Highscreen Power Five Max - Specifications. Power Five Max review - we have never seen such a Highscreen Memory cards are used in mobile devices to increase the amount of memory for saving data

Super AMOLED, 5,000 mAh battery, MediaTek Helio P10 - these are the key features of Highscreen's new product - Power Five Max. The company positions the device as a flagship and is justified, because it really has a very impressive set of "specs". Admittedly, the price has gone up a bit.

Highscreen Power Five Max is the top device in the Power line. From the name it is clear that the device is quite tenacious and boasts a 5,000 mAh battery. The manufacturer claims that the device can play HD videos for 8.5 hours and allows you to listen to music for 17 hours in a row. Of course, all the nuances of testing are not disclosed, but what is, is.

Another important advantage of the device is a 5.5-inch screen with Full HD resolution and 100% coverage of the NTSC color gamut. Matrices of this type are characterized by the presence of deep black and maximum viewing angles without the slightest hint of inversion. Of course, in practice there may be options. Let's hope that according to the results of real tests, Power Five Max will not disappoint.

And you don't have to worry about the body. It is made from 6000 series aluminium. Not flagship materials by the standards of the most-most devices on the market, but still not ashamed.

Introduction

The Vobis Computer company, which owns the Highscreen brand, has released, it seems to me, a relatively affordable and ultimate smartphone in the middle segment - Power Five Max. The device is made of durable 6000 series aluminum, the screen is protected by tempered glass, inside you will find an octa-core P10 chip, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. In addition, you can install a memory card up to 128 GB and two SIM cards at the same time (you can hardly find such a combination now). And in order for this whole powerful “machine” to work for a long time, the developers installed a 5000 mAh battery in the Power Five Max. Of the little things - phase detection autofocus in the main camera, a fingerprint scanner and an IR transmitter.

At the moment, Highscreen PFM (so short) can be bought for 21,000 rubles.

Design, dimensions, controls

I am sure that Highscreen has not done anything better in terms of materials and design so far. The Power Five Max really looks great and is built with high quality. Of course, a bit like OnePlus 3, but now almost all devices are similar.

The appearance of the PFM is laconic, without unnecessary ruffles and decorations - a strict bronze-colored male smartphone. The front panel has 2.5D glass, the frames are visually very thin, there are two polished edges around the perimeter (by the way, almost until the last moment before the review I thought they were blue, but it turned out that they had a protective film pasted on them). The back cover is slightly sloping, due to which the phone is comfortable to hold in your hands. Above and below there are two thin plastic horizontal partitions (apparently, antennas are located there). Note - not plastic inserts, but partitions - everything is like in adults :) I repeat once again that the case is made of 6000 series aluminum (the same material is used in Apple iPhone 6 and 6S).

During the use of the device, not a single scratch remained on the Highscreen screen, on the back cover, as well as on the side frames - an excellent result, theoretically, one can believe in the strength of a durable 6000-series aluminum case.

All elements are symmetrical relative to each other, which is not bad. Oleophobic coating is present, excellent quality: prints are practically invisible, the finger glides without problems.

Top in the center is a speaker, covered with a metal mesh. The speaker is loud, there is a margin for volume, the tone is pleasant. To the left of it is a camera and an indicator of missed events, to the right are light and proximity sensors.

Under the screen is a mechanical button with a built-in fingerprint scanner. The button is slightly recessed into the case, the pressing is firm, the stroke is small. Right and left - "Back", "Menu" without highlighting.

Bottom – openings for speakerphone and microphone, microUSB. It is strange that this type of USB was used in this device, because the gadget is new, it supports fast charging - Type-C could also be used.

On the left side there is a metal slot for a microSD memory card. On the right are slots for two microSIM cards. Please note that there are two SIM cards and a separate memory card, there are practically no good gadgets with such a scheme. However, the Samsung A5 and A7 will work just like that, however, their cost is higher than the Power Five Max.

The power button and volume rocker are also on the right. They are metal and easy to handle.

On the top, you'll find a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones and an IR transmitter. How much the latter is needed is probably not for me to decide, but the fact that it is is an additional plus to the overall assessment of the smartphone in conclusion.

On the reverse side are: a camera module protruding a millimeter above the body, a second microphone and a flash.

In general, I liked the ergonomics of the design, the appearance of the device and the materials: there is a feeling that you are using an expensive gadget, which cannot be said about many Chinese phones ...

