Overview of the smartphone Explay Infinity 2: specifications

A stylish smartphone of 2013 with good technical specifications and an affordable price is Explay Infinity 2. The capabilities of this device, its parameters, as well as the software update will be discussed in detail in this small material.

Positioning the smartphone

Explay Infinity 2 was positioned by the manufacturer as a flagship solution. But at the same time the price of the device was significantly lower than that of similar devices. Therefore, an interesting combination was obtained that combined excellent technical and program specifications along with democratic value. All this contributed to a rather high level of sales of the gadget in question.

Package Contents

Explay Infinity 2 was completed as follows:

• The gadget itself with a battery.

• User guide.

• Stereo system.

• Charger.

• Warranty card.

• Documentation on the navigation system iGo.

• An interface cord that allows you to synchronize the gadget with a PC or charge the battery using the charger.

Design

A typical candybar with a 4.3 inch touch screen is the Explay Infinity 2. The display is of a high quality, based on a matrix made using Super AMOLED ++ technology. This provides excellent color reproduction and sufficiently large viewing angles. But there is no familiar touch panel for this software platform under the screen. Instead, it uses the lower part of the display on which these controls are located. Above the display are the speaker and the eye of the front camera. The lock button is displayed on the right side of the device, and the volume controls on the left. Wired interfaces (audio port and microUSB) are located on the top edge of the smartphone. At the bottom, only the opening of a spoken microphone is output. On the back cover there is an eyelet of the main camera and its illumination. The material of the back cover is corrugated plastic.

Hardware filling

Modest by today's standards, the central processor is installed in Explay Infinity 2. The characteristics of the MT6577 are really not impressive. There are only two cores, each of which is based on a very old architecture A9 and can dynamically increase its clock speed to 1 GHz. But on the other hand, do not forget that before us is the 2013 release device, and at that time this model of the central processor provided a fairly good level of performance. Even now, after 3 years, this device allows you to solve most problems: from listening to music and playing video and to unpretentious toys, reading books and surfing the Internet resources - all this is due to the power of this smart phone model. Problems will only be with the latest, most demanding toys.

The amount of RAM in this case is 512 MB. About 300 MB of them are system software. The capacity of the built-in drive is 4 GB, but only about 2.4 GB is allocated for the user's needs. The rest is the system software. There is also a slot for an external memory card. Its maximum capacity can be 32 GB.

An impressive set of data transfer methods is implemented in this device. This is 2 SIM cards. The first slot supports work both in networks of the 2nd generation, and the 3rd. This allows you to receive data at a speed of several megabits per second in the presence of appropriate coverage. But the second is oriented to work only in the GSM-standard. In this case, you can count on several hundred kilobits per second. The main wireless interface in this case is Wi-Fi. With its help, you can download and upload data in any number. Also in this gadget there is a transceiver "Blutuz". It allows you to exchange data with smartphones or connect a wireless headset to the device. But there are only two wired interfaces in this case. One of them is microUSB. Synchronization with a PC and charging the battery - this is its main tasks. The second is an audio port that allows you to connect any wired speaker system to the device.

Cameras

Not bad even by today's standards the main camera is used in Explay Infinity 2. The photos and video received with its help are of quite good quality. In this case, a sensor of 8 megapixels is used. There is, as noted earlier, a backlight system and autofocus. Videos in this case are recorded in HD-quality. In this device there is also a front camera. But here the sensor is really modest - only 0,3 megapixel. This is barely enough to make video calls. But there is nothing more to be expected in this case.

Autonomy

The device is equipped with a regular battery for 1600 mAh. With active use of this capacity, the battery lasts for 12-14 hours of active use. With an average load level, you can count on 2 days of battery life. Well, if you really try hard, then 3 days with minimal use of the device it will be possible to stretch. If necessary, you can increase the battery life of this phone, but for this you need to buy an additional external battery.

Software

As expected, "Android" - is the system software of this device. And its version of the operating system is far from fresh - 4.0. But still, on this software, without much trouble, most of the existing software of this platform will function.

Some "craftsmen" are trying to update the version to 4.1, and in this case the question arises how to flash the Explay Infinity 2. Officially, this update does not exist, but the fans managed to make such a package. But at the moment there will not be any special winnings - the latest version of Android is now 6.0, and there is really no difference between 4.0 and 4.1. But to disable the gadget is not so difficult. In the rest, for updating the software it is necessary to download a specialized update package on the site of the "Usage" and the firmware itself. Then install the package on the PC and use it to "pour" a new software on the smartphone.

Separately, it should be noted the availability of a special navigation software iGo. It allows you to turn this smartphone in minutes into a full-fledged navigator and build the necessary route.

Reviews and Price

10 000 rubles - this is how much it cost in 2013 Explay Infinity 2. Review reviews of the owners of this gadget indicates full compliance with price and quality. At the same time, the device had practically no weaknesses: an excellent screen, a fairly efficient CPU, a well-organized memory subsystem, an acceptable level of device autonomy. Even the quality of the photo and video of the main camera really does not cause any complaints. Another plus of the device is an additional applied software that allows you to turn your smartphone into a full-fledged navigator without any problems.

Results

An excellent smartphone of 2013 release is Explay Infinity 2. It is balanced both from the position of price, software, and from the position of hardware parameters. This device has practically no flaws, and its parameters for the most part even now continue to be relevant.
