Highscreen Pure J - Specifications. Highscreen Pure J review

At the beginning of November, we got our hands on the new Highscreen Pure J, presented at the end of the summer. Its sales in Russia have already started, at the time of testing, according to the Yandex.Market service, the cost is 2990 rubles. This is the most cheap smartphone in the model line. Whether it is worthy of attention, let's try to figure it out in the course of a detailed review.

If we consider the segment below 3000 rubles, then smartphones with a screen diagonal of 3.2 to 4 inches most often appear here. You should not count on powerful characteristics, although in general the situation has improved over the past year. You can usually forget about a pleasant appearance. Do not forget about a separate segment - operator smartphones, where by linking a subscriber to its network, the operator compensates for part of the cost of the phone. If you do not plan to travel beyond your region or install an additional SIM card, then it makes sense to turn to such solutions. Highscreen Pure J has no such restrictions, it can be used outside the territory of Russia during trips and travels.

Equipment

The Highscreen Pure J comes in a compact eco-carton package. On the front part there is a schematic image of the case with data on the characteristics.

Package includes: headphones, micro cable usb, Charger, a set of technical documentation and a warranty card.

Appearance

Like the previous models of the Pure series, the Highscreen Pure J received several body color options. A whole palette is available: white, black, yellow, orange, blue.

It looks pretty good for its price. One of the most interesting solutions in the budget up to 3000 rubles. He came to us for tests with a yellow lid. Light colors solve issues with possible scratches and fingerprints well.

The basis uses plastic, the front side is glossy, the reverse side with a light soft-touch coating.

I have not tested models with a 3.5-inch screen for a long time, it is already unusual to see such dimensions. Here they are 111 x 61.6 x 9.9 mm and weigh 115 grams.

The smartphone is literally buried in the hands. All interface elements and mechanical buttons are within easy reach, they are quite comfortable to operate with the fingers of one hand. It will not be a problem to throw it into the pocket of a jacket or trousers.

The assembly is excellent, nothing creaks or backlash. All parts fit snugly together. The case is collapsible. Under the cover are: a removable battery, two SIM-cards (one of them micro sim), memory card slot.

The front side of the Highscreen Pure J is coated protective glass, is not Gorilla glass, you have to be careful. There is a protruding edge along the side edge, which minimizes contact with the screen.

There are three non-illuminated touch buttons on the bottom frame, a speaker grille and front-camera.

Mechanical buttons are distributed between the side faces, on the right is the power button, on the left is the volume rocker.

If you look at the case in section, the rounded edges attract attention. Due to them, the smartphone is conveniently fixed in the hands, an accidental fall is minimized.

At the top back cover the peephole of the main camera, which does not protrude above the surface of the body. There is an LED flash, an oblong grille.

Screen

Highscreen Pure J has a 3.5-inch TFT TN screen with a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. The density is low, but sufficient to avoid the pixelation effect. The picture looks juicy and harmonious. There are questions about the viewing angles, distortion is noticeable when tilted vertically. The rest of the screen quality is quite good.

Filling

The MediaTek MT6572M processor became the heart. This is a dual core system with 1 GHz cores with Mali-400 MP graphics. The platform is already outdated, but on the other hand, heavy loads not planned. The launch of casual games is possible, but with serious projects there will be restrictions already random access memory. On board only 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB internal memory. The main problems here are precisely in this part. Problems occur when running multiple programs.

Another point is the opening of several tabs with sites overloaded with ads and widgets, you need to monitor their number. Plus, not all programs can be transferred to a memory card. There is Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, FM radio.

Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - device position sensor in space. As a main function, the accelerometer is used to automatic change orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, the G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled by various functions of the device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures the angles of rotation relative to a fixed coordinate system. Able to measure rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices that use only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially when moving quickly. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- sensor, thanks to which the optimal values ​​​​of brightness and contrast are set for given level illumination. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to the face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing accidental pressing. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for orientation in the area.
Atmospheric pressure sensor- sensor for accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure. Is a part GPS systems, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up positioning.
touch ID- Fingerprint identification sensor.

Accelerometer

Satellite navigation:

GPS(Global Positioning System - global positioning system) - satellite system navigation that measures distance, time, speed and determines the location of objects anywhere on the Earth. The system was developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring the distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated from the signal propagation delay time from sending it by the satellite to receiving it by the GPS receiver antenna.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation and time support for ground, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronism) with the Earth's rotation, which provides them with greater stability.