Comparative dimensions

Display

The device is equipped with a 5.5-inch display. The physical size is 68x121 mm, the frames on the right and left are just over 3 mm. PFM resolution - FullHD, that is, 1920x1080 pixels, density - 400 pixels per inch. The matrix is ​​made using SuperAMOLED technology without an air gap. Which generation of Samsung matrices is unknown, but PenTile is almost invisible. A significant disadvantage is the lack of color saturation settings (you can choose only warm or cold shades), so the colors are always vigorous, and even I (a big fan of Amoled) cannot look at the display for a long time: my eyes get tired of brightness, contrast and super-juicy colors quite quickly.

The brightness of the matrix backlight is high, it is enough for comfortable reading information in direct sunlight.

Battery

The novelty received a built-in 5000 mAh battery. The capacity is large, but the operating time of the device could be longer: talk time - up to 15 hours, video playback - up to 12 hours, screen glow at maximum brightness for about 6-7 hours. In mixed mode of use, the smartphone works for about a day and a half.

The gadget supports fast charging, AC adapter 5V - 2A, 7V - 1.8A, 9V - 1.8A, 12V - 1.3A. If you are worried that the battery will begin to lose its capacity or simply fail faster, then you can turn off fast charging in the settings. Definitely a plus!

Communication options

The Highscreen Power Five Max smartphone was equipped with two slots for micro SIM cards. There is support for 4G LTE. Frequencies: 800, 900, 1800, 2600 (B1, B3, B7, B20) MHz. Naturally, there is Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth version 4.0, GPS and even GLONASS (it finds satellites instantly, the sensitivity is high). Of the original things - an IR transmitter for working with equipment.

Memory

Inside the PFM, you will find 4 GB of RAM. As far as I know, it is Power Five Max that is the first Highscreen smartphone with such a large (by the standards of the company) RAM. There are few officially sold devices up to 20,000 rubles and with 4 GB of RAM in Russia. Built-in memory - 64 GB. The speed of receiving and transmitting data is above average, which is good. The device supports microSD cards up to 128 GB and OTG.

cameras

The main camera is equipped with a 13 MP Sony Exmor RS IMX258 sensor (sensor size 1/3.06'', pixel size 1.12m, aperture f=2.0) with BSI backlight. A similar module is installed in Meizu M3e, Lenovo Vibe P2, Sony Xperia XA, Xiaomi Mi4C and many other mid-range gadgets. Front camera 8 MP, aperture f=2.2.

I was completely satisfied with the quality of the camera for its price: always accurate white balance, fast and accurate focusing, little noise, natural colors, wide dynamic range. Not Samsung Galaxy S7, but it takes decent pictures!

Below is a comparison of Highscreen Power Five Max, Huawei P9 Plus and Meizu MX6. Best of all, which is not surprising, the device from Huawei behaved, then Meizu, and closes the Highscreen. However, Meizu and Highscreen shoot about the same, the first one is a little less “noisy”.

From left to right - Highscreen Power Five Max, Huawei P9 Plus and Meizu MX6

Video shoots FullHD, I did not like the quality.

The front camera is great!

There are many filters in the settings, there are manual parameters - ISO, shutter speed, and so on.

Photo examples

Performance and OS

The smartphone operates on a MediaTek P10 chip (8 cores, Mali-T860 graphics). A large number of devices work on this chipset, including competitors Meizu M3e, M3 Note and others. From the point of view of glitches and brakes, PFM does not raise questions - smartly and without lags. If we talk about toys, then 50,000 “parrots” in Antutu indicate that all games will definitely start, but some of them will run at medium settings. The gadget is not quite gaming. Under load of the processor, the metal case heats up slightly.

Just before the New Year, when everyone is actively looking for gifts, Highscreen introduced its new flagship smartphone Power Five Max. With this model, the company summed up the fruitful 2016 for releases, and at the same time made a serious bid for the next 12 months. Over the past year, six Highscreen smartphones have been in my hands. Each of them was quite good, given the belonging to the low price segment, and was popular with buyers who expected to get an inexpensive and high-quality smartphone with a long battery life. At the end of the year, Highscreen decided that it was not enough to satisfy the basic needs of buyers and afford something more. This is how the Power Five Max appeared - the most expensive smartphone in the brand's lineup.

In this device, the approach to the choice of components has changed significantly - we are no longer talking about choosing medium-sized components for the sake of price and low power consumption. Having a good position in the low price segment, it's time to move on and try to capture new niches for yourself. For example, the new Power Five Max is the first Highscreen smartphone to feature a high-resolution Super AMOLED screen, a powerful processor, large RAM and storage modules, and a fingerprint scanner. Along with the new positioning, even the design of the box has changed - instead of the familiar blue drawing of a smartphone on a white background, Highscreen designers decided to pack the devices in black cardboard with large typography.

