In general, Fly does not try to break out of the “ecological niche” chosen for its products and compete in the high-level gadget segment.
Comparing the company's models from the beginning of 2016 to 2017, one can note a depressing monotony of characteristics. Even the flagship of the line is not too out of the picture. Strictly speaking, the models of this brand would be completely uninteresting, if not for one "but" - their extremely low price.
In all other respects, Fly devices are gadgets with absolutely no pretensions, with weak hardware, low resolution cameras and screens, and no the latest innovations in the field of wireless interfaces. But, as they say - "what did you expect for that kind of money"?
For consumers living in developing countries, Fly smarts are an opportunity to keep up with the trend modern life without incurring totally unacceptable costs. Despite mediocre performance, these devices have the full functionality of a smartphone and are quite suitable for most applications. everyday tasks such as sending Email, work with social networks and web surfing.
Smartphones from Fly can hardly be called widespread in Russia. According to many experts, the introduction of a new line of devices in 2017 is another attempt by the manufacturer to conquer the provincial market, where the main advantage is often not technical excellence, but the minimum cost. There is another reason for the popularity - if there is a need to get a second phone or buy something as simple as possible for a primary school student, a smartphone from Fly is just right. By the way, the modest size of the device makes it easy to manage it even with children's fingers of one hand. And the cost, compared to the closest competitors in the class, for example, smartphones from Alcatel, inspires optimism. As always, we start with the younger model.
Smartphone Fly FS454 Nimbus 8
Interestingly, he became the first of the budget smartphones armed with Android 6.0. Some consider using an older version operating system unjustified, because on a modest by today's standards hardware it is difficult for her to show her advantages. Marketers also made their move by positioning this model as budget smartphone with a large display at an affordable price. In these two parameters, he really wins in comparison with a direct competitor - Alcatel PIXI 4 4034D, which has a higher price and a smaller screen.
- Design and equipment. This two-card machine looks rather modest. At first, the manufacturer offered only two colors of the plastic case: black and white. True, the gamut of colors soon expanded significantly. Phone dimensions 132.9x67.3x10.2 mm, weight 130 grams. Many note that with a rather modest battery capacity (more on that later), the body is clearly a bit thick. Included in delivery USB cable, simple headphones, compact Charger and, of course, instructions in Russian.
- Display. The size of four and a half inches can be called big with a known stretch. The screen resolution is 854x480 pixels, and it is made using the old proven TFT technology. On the one hand, such a display cannot boast high rates in terms of brightness and contrast, which is especially felt on a sunny day, but it has a short response time and low power consumption. Of course, watching a movie on such a screen is still a pleasure, but it is quite suitable for simple toys.
- Specifications. The use of the older version of the Android 6.0 OS in one team with a modest RAM of 512 MB and 4 GB of built-in impose severe restrictions on the use of an additional software. However, the problem is partially solved when using an additional micro SDHC memory card. maximum size up to 32 GB. There is a separate slot for it in the device. There you can move not only media content, but also additional software that will work fine under a modern OS. The use of a fairly powerful Mali-400 MP1 video processor somewhat compensates for the small size of RAM and allows lovers of modern toys to have a good time. The device communicates via wireless communication via Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi protocols. It is equipped with light and proximity sensors, which adds convenience to the user, there is an FM radio.
- Performance. Quad-core processor MT6580AW/M (MediaTek) running at 1.3 GHz. The amount of RAM is only 512 MB, the size permanent memory- four GB. From it the user has access to less than 2 GB. True, there is a definite plus - support for working in 3G networks, which provides not only high speed Internet surfing, but also the ability to hold video calls. True, the manufacturer warns that the battery capacity when working in 3G networks is enough for about three hours. The smartphone has a GPS geolocation system.
- Multimedia. The smartphone has front and rear cameras with a resolution of 0.3 MP and 5 MP, respectively. The rear camera is equipped with digital zoom and flash. Apparently, in order to reduce the cost of the device, it does not have autofocus. Despite the very modest resolution of the front camera, it is quite enough for video calls and Skype.
