More than a year ago, Highscreen released the most successful long-lived smartphone Power Five (review), which still remains one of the best gadgets with the largest battery on the market. Building on the success of such a model is not easy, but Highscreen tried to do it with the "evolutionary" Power Five evo... The device has improved in many respects (in particular, the AMOLED panel, which has caused a lot of criticism, has not become, now IPS is used) and retained its main feature- 5000 mAh battery. Let's see if it has become Highscreen Power Five Evo is a worthy successor of the Power Five tradition. The novelty costs 11,990 rubles (3,000 rubles cheaper than its predecessor).

Higscreen Power Five Evo specifications:

• Two micro-SIM slots
• Battery: non-removable, 5000 mAh
• Dimensions: 142x70x9.6 mm
• Weight: 168g

Complete set and design

Power Five Evo came to us without a box and accessories, but we know that in addition to the phone, customers also receive a power supply, USB cable, headphones, protective glass and a set of documentation. The device is available in four colors (white, gray, brown and gold), we got the last one. The front panel in all modifications is black, there is no "pseudo bezel-less", as in the first Power Five, in this model.

The Highscreen Power Five Evo is an all-plastic smartphone. The sides are made of plastic under the metal, and removable back cover- made of rough plastic, pleasant to the touch. Much less rough than, for example, Flash 2 (review), therefore perceived soft and delicate. Cool cover. Under it is a non-removable battery, a pair of micro-SIM slots and a microSD tray between them (according to Chinese tradition, it is marked as T, that is, TFlash). The battery of our sample has the name of the original model: Ramos M7. Quite unexpected, because most of the Highscreen Power smartphones are made by Gionee. The lid also contains the speaker holes, with overlapping two bumps fighting. They are quite sharp, I almost cut myself once.

There are no complaints about the assembly of the device, it is perceived as completely monolithic. Over time, the lid will most likely no longer fit as tightly as in the first days of use, but this is a necessary evil when using removable lids. Ergonomics are not ideal, but such is the price of using a 5000 mAh battery. However, it could be much worse: a small weight for a long-liver (168 g), slightly rounded ends and a good location of the keys on the side ends save the day in many ways.

One of the main drawbacks of the Highscreen Power Five was the 5 "AMOLED screen with an easily distinguishable diagonal grid and inversions under slight tilts. The Power Five Evo does not have any of this, since Ramos used an IPS display in this smartphone (the same resolution - HD). A typical inexpensive panel of this type: good brightness, excellent viewing angles, temperature changes at diagonal slopes (strongly noticeable only on dark background) and slightly cool color rendition. Five-point multitouch, no oleophobic coating. There are three touch-sensitive keys under the screen. The "back" arrow is directed to the right, for which I want to strongly curse the designer Ramos.

Software

Highscreen Power Five Evo is based on the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system with little or no changes from the manufacturer. Some icons have been redrawn here, as well as a standard set of MTK-backgrounds functions (sound enhancements Bes, image correction system on the MiraVision screen, power saving in standby mode) have been added. The translation into Russian is normal, no glitches and crashes of standard applications were noticed during testing (except that the first time it was turned on, there was some kind of nonsense in the battery settings). In my opinion, the stock firmware with minor modifications is better than other Chinese fantasies (I have never used the Ramos shell, so I cannot compare it specifically with it).

There is support for wireless updates. Highscreen already released one of these, it brought fixes for some crashed features and also removed features that weren't working. The utility for installing updates (combo!) Has also been updated.

Pre-installed apps

Camera

The Highscreen Power Five Evo has a 13MP camera with f / 2.2 aperture. It is proposed to shoot using standard application unchanged by the creators of the device. The camera boasts that it does not mix up small details (tree branches, for example, they always remain separate branches), making the most of the camera's resolution. At the same time, mistakes with white balance are not uncommon, and pictures often turn out to be a little underexposed. In general, the quality of the photos is average. Study examples:

The 5-megapixel camera with f / 2.8 aperture is perfect for video calls, and the selfies on it are quite decent. However, there is nothing outstanding in it. Video to the main camera is recorded in [email protected], when you first shoot, do not forget to rearrange the quality to "Best". The sound is recorded with high quality, you can hear both the speaker and the noise around. Digital stabilization compensates for shaking, forcing parts of the frame to "float" relative to each other. Autofocus does not work during video shooting, the change of focal length is exclusively manual.

