Golovna / Zahist

My critical review of the controversial smartphone. Truth, only a little truth, and nothing, the crim truth!
Spoiler: The button to turn on the life began to unmistakably push through two tyzhnny vikoristannya, when falling on the kim from the height of the column, the camera cracked, when transmitting data via bluetooth, wifi dies, the sound is recorded more quietly and squeaky.

Let me start from the negative, so that you could find out what is bad and good in this smartphone, and then I will write about the “heart of the smartphone” and other technical data.

Oh, minus.

When trying, put on the phone at the complete hard cover, the wine slipped out of my hands, and fell heavily on the cover (linoleum + carpet). At the telephone, nothing was ringing in the guts, but the cameras were roaring down. Good, the rozsharuvannya zupinilosya and far not progressing, and photo-video does not spit on the quality.

The sound of the video, while moving in messengers, is quiet and close behind the frequencies to the top and bottom, the sensitivity is low and there is a “telephone” effect. Look at the butt of the video on the phone, rewind to the middle - the noise from the cars is almost audible. The voice is written in the same way. (Confirmed by others on w3bsit3-dns.com)

At active Bluetooth(sound at the speakers, at the headphones), WiFi security the floorboards are falling, so youtube is switching from 1080p to 240p. (Confirmed by others on w3bsit3-dns.com)

I have a phone of 2 tyzhnі, and even more inconspicuously the push button began to press. Click Mayzhe sign, wanting the button itself is still working.

There was some glue dripping around the edge of the display. I saw it nigth without a trace, dribnitsa, but it was unacceptable.

Packing and equipment.

There was a box in the box, a phone in the middle, a hard, thin matte case, USB Type C cable (USB 2.0), Charging with a Chinese plug, 5V 2A.

Zovnishhnіy vglyad that governing bodies.

The most beautiful black rectangle with rounded edges ©, is surrounded by black, white and dark blue colors.

Zzadu dvokolirny slakh and zdvoeny (yak bi) camera.

Dzhe mucus, plastic surface, like miraculously picking up fingertips. Through tse, in the hands it’s nasty to lie, it’s constantly smeared to droop.

Fingerprint scanner on the front, at the bottom. The scanner works normally, there is no need to respect it every day.

A hole for sound output at the upper part (the loudspeaker itself at the lower case) and a front camera. In the same place at the right kutku, rich barvniy light indicator, which shows unread messages, skipped calls too soon. The brightness of yoga is close to 0, and it sleeps once every 3 seconds for a tenth of a second, so yoga doesn’t, more, no color, no work modes.

Slot for SIM cards and memory cards (combinations).

Type C socket and holes for microphone and speaker

Keys keruvannya on the side.

Android 7.1.1 + Nadbudova Smile UX. Looks like MIUI, ZenUI and other bixby teams that make minimal changes to the standard Android look, but the editor is your own, don’t remember the fonts for the defaults, change the icons without frames and embellishments. Є energy saving modes. vivantazhennya dodatku too. Those that are practical for all shells. The working system is stable, the phone is out of the box with Chinese firmware, so you need Google services, you need to sew Taiwanese. Firmware - let's put the file with the firmware in the root of the file system, after the phone has been re-uploaded, it will prompt itself to update it. I didn’t know everyday problems from hanging up with non-working programs. There is only a problem with programs that are installed through Amazon. The stench is launched only through the Amazon program, when you try it, start it without intermediary, "amazon appstore is required to launch application"

Productivity and testing.

I’m not a Gamer, so sometimes I’ll play Tetris and play Wordam, I put all the great games on May, like they were in the market, everything spins smoothly and without hiccups. The results of the tests are higher.

Battery with minimal charge (wifi, 4g enabled, gmail via skin 15 times per mail, music - 15 times, rommovie - 10 times, social services- year). Screen on "Auto" bright.

With the best mode for me, the phone lives up to 7-8 years in the evening. For povnyannya, my samsung galaxy Note 8 shows the last hour of autonomy.

The hour of charging the battery did not exactly set in the distance, but the charge is low. Qualcomm QC 3.0 charging is supported, but the maximum is that it was possible to change it in this mode, at 9 volts and 1.5A. The phone can be charged with a strum maximum 1.5A

The speed of 4G is normal. I can’t say anything about Band 20, because we don’t have vines.

Wifi is working fine, the speed is good, but there is a problem with one-hour work with Bluetooth, the speed is obscenely low and can be irritated. Switching to 5GHz does not correct the situation.

