Budget 3G-device for 2 SIM-cards with a price tag of 1,890 rubles. One of the key purposes of the smartphone is to give an inexpensive device to those potential Tele2 subscribers who are not ready to pay a lot for a device with 3G support. Tele2 Mini does not shine with characteristics, but there are no serious shortcomings, the device is not bad for its price.

In the capital region, the Tele2 network in 2G does not work, which means the loss of part of the audience. Smartphone for 1,890 rubles. solves the problem to some extent. It is strange that such a smartphone did not appear in Tele2 stores immediately at the start of the operator's work in Moscow. Judging by the then multi-page discussions on the topic “what to take?”, A smartphone would come in handy. Okay, better late than never.

For us, the device is interesting in terms of price / performance ratio. Tele2 Mini can be safely regarded as a standard "state employee" for understanding what set of technical properties can be expected today in the lowest price range of 3G devices. Also note that advertising like “smartphone for 490 rubles.” a little about something else. When selling a branded device in their stores, the operator decides for himself which part of the price to take for the smartphone itself, and which to issue in the form subscription fee in advance for a few months on the tariff. The full "issue price" is interesting. Tele2 Mini is sold without additional payments for the tariff, the price is 1,890 rubles. is final. Sometimes it does not do without the initiative of individual dealers (they impose a tariff on the subscriber when buying), but this is another topic.

Dots over "i"

The traditional section for those who want to immediately understand whether it makes sense to read the review to the end. The "Specifications" section does not reflect individual features that can greatly affect the convenience and comfort of the user.

There is no 4G support. In 3G the device works well, the sensitivity is slightly above average. There is no DC HSPA + support, so the real maximum speed data reception is about 14 Mbps (declared 21.6 Mbps), data transmission - 3.5 Mbps. Two SIM-cards, SIM-lock on the first slot. You can insert a SIM card of any operator into the second slot, but only 2G is supported. Card slot microSD memory present, max. 32 GB.

Benchmark AnTuTu assigned the device 12,384 virtual "parrots". For this class, it's normal, but games at maximum settings will not work. YouTube video plays in 480p, but 240p is better, in more high resolutions there are complaints about the colors.

For a 4-inch screen, a resolution of 800 x 480 with a pixel density of 233 ppi can be considered satisfactory for a budget device. The fuzziness of fonts and thin lines is present, at an angle the colors are distorted. However, I expected to see a screen of much worse quality, one might say a pleasant surprise. Good for TFT. The brightness margin is decent, in sunny weather the screen remains readable. Auto-brightness is there and works correctly.

The main 2 MP camera without autofocus is quite good for shooting in good light. When shooting in the daytime on the street, the quality of the pictures approximately corresponds to the 5 MP matrix in Chinese devices. But you can’t count on a decent shot indoors. There are no obvious color defects. There is an LED flash, but it is completely dead, alas.

There are no complaints about the voice speaker and microphone. The multimedia speaker is quite loud. The headset is included, standard 3.5 mm jack. The removable 1500 mAh battery will last a day of normal use predictably.

There are light and proximity sensors, but there is no LED event sensor, which is a pity. See the design in the photo, and the “live” device looks better. Black color, steel grey. Assembled well, but the matte back made of cheap plastic rustles under the fingers.

There is practically no software "garbage" and slow shells: only "My Tele2" is preinstalled ( Personal Area) and "Tele2 TV".

Positioning

As I already wrote, the key task of the device is to give Moscow subscribers access to the Tele2 3G network for very little money. The device copes with this task well. Personally, for that kind of money, I would prefer a high-quality push-button 3G dialer, even better - a clamshell (I thought about my mother), but now this is already out of the realm of dreams.

Otherwise, the range of the target audience is so wide that I even find it difficult to formulate and list. Here are the kids who strive to use a smartphone as a shovel in the sandbox, and respectable uncles who want an inexpensive dialer for two SIM-cards and with a smartphone function. As a smartphone entry level will suit a lot of people, and the shortage at points of sale confirms this.

Equipment and design

Included full set: a smartphone, a connecting cable, a user manual, a headset and a charger for an output current of 0.7 A. I hope there is a 2 A charger on the farm, with a standard smartphone it takes almost three hours to fully charge. Thank you for putting a headset in the kit: the sound quality is lousy, but talking is fine. The main thing is that you do not need to run around looking for salons / markets, spending not at all extra time and money.

