A few years ago in China, a fashion was born,which began to rapidly erupt from all over the world. So, it was considered to be steep to acquire and use thin smartphones. By the year 2014, there was a peak in this trend, after which it began to decline. However, this fact does not mean that thin smartphones are no longer in fashion. Certain (and considerable) demand for them takes place now, and mobile phone manufacturers compete with each other in the art of making their works as thin as possible. The British company that released the smartphone under the name Fly IQ 4516 Octa Tornado Slim is not far behind. Actually, this apparatus will be discussed today. Well, we first find out how he can please the customers.
As an operating system on boardThe device is installed "Android" version 4.4.2. This is the so-called "KitKat". As the processor is installed the unit from "Media Library". A fairly powerful model, which contains eight cores, which can accelerate to a clock speed of 1.7 gigahertz. If we talk about the name of the chipset, it's MT6592. Of course, it will be worse "Snapdragona", but still at the output we will get good performance.
The amount of internal RAM is onegigabyte. Flash memory - 16 GB, but not all is available, due to the fact that some part is taken by the operating system itself. By the way, here we can note the first drawback of the device: it does not support external storage. The role of the source of autonomous work is played by a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of just over two thousand milliamperes per hour (2050). According to the manufacturer, this capacity allows you to play video up to five hours (the same amount of time to do internet surfing), listen to music up to 50 hours, and spend eight hours of continuous conversations.
The main camera module has a resolution of 8megapixels. It has an auto focus function on the subject. To create photos in low light conditions, there is an LED flash. The front camera is worse, has a resolution of 5 megapixels. From the wireless interfaces, you can note the port of the standard MicroUSB 2.0, the module Wi-Fi, working in the bands b, g, n, as well as "Bluetooth" version 4.0. Let's remind, that in cellular networks of the fourth generation phone Fly IQ4516 Tornado Slim Octa does not work.
The screen diagonal is 4.8 inches.The display matrix is made using Super AMOLED technology. The picture is displayed as HD (1280 by 720 pixels). The density of the dots is 306 pieces per inch. Additional screen protection is present, this is Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The model provides for the installation of only one SIM card, which must first be processed in accordance with the MicroSIM standard. If we talk about dimensions and dimensions, here they are: in height - 139.8 millimeters, in width - 67.5, and in thickness - 5.15 mm. The mass is 95.5 grams. The dimensions, of course, are impressive. Well, now let's see what features of appearance have the subject of our today's review.
And now a few words about color solutions.As the official data show, the best-selling model was the smartphone Fly Tornado Slim IQ4516 Octa black. Well, for this there is every reason. In general, the most widely sold out models are classic colors - black and white. However, in the whole sequence of cases the first place is occupied by black color. Why is that? The fact is that sooner or later the device will be covered with fingerprints or even scratches. But it will be less noticeable on black plastic or metal than on white. So buyers make their choice in favor of practicality. By the way, the English name of this model is Fly IQ4516 Tornado Slim Octa Black. Nevertheless, both color solutions look both nice and dignified.
No rejection or discomfort atuse of the device does not arise. Even with the first tactile contact you can feel how convenient the device is in your hand, and to predict how comfortable it will be to use it in the future. Specifically, the small thickness of the smartphone may suggest that it looks very, very interesting. In general, for the hand, the sizes are almost matched with jewelry precision. And the thickness, by the way, plays an important role here. Although it is unlikely to be called a miniature device. It is not miniature, but subtle, it is not necessary to confuse these two concepts. The designers decided to paint the metal frame in golden color. This has recently become quite fashionable.
What's on the right side of the device? Here you can find a slot, which is designed for a SIM card format MicroSIM.
There is only a paired key,the functional purpose of which lies in changing the volume and sound mode, and the power button. It allows you to enable and disable the smartphone, as well as block it.
In the lower plane Fly IQ4516 Octa Tornado Slim You can only find the connector to connectwired stereo headset. Quite an unexpected move on the part of the designers of the device, since most similar models currently have an input for headphones on the opposite side, from above. From the bottom, we can find another port. It has the standard MicroUSB. The connectors were additionally reinforced with plastic inserts.
Fly IQ4516 Octa Tornado Slim there is, of course, a front camera,which has a resolution of five megapixels. Next to him was a proximity sensor, and next to it was a light sensor. These two components play at first glance inconspicuous, but in fact important roles. They are responsible for turning off the backlight when the device approaches the ear during a voice call, as well as for automatically changing the screen brightness and backlight level.
On the opposite side of the Fly IQ4516 Octa Tornado Slim The main camera module iseight megapixels. Near the module is an LED flash that is useful for shooting in low or low light conditions. And if there is no lighting at all, it will make it possible to take photographs even in such cases. By the way, the flash can also be used as a flashlight. Only for this purpose it will be necessary to install the appropriate software. Both the rear and front panels are covered with a third-generation Corning Gorilla Glass. Fingerprints are almost invisible, and you can erase them at any time without much difficulty.
The package includes the smartphone itself, the chargerdevice for it (comes with removable USB cable), user manual, as well as a wired stereo headset. Here, perhaps, and the whole package of delivery Fly IQ4516 Tornado Slim Octa, the review of which you can read in this article.
It's been a long time since the first deliveriesBritish company on the Russian mobile phone market. However, only now the company "Fly" decided that it should focus its forces not just on the budget segment, but also on the instant release of individual models that have a zest. Probably, the company will stick to such a concept in the future, but we can not say this for sure. One thing is for sure: the manufacturer has already made the first steps in this direction, releasing to the Russian market the smartphones Fly Tornado Slim IQ4516 Octa, which the reader can find at the end of the article.
In recent years, according to official figures,sales of British vehicles in the Russian market declined rapidly. Until the end of the reasons for this have not been determined, because there may be factors, though not a few dozen, but still enough to create a general mess. Nevertheless, the British firm decided to react to such results exclusively coolly, using sober calculation and ordinary logic. And as a salvation model was created "4516 Tornado Slim." By definition, the smartphone was supposed to show that the company adheres to the tactics of the optimal "price-quality" ratio. It seems that it happened. Earlier it was said that the model was supposed to raise sales due to the presence of raisins, which consisted in the fineness of the device. At that time, the device was the thinnest in the world. But after a couple of months, the smartphone OPPO R5 came out. He had a thickness of 4.85 millimeters. Nevertheless, this did not affect the level of sales.
Fly IQ4516 Octa Tornado Slim does not needimproving the quality of communication. It works perfectly on the device. Immediately, so to speak, without departing from the cash register, we will single out a weak vibration alert. This is already an important drawback. Although it is observed not only in this model, but in many other creations of the British manufacturer. Engineers managed to increase the volume of the call, and that's good. At the same time, she does not go that thin line, behind which a mild bell turns into a wheeze-cry. In general, the golden mean. From the pockets of outer clothing in general, the device is well audible, so nothing bad can be said about this.
Nothing supernova in terms of technicalcharacteristics will not be seen. But at a similar cost (about thirteen thousand rubles), expecting something more is at least illogical. The bet was made obviously not on the technical characteristics, but on the features of the appearance. It was stupid to expect that they would completely overpower the technical shortcomings, so the engineers did their best to work hard to avoid serious shortcomings. Nevertheless, competitors, even in terms of design, can find more than a dozen for this model. Therefore, decide for yourself whether you need this device.
In general, it turns out that the basis of popularitythe model has become an external eye, because the technical specifications, although not bad, but still something special to stand out from the crowd of competitors can not. At the same time, many features in the design can not be found. Only a small thickness of the case plays a significant role. But is it worth it to overpay money for this device? Hardly, although the question remains open, as each user has an individual opinion.
