Accelerometer (or G-SENSOR) - device position sensor in space. As the main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the image orientation on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, G-Sensor is used as a pedometer, they can be controlled by various device functions by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope - Sensor measuring rotation angles with respect to the fixed coordinate system. Created to measure rotation angles in several planes at the same time. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices using only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially with rapid movement. Also the possibilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor - Sensor, thanks to which the optimal brightness and contrast values \u200b\u200bare set for this light level. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Proximity sensor - Sensor that determines when the device is close to the face during a conversation, turns off the backlight and blocks 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 - Sensor to determine the side of the light into which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the magnetic poles of the Earth. Information obtained from the sensor is used in cartographic programs for locality orientation.
Atmospheric pressure sensor - Sensor for precise measurement of atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location definition.
Touch ID - Identification sensor for fingerprint.

Accelerometer / Geomagnetic / Illumination / Approximation

Satellite navigation:

GPS. (Global Positioning System - Global Positioning System) - satellite navigation system, ensuring measurement of distance, time, speed and determining the location of objects anywhere in the Earth. The system is developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The main principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated by the time of delaying the signal propagation from sending it to the satellite before receiving an antenna GPS receiver.
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 designed for operational navigation and temporary support of users of ground, marine, air and space-based. The main difference from the GPS system is that GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronization) with the rotation of the Earth, which ensures greater stability.

Alcatel Pop 2 5042D, we will talk about today, is a continuation of the line called One Touch. This Chinese device is sold in the Russian Federation for only five thousand rubles.

Briefly about technical specifications

Later we will talk about the parameters of Alcatel Pop 2 5042D more, but now we will analyze the fundamental moments. It can be said, the cornerstone, on which this unit is based. So, for the price of 5 thousand rubles, we do not get the newest software shell ("Android" 4.4), not the largest amount of RAM (1 GB) and not the highest quality screen. The time of autonomous work the device will not please us either, the battery is calculated only at 2,000 milliam per hour. But with communication capabilities, Alcatel Pop 2 5042D is all right. Nevertheless, who will look at the set of communications, if they do not allow the device for a long time? But first things first.

Display

It is safe to declare that the screen is the part of the smartphone, where you come across the most noticeable paradox. On the one hand, Alcatel Pop 2 5042D is equipped with a TFT matrix, which today has the worst display quality. It can easily overtake IPS, well, about AMOLED and S-AMOLED do not even have to talk.

Main factors

So, POP 2 5042D has a screen resolution equal to 480 per 854 pixels with a diagonal of 4.5 inches. Calculations suggest that the pixel density is 240 points per inch. If the manufacturer installed the matrix of the matrix not TFT, but IPS, it would be a noticeable progress and could change the apparatus evaluation strongly. Nevertheless, the TFT matrix, or rather its installation, here is a kind of payment for the low cost of the device. Actually, there is another justification of the use of TFT: low battery capacity. Such a matrix will be careful to spend the charge, rather than the same IPS.

Color reproduction

It is pleasantly surprised that the screen does not give overly blue shades, as happens in cases with many budget decisions. In general, with color reproduction, POP 2 5042D pleases, it is at a good level. Here is practically crystal clear white color, for which you want to thank the developers. And it is even at small brightness levels. Yes, of course, without error it did not cost. For example, in the small text you can see the lubrication of thin lines, and when the apparatus is a vertical plane, the color gamut will occur. But isn't the other Touch Pop 2 5042d opponents relating to the same price category? Unlikely.

Additional modules and functions

Another Alcatel smartphone is equipped with a light sensor that allows you to adjust the screen backlight level automatically. Considering that not all models for seven thousand rubles have this function (and even ten thousand rubles, oddly enough), for such a set, it is possible to rejoice. By the way, the Alcatel smartphone changes the level of brightness without any jerks, making everything gently, smoothly and gradually.

The developers have added a fairly interesting solution to the device. Like the "lumi", the device can be made from the sleep mode, so and "drive" it there with a double tap on the display. When the "awakening" immediately opens the main screen, and Lockskrin will be missed. The same can be done with exactly the opposite.

Camera

Alcatel Pop 2 5042D, the price for which is about five thousand Russian rubles, is completed with two cameras. The main one has a permit constituting five megapixels. Frontal modest, just two megapixels. The main module is complemented by the automatic focus function on the subject, there is a LED flash. However, it should not make a huge bet on it, since it copes with its tasks (due to low power) very and very mediocre.

