گوشی vivo X5

گوشی vivo X5

.

In terms of hardware, the X5Max is less exciting, relying on the now ubiquitous midrange Snapdragon 615, coupled with the equally commonplace 2GB of RAM. It doesn’t skimp on features though sporting a 13MP primary camera behind a fast f/2.0 lens, as well as a 5MP front-facer.

A 5.5-inch FullHD display helps keep thickness in check thanks to the Super AMOLED tech, while providing the signature colors and contrast. The extra 0.33mm thickness have allowed designers to fit a larger-capacity battery, though it still looks underpowered on paper for its screen size.

Key features

  • Dual-SIM dual-standby capability, microSD slot shared with second SIM
  • 5.5″ 1080p Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 401ppi
  • Octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU (4x 1.5GHz plus 4x 1.0GHz), 2GB of RAM, Adreno 405 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset
  • 13MP autofocus camera, f/2.0 lens, single-LED flash; HDR, Panorama, Night, Pro mode with long exposure (up to 32s)
  • 1080@30fps, 1/4x slow motion video recording, 10x speed timelapse
  • 5MP front camera, f/2.4, 720p video recording
  • 16GB of built-in storage
  • Cat. 4 LTE (150/50Mbps); dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n; Bluetooth 4.0; GPS with A-GPS; microUSB
  • 2,300mAh battery
  • Standard 3.5mm headphone jack

Main disadvantages

  • Dated Android KitKat 4.4.4
  • No FM radio or NFC

گوشی Asus Zenfone 2

گوشی Asus Zenfone 2

.

Now, Asus doesn’t make it easy on the prospective buyer as they offer the Zenfone 2 in a number of model variants – a range of devices under one and the same name. The entry-level ZE500CL comes with a five-inch 720 display, Intel Atom Z2560 chipset with its quad-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz, and 2GB of RAM. The ZE550ML ups the screen size to 5.5 inches, while keeping the HD resolution. The processor inside the Atom Z3560 ticks at 1.8GHz, and RAM is the same.

Then there’s the ZE551ML, which sports a 5.5-inch diagonal and a FullHD resolution. Even the ZE551ML moniker wouldn’t tell you what’s packed inside, as there’s a version with the same Atom Z3560 and 2GB of RAM and a top model, sporting an Atom Z3580 with specs going all the way up to 2.3GHz and 4GB of RAM.

To give Asus credit, probably not all models will be available on all markets and that may settle it for you, depending on where you live. The one we have at the office is the ZE551ML with the lower-specced hardware, meaning an Atom Z3560 and 2 gigs of RAM.

With that confusion cleared up, we’re now moving to the task at hand.

Key features

  • 5.5-inch IPS capacity touchscreen with 1080p resolution and 403ppi density, Gorilla Glass 3 protection
  • Intel Atom Z3560 chipset with a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU
  • 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a microSD slot for further expansion
  • Dual-SIM, Dual Call capability
  • LTE Cat.4, NFC, Bluetooth; GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot; microUSB 2.0 port, MHL, USB host
  • 13MP main camera with dual-LED dual-tone LED flash, 1080p@30fps video recording; 5MP front camera
  • 3,000mAh battery, fast charging to 60% in 40 minutes
  • Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box with Asus ZenUI overlay
  • Nice build quality, sleek looking back cover

Main disadvantages

  • No 2160p video recording
  • Non-removable battery despite the removable back cover
  • Rather large and hefty
  • Zenfone 2 has a confusing naming convention – not only are there several of them, but ZE551ML comes in two hardware versions

گوشی Oppo R1x

گوشی Oppo R1x

.

The R1x first appeared in its homeland as the R1C and was later on re-branded for the international markets. International has dubious meaning, as the device remains elusive outside of Asia. Even there it’s pretty hard to find in online stores.

Limited availability may be the smartphone’s greatest flaw, because the actual package has the looks and specs of a winner. The attractive design has a touch of premium, a recipe for success in the packed midrange where styling often gets sacrificed for better hardware.

A 5-inch display offers just enough screen real estate to cater to the average customer, without becoming a burden on the pocket. Meanwhile, the HD panel should strike a decent compromise between resolution and battery efficiency.

The Snapdragon 615 is among the most popular chipsets in the upper midrange and here it’s backed up by 2GB of RAM, so a good all-round performance is to be expected.

The R1x is a dual-SIM device, but the second card is limited to 2G networks and it goes into the microSD slot, leaving you with the 16GB of storage only.

There’s a 13MP megapixel primary camera on the back behind an f2.0 lens and the front 5MP unit has an equally wide lens for better selfies with available light.

Key features

  • Dual-SIM dual-standby capability, microSD slot shared with second SIM slot
  • 5.0″ 720p IPS capacitive touchscreen, 294ppi
  • Octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU (4x 1.7GHz plus 4x 1.0GHz), 2GB of RAM, Adreno 405 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset
  • 13MP autofocus camera, single-LED flash; HDR, RAW, Panorama, long exposure (up to 15s), 25MP UltraHD modes
  • 1080@30fps, 480p@120fps video recording
  • 16GB of built-in storage
  • Cat. 4 LTE (150/50Mbps); Wi-Fi b/g/n; Bluetooth 4.0; GPS/GLONASS; microUSB
  • 2,420mAh battery capacity
  • 3.5mm headphone jack, active noise cancellation with a dedicated mic

Main disadvantages

  • No Gorilla Glass protection
  • Android KitKat 4.4.4 isn’t quite up to date
  • No FM radio or NFC
  • Non-removable battery

گوشی Lumia 435

گوشی Lumia 435

.

The double digit dollar price (that’s without the inevitable promotions) can’t get you much further than 4″ WVGA displays, Snapdragon 200 chips and and 8GB of storage, but Microsoft is keen to point out that this is more than enough to secure smooth sailing through its mobile platform. The Lumia 435 relies on a dual-core processor and entry-level 2MP camera, while the Lumia 532 does slightly better with a quad-core processor and a 5MP shooter.

Key features

  • Optional Dual SIM connectivity
  • 4.0″ TFT display of WVGA resolution (233ppi)
  • Lumia 435: 1.2 GHz dual-core Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 302 GPU, Snapdragon 200 chipset
  • Lumia 532: 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 302 GPU, Snapdragon 200 chipset
  • 1GB of RAM
  • Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 10 update coming summer 2015
  • Lumia 435: 2MP fixed-focus camera, 480p video recording @30fps
  • Lumia 532: 5MP fixed-focus camera, 480p video recording @30fps
  • 0.3MP front-facing camera, 480p video
  • 8GB of inbuilt storage, microSD card slot, up to 128GB
  • Wi-Fi b/g/n; Bluetooth 4.0; GPS/GLONASS; FM radio with RDS
  • 30GB of free OneDrive storage
  • Free worldwide voice-guided navigation with HERE Drive+
  • 1,560 mAh Li-Ion battery

Main disadvantages

  • Dated chipset
  • No LED flash
  • No secondary microphone
  • About 3GB of internal storage available to the user
  • No backlight for capacitive keys
  • No Glance Screen on the Lumia 435

Corner cutting in hardware is inevitable here but what really matters is the real life user experience and Windows performance. We’ll be focusing our efforts on how the Lumia 435 and Lumia 532 handle the day-to-day tasks and if they are indeed capable of delivering passable smartphone experience.

The two smartphones also have a simple build that should make them longer lasting than many of their more expensive peers and a bunch of bright colors to pick from, which should please their target teenage audience.