Weight (111g) is typical for a 4-inch smartphone, no surprises. The corners are straight, the body is “boat”, it looks more or less modern, the “soap box” is not rounded on all sides. The camera window protrudes a little, which even surprised me: the 2 MP module without autofocus could be removed neatly flush.

Design features

Nothing interesting, everything is boring and without pretensions. Tightly, without cracks, does not move, does not crunch in the hands. The back cover is not pressed through. I already wrote that the “back” rustles under the fingers, which you may not like. But it doesn't slip out of your hands.

The layout is standard, monoblock with a back cover in the form of a tray. On the w3bsit3-dns.com forum, the kind person DocNokia was not too lazy to open the device and duplicate the inscriptions on the components. Whether it is not enough, suddenly to whom it is useful?

Removable battery. The multimedia speaker grill (holes in the back cover) was a success for this manufacturer: the holes at the beginning of the bend of the cover on a flat hard surface do not overlap, the gap remains, and the sound, accordingly, is not muffled much.

The headphone jack is on the top, along with the microUSB port. The gray plastic of the edging looks grainy, but this is a “metal-like” design effect, the surface of the plastic is glossy.

On the bottom side there is only a microphone, strongly shifted to the left. Good for those holding a smartphone while talking in the right hand and somewhat worse for left-handers. But the palm does not block the opening of the microphone in any case, so it's not critical.

The layout of the mechanical buttons is standard: a volume rocker on the left and a multifunctional power button on the right. There is no backlash of the buttons, but, in my opinion, the buttons are too tight and the first half-day can be annoying. But it's better than accidentally pressing soft buttons in your pocket. They protrude from the body just right and are easily groped.

The control buttons are soft, marked with white paint and read well. But they saved money on the illumination of the buttons, it is not there at all. Oh sorry that LED indicator there are no events either, it is much more useful than button illumination.

Display

I already wrote that with the TFT matrix I was mentally prepared for a very sad picture. But no, more or less decently, and with small turns, the colors are almost not distorted. With strong inclinations, of course, they are distorted up to inversion. Color distortion when rotated is very noticeable on very dark images and much less on light pages with text.

The display has some blueness, and the “branded” colors of the Tele2 wallpapers exacerbate this feeling, look at the screen photo above. But MiraVision technology, which allows you to customize all colors to your taste, is missing. It's a pity, here this "chip" would be very out of place.

A pixel density of 233 ppi for a budget smartphone of 4 inches is normal for the unspoiled. For "experts" a decent resolution in smartphones starts from 300 ppi and from 250+ ppi in tablets. In general, it's high time to honestly write ppi in the list of main characteristics, the notorious "resolution" is deceptive for different diagonals.

The oleophobic coating, if any, is ineffective, the finger slides across the screen unimportantly. The capacitive display responds to two touches at the same time.

Of the unpleasant - some "blurring" of the text when quickly turning pages or quickly scrolling, for example, a twitter feed. It seems that the display slows down a little when drawing a picture.

cameras

Main 2 MP without autofocus and front 0.3 MP. In all descriptions we see 0.3 MP, although AnTuTu claims 1.3 MP and in the camera settings there are VGA, 1 MP and 1.3 MP. It looks like it's about interpolation.

Pro front camera. Intrigue did not work out, banal interpolation. This is such a super-technology that "intelligently" increases the resolution of the image, filling the transitions with intermediate pixels. They write that it works and the picture looks a little better, but in phones / smartphones - pure marketing. Write on the box 1.3 MP instead of 0.3 MP, it looks more solid. For some reason, Tele2 did not use the proposed recipe, they honestly wrote 0.3 MP.

In general, the front camera is suitable only for video calls. Of the pluses - you don’t have to clean up the room before the call, your interlocutor will still not consider anything further than 30 cm from your head. And do not forget to change the settings to 0.3 MP, the default is completely useless 1.3 MP, which only increases the file size.

Benchmarks and specifications

As I already wrote, AnTuTu assigned 12,384 virtual parrots to the device. Two years ago it would have looked good, today it is frankly weak.