Inconsistencies

By the way, problems were identified with the front camera. Previously, information about two megapixels was obtained from developers and official representatives of the company. However, multiple tests conducted using special software showed that only 0.3 Mp. We will not note special settings, there are only two of them: activation / disabling night mode and creating four photos in a row. The compression algorithm is not bad, allows you to save space in the phone. It is possible that the company initially planned from 0.3 to 2 megapixels, but for some reason decided not to do this. For those who are not tempted in Selfie, the result will still remain acceptable.

What's with the main camera?

In Alcatel Pop 2 5042D, the firmware for which will allow you to optimize the operation of the operating system, there is a fairly good basic camera. Despite its five megapixels, with good lighting it gives really high-quality pictures. In parallel, the level of illumination will fall, the quality will deteriorate, but it looks quite logical. Automatic focus triggers not only smartly, but also competently, it will not work to the process or results.

Software

The work of software and iron that adjusts leads to the creation of good pictures. Even without installing advanced settings, you can make high-quality photos in almost any type of lighting. When shooting persons, the user can rejoice in a slight offset of the spectrum towards warm shades. For other scenarios, this parameter does not affect almost no, so it is possible to evaluate it positively. There is a macro mode. It will not provide ideal results. Nevertheless, lovers of filming colors and other objects can safely count on it.

Macro

What can I say about photos with text? In principle, it is unlikely that it will hardly boast some exemplary achievements. But the required level is still present. If you take a picture of the A4 format page, the text on it will be easily read even without special scaling. However, readability will fall in proportion to the decrease in the size of the letters. Alcatel POP 2 5042D, whose characteristics are listed at the beginning of the review, does not make it possible to conduct good shooting at night. Even though he has a flash. The only intelligent destination is use as a flashlight.

Practical use

If you are an active user, then it will be necessary to purchase a cover for Alcatel Pop 2 5042D, in order not to damage the case and do not wash the spraying. We have already spoken about the work of the display, so it makes no sense to repeat. You can disassemble the subject of communications, which will probably be more interesting for those who have come together to use the smartphone on its direct purpose. That is, actively communicate in social networks, view the pages on the Internet and be convened with close people.

So, in the cellular network of the fourth generation, the device works quite quickly. He immediately "clings" to the coating. This, when taking into account the price of the device, even slightly surprising in a pleasant plan, of course. Signal indicator shows impressive information. In general, from the third to the fourth generation and back the device switches very cheerfully. And it really pleases. It is clear that no complaints in this case cannot be any complaints. Here without problems.

Wireless networks and speakers

The sensitivity of the Wi-Fi module at a high level, there are no complaints about it. Pleased fast and accurate GPS operation. There is an A-GPS add-in, once again facilitating work with satellite maps of terrain. Together with a good "hook" smartphone for coating cellular networks, these parameters provide an excellent opportunity to use the device as a communicator. Relocate is made on glory, you will not argue with it.

As for sound, this part of the subject of our current review is the very spoonful of tar in a barrel with honey. It becomes a kind of rehabilitation. Multimedia speaker is not perfection. Hissing, crash - here is its main shortcomings. There is nothing more special to allocate, but this "sweet couple" is enough, which is called, for the eyes. Probably, in this direction of Alcatel, there should be a loan to the brilliant decisions of Beeline, where the multimedia speaker is absent, and the role is played by a universal auditory.

Smartphone slightly higher than the budget level, but on two SIM cards, with LTE support and costs 4 990 rubles. In the MTS salon (RTK). The device is quite balanced and without serious flaws, for quick Internet enthusiasts is suitable.

Asked MTS to "strive" this is a miracle, interested in the price and the presence of support for LTE. What do not say, and buy something modern with LTE is cheaper than 6,000 rubles. not so easy. Especially, in the current difficult times. Deliveries from "Podnebyss" do not consider for many reasons, from which now the main thing is the proximity of the New Year holidays. Time to collect and scatter gifts, and not communicate with the "Russian Post". And in this POP2, another second SIM card as a bonus and characteristics are not frankly dull.

Points over "I"

Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2, manufacturer TCT Mobile Limited (China). Price of the device - 4 990 rubles. SIM-cards are two, Microsim format. Operating system - Android Kitkat 4.4.4. The processor is a four-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, 1.2 GHz. Memory of 8 GB built-in (available 5 GB), RAM - 1 GB. Slot under MicroSD up to 32 GB. TFT screen 4.5 inches, resolution - 480 x 854, Pixel density - 240 PPI. Battery - 2,000 Mah.

