Smartphone Highscreen Power Rage: reviews and photos

Annually hundreds of new models appear on the smartphone market, attracting buyers. Someone creates a fundamentally new device, and someone, without bothering, just changes the color of the phone. Anyway, to understand such a variety is not so easy. Today we will review the Highscreen Power Rage, which is rather contradictory.

What is it, who is it?

It is worth noting that the smartphone appeared relatively recently. Its developer is a Russian company that has already released more than one phone under this name. A direct competitor to Highscreen Power Rage, popularly called "Vicious", remains Highscreen Power Ice ("Ice"). Many users are sure that it is "Ice" that deserves more worship. But for some reason, Highscreen Power Rage Black was shown at the presentation. Reviews appeared immediately after the announcement and release of the phone on sale.

What's in the box?

The first thing that raises the question among buyers is the bundling. The fact is that the entire headset is white. Of course, it is suitable for those who bought Highscreen Power Rage White. Reviews of owners of phones of other colors are negative. Suppose a strange looking gold or black version with white headphones. By the way, a real gift was the presence of a bumper for Highscreen Power Rage. Reviews in most cases are positive, although many say that the transparent plastic case, and therefore often bursts in the corners.

In the box is also the smartphone itself, and to it, of course, the network cable, USB, warranty card, instruction, and, as already mentioned, the headset and bumper. Externally the box is blue and white, on one side of which the characteristics of the phone are schematically indicated.

Thick and heavy

How does the Highscreen Power Rage look like? Customer feedback on the appearance is very different. Someone likes the weight of the phone and its thickness, someone has got used to the leading flagships, and can not accept such a "fat man". In general, the gadget in itself has collected a lot of details that can be learned in the familiar "Nokia", "HTS" or "Samsung". Despite this, the designers were able to create and save something individual and memorable for the model.

The smart itself received such an appearance thanks to a capacious battery. The thickness of the gadget is already 9.6 millimeters, of course, with respect to his older brother Highscreen Power Four, this is not enough (the thickness was 11.2 mm), but here already familiar to us, "Ice" successfully managed to reduce its bulges to 8.5 mm.

In addition, feedback on the phone Highscreen Power Rage touched and its weight. He because of the metal elements turned out already 200 grams. But do not think that it is impenetrable smart. Metal here only in edging, the very same back cover is made of high-quality plastic. Front phone under the protection of Asahi glass. To the edges it is rounded, which repeats the design of many new products this year. To the display is added an oleophobic coating, which allows you to keep the phone clean and comfortable to use.

Thanks to its forms, the Highscreen Power Rage smartphone is quite comfortable in its hand. Reviews sometimes open us the other side of the coin. It turns out that in practice it is slippery enough, and in a hurry it can easily be dropped.

Poetic colors

As mentioned above, the device is prepared in four colors. The producer calls them very poetic: exquisitely black, which has a classic black color; Snow-white, which also turned out to be ordinary; Gloomy gray does not look very gloomy, this color is more like something middle between blue and steel; As well as luxurious gold, which is more similar to beige-pink.

Beauty in Detail

On the back panel is a camera, LED flash, and below the speaker. In front are proximity and illumination sensors , a front, a speaker and a classic three touch buttons. The developers promised an excellent sound for Highscreen Power Rage. Feedback from owners does not always confirm this promise. Some were dissatisfied with the lack of low frequencies and the presence of noise. Although, as practice shows, the decisive role is played by the assembly of the smartphone.

The power and volume buttons were on the right side panel. They do not have highlights and are made in a laconic style. The smartphone got a removable back cover, under which the battery hid (we'll talk about it later), as well as slots for two sim cards and a memory card.

In general, the developers made a high-quality assembly of Highscreen Power Rage. Reviews are not always identical. Some users get a stronger model, others complain that the device is lyuftit. Everything, of course, depends also on automation in the factory. So when buying, you need to carefully check all the details in order to change the phone on time.

What a beautiful picture hides

We have already figured out how the highscreen Power Rage smartphone looks. Feedback about the display brings us closer to the technical compound. Therefore, let's talk more about this part of the device.

The diagonal of the display is 5 inches. A similar screen size is quite popular among other models. Smart does not seem like a "shovel", but it's comfortable to watch movies on it. The screen was coated with an anti-reflective coating. In principle, without it it would be worse. The display is wide with respect to the whole case, on the sides it has about 4 mm frames, top and bottom 16 and 17 mm respectively.

