Mobile phone Fly FF301: specifications and reviews

In an era of sophisticated and sophisticated gadgets, their buttons still do not lose their relevance. Model Fly FF301 is designed for people who are important in a mobile device, primarily, calls, and then everything else. Such requirements are fully met by this device: nice design, comfortable keys, minimal functionality and, most importantly, low and affordable price make it very attractive for undemanding users.

Equipment

In the box with the device, in addition to the device itself, a headset is supplied, which is also an antenna to the FM-receiver installed in the gadget. Here are the other accessories that the Fly FF301 contains: an instruction manual, a certificate and a charger.

Appearance

The case of the device is made of plastic and has a strict and attractive look. The user will be able to choose one of two color options: black or white. Assembly Fly FF301 is made very high quality, the design does not lyuftit and does not loosen, it is also worth noting the minimum clearances.

On the front panel there is a display, a speaker for conversations and keys. But the buttons are big enough, so the risk of making mistakes when typing is minimal. Sufficiently convenient were the navigation joystick and the keys responsible for the main control.

On the back of the device is a camera, flash, also playing the role of a flashlight, and a music speaker. There are no side keys in the gadget.

The top of the device is empty like sidewalls, the bottom is a micro-USB jack, a microphone and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

The overall dimensions of the device are 56.8x129x11.8 mm, weight is 104g. The cell phone Fly FF301 comfortably lies in the hand and does not slip, and there are no fingerprints on the matte surface of the case.

Screen

The size of the TFT-display Fly FF301 - 3 inches, resolution -240x320 pixels. With so many pixels, you should not expect any miracles in terms of color rendering. The settings allow you to adjust the backlight level - this is useful when the brightness needs to be reduced to extend the battery life.

The viewing angles turned out to be very bad: when looking at the screen from the side, it's almost impossible to disassemble the contents. The colors are very pale and inconspicuous, so enjoy the video or picture in full will not succeed.

As for the proportions of the screen, for such a phone they are chosen almost perfectly. The display looks rather large, it contains a large amount of information. This will be a plus when browsing the Internet pages or any document.

Fly FF301: specifications and technical features

Since the mobile phone Fly FF301 is not specially designed for any outside tasks, except for calls and SMS messages, the processor here is also very modest: its clock frequency is only 312 MHz. However, traveling through the menu items and using these or other standard options is simple and convenient: the system does not brake or hang. The processor smartly processes photos taken by the camera. If the user still decides to get out with this device on the Internet, he will have problems with downloading heavy resource-intensive web pages.

As for the memory for data storage, by default the device has only 32 MB installed. With this hard drive, you can not even make a photo with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. The memory card, the connector for which is located inside the phone under the battery, will help to correct the situation. The gadget is able to recognize flash drives up to 32 GB. For data transfer, the phone Fly FF301 has Bluetooth.

A nice feature is the ability to connect two SIM cards at once. Their connectors are next to the memory card slot. This will make it possible to use the phone for communication even more efficiently by setting, say, two cards of different operators or different tariffs.

Camera

The quality of optics is especially hard to calculate: what is 1.3 Mp in our time? If the developers gave the device autofocus, then in the street with good lighting it would be possible to do not the worst shots, but due to its lack of image quality looks terrible. Tolerant only portraits and panoramas go out, and then only for viewing on a small screen.

The flash will fit, rather, as a flashlight, since this LED is unable to properly illuminate the territory on which the survey is being conducted. The image is always dark and substandard, so if you really want to take photos with this camera, it's best to do it in the open air on a clear, sunny day.

Also, the phone is able to shoot video clips with a resolution of 320x240, but their quality obviously leaves much to be desired.

Among other camera functions there are brightness, contrast and various filters: black and white, sepia and others.

Sound

Fly FF301 is able to boast a very loud and clear speaker. Due to this, to miss an important call or to sleep at work without hearing the alarm clock is almost impossible. The audio system functions soundly and produces quite decent sound quality for a budget category device.

The audio player plays MP3, but for downloading tracks the user needs to purchase a memory card, which, unfortunately, is not included in the kit. The music that is played through the headset has a standard sound.

