Вкратце можно сказать, что смартфон Explay Dream It has quite good characteristics for the device of the "second echelon". It has everything you need for comfortable work, making calls, opening applications and games, using the Internet. A little frustrating the lack of ability to expand memory and a weak battery for such a gadget.
Equipment
Поставляется устройство в небольшой картонной packaging. Lifting the lid, you will see a smartphone. On its screen there is a film with brief characteristics of the device. Below, under the cardboard stand, there are additional accessories in the form of a charger, clips for removing SIM-cards, USB-cable, standard wired headset, user manual and warranty. Amateurs and experts note that all components are laid neatly and tightly, which guarantees their integrity.
Design and appearance
Explay Dream smartphone makes you feel like a copyfamous manufacturers. The same typical form factor "shovel", rounded edges and the lack of hardware buttons on the front of the device. The frame around the screen is quite small (about 4 mm). Thanks to the rounded back, the 9.4 mm thickness of the smartphone is invisible. It would be possible for the manufacturer to slightly reduce the height of the device, but these are trifles.
The back cover is not removable, as is the battery. Above is the main camera's peephole at 13 megapixels and flash. Below built speaker. The inscriptions are of high quality.
The bottom end has a headphone output and a microphone. The upper edge has only a micro-USB socket, with which the device is charged and synchronized with the computer.
The left side has slots for SIM cards, and the right one has volume and lock-off buttons.
When mechanically acting, the build quality is noticeably high, as there are no backlashes and squeaks. Everything is pretty simple and durable.
Display
Explay Dream Blue имеет в своем распоряжении high-quality five-inch IPS-matrix with high resolution and a capacitive sensor. The display boasts not only this, but also natural color reproduction with high contrast. Even with sunlight, you can easily distinguish the picture on it. This is very good for a budget line smartphone.
On top of the screen itself is a protectiveglass called Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is resistant to mechanical damage and scratches. But the oleophobic coating is not here. For this reason, the screen quickly becomes dirty.
Performance
So we got to the "heart" Explay Dream. The performance review has always been paramount, because smartphones running Android OS are not just for beauty.
Итак, на Explay Dream установлен уже всем familiar quad-core processor called MTK 6589T. In addition, it was slightly “overclocked” from 1.2 to 1.5 GHz. Also, this smartphone uses a graphics accelerator model PowerVR SGX 544MP. It is not enough for heavy graphics, but it draws ordinary games without interruptions and jerks of the picture. 2 GB of RAM is enough for a quick response device. It is worth noting that when idle it has 1.4 GB of free space.
As a result of testing with various utilitiesNo problems were found, and in terms of performance, the gadget did not reach the “Google” brainchild of Nexus 4 a bit. During operation, the smartphone heated up to 40 degrees Celsius, which is quite normal.
Autonomous work
What about battery Explay Dreamusers and professionals are not very good. For such an energy-consuming device is not enough. When testing the utility AnTuTu was given only 437 points. This means that with inactive use, your smartphone will be able to barely survive until evening charging. So, when watching an Explay Dream video, it will work only 3 hours, surfing is done for 4 hours, and listening to music when the screen is off will be a 20-hour pleasure.
conclusions
В результате обзора можно сделать небольшое conclusion about the device Explay Dream. Reviews of specialists and users are almost identical. The smartphone has a very high-quality screen, sensitive sensor, good cameras and high performance for its segment. Only one thing is distressing: because of the rather weak battery, which is designed for lower consumption, the battery life is significantly reduced. The low weight of the device, high-quality assembly and much more, along with the already mentioned positive features, more than cover the drawbacks in the form of the lack of an oleophobic coating and the ability to expand the memory.