512 MB random access memory it’s also sparse in modern times, but the interface doesn’t slow down much, popular applications also work without any complaints about speed. The amount of available memory (1.93 GB) will run out very quickly, so a microSD card (supported up to 32 GB) can be considered a must-have accessory.

Impressions and features

I didn’t see any problems with data transfer, I was pleased with the sensitivity. In the “reference” basement, where a thoroughbred smartphone lost its network, Tele2 Mini continued to work and even transmit data. Slowly and with pauses, but still transmitted. I do not like the lack of arrows-indicators of transmission and reception. They are on the Wi-Fi icon, but for cellular network such indication is more important.

As for the speed indicators in 3G, in the screenshots above you can see almost the maximum values ​​\u200b\u200bthat you can get out of the Tele2 network. But for the declared theoretical maximum of 21.6 Mbps, it's not bad. The results were obtained in a place where another smartphone with DC HSPA + support consistently demonstrates about 30 Mbps, so using the Tele2 Mini as a modem is not rational.

To Wi-Fi operation no complaints, works without noticeable losses. The screenshot above shows the result of measuring the speed on a 15 Mbps channel of a broadband provider. Sensitivity is average, no miracles of range.

They write that if you need to temporarily use a SIM card from another operator (for example, on a trip), the unlock code 34127856 works. It is valid until the device is rebooted or turned off.

I read complaints about image quality when watching YouTube videos. They assure that the color rendition is not distorted only when watching videos in 240p resolution. I didn’t see any noticeable distortions, and, to be honest, I didn’t see any point in watching something in a higher resolution on such a screen. But be aware.

He would, of course, have a larger battery, the thickness for such a device is not critical. It would be a great "dialer" for those who need smartphone functions occasionally. By the way, they write that batteries from Nokia 5228 and 5330 are suitable for the device.

The slots for SIM-cards are “cramped”, and you need to insert cards of the “three in one” type very carefully, in the process of stuffing the card can disperse. Universality costs, there's nothing to be done.

I didn’t try to drop it, but, according to reviews, the smartphone is quite tenacious in this sense. Yes, there is nothing special to break, plastic. In general, no surprises, neither pleasant nor unpleasant. Tele2 Mini works as it should budget smartphone. Unless the display turned out to be better than I expected, even though it is far from IPS.

I read completely different opinions of the owners. From enthusiastic (“Everything works for that kind of money!”) To sharply negative (“Another rubbish, stupid purchase!”). The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. I hope this review helps you make an informed decision.

Summary

By the combination of qualities and functionality The device is very good for the money. Again, a 4-inch screen, which is now simply doomed to popularity. If you need something in this Tele2 Mini for 1,890 rubles. if you don’t like it much, you can always change it to a similar iPhone SE for a small surcharge of 36,109 rubles. A complete analogue, in fact a twin brother - MTS Smart Start 2, but they are traded at 2,790 rubles.

Having studied the model of the Tele2 Mini smartphone manufactured by Haier (China), it becomes clear that just such a solution was lacking in the Tele2 line. Because it combines low price, 3G technology and the ability to use two SIM cards. The audience of buyers of this product is quite wide. This option is especially relevant for parents whose children are still small, but already want a smartphone. Also, such a smartphone is quite suitable for a business person who just needs communication and access to the media via the Internet.

Appearance

It looks simple and very practical. The case consists of hard plastic, the edges are rounded. On the sides of the model there is an insert of bronze or silver, depending on the color of the device (there are options for 2 colors, black and white, respectively). The back surface of the device is corrugated, which allows it not to slip out of the hand.

Contents of delivery

The smartphone is compact in the hand. Its small size is an advantage, because it is very convenient for both adults and children. The bundle includes a headset, the sound quality is average, but sufficient for conversations. The smartphone also comes with: accumulator battery, Charger with USB cable - microUSB, warranty card and instructions. The warranty, by the way, is 1 year, which already inspires confidence in the manufacturer.

Screen

The smartphone display has a TFT matrix, which allows the image to stay at a level that suits target audience buyers. The screen resolution is 480 * 800 pixels. If you look at the display from the side, the picture loses contrast and color.

