More and more Polish companies are trying their hand at the smartphone market. One of them is myPhone, in which we can find the model Infinity 3G. In his case, for less than a thousand zlotys, we can reach for exclusive product, built with better materials and more elegant. Whether that is the case and if we reach to the portfolio? Before we decide, let’s see what did we get in the box with your smartphone.
With this unit, attention is already all set. In a box in addition to the phone quite a long kabelek get USB, Headphones, printed instruction in Polish, which covers all the key issues, as well as foil wrapping screen instructions. The quality of all accessories leaves no room for criticism. Even if much less expensive devices which the manufacturer is able to offer such a set here so be sure to dispute a plus. Does this mean that manufacturers can compete only such accessories? Fortunately not.
On the front board, back …
The block your phone does not kidnapped me. Design is rather unremarkable, because although quality is very high, it’s a whole does not look appealing: ot so-so, almost rectangular block. All through the considerable side frames on a white surface, which cut both dark screen and a silver frame. This last element protrudes slightly from both sides, which helps to protect against scratches front and back of the device. Front makes it unlikely we are willing to buy the equipment, but if we look at the details, it turns out that it is made really well.
Just below the screen are three illuminated controls, their arrangement is reversed (retraction to the right). I am not a supporter of such buttons, I prefer those displayed on the screen, because then in full-screen applications, we have even more space. I admit, however, that myPhone does not waste space, because from the front, has placed its logo and it does not violate our eyes every time you look at your phone. Housing is unibody, so there is no flip flops for download, there also replace the battery. To get to the microSIM card tray, and a microSD need to use the supplied key.
The volume buttons and power switch located on the right side. They are solid, not make noise and do not cause problems. At the bottom there is a place for microUSB at the top for the headphone jack. On the back we find a stylish logo of the manufacturer and model, the main speaker and camera with LED Illuminates. Unfortunately, these last two elements placed on the same corner, which in some cases makes it difficult to take pictures. At the bottom we find an inscription while explaining the mystery of origin of the device: “MyPhone.pl Manufactured in China”. The rear is glass, but the manufacturer declares that used Corning Gorilla Glass glass 3 to its protection, which should provide good protection. The use of glass has a positive effect on the experience of its use – back looks a lot better than the front.
I must admit that Infinity construction is very solid. The phone does not bend anywhere, it does not seem weird or strange noises. Housing is a bit slippery, but apart from the already mentioned some poor design can not be faulted. During the test, I could not scratch despite its worn together with keys in one pocket, he did not give up even frame by which some feared. The whole is relatively light (phone weighs 133 grams), though he does not belong to the smallest. Infinity Dimensions 137.4 × 67.7 × 7.4 mm. As you can see, the smartphone is slim, feels it in a positive way when you carry in your pocket.
Easy but faded world
The manufacturer has used 4.7-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1280 × 720 Pixels protected, as in the case of rear glass Gorilla Glass 3. For this display have two major concerns. Firstly, the colors are displayed on it without depth, which is strongly noticeable even without a direct comparison to another standing beside. Definitely somewhere failed calibration, and it should not have happened at that price. The second issue is related to technology – can be seen in the light of the sun and its matrix grid points, which can sometimes disturb some users. Attach not be up for it to sharpness, HD at that size works very well. Similarly fall viewing angles that allow you to freely rotate the phone without a noticeable loss of quality. This occurs only on the diagonal.
I have noticed, however, that in light sensor sometimes does not work when switching from manual to automatic mode. The brightness remains at the same level, the adjustment only when the locking device and re-awakening. His work can be accused of something: although the maximum brightness level is considerable, Vending frequently sets it too low. It is worth considering the use of a separate application to better adjust the brightness. Visibility in the sun leaves something to be desired, the screen compensates for this, however, good tactile properties and a relatively high resistance to dirt and fingerprints.
Android geared to the recipient with Polish
On board we find Android 4.4 .2 KitKat. The manufacturer has not decided on his cap and too great changes. Fortunately, nothing broke down the system, because this almost pure Android runs very smoothly and makes a good impression. Importantly, pre-installed software is tailored to the users of Polish. As a result, we find, among others, jakdojade application, Rysiek, navigation NaviExpert (unfortunately only in the trial for 7 days), and the program IFider to view news from popular sites on various topics.