Axis two screenshots.

Bluetooth enabled

Think again, but turn on Bluetooth and play music from Spotify

The speed often drops even more, so YouTube switches to 240p mode, even more.

Pratsyuє normal, like for communication with other outbuildings, so for using a smartphone like payment terminalіz addendum TSKAPP.

Tse QUALCOMM, so, zrozumіlo, there are no problems with GPS every day.

Connection to a computer.

Daily problems and cim tezh. Receivingly pleased with the speed of copying, navit unfailingly on MTP, 785mb file from the phone was copied for repeating the hvilini!

Screen.

Just a vіdmіnny screen wіth arcuate, contrasting colors and vіdminnimi kuta. V_n laying garni, scho navit know people stray yoga with OLED. Ale situation troshki psuyut mow along the kutah.

The stock of radiance is sufficient, dynamic regulation is normal, there is no merehtinnya on the minimum radiance.

The screen may be oleophobic, completely normal, fingertips may not be overwhelmed.

The screen on the phone is twisted, and in the settings you can switch the robot to the program. Є 3 options:

1. Crop - the program will display a picture in 1920x1080, and the female animal will always show the notification icons. In my opinion, the best mode.

2. Primus' draw. For all programs

3. Adaptive mode - regular programs (for example, a camera and a player), which will be shown on the top screen, and other programs in 1920x1080.

Sound.

The loudness of the loudspeaker is average, on the Galaslivy street and like a phone with a bag, you can miss the call. Basiv is practically dumb, high is. The sound of the speaker is of medium volume, the sound of the telephone is only midrange and the compression is good, the resolution is good. The sensitivity of the microphone is good;

Vibro.

Vibro here is high-frequency and weak. In the swarm of pants, shirts are worn, in bags and backpacks - no.

Camera.

The camera is good, there is little noise, the color transmission is good, the clarity of the temple. Є hardware botsi (through the depth sensor), sleeping (so sobi) and working HDR. Video maximum is written in 4K/30fps/40mbit, mono sound. in Open Camera you can set 60fps, but in the bag file you will have 30fps yourself. The quality of video recording is normal, like in the daytime, so at night. The frame rate per second with poor lighting does not decrease, that's a plus.

Video example, early, frowning:

When editing a photo, you can add different frames, effects, adjust bokeh, adjust colors. I will turn on the manual mode, if all settings can be set manually.

The macro of the smartphone is completely normal:

Crop from the center:

HDR is not good:

The other camera behind the fact is the depth sensor, so it’s fantastic to see the bots on the phone.

Crop of the upper edge, like on the right cameras.

(This is our lecturer from the DBMS, the admin stopped me from publishing “look around” my friends, but without saying anything about the lecturers)

The bokeh is not just the background, but the front, like on the right cameras.

Navit with poor lighting, the phone will provide a good picture, the axis on this photo, the illumination is 25W, the lamp is heated in a night light.

The sleep is not much stronger, in the photo - walk up to the wall about the second meter.

It is necessary to take a good picture with poor lighting, and it is possible to install the phone on a tripod, or if you want to turn it up to the point, you can activate the manual mode. For example, on this photo is a 1/2 sec vitrimka, ISO 200.

The front camera for a selfie is suitable, and although there is little noise, it is obviously not up to the main level.

In short, the camera is the best, what is on this phone :))))))

Viewers of all photos in a glance + deakі іnshі, you can take advantage of the request:

Let's pіdіb'yu pіdbags.

Phone viyshov zmіshany. From one side, miraculously closed, garni design.

My thought - take the phone right away not varto, more often than not for two or three months, there will be more koristuvachiv, more knowledge about glitches. From the drive of what to fix the sound quality or the problem of Wifi + Bluetooth, rather than the illusion, don’t weep - they didn’t fix it for the river, don’t fix it at once. I also happen to live from cym.

On the number of prohannya in the form of coristuvachiv, yakі check this phone from jd.ru and still haven’t taken it, let’s tell you about the purchase and delivery

The phone was closed on the 17th of April, after the fact that the money was published for the money. Paid via paypal.

On another third day, they gave a track to the RNxxxxxxxxMY format, which was not recognized. After about 10 days, the track was replaced with a real one. (LY039224790CN) The parcel was delivered to the address of the intermediary in the USA on the 11th of May, and after 4 days I received it.

