The ordinary Russian consumer knows little about the Chinese company Ulefone - the company was founded in 2006, and began to produce its own products only two years ago. The choice is still relatively poor - the product line includes only a few smartphone models.
In the Russian Federation, the company does not have an official representative, but those who wish can use the services of online stores such as Gearbest.com.
Although the reputation of Chinese products is not the best, Ulefone products compare favorably with many nameless fakes. These are reliable and efficient smartphones at an affordable price. Review of five Ulefone models in the price range from 105 to 180 dollars attached.
Ulefone Paris, $ 115.99
This is a small (114.5 x 71.1) device with an elegant and concise design with a thickness of only 8 mm. The device will be delivered in a classic range - black and white version of the body. A buyer who is more or less familiar with the smartphone market will immediately recognize the familiar lines - Ulefone Paris is an almost complete copy of the iPhone 6. Unfortunately, you have to sacrifice something for the elegance of the side line, so the battery capacity is not particularly large - 2250 mAh.
Display: 5-inch diagonal, resolution of 1280 by 720, although not the most brilliant, but quite functional. Viewing angles are good, as are brightness and color reproduction.
Cameras: the main one is 13 megapixels, the front one is 5 megapixels, there is autofocus and flash.
CPU: MTK 6753, 8 cores, clock frequency 1.3 GHz - one of the most successful in the smartphone market; its performance is enough for games, watching movies, various applications.
RAM - 2 GB, built-in - 16 GB (or up to 32 GB with a memory card).
Output: stylish and elegant (albeit copied, but who cares?) design and a good and balanced range of possibilities. Unless the charging indicator will have to be closely monitored.
Ulefone Paris X, $ 119.99
It would seem that the new version of the well-known model should be more technically advanced, but the Chinese manufacturers went their own way - they simplified Ulefone Paris, at the same time slightly lowering the price for it.
What will change: MTK6753 processor will replace MTK6735.
Main camera instead of a resolution of 13 megapixels, it will get a resolution of 8 megapixels (although the manufacturer claims that this will not negatively affect the quality of images).
3D accelerator The Mali-T720 will be the same, but the clock speed will drop by 0.3 GHz - 1 GHz instead of the former 1.3 GHz.
Battery capacity - 2250 mAh.
Output: for those who like Ulefone Paris, but want a cheaper device.
Ulefone Be Pro 2, $ 119.99
This improved version of Ulefone Be Pro appeared on the market just two months ago. From the first generation, the smartphone inherited a 5.5-inch screen and HD-resolution, but at the same time got something new:
Processor MediaTek MT6735 (instead of 6732) and switched to a more modern version of Android.
Standard memory - 2 GB of operational, 16 GB of internal (or up to 128 GB with a memory card).
Audio processor The second-generation Bes Smart delivers clean and deep sound (the manufacturer claims that sound performance has increased by 13%).
Battery capacity at 2600 mAh it remains the same - the smartphone can withstand either 12 hours of continuous Wi-Fi and browsing the Internet, or round-the-clock conversations.
The device comes in dark blue, white and black body options.
Output: Compared to the previous model, this one is slightly more productive and balanced in terms of energy consumption. However, the battery capacity still would like more.
Ulefone Be Touch 3, $ 149.99
This is the third generation of the Be Touch flagship line, Chinese manufacturers decided specifically for Russian customers to test for frost resistance - they wrapped the smartphone in plastic wrap, placed it in a container of water and put it in the freezer. Pulled out after five hours. The phone received calls even when it was walled up in ice, and after defrosting it remained operational.
Seriously speaking, here are the main differences between the new model and the previous ones - the first and second.
Instead of a processor MediaTek MT6752 became MT6753 (frequency 1.3 GHz), which seems to be newer, but comes with the 3D accelerator Mali-T720, which is still less productive than the filling of its predecessors.
And the rest there are practically no differences - a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
3 GB of operational and 16 GB of internal.
Battery capacity 2550 mAh, two cameras in 13 and 5 megapixels.
Output: if you need to work with particularly complex applications or 3D games, then it's better to pay attention to previous models.
Ulefone Power, $ 179.99
Finally, Ulefone responded to the aspirations of users and released a new smartphone with a mega-battery with a capacity of 6050 mAh. Manufacturers claim that the device is able to work up to 4 days without additional recharging. At the same time, the Pump Express Plus fast charging function allows you to fully charge the phone in just a couple of hours. In addition, if their iPhone 6 suddenly discharged from a friend or girlfriend, this titanium will charge it without the slightest effort, spending only 40% of its own energy.
Otherwise, Ulefone Power is equipped with approximately the same set as the rest of the Ulefone smartphones from the more expensive segment:
- 5.5-inch display, 1920 by 1080 resolution,
- 64-bit processor MTK 6753,
- 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory,
- 13 and 5 megapixel cameras.
Of the new - an infrared sensor and a fingerprint scanner. For durability, a stainless steel frame is mounted in the casing. Colors: white, blue and wood back panel.
Output: a powerful smartphone on which you can do everything - and do it for a long time. But the price is higher.
