Highscreen Ice 2: review, specifications, reviews

Modern gadgets are similar, like odnoyaytsevyetwins: smooth, in the mass of their square, odnoesnye. Choose among them one is already so problematic that many just leave the store with a headache from the ripples in the eyes. But Highscreen Ice 2, the review of which we offer you in this article, compares favorably with the background of modern smartphones. And there are several reasons for this.

The main "chip"

Smartphone Highscreen Ice 2, the review of which is hereis presented, has one distinctive feature - the second screen. Not like the Russian gadget YOTA, but small, on the back. But very necessary! A mini-display with a creeping line shows the most basic data that users often need: time, date, battery charge, basic data from selected applications, notifications of missed calls and messages. Such a simple thing, which so many smartphones lacked! Now there is no need to constantly turn on the backlight on the phone in order to learn all this data.

A little about the company and brand

Highscreen is a Russian-Chinese brand,which was actively developed relatively recently. In 2009, the company began to produce budget smartphones, which were popular with many users around the world. Stable work and quality gadgets have competed with famous and well-known brands.

Screen

Display diagonal for Highscreen Ice 2, reviewwhich will be of interest to all potential buyers - only 4.7 inches. This is slightly less than the usual five for 2015. But the shortage of these 0.3 inches is paid off by the presence of a second screen. It is located on the back cover, which is made of high-quality non-slip plastic, covered with a protective glass. The color reproduction of the device is simply excellent, according to experts. All paints are saturated, bright, but natural. There is no yellowing or inappropriate acidity. Everything is nice to the eye. In addition, the viewing angles of the Highscreen Ice 2 Galaxy are extremely good: no blackouts or color sags are observed.

Setting up Oled

This applies to the small rear screen. The user can independently choose which information and with what frequency will be shown on the display. In itself, it is small - 23 to 5 mm. But this is quite enough. While the battery from this smartphone does not "eat". That is, the second display is very ergonomic, even if the data transmission frequency is set to maximum. Highscreen Ice 2, which will be reviewed below, it is thanks to the second screen that it compares favorably with competitors in its price category.

Design

All users unanimously come to the conclusion,that the smartphone Highscreen Ice 2, the review of which is useful to study before buying, looks very unusual and beautiful. The rear protective glass (Corning Gorilla Glass of the third generation) allows you to protect your smartphone from damage if you use it carelessly. For example, when falling. By the way, not many companies use Corning Gorilla Glass for the back cover. The front glass is also made of this material. The color scheme is presented in four shades: blue (noble dark), white, gray and black. The speaker is located at the bottom of the back panel, in the middle. This ensures a uniform and sufficiently loud sound. The main camera is located in the upper left corner, which is also very convenient. The entire back panel shows the name of the brand. And since it itself is rather big, it looks very nice and stylish. Smartphone Highscreen Ice 2 is really outwardly very different from its competitors.

CPU

But he is far from perfect. Manufacturers on the device installed a few obsolete eight-core processor MediaTek MT6592 with a clock speed of 1.7 Hz. She, by the way, and smoothes such an unpleasant moment. Due to the high frequency the gadget works perfectly. All modern demanding games and applications work quickly and without lags. It is noteworthy that the smartphone Highscreen Ice 2 Galaxy is well established with multitasking. Applications even in the background work stably, without causing discomfort to the user. And all the necessary notifications can be seen on the second display if desired.

Device memory

Highscreen Ice 2 phone has a RAMin 2 GB. This is already the standard indicator for 2015. Modern applications and games require more and more RAM, so its availability is really necessary. And here the Russian-Chinese smartphone did not disappoint. Even very demanding on the settings of the game work without any problems. Yes, and applications too. Although some still have to manually "belittle" by several settings. Built-in external memory to store information in the smartphone 16 GB. And this is also a standard indicator. For those who do not have enough of the claimed 16 GB (of which about 14 GB is available), a memory card slot will help. More precisely, the slot is dual - it can be used either for an SD card, or for a second SIM card. At the discretion of the user.