Plan to buy +6 Add in the frame A look worthy +5 +25

In this review, I will propagate to get to know the frameless AQUOS S2 from the world-famous electronics manufacturer - Sharp. The smartphone is three times lower, but when we do it, we call it like a call, so in the middle and price it regardless of those that the Japanese “root” has now become a part of the Chinese company Foxconn. It is important to note that from the moment of its appearance in the serpnі of the past rock, the model was quickly worthy of purchases and continued to earn great popularity.

One of the main features of the Aquos S2 was the stagnation of Free Form Display technology, which is why the front camera was left on the primary position, leaning against the “fitted” into the screen. I don’t know for sure how it sounded so special, but the sound of the Aquos S2 is much more reminiscent of Essential PH-1, so, to the point, you can stray when you look at it.

In addition, regardless of the great 5.5-inch display, which occupies maybe 85% of the frontal surface area, under the screen there is also a finger scanner, in general, the list of smartphone characteristics looks like an upcoming rank.

Packing and equipment

The smartphone is delivered in an important, decent-looking box of solid paperboard, which also looks unusual - according to the principle of a sirnikova box.



The smartphone kit comes with a 5v/2A charger, a USB Type-C cable, an audio adapter from USB Type-C to mini-jack, a hard plastic “bumper”, a pin for removing the SIM card tray, as well as instructions and a warranty ticket.





Zovnіshnіy vglyad that governing bodies

First, what falls into the vіchі - tse even compact expansions, as if for the same reason they cannot be seen from the declared screen at 5.5 inches.

When describing the expansion of the camera, it is customary to say “above the screen”, but in to this particular type It would be most correct to say that the camera here is placed at the upper part of the screen in the middle due to the proximity with light sensors.

Above them, near the narrow expanse between the screen and the frame, there is a roaming speaker, and also a small one, I say, I remember the memory, tricolor light of the indicator light.



At the bottom, under the screen, there is a logo of the scanner, as well as an oval scanner for fingerprints.

At the end of the bottom there is a USB Type-C rose, an external speaker, as well as an opening for a pink microphone.

The upper end is free of any roses, the connection of the headset is connected through the same lower usb Type-C for the help of a complete adapter.

Right-handed are the buttons for unlocking and adjusting the density, left-handed is the combination tray, which allows you to place either two SIM-cards in the nano format, or replace one of them with a memory card in the microSD format.





The smartphone is released in dekilkoh variants of zabarvlennya, in the middle of some black or in this type - color. The case back is invisibly and vikonan made of smooth glossy plastic with glittering inclusions. Varto indicate which is the most expensive version this smartphone with a more productive "growth" in such a way the material of the back cover is vikorated.

At the lower part of the rosettes is the logo of a virobnik, the beast is a lionhander - the opening of a noise-canceling noise-canceling microphone, the bulging “island” of the double main camera and the two-colored light LED-illumination under it.



I think that the very fact of the presence of a protruding part on back krishtsi A smartphone cannot be called the right solution, but if you look at the sloppy camera, everything is not so bad - the camera is in a small ditch and does not stick on the surface.

Display

Smartphone otrimav screen diagonal 5.5 inches. Allowed to become more decent for such a size of 2040x1080 pixels, it also claims 135-hundreds of sRGB color space and a maximum brightness of 550 cd / m².

When you turn it on, it becomes obvious that you have AMOLED in front of you. Yaskrava, juicy color transfer for the locking of warmth, which can be done with the help of obvious programmatic adjustments.



It’s not surprising, but with the technology of preparing the matrix, it may have become one of the main power supplies for this model, and I don’t understand why Sharp was victorious here - like TFT or its own company IGZO. At Merezhya, there are various permits for the first drive, to intervene in given food well, but still, when reversing the components of the system for the additional utility AIDA64, we take information about the presence of IGZO here.

It didn’t seem like it was there, but it doesn’t blame the screen for the daily food, the picture is full, there is a margin for radiance, under the maximum cuts the picture is practically not created. On the sunscreen, the screen also looks readable, including in the sunglass eyepieces.

The display itself is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass with smooth rounded edges around the perimeter (2.5D), which is not oleophobic, so the code and bits are not so memorable and can be erased without problems.











The screen with a 2040x1080p window is suitable for reading, with a pixel width of 420ppi, you can only look at it for the great bigness.

Dimensions and ergonomics

As I already guessed earlier, the small AQUOS S2 dizzies start to wonder if the 5.5” screen claims are true. To understand, the smart phone is compact, I’ll take a look at the new order from the “framework” Elephone P8 from the same 5.5 ″ screen diagonal.