Performance

It is worth writing right away that 512 MB of RAM is a low level. However, in this price range, this is the standard. The smartphone runs smoothly with many applications, except for some games. Built-in memory in the amount of 1.75 GB is usually not enough. Therefore, it is better to supplement the purchase of a smartphone microSD card(up to 32 GB).

Communication options

The Tele2 Mini smartphone works in 2G and 3G networks. This model has two slots for SIM cards. One of them supports Tele2, and the second slot supports other operators. Also, only one SIM card supports the third generation network. You need to write that the subscriber will be able to get through to you only on an active SIM card.

Working hours

Autonomous device works up to 3 hours, if there is a conversation continuously. With constant use of the Internet, calls, work with applications, it will work for 1.5 days. If you do not use your smartphone so often, you can extend the battery life without charging up to 3 days.

I recently came across a page from a catalog released in the mid-2000s. I was amazed - the prices for phones are the same as for current smartphones, despite serious inflation (then salaries were two times lower than the current ones).

In 2005, when I was a freshman, for 60 thousand the buyer was offered a phone that, by modern standards, could do nothing at all. Look in the lower right corner:

Nokia 8800 took photos with a resolution of 0.5 megapixels. For 60 pieces. Can you imagine?

Now there are even online shops of rare mobile phones. Like, remember your youth, nostalgic. It is probably interesting to twist in your hands the phone that you wanted at the age of 16 (and I dreamed of the Motorola RAZR V3). But what to do with it further, besides how to call?

In general, it is good that we have taken a serious step forward. Now for 60 thousand you can buy a super-smartphone. Although, who knows, maybe in 10 years the current flagship will also seem primitive?

"Operator" devices

Telecom operators, which began to produce smartphones under their own brand, to some extent made a revolution. Their devices tend to be cheaper than devices from electronics brands. Now anyone can afford a pocket computer.

All the majors have their own smartphones. Russian operators- from MegaFon, Tele2, MTS and Beeline. I got a black Tele2 Mini 1.1 in my hands - the most cheap smartphone in the line of this telecom operator with two and 3G support. Also available in white.

The official price of Tele2 Mini as of April 2017 is 2490 rubles. I have been using this gadget for several days and I am ready to speak honestly about it. In some places I will compare it with my current smartphone - iPhone 5S (its current price is 19990 rubles).

What's in the box

The package includes the smartphone itself, a battery, a USB cable, an AC adapter and a quick start guide.

I note the good quality of the cord: it is quite thick (not like that). At network adapter There is an indicator that lights up red while charging.

And the Tele2 Mini has a standard cord connector, that is, chargers from my smartphone and phone are suitable for the device. It is convenient - no need to poke.

Beginning of work

There is another protective film under the packaging film, which I left despite a couple of air bubbles.

First you need to insert mini-sim and memory card. Above is the battery. You have to press hard to close the lid.

Connection

The "operator" devices have their own nuances - like free cheese. Sometimes the operator “in load” obliges the buyer of his smartphone to connect his sim and replenish the balance by a certain amount. It happens that “carrier” smartphones are flashed in such a way that they work exclusively with their native SIM card.

Tele2 Mini 1.1 also has limitations. The first slot works in 2G / 3G mode, but only a Tele2 SIM card can be used. You can insert a card of another operator (MTS, MegaFon or Beeline) into the second slot, but only 2G (GSM) will work there.

Menu

After turning on the smartphone quickly booted up, offered to select a language and said hello.

The menu is arranged like all Android smartphones (version 5.1 is here). That is, there is a main desktop where you can drag the most important application icons, and there is a secondary desktop for everything else. Before Apple, I had a Samsung, so I figured it out quickly.

Ergonomics

The weight of Tele2 Mini 1.1 is 111 g, which is almost the same as that of the iPhone 5S. The back cover with the operator's logo is plastic, not slippery.

The thickness of the smartphone is normal (10.9 mm versus 8 mm for the iPhone 5S), but here the width turned out to be critical for me(64.5 mm vs. 58 mm).

I'm used to managing my smartphone with one hand: it lies in the palm of my hand, and I tap with my thumb. But Tele2 Mini does not allow this because of its width - my thumb does not reach, the smartphone bites between the thumb and forefinger. You have to use the other hand.

