We all used to use smartphones frommost popular, most advanced manufacturing companies. These are, as a rule, Apple and Samsung; and only a few of us can take something alternative, like HTC and LG. Basically, we do not pay attention to less popular, but cheaper and more productive models, not trusting an unfamiliar brand. Phone Explay Indigo, reviews and features of which will be described in this article, is one such.
Surely most of us have not heard of such aa trademark like Explay. But in vain. It is a domestic, Russian electronics manufacturer that has taken one of the leading positions in the market in a relatively short time. Initially, the company specialized in promoting mp3-players, e-books and other electronics. Now Explay makes smartphones that sell on the domestic market. Due to the fact that it is a local producer, it has every chance of success within the country.
As for the answer to the question of whyExplay Indigo, - reviews confirm that the phone itself is made on a fairly fast platform, developed using budget, but high-quality materials, due to what performs its tasks at a high level. In addition, due to the fact that the company is young, the cost of its devices, even with other equal parameters, is an order of magnitude lower than competitors from China. And this is another "pro" in favor of this model. And in general - the device is new, what prevents to get it purely out of interest?
Explay Indigo mobile phone, reviews of whichsay that this is a decent device for everyday use, is positioned by developers as a budget model. Just look at the price (8000 rubles) - this is a third of the cost of flagship Samsung models, despite the fact that the hardware stuffing is not so different.
Получается, что модель предлагают как дешевого a competitor of Chinese noname smartphones on Android, whereas this device can quite compete with the market leaders, although it costs several times less.
Do not believe me?And in vain, a great model this Explay Indigo! Customer reviews confirm this: the smartphone runs on an eight-core processor, it is equipped with a powerful camera with autofocus and IPS-display, which perfectly reflects the graphics (even for models from the price segment above). This is all done in an aesthetic body and is sold for 8 thousand! What manufacturer can boast of such a model?
Well, since we are talking about the case, perhaps we will beginwith him. In general, of course, something new in Explay was not invented, shoving the hardware stuffing into a standard shell for touch phones made of black plastic. The case can be confidently called thin and so that it fits comfortably in your hand. As one of the downsides that the Explay Indigo smartphone has, the reviews call a brand back cover, on which there are always traces of hands. Of course, it is not critical, but certain inconveniences are visually delivered. You can deal with this with the help of a normal napkin, although there is little sense in this.
The design of the model, again, does not contain somethingextraordinary - a black “box” with a pseudo-metal inset on the front below (due to this, the phone is slightly reminiscent of the HTC One) with the buttons for adjusting the sound and unlocking the display on one side. As with all Android devices, the phone has the virtual keys “Options”, “Home” and “Back” in the style of KitKat 4.4.4.
As noted above, 8-core processorExplay Indigo reviews are called such that it completely satisfies the absolute majority of the tasks that may arise in front of the device. When working with a phone, it is difficult to notice any hang-ups or delays, as well as a more expensive model, the Indigo shows rather high efficiency. In general, here stands the MediaTek MT6592M with a frequency of 1.4 GHz known on models of this class. In principle, this is enough even for confident support of the newest applications on Google Play, not to mention the performance of normal, everyday tasks.
Novelty equipped, as already reported, IPS-display, the diagonal of which is 4.7 inches, and the resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. This is the optimal format for launching applications and games of any class.
As for the picture itself, there are no complaints about it - all the images, all the graphics on the phone are transmitted quite clearly, brightly and intensely. Colors do not change even when the viewing angle of the display changes.
As for such an important issue as a batterydevice, its capacity is 2500 mAh. This, as noted by Explay Indigo reviews, is enough for active use of the device during the day, or for gradual and moderate consumption over several days with the use of various settings to optimize the phone. Thus, the phone can be called quite durable, despite the demanding screen and eight-core processor.
Regarding memory Explay Indigo, reviews callThe device is sufficiently capacious and universal for any tasks. According to the developers, the device is equipped with an internal memory of 8 gigabytes, which are designed to accommodate the operating system. In addition, Explay Indigo also has a slot for a microSD card, which can have a capacity of up to 32 GB. They, accordingly, can be used for downloading multimedia files of any type. This amount of memory should be enough even for several films that can be viewed on the road and literally on the go in high quality. Such mobility devices will appeal to lovers of books, TV series, video tutorials.
Another Explay FeatureIndigo (black), reviews call support for two sim cards. The advantage of this addition is obvious - the owner of the device can simultaneously be in touch in two networks of mobile operators. However, in the case of the Indigo model, there is a nuance: the device cannot “see” both the sim card and the memory card at the same time. This means that the user is given a choice: support for 2 mobile communication cards, or 1 card and microSD. Of course, most buyers complain about the need to choose.
However, some more advancedUsers have found a way to circumvent the restriction due to some special equipment: placing a stowed sim card in a slot, for example. Thus, it is placed in the slot and does not prevent the device from “seeing” the memory card.
Now let's talk in more detail about how muchIt is vaunted above the apparatus. The figure, in principle, has already been named - it is 8 thousand rubles. However, to understand the relationship, let's compare the mobiles of the same class.
So, Phillips Xenium, with a more capacious battery, but with a similar camera with auto-capture and 4-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, will cost 12 thousand rubles.
Other device - Samsung Galaxy Grand PrimeDuos, also supporting the simultaneous operation of two sim cards, but equipped with a much worse display and, again, a quad-core processor, will cost 13 thousand rubles.
As you can see, the difference in cost is not alwaysdue to the functionality of the device. As each mobile phone is, first of all, a product, special attention in its sale is paid to marketing. And this is the additional cost of advertising the brand, its promotion, promotions. All these costs are invested in the cost of the product.
Buying the same little-known products, you, asat a minimum, save on marketing costs that are driven by more widely known, more popular brands. The difference in cost and characteristics you see yourself.
When writing this article, of course, weused not only reviews. Explay Indigo, characteristics of the device, its appearance and build quality was also "under the gun." Summing up all these criteria, we can confidently say about the positive impression left by the device.
Explay Indigo is a machine,which is equipped with everything necessary so that it does not go beyond reasonable limits. It means that in this phone there is nothing superfluous - just what is needed for its everyday use as a communication device, multimedia player, source of entertainment and, of course, a tool for doing business.
At the same time, the phone looks pretty stylish to everyone -again, it expands the circle of people who can use it in everyday life. This is especially true of those who pay special attention to every little thing in their style.
Finally, the cost of the phone is an order of magnitude lower even for those devices that lose to Indigo in one way or another. The question is: why pay more if such a great option is available?
The advantage of the phone, of course, isaffiliation of the manufacturer to the domestic economy. This means that each of us is interested in the development and prosperity of the brand and its further promotion in the market.