Mass and expansion of the AQUOS S2 as a whole allow you to take it easy and work with it with one hand, but unfortunately the rounded shape of the case does not allow you to attach it to the bottom, it’s a bit of a shoe, and you constantly catch yourself on the vdchutt, that the smartphone can just slug and fall. The problem of milking dryly is caused by the jamming of the complete plastic cover-bumper. Vіn, to the speech, to finish thin and practically do not zbіshuє vіzualnі razmіri pristroy, but with tsomu it is positively signified on sruchnosti utrimannya. True, I did, having pleased you, not a plastic one, but a silicone bumper of this kind, it’s easier to know that clothes and you won’t break apart when you fall, you’ll see a plastic twin.



Operating system and interface

Sharp AQUOS S2 is based on Android 7.1.1 OS, and Smile UX is the main shell here. When the master of the system is turned on, he will select the language, among the list of which are Russian.

Depending on the market, AQUOS S2 is produced with two firmware options - Chinese (CN) and Taiwanese (WW). Looking around at the copy of the letters from China, apparently there is a Chinese firmware installed with the prefix CN in the name of the collection, as it looks like in the Taiwanese day. Google services, as well as the presence of a large number of Chinese programs.

Switching to the Taiwanese "international" version appeared to be easy to download and can be downloaded without going to the help of a computer. For this, it is necessary to download the firmware from a .zip-archive and not unpack it, transfer it to the root folder of the smartphone.

Coming soon, it is necessary to change the archives, changing the firmware number to the next one up, tobto. If the stock folder (in the information about the operating system) is called “00CN_1_35H”, then in the name of the archive it is necessary to change “…135H…” to “…136H…”. Do not hesitate to ensure that the system accepts all archives for new version firmware.

Once completed, the smartphone will remove the international firmware with the prefix "WW" from the installed store. Additions Play and other services like Google.

Standard functionality "clean" operating system additions to a number of core functions, among which you can name:

  • the possibility of adjusting the size of the font;
  • reading mode (the screen fills up with a yellow color);
  • game mode for selected programs;
  • using the phone for additional gestures on the screen, as well as changing your position (somatosensory movement);
  • the possibility of recording video from the screen (with sound from the microphone) has been introduced;
  • optimization of the resource selection of the system, which is tuned;
  • change the position of the virtual screen control keys;
  • modes of saving the battery charge, including for the additional transfer of the screen to black-and-white mode.
It doesn’t take a lot of time to unlock a smartphone for an additional password of a finger, for which it is necessary to indicate a backup method of unlocking, for example, for an additional chotir-digit pin-code, and then put your finger to the scanner until the little green-colored finger is locked.

The scanner itself works just visually, there are practically no practical ways to use it, the vodbit is recognized independently from the kuta, under which a finger is applied. The only respect due to the fall of accuracy, as if the hands are wet, here the recognition does not have to go far.

How to round off the screen

It is necessary to pay attention to the Sharp engineers, who made the corners of the screen matrix not rounded (like in all), but sloping stench, insanely, they could screw up respect, but to say that given decision I wouldn’t have known to go to the ranks in the distance.

In this situation, it’s just “less than an eye”, you can call insanely and after a certain hour you just stop giving respect, but for those who can’t calm down, use special costless supplement Rounded Corner

We want to install the program, in the settings we set the option Rozmіr value 100, and in the Corners section we can see the outermost buttons, which are used for rounding the lower corners and by the same token we remove only the upper ones. For the sake of it, you can independently experiment with adjustments, otherwise we will take the result, similar to that shown in the photo below. As earlier on the screenshots all the cuts were left straight, then after the software rounding is done, the result will be also remembered on the screen icons.

Call and wireless interface

The smartphone supports the work with the advancing standards mobile call: GSM (900/1800/1900 MHz), CDMA (800 MHz), WCDMA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz), TD-SCDMA (Band 34, 39), FDD-LTE (Band 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 28), TDD-LTE (Band 34, 38, 39, 40, 41).

The quality of the call is generally good, the sensibility is like you, so the speaker does not cry out. Still, it’s obvious that the speaker is a little nasty, the bulk of the negotiation dynamics can be promoted for the help of goydalka regulation, though it’s necessary to work without fanaticism, otherwise it’s sensitive to the second and everything, so you’ll settle for the next step.