At the same time, the display is the same as that of the iPhone 5S - 4 inches. Although, probably, the owners of smartphones with a large diagonal (“shovels”) would not have noticed this inconvenience.

Screen

The screen pleased - for this price I expected a much more pixelated picture. Declared resolution 800×480.

Through built-in youtube app All videos are played in good quality. Images are crisp, but colors are less saturated than on the iPhone. If we assume that iPhone screen 5S is 10 points, then Tele2 Mini 1.1. I would give 7 points.

Sensor

In the first minutes of using the sensor, I was pleasantly surprised - I expected a longer response. The difference with the iPhone 5S is about half a second. Doesn't irritate. But in the VKontakte application, the news feed scrolls with “dulling”.

Control

I never got used to using all the touch buttons on the bottom of my smartphone because I only have one Home button on my iPhone. When photographing, I got confused and pressed the top button on the edge of the smartphone (in the iPhone it is the volume button, and in the Tele2 Mini it is the lock button). When I wanted to take a picture, the smartphone simply went into standby mode.

Camera

Tele2 Mini has an interesting gesture response function - if you show V with your fingers, the camera will take a picture.

The manufacturer claims that the main camera is 2 megapixels, and the front camera is 0.3 megapixels. The iPhone 5S has 8 MP and 1.2 MP, respectively. I took comparison shots for you on the rear and front cameras on both smartphones so that you can feel the difference. The photos were taken in auto mode in the same lighting, one after another.

Sound

I listened in the player to the same ones as on the iPhone, through headphones from Apple. There are no serious differences in sound quality, the sound is clear.

But through the speaker, the sound is much quieter than that of the iPhone. And fewer tones.

Battery

The battery capacity of the compared smartphones is almost the same - 1560 mAh for iPhone and 1500 mAh for Tele2. In standby mode (with the Internet turned off), Tele2 Mini lasted 3.5 days. Overnight with wi-fi on, it loses 10% of its charge. I rarely “leave the iPhone alone”, so it “lives” for less than a day.

I think that under the same conditions, smartphones are equally tenacious, or rather not particularly tenacious.

Useful features of Tele2 Mini that are not in the iPhone

Naturally, Tele2 Mini is seriously inferior to the iPhone 5S in all respects (it’s understandable - these are devices of different price segments). But at the same time, the "carrier" smartphone has features that I lack in the iPhone.

• FM radio, and with the ability to play through the speaker. The last time I had this feature was on a Samsung flip phone in 2006. In Tele2 Mini, it is convenient to catch radio stations, add the ones you need to favorites. On the iPhone, the radio can only be listened to via the Internet, which is inconvenient if you do not have unlimited Internet.
• Possibility to insert a memory card. The built-in memory of Tele2 Mini is 4 GB, and the card additionally gives up to 32 GB. That is, you can download a bunch from your computer to a memory card through a cable and watch them.

conclusions

Smartphone Tele2 Mini 1.1 presents good value prices and quality. He has acceptable specifications- for 2.5 thousand rubles, I expected much less.

Tele2 Mini does not look cheap, so it will suit unpretentious users who want to replace a push-button mobile phone with something more modern and prettier.

A cheap device from Tele2 is a suitable option for those who do not use Instagram(selfies and just pictures will turn out so-so) and does not want to overpay for the camera and is not supported in this model).

Yes, this is not a flagship powerful processor and a clear camera, but it fulfills its price by 100%.

I am considering two options:

1. Give Tele2 Mini 1.1 to children who will go to first grade in September this year and who still have.
2. Leave it to yourself as a second smartphone for listening to the radio and watching and back. It will be possible not to worry that I am wasting the battery of the main device.

Friends, tell us, how demanding are you on the capabilities of a mobile phone? Are important to you good camera, smartphone speed? And let's remember what phone you had in the mid-2000s? Admit it, were you chasing new products then, like the Nokia 8800?

By the way, I advise you to watch (2016), which makes the viewer think about the reverse side of modern technology.

Smartphone ultra-budget class with about modest cost and good, as for this class of devices, technical specifications - this Tele2 Mini. Reviews most owners point out that this is an excellent entry-level device.It is about him that will be discussed further.