For fans of spending time, enjoying the radio stations, the developers have installed an FM-receiver. An antenna for it is a headset, so without its connection, activation of the radio is impossible.

Apps

A set of preinstalled applications is very meager: we only have a calculator, a flashlight and a converter. The flash, although unsuitable for illuminating images, does a good job of playing the role of a flashlight that can illuminate a small area. So in those cases when it is necessary to find the keys to the apartment in the bag, being in a dark entrance, you can count on the phone.

In the "Services" section there is an option to access the Internet. It is not possible to get full access to the worldwide network on such an apparatus, but it is quite possible to scan some simple pages that do not require a lot of system resources.

Mobile phone Fly FF301 black has three alarms for which you can set melodies yourself, there is also a timer, world time and other unimportant options.

Battery

One of the most powerful aspects of the gadget is a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1450 mAh. In talk mode, it can work up to 5 hours, and in standby mode - up to 400 hours. Music lovers will be pleased with the fact that it is possible to listen to songs on the player for up to 35 hours without additional charging. A modest screen "eats" the battery very slowly, so it is very unlikely that at the most unexpected moment you will end up with a zero charge.

Price of the model and firmware

The average cost of the phone starts from 1990 and comes to about 2390 rubles. If there were any problems with the system of the device (it began to work unstable, buggy, or the device completely refused) - then in special workshops the firmware for Fly FF301 will cost about 1000 rubles. Time of work in each service depends on the degree of employment of specialists. Another question: is it reasonable to pay almost half of the cost of a new device for the firmware? After all, it's not a fact that after it the phone will work like a new one. In such cases, the easiest way is to purchase another device.

Conclusion

Another budget device with modest characteristics. Of the advantages is an attractive design, high-quality assembly, a capacious battery, a low price, a loud speaker and the ability to work with two SIM cards at once. The shortcomings include a frankly weak camera, a faded screen with poor viewing angles, a low resolution and a negligible amount of the device's "native" memory, which is why, in addition to the device, the user is forced to immediately purchase a memory card.

Fly FF301: customer reviews

Almost all users praise the body of the device: consider it quite attractive, thin and comfortable. There are no complaints about the design of the device.

As for the screen, the opinions are ambiguous: some believe that the display is quite tolerable for such money, others scold small low-quality font and bad viewing angles.

The sound of the device impressed many owners. Users admit that they did not expect such a high-quality dynamics from the budget category model. Also there is a good conversational speaker: it does not wheeze and gives out a loud sound, therefore the interlocutor is audible clearly and clearly.

The lack of T9 and support for Java confused some customers, but if they think this is a disadvantage, then a small one.

The camera is criticized by almost everyone. Pixels are not enough to make a snapshot, in addition, the poor quality of the photo is due to the lack of autofocus. However, there are those who believe that for 2000 rubles from the camera, there is no need to wait for more, and it does not make sense to attribute it to a clear defect.

Many are happy with a set of pre-installed applications that allow you to cope with the simplest tasks. Browser owners seemed too slow. In some cases, the alarm clock worked incorrectly: in some cases it rings, in others it does not.

The users of the model unanimously consider the life of the battery as undeniable. Radio and the player can be listened to continuously, without fear of losing the charge at the most inopportune moment. In standby mode, the phone also lives up to 400 hours.

Users praise the opportunity to work immediately with two SIM-cards. Some rearrange cards from two old phones in this model and claim that making calls is much easier and more convenient.

There is a good interaction of the phone with the PC: it is connected quickly, the data is transmitted without problems, - Bluetooth also works properly.

There were also those owners who do not like souls in Fly FF301. Their reviews say that the price-quality criterion not only justified itself, but exceeded all expectations. The sum of the phone suits, the required set of functions is present, the battery lives a long time, the speaker is loud - what else do you need from an ordinary dialer?

Owners advise buying a phone immediately take up a protective film for the screen, as it is heavily scratched and marks remain very noticeable. And as for the case, the matte surface practically excludes the visibility of fingerprints and it does not scratch badly.

Criticize the small capacity of the phone card: only 100 numbers, to each of which it will be possible to bind only one number. In addition, users are confused by the lack of the MMS function.