Introduction

Last year, a miniature smartphone from Vobis Computer (Highscreen) came out, accidentally left without my attention. However, no wonder: many observers have bypassed it, because the gadget has rather simple technical characteristics. On the this moment Pure J costs less than 3,000 rubles. Who will suit this model? It seems to me that those who are completely uninterested in processors, chips, memory, IPS or AMOLED matrices, cameras, and so on, but Android is important to install a couple of important programs, two SIM cards, extremely small dimensions and at least a more or less decent appearance . Of course, the design of Pure J is also not all right, but the user can choose one of the five colors of the back cover: black, white, orange, blue or yellow.

Design, dimensions, controls

The Pure J smartphone inherits the design of the Pure F, which, in turn, retained the external resemblance to the Jolla device on Sailfish OS. That is, the case consists of two halves: the back side is rectangular, and the reverse side is flat, but the corners are decorated with a semicircle. It turns out a two-layer "pie". Looks good.

As I wrote in the introduction, the device is available in several colors, or rather, covers are available. different colors. Alas, you will not find an additional panel in the kit, but it would be great, since Highscreen has already experimented in this direction. Probably, the manufacturer tried to save as much as possible on Pure J. As far as I know, all covers are matte, pleasant to the touch, the colors are quite bright.

Dimensions are small - 111x61x9.9 mm, after "shovels" like Samsung Galaxy Note, LG G4 or Meizu Pro Highscreen seems so small and easy to handle that it makes you want to use it for a while. However, it disappears when it becomes necessary to quickly type text on the keyboard, take photos, post them to colleagues at work, or something similar.

The weight of the phone is 115 grams, about the same as Apple iPhone 5.

Despite the low cost, the Pure J screen has an oleophobic coating, and good quality: the prints are almost invisible, they are erased quickly, the finger glides easily. Material - glass.

Assembled Pure J for a triple with a plus or a four with a minus. Over time, the lid began to creak. Everything else is good.

The loudspeaker is in the top center. It has a volume slightly above average, the quality is so-so: it creaks on ringing notes, the sound is booming. To the right of the speaker is the front camera.

Below the display are the control buttons. They are not illuminated, marked with silver paint.

Microphone - on the bottom, microUSB and 3.5 mm - on the top. On the left is the volume rocker, on the right is the power button. Relatively easy to use. Material - black glossy plastic.

On the reverse side there is a camera recessed into the case, a small LED flash, a slot where the speaker is located.

The back panel is removable. Below it at the top are slots for microSIM and miniSIM, as well as a microSD slot.

Display

This device uses a 3.5-inch screen. The physical size is 74x49 mm, the frame on top is 17 mm, on the bottom is 19 mm, on the right and left are about 6 mm each. There is no anti-reflective coating.

The Pure J display resolution from Highscreen is HVGA, that is, 320x480 pixels, the aspect ratio is 3:2, and the density is 164 pixels per inch. The matrix is ​​not IPS, with an air gap.

The maximum brightness of white color is 350 cd/m2, the maximum brightness of black color is 0.65 cd/m2. Contrast - 550:1.

Since the matrix is ​​not IPS, the picture, frankly, is disappointing: when the display deviates from itself, the colors fade sharply, when tilted towards itself, they are sharply inverted. The touch layer fulfills 2 touches.

Battery

This model uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with a capacity of 1300 mAh. The manufacturer does not provide data on battery life.

In my conditions, Highscreen Pure J "lived" for about 8-9 hours: for the whole time about an hour of calls, 4-5 hours of 3G, a couple of hours of Wi-Fi, a camera - 20 minutes, about an hour of listening to music. In a more gentle mode, Pure F functions until the evening.

From regular network adapter The smartphone charges up to 100% in about two hours.

Communication options

The device supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz); 3G/HSPA+ (900/2100 MHz). Otherwise, a typical Android set: Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS (satellites are reluctant to look for, but the accuracy is good). OTG mode does not work.