Reason for this device

Majority mobile operators do not get hung up only on the provision of communication and data transmission services and significantly expand the list of services provided, which include the distribution of devices in relation to a certain mobile network. The pioneers in this market segment were the Big Three operators: MTS, Megafon and Beeline. The Tele2 operator followed the same path.

Everyone benefits from this approach. The subscriber receives a mobile device at a very modest cost. And the operator, in turn, binds the client to himself and, due to this, also receives profit in the future. Today in the official store Tele2 there are a fairly large number of devices on the Internet, among which there is a budget-level smartphone Tele2 Mini. w3bsit3-dns.com the forum, in turn, indicates that in this case it is possible, if necessary, to update the software and unbind the gadget to a specific mobile network.

Who is this smartphone aimed at?

Two important points at once indicate the positioning of Tele2 Mini. Price he has a very low and, as a result, it is very affordable, and the second important point- this is a firmware that is focused on installing SIM cards only from the operator of the same name. True, this limitation only applies to installation slot No. 1, but it does not fundamentally change the situation.Therefore, the niche of this device is existing and potential subscriberstele2,who need an inexpensive, but at the same time quite functional device. It is for them that this mobile device was released.

Equipment. Her strengths and weaknesses

Typical, as for an entry-level smartphone, the equipment of the hero of this review. But there are certain differences between this mobile device and its direct Chinese competitors. First of all, all the documentation that is presented by the warranty card and quick guide user, in this case in Russian. It should also be noted that to find the official service center repairing devices of this model is quite simple, and this will greatly simplify the process of solving problems in the event of a gadget breakdown.

In the delivery list, except cell phone, is there some more wired headphones with economy class microphone, interface cord, charger and 1500 mAh rechargeable battery. Definitely in the list above, there is definitely not enough protective film for the front panel and cover. But if you can do without the first accessory for the first time (use a factory protective film instead), then it will be difficult to do without the second one.

Another important component, without which it will not be possible to fully reveal the potential of this mobile device, is a memory card. But not only in the configuration of entry-level smartphones this accessory is missing, but in the middle and even premium segments it is not so common to find it now.

Design. Location of controls. The practicality of the gadget

There are two possible color options for the case in Tele2 Mini: black and white. The first of these is much more common and more practical.for the reason thatand dirt is not so noticeableorsmall scratches.

The key element of the front panel is the display, which performs not only output functions, but also input. Its diagonal in length is equal to a very modest 4 inches by today's standards. Under the screen, as in any other mobile device of this class, a typical control panel is grouped. And, like most modern smartphones,it includes three standard touch buttons. The first from left to right will be "Back", the second - "Home" and the third - "Menu".

Above the screen, strictly in the middle, there is a speaker, which is used only during calls. To the right of the speaker hole is a small peephole of the front camera, and even further - the sensor hole.

There is a button on the right side of the gadget.its blocking, and on the left - a system for controlling the volume of a mobile device. On the one hand, similarThe location of the controls can be called inconvenient. But if we take into account the dimensions of the device, which are 125.4 mm in length, 64.5 mm in width and 10.9 mm in thickness, it becomes obvious that there are no problems in managing a smartphone, even with the help of 5 fingers of one hand. will be.

On the bottom of the device there is only a miniature hole for a spoken microphone, and on the opposite side all the wired ports of the mobile device are placed. One of them allows you to connect a wired headset to your smartphone, and this is a 3.5 mm audio jack. And the second - "MicroUSB". On the back cover is the main camera with a backlight system,operator logo and loudspeaker holes.Given the very, very compact size of this device, it is not difficult to manage it, and for this, only one free hand is enough.

CPU. Its characteristics

The central processor of the MT6572 model of the Taiwanese company MediaTek is the basis of the Tele2 Mini. Reviews same indicate that it was released in distant 2013 and by the standards electronic world outdated both physically and mentally. But still, the computing capabilities of this chip are quite enough to solve the simplest and least demanding tasks.

It is to launch such software and aims Tele2 Mini. Characteristics The CPUs indicate that it includes 2 A7 computing units with support for 32-bit calculations, the frequency of which can vary from 300 MHz to 1.3 GHz. Moreover, the value of the latter is determined immediately by 2 factors. One of them is the difficulty level. program code the problem being solved, and the second one is the degree of heating of the silicon crystal.The chip itself is produced using technology with tolerances of 28 nm. The computing capabilities of this semiconductor solution are rated by the manufacturer at 4.5 GFlops.