- Autonomy. The relatively low capacity of a lithium-ion battery - 1.7 A / h is actually quite enough for a device of this class. The manufacturer declares about 7 hours of talk time, three hours of video playback and 25 hours of audio playback. In standby mode, the smartphone is able to work for almost a week, but in the 3G network when surfing the Internet, the battery life will last less than 3 hours.
Smartphone Fly FS407 Stratus 6
Despite the not pretentious name of the model, the main advantage of this phone is its low price (more details in the description). Otherwise, this is a typical average, although with claims to their "adult" colleagues. In any case, at a cursory glance it is difficult to notice any differences from earlier models.
- Design and equipment. The manufacturer did not bother much with the case type - an ordinary monoblock made of strong plastic. The color palette is not very rich, the buyer is offered a choice of 4 colors: classic black, noble white, fiery red and blue. The weight of the device is 120 grams, and the overall dimensions are 123x61.5x10.5 mm. With its compact dimensions, even a first-grader can easily handle it with the fingers of one hand. In addition to the phone, the kit includes a charger, a battery (you need to insert it yourself), simple headphones and a USB cable. As well as instructions with a warranty card and a smartphone certification insert.
- Specifications. What cannot but please is the support of two SIM cards and work in the 3G network. The test showed that the Internet works really well. There are no geosteering systems. It seems that the use of Android 6.0 OS, regardless of the smartphone class, is already becoming a tradition, although using its advanced features with 512 MB of RAM is problematic. Perhaps the calculation was based on a fairly powerful quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731C processor, clocked at a core frequency of 1.2 GHz. The Bluetooth module is rather "old" version - 2.1. Hence, a limited set of features, no fax transmission function, no connection to a computer to access the Internet through it, work via Bluetooth with a phone within reach. Wi-fi provides work in standard data transfer protocols and connection security. The smartphone is pre-installed with software from Google: mail, Google drive. There is an FM radio, a flashlight, a position sensor.
- Display the smartphone has a four-inch. FWVGA (Wide Video Graphics Array) technology is most commonly used in portable devices. Glass touch screen has a resolution of 854x480 pixels. Such characteristics are more suitable for Internet surfing than watching videos. Brightness, saturation and color reproduction are average.
- Multimedia. There is only one camera, the back. It should be noted that her capabilities are rather modest: there is a digital zoom and a flash. Autofocus is missing. Matrix resolution is only 2 megapixels (1600x1200). The device's video player plays the following formats: WebM, 3GP, RMVB, MP4, MOV. The audio player works with FLAC, AAC, AMR, MP3, WAV, MP2, IMY AWB, MID files with bitrates up to 320 kbps. There is an equalizer with manual setting. Playlists are supported, but there is no A-B repeat function. But there is an FM radio.
- Autonomy. It is worth saying that the developers clearly guessed right with the capacity of the Li-ion battery BL6427. 1.3 Ah is enough for two days of work with an average load: up to 5 hours of talk time, up to 100 hours of standby time, up to 4 hours of Internet surfing on a 3G network, about 3 hours of Internet browsing via a WI-FI network, listening to audio up to a day and about three hours of video viewing.
Smartphone Fly FS553 Cirrus 9
“I carry everything with me” - this is how briefly and succinctly one can characterize new smartphone. Mirror overflows of the body in the light leave a feeling of elegant perfection. He sits in the palm of his hand, as if poured, and specifications quite at the level, which is the support of the 4G communication standard! And all this at a very affordable price with an official guarantee in the Russian Federation from the British company Fly.
- Design and equipment. The manufacturer offers two colors of the device: stylish Champaign gold and extravagant Dark blue. With a size of 152.9x76.8x8.2 mm and a weight of only 147 grams, it was possible to create a completely modern tablet phone that can demonstrate to its owner all the possibilities mobile technology. The smartphone is packaged in a classic compact box, which, in addition to it, contains: a stereo headset with seals, a charger, a cable with Micro USB connectors, a transparent plastic case for the device and the necessary documentation. By the way, the presence of a protective case in the package is not quite usual, as a rule, it is purchased separately. It is worth recalling that the phone is sold in Russia with an official manufacturer's warranty.