The smartphone supports Bluetooth 4.2, all current Wi-Fi standards (802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4/5 GHz), moreover, here NFC works as well, so you can use it for making purchases without worrying for the help of a plastic card (translated into Kukurudzi).

The positioning system supports the robot both with the American GPS and with the Russian GLONASS. In addition, although it is not declared in the characteristics, the other copy also shows satellites of the Baidu system.

System and productivity

The hardware part of this version of Aquos S2 is based on the 8-core Snapdragon 630 processor (a version of the popular Snapdragon 625) with a maximum frequency of 2.2 GHz, for the graphics warehouse here it is Adreno 508, the amount of RAM is 4 GB (LPD4 in total 4 GB). It means that the version of this smartphone that has been put in may have its highest-class processor - Snapdragon 660, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

The smartphone has successfully passed the verification of the correctness and productivity, then for the results of the Antutu Benchmark v.7 test, you managed to score three more than 88,000 points.

More results from a few popular tests.

In games, you will show yourself a lot of good, in World Of Tanks BLITZ, navigate to maximum lashings graphics, fallow in location, speed of underpainting often reaches the maximum value of 60 FPS, without seeming to be about the average setting. I was pleased that, under the great adventures, the smartphone does not become a “pichka”, it heats up insanely, but does not call for great discomfort.




Battery and autonomy

The smartphone has an unknown lithium-polymer battery with a declared capacity of 3020 mAh, which, when tested, showed a slightly more modest result. Insanely, as if to guess about the great diversity of the screen, then such a seemingly small capacity can already be said about the small autonomy.

It should be true, but if you use energy-efficient technology on the screen itself, as well as a very economical processor, everything does not look so bad, as it looked at first glance. As a result, in the mode of intensive battery life, it is not enough to charge the battery for long periods of time, so that the smartphone can be continuously charged with a screen close to the maximum brightness in the online video mode, then the battery will be charged for approximately 5-6 years.

Complete charger the smartphone gains 100% charge in about 2.5 years, but for the whole hour you can speed up the troch for the mind of using "Swedish charging".

Camery

The main camera with a separate building of 12 megapixels is based on the Sony IMX362 Exmor RS sensor, the aperture is set to F / 1.75, and the pixel size is 1.4 microns. The other dual module has a separate setting of 8 megapixels (it is used to create the effect of blurring the background “bokeh”). The front camera is also 8-megapixel.

Speaking of which, the Sony IMX362 Exmor RS sensor is also available and does not require a download. The camera can be more realistic in color transmission, the maximum size of photos is 4032x3024px, the maximum size of video is 4K (3840x2160p) at 30 fps, with stereo sound (96 kb/s). The file extension is mp4. Light day of light, like a big modern smartphones, you can practice like a lighter (activation for an additional button at the top "curtain").

In the automatic mode, the camera program has been introduced to support more of the necessary manual adjustments, different color filters, editing options, as well as the overlay and folding of photo collages “on the fly”, including the function of automatic selection for other commercial purposes.



Dekіlka applied a photo, breaking up the gloomy weather. For promotions, the skin icon is indicated by a watermark, but this function can be deactivated for special purposes through the settings menu.







In the photo below, I would like to show respect, as if the camera was fast moving in a dynamic scene. Tsya scene was taken in a vipadkovo literally on the fly: the lad lives and roams the doves, with which the photo does not show any kind of rosemary in Russia, everything was caught by the wave of the enchanting wand.

In part of the popular background rose effect, the smartphone also showed itself badly. No, everything is obviously not perfect here, the camera is often merciful, but all the same you don’t go to the same time with the most budgetary two-cameramen, de rose is superimposed stupidly on everything that is not in the center of the picture and goes beyond the singing radius.

The level of rosemary can be regulated independently, domagyuchis tsim stern and tsikovogo result.

The axis is so, for example, looking at the effect on the middle adjustments. Below you can see that the automation tried to smear everything that passed beyond the contour of the bench, but all the same troch was touched by the image at the upper part.

For comparison, three photos of the same object (turning to the right) are shown without a rosette, with a rosette at the middle and at the maximum value.




In part of the front camera, everything is also done well here, and one of the pluses in this link is the ability to turn off the camera for the help of the button for adjusting the volume (the function is turned on for locking), because of the obviousness of the “selfie club” you can turn it on through the switch a complete adapter and take care of your beloved bagatma on the right.

The sharpness of the image is even better, I was especially pleased with the realistic transmission of the color, but unfortunately, through the lack of autofocus of the front camera, the sharpness sometimes overwhelms the beauty.