Graphic accelerator

The Tele2 Mini phone is equipped with an entry-level graphics accelerator. His model is Mali-400MP1. It includes only one video information processing module, which operates at a fixed frequency of 500 MHz.

Technologically, this semiconductor crystal is produced according to the standards of 28 nm. Its computing resources are quite enough to display an image in 800x480 format, and the presence of this component in a smartphone significantly increases its computing capabilities due to the fact that processing graphic information falls on his shoulders, and the processor processes only the program code.

Screen. Its specifications

The Tele2 Mini smartphone is equipped with a very modest touch screen by today's standards, the length of which is only 4 inches. Now, with this characteristic, devices by default belong to the entry-level solutions, but 3-4 years ago, such “smart” phones belonged to the premium segment. The display matrix production technology is TN + Film.

Undoubtedly, this technology is currently outdated, but it can still be found in entry-level gadgets. Its main disadvantage is the smaller viewing angles and not so bright color reproduction, as in the case of IPS or SuperAMOLED. But for an entry-level mobile device, its capabilities will be quite enough for high-quality image output. The resolution, as noted earlier, in this case is 800x480. The picture on such a screen certainly cannot be called "grainy" in this output format.

RAM. Built-in storage. Their characteristics

Only 512MB of DDR3 RAM in Tele2 Mini. Characteristics same this phone indicate that after the download is complete operating system the user can count on 100-150 MB, and the rest of the RAM will be occupied system processes. This volume is quite enough to solve the simplest and most common tasks: social networks, navigation usinggoogle map,reading books, surfing the web and so on.

Phone Tele2 Mini Equipped with 4 GB internal storage. At the same time, about 2.7 GB is initially occupied by pre-installed system software. Well, the remaining 1.3 GB for comfortable work on this gadget will certainly not be enough. As a result, you can not do without an additional memory card.Her maximum size, with which this device can work, is 32 GB.

cameras

One of the most weaknesses are the cameras in Tele2 Mini. Review them technical specifications indicate that even acceptable photo or video quality cannot be expected from them.The main camera has a sensor element of only 2 megapixels, there is a single backlight based on a single LED.

About 5 years ago, such a specification was relevant, but now the quality of photos with such a sensitive element, even in excellent lighting conditions, will be disgusting.

Even worse in this case is the situation with video, which can be recorded in 640x480 format.The front camera has a similar situation with video recording and its format is similar. The sensor, however, is only 0.3 megapixels, and this is absolutely not enough for a more or less high-quality photo. The only thing this camera is capable of is making video calls. It is certainly impossible to get more from her.

Battery

The capacity of the complete battery is 1500 mAh in Tele2 Mini. Reviews However, in turn, indicate that this device has good autonomy. A small screen, even with a modest resolution, and a very efficient processor are far from all the factors that indicate phenomenal autonomy. this device. In the maximum load mode, one battery charge will definitely last for 2 days battery life. Well, if you minimize its use, then it is quite possible to count even for 5 daysoperation of the mobile device on one charge.

Interface List

The Tele2 Mini smartphone boasts support for such methods of exchanging information with the outside world:

Cellular networks of 2G and 3G format. They allow not only to make calls, perform various operations with SMS and MMS, but also to transfer data at speeds up to 500 kbps (2G) and up to 42 Mbps (3G).

Another important interface for this mobile device is Wi-Fi. With it, you can download data from the global web at speeds up to 150 Mbps.

The list of previously given wireless interfaces is complemented by Bluetooth. It allows you to synchronize with similar gadgets or even with a wireless headset.

3,5 mm audio jack, in turn, allows you to output sound signal on a wired headset.

"MicroUSB" is great for synchronizing with a computer and for charging the battery.

System software

Operating system for mobile devices"Android" version 5.1 is a system software for Tele2 Mini. w3bsit3-dns.com online resource offers alternative firmware for this gadget. With its help, you can make sure that this device will function successfully not only with a SIM cardtele2,as well as any other operator. But this operation is recommended only for well-trained users.
