Battery capacity and capacity, 4000 mAh - such batteries are rarely found even in tablet computers.

Appearance

ZTE Blade A610 pleases the quality of manufacture. Smartphone is felt monolithic. Lufts and screens are missing. The capacious battery makes ZTE Blade A610 is sufficiently heavy.

Screen

The ZTE Blade A610 has a five-seaman display, manufactured using IPS technology. Screen resolution 1280x720 (HD). For protection, it is covered with 2,5d-glass. The color rendition from the display is good, shades natural and saturated, set up the picture in Miravision.

The automatic adjustment of the brightness is, but it works not always correctly, the point is the dimming screen. Display sensor sensor, and it easily recognizes five simultaneous touchs.

Cameras

ZTE BLADE A610 camera is not bad. The 13-megapixas main camera is equipped with an automatic focus and flash. Focusing on the desired camera object quickly. With bad lighting, automation is often mistaken. However, the photo quality corresponds to the pricing category of the smartphone. Snapshots go worthy, but not impressive.

Permission of the front camera - 5 megapixels. The camera allows you to communicate with Skype and make decent self.

RESULTS

Excellent device with a clear screen and capacious battery. This apparatus can be called perfectly balanced, it does not have critical flaws, but there is nothing outstanding, except the battery tank. ZTE Blade A610 is a solid middling, and his price is appropriate. Buy ZTE Blade A610 is 180 US dollars.

Today I got to review budget smartphone ZTE Blade A610 with a large battery, metal in the housing and good characteristics.

The main characteristics of the device will be presented as a table

Packaging and configuration of the device

Smartphone comes in a small white box. The front side does not bear any information except the name of the device depicted in gold color. It looks quite solid.

The reverse side does not provide the buyer any technical information. Only QR code and emblem of the company.

The bath in which the smartphone is lying, the remaining elements of the delivery set are located behind it.

Complete with smartphone, the buyer will receive a rather modest list of accessories:

• charger issuing 1500 mA;
• cable for charging and passing to a PC;
• OTG adapter;
• warranty card and documentation;
• clip for seizures of SIM tray.

All accessories are made in white, pleasant to the touch and work without complaints. Using a OTG adapter, you can use a smartphone as PowerBank.

Appearance and Ergonomics of the device

The appearance of the ZTE Blade A610 is one of the strengths of the smartphone. It looks much more expensive than it really is. First of all, it is the merit of glass, which is raised above the smartphone frame with a white plastic insert. This creates a feeling of the so-called 2,5d glass. Roundings around the edges are also there, but they barely noticeable. In addition, in the off state it seems that the screens sides are minimal frames.

In the device's piggy bank, you can add a really high-quality oleophobic display. It is almost impossible to sleep with fingers. The glass display is protected, scratches to put on it difficult. During the use of the device without covers and films, no scratches or scratches appeared on it.

The frame of the smartphone is made of plastic painted under metal. It is quite difficult to understand this, it gives only the absence of pleasant coolness in the hands. But the rear non-removable metal cover, while the upper and lower insertion of the rear cover are made of plastic with a pleasant small texture.

Thanks to the rounded rear panel and a small thickness, the device is very well lying in the hand and does not try to slip out. Use the smartphone with one hand is quite convenient. The body is assembled quite efficient and reliably, the creaks and the backlats are practically no, although the rear metal cover sometimes makes small sounds when the device is squeezed from both sides.

On the front panel above the screen there is a conversational speaker, a little left of him front-camera and sensors of approximation and lighting. It would be possible to think that the Chinese did not add the notification indicator into the budget device, but it is just well hidden. Next to the sensors directly on a white screen substrate, in case of receipt of the notification or when charging the device, an indication appears. It looks interesting. It is impossible to change it, only red and green colors are available depending on the event.

The display contains three touchpoints, which are used according to the standard principle for returning back, the home button and call the application menu. In the settings, you can change the destination of the extreme keys. To these brand buttons I had big questions.

First, they do not have illumination, secondly, points are not informative enough and I often missed them enough. And most importantly, the opening application menu call for me turned into a real nightmare. The branded membrane from ZTE assumes a call to the application menu for a long press on the corresponding button. While a short press causes menu and wallpaper. For the week of use, I did not adapt to calling the application menu, the button did not want to work correctly and constantly gave me a pop-up menu of themes and effects. You sometimes managed to call the open apps menu only from the fifth, and then the tenth times. I can not say what the reason for my inconvenience lies, or this feature of the specifically of my sample, or there is an insufficient experience of communication with chinese devices With their corporate shells.

The connectors and buttons on the housing are standard: on the bottom there is a Micro-USB connector and a microphone, on top exactly in the middle there is a 3.5 mm port for connecting headphones. The left edge of the smartphone has a nest with a tray in which you can download either two nano SIM-Cardsor one SIM card and MircOSD memory card. On the right face there is a button on and a volume adjustment rocker. They are located pretty close to each other, therefore require addiction. The key is clear enough.

On the back side, the ZTE logo is applied on the central metal cover, there is a musical speaker on the bottom plastic insert. On the top inset in the left corner there is an eye of the main chamber, which is slightly recessed into the metal frame to protect against mechanical damage. Near the camera there is a LED flash. The case of the device is unbearable.

Display

The manufacturer has installed a five-inch display in the smartphone by a resolution of 1280 x 720 points. The quality of the matrix is \u200b\u200bnot very bad, the pixel density of 300 dpi is enough to not notice individual pixels. Both when working with texts, and when watching the video, there is no feeling that you use the budget smartphone.

Detailing at a good level, the viewing angles are almost maximum. The color rendition is not outdated, images and photos are obtained by real colors. When the slope in any direction is no change in colors, and only a bit of the image brightness changes. The black color is deep, but the white gives a little in blue, which is tired of the eyes.

