Appearance
If you talk about the appearance of Explay Pulsar, user reviews pay attention to its massive and rude. It is really difficult to call it elegant. The mobile device has a powerful battery, so its thickness is 12 mm. The design resembles the previous models of budget smartphones from the company Explay, and it can be compared with other smartphones in this price category. The case is made of plastic, the corners of the device are slightly rounded, the five-inch screen is completely covered with glass, the back cover is removable, its surface is corrugated, there is a thin frame on each side. On the front top panel there is a front camera, a light indicator and a voice speaker. Touch function keys are usually located at the bottom of the display. On the right side face we can see the power button, and on the left side - the volume control. On the rear panel on the center there is a camera, which is slightly out of the whole surface, it is edged with silvery metal. Nearby you can see a flash and an external speaker. On the top edge of the mobile device there is a headphone input and a connector for connecting a memory card. The speaker is located on the lower end panel. The back cover of the smartphone is made of dark plastic, it is invisible dirt and fingerprints. The body of the mobile device in the hand slides a little. Therefore, the owners of the "Exxle Pulsar" reviews often begin their feedback with the recommendation to keep the communicator stronger so that it does not "jump out" of the hands. Particular attention during work is drawn to the side panels, because they slide much more than the back cover. As for the ergonomics of the "Exxle Pulsar", user reviews suggest that not everyone can quickly get used to the non-standard layout of the screen and volume locking keys, but in general it is convenient and comfortable to work on the smartphone. The adjustment button performs photography functions. Its reverse arrangement will be very handy when operating with one hand. The assembly of the case is very high-quality, during the pressure on the surface the smartphone does not creak, there are no deformations and backlashes. The back cover is removed and snaps back easily, and the speaker during a conversation can not be casually covered with a hand.
Screen
If we talk about the display of "Expiles Pulsar": its characteristics are: IPS technology, the resolution is - 480x864 pixels. Of the minuses, you can immediately note the low viewing angles, even with a slight tilt of the mobile device, the image seems to flow around the screen, and the colors are distorted. Information about the protective properties of glass is absent. As well as oleophobic coating. Most likely, the display does not additionally have protection against mechanical damage. The touch screen supports up to five simultaneous touches, but the sensitivity leaves much to be desired. When working indoors or outdoors on a cloudy day, colors are different in their saturation and brightness, but you just have to start working in bright sunlight, as the picture instantly fades. The device has a brightness adjustment setting. The display at the smartphone is average in quality, but for daily work it is quite enough.
Software

The mobile device has 512 MB of RAM and a built-in 4 GB, and the smartphone also has a graphics amplifier. Performance gadget can not boast of its power, because its filling is very mediocre. The smartphone reacts late to the touch, but in general there were no global hangs and departures of the system. The mobile device plays high quality video in HD quality, and given its five-inch screen, it is possible to watch movies or TV shows on it. The only drawback is the above-mentioned viewing angles, color rendering in bright light and a small screen resolution. When turning pages on the Internet and scaling, there are minor delays. The smartphone is not intended for serious games. But its performance is not so low. With some games, the gadget handles perfectly, only with heavy applications there is a noticeable backlog and a long load. The external speaker sounds loud enough and qualitatively, even at small rates.
Shooting
The mobile device has a camera - 5 megapixel and frontal - 0.3 megapixels. The main one is equipped with a flash, which is useful in case of poor shooting conditions. The camera application can not please with its functionality. With regard to this aspect of the work of "Exxle Pulsar", user feedback confirms that during operation the system often crashes, hangs, and to fix this, it is necessary to restart the smartphone. The resulting photos are not clear, they are noises, blur and lack of detail. Especially this defect is manifested when shooting at dusk or in a room with poor lighting. At night to take pictures and is not recommended at all because of the terrible quality of the photos. In daylight, the images are of sufficient quality, but sometimes there may be some blue in the image. The mobile device has a pan function, but there is no macro shooting. The smartphone can also record video, which is played in 3 GP format. If the video is of good quality, then with the sound there may be problems, because the speech is almost indistinguishable.
Autonomy
The smartphone allows you to work immediately with two SIM cards, one of them is normal, and the second one supports only the micro format. The mobile device has a function to work with wireless networks, which are always well supported. The smartphone can be used as a navigator, because the battery can withstand a long time without recharging. The battery contains 4000 mAh, it affects its ability to hold a charge.
