Budget smartphone "Micromax Q380" fansMobile devices are met very ambiguously. It is clear that the model belongs to the budget segment and does not pretend to much, however, those qualities that satisfy some users cause a negative among others. Let's try to understand the reviews of the owners: what exactly did they like and did not like about this gadget.
Very attractive appearance turned out at"Micromax Q380", reviews confirm this. The coating is pleasant to the touch and does not slip, so there is no need to constantly fear that the gadget will fall out of hand. It was noted that the paint from the frame imitating a metal frame peels off over time, in this regard, the aesthetic side of the Micromax Q380 suffers.
Аккумулятор сменить не получится, и этот аспект caused both negative and approval reactions from the public. The fact that the old battery cannot be replaced with a new one outrages many. Other users, on the contrary, believe that in this way the developers managed to achieve a smaller thickness, which is why the gadget has become more convenient to use.
Although the battery is mounted, the back cover is allit is disconnected, since there are connectors for various cards inside. The presence of two SIM cards is always a plus, especially when they have slots separate from the memory cards, which allows for simultaneous work with two SIM cards at once and an increase in memory for storing data via a flash drive.
Bright and attractive display "Micromax Q380"with good viewing angles caused a storm of positive emotions among the owners of the device. The information is perfectly distinguishable even on a bright sunny day, and viewing the image from different angles does not cause any problems. Owners are pleased with the bright color palette, thanks to which it is a pleasure to watch pictures or photos on the device.
All negative reviews regarding the display,directed mainly towards low resolution, which does not reach 720 r, while competitors of the device from the same budget category are quite able to please their owners with an HD image. This drawback is the most significant in the entire Micromax Q380. The reviews say that in a static position the picture looks attractive and clear, but during games or watching videos, pixels begin to appear on the screen, the video is blurred and loses its attractiveness, which makes it completely uninteresting to watch movies on the smartphone or use it as a game console
Although the phone "Micromax Q380" and gotan advanced platform, many criticize it, as well as the work of the technical component of the device as a whole. There are frequent freezes, glitches and a long wait when loading: for some users, applications open for 5 seconds. Rebooting for some time corrected the situation, but then the problem arose again - the smartphone eventually went to the service for repair.
As for the processor, the reviews were divided:one of the four cores is enough to solve their problems, while others believe that the phone must work with more resource-intensive software, and such an architecture is completely insufficient. Owners complain that 1 GB of RAM is too little RAM. It is believed that the lack of RAM is the cause of the incorrect operation of the system and crashes during the use of multitasking in "Micromax Q380". The reviews of other consumers all refer to the fact that the smartphone belongs to the budget category, and you should not expect any miracles from it in terms of performance.
Стоит отметить, что мнения владельцев получились so contradictory due to the varying degrees of evaluation of the device. Those who are satisfied with the stuffing of the model, apparently, do not need complex applications and advanced games, and for simple software and the Internet there is enough a quad-core processor. Critics expected the gadget to be more productive with the ability to run demanding programs and games. Their requests require a smartphone from a more advanced segment.
Regarding long downloads and outagessystem, then this problem can be called objective, since almost everyone to one degree or another complained about the phone freezing, the long opening of files and other problems with functioning.
The main camera was recognized as one of the mostsignificant advantages of a smartphone. 8 megapixels with autofocus do their job well, allowing you to achieve pictures of very decent quality for a phone of this segment. Macro shooting works great, due to which the image stabilizer easily switches between distant and near objects. It is also worth noting the clarity of photographs of text documents: letters and numbers are perfectly read in pictures, there is no blur. Of course, all this applies to shooting in good light or in the daytime. Optics behaves somewhat worse at night and with a deficit of light.
The selfie camera has only 2 megapixels, soIt’s impossible to call it qualitative. But the owners are already satisfied with the fact that it is present, and this is not a simple 0.3 megapixel optics installed for a tick, but a full-fledged camera that allows you to take a selfie picture if necessary and use it, for example, as an avatar on social networks.
A video camera was also adopted, which allowsreceive videos with a resolution of 720 p. It is somewhat confusing for users that optics only shoot at a frequency of 15 frames / s, and not 30, but still the videos come out pretty good. The image slows down a little, but for viewing on small screens it is quite suitable.
With sound and conversational speakers, no onethere were any problems: there is a high-quality and loud sound above the average level. Troubles begin with the use of a headset. Vacuum headphones are supplied, but users say that they are of very poor quality and you will need to purchase a more advanced headset to listen to music. But even expensive headphones do not allow you to truly enjoy the music player in the "Micromax Q380": reviews mention a quiet sound, unacceptable quality and almost complete lack of bass. There are some playback settings, but they don’t really change the picture. In this aspect, the device failed.
Many praise the device’s battery life,claiming that even with the active use of the gadget, the charge lasts for a sufficiently long period of time. Other owners of 2000 mAh are not enough, so they complain about the low battery performance, and if you take into account that changing it will not work, then the battery is instantly recorded in minuses.
A large percentage of buyers claim thatthe device charges for a very long time: for some it takes about 3 hours. There were also cases when the gadget did not respond at all to the charger, and it had to be taken to the service.
So, having examined the Mikromax Q380 phone, reviewsbuyers and its cost of the order of 5 390-6 990 rubles, it can be understood that for most parameters of the device user opinions are mixed. Some understand: the device is budgetary and you should not expect much from it, so the screen, battery and technical specifications are quite worth the money. Others want too much from a gadget of such a plan. Naturally, in such a smartphone it is not so easy to shove an acceptable camera, a good processor and a lot of memory at the same time. To please users, for example, with a decent quality camera, on which it would not be embarrassing to take pictures, developers will have to neglect something else, say, the same audio player. True, there are some unequivocal advantages and disadvantages, but for the most part everyone has a subjective opinion.
Phone "Micromax Q380" reviews, although it is different, but still has objective advantages and disadvantages.

On all other parameters, opinions were dividedapproximately equally, so here everyone has to decide for himself. Perhaps, if the developers had lowered the price of the device by at least 1000 rubles or simply added a high resolution, the smartphone received a more cordial welcome from users.