- Specifications. When designing this model, the developers definitely faced a dilemma - to supply the device with a powerful power source or to use a modern chipset in its design, created specifically for mobile devices with ultra-low power consumption. Moreover, the device of the mid-budget segment should have high performance. The design idea won, as a result, the smartphone was armed with a modern duo of a quad-core MT6737 processor (ultra-low power consumption at a clock frequency of Cortex-A53 cores of 1.25 GHz) and a Mali-T720 MP2 video processor. On board 1 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM memory. Approximately 4.5 GB is available to the user. For effective use The chipset is equipped with Android 6.0 OS, effectively managing the available resources. The owner has the opportunity to expand RAM optional microSDHC memory card up to 32 GB. The device provides functioning in networks of standards: LTE, UMTS 900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900. To work on the Internet, the 4G standard is used, which guarantees a data transfer rate of 150/50 Mbps. In the absence of 4G coverage, there is an automatic transition to HSDPA (3G), HSUPA (an add-on over 3G, with a data exchange rate of up to 3.6 Mbps), EDGE (data is transmitted at a speed of up to 474 kilobits per second). Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth modules provide all modern data transfer protocols with information protection. The smartphone supports two SIM cards. The geopositioning system works in three standards: GPS, a-GPS and Glonass. Three types of sensors: gravity, proximity and ambient light make working with the device more comfortable.
- Performance. It is no coincidence that the device uses Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, which has a wide range of security settings and power consumption optimization. This made it possible to maximize the efficiency of the smartphone. The Mediatek MT6737 quad-core processor is an extremely low power chipset designed for mobile devices ultra-budget segment. By the way, his CPU contains four 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores. All this allows you to ensure uninterrupted operation and smooth switching between applications running on the system. As a result - the ability to run games with good graphics and high-definition video recordings.
- Display the device is quite large - diagonal 5.5 with HD resolution (1280x720). Application IPS matrices guarantees a bright image with high color saturation and a wide viewing angle (vertical and horizontal up to 178 degrees). Video images on it look really impressive.
- Multimedia. The use of two cameras: a two-megapixel front and an 8-megapixel rear camera makes it possible to take good and high-quality pictures. The rear camera is equipped, in addition to autofocus and flash, with a BSI sensor (light sensitivity of matrices made using back-light technology - BSI, compared to conventional CMOS). Thanks to this, pictures taken at night will look much brighter and sharper. Video recording is carried out in HD resolution (720x1280 pixels).
- Autonomy. The device is equipped with Android 6.0 OS with advanced Doz power saving features. It automatically activates during idle moments and monitors applications that try to wake it from sleep. Phone calls and SMS messages will still be available, but extraneous events with a low priority will no longer “wake up” the phone. App Standby - automatically disables all applications that have not been used by the user for a long time, access to system resources. Thanks to these technologies, the battery capacity of 2.8 Ah, according to the manufacturer, is up to ten hours in average operation mode, about 6 hours of Internet surfing (3G), about seven hours of surfing in WiFi networks, about 50 hours of video playback and more than eleven days in standby mode.
The models presented in our review allow us to draw several conclusions. The first one is quite unexpected - it turns out that today decent smartphones are produced not only in Asia. Fly products, especially its older model Fly FS553 Cirrus 9, are a clear confirmation of this. It's nice that all the smartphones presented in the review are sold in the Russian Federation with an official manufacturer's warranty and a certificate. Regarding the fact that Fly FS553 Cirrus 9 has not reached the top class yet, it was positioned as an average one.
Interestingly, the widespread use of Android 6.0 OS. Surely, pretty soon, the developers will offer fresh solutions that allow for a decent memory on modest memory resources. offline time work. So, among the TOP-3 best Fly smartphones of 2017, everyone can find something affordable.
