Explay Rio Characteristics Reviews. Explay Rio - Specifications
EXPLAY RIO package can be called standard. Besides instruction, cable for connecting to a PC and charger There is also a mediocre headset. There are no replaceable panels and covers to Explay Rio.
Dimensions - 3.9.
We compared the dimensions of the EXPLAY RIO smartphone with other five-lifted smartphones and can note that it is heavy enough for a model made of plastic - 172 grams. As for the thickness of the case, it is quite typical - less than 1 cm. One hand to control the smartphone is inconvenient.
The main material used in the Explay Rio phone is a pleasant matte plastic. The smartphone, in our opinion, looks pretty, and on the body almost the fingerprint remains. The quality of the assembly is normal, even good for such a price, and in appearance you might think that before you the device with price is more expensive than it really is.
Select Explay Rio You can buy the following colors: purple, white, black and orange.
Screen - 2.8.
Display diagonal - 5 inches, screen resolution - 854 × 480 points and, as a result, low pixel density per inch - 196, which is especially noticeable not small fonts. I would like to see the IPS matrix, but the for the lowest price is used TN-matrix. The screen has medium viewing angles and a low brightness level (321 cd / m2), without a stock on a sunny day or bright lighting around. The picture is fuzzy and frantic, like colors on the display. Despite the middle brightness, the display remains readable in sunny weather. There is also a brightness repulsion function, but it seems that it does not regulate anything: when the function is turned on, the brightness is muted, but further does not respond to changes in light. The display quality corresponds to a low smartphone price.
Camera
In the EXPLAY RIO smartphone, 2 MP camera with LED flash and without autofocus is installed. The camera interface is standard, but the settings are inconvenient and do not allow to increase the resolution of the photo from 1 megapixel shots to 2 megapixel with a resolution of 1600 × 1200 until you change the frame format (from 16: 9 to 4: 3) in a separate setting. Initially, the feeling that declared 2 megapixels is just a hoax. The maximum video resolution is also 1280 × 720, which is not bad. However, the recording speed is only 10 frames per second, instead of "standard" 30. But the sound is written in stereo mode. The device has a front camera, but it, in our opinion, is present only for a tick. The quality of the camera is low, it will only suit the most undegrade users.
Photo from the camera Explay Rio - 2.4
Working with text - 1.0
There is no own keyboard on the telephone Explay Rio, it is presetting the keyboard from Google. The decision can be said standard for similar brands. Also note the convenient and usual location of the keys, the ability to quickly dial the key to hold the key, but for some reason the gestures (SWYPE) input is not supported. The device has a poor dictionary in the keyboard: most Russian words he does not know, so if you are mistaken when you enter, it is unlikely that the keyboard will automatically correct the typo. In our opinion, this is the main drawback of the keyboard. But, thanks to the large display area, the texts are relatively conveniently recruited on Explay Rio, but because of the same size, it is not very convenient to do it with one hand.
Internet - 3.0
As in the case of the keyboard, the manufacturer did not replace the built-in browser on his own or reinstall some other browsers on the phone. There is nothing terrible in this, the standard Android browser is convenient and used, and quite fast. The browser supports the text of the text under the predetermined size, for this after increasing or decreasing text, you should double-click on the screen, and the text will automatically adjust. There is no separate read mode, but you can simply disable the download of graphics and images on the pages.
Interfaces
The Explay Rio smartphone includes the following interfaces: Wi-Fi (B / G / N) (Support for two-band Wi-Fi is certainly missing), Bluetooth and GPS. Surprised the lack of support 3G. With buttons and connectors, the standard case - the volume key on the left, power on the right, Micro-USB 2.0 connector and headset connector from above.
Multimedia - 4.2.
We tried to play various video files on the EXPLAY RIO smartphone. Smartphone supports almost all common formats and codecs. Player loses video in high quality, Including Full HD resolution. There is no selection of subtitles and audio tracks. The audio player in the smartphone loses only popular MP3 formats, AAC, WAV. However, if found through file manager Flac Format Track, then the smartphone loses it, but the Audio application does not find them. Formally, the EXPLAY RIO smartphone loses FLAC format tracks, but in such a form to listen to them are just inconvenient. In our opinion, using Explay Rio as a compact video player or audio player is not the best option.