Performance and benchmarks

One of the most notable improvements in the Highscreen Power Five Evo is more powerful hardware. The smartphone uses an eight-core MediaTek MT6753 chipset with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, it includes a Mali-T720 video accelerator. The amount of RAM is 2 GB, built-in - 16 GB. 1.4 GB and 11.15 GB are available to the user, respectively. There is nothing new in such a bundle for us, and its behavior in games is quite predictable. Asphalt Extreme comes with comfortable fps values ​​even on improved graphics, but in Unkilled it is better not to set the maximum speed - low frequency frames will, if not interfere with the game, then an eyesore for sure. More simple games Hungry Shark World or Dan the Man, for example, are perfect. The screen resolution is 720p.

Running AnTuTu three times showed no performance degradation, but a longer GFXBench test showed it. This means that the chipset tries to maintain good frequencies for a long time, but then it still gives up. This is due to heating. Despite the plastic case, the upper part gets hot under load, it is unpleasant to hold it. Most of all, the glass that protects the camera and the flash burns (it is one here - apparently, Ramos wanted to portray a semblance of a double iPhone cameras 7 Plus).

Asphalt Extreme

As for autonomy - the main feature of the Power Five Evo - I have to admit that Ramos is not a Gionee or a JSR. The Chinese tablet manufacturer does not have such an ability to squeeze the maximum out of the battery, forcing the smartphone to work for a week without recharging. Therefore, in the video display mode, the smartphone was discharged not in 20 hours, like its predecessor, but twice as fast. In Asphalt Extreme, the discharge was 17% per hour, that is, you can play on a single charge for up to 6 hours. This is also less than the Power Five. You can blame the IPS screen for everything, but Gionee can do wonders even with IPS (remember the 14.5 hours of video at 4000 mAh for the Highscreen Power Four).

And yet I'm too critical. 10 hours of video and 6 hours of games are good results. This is much better than the average 3000mAh budget phone. Power Five Evo stands out from the competition good time work without recharging, but it is very far from the Power Five records. Two days of active use (6-7 hours of the screen) Evo will pull out without difficulty, but you can't count on recharging 1-2 times a week.

conclusions

The Highscreen Power Five Evo is a rather strange development of the Power Five model. The evolutionary process followed the path of catagenesis: the pleasant AmigoUI shell was replaced by stock Android (which, of course, is also good), the camera did not shoot much better at the increased resolution, and the battery began to hold noticeably worse (although it is still better than in the models - short-lived). But we must not forget that the price has become lower, the model costs only 11,990 rubles. At the same time, it offers an eight-core processor and a peculiar, pleasant-to-touch case. The Power Five Evo is not a bad budget employee, but if you need maximum autonomy, take a closer look at last year's model.

Smartphone manufacturers seem to have changed direction, and now the race is for milliampere-hours, that is, power and battery life, and not for gigabytes and inches. This is not surprising at all, given the fact that Apple products, with which many brands compete behind the scenes, are distinguished by just insignificant battery power. At the last Apple presentations introduced a smartphone with even less battery power. Brands and young companies are trying to create a gadget that will be less dependent on the volume of the battery.

That is why it is interesting to know the reviews about the Highscreen Power Five Evo. This phone was invented in Russia, but made in China. It has not yet become a popular trend, but it has earned a good rating from many experts and ordinary users. The smartphone is easily and quickly sold out in mobile stores, because it combines everything that buyers of the gadget really appreciate. This is the price, and performance, and the convenience of communication with service center and consultants.

What are the reviews from the owners of the Highscreen Power Five Evo? What do users like about a smartphone and what not? What features are especially useful?

"Russian Chinese". Production secrets

The Russian company is a smartphone developer. In addition to him, there are also video recorders and accessories for gadgets. The peculiarity of the developers is to offer the buyer a balance of the latest technologies and reasonable prices, while at the same time with the high quality of the product itself and service. The company has its own website and online store, "Hayscreen" regularly provides news about itself and about promotions. The actual and legal address of the company is registered in Moscow.

The Highscreen Power Five Evo is, as mentioned, made in China. There was no widespread advertising, but he found his buyer. Or buyers found it. Among the latter, by the way, there are different reviews and ratings. And yet they agree on one thing: this is a very good option among other state employees.

Let's move on to reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo smartphone.