Support 2G / 3G / 4G (LTE), ranges 2G 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, 3G 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, 4G LTE BANDS 1/3/7/8/20. The SIM card in the second slot works only in GSM. The main chamber is 5 MP with autofocus, front camera 2 mp. Wi-Fi 802.11 B / G / N, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, FM radio is, only through an external antenna (headphones / headset).

SIM-LOCK is not installed, only CellTick Start is installed from the additional shells (starting shell). Lighting, approximation, direction and magnetic compass, brightness autorugulation. Weight - 147 g, plastic, standard design, presented in four colors: black, white, green and lemon.

Positioning

While it is determined by the very fact of availability in the support device LTE, the smartphone is interesting to those who want to try new technologies without serious "investments" today the minimum price of the smartphone with LTE is more than 6,000 rubles, the closest analog is Explay AIR, the price of it in 6 100 rubles. Yandex Market found only in one store (i.e. it is not a fact that there is available at such a price), in other stores closer to 7,000 rubles. But in this Explay AIR one SIM card and twice the internal memory. At the price (6,000 rubles), Alcatel Pop S3 is relatively close, but there is a 4 inches screen, it is difficult to consider a competitor.

Probably not so far time when the presence of LTE will cease to be considered a "premium" function and will appear in most smartphones. I still remember the times of the first phones from 3G, which cost much more expensive than analogues, and now there are completely simple "dialer" without 3G. The same will be with LTE, but so far for techno-happiness you have to pay. Our Alcatel is the first swallow in the category "Smartphone with LTE is cheaper than 5,000 rubles." I hope that not the last one.

As for other fillings, it is far from the top level, but noticeably better than traditional budget apparatuses. The smartphone is really balanced, special complaints do not cause and many will suit the universal solution. For those who consider 3G speeds more than sufficient for the smartphone, I can only repeat once again: happiness not only in speed. LTE is much "responsive" due to the small response time, this is important not only in online games. The browser also behaves completely differently, it is necessary to try myself. Well, of course, on average, LTE turns out to be three times faster, and the speed is superfluous.

Equipment and design

Included, the smartphone itself, the output current adapter 1 A (charging the smartphone in three hours), connecting cable, headset and user manual. We lived before the time when the headset in the box is already perceived as a pleasant surprise. The memory card from the sets disappeared, it is necessary to believe, forever, but it is just not a pity. But it is more difficult to get a suitable headset.

Sizes are comfortable, strips along the edges of the screen are narrow. Thanks to their small width, the smartphone is quite a bit larger than the machine with the screen 4 "and in the hand lies well. The back is cheap smooth plastic, not even matte, I'm already silent about Soft Touch. Fingerprints on the back are visible good. The design is emphasized by "no", nothing interesting. Well, okay, we are already accustomed to the technological simplicity of inexpensive devices. There are no multicolored or "under chrome" inserts. This time, at least a variety of color options pleased, the apparatus in black, white, green and lemon design. Someone has already complained about the lack of covers for him, adapted from Samsung S5, but did not coincide the slot for the dynamics. Recently, I see the phones in the covers, really convenient? However, the question of taste.

Design

The traditional monoblock is packed tightly, slightly unusual looks big, but a thin battery for 2,000 mAh. The chamber's eyes for the size of the housing does not protrude. There are no complaints to the quality of assembly, with the exception of not quite good buttons. The device lay in the box already slightly ajar, pleasant such a little thing.

Two sockets under the SIM card are separated and "watching" in different directions, it is not possible to confuse. MicroSD socket (supports cards up to 32 GB) also inside. MicroUSB socket - on the bottom face, on the top - 3.5 mm connector under the headset or headphones and the second microphone. The voice microphone is a bit right of the microusb nest, the palm or finger will not overlap.

Volume controller rudder and power button - on the right face. In my opinion, they are not enough, but it is tolerant. It is worse that the buttons have a very short and fuzzy move, and it was generally possible to reduce the volume only with the third attempt. Most likely, the individual defect of the button in a particular instance.

Having pleased the presence of a LED indicator of events. The color is one (bright blue), but it works fine and reacts on the application events too. The vibromotor is medium, on wearing the apparatus in the pockets of the upper clothes is not designed.