For bajannyam, re-sized the originals of the above photos can be downloaded.

Before shooting a video, it doesn’t matter to a good camera, as the recording suffers greatly when shooting by hand, because a stabilization system has been introduced into smartphones every day. Yakshcho pіd hour zyomki, z urakhuvannya nadalshvidko dans chinnik and graє great significance, tk. the signs all the same look clear, then when you watch the video, be sure to remember the tremtinnya.

Visnovok

Insanely, as stated earlier, the smartphone is not ideal and may have a number of minuses, such as the presence of a 3.5 mm audio jack, the rear camera, which is not viable, the lack of stabilization when recording video and a relatively small battery. And yet, it’s not less, so you can guess about all the advantages of the AQUOS S2 until you can see a compact size, a wonderful screen, make it harder to “close”, the NFC is so rich, you can see the camera, it’s invisible old look, and also marvel at the price, like lying near the “less than $ 200” segment, you can given modelє one of the shortest options for today.

Vіn zrobleniy not similar to competitors, may have an original soundness, as by itself you can build a wealthy stupidity, but you can still add it.

At the time of writing, looking back, the price of the Sharp AQUOS S2 in blue was $159.

The slipped version with the Snapdragon 660 processor, 6/128 GB of memory and a glass cover cost $255

Dyakuёmo for respect that all good!

Having bought a large part of Sharp Corporation, the Chinese giant Foxconn began to think about how to work with її mobile software. Smartphones InFocus began to appear under the Japanese brand, and the last fate began to be afraid to try to let go of the cicavishe. The stench of the Aquos S2 has begun - I'll build it to repeat and rethink the practical legendary EDGEST design concept. In the spring of this year, Sharp Aquos S2 appeared on the shelves of stores in transcordon trade with a savory price tag - about ten thousand rubles.

Complete set and design

Those who before us are not the correct Japanese Sharp, but the Chinese version of Foxconn, become sensible, smartly opening the box. Nі-ni, nothing nasty in appearance, the purchase does not appear - on the other hand, in an unusually worn red-and-white box, everything is neatly laid out and a lot of all kinds of accessories, although the Japanese want to put only documentation and a couple of SIM-heads into the kit before the smartphone (a couple of That's why flagships were sold with such a kit). Right there, according to the Japanese standard, there is also a 3.5 mm adapter -> Type-C, a USB cable, a 10-W charger from a Chinese plug and a plastic case.

The case protects all the ends, the camera, which protrudes, and the edges of the sides, the front panel. There is only one problem: the sides are crushed to finish roughly. Through it, using a phone with a complete case is not very acceptable.

The smartphone is available in several colors: blue, white, green and black. There is also a top version with a glass back panel in three colors (black, white, blue) and a larger dark hall. Vaughn chomus richly expensive for zvichayna, and vіdminnostі clearly do not cost such an overpayment. The original version has a plastic back panel of the smartphone, moreover, glossy plastic. Regardless of the price, the panel looks like a circle: a ball of unevenly filled with plastic zahovaniya under the surface of the ball, which gives a visual impression of a glassy backdrop. I especially like the Sharp logo, which is applied over a transparent ball and sees a shadow on the farba - dribnitsa, but it looks even cooler.

Not less tsіkavo - that scho is already there, richly tsіkavіshe - the front panel is framed. As I wrote earlier, Foxconn tried to replicate the EDGEST design, only once without sacrificing front camera upgrades. For her, a small-width window was arranged on the screen. You can’t name your eyebrows, hurry up, nipple. Sob the screen is wider, lying down to the edge of the case, which, if not so, is not indestructible, the virobnik has broken the view of the display folds. Do not round off, but see for yourself - this, perhaps, is the last decision of the designers of Aquos S2. Fortunately, the Play Market has a program that allows you to throw off zrіzi (bevels are physically closed, but the program is rounded off).

Nareshti, from the bottom of the screen, in the best traditions of EDGEST, there is a chimale of the pick. There was a fingerprint scanner (it doesn't work too fast, sometimes you ask to touch your finger more, then you can open your fingers) and another Sharp logo. Bagatioh tse pіdborіdya fights strongly, but I don’t seem to have given special respect. And the axis on which you pay respect when using the Aquos S2 - tse on ergonomics. A smartphone, regardless of the 5.5 "display, looks compact. It can be easily folded with one hand. All the buttons on the ends are folded in handy places and are easily matted, stretched to nothing. The phone does not hang from the hands, for what you need the presence of oleophobic coating on the back, so, through a new phone, it is important to improve in a commodity look, but ergonomics, maybe, important.

