"Tele2" (smartphone): review, features and impressions

Almost all domestic mobile operators are replenishing the mobile gadget market with their branded devices. The company "Tele2" was no exception and last year it presented its fans with a budget device with the same name - mini-TV2. Phones, smartphones and other devices of such a plan have always been popular with customers of a particular provider, because companies are focusing on the price tag, not on an impressive set of characteristics. This allowed not only to profit from the sales of devices, but also to attract new customers for maintenance.

The new "Tele2" smartphone received a 4-inch screen, support for 3G networks, Wi-Fi protocols and map navigation. Moreover, the model allows the use of two SIM cards, with the possibility of working in competing networks, but only with a single caveat - one card must be necessarily from the branded company. Simultaneously with the purchase of the gadget, the user can immediately pick up for himself some favorite "Tele2" tariffs for smartphones. Sometimes the device is sold with the already charged in the phone firmware billing, at this point you need to pay special attention, because after the purchase make some changes can be very difficult.

Package Contents and Appearance

"Tele2" smartphone goes in a simple and unremarkable box of solid cardboard in the appropriate brand color, which indicates the most "delicious" characteristics of the gadget. The kit does not differ in originality: charger, USB-cord, headset and manual with a warranty card.

The appearance of the model, as well as the design, does not pretend to beauty, - everything is simple, without unnecessary details. In your hands, you have a regular budget employee, of whom there are hundreds on store shelves. The screen is devoid of any oleophobic coating, so it actively collects fingerprints, dust and other small dirt. The display here is the simplest, on a TFT-matrix with a scan at 480 to 800 points.

Viewing angles are mediocre, but the picture pleases with its adequacy: color balance, saturation, and also contrast with brightness at quite acceptable level. The problems begin when you use the "Tele2" smartphone on the street, on a sunny day: the data is poorly read, the image flashes and is generally distorted. But if you look at the characteristics of the screen as a whole in its segment, then it is even completely nothing - a worker.

Speed and autonomous work

There is a "Tele2" smartphone on the "MediaTech" processor series MT6572 with two cores. RAM (512 MB) is enough to launch simple applications and undemanding toys. The internal volume is limited to 4 GB of space, but if desired, it can be expanded to 32 GB using SD-cards.

Having on board a lithium-ion battery for 1500 mAh, the gadget can withstand up to 3 hours of talking, that is, even with frequent calls, the charge is enough for a day and a half. If you like watching movies or playing games, then put the battery in just two or three hours.

Summarizing

Mini-smartphone from "Tele2" is a thoroughly budgetary model, and it works, as well as a technique of this level should work. The gadget can call, send SMS and gives access to 3G-network, and more from this price category (<2500 rubles) can not wait.

The advantages of the model include compact dimensions, very good build, support for two SIM cards and the presence of an intelligent FM radio. Of the disadvantages we note a very modest battery life and a small amount of RAM. In general, the gadget is quite useful as a second phone or it will be used as an ordinary dialer, because as for something more, he, alas, is not capable.