First about the design

The all-metal body of the Highscreen Power Five Max is made of 6000-series aluminum and its design is a bit reminiscent (but definitely does not copy) LeEco, HTC 10 and OnePlus 3 smartphones. Two neat plastic inserts are horizontally located on the back panel, ensuring the smooth operation of communication modules, a large logo is traditionally located in the center of the body, and in the upper part there is a rounded square of the main camera that shimmers in the light, a noise reduction microphone and a flash. The grid of the main speaker, familiar to Highscreen, has changed its location and has been moved from the rear panel to the lower edge. On one side of the micro-USB port is a microphone perforation, on the opposite side is a new speaker location. A 3.5 mm headphone jack and an infrared port for controlling household appliances are located on the upper edge of the smartphone, and on the large sides there are traditionally volume and power buttons, a SIM card tray, and a microSD slot.

If we talk about the front side, the main difference between the Power Five Max and other Highscreen smartphones was the appearance of a mechanical Home button with a built-in fingerprint scanner. Above the screen in the center is a conversational speaker, and on the side of it are symmetrically located circles of the front camera and auxiliary sensors. By the way, symmetry is a leitmotif throughout the design of the Highscreen Power Five Max: all elements of the rear panel are arranged strictly vertically, perforations and fixing screws are located clearly on the sides of the USB port, there are two “eyes” above the screen on the sides of the speaker. All this creates a feeling of a thoughtful, high-quality and expensive device, even if you really want to, you won’t be able to find fault with the Power Five Max design. Well, unless in principle you don’t like this style of appearance of smartphones, although this is already a matter of taste, and not real claims against the manufacturer.

Special mention deserves the thickness of the Power Five Max. Highscreen taught its users that it doesn't make sense to sacrifice battery capacity and battery life for the sake of smartphone thickness. In the new device, this approach no longer works, but you still don’t have to compromise. The design engineers were able to fit a 5000 mAh battery into a body that is only 8.2 millimeters thick, thin (less than 2 mm) bezels on the sides of the screen, and an adequate weight of 180 grams. Power Five Max looks very stylish and compact, it is really convenient to use it, and at some moments you can’t even believe that we are actually talking about a smartphone with great autonomy.

One touch

The fingerprint scanner is what I have been waiting for from Highscreen for a very long time. The manufacturer literally managed to jump into the last car of the outgoing train and still present a smartphone with a fingerprint sensor in 2016. Postponing the introduction of this technology to the new year would be simply indecent. According to the experience of using the scanner, it works as it should - instantly reads the fingerprint and unlocks the smartphone. There are no questions or complaints about this component, its accuracy and speed are high. However, it is very difficult for me to resist and not throw a stone in the Highscreen garden due to the lack of NFC. According to rumors, it is known that in 2017 the Android Pay mobile payment service may be launched in Russia, so a combination of a fingerprint scanner and an NFC module would allow using the Power Five Max instead of a bank card. In defense of the manufacturer, we can only mention the fact that in the regions where Highscreen is most popular, terminals supporting contactless payments are not very common. However, this statement can hardly be called a worthy justification. I hope that in 2017 the use of fingerprint scanners will continue in the Highscreen lineup and an NFC module will be added.

Power for a long time

If earlier Highscreen chose the smallest possible components for comfortable operation that would ensure low battery consumption, then in Power Five Max the filling corresponds to devices in the middle price range. Responsible for performance is a bundle of a 64-bit 8-core MediaTek Helio P10 chip with a frequency of 1.95 GHz, a Mali T-860 graphics accelerator and 4 GB of RAM. This configuration can no longer be called a budget solution for applications and undemanding games. Owners of the Power Five Max will be able to run World Of Tanks: Blitz, Asphalt: Extreme, Godfire: Rise of Prometheus on it, the resource requirements of the game with graphics settings above average. This is a radical difference between the new smartphone and all its predecessors and a full-fledged entry of the brand into a higher league in the mobile device market.

Despite decent performance, battery life is still a hallmark of Highscreen smartphones. The manufacturer claims that the 5000 mAh battery will last for 17 hours of music playback, 11 hours of HD video playback or 25 hours of talk time. Since few people will spend the entire charge on only one thing, it is best to evaluate the autonomy in mixed mode. With very active use, Power Five Max works for me for about two days without recharging, and if you limit communication, updating social media feeds and listening to music even a little, you can count on even better performance. By the way, if we talk about heavy processes, resource-intensive games reduce the battery charge by only 10-13% within an hour.