5.5" screen Sharp Aquos S2 works behind LCD technology and can be expanded 2040x1080 pixels (17: 9, like the first Xiaomi Mi Mix). The screen is good. nego.Vtіm, in the midst of LCD technology, it is important to do something.

Software security

Sharp Aquos S2 came to us from Chinese firmware, in Russian language, but there are no Google services. It's rather awkward to reflash to normal software, we published the instructions. Firmware Navit GMS-certified! As often happens with Chinese smartphones, the "green robot" is not given in a clean look, the Smile UX firmware is being promoted. Chinese firmware is not so often overwhelmed with positive feedback, but it was worthy of me. Let's talk a little more about her.

All program icons are located on desktops, there is no program menu to be seen. Tue, eat up complete list The programs can still be navigated awkwardly: when you open the folder, be it a label, you can swipe left-handed-right-handed, trapping in other folders, and having a big folder, enter “All”, which, in fact, is the same menu of additions. In the launcher, you can change the grid (4x5 or 5x5), block the movement of shortcuts, or push them to the bottom of the screen (manually, as the phone still seems great to you). As the most common working style, you can customize HiBoard - search for the names of attachments, contacts and SMS texts. Swipe to the beast opens the whole screen curtain, and you can swipe from any place on the screen. In the middle of the jumpers, you can find the button to store the video on the screen.

On the other hand, the riddle deserves the menu of rich tasks. New has two modes. The traditional one occupies the entire screen, and one hour you can see here and again previews of addenda. In the compact mode, you can see a couple of thumbnails in front of you, before that, there is a visible larger screen, on which you have shown the menu. For me, the menu was created richly succulent, lower-sounding, wanting to taste on the right, splendidly.

Standard programs are just standard, tell nothing about them. Є addition "Temi", ale vin postiyno skarzhitsya on filthy internet(maybe, it’s important to connect to servers in China), and it’s impossible for him to show up to him. From the functions of "Nalashtuvannyakh" you can set the display parameters, the ability to set graphic key on the programs, gesture control chips, S Boost (you can defragment the disk!), the function of changing the location of the buttons on the navigation panel, the button to mute the smart assistant RoboS and other devices. You can nalashtovuvati, like a double-screen program, they work at 17:9 - they are stretched out, or they make you swarm with black viriz. Incomplete screen programs start even lower than smuga, and the status bar behind them looks even wider and more flexible.

The firmware has not been transferred to the end, but it's badly messed up. A lot of points do not provide an explanation. For example, I still don’t know the latest RoboS robots, so it’s not explained anywhere why it’s so. Having turned on the HiBoard in the launcher's settings, I did it for a long time, thinking that the keyboard is yakby vipadkovo without swiping the left hand on the left work table, writing in looking around that this thing does not work. At the parameters of the row, it will be possible to change the indicator, but it is not explained anywhere. And so far. Ale navit without tsikh taєmnichih opіzіy Smile UX vstachaє tsіkavogo. Foxconn was able to download the best firmware. After the stingy software of the InFocus M810T, I'm already squealing.

Camery

The main camera of the Sharp Aquos S2 is submerged. Another base module on an 8-megapixel sensor, but only needed for shading the background. Main lens: 12-megapixel sensor with 1.4 micron pixels, six-lens optics with f/1.75 light power. Є sleeping: two-colored. Camera add-on has professional mode manual settings frame parameters. And also the integration of the creation of timelapses.

Ale, a word about the photographs. The stench of the Sharp Aquos S2 looks different depending on what you know. Close plans and macro look miraculous. And the axis with distant plans - some problems - noise reduction starts to turn the image into watercolor, and sharper unnaturally sees all sorts of darts and borders. With any oversharp in the "Sharp" without a hitch, after the noise reduction - sometimes you see between the watercolor strokes. Ale, vtim, all the same, it’s not necessary to fall into the vіchі. Don't be surprised, the pictures suit you. Well, I can't help noticing the swedish autofocus - only navіv on the object, and the wine is already at the focus. Also varto add that enthusiasts can get more out of the camera. google wiki Camera.

The front camera can be 8 megapixels and nothing can be seen from the outside. A camera is like a camera to shoot a whole lot of self-portraits, if you want to get into the area of ​​focusing, it’s not easy for the faces. The Sharp Aquos S2 cannot be seen before the selfie phone. Your viriz is not true - in the nipple / prisch / well of such rozmiriv it is possible to accommodate a camera.