At the same time, the screen perceives up to five touches. The maximum brightness is sufficient, on a sunny day information on the screen readable, but the level of minimum brightness seemed too high to me. In the dark, working with texts or sites on a white background is tiring.

In addition, there are questions to automatic adjustment Brightness. When you remove it to at least and use the smartphone in the dark, during the scrolling of pages or when you click on the screen, the screen brightness is flicker. It strongly strains the eyes, because it is better to turn off the autowarity in the dark and adjust it manually.

Device performance

The smartphone was equipped well known for the budget segment by a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor. The Arm Cortex-A53 kernels operate at frequencies to 1.3 GHz. The graphics core MALI-T720, which works with a frequency of 600 MHz. The system operates on a 28-nanometer technical process. RAM 2 gigabytes, the lack of it was not felt in the process of using the gadget.

Synthetic tests show that this is a standard device in its class. In Antutu Benchmark, the device gave a little more than 32 thousand points. Heating during the load of the smartphone was practically not observed.

Otherwise animation as operating system, as third-party applications It works quite quickly. No problem with viewing video in 1080p, nor with web surfing, nor in working with social networks did not arise. Enjoy the device nice even after flagship devices.

However, you should not count that you can play on the smartphone without restrictions. Simple games like SUBWAY SURFERS and Racing Arcade Traffic Racer The device digested perfectly. But the modern heavy games do not build. In general, this is a pretty smart apparatus, absolutely not straining thoughtful in everyday use.

Software

Smartphone running running google systems Android 6.0 with Mifacor UI branded shell. It does not significantly change the stock system, from the main one can mark the lack of the application menu: all loaded programs are distributed across the tables. Also recycled icons and some smartphone settings.

The view of the icons, as for me, is not serious and looks like in Chinese. In addition, there is a number of pre-installed third-party applications that, however, can be removed without getting root rights.

In general, this is an ordinary Android OS without any surprises. The shell does not overload the smartphone, all actions are performed quickly at any load. Application departures were not observed.

Sound and multimedia

The sound from the musical dynamics is quite loud. Putting a smartphone in a bag, you definitely do not miss an important call. Spoken speaker is not very loud, but at the same time quality. No wheezing and extraneous sounds are noticed, but twisting the volume during a conversation for the whole, he is already hard to cope with the speech, distortion begins.

Sound in headphones surprised. For its price range, the device reproduces music very thumbs. Of course, to the smartphones of the flagship level far, but listen to music on the way to study or work can be happy. When listening to dance compositions or rock becomes noticeable low frequencies And the purity of the sound.

Microphone in the device one on the bottom face. During conversations, the interlocutors did not express discontent about hearing. The vibrations of the middle force, but the system is configured so that all notifications and keyboard pressing are given to the unusual long vibration. You need to get used to it.

The opening of the gallery occurs smoothly, there are no delays when turning photos. Video playback up to FullHD to pass without any problems. Quality of speech and high-level images. YouTube works without complaints, all functions and settings in the application are available.

Communication and wireless interfaces

The device has two slots for Nano SIM-cards. The radio module in the smartphone is only one, because when talking on one of the SIM cards, the second - will be out of the access zone. Switching between maps is very convenient, in advance in the menu, you should configure the functions that will be naked on one or another card, be it voice calls, SMS messages or mobile Internet.

Smartphone can work in all available mobile networks, Including LTE. There were no problems with receiving loss or low signal level.

Wireless interfaces are also standard, there are Wi-Fi and the usual Bluetooth 4.0. There is a location system on maps, it is used to determine both GPS and GLONASS. The device works great in the form of a navigator, quickly catches satellites, updates road conditions.

Camera

The main camera in the ZTE Blade A610 is represented by a module on 13 megapixels. The application interface is completely standard, some specifications and features about the chamber does not declare.

During the daytime, with bright lighting, the frames are fine enough, autofocus works fine. Macro drive works even without inclusion of special modes.

In dark rooms, the quality of the pictures is sharply reduced, and at night it is better not even to get a smartphone. Frames do not work at all.

The built-in flash also does not save the situation, it is very dull and only closers harder and so bad image. Text files are practically indistinguishable when photographing even from a short distance.

The quality of video frames is average. Video filming is useful only in emergency casesWhen you need to capture the number of the car or some information.

The front camera works smoothly, the photos are pretty. But only with sufficient lighting.

Memory and autonomous work

The manufacturer posted a 16 gigabyte memory module into the device. Of these, about 12 GB users are available. It can be expanded by a microSD format memory capacity up to 32 GB. However, in this case, you will have content with only one SIM card, since the tray is combined.

The second, after the design, the indisputable advantage of the device is accumulator battery by 4,000 mAh. And this is with such compact sizes and a small thickness of the smartphone. The device is charged with a complete power adapter for about three hours.

According to the results of the use of the smartphone, autonomy was very pleased. With daily use of the battery charge, it is enough for two days. If you really load a smartphone, then in the evening there are about 30-40% of the charge.

RESULTS

ZTE Blade A610 turned out to be a fairly strong budget device. During testing, I had a feeling that this is a high-end model. The advantages of the smartphone can be attributed to a really excellent design, good ergonomics, a high-quality screen with a oleophobic coating. In addition, even after flagship devices, I had enough speed of interface and applications. Well, a battery for 4000 mAh a very serious argument in a dispute with competitors.

Of the minuses, you can mark a very mediocrous main chamber. The second negative point is the lack of highlighting the touch keys under the screen and their incorrect work (it is quite possible, this is a feature of my test device).

Thanks for the test device provided online store

Which runs under Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. The device can be found to the line of models with long work time from one charge. The device is advantageously highlighted by a capacious battery, support for USB OTG technology and an exclusive price on which it is sold in our online store.