Among the Google Chrome browser is available, the client disk Gmail, instant messaging Hangouts, the search engine; books, music and kiosk Play, YouTube and the client. Apart from that, the phone will find a simple list of tasks, FM radio (requires headphones), and file manager for undemanding users, so you can copy and move data. Although the unit responds to connect a USB flash drive and try to use the OTG display the message about the damaged card and format it wants. Needless to say that other outfits such a message is not. Built-in system gallery in addition to viewing image files, you can edit. In this we find the options for automatically correcting, cropping, applying filters, as well as decorative frames.
Although the settings you will find the module of an update, I did not expect that anyone ever uses it. So surprised was me information about the release of a new software version (from 1.0.3 to 1.0.6) we saw during the tests. The new edition has not introduced a lollipop admittedly, was, however, a package of amendments designed to enhance stability and performance. This is a good example of that in the case of some manufacturers can count on upgrades. If the software includes some mistakes, their improvement will give us much more important than changing the whole system with a new one.
Pretty fast MediaTek
Infinity uses MediaTek MT6592 processor. It is a budget system with eight Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.4 GHz and GPU in the form of the Mali-450 MP4. Although many cores on paper looks good, let us remember that this unit with limited capacity. Indeed, this can be seen in synthetic tests that fall on average. In practice, it is however very well. The system works quickly launch applications swiftly. Games such as Carmageddon, Modern Combat 4 or Need For Speed Most Wanted does not pose any problem to him. Under heavy load, the upper part of the back slightly to heat up, but not to the extent where one could speak of discomfort. There also noted a reduction timing, and so cheap MediaTek is doing really well.
The phone has 1 GB of RAM which in the case of Android may seem too small value. Fortunately, lightweight system lets you work with multiple applications simultaneously without loss of liquidity. On the data available with 16 GB of external memory (do not know why divided into two segments), of which the user is about 12 GB. If necessary, place we can increase microSD card up to 32 GB. Smartphone allows you to use 3G (unfortunately in this model run out LTE), Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, and Bluetooth 4.0. The manufacturer decided not to apply the NFC, which is a bit strange. Among the competitors pricing impossible to find a device equipped with such a module.
Call quality is impeccable, both sides be heard loud and clear. Headphones supplied not grab the (lack of bass), but they are done really well and have a long cord. Once they are connected, you can use the FM radio in your phone. The main speaker is small, but sufficient. Since about 75% of the volume of the sound becomes distorted and unpleasant. Fortunately, while playing or watching movies basically no chance of its covering.
Great to selfie? Only in this leaflet producer
The main camera with a resolution of 8 MP is equipped with a Sony BSI F2.4 lens. It is able to do a pretty decent photos, as long as the environment does not run out of light. When it gets a bit darker, the camera selects the ISO too high, comes out then in practice the lack of optical stabilization. As a result, images are blurry and lacking details. Blur sometimes occurs even in well-lit scenes. In addition to the images we can use it for recording in 1080p at 30 frames per second. The recordings did not kidnap, they are not of the highest quality, for simple applications, but enough.
The front camera is of 5 MP – more than that HTC produces several times more expensive model M9. The resolution, however, does not translate into high quality images, these are rather mediocre. Yes, we can use it to selfie, but this is not the peak of dreams of people that indulge in such photographs. The application photographer to operate the equipment manufacturer has not been modified. Its capabilities are considerable, it allows you to create HDR images, panoramas, face detection, and manual dialing advanced parameters (eg. Exposure, white balance, sensitivity).
The weakest element of Infinity is modest battery capacity of 2000 mAh . Unfortunately, during typical use such as web browser, instant messaging, email client charge level is sinking. Just a few minutes using the browser to just unplugged the telephone charge indicated level of 95%. If we decide to tax the games or tests, the situation is even worse. Of great importance is the brightness level of the display during the day and using the cellular transmission will be necessary to recharge the phone. Standby time seems to be very good, but it turned out that the sensor is malfunctioning. After 5 days indicated 75% charge, but time enough load to fall to about 40%, and now the phone has shut down. So he can not be trusted.
myPhone corrects other
It would seem that myPhone is another Polish company that simply cheap buys equipment in China and then sells it in Poland and other European countries. This is the essence, but worth bearing in mind that the manufacturer gives too little of each other. On the market there are many smartphones ready, yet firmly problematic because of the software, or very modest equipment.
Here it does not. You can see, however, that the manufacturer has adapted the software to customers in Poland, to put a bit of work and a rich set of measures that we receive with your phone. It’s the details, but they make the testing of the device was very pleasant. The price is not the lowest, it could be a bit more attractive, the more that the camera and the battery leaves much to be desired. After all wish anyone to the market was more brands of this type – and I think that they are able to take care of the customer better than many more well-known company.