Battery - 2.1.
In the phone Explay Rio installed removable lithium-ion battery With a capacity of 1800 mAh - a good capacity for such a modest price. Mid-level test results for a budget phone: when viewing HD video on the maximum brightness, the device is discharged for 3 and a half hours (for example, Galaxy S4 mini in 6 hours), when listening to music - for 36 hours (35 hours at Galaxy S4 Mini ). Cellular telephone Explay Rio fully charged 2.5-3 hours.
Performance - 1.5
Explay Rio uses a budget MEDIATEK MT6572 platform with two cores in the processor and a frequency of 1.3 GHz, the graphic subsystem - MALI-400 MP, the volume random access memory - 512 MB. As can be seen, the characteristics are very modest. The speed of work is not the strongest side of Explay Rio. In our tests, we periodically observed a resolution while scolding pages in the browser, but for calls and SMS more than enough. The use of such a chipset is due to the desire to establish a low final value of the smartphone. Download games at Explay Rio just nowhere, there is no place, and only the wrong games will be launched.
Memory - 2.5
The volume of the built-in memory in Explay Rio is 512 MB and this is not a joke. More precisely, this is a joke, but bad and from the manufacturer. That is, it can safely add the cost of a memory card to the smartphone. Memory card is not defined as inner memoryThe installation of large applications will turn into a headache, as you have to put the root and engage in memory recycling. After that, you can put some game that is even most likely to slow down.
Without a memory card, a smartphone is nowhere, for her, of course, there is a slot, the cards of up to 32 GB are supported. The possibility of hot memory card seem to eat, you need to remove the cover and insert a card, the battery does not interfere with doing this, and reboot the device does not have to. But the battery interferes from pulling out and replace the card, that is, it is for "replacement" the memory card will have to reboot.
Features
The main features of the EXPLAY RIO smartphone is a pleasant appearance with normal assembly, problems with tiny memory and lack of services from Google, including Play Market.-but. Play Market will have to download separately, climb to settings and allow installation third-party applications And install the store from the memory card. Considering the volume of 512 MB on the phone, it is possible to install will have to again on the same memory card. Together with the need to "rout" due to small memory, there are already many actions and unnecessary headaches, which is simply working with a smartphone. Otherwise, this is a typical Android with a slightly perverted icons of standard applications.
We have tried for a long time to find an adequate competitor Explay Rio in all respects, including at the price, but not found. Similar from a functional point of view, smartphones are noticeably more expensive, and similar in price - Rio is significantly losing significantly.
The only suitable competitor QUMO QUEST 500- Smartphone is relatively old: it is too big, heavy, has an outdated version of the Bluetooth module and previous version Android.
Appearance
Usually, cheap smartphones Present dull black bricks from cheap plastic. But Explay Rio is not like that.
He and bright and for its price, the smartphone is perhaps even too well assembled - no backlash and crunches, chatting buttons, quickly scratching or sealing plastic.
A smartphone with a white back cover and ends arrived at the test to us, but other bright colors are available: orange, purple, well, and classic black is also available.
Under the screen there are three touch buttons to control the Android OS interface (in addition to touchscreen): Menu, home and back.
On the upper end - the connector for connecting headphones and Micro-USB to charge and synchronize with a computer. When connected to a computer, Explay Rio allows access to the memory card as a removable disk.
On the left end there is a loudness rachine.
On the right - the on / lock screen button. Press it, using the smartphone conveniently, stretch your fingers do not need.
And in general, the smartphone lies in his hand as a blade, discomfort does not create.
The battery is removable here, access to SIM card slots and micro-SD can be obtained only by removing it.
Screen
Explay Rio is equipped with a 5-inch TFT-screen with a resolution of 854x480 pixels supporting multitouch (up to 2 clicks at the same time). Yes, it is not HD, but in reality the sharp image is sufficient. With the reserve of brightness, there are also no special problems - some are much more dear smartphones With brightness everything is much worse.
