Surprises do not end there. In addition to the communicator, the manufacturer released the Explay N1 tablet (reviews of thrifty users about it are positive) with a seven-inch screen and low cost.

Equipment

The smartphone's packing box is made of solid cardboard, white logo of the company, name of the gadget, characteristics and general information. In the complete set with the communicator the battery, a charger, a USB-cable, ear-phones, the operation manual and the warranty card is given.

Design

In appearance, the smartphone does not differ from the usual budget mobile devices. This was the reason for the criticism of the Explay N1: reviews of some users allow us to conclude that they were waiting for a certain highlight in the device. In all the color variations of the model of this smartphone, except for white, there is a black edging on the panel of the case. Especially pleases users Explay N1 (testimonials confirm this), that the smartphone can be purchased in accordance with their own preferences, because, as already mentioned, the device is presented in several color versions. The back cover is matte, there are no fingerprints on it. Here again it is worth paying attention to the smartphone Explay N1 Black, reviews confirm that the pollution on it is completely invisible. The phone is nice and comfortable to hold in your hand, although the surface of the case is smooth and slightly slips. Weight of the mobile device is 109 grams, dimensions - 116 x 62 x 14 mm. Near the front panel part of the body is made of glossy, and the rest of the surface - from matte plastic.

Try to handle the phone with the utmost care. As an example, we studied several opinions about Explay N1 Plus. Reviews allow us to conclude that, despite the fact that the screen is covered with a special protective film, it is very quickly ripped off, and the display shows scratches and scuffs. If used improperly, the device may lose its marketable appearance in the near future. Its price, of course, is small, but still unpleasant. If the protective film has become unusable, it is easier to paste a new one and keep the look of the smartphone attractive.

Explay N1: feedback on the quality of production

The assembly of the smartphone is quite good, except for a small gap between the back cover and the case. We learned what they say about Explay N1 Black. Testimonials confirm that the device does not crunch when compressed, does not creak and does not emit any extraneous sounds, which happens with some models of budget smartphones.

Sight from the side

The back of the device is smooth and smooth, does not bend when pressed in the location of the battery. On the top of the front panel is a speech speaker, it also acts as a device for hands-free communication. At an average loudness of the interlocutor it is perfectly audible, basically high frequencies prevail, there is no echo, extraneous noises and rattling. For a budget smartphone, such indicators are very rare. Near the speaker is the proximity sensor, which reacts to the touch clearly and quickly, no unauthorized screen activations were noted. Under the display are the usual functional touch buttons "Menu", "Back" and "Home". They are highlighted with silver paint, but since there is no backlight, it is difficult to use them in a dark room. A microphone is placed on the lower end of the device, and on the top side there is a connector for the charger, headset and USB cable. To the left is the volume key, it goes a little to the rear. The power button is located in the top right corner of the smartphone, it is convex, instantly responds to the press, it does not have to be forced into the device with a force. On the back there is a camera that rises a little and stands out above the body. If you need to remove the cover, poke it with a flat object or your fingers behind the notch located in the lower left corner. Under the "cover" we can see a removable battery, slots for a pair of SIM cards and a slot for a memory card.

Display

The screen model Explay N1 is small, its diagonal is 3.5 inches. In comparison with five-inch modern smartphones at first glance it seems that this is not enough. The screen resolution is 320 x 480 pixels, with a density of 164 pixels. These figures are quite decent for a budget smartphone. As for the minuses Explay N1, user reviews pay attention to the low quality of the TFT-matrix. The fact is that when tilting, there are practically no viewing angles, color rendition is not the best, and when you turn the screen, the shades become completely faded. There is no light sensor in the mobile device. The brightness is adjusted manually, its range is wide, and the quality is high. The touch screen immediately responds when exposed to it, supports up to two simultaneous presses on the display. The screen on the smartphone is capacitive, there should be no problems with its functioning.

Charge

The mobile device provides a removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1300 mAh. Due to the small size of the screen, not too much gluttony of the autonomous work of the gadget and a simple matrix, such a battery can withstand up to five hours of talk, up to six hours of browsing, up to two hours of video playback or about seven hours of reading at medium brightness. The smartphone works only in 2G cellular networks. For file transfer there is a built-in Bluetooth 4, you can also use Wi-Fi. The device can be used as a modem or as an access point. By wireless connection or mobile communication you can determine your location. In the device Explay N1 GPS (user reviews are also mentioned) is not supported as a separate function.

Removable media

The Explay N1 smartphone has a built-in memory of 256 MB, from this amount it is allowed to use 100 MB, RAM is spent for various functions of the mobile device. For such money, there is no need to expect more, but to fulfill the elementary tasks of the proposed memory is enough. If you plan to use additional media, it has a special slot under the back cover and battery. It can save video, photos and data up to 32 GB.

Smartphone Explay N1: reviews about quality from filming

In this budget communicator you will be pleasantly surprised by the camera, because in some inexpensive phones it simply does not exist. There is no front sensor, and the main module is 1.3 Mpix. The quality of photos leaves much to be desired, and this is not surprising with such characteristics and the absence of a flash. To shoot it is necessary at good illumination, sometimes the camera gives such pictures which quite can compete with a photo made on a tablet. The video resolution is 860 x 480, while the recording quality is at an average level. But the sound of the smartphone is high-quality and high. Multimedia applications in the mobile device are standard, used to play video, music or radio.

Multimedia functions of smartphones always cause increased attention among users, because otherwise it would be enough to purchase a regular mobile phone for making calls and sending messages. With the download of Internet pages, there were no problems, they open quickly. The quality of the headset is good, the sound is slightly above average, most of the time midrange bugs are heard, the high ones are slightly "stuck" and the low ones are barely noticeable. Since the ringing speaker is also spoken, the volume is low. The video can be viewed at a resolution of 800 x 600 megapixels. This mobile device is great for beginners. The model is equipped with a dual-core processor with a frequency of 1 GHz. The smartphone does not have GPS and 3G. Built-in operating system - Google Android 4.2.2. Everything works smoothly, no glitches and no inhibitions. It is important to note that the device does not have Google Play services, instead of them, Yandex programs are used. With their help you can find all the necessary applications and games. The interface is identical to the rest of smartphones on Android 4.2.

Conclusion

When you purchase an Explay N1 smartphone, you get a full-fledged multimedia device with the ability to use almost any programs and applications. If you compare the screen of the communicator with ordinary mobile phones, then it is large enough, and the resolution is high. You can use 2 SIM cards, especially in places where the action of one of the operators is limited. There is a good video and music player, as well as a built-in radio.
