Today, budget smartphones are very activebegin to gain popularity. And this is understandable, because in appearance they hardly differ from the flagships and at the same time are much cheaper. Naturally, for the price you need to sacrifice some characteristics, but all this is trivial, if as a result you get a smartphone with excellent functionality. The company Explay in the budget segment is very active policy. It produces high-quality and inexpensive products, which makes up a strong competition with other, more well-known manufacturers. Not exception for steel and five-inch models, where Explay is represented by the model Rio.
Users who have already experienced the "Exile Rio"reviews left different. The fact is that each of them acquired this gadget with different purposes. Let's consider today the basic indicators of the smartphone Rio from Explay and, based on feedback from users, we will draw a conclusion on the convenience and its main purpose.
Specifications can first of all tell the user about the capabilities of the smartphone and the presence of additional functions in it. So, the phone “Expo Rio” has the following indicators:
The, that becomes clear immediately with the firstA look at the "Rio's Expo" - the characteristics here are rather weak. Especially depressing the presence of only 512 MB of internal memory, which is catastrophically insufficient for normal operation. So when buying, users immediately order a flash drive.
The packaging of the smartphone is standard and made ofrecycled cardboard. Especially surprised by the presence of a color print, which is not typical for the company Explay. Opening the lid, you can immediately see the gadget that occupies all the space around the perimeter. By taking it and lifting the lid, you can see the standard set: a headset, USB cable, instructions, battery and warranty. Unfortunately, the manufacturer didn’t include removable panels for the “Expo Rio”, covers and other trifles. But it's not scary, because they can be purchased separately at a low cost.
The screen at the "Expo Rio" received feedback fromusers are good. Most do not immediately believe that for such a cost (about 4 thousand rubles) you can get as much as 5 ”sensory space. But a little frustrating screen resolution. Here it is only 854x480 pixels, which is undoubtedly not enough for working with small fonts. More users would love to see an IPS-matrix as a displaying body, and not the old TN variant. But even with such parameters, the image on the display is easily readable at medium brightness on a bright sunny day, which is rarely seen in budget smartphones.
The screen has averages, which is typicalfor state employees. The viewing angles are small and something wild happens when tilting with flowers. All of them are initially negative, then the display just turns white, leaving only dark traces. But for normal operation with a smartphone, the corners provided are enough.
Smartphone "Expo Rio" has two cameras:frontal and external. The first one produces an image thanks to a 0.3 MP matrix. This is very little for creating normal images, but it is quite enough for video communication. The external camera is more powerful and has a 2 Mp matrix. Its resolution is 1600x1200 pixels. At first glance, it does not pull on its parameters and it seems that the declared parameters are a simple deception.
Users are very pleased with the LEDflash, but the lack of autofocus is a bit frustrating. Video can be shot at a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, which is a pretty good indicator. And now there is only hope that even though this indicator is a merit, the frame rate of the shooting is 10, and this is at the standard 30 frames!
Making a conclusion on the cameras, we can say that they are located here just for the sake of a tick and are suitable only for undemanding users.
Как и у всех бюджетников, в рассматриваемом The smartphone uses the same basis - MediaTek MT6572. There are two cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. There is only 512 MB of RAM here, which is hardly enough for large applications. All popular benchmarks give the same estimate of overall performance - below average. This was the fact that the "Rio" comments began to appear not too good. Making a conclusion, we can say that performance is not the strong point of this smartphone, it won't suit lovers of powerful games. But unpretentious toys and non-resource-intensive applications will "fly" here.
All users are very upsetthe presence of only 512 MB of internal memory. This allows you to safely say that the cost of a gadget should immediately be added to the cost of a flash drive. Also, to install applications, you will need to get ROOT rights and re-allocate all the memory.
Here, a microSD card with a maximum allowable amount of 32 GB is used here as a removable storage medium. It is enough for storing games and other important things in the form of photo and video.
Конструктивные особенности изначально позволяют talk about the possibility of hot-swappable flash drives. In this case, you can not turn off the smartphone. But the fact is that when you take out a card, you certainly run into the battery. So here to get the power supply is necessary.
Гаджет «Эксплей Рио», обзор которого мы сейчас We do, has as the power source the rechargeable battery on 1800 mAh. Users respond very well to the battery life of this smartphone. Very interesting are the test results, which are practically not inferior to the average and flagship models of well-known manufacturers.
So, in HD movie viewing mode withmaximum brightness, you can put the battery in almost 4 hours. Well, listening to music will be enjoyable for 36 hours, which is enough for such a low cost of the smartphone itself.
В качестве основы смартфон Explay Rio использует "Google" Android version 4.2. The kernel is standard here, the shell also has not undergone major changes. But in the pre-installed software, it is no longer possible to find familiar applications and stores for everyone. Here everything is replaced by services from "Yandex". But removing them will not be a problem if you have access rights (in any case, you need to open them to install applications on a USB flash drive). Yes, and you can also download the necessary options, you just need to connect to the Internet.
Users who managed to try outRio ", the reviews leave mixed. On the one hand, everyone admires that for such a price they got a full-featured smartphone. It is comfortable, practical, light and beautiful in appearance. In this case, the sensor responds to the touch adequately. But the lack of 3G, the mainstream standard applications, is a very weak camera that does not correspond to 2 Mp, and a small memory (both RAM and built-in) strongly repels. But to want more for such a relatively meager cost is not worth it. The main thing is that the gadget works and at the same time shows good results both in performance and in time of autonomy.
In the end, what do we get by purchasing Explay Rio?In the hands of a state employee with a very low cost, but having indicators close to the middle class. If you are not a photographer and do not play too "heavy" games, then this gadget will fit perfectly.