Powerful state employee

Before deciding to buy, you need to decide what characteristics a smartphone should have, what functions and capabilities you need. What Highscreen Power Five Evo offers:

1. Powerful battery.
2. A set of standard options.
3. Affordable price.

The set is standard, but still quite relevant at any time and for many users. Reviews of the Highscreen Power Rage Evo 16 GB suggest that the smartphone is very successful in combining and integrating all these indicators.

If you need a phone mainly for communication, using the Internet, taking notes and more, then the model is perfect for these tasks. The phone is lightweight, it is comfortable to hold it in the hand during a long conversation, the screen gives a good image, a smartphone can fit a lot of applications and files. You don't have to worry about recharging the gadget for up to two days, although private tests sometimes show performance up to a day and a half. But this is also an excellent result for the Highscreen Power Five Evo model. A good option for those who often refuse in a situation where it is not possible to use the charging cable, as well as for people who often travel and business trips.

However, if you are a traveler or active tourist hoping to use the Highscreen Power Five Evo as a portable camera, this may not be a very good decision. Of course, the camera in a smartphone is good, but you should not expect from it high-precision images with excellent color reproduction, which are given by representatives of expensive smartphone brands and photo and video equipment of average quality. about Highscreen Power Five Evo says that the features of the gadget's camera are quite satisfactory for most buyers.

The price of the first sales was set at the level of twelve thousand rubles, but then it began to decline. As a result, the price tag has lost almost one thousand rubles. All in all, the cost is great. Therefore, the reviews of the owners of Highscreen Power Five Evo often speak of this.

Packaging and equipment

The smartphone comes in an ordinary convenient box with the image of the Highscreen Power Five Evo gadget itself. The set includes USB cable, charging, manual and warranty card, and protective glass. Previously, for example, the Highscreen Power Rage Evo smartphone, among other things, came with an OTG cable, a silicone case and a special screen cleaning cloth.

The Highscreen Power Rage Evo has a metal body, while the Evo is made of plastic. The smartphone has become lighter, and its price has also decreased. But buyers who trust metal case The Highscreen Power Five Evo will most likely not be chosen, although the model's characteristics are very valuable. Plastic breaks and scratches easily.

The smartphone is equipped with proximity and light sensors - this, however, is a standard set.

Manufacturers recommend that you abandon attempts to get the non-removable battery. So you can harm your health, and the equipment will fail, and it will be impossible to give the gadget for warranty service. The center's specialists and expertise will confirm that there has been an intervention by the buyer, which automatically removes the smartphone from warranty service.

Ergonomics, screen and other features

As the reviews on the Highscreen Power Five Evo 16 GB confirm, the smartphone is very, very popular among buyers. As they say, all the positive features are on the face.

It has standard definition for budget smartphones... The pixel density is 270-320. Small diagonal. True, many see this as a significant convenience and advantage of the model. The smartphone can be used by holding it in one hand. Reach for corners, type with your thumb, and so on. This opportunity is important for those who solve many work tasks in parallel, including with a smartphone. For such a category of users, not only the characteristics of the functionality of the gadget are important, but also its size and weight, dimensions. And many of the buyers, as a rule, are ready to give up models with big screen to make it easier to use.

The battery consumes a little energy, and this is appreciated by users who like to play demanding modern games on their smartphones, watch videos or talk for a long time. The function is also useful for those who like a screen that does not go out for a long time (does not go into standby mode), and it is the standby mode that consumes the most energy and battery charge. Reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo brown smartphone say that this is an ideal option for those who want to save money on a gadget, but squeeze the most out of it. This option will meet the expectations of users.

Despite the fact that the reviews are good about the Highscreen Power Five Evo 5, not everyone likes the eight-core processor, but it works smartly and clearly ("Android 5.1"). Some buyers think it is out of date and should definitely be updated as soon as possible. For example, in the reviews there is an opinion that the labels are beautiful, and when you open them, you find the simplest design of the fourth "Android". All updates are, in other words, superficial. And this is often the case with the reviews of the owners of the Highscreen Power Five Evo smartphone.

Users do not understand how this can be tolerated in a model equipped with a powerful battery and a good camera, and offer to put a minimal shell of a standard design. However, this opinion does not prevent you from using all the capabilities of "Android" in Highscreen Power Five Evo and all the functions of the platform. The appearance of the icons and the slightly outdated interface do not reduce the functions of the device. These characteristics in reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo usually do not inspire admiration; users find their set in such a state employee very convenient.

The smartphone is fast, there are two gigabytes of RAM inside.