All eyes on the screen

Another technological step forward for Highscreen was the transition from IPS displays with HD resolution to Super AMOLED matrices with Full HD (1920x1080) resolution. The Power Five Max display looks great with really deep blacks and very high brightness and contrast. In winter, this is problematic to check, but it can be assumed that the behavior of the screen in the sun will be excellent. The screen covers 100% of the NTSC color gamut and prompts users to change the white balance themselves if necessary, choosing from neutral, warm or cold colors.

stop a moment

The main camera is a Sony IMX258 module with a 13MP sensor resolution and BSI pixel backlight technology to reduce noise in photos. There is no optical stabilization and laser focusing, most often these are the privileges of more expensive smartphones. The shooting quality of the Power Five Max is the best among all Highscreen smartphones. When talking about the camera, I no longer need to make reservations that normal photographs are obtained only in ideal lighting, and after the deterioration of shooting conditions, the quality of photographs drops dramatically. Of course, Power Five cannot compete with smartphones costing from 30 thousand rubles, but the camera allows you to take really good photos and will not disappoint the owner in everyday use.

The camera software also leaves a good impression, the manufacturer has provided all the popular shooting modes, including panorama, HDR, time-lapse, barcode scanning, as well as manual settings and the ability to create GIFs. For the front camera, and this is a quite ordinary and good-quality module with a fixed focus and a resolution of 8 megapixels, there is also a mode for improving the quality of a selfie.

What is the result

The Power Five Max smartphone is a very serious step forward for the Highscreen brand and an excellent outcome of the outgoing year. Having achieved success in the budget segment, the manufacturer begins to raise the stakes and does so with obvious success. Of the significant shortcomings of the Power Five Max, one can only note the absence of an NFC module, but this smartphone also has strengths, which I did not dwell on in too much detail. For example, Highscreen does not modify the Android operating system or preinstall junk apps. Of the changes, only a slightly improved Settings section can be noted, in which support for gestures has been added and a different logic for grouping options has been implemented. Also, Power Five Max has a high-quality audio chip, an infrared port paired with a special application allows you to control home appliances, the main speaker is loud enough not to miss calls and notifications, and the screen is covered with 2.5D effect glass rounded at the edges.

It remains to be hoped that the Power Five Max will be sold no less successfully than the budget Highscreen models, and this will allow the manufacturer to continue improving its products and moving into the price segment of more than 20 thousand rubles.

Well known in the domestic market. The company produces very interesting devices. The Power series of smartphones stands out in particular, a distinctive feature of which is the use of high-capacity batteries.

Recently, the manufacturer introduced a new "long-playing" smartphone Highscreen Power Five Max, which "bypassed" other models in terms of battery life. This is not surprising, because the device is equipped with a record-breaking 5000 mAh battery!

But, in addition to the “giant” battery, the Highscreen Power Five Max has many more trump cards up its sleeve, and which ones - read in our review, let's go!

Flagship design

Highscreen smartphones have always been distinguished by a fairly simple ascetic appearance, most often the devices were made of plastic, but the Highscreen Power Five Max was an exception. The company's designers have seriously worked on the appearance of the smartphone. As a result, the novelty looks at the level of flagships from the most famous brands.

The body is made of aluminum, and the screen is covered with a protective 2.5D glass. There are no plastic elements at all, which emphasizes the premium level of the device. The smartphone comes in a copper-colored case, the design is monolithic and fits perfectly in the hand.

The power key and volume rocker are located on the right side. Above them is a tray for two independent Micro SIM cards. The memory card tray is separate and is located on the left side of the device. The smartphone supports microSD memory cards up to 128 GB.

At the top end there is an infrared port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. At the bottom is a microUSB connector for charging and transferring files from a PC, and on the sides of it are the microphone and main speaker grilles.

Highscreen Power Five Max is equipped with a 5.5-inch screen with Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The matrix is ​​made using AMOLED technology and is characterized by incredibly rich colors, high brightness and deep contrast.

Under the screen is a mechanical Home key with a built-in ultra-fast fingerprint scanner. On the sides of the key are touch buttons, the left one is responsible for the multitasking mode, and the right one is for returning “one step back”.

The manufacturer's logo flaunts on the back of the case, and above it is the peephole of the main camera of the smartphone - everything is standard.