About the smartphone Highscreen Power Rage Blue reviews about the display are positive. Pleased owners of HD resolution with a 16: 9 aspect ratio and 293 pixels per inch. The image is quite contrasting, and at maximum brightness it is clearly visible even on the beach on a sunny day. The display is sensitive to the best, phantom clicks are not observed, and the smart responds promptly to commands. The viewing angles are low, and at a certain slant the screen begins to violet. From the pleasant it is worth highlighting that the display can be awakened by a double tap.

"Furious"

Well, finally we got to the main highlight - the battery in Highscreen Power Rage Gold. The reviews, surprisingly, were also contradictory. Some took the device specifically for the capacity of 4000 mAh, but it turned out that the smart worked on a par with devices with 2500 mAh. Someone, on the contrary, had a phone for several days with moderate use.

On average, the smarts are as follows: with Wi-Fi on, background social networking, hourly calls, and 5-6 hours of 3G, the device lasted 3 days, which, of course, is unrealistic.

If you turn off the power saving and use the phone for a long time, it will last a little more than two days. Continuous games last only 7 hours, and video playback at the maximum resolution - for 10 hours. All these indicators are rather arbitrary. The thing is that again, at times, the assembly fails. Some smarts of this model live for three days, some do not do without daily charging.

By the way, the network adapter was a bit more powerful than the previous models, which means that the charging process will be faster.

For communication

It is worth noting that the Highscreen Power Rage Gold received feedback on the overall positive. Smart can contact with 2G / 3G networks GSM / GPRS / EDGE, that is, with a standard set. But here the connection of the fourth generation is not worthy of this apparatus. By the way, this drawback still remains quite strange, given that earlier models of the manufacturer have this advantage.

Some owners complained about GPS inaccuracy. It is said that he allows oversights of 20 meters. Most likely, this is due to the lack of GLONASS. But the plus in this story is that the satellite navigation system is operational.

The phone is available as standard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 2.0. By the way, the latter supports the possibility of charging the phone from other devices, laptop or portable charging.

What's with your memory?

Built-in memory for Highscreen Power Rage 16 GB. The reviews mostly relate to the RAM. Here 2 GB, of which freely - 1300 MB. It seems that it should be enough, but there are such applications that install most of their RAM. Also, over time, there may appear "gray sectors" that fill the RAM and cause the smartphone to brake. Although the latter case is a rarity.

Of the 16 GB of internal memory is usually available about 10-11 GB. But if this is not enough, the phone has a memory card slot, the maximum amount of which reaches 64 GB. It turns out that the developers have created only one version, and customers are available smartphone Highscreen Power Rage 16 GB. The feedback from the owners about the phone's memory is also positive. Although there are assemblies of the device, for which a 64 GB memory card is for some reason not supported.

Take a photo of me

The camera in the smartphone is normal. The main one is 8 Mp, the front one is 5 Mp. This part of the device has not been changed since the previous versions. For the rear camera the diaphragm shows 2.2, for the front - 2.8. The LED flash saves when you need to take a picture at night.

In general, for a smartphone of this class, only 8 Mp is a strange solution. But it turned out that thanks to the resolution of the pictures, the quality is no worse than 13 Mp. Detailing at a high level, noises are observed only when shooting at night. The white balance is accurate and does not fail at the wrong time. It's all about the main camera.

Frontal, by the way, is also not inferior to quality. Does not distort the face and colors. In the dark, it's granular, but it's not tricky. In the light picture is very high quality, so self-images can safely be sent to social networks. In the camera menu, you can select the effects, editing, modes and other manual settings.

The camera also responds well to video shooting. Writes clips with a resolution of FullHD and a speed of 27 frames per second. If the street is dark, it costs 16 frames per second. When video shooting, the clarity is good, noises are observed only in poor lighting. Sometimes problems arise with a focus, it is not always accurate and very slow. The sound in the camera is just above average. Frontalka can also shoot video, but as HD.

Powerful and bright

And what is the business of our smartphone Highscreen Power Rage Gold? Customer feedback on this issue converge. This is not the most powerful and fastest phone on the market, but even cool games are on minimal or medium settings. For many users, the chipset of MediaTek MT6580 does not say much. This Taiwanese detail has appeared relatively recently, and so far there is not much known about it. The processor is 4 cores, each operates with a power of up to 1300 MHz.