Case design and battery

Usually, users write that they are pleased with the work and performance of the smartphone. However, the build quality of the gadget is often noted. Highscreen Reviews Power Five Evo is called the most interesting model in the segment of budget, but powerful smartphones, because of its autonomy and functionality.

Anyone familiar with the manufacturer's products can assume that the Highscreen Power Five Evo is a continuation of its predecessor. But this is a completely new device with a good battery and better performance.

The body of the smartphone is made of plastic, including the bezel. However, the material is strong, as you can see if you remove the cover and try to bend it slightly diagonally. The lid is flexible and takes effort to break. However, you should not test the shock-resistant properties of a smartphone in practice, cracks and chips may well appear. After all, the gadget is not positioned as shock-resistant and super-strong. By the way, the buttons are also made of plastic. Reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo smartphone do not mark this parameter as a disadvantage. Most of the users who need exactly shockproof smartphones, understand that in this case look at the usual the lineup state employees are not recommended - you will not find anything worthwhile.

In reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo brown, they note that its thickness is a little less than ten millimeters, its weight is small - 168 g. The design is pleasant, including due to the rounded panel. Built-in 13-megapixel camera along the edges of the surface and one-color LED flash. In the center of the lid there is a chrome-plated logo of the manufacturing company, which, as noted by reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo white, makes the gadget much more interesting.

The battery is not removable, and this stops some from buying. Users choose smartphones with removable batteries so that later, when they become unusable, they can be replaced. Although today's smartphones rarely live up to the moment when the battery becomes unusable. As a rule, by that time, the phone itself had long been sent, if not to the trash, then certainly not used constantly and for its intended purpose. Moreover, even a non-removable battery can be replaced today in a specialized service.

Above the battery are slots for SIM cards (there are two of them) and memory cards. Flash card - a maximum of one hundred twenty eight gigabytes, sixteen gigabytes of memory. The conversational speakers are very good. Although the sound speaker on the cover is of average quality. On the top bezel there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo gray especially note the presence of a radio.

The lower soft keys are not illuminated separately, but they are quite distinguishable by themselves, even in the dark. A microphone and a charging socket are also located below. On the left - the volume control buttons, on the right - the power button, it is also the lock button. On the front surface there are sensors, automatic brightness control, a notification indicator and an earpiece. The volume is enough, in extreme cases (for music in nature, at a picnic, and so on), you can additionally purchase speakers. The screen is 1 280 x 720, the glare from the sun is almost invisible, it reproduces colors well, but this is the Achilles' heel of the smartphone, according to buyers. Because of this, the Highscreen Power Five Evo model is quite energy-intensive.

Smartphone camera and sound

The reviews of the owners of Highscreen Power Rage Evo about the camera are interesting. Photos are good, focus is fast with the HDR setting, which works well. There is electronic stabilization. There are options for "Voice Recording", "Face Detection", "Smile", "Auto Scene Detection" and other settings. There are various profiles, such as live photos, motion and smile tracking, panorama and multi-angle view. Therefore, the Highscreen Power Five Evo is considered to be perfectly balanced in terms of picture and performance. There are GPS and Glonass systems. Sound profiles have been added to the notification curtain.

The smartphone is available in three body colors: gray, brown and gold. It is made very reliably, nothing creaks and fits well in the hand. The style is strict and beautiful.

The lid has a matte textured finish. This makes it difficult for the gadget to slip out of your hands and creates a comfortable palm feel. Some users consider the design to be unfortunate, unassuming, and trivial. However, others in the model appreciate just that. Indeed, there is no pretentiousness or oversimplification in the smartphone. By outward appearance very similar to early iPhones. Especially the side panels. But this is not a copy in the full sense - the smartphone has its own design, developed specifically for this model.

Some buyers sometimes criticize the sound transmission. Music sounds with some distortion, background bass appears and high purities are smoothed out. The sound is not loud, but for many, this is quite enough.

The phone loads applications quickly. This is also noted by the reviews of buyers and specialists, experts and consultants in hardware stores about the Highscreen Power Five Evo smartphone.

What are the disadvantages

The built-in battery is a feature and disappointment of many modern smartphone models, both budget and premium segment. This is how some users characterize the capabilities of the Highscreen Power Five Evo smartphone "engine". Although it is still unfair to say, given the reviews about the Highscreen Power Five Evo lte, that this is a smartphone of an unsuccessful series.

