How long have you had this device?
Already 5 months, I bought it by accident, choosing even from more expensive models and brands.
Do you use it until now? If not, why did you break up with him?
I use it as the main smart for every day, my broken Lumiya 925 is on the shelf, and Jinga completely replaced it.
How did you get this device? By what criteria was it chosen? Where and how much was bought?
I looked a lot in online stores for various models for inexpensive. The problem of online stores is that in fact there are no all phones in the lists, but live only expensive smarts and a couple of last year's ones. Why order a product that you have not seen? BUT this model chose - simply, she stood in a window somewhere quite in the corner, in a large chain store household appliances, even considered the option of a restored smart brand. As a result, the sales assistant offered to consider this option, as a new one. He held it in his hand, looked and took it.
What do you like? Strengths, dignity.
Taken to replace the broken Lumiya 925, bought for 19 tr. Completely replaced in all functions. Strengths are iron, it's really good here for its price, it's well assembled.
What's not to like? Weaknesses, shortcomings.
There were problems with the firmware - you can not write applications to a flash card, and too little space has been given to this on the phone itself. In this regard, there are a lot of people in the networks who make money on firmware, copying numbers and other data from each other, after which the phone fails for many, and is no longer under warranty. Representatives should pay attention to such swindlers who spoil the image of the company.
What do you miss in it?
Updates, solving the memory problem that is described above, unlocking by touch.
What features do you use often?
Wi-Fi, Camera, Calls, Flashlight, Internet.
What features do you use occasionally?
All the various Google browsers, they are simply not needed here.
What features do you not use at all?
Google browsers.
Has the device been repaired?
What troubles happened with the device?
Missed from the hands to the floor 1 time.
What glitches were noticed?
There were, but rare ones, I used to work with Lumiya on Windows, I might think or glitch, hinting at the word "slow down".
Try to compare this device with other models that you have used.
I can compare with many famous brands that can cost 10 tr today. more expensive, and do not give as much pleasure as this smart one.
What else can you say?
If you don’t ask him for incomprehensible things, like from top smart phones for 50 tr, then it’s quite a good option, suitable for an adult, since there is nothing superfluous and the price is low, for a student or young people in general, if the brand is not important, but need low price and the most modern equipment. And so I would add a firmware update, a fingerprint scanner, more expensive proximity and light sensors, and most importantly, an unlock with a touch on the display.
8. Yes, I can tell you about this brand.

Positioning
Many second-tier manufacturers are chasing the minimum cost of their devices, and adding some kind of technology to them, which should attract the buyer to their solution. For example, with the advent of 4G, many began to produce such smartphones with a minimum screen size and a small battery in order to save on everything, but give the consumer the same 4G. This approach seems wrong to me, since the technology as such loses its meaning, you need to understand that 4G requires a larger battery capacity, and the screen size begins to play a role, it is impossible to watch streaming video comfortably on a small screen.
Jinga tried to create a compromise solution so that the smartphone has 4G support, a capacious battery and good screen, but the price remained at a low level. By choosing a budget but well-established MediaTek MT6735 LTE chipset, the company was able to drastically reduce the cost compared to solutions based on Qualcomm, but achieved best quality than on emerging LTE chipsets from Spreadtrum. Another point was the refusal to support all possible LTE bands, which would require a serious reworking of the antennas, the bands were limited to three - 3, 7 and 20. For most Russian operators that's enough and you'll get faster speeds than 3G. And for buyers of a budget LTE smartphone, this is not critical, since the traffic consumption profile is very different from a “heavy” user, it is completely different. Often I hear that this is a disadvantage and it is desirable to have support for all possible ranges. In theory this is true, in practice the question is how much you are willing to overpay for features that you will not see and most of the time you will not need them. There is no answer to this question, but most people vote for their choice with a ruble and choose cheaper device options.
In its class, the Jinga HOTZ M1 is interesting for the price, as it offers a good screen, battery and 4G support for minimal money, let's try to figure out what is good in this device and what needs to be improved.
Design, dimensions, controls
An inexpensive phone does not mean that it uses "bad" materials or suffers from build quality, it all depends on the manufacturer, as well as the expectations of the buyer. The case in Jinga HOTZ M1 is made of plastic, the back cover is removed, inside there is a battery and slots for SIM-cards and memory cards. Despite the collapsible design, the device is assembled firmly, there are simply no backlashes.
When buying, please note that you can choose a blue or white model.
The blue color looks very calm, it is discreet. In the white version, gloss appears, it shows handprints better, which is not the case in the blue device. But white looks more spectacular, so here you should choose what is closer to you. There are people who do not like devices in white at all, believing that it is impractical. This is not entirely true, but arguing about tastes is useless.
