Smartphone "Lenovo S650": specifications, tuning, battery, reviews. Lenovo S650

Modern smartphones surprise theirperformance and capabilities. However, sometimes for a comfortable performance of the necessary tasks, it is quite enough a time-tested model that can not be attributed to novelties. It is such a gadget is "Lenovo S650", the characteristics of which we will consider in more detail.

Equipment

The smartphone is packed by the manufacturer into a cardboard boxA box on which there is practically no information. Most likely, in this expresses the minimalist style of Lenovo, emphasizing that this device is still the "younger brother" of the flagship for those times of the smartphone Lenovo Vibe X.

For most buyers, it may be important thatthe fact that in addition to the charger, USB cable and documents, the manufacturer took care of the presence in the starting set of a wired headset. Although it looks simple and, frankly, cheap, the sound has turned out to be quite pleasant and may appeal to most unassuming music lovers.

Appearance

The smartphone received a 4.7-inch display, butthis looks rather large. The reason for this is the wide scope around the screen, which can not be unequivocally called a minus, but some users may not like them. Despite such dimensions, the gadget is pleasantly in the hand and does not slip out of it.

The case is completely made of plastic, in some placesmatte, and here and there with a metallized coating. The color of the case is light, pleasant, and with proper lighting it also creates a golden gloss effect. The device is collected qualitatively, there are no backlashes and no creaks. In general, the smartphone creates the impression of a well thought out model, albeit from the budget segment. This sign can boast of many smartphones Lenovo, the prices for which remain within 7-8 thousand rubles.

The back cover is removable, under it there are slots for SIM and a memory card. The Lenovo S650 battery is removable, which has recently become a rarity in most smartphones.

According to some reviews, the strength for wearbody elements is quite high, and even with a careless use of the gadget will lose an attractive appearance not soon. The display has an oleophobic coating to protect it from fingerprints that might appear during use and interfere with the comfortable viewing of photos and videos.

Display

We touched on the topic of coverage a little, and nowlet's talk about the matrix. It, perhaps, can be safely called the weak side of this device, since it has a low resolution for the modern device, namely 960x540 pixels. With such parameters with a diagonal of 4.7 inches, pixelation becomes noticeable even with the naked eye, which causes the picture to get an unpleasant torn "staircase" structure, and the "Lenovo C650" screen becomes more negative than a plus.

However, the rest of the display showed quite good resultsresults. Good color rendering, without emphasizing any specific color, rather large viewing angles, sufficient brightness margin for using the device even in sunny weather - all this can partly compensate for the low resolution of the display.

The sensor was able to perceive up to 5simultaneously, which is an ordinary indicator for state employees. But at the same time, there are absolutely no errors and sticking, so it can be confidently called good and quality.

"Iron" characteristics

As the main processor actsSoC-platform MediaTek MT6582, known for most budget models of 2014-2015. It is a single-chip chip, on which there is a processor with four cores capable of developing a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz, and a video accelerator Mali-450MP2. The crystal is made by a process of 28 nanometers, which ensures a fairly low power consumption and low heating of the device when working with resource-intensive processes.

The processor works in conjunction with RAMthe volume of 1 GB. This is a bit by modern standards, but it is quite enough for comfortable work with two or three lightweight applications at the same time. In order to maximally unload the RAM, the system is optimized by the manufacturer, as a result of which the user is always available about 500 MB, the rest is occupied by system applications. It should be noted that in some Lenovo models with the same amount of RAM, there is a problem with the operation, since only a fifth of the RAM remains accessible to the user. Here, "Lenovo S650", the characteristics of which often do not differ from the problematic models, undoubtedly wins.

Antutu benchmark test shows result in 17000 rating units, which is comparable to the flagships of the previous years, like the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3, although the Lenovo C650's characteristics seem less significant at first glance.

Communication capabilities of the smartphone

At the present time, a smartphone without availability4G support is sometimes considered too outdated, but do not forget that the higher the communication standard, the greater the battery charge. In this model, 4G support is not available, but all frequencies and 3G standards are fully implemented, including HSUPA and HSDPA.

SIM cards are of the standard size, they are notyou need to crop or change to start using your smartphone. When calls are traditionally one of them becomes inactive, since the device is equipped with only one radio module.

In addition to the radio module of the cellular network, the phone"Lenovo C650" is equipped with Bluetooth modules of generation 4.0, as well as Wi-Fi with b / g / n protocols support. If necessary, the smartphone can be turned into a portable Wi-Fi router in several stages. In advance, ask your operator if additional funds will be charged for this, as recently some companies have introduced such a practice.

It does not cost a smartphone without a GPS module. The signal strength of the satellites is quite confident even in cloudy weather. When testing in most cases, the cold start took about 1 minute, the hot one took less than half a minute, or even a few seconds.

Memory

Internal non-volatile memory of smartphoneespecially not happy with its size. It is a built-in 8GB flash drive. Of it about 3 GB are occupied by system files. In total, a user from the box is available slightly less than 5 GB of disk space.

To expand it, you can use mapsmicroSD memory up to 32 GB, preferably 10 class, to ensure maximum performance. According to reviews of users who tried to use memory cards of a larger volume, the smartphone simply refuses to see them, so when buying it is worth counting on the manufacturer's declared limits. However, comparing prices for Lenovo smartphones, this model wins by the price / quality ratio, and it is worth considering - perhaps this amount of memory will be quite enough.

Battery

A regular battery, supplied with a smartphone,received a rather ordinary amount of 2000 mAh. This is a small indicator in the modern world of demanding battery gadgets, but for its modest characteristics of this battery is more than enough.

In the kit with the smartphone comes a charger, capable of giving power up to 1 A. With these parameters, the battery takes about 2 hours to fully charge.

According to feedback, one charge is enoughfor active use of the smartphone all day, it is noticed by users commenting on the topic of Lenovo S650 4PDA. However, at the same time, it will have to be connected to the power supply every night, which means that the life of the charging / discharging cycles will be used in about 2.5 years.

Main and front cameras

The smartphone Lenovo S650 4PDA was developed at that timethe time when software interpolation of the image was still out of fashion, so the claimed photo resolution corresponds to the resolution of the camera matrix. For the main camera it is 8 megapixels, with the frontal situation being more sad - its indicator is only 0.3 megapixel, so you can forget about selfi. Considering the model "Lenovo S650", the characteristics of the cameras are quite acceptable for its price segment.

The camera is quite decent for its level, withGood lighting images are saturated and clear. However, using the automatic setting of parameters during shooting, watch the resulting result. Sometimes the software mistakes with the choice of mode, due to which the colors can be distorted, and the photos show light or, vice versa, too dark areas.

The front camera can only be used for conversations using video messengers, but no more. Do not make it pictures: they can not be qualitative.

Set up your smartphone

After removing from the box, the smartphone should betune. In this, this model is no different from other Android-devices. She has on board a set of service applications from Google, so it is recommended that you immediately get yourself an account for comfortable use of the smartphone and data synchronization. Otherwise, the "Lenovo C650" setting is intuitive. The smartphone has hints about the interface functions.

conclusions

The smartphone turned out nice and pleasant inuse. It will suit those for whom the connection is in the first place, and not entertainment. Of the minuses, we can note only the processor overheating with very long, heavy loads not provided for this iron, weak display resolution, and the already starting obsolete version of Android. If this is not important for you, you can safely buy this model - otherwise it will not let you down. In addition, if necessary, repairs "Lenovo C650" is quite cheap due to low prices for components, so the accidentally broken display will not be a tragedy.