Display

TFT 4.5 inches display, resolution - 480 x 854, Pixel density - 240 PPI. In my opinion, this is the most ambiguous part of the device. A good and pretty "progressive" filling, at first glance, does not combine with such a screen. I would like permission to be better and matrix IPS. We assume that this is the payroll for the low value of the smartphone. As a consolation: the display of such a permit does not significantly spend energy, and the battery 2,000 Mah works for a long time.

There is also a pleasant surprise, the screen does not suffer the usual for budget displays "Sonya." I would say that in color reproduction it is almost the best option in your class of those that I have visited. Practically pure white color even with small levels of brightness, it is a weighty plus. Note the photo above, there is practically no characteristic blue.

Another photo of the display close-up. With flowers, everything is very good, thanks and on that. Thin lines on the maps and in the small text, of course, closed. Colors when turning in the vertical plane are noticeably distorted.

The lighting sensor is, auto-tuning brightness is present. It works well in different conditions, tracks changes and changes the brightness quickly, without jerks. For all the time, the test never occurred the desire to manage the brightness manually. The automotive rotation in the landscape mode works correctly and does not annoy with random trigs.

The backlight of the three virtual buttons under the display is also working, but the auto-turns off quickly, and without highlighting they are not visible at all. I did not find it in the settings, but it is difficult to consider a disadvantage, three buttons we all remember or remember quickly.

Finally, an important trifle that has an indirect attitude to the display. The phone can be output from sleep mode and unlock the double tap screen on the display. We get immediately to the main screen, bypassing the lock screen with the screensaver. Send to sleep can be similar way. Until now, it came across only on Lenovo smartphones, the thing is convenient, saves the time and energy of the battery. Do not even feel sorry to leave a free space on the screen for "blocking" taps. If this is not done, then you get on the icon and managed to start the application.

Cameras

There are two of them: the main chamber is 5 MP with autofocus, front camera 2 MP. LED flash is available, but weak.

With the front chamber again did not cost without intrigue. According to the description, it is 2.0 MP, on the fact (file properties and antutu data) - 0.3 mp (VGA). In the front camera settings, only the night mode and the ability to make 4 shots in a row, there is nothing more to customize. In consolation, I can remember the humane compression algorithm, the average size of the file is 250 kb. Or were they going to make interpolation up to 2 megapions, but something went wrong? Okay, selfie is not completely obscured, see the photo above.

The main chamber (5 MP with autofocus) was quite decent. "Parade" photos with good lighting almost no complaints. Autofocus will not be called slow and works out correctly.

In general, I liked the work of software, the "calculates" correctly and adjusts the white balance. Snapshots with different types of lighting (for example, a rather dull table lamp) look good without any "dances with a tambourine" around the additional settings. The spectrum is slightly displaced in the "warm" side, which is not bad when shooting a face and non-critical for most other scenarios.

Macro mode is provided and works. Printing banknotes will not work, but on the shooting of a close-up of all sorts of flower butt can be calculated safely.

Work with text. Again, nothing outstanding, but the photographed A4 page is easily readable. If the text is not too small (see above the photo by clicking), the recognition system is also well coped.

With the shooting at night I did not work out. Whether it wanted too much from the camera, whether it is necessary to take care well. Well, even though there is no pronounced "noise", i.e. the situation is not hopeless and static objects can be attempting to take pictures.

LED flash is, but I would recommend immediately forget about its existence. Although I lie, the lantern mode can be useful. The trouble is not even that the flash is frankly weak. Whether it was completely saved on the LED, or the software works incorrectly with him, I do not know. But pictures are obtained with clearly pronounced blue. Taking into account the fact that the software is well handled different types of artificial lighting, from such a "outbreak" more harm than practical benefits.

Settings are enough, and they are sorted comfortable. Is present and even well works "barcode scanner", kitkat 4.4.4 bonus? The black and white shooting mode is very useful for text and schemes, hides in the "Filters" section under the romantic name "Noir". This is a mistress.

As a summary by chamber. Stars from the sky lacking and, especially since they do not take pictures. But the product is quite suitable for different applications and is not a frank "excuse" of the manufacturer of the budget smart: "Should the camera in the smartphone? Well, nat to you camera! ". Here we have a honest 5 MP with a normally working autofocus and a good software accompaniment.

Characteristics

Data in virtual "parrots" Antutu - 21 663. To the top models far, but about one and a half times better than that of modern budget smartphones. They argue that most modern games in the smartphone will even go on medium settings.

Generalized device data, Network Signal Info. This application is present in the photo and screenshots in the form of widgets (warning questions).