For the schedule answers Mali-400 MP2 and shows a fairly stable result. "Walks" on the smartphone are smooth and comfortable, in games, as mentioned before, lags are not observed, but this is if you choose the optimal graphics settings. Although some users were able to notice, something strange: during the game the image on the screen does not keep up with the commands. Whether it is possible to attribute a similar problem to "lags", while it is difficult to say.

The test in "Antutu" phone was successful. On average, it shows a stable result. But unlike the flagships, of course, noticeably lags behind. For example, the performance of the popular Samsung Galaxy S6 has almost 77 thousand, but the Highscreen Power Rage - only 24 000.

Frog in the box

The new model received the operating system in the face of Android 5.1. But you should prepare in advance for the fact that the smartphone is unlikely to get the 6 version of the "Android". Unless the user himself has to reflash the phone to a new OS or wait for mercy from the developers with the update.

Working with Android 5.1 is correct for Highscreen Power Rage. Customer feedback is almost not related to the software platform. Although once met a disgruntled owner who purchased a smart for the sake of the new OS, but instead received a phone with an old Android. Perhaps it was a demo version, which is often displayed in shop windows. With this problem it is better to contact the sellers.

High-quality Power Rage smartphone 16 GB is qualitative and affordable. Feedback from users about the system is positive. Owners are happy that they get almost pure smart, but at the same time there is support for Google Play. The love of developers of flagships to software, which most often interfere with users, is missing here. Highscreen Power Rage does not promote any of its programs - maybe it spares users, and maybe has not yet developed its own projects.

Music louder

For music lovers, Highscreen Power Rage developers have made a branded player. It is quite minimalistic and comfortable to use. There is an equalizer and ready-made presets. Soft independently searches for all existing music in the phone and launches. In addition, you can create folders and albums.

By the way, there is also a selection for a certain type of headset. Depending on what you are using, the equalizer will pick up a certain sound quality. It should be noted that the headset in the kit is very high quality, the sound is clean and at maximum levels it is loud enough. The interface of the radio in the new Highscreen Power has also changed.

In conclusion

Highscreen Power Rage, which is controversial, has remained a conflict of opinion for all. This smart takes the very "golden mean", on which it may not be found. His declared active working capacity in fact is not always true, appearance is not all liked. A huge disadvantage for many was the lack of LTE, that is, support for the standard of mobile communication of the fourth generation. Still, in our time, many are already missing even 3G.

User reviews indicate that this device is more suitable as an auxiliary gadget. Despite the fact that its battery can last 3 days, the phone has two SIM slots and operational support for standard software. Of the pluses, you can also allocate RAM for 2 GB, a high-quality "honest" camera for 8 megapixel, a good display with 2.5D glass and a strong assembly that will not decay if the smartphone slipped out of hand.

Perhaps, this phone will forever be an unsuccessful copy of his colleague Highscreen Power Ice. Now it is difficult to understand the reason why "Vobis computer" released this model after a fairly successful "Ice". "Rage" came out a little unprepared and unfinished. He was deprived of the fourth generation of the network, he became thicker and heavier. Despite some indicators, performance also became worse.

It is interesting that the price of these devices is the same - 10990 rubles. But that's why there are significant gaps between the two models, it's unclear. The conclusion is one: if you want to have a similar smartphone, it's better to take Highscreen Power Ice. And if for some reason you do not like it externally, then you can pay attention to Rage.

Competitiveness

In addition to the main competitor Highscreen Power Rage, in the smartphone market you can see a couple more, slightly different. For example, an excellent alternative in the face of Huawei 4C Pro. Outwardly, it is perhaps even more old-fashioned than the "Rage", but it acquired a better camera, although at a price of 2 thousand rubles higher.

There is another competitor Xiaomi Redmi 3. Its price ranges from 10 thousand rubles, it is much better in terms of characteristics, but officially it can not be bought in Russia. Although it is still possible to acquire it. And here is another long-liver Philips Xenium V526 LTE and even got a battery of 5 thousand mAh. But, unfortunately, he has less RAM, and the price is more. Well, the last closest competitor is ZTE Blade X3. Here the process is a little weaker, and memory is less, but the price is happy - about 9 thousand rubles.

Of course, competitors can be found among popular manufacturers such as Samsung, Nokia, Lenovo or Sony, but the above are more real rivals. In addition, the latter, despite their similar characteristics, the price may be too high for the brand and promotion.
