Recently, low-cost smartphones are not just started to work quite well, but also got some “flagship” features. Now these gadgets nice displays and enough performance for most tasks. Some of them already look good and can boast of an aluminum housing and a decent build. But the developers of Huawei have gone a little further and mostly Huawei GR5 2017 in the model 2017 dual-core camera. Recently, this smartphone went on sale. Our editors, he too, as you can see, not bypassed.
PACKAGING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS: HUAWEI GR5 2017
With a smartphone in the box, there is a charger, power cable, clip, screen protector and corporate case. In other words, everything you need, except the headset. Unfortunately, we only got a smartphone, so that the quality of all components is not possible to estimate.
Getting Started with the gadget does not differ from working with other similar smartphones. However, in the Huawei can not be selected Ukrainian region, if the selected language is English system. Any binding system language to the country selection. But the work is not particularly affected. Otherwise, the highlight of this gadget is difficult competitors. No special additions not, except a few branded applications ( “Mirror”, for example).
DESIGN AND USABILITY: HUAWEI GR5 2017
Huawei GR5 2017 is not much different from the previous model looks, but there is a difference. The Edge is now smoothed and polished corners missing, as there is no shiny frame around the front side. Tray Sim and the memory card is now the one that looks aesthetically pleasing, but less functional in practice. The back side of the new model is not so much like this at OnePlus 3. At the bottom is no longer seen two screws on each side of the power connector and changed the alignment of the sensor, the camera and the earpiece above the display. The changes, though light, but, in my opinion, good.
As before, the housing Aluminum. From color design available in three variants: gray, dark gray and gold. The top and bottom have plastic inserts conceal the antenna. The boxes around the screen are not very big, but for such a screen, the body is quite compact. The size of the device is small, it may be called something average: 150.9 x 76.2 x 8.2 mm and weighs 162 grams. They are easy to use. Subjectively, I would like to move the volume control buttons and the inclusion of a little lower, but so easy to get used to them. They, incidentally, is still “soft” and can be easily pressed by accident.
To find fault with the assembly difficult. Everything looks good and in practice, I ran into any trouble. The very smart little slippery, but the same can be said about almost any metal gadget. Moment subjective, but instead of the logo on the front panel would be comfortable with the physical Home button with the built-in fingerprint scanner. But, alas, the manufacturer made a different decision. But those who like the location of the scanner at the “back” will be satisfied and his position, and the work of the sensor.
During use of the device, the body showed himself very well. Form comfortable for the hands. Placement of the working elements is quite usual and without critical defects. If you do not look at the cost of a smartphone is more like something a little more expensive than it actually is. In general, the appearance and ergonomics of the updated Huawei GR5 2017 I am personally satisfied.
DISPLAY: HUAWEI GR5 2017
Like last time, the smartphone uses display diagonal of 5.5 inches with a resolution of Full HD. This is an unofficial standard. I see no reason to repeat once again about the convenience and inconvenience in the use of screens. I think many of our readers are familiar with any such or are already using something like that.
Matrix also has not changed – IPS. The viewing angles and color reproduction are very good. Factory calibration also did not disappoint; From the very beginning of use personally I did not want somehow to change something, although a little shift to the warm shades would not hurt. The color temperature can be adjusted in the settings. the level of illumination is also enough for most situations, but the Auto Brightness require manual adjustments.
The only thing that still attracted attention, it is a problem with the work at a low temperature. It is winter, and when I tried to do something on the street, at the sensor there were problems with the swipe. That is, even pull “the curtain” of notifications did not work. Probably the only problem with our sample. As for the rest, all was well with the sensor work, and with a picture.
SOUND: HUAWEI GR5 2017
Inexpensive Huawei got one main speaker. His power is enough for notifications, and the sound quality is mediocre; it sounds good and will take watching some clips on YouTube is quite normal, if it is not a music video. The headphones also sound good comes, but the fan is very loud listening to music the highest level can not be satisfied with a little. However, the smartphone is not being positioned as “music”, so it is hardly possible to consider its ability insufficient.