List of key data on Antutu device, the image in the "readable" resolution is available on click.

Antutu data for sensors installed in the device.

Shell, Programs, Management

Judging by the familiar pictures and the starting widget, the starting shell from CellTick is installed on the smartphone, last time I suggested that in the future "branded" products MTS with a high degree of probability we will meet this package. Here, however, the package is present in a strongly trimmed form, without a set of additional assembly widgets with the ability to make online purchases. Whether at the time of release in CellTick have not yet "finished" their product under Android 4.4.4, or because the smartphone is not sold under the MTS brand. Do not matter.

Additional software is always a lot, the Holy Case. However, there are popular and unconditional useful specimens. In the sense of time saving and efforts, the "autoloader manager" is very pleasant, which displays a list of all applications that start immediately and occupy a place in memory. To run through the list and turn off the startup of all extra - a minute case, and then you can not rush to understand each software separately.

As a consolation: It seems that the additional pre-installed software is easily removed without the mining of root-rights and other difficulties. The wool all the list was lazy, but from viewed programs, no one declared his "inviolability."

Even in the menu there is a wonderful section Smart Live with dozens of "recommended" programs. About payability or short test period of which you will only learn after a challenged four-way combination of download bypassing the standard Google Play interface. Again, the case of the master and no one forces, just keep in mind.

Some time passed with the disconnection of CEL (Cell Broadcast) Tariffation zones on the MTS SIM card. A couple of years ago, solved exactly the opposite task (enable), but now I did not find it in the settings. And receive the message Stolitsa every couple of minutes with all the accompanying sound and light indication ... you understand. The CB settings did not help, but the cherished 50th channel (MTS broadcasts) was default in the "Emergency Alerts" section, in the subsection of settings for Brazil. Thank you for not the "presidential" broadcast channel, which is not possible to disable in principle.

And from pleasant surprises - a complete set of network settings. I do not know, Alcatel or Google heard mutually exclusive complaints of users on restrictions in work modes, but heard. And almost all the options that can only wish were made. Use on health.

Impressions from work

I will not repeat about the ambiguous screen (see above), about the LED indicator (it is) and the headset (it also is) wrote. An interesting topics - a radar. Who was surprisingly good. Immediately "clings" LTE and confidently holds almost up to -125 DBM on the indicator. Not just keeps, and data transmits. In general, with switching between networks at the smartphone, everything happens well and quickly, not in one mode does not "stick".

With the data transfer rate, too, without complaints. It is clear that 41 Mbps first of all should give a network, but the smartphone should be able to take this thread. It seems that it takes no problems.

With the indication of the operating modes at the smartphone, everything is very interesting. A thorough study of the "user manual" seems to not leave questions, each mode is described in detail, documented and should be displayed in the status bar accordingly, sorry for the terry stationery. And in fact?

In fact, the 3G HSPA + indication is abolished in principle, this embodiment of 3G is declared the fourth generation (4G) with an easy hand of US providers, they first began to engage in such words in cellular networks. With a similar phenomenon in the firmware of Alcatel products, I have already met. In the "User Guide", the icons were left for beauty and, probably, for controlling organs. If there is a completely delightful and techno-advanced subscriber, then it is popular for him to explain the difference between the 4G icons (type, this is the previous 4G) and 4G / LTE (which is the original 4G). Here is a "unobtrusive" mixing of concepts for the sake of a favorite customer.

However, will continue. I have no complaints about Wi-Fi module, sensitivity at a very good level. GPS turned out to be unexpectedly fast, A-GPS worked too without problems and with good accuracy. The bad feelings from future charges in "consumption" are already beginning to appear, but I can't do anything about it. All radio frequent smartphone really liked.

Sound part. Here, here you can rehabilitate, the multimedia speaker is not at all ice. Voice speaker is also so-so. Still, I am delighted with a brilliant solution in Beeline Smart 2, where they abandoned a separate multimedia dynamics, making the voice greater power universal. All multimedia suffered not strongly, but the transfer of voices has become radically better. It seems to me that the "retrograde" solution is the future of relatively cheap devices. But let's see.

Summary

A completely efficient smartphone level is higher than the "state employee", also with LTE support. Radoblock pleases, and at the price at the gate 5 000 rubles. The device should like the techno-enthusiasts. The screen is noticeably dissens with "stuffing", it is sad. And unsuccessful (my opinion) buttons. But in general, the device is very good for the totality of the price and characteristics.