Software and interface
The smartphone is running the Android 4.2 operating system with a standard interface, but with perverted icons. As a pre-installed software, there is a complete set of applications from Yandex, including the Yandex.Store Store. In this regard, the standard for Android Google Play. Market is initially absent, but it can be downloaded from the Internet and set - thus gain access to two application stores, although in Yandex.Store you can find everything you need: customers of social networks, im-messengers, games.

List of Applications
In addition to Yandex applications, the manufacturer preinstalled the file manager (to manage files on the SD card), several game stores (Ea Store and Games & Soft) and "Flashlight" - a simple application that includes a LED flash. Here, by the way, you can send a SOS signal. We hope you will not be useful to you, but suddenly.
Since the smartphone supports two SIM cards, you can manage their behavior in the settings menu: assign the basic SIM card for various actions (voice calls, send SMS / MMS, mobile Internet). Instead of specifying a specific SIM card in each case, you can choose the option "Request" - and then when this action is performed, the smartphone will ask you what kind of sim card.
For each SIM card, you can assign your name (default - the name of the operator), set the color (default - blue and orange for the first and second SIM card, respectively).
By the way, in Explay Rio, the MINI-SIM format slots (or "ordinary" sim card are used, but if you have Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM - it is not necessary to change it, it is enough to use an adapter (in communication salons a set of adapters usually 150-200 rubles Sold).
Explay Rio also has an adjustment of sound profiles. As a rule, modern smartphones use only three profiles: ordinary, vibration and silent, but some users who are accustomed to the old "diacks" need more. It is possible to configure so many profiles as you need.
And another pleasant feature that came from "old-kind" times - automatic shutdown and inclusion of a smartphone on a schedule. Of course, on the night you can simply turn off the sound, but after all, and with the sound off the sound, the smartphone spends the battery and mobile traffic. By the way, it is also able to automatically turn on the configured EXPLAY Rio alarm.
Otherwise, everything is here in any normal smartphone: the Internet, GPS, games, and all that.
Performance
What is the smartphone for 3,800 rubles? In fact, on a lot. The only functional limitation in it is a small amount of built-in memory, so, without an SD card, of course, do not do. Well, you have to not forget to carry installed applications on this card. Otherwise, the 2-core processor MTK6572 and the MALI-400MP graphics will allow you to even run some modern games. By the way, Mali-400mp still a couple of years ago stood exclusively in flagship smartphones, some of which are still popular.
Ashpalt 8: Challenges, but you can play
We tested Explay Rio Benchmark Antutu Benchmark, and he said: "Good."
Of course, cosmic performance from so affordable smartphone Wait and not worth it. But for everyday work, social networks, browsing online pages and even films is quite enough. We specifically checked the playback of HD films on Explay Rio - no problems, even with MKV format. But, repeat, the memory card is required (the smartphone supports Micro-SD cards with a volume of up to 32 GB).
The main thing is that the interface does not lag here as on most cheap smartphones.
Camera
A simple 2-megapixel camera Explay Rio will prepare snapshots for Instagram, other social networks, as well as for a list of contacts.
Gallery of shots.
When you click on the thumbnail, a full-sized image will open
If you want photoshide - it is better to buy or a smartphone for 20-30 thousand, or a camera.
Battery
The accumulator of 1800 mAh smartphone Explay RiO is enough for a couple of days of active work, up to 3 days in the "Ring" mode, or 8-9 hours of video playback. In general, it is not necessary to complain about autonomy. So Antutu Tester put the 532 points smartphone - the digit is higher than the average. Another reason is not to take the very most sophisticated devices - they are usually discharged much faster, even if they are just lying in your pocket.
TOTAL
Explay Rio is the most accessible 5-inch smartphone on the market. At the same time, the qualitatively assembled, pretty smart, and with the support of two SIM cards. It is not necessary to complain about his telephone functions: the connection is stable, the transfer of voices does not cause complaints, well, the external speaker is very loud, it is difficult to skip the call.
Thus, Explay Rio is a two-minute phone that stands as an ordinary two-minute phone, but it is also a smartphone with a 5-inch screen.
It's time to increase the display
New budget smartphone from russian company Explay - Rio has a large five-fashioned TFT display, which is an indisputable advantage of a smartphone with RRTs only 3790 rubles.