Even more swedish autofocus is quiet and the video is captured for an hour, but there is nothing more to please. The sound is not recorded naturally, there is no stabilization. Natomist can write 4K. The soonest time-lapse does not get better, but after the locks it will become 30s more pleasant.

Productivity and testing

The basis of the original version of Sharp Aquos S2 is the Snapdragon 630 chipset, the company will install 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM. The amount of free RAM after reloading becomes approximately 2.5 GB. Even if the memory is not enough - you can insert a microSD card up to 128 GB, but it will take one of the two nano-SIM slots. Let's turn back, prote, to productivity. Benchmarks:

Snapdragon 630 - finish tight chipset, especially the plan of its own graphic warehouse. It's a good idea to get viable games (Injustice 2, Unkilled, Asphalt Extreme, World of Tanks) to go to Sharp Aquos S2 without a hitch with the maximum available graphics upgrades. Pіdlagodzhuvannya traplyayutsya in okremih vpadkakh - for example, in Injustice 2 at the first start, if vin n_by schos kashuє. More powerful games can be played, but such familiar ones are not rich and only flagships can play with them.

Sharp Aquos S2 get warm. Grease strongly for an hour. I tried to get into Air Attack 2, while World of Tanks zavantazhuvav and unpacked my cache, and it was important to do it. Rear panel plastic, it doesn’t heat up too much - but through it all the heat seeps into the metal frame, you don’t want to trim for a yak when you want to. Ale, when it comes to cіkavo, throttling is practically mute. AnTuTu changes productivity without mentioning it, GFXBench recorded a drop here by 12% after 15-20 minutes after a cob of good dough.

Battery capacity to become 3020 mAh. For charging USB socket Type-C. The characteristics stated support for Quick Charge 3.0, and a complete charger for a total of 10 watts. For the normal operation of the smartphone, you get a day, but no more. The Sharp Aquos S2 can be charged. The results of our traditional tests: the latest rating when showing a video is 6 years 45 years, the rating per year for Asphalt Extreme is 19%. GFXBench transmits 268.5 hours of play without recharging, which is more optimistic than our test results.

The smartphone supports LTE, a lot of Russian sleepers. On the forums, there is a lot of koristuvachіv skarzhatsya on the problems of zakіstyu zv'azku that know їх virіshennya, but I'm not sticking with them. (Update: as we were told in the comments, the problems with the sound are quiet, who have upgraded to Oreo, which does not work.) NFC, which is a common misfortune in Chinese non-top smartphones, can be overcome for purchases.

Sharp S2 - the grace of technology

Ergonomic and stylish design

A compact case made of joxy metal and polycarbonate embellishments with an undermount camera, a frameless screen with modern mottled glass for the front photomodule and a fingerprint scanner on the front panel. It's simply impossible not to be so red-faced.

See yourself as a photographer

The main 12 and 8-megapixel receptors in Samsung outperform those of most of the gadget's opponents in Sharp, guaranteeing the detail of the image and the amount of noise generated by the average lighting. "Frontalka" at the top of the megapixels tezh varta compliments.

Technology in leather details

NFC (contactless payments) and the function of quick charging of a large 2700mAh battery transform the device into shortest choice for the sovereign cost.

In 2013, Sharp introduced the first frameless smartphone Aquos. Vіn mav only one large frame at the bottom, in which the front camera was placed, which created unhandiness when taking selfies and video calls. The smartphone Aquos S2 has been corrected for its shortfall.

The retailers were able to place a camera at the top of the monitor. But the stinks weren't the first to die: this is the solution to the Essential Phone smartphone. Sharp stated that the screen occupies 87.5% of the area of ​​the Aquos S2. Nibito's record high for the Mi MIX smartphone is 91.3%. However, the experts showed that Xiaomi cheated with the deaths and actually reduced the display area to the panel of the extension - no more than 84%. Also Aquos S2 becoming a record holder.

The smartphone has a 5.5-inch display with 2040 × 1080 pixels. The new non-standard aspect ratio is 17:9. Under the display, a large finger scanner was placed on the middle of the smartphones - less than 3.6 mm. Also, the smartphone does not have a loud pink speaker. A special speaker was introduced into the new one, a kind of vicarist's bone conductivity. These were installed in the first generation of Aquos smartphones.
