device is 180 grams.
Exterior
Protected phones with a walkie-talkie just enoughlearn by their appearance. Senseit P8 is no exception to this rule. The device is a structure painted in black and yellow. Overall dimensions are as follows: the device reaches 132 millimeters in height, 68 and 20 mm in width and thickness, respectively. The height will automatically increase by 6.5 millimeters when the antenna is integrated. With such dimensions, the phone can not be conveniently placed in the pocket of ordinary clothes. However, in the “gait” he will not interfere.
Mountings
This mobile phone with a walkie-talkie is equipped with a specialClip, which is located on the back of the device. The clip is made of plastic. Someone might think that this is a significant drawback, but tests have shown that it is quite reliable. The phone will not accidentally fly off from the mount. But if you need to remove it, then it is easier to implement. Before this, of course, it will be necessary to practice a little and understand how to do it, but then it will be easy. For the clip in the case of the developers twisted the puck. It has considerable size. In fact, the phone is on it. If you put the device in your pocket, you can feel how the puck rests. For some, the clip is just an annoying hindrance, and people are not going to use it. Well, in this case, you can remove the holder with a screwdriver. And then the protruding parts will disappear, and the body will become smooth. In this regard, it would be better to have a Ginzzu walkie-talkie.
Protection
As stated at the beginning of the article, the mass of the apparatusmakes 180 grams. For many models, these parameters are standard. The device is protected only by the standard IP56. The device must not be drowned in water. Another thing, if he just fell into the water. However, after that it must be immediately pulled out. It seems that problems should not arise with further work, but for some reason the manufacturer refrained from commenting. It does not inspire confidence, to be honest.
Arrangement of elements
At the top you can find the SOS button.It can also be programmed to send emergency calls to a particular number. The button has a tight turn, just to press it will not work. Already well, since the occasional pressure is excluded at the root. On the left side is a connector for connecting a miniUSB format cable. There is also a charging port and, of course, a jack for a 3.5 mm wired headset. On the opposite side there are buttons designed to change the volume, as well as the radio button.
Back side
This mobile phone with a walkie talkie is reallyreplete with screws. At least look at the back cover. It is attached to the surface with two appropriate elements. By the way, the turning screws can be opened with an ordinary coin. The back cover fits snugly enough. Remove it will not be as easy as it may seem. Even after the screws have been loosened, it should be pulled over the recess. Some object will be needed here, since it is almost impossible to do this using just a finger.
Design
In general, it certainly causes mixed feelings.On the one hand, the manufacturer sacrificed the protection of the device, but added another battery. Using a walkie-talkie is very important. The radio itself consumes a considerable amount of charge. But on the other hand, thanks to this design, opening the case quickly will not work. And this is already a minus, because quickly changing the battery is not an option. A clear advantage is the absence of a protective grid near the speaker, as its volume automatically increases. Thus, the phone is audible in any, even inappropriate conditions. Moreover, this rule applies to voice calls, and directly to telephone conversations.
Conclusion and feedback
What do customers say this device?First of all, among the advantages of the device, they highlight a very loud call. It is simply impossible not to distinguish. Even if there is real urban chaos around. Not bad and vibrating alert. In general, the decision to abandon the protective grid when planning the dynamics went, as they say, only to the benefit. With the connection, everything is fine, there are no complaints about this parameter. Among the shortcomings was the inability to quickly replace the battery (hello to the unsuccessful design and its developers), a weak battery and a camera, which you should not take pictures at all. Although did we expect anything else from a walkie-talkie? The rest of the device does not need, we presented it completely. The cost of the device currently is 7 500 rubles.