External camera

Here, too, everything is quite standard and expected - 13Mp. The camera itself is slightly recessed in the back cover, but the metal edge protrudes above it, so that the pictures do not turn out to be lighted. Next to the camera is a squelch and a speaker. Everything in aggregate works perfectly. Pictures are obtained with high definition, without excessive noise and distortion. Of course, it's impossible to compare flagships with cameras, since Highscreen Ice 2 does not have the strongest matrix. But the pictures are still quality and beautiful. Autofocus works smoothly, without braking and hovering, shooting modes are enough with your head. For those who need more effects, you should pay attention to photo editors.

Front-camera

But it is too small - 2 MP. Highscreen Ice 2 Blue, like any other of this series, does not allow you to make as clear-cut selfies. But here for communication on video communication this is enough. And with a solid hand and proper lighting and selfies are obtained quite high quality for 2 Mp. Photo editors can give vague photos a special charm. And by the way, there are enough standard settings for this.

Communication standards

Well, here, too, not too modern - nosupport 4G and LTE. All the previous ones are supported without problems. Of course, the new communication standards do not yet work in Russia everywhere, but this moment is just around the corner, so the lack of 4G can be considered a serious disadvantage for Highscreen Ice 2 (Gray, Blue, White or Black). This will not be enough in a year or two.

Battery

Its capacity is 2500 mAh. In general, a good result given that the screens are still two. Let one and very ergonomic. With this processor and the maximum brightness of the battery screen is enough. It is noteworthy that when the Internet is constantly on (wireless Wi-Fi or built-in 3G) and the average load of the phone is enough for the whole day. So, to rush around in search of sockets in which case it is not necessary. Well, those who play games constantly, you can advise to buy an external drive, which will always be at hand.

Equipment

Many modern steel producerssave substantially on this. But Highscreen Ice 2, reviews about which will help you determine the choice, is advantageous for today. So, in the branded box are:

• Detailed instructions in several languages ​​(in Russian including).
• Clip to open the memory card slot and sim card.
• Stereo headset (about it will be a little lower).
• Charger (the "plug" itself).
• USB cable (it's also a wire to the "plug").
• Smartphone.

The very same box is made of solid cardboard, which shows a model in an icy haze (Ice is still). It looks effective and presentable.

About the headset

Most users save on it. But not Highscreen. This is really a quality headset, which you do not want to change to another. It fits comfortably in the ear, provides a good sound. And with the proper setting of the equalizer in the media player, it turns out to be a very good music player. And this is also very important for many users. For the headset, you can purchase replacement covers separately.

Expert Reviews

Many experts who have already testedsmartphone on all possible criteria, evaluate it for four of the five possible points. Still, the lack of a good processor makes itself felt. But the design of the device receives the highest score - this is not one of the manufacturers-competitors. That made the smartphone Highscreen Ice 2 so in demand among Russian buyers. Experts were satisfied with the gadget, because it justifies its value (14-16 thousand rubles) no worse than its competitors.

Opinions of those who bought

Budget smartphone liked many at firstits unusual design, and then the "stuffing". Let it be somewhat mediocre and not always reach the flagship, it works out its money completely. Dissatisfied there. Both girls and young people who bought themselves the described model remained under good impression. For the daily needs of the smartphone is enough, but more from it no one waits.

In addition, the weight and dimensions of the device make itmore convenient. So, the smoothed corners at the 4.7-inch screen allow the smartphone to comfortably lie in the hand of both men and women. And even a teenager. Due to the fact that the back cover is covered with glass, there are no fingerprints on it. And if it remains, they are easily removed from the surface. The screen is the same. In this case, the protective film still need to be glued. Many girls note that with the active use of the smartphone, glass is scratching from the nails with time. This point is worth considering. Some city dwellers did not like the lack of 4G, but overall the availability of Wi-Fi at hand mitigated this shortcoming.

Accessories

For Highscreen Ice 2 case will not be chosenlabor, as it might seem at first glance. The Russian-Chinese company took care of the customers to be satisfied. To date, there are many models of covers, bumpers, overlays and rear panels for the smartphone. Therefore, to make it seem even more unusual, if there is a desire. Covers differ from others in that they have a special slot under the second screen. And this gives a special charm, according to some buyers.