The ergonomics of the Highscreen Power Five Max are top notch, as is the design of this smartphone. The manufacturer has done a really serious job on the appearance of the device, which has borne fruit in the form of a premium look that even top flagship devices from world famous brands can envy.

Filling possibilities

Highscreen Power Five Max is based on an 8-core MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755) processor and a Mali-T860 MP2 video chip, complemented by a bunch of 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. The smartphone runs on pure Android 6.0 OS, without pre-installed shells, which has a positive effect on the speed of the device.

According to the results of performance testing, the device showed average results, which was expected, because. the MediaTek Helio P10 processor is not among the high-performance "gems". On the other hand, the computing power of the device is enough not only to perform standard tasks, but also to run very demanding games.

In the AnTuTu synthetic test, the smartphone scored 51,585 points.

In the graphically complex auto-simulator Asphalt 8 Extreme, the device proved to be quite worthy, providing a frame rate of more than 50 frames per second at the maximum picture quality settings.

Naturally, the device can easily cope with the playback of video files with resolutions from HD to 4K. Moreover, both through the built-in player and through the popular MX Player application. There are no problems with playing streaming video from services such as YouTube and Vimeo.

Highscreen Power Five Max is equipped with a powerful audio chip, so the sound in the headphones is very high quality and loud - music lovers will surely be satisfied.

Speaking about the capabilities of the smartphone, it is safe to say that the Highscreen Power Five Max will not let its owner down when performing tasks of any complexity. The device is not only a faithful assistant for every day, but also a portable entertainment center. Coupled with an incredibly large battery, Highscreen Power Five Max will be an excellent companion during long trips, business trips and air travel.

Photo and video capabilities

Highscreen Power Five Max is equipped with two cameras. The main one has a matrix resolution of 13 megapixels, and the front one - 8 megapixels. Also, the main camera is equipped with a powerful LED flash. The smartphone is able to take high-quality pictures from both cameras in sufficient lighting both outdoors and indoors. The camera app has a lot of settings and various shooting modes, including features such as auto-retouch, HDR, face detection, etc.

In addition to photography, Highscreen Power Five Max records video with Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and 30 frames per second.

Smartphone cameras are fully consistent with its price category. Yes, they will not impress a sophisticated user, but they will not disappoint either. The quality of the resulting images is at a fairly high level, so you can use the Highscreen Power Five Max as a portable camera without any problems.

autonomy

The most interesting point and, obviously, the most significant advantage of the Highscreen Power Five Max is an incredible 5000 mAh battery. Such a battery can last up to 12 hours of continuous viewing of Full HD video at maximum screen brightness!

The smartphone's battery is so powerful that the Highscreen Power Five Max can be used as an external battery to charge other devices! This is done using the OTG cable that comes with the device. By the way, the same cable allows you to transfer files between your smartphone and other Android devices (if this function is supported by the latter).

The next feature of the novelty is fast charging, which allows you to charge the Highscreen Power Five Max from zero to 100% in less than 2 hours.

We again had a phone of the Russian brand Highscreen in our studio. This time it's Power Five Max. We will talk about it today.

In general, this phone arouses a lot of interest, even if only because it is the top-end and, accordingly, the most expensive Highscreen phone. Its cost is 20,990 rubles. Well, let's see what good they can offer us for this money.

The case is not the most standard for Highscreen, as it is non-separable. In fact, this is quite pleasant, as it leads to the complete absence of squeaks. Unlike, for example, the Power Rage Evo model, the review of which you could see a little earlier on the AndroidInsider channel. It was possible to observe some squeaks and crunches when squeezing the phone. The case, by the way, is made of aluminum 6000 series and has a thickness of only 8.2 mm. This is especially impressive when you find out what kind of battery is built into it. But I will talk about this a little later.

Well, the first thing that attracts attention after a visual inspection of the phone is the screen. If we talk about Highscreen, then not many phones from this company can boast of an AMOLED display. More precisely, there are only two models, namely Highscreen Bay and Power Five Pro. But here it is also Full HD, which was also rare before. At various times, only Boost, Alpha, Zera and Thor could boast a display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. But now it's time to combine the pros of both display options into one that can display the perfect black color in Full HD, as is commonly believed in relation to AMOLED displays. The display itself has a diagonal of 5.5 inches, a density of 480 dpi and Gorilla Glass protection. True, the disadvantages include the fact that the manufacturer has not gotten rid of the dark frames around the perimeter of the screen. It's a pity.