The dimensions of the phone are 143x70.4x8.3 mm, the weight is 140 grams. It is typical for 5-inch smartphones, but the weight is minimal based on the size of the battery. The side edge is made under the metal, has a corrugation, which allows the device not to slip in the hands. At the same time, the oleophobic coating is of average quality, fingerprints are clearly visible, but there is nothing else in this price group, everyone has about the same thing.
Under the screen, you can see three touch keys. Control elements are located in the device conveniently. So, the power button is on the right side, the paired volume rocker is on the left. The headset jack is on the top end, but the microUSB-connector is on the bottom. There is no light indicator of events in the device, but on the upper end you can find an infrared port for control household appliances, the phone can be used as a remote control.
Inside the device you will see two slots for microSIM, as well as memory cards. In general, we can evaluate the assembly quality of this device and reliability as high, which already means a lot for this class of devices.
Display
The screen is made using IPS technology, it is 5 inches with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Viewing angles are good, picture quality. In the sun, the screen remains readable, especially with automatic brightness control. Unlike most devices of this class, the display here has a high-definition picture, it literally ringing. It is because of the screen that you should pay attention to this device, it is very, very good here.
Battery
This model used Li-Ion battery 3000 mAh capacity. It is impossible to call such a capacity a record, but together with the installed chipset it gives a very good result. Non-stop video playback time with maximum backlight brightness is about 6.5 hours.
With two installed SIM-cards, enabled data transfer in mobile network the device lasted three days, taking into account network operation (3.5 hours of screen operation, 50% backlight and automatic adjustment), up to 40 minutes of calls. By varying different parameters, you can get either one or two days in typical scenarios (for example, games are not included in them, for toys the operating time will also be short, which for children will be more for the benefit and a natural limitation), or three days of comfortable work. Time full charge The battery life is about 2 hours 45 minutes.
Communication options
There are no complaints about the work of GPS, it works efficiently and quickly. Supports USB Mass Storage when connected to a PC. There are no complaints about Bluetooth, USB 2.0 version. To Wi-Fi operation also no complaints.
Performance, memory, platform
The device is built on MediaTek platform MT6735 is a quad-core processor with a maximum clock speed of 1.3GHz. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, which is not much, but quite enough for a budget device. The amount of built-in memory is 8 GB.
The performance of this solution is not bad for its class, no complaints.
Camera
A typical 8 megapixel autofocus camera, you can look at sample shots, in the dark the camera is slow to focus, the pictures come out blurry, but in sunlight or good lighting everything is quite acceptable. Budget camera.
Software
The model works under Android control 5.1.1., an update to new versions is unlikely to be available. The phone has a built-in FM radio, you need to use a headset as it acts as an antenna. Typical unshelled solution, with pure android. Localization almost does not cause complaints, although there are funny artifacts, but they do not affect the overall perception of the device.
AT Play market you can find many applications for controlling household appliances using infrared, as a rule, they are free. You will only need to find the name of your device and select the codes from the list (base). In general, it works, but this function is additional, so you shouldn’t count on it too much, after all, the phone is not perceived by many as a remote control.
Impression
There are no complaints about the quality of communication with this device, the call is quite loud, although at the maximum it starts to choke a little, the vibrating alert is average in strength. The interlocutor hears you well.
There is another device in the Jinga line, which is similar to the model in question, this is the Basco M500 4G, it has a little better camera, but smaller size battery. The price at the same time is 8,990 rubles, while the device in question costs 7,990 rubles.
Models with similar specifications on Russian market almost none, more precisely, there are two competitors, one of them - ZTE Blade X3, which costs 8,990 rubles (price in Svyaznoy). Of its advantages, I note a 4000 mAh battery, which is compensated by an older chipset, as well as a subjectively slightly worse screen. Memory cards - only up to 32 GB. The difference in price is justified, but in fact these are devices of the same class.
There is also a model like the Ginzzu S5020, which is built on a stripped-down version of the same chipset as the Hotz M1, has a smaller battery (2150 mAh), memory cards up to 32 GB and exactly the same price.
Other analogues in cost start from 9-10 thousand rubles and more, which suggests that the Jinga Hotz M1 is well in its price group and gives the minimum cost for the proposed set of features. Of course, you can consider unknown manufacturers from China with mail delivery for a similar amount, but this means that you will not have a guarantee, you can only check the quality of the goods after use, and it will not necessarily be good. Lottery. While everything is clear with Jinga, and most importantly, there is a guarantee that will protect you.
The model turned out to be balanced, it’s not up to the mark, but you don’t expect this from a budget 4G smartphone with a 5-inch display for that kind of money. As a result, the device is in stable demand, it has good sales both in Eldorado and in Svyaznoy.