The earpiece is quite loud, so it lacked power in almost any situation, and my interlocutors did not complain about the voice quality.
SPECIFICATIONS: HUAWEI GR5 2017
HARDWARE PLATFORM AND SOFTWARE: HUAWEI GR5 2017
If the last time the model used Huawei GR5 2017 Qualcomm processor manufacturing, the model 2017 set eight-HiSilicon Kirin 655 c graphics core Mali T830 MP2. Combo memory two: 3/32 and 4/64 GB (storage can be expanded via memory cards). It is worth noting that the updated model will have to choose between two Sim-card and memory card, but the amount of built-in memory, even in the basic configuration should suit most users. In a set of communication, interfaces are not only the NFC, while the Wi-Fi receiver slightly saved (802.11n, 2.4 GHz).
Check the performance of synthetic tests did not work, a sample of the press fleet refused to install such applications. It turned out only to run 3DMark, where smartphone scored 382 points, which is far from the flagship. However, during the use of power shortage is not felt. Even in games were not too many problems. Customers who are primarily interested in simple tasks (Internet, mail, communication, etc.), do not face gaps in performance. All simple applications run fast and stably switching between them without delay. Moreover, even when a gaming device is practically not heated, which is very cool.
The smartphone installed Android 6.0 with a proprietary supplement EMUI 4.1. With the appearance and functionality, I think, all already know at least on the GR5 previous model. Global changes or additions not. Yet, in my opinion, it is not the most comfortable shell, although it has a handy feature, which is slightly lacking in the party – search system (a bit like Spotlight in iOS). Otherwise, the alternative solutions may be easier and more appealing.
AUTONOMY: HUAWEI GR5 2017
In Huawei GR5 2017 battery increased to 3340 mAh. Thanks to the processor are not the most demanding smartphone is capable of operating for a long time. Again, the usual test of autonomy to run failed. In my battery usage time is 7-8 hours of the screen, which is a very good result. In most cases, this period will last for two days without power save mode.
Fast charging, unfortunately, no. With the help of a third-party memory (complete the editors did not get) this smartphone battery “dressed” a little more than three hours.
CAMERA: HUAWEI GR5 2017
The main focus of all the smartphone features to put the camera. More specifically, the camera, because in 2017 GR5 basic module consists of two sensors and a resolution of 12 MP. The latter is used for focusing and evaluation environment. For the user, this means that the smartphone has a separate mode that allows you to change the focus to the already made frame.
Still, users often shoot in automatic mode, in which Huawei is implemented well even in low-cost devices. Our today’s guest is able to do normal viewing photos and record videos even in the evening. Moreover, it does not require many attempts and a long selection of a variety of settings. A rich variety of modes, including a manual, even for the video is present. But I am personally fully automatic arranged.
Boke effect (although it software) looks rather good. In addition, the camera is able to focus on the relatively short distance to the object. Nevertheless, the “play” with a focus on the final picture becomes not so interesting if the picture a lot of detail (processing algorithms still imperfect). In any case, as for the low-cost smartphone camera, the local unit is working fine.
The front camera has the resolution of 8 MP. Its possibilities are also good. In normal lighting conditions, you can make a wonderful selfi-picture, and with the usual “indoor” heat lamp camera quite correctly select the white balance and not fill up the picture artifacts, like most other cheap cameras.
Pros of Huawei GR5 2017: Appearance, body materials, and assembly; display; camera; autonomy; small heating body even in games;
Cons of Huawei GR5 2017: Performance Reserve may not be enough for the smooth operation of the demanding tasks.
CONCLUSIONS AND PRICE: HUAWEI GR5 2017
For the cost of $ 300 Huawei GR5 2017 can upset except those primarily evaluates the performance of the smartphone. And in the rest of the gadget he has made an excellent impression. It has a large and high-quality display, great build enough autonomy and a great camera. Not every smartphone can boast of such a work chamber, and it is one of the most important factors when choosing a new smartphone in the vast majority of today’s users.