Probably not to say that the screen turned out perfect, but it's not bad, that's for sure. Of course, there was some color distortion at a large viewing angle, but this is more of a feature of the technology, and not of this particular display. But anyway, thanks to this display, the phone makes a very positive impression and additionally emphasizes its level.

Having talked about the appearance and the first impression, it's time to move on to the stuffing of the phone. The phone is made using MediaTech's Helio P10 octa-core processor, also known as MT6755, running at 1.95 GHz. The Mali T-860 chip is responsible for the graphics. The processor installed in this phone can be considered a premiere for Highscreen, since before that it was not installed in other models of phones from this manufacturer. In the AnTuTu test, the Power Five Max scores 51,734 points, not brilliant, of course, and far from many other models, but the result can be called average for this price category. Again, this is a very high score for a Highscreen, as previous models only managed 40,000 points. And, of course, the functions of the operating system will be performed by Android 6.

The amount of RAM is 4 GB, and built-in 64 GB. Not bad, but more is possible. The manufacturer thought the same and supplemented the phone with a slot for microSD memory cards with SDHC support. So there should be no problems with free space, even if you like to record a lot of videos and music on your phone. By the way, in addition to memory cards, you can also insert a second SIM card into this phone, but this will hardly surprise anyone.

In games, hardware allows you not to be distracted from the gameplay due to image freezes and freezes, as well as freezes of these same games. Although the frame rate sometimes seems not very high, but only after a long game process, when the phone is already a little warm. We tried running Asphalt, SuperBike, N.O.V.A. on it. 3 and World Of Tanks. The result was almost the same everywhere.

Who loves to take photos? Frost loves taking photos! Although, of course, many people like it when the phone has a good camera. What do we have in this phone? Speaking about the characteristics in a nutshell, the resolution of the main camera is 16 megapixels, and the front camera is 8 megapixels. Naturally, both have an autofocus function, and the main LED flash. However, something like a flash did not deprive the front camera. Here comes the simulation of the flash by highlighting the subject with a white screen set to maximum brightness.

There are no particular complaints about the quality of the photos, but perhaps it would be better to make a camera with a slightly lower resolution, but also with less noise, since with a strong increase they still begin to appear. Sometimes the “night” mode helps in the room, which significantly reduces the noise level. At the same time, the camera will please those who like to delve into the settings. Traditionally for representatives of the middle class of phones, there are many settings and shooting modes. There are “HDR”, “Night”, “Panorama”, “Time Lapse” and “Burst” modes. For lovers of effects, shooting GIFs and Polaroid-style photo cards with the ability to add text to the bottom of the photo are provided. Well, for work, a scanner for QR codes, text and business cards is provided, built into the Photo application itself. Some of these modes are also available for the front camera. Separately, it is worth noting those who like to take all the photos in manual mode. They can also be done through a regular photo application.

Highscreen has always focused on high-capacity batteries. So, for example, everything in the same Boost 3 comes with two batteries, the largest of which is as much as 6900 mAh. In this phone, the situation is more modest, but not much, since the manufacturer managed to place a 5000 mAh battery in its 8.2 mm thick case. And it's hard to say that this is just a number, since the phone was used quite actively during the preparation for the review, but the battery still lasted for two days. If you use it as a regular device for every day, then it can last for three or even four days. Well, in standby mode, you can obviously forget about the outlet for more than a week. In general, on its website, Highscreen claims 25 hours of phone calls, 17 hours of music, and 11 hours of HD video.

The quality of the music is normal, not bad and not good. Average or slightly above average for phones in this price range. Well, thanks to the high-quality headphones that come with the kit, you can listen to music without investing in additional accessories. Of course, someone will want better headphones, but for the vast majority of earplugs included in the kit will be enough. The volume of the external speaker is not up to par, but at a fairly good level. Subjectively, like other models of this manufacturer. Listening to music through an external speaker for a long time will not bring much pleasure, but it works well for a loud call.

The seller was not greedy and put in the box everything you need for the first time, and more. Package Included:

• phone itself
• power wire
• power adapter
• headphones
• OTG cable
• protective film for glass
• back wall cover

In general, the phone makes a fairly good impression. The advantages include an aluminum case, an AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels with a fairly good density, high performance and a huge battery. Well, to the minuses there is little noise when shooting indoors and some distortion of the screen colors when viewed at a large angle. Although, if you don't quibble, then these disadvantages can be attributed to the features of the screen technology and the relatively low cost of the phone itself. Although its cost is 21,000 rubles on the manufacturer's website. But in any case, for the money, the phone turned out to be quite good. Too bad it only comes in one color. At least for now.
