In China, it has long been engaged indevelopment and release of mass production of smartphones, however for a certain time the company wore such names as Sasung, Nokla and the like. In terms of price and performance, such devices had a mass of declared advantages compared to phones of those times, because for only $ 50 it was possible to easily purchase a mobile phone with a touchscreen color screen that supports several SIM cards simultaneously, and also equipped with a built-in TV tuner (which often was their main advantage).
In fact, everything happened absolutely differently, thenthere are phones for a very short time could maintain the battery charge, the screens differed resistivity and extremely hard to perceive the pressing, and the overall interface was far from the best work, not to mention even the quality of the translation. All this was extremely sad, against the backdrop of the fact that, if repairs were necessary, almost no workshop even thought of taking such a phone for repair. At that time, many people refused to buy Chinese mobile phones.
What changed?
After the operating system appearedAndroid, as well as much cheaper in the performance of mobile processors and screens, the situation has changed significantly. A typical device design scheme, as well as the availability of an already-ready operating system, provided an opportunity to substantially reduce overall costs and subsequently send them to increase the quality of manufactured smartphones while maintaining a fairly low cost.
Especially the situation changed aftercame out DooGee Valencia DG800, which is very good technical characteristics both in description and in practice, marked by the majority of users of this smartphone.
Equipment
A standard device is presentan additional white back panel, battery, screen film, charger, cable for connection to a computer, a headset, as well as instructions, made entirely in English. Immediately it is worth mentioning that the headset for the DooGee Valencia DG800 is of very poor quality, so many users recommend immediately to get yourself something new. At the same time, the charging and the cable for connection to the computer demonstrate good performance and the same appearance. On the USB lanyard there is a special fastener, which makes it convenient to carry the cable without fear that it will become entangled.
The additional back cover is quite interesting, but more about it will be said in the sequel.
Appearance
Despite the fact that the device was manufacturedChinese brand, and also in the budget price category, the DooGee Valencia DG800 is quite attractive and in many ways even unique in design. If necessary, the user can always choose the most optimal option among the six available colors.
Screen with a diagonal 4.5 inches is quite standard today, but the smartphone DooGee Valencia DG800 is quite modest in size, which makes it extremely easy to keep it in your hand. Considering the small thickness of the case of this device, it can easily be worn even in the pocket of jeans, without experiencing any discomfort.
Housing
The front panel is made of plastic, butwhile immediately it is worth noting the fact that you should not be afraid of scratches on the case of DooGee Valencia DG800, as in the standard kit comes two protective films. Around the front panel there is a barely perceptible silver border, which protects the screen from scratches in case the device will be screened down.
Under the screen there are functionalsilver touch buttons, but, unfortunately, there is no backlight in them. At the same time, it deserves special attention that manufacturers of DooGee Valencia DG800 envisaged an offset from the side and bottom edges so that during operation of this device it is possible to completely exclude any random operation of certain functions or making calls.
Above the screen you can see the front camera, the talking speaker, as well as a sensor of light and proximity.
Back Touch
In addition to the standard lid includedThere is also a specialized Back Touch panel. Such a product is made of white plastic and is equipped with a small rectangular touch area. If you touch this area, you get the same effect as when touching the touch screen, so you can use it to surf the Internet or perform some other action. Such devices work quite simply, but the DooGee DG800 Valencia reviews say that few people have found any practical application of this function.
Screen and its characteristics
As already mentioned above, the diagonal of the screenis 4.5 inches, and its resolution at the same time is 540x960 pixels. Such a high definition of the screen is just perfect for such a diagonal, and hardly anyone will be able to see the individual pixels with the naked eye. Color rendition is quite high truthfulness, and the quality of performance, this screen is almost inferior to the flagship models from the famous brands of its time. Even if you look at the screen at the maximum possible viewing angles, the colors will not fade or change their hue.
Due to a sufficiently high level of brightness,This smartphone can be used even if it receives direct sunlight, but many users say that the phone DooGee Valencia DG800 is too high a threshold of minimum brightness. In the event that there is absolutely no external lighting, too long use of this smartphone starts to cause some discomfort.
Touchscreen
Also superficial for the DooGee DG800 Valenciathe review showed that there is no oleophobic coating on the front panel, so that fingerprints accumulate on the screen quite actively. Multitouch at the same time is quite sensitive, that is, it quickly and clearly reacts to touch, although it provides the possibility of no more than two simultaneous clicks. The sensor, which provides automatic brightness adjustment, is distinguished by a fairly smooth operation.
System
The operation of this device is based onusing the operating system "Android". In fact, the system is used in this case as standard, that is, there is a traditional interface, a keyboard, and any applications initially display a design from Google. The only notable change in appearance is the stock set of standard icons, as a result of which all of them were stylized under MIUI.
In addition to standard applications, developersThis smartphone has added a single program Assistive touch, through which you can configure gestures to enable certain applications. However, it is worth noting that many users have noticed the insignificant practicality of using this application.
Firmware
The use of standard firmware is widely believeda good solution, because even in this version of the operating system is very stable and has a lot of features. Practice suggests that the introduction of any of their own modifications and inventions, especially from little-known manufacturers, rarely ends well.
The firmware provides an opportunityupdates through OTA, which is quite a rare phenomenon among Chinese smartphones. Thus, if a new firmware update is released, it will be necessary to simply go somewhere online via Wi-Fi and press a single button that starts a fully automatic update of the device.
Sensor settings
In the settings you can find Back Touch, where the main parameters of the button located at the back of the screen are set. You can adjust the parameters of the following items:
- Click. If the camera application is in the active state, the standard press allows you to take a picture.
- Long Press. If the camera application is started, in case of a long press, the camera switches from the front camera to the main camera or vice versa.
- Double Click. Opens a specific application or ends the current conversation.
- Double Click to open application. In this column, you can select an application that opens when you double-click the back button.
Battery
Again, unlike the advantageousmost modern Chinese smartphones, the developers decided to use only one battery, while the standard is completed with two. During the tests it was determined that during the constant surfing of the Internet pages, the DooGee DG800 Valencia battery runs for five and a half hours. It should be noted that this is a rather modest result, since the claimed capacity of this battery is 2000 mAh, therefore, by additional studies it was determined that the real capacity reaches only 1500 mAh. The difference between this device and similar models with a capacity of 2000 mAh can be felt even in weight.
However, in any case, such a result isit is quite optimal for a modern budget class device (considering that the price for DooGee Valencia DG800 is on average 5500 rubles), since even in the case of active use of the device's charge it will be enough for one day.
Camera
Separate attention deserves camerasdevice. The standard camera has a very solid 13 MP for its segment and is characterized by a sufficiently high-quality photography, but more surprising is the front camera, which, with its 8 MP, also has a good photo quality. It's enough just to open a case with DooGee DG800 Valencia, get out the device and take a few pictures in order to make sure of the high quality of the camera from one and the other side.