There is also criticism of the headphones that come with the kit. Indeed, they are inexpensive and of poor quality. These will not last long. And the sound quality is degraded. Some users believe that the manufacturer might not have included a headset at all, which will have to be replaced very soon anyway. And users like the thickness of the cable, although it is also not made of expensive materials.

The manufacturer puts in the packing box on the smartphone. Users consider it good gift... As the reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo gold note, this model comes with an adhesive film, but, as buyers assume, the display does not have a coating that repels grease from the touch screen well.

The smartphone is very sensitive, instantly responds to pressing. Speed ​​dial text he can do. The symbols appear immediately in the message field, search string or notes. The Highscreen Power Five Evo does a great job with lots of open bookmarks. This does not load it at all and does not affect the speed of work and functionality... Buyers report high performance in games. Considering a powerful battery, as well as a bright and clear display, it will pull the most popular ones. At the same time, as they say in the reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo, the smartphone does not heat up.

Highscreen Power Five Evo announced as a smartphone with powerful battery... Five thousand milliampere-hour battery. Occasionally, customer test results point to reduced battery capacity in the Highscreen Power Five Evo and attribute this to disadvantages.

Who is this model for

Smartphones with a powerful battery are usually looked for by those who are tired of charging the phone several times a day, and those who are used to a gadget that works autonomously for several days. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at the described gadget and reviews of the Highscreen Power Five Evo. Its characteristics are as follows:

• long work battery that does not require frequent recharging;
• spacious internal memory;
• 4G communication;
• good camera for undemanding users;
• stylish design, etc.

Buyers write that after a month of use, they have an opinion about the Highscreen Power Five Evo as a very high-quality and interesting gadget. For example, work is stable up to one and a half days without additional charge. If the smartphone was connected to Wi-Fi, then the battery lasted for two days. With infrequent access to the Internet and applications, Highscreen Power Five Evo can work for seven days.

The manufacturer gives a one-year warranty for the phone.

10.11.2016

It seems that someone on Highscreen was watching an animated series called Generator Rex, which had "super-evolved" characters called EVO. Otherwise, I cannot explain the exact name of the new model.

Those cartoon Evoes were much cooler than their predecessors - ordinary people, and some of them, not all, but some - were superheroes.

Likewise, in some of its parameters Highscreen Power Five EVO looks exactly as evolved from simple Five copy. Or at least a new branch of evolution in the line of these smartphones, which has acquired a couple of advantages over the "venerable ancestor". Purely the son of the previous one Five this model probably cannot be called. There are differences, although will he become a superhero? It's up to you to judge, but the development of my favorite line with new models, I can only welcome - I frankly like it when I can choose a thing for myself to suit any mood and situation. Well, the fact that they may all be of the same brand is, in my opinion, clearly not a problem of the brand itself, but rather a problem of its competitors.

The search criteria for a new smartphone were rather vague, I, as the very King, wanted "either music and flowers, or to kill someone." Autumn, rain, melancholy ... It happens ...

In general, the following parameters were chosen for the selection: the price is in the range of ten to fifteen thousand - what is now over five, it is, of course, cheaper, I love "a canary for a penny, so that I can sing and not eat", but everything is so inexpensive, it was even before the "crisis", in general, outright rubbish, and which hardly got better over time, this is not wine, is it? I also needed capacious battery, which also affects the price. Desirable needed a good appearance, Android on a smartphone, and no Windows. In principle, everything.

Quite a few smartphones fall under such parameters, they all have their advantages and disadvantages compared to EVO- and the deliberate choice threatened to drag on. So, you can say, the appearance of me Power five evo- this is a "spontaneous purchase", and although "voting with your heart" instead of brains is not the most the best choice... But! I did just that. Without much reasoning became the owner Highscreen Power Five EVO... I just loved the color!

Set

The smartphone kit, in principle, turned out to be the most common, because this is not a collector's edition of any video game. But nevertheless one, as you can say, "bun" in it is a protective glass for the screen.

I would have preferred a cover, but, as they say, "dine with what God sent," and God and the developers sent glass.

• safety glass;
• Charger;
• USB cable for synchronization and charging;
• user guide;
• box.

All this stuff is packed in a blue-and-white box of the design "minimalism" that has long become a "corporate identity" - on the box there is a schematic image of a smartphone, briefly its characteristics, in fact, everything on the box is exactly the same as in my previous one Power rage... And almost any other smartphone from this company.

So, having quickly admired the box, you can start examining the subject himself. Unlike some gadgets, here the contents of the box are more interesting than its design.

Performance versus Power rage and Power five :
