Today the most standard practice issale in the market of our country of Chinese-made smartphones under the domestic brand. Few people think that these gadgets are created by existing projects, and the craftsmen just change the look of the back panel or its color. One of the few manufacturers who refuse such a strategy is Highscreen. Here, everything from the development and ending with the gathering of finished products from the conveyor, trying to do it on the territory of Russia. No exception was the budget smartphone Zera F from this company. It turned out to be quite attractive in appearance, not very powerful in terms of productivity and costing only 3990 rubles. Highscreen Zera F, which we are going to review now, is not the brightest representative of the budget niche, but it may well become one. Let's do everything in order.

Smartphone comes in standard packaging,which is made from recycled cardboard. Lifting the lid, you can see the Highscreen Zera F Black smartphone lying in the cradle. It is neatly wrapped in oilcloth. Additionally, the kit includes standard items in the form of a USB cable, charger, headset, instructions and warranty on the smartphone.
On the screen of the gadget is pasted a film with writtenon her characteristics. In principle, everything is standard here as for the budget option. It is worth noting the headphones that comes with the Highscreen Zera F. The reviews about them are not very good. Despite the fact that they are almost identical with the headset to the iPhone, users often talk about their inconvenience and poor sound. But the main thing here is not the headphones, but the smartphone itself.
Completed device in a classic style.This is all the usual candy bar with a four-inch touch screen. I would like to note that a protective film is glued on top, under which there is not a single bubble.
On the sides of the screen there are frames of 5 mm.Thanks to this, the smartphone can be easily held in your hand without pressing the sensor. The body is made of plastic with anti-slip coating. Holding the smartphone in your hand, you immediately feel that it will not just slip out of it.
In general, the smartphone looks pretty decent. It is noticeable that on his design pretty worked. If you are a fan of other models, you can see a lot of borrowed items.
Highscreen Zera F smartphone on the front side,on top of the display, has a speaker, front camera and light sensor. Below, except for the three functional touch buttons, there is nothing else.
Located behind the main camera and flash.In the middle of the panel is the inscription of the manufacturer. Below is the call speaker. It has special protrusions around the edges so that nothing interferes with the sound output.
The left edge is equipped with a volume rocker only.On the right, also in proud solitude, there is a microUSB-socket for connecting a smartphone to a computer and charging. The manufacturer placed the microphone on the bottom, and on the top - the off / lock button and headphone output. In order to insert a SIM card, you need to slightly pry the back cover. Here you can contemplate two slots, the battery and the place where the flash drive is inserted.
Smartphone Highscreen Zera F though is positioned as a budget option, but, given the build quality, you can easily attribute it to the middle class.
Most budget ruler smartphones havea small display, but it is in a 4 inch Highscreen Zera F. Resolution IPS matrix is 480x800 (WVGA). This indicator is not the highest, you can see the points at close inspection. But to use it is enough.
The display color is normal. Naturally, one should not expect a “live” display from such a display, but we need to understand that all budget gadgets are not capable of anything more.
Contrast is hardly enough to see the image in sunlight. But very pleased with the viewing angles, which are almost the maximum.
The sensor supports up to two points.It has an average sensitivity. In some cases, it even inadequately responds to pressing. Such a nuisance was due to a very thick protective film. If you remove it, then manage the gadget is much more convenient.
Highscreen Zera F reviews has pretty good. Users in the screen are not satisfied with only two things: low brightness and the absence of oleophobic coating.
Smartphone Highscreen Zera F made on the basis ofMTK processor MT6572. It has two cores with a maximum processing frequency of 1.3 GHz. The standard for state employees graphics processor for one core copes with simple three-dimensional games. RAM with a capacity of 1 GB is the very necessary minimum, without which a smartphone will simply “think” for a long time. Very pleased that this was all observed in the device in question.
Relatively old GPU has average performance. Naturally, the "heavy" games, he does not pull, but here are simple, with 3D-graphics, easily.
В результате тестирования популярными бенчмарками got not very high by modern standards. But for such a device is very good. Highscreen Zera F Black failed to test with some benchmarks, as they simply did not start due to their “gravity”.
If you use your smartphone in everyday life,then there are no special complaints from users. Judging by the reviews, they even got more than expected. The interface itself works fine and only in some cases lags. Installation of applications made without any problems.
Works Highscreen Zera F Black with installedAndroid OS version 4.2.2. In the very first shipments, a virus was accidentally stitched in, which sent SMS and downloaded applications without asking the owner. Naturally, this situation has gathered a lot of bad reviews. But, in turn, the operational work of the company on the update corrected the situation.
The interface itself is standard and notdifferent originality. In fact, this is just a “naked” Android. Updates by users can be carried out through a wireless network. But the producers of our country choose the release of a new gadget than the support of the old.
The multimedia features of the smartphone arestandard ones. Everything here is simple and clear. There is a standard audio player. He, as in all state employees, does not differ in a large number of settings, but it is quite enough for listening to music. Video player is weak. It is immediately recommended to replace it with another free player. Well, FM radio is also available. Everything plays well and plays loudly. Even the video can be viewed in HD mode, only the screen has a rather low resolution.
У гаджета Highscreen Zera F отзывы все relative. In particular, this also applies to cameras. There are two of them here. The first is the main one, the second is the front one (for video communication). For picky users, naturally, their quality will be very low. Well, what can you want from a device costing less than 4,000 rubles? Some users are satisfied with the quality of images and claim that they fully comply with the price category. In general, there is no unambiguity.
If you look at user reviews in general, andnot for every specific function, everything is very good here. Almost everyone claims that the Highscreen Zera F should be more expensive relative to its functions. But the manufacturer is very pleased with the price. Even competitors of well-known manufacturers with the same characteristics are not able to compete with this gadget.
There are few complaints about poor network signal reception. This problem can be easily solved by removing the case from the Highscreen Zera F. The developers did not take into account the power of the built-in antenna.
Most of the problems that can be identified fromreviews appear with prolonged use of the gadget. This and some software failures, and overheating. Additionally, you can note a not very powerful battery, which is enough at maximum parameters for only a few hours.
Also, users complain about relativelythicker Highscreen Zera F. Reviews about her are not very pleased. If the smartphone had a built-in battery above 2000 mAh, then the thickness would have been justified, and so the case could have been made thinner. Another discontent cause the framework. They are also relatively large and noticeably spoil the look.
When I first saw the Highscreen Zera F smartphone, I’m notyou immediately understand that it belongs to the family of state employees. Beautiful, comfortable and high quality - all this characterizes the considered gadget. It has normal specifications and is suitable for everyday use. Most of all, the price is good, because similar smartphones are much more expensive. The screen is of very good quality, but if we added brightness to it, then everything would be just fine.
Like any technique, this smartphone also hasseveral negative characteristics. First of all, it is a very weak main camera. Also, many users complain of a very long time to fully charge the battery. The reason for this is the use of low-quality materials. Otherwise, everything is fine.