Memory and memory card

Inside, there is only 256 MB of RAM, which is only enough for a couple of applications in the background. Built-in memory is also small - 512 MB. Unfortunately, the camera will require a memory card to work, and for everything else. Naturally, there was a slot for it, the maximum volume is 32 GB.

cameras

The Highscreen Pure J device is equipped with two camera modules: the main one with 2 MP without autofocus, the front one with 0.3 MP. There is a flash.

The camera modules in this device are pain and sadness. Instead of 2 MP, there is probably 0.3 MP here (interpolation). If you take a picture of a sheet of A4 format, where the text is printed in 12-14 font, then most likely it will be difficult to make out the letters.

The device records video at a resolution of 854x480 pixels at 15 frames per second. The sound is great. The quality of the video is definitely higher than the photo. Therefore, it is better to make mini-rolls than photos :)

Performance

The Highscreen Pure F smartphone runs on the old Taiwanese MediaTek MT6572M chipset. It uses a dual-core processor with clock frequency each core at 1 GHz. The graphics are Mali-400.

The interface slows down a little, slows down, there are shell friezes. By itself, the smartphone is slow, it is difficult to perform certain functions. But if the memory is not clogged with applications, then Pure J can be used without problems.

If we talk about games, it is better to put the simplest ones, something from the “Runner” series (run and collect coins). However, in these cases, slowdowns are also observed - apparently due to a lack of RAM.

For more than a year now, import substitution has been the most pressing topic, we are replacing everything European with Russian brands. Despite the fact that this trend has not yet touched the market of computer devices, it is nice to know that there is a Russian company that is ready to replace imported products with its own product. We are talking about Highscreen, which has been producing smartphones and tablets at a reasonable price for more than 15 years, focusing on Western manufacturers. Today we will consider from all sides.

Design and main controls

As usual, we start the description with appearance smartphone. Before us is a device in a monoblock housing with a touch screen. The back side is made of white plastic, in the center is the name of the brand, made using the embossing technique. This detail is rather insignificant, but adds to the appearance of impressiveness. The front part is painted black, the display is covered with a protective glass. Note that the device looks very modern, corresponds to the latest trends, especially considering the fact that we have a representative of the budget price segment.

The HIGHSCREEN Pure J smartphone has a modest size, as the screen diagonal is 3.5 inches. The display resolution is only 480320, so the image quality is average. Such a device will be convenient primarily for making calls, since for many users the screen size will not be enough for comfortable Internet surfing. This smartphone will perform perfectly as additional phone, will serve as a great first gadget for your child.

Key Features

The smartphone uses a MediaTek MT6572M processor paired with 256 MB of RAM. These characteristics will be clearly not enough to work with complex applications, mobile version office programs cannot be installed for sure. The device will cope with simple tasks - simple games and Internet search.

The amount of available built-in memory is 512 MB, which is not enough for a modern user. You will definitely need the possibility of expanding the amount of memory using the microSDHC connector. As operational support the developer chose Android 4.4, so users of other devices on Android based will be able to work with a familiar interface. One of the main advantages for many users will be the presence of 2 SIM card slots, so you can combine 2 phone numbers in one device. This is very convenient if you need to separate work and personal contacts or SIM cards of operators from different regions.

The smartphone is equipped with 2 cameras - main and front. As a rule, for all manufacturers, the main camera has better technical equipment than the front one. The Russian manufacturer decided not to differ from others and equipped its gadget with a main camera with a resolution of a 2 megapixel matrix and a built-in flash for shooting in low light conditions. Unfortunately, the camera parameters will not be enough to take pictures of decent quality, but it may well be useful to you if, for example, you urgently need to take several photos. In addition, if you are buying a device for a child, then a powerful camera is not needed in principle.

For implementation wireless communication with the Internet, the device has a built-in wifi module. If necessary, you can connect to an available network to find the necessary information or download a mobile application.

For the autonomous operation of the smartphone meets the standard lithium ion battery 1300 mAh capacity. Of course, we cannot call this indicator outstanding, but in order to perform a standard set of tasks that are possible with the functionality this device, quite enough.

In addition to the standard set of features that you would expect in a budget smartphone like the HIGHSCREEN Pure J, we find a built-in GPS module. You can use your phone as a mobile navigator if necessary, to find a shop or cafe in an unfamiliar city. In addition, an MP3 player and FM radio are provided, so you will find something to keep you busy on a long road or a long queue.

Main technical characteristics:

• GSM 850 technology: yes
