The phone Highscreen Omega Prime S, as many experts note, belongs to the category of original "multicolored" solutions promoted to the market by the Russian brand "Vobis". This model, according to IT analysts, is the successor of another "variegated" smartphone - Omega Prime Mini. How effective and technological did the novelty turn out? What are its main competitive advantages over analogues?

Main technical characteristics

Consider the main characteristics of the smartphone Highscreen Omega Prime S. The device is capable of supporting 2 SIM-cards in the "micro" format. The chipset on which the device works is Snapdragon model MSM8212, equipped with 4 cores. The processor runs at 1.2 GHz. The display diagonal is 4.7 inches. The smartphone is controlled by the Android OS in version 4.4.2. The device is equipped, as well as other devices of this type, with two cameras - the main one (with a resolution of 8 megapixels) and an additional one, its resource is 2 MP. The amount of RAM in Highscreen Omega Prime S is 1 GB, disks (without external cards) are 8 GB. The supported amount of additional flash memory is 32 GB. The device supports Bluetooth in the 3rd version. The battery has a resource of 1750 mAh.

In the factory package, the user will find the device itself, a headset (regular, wired), a power supply, a USB cable, and four spare rear panels. All - different colors. There is, for example, black, with the help of which the phone can be turned into a kind of modification of Highscreen Omega Prime S Black. There are white, and also red and yellow. Above we have already noted the fact that "multicolour" is one of the main attributes of Highscreen Omega Prime S. The operating manual for the factory set of the device is also attached. As well as the warranty card.

Design, management

As evidenced by the highscreen Omega Prime S users left on thematic portals, the phone has a very ordinary, but at the same time pretty design. Multicolored sockets look, according to the owners of the smartphone, quite worthy. Many note the grace of a slim body - 6.9 mm (for comparison: the previous model - Mini, this figure was 7.8 mm). There are also lightness and small dimensions of the device, which predetermine the comfort in its wearing.

The supplied colored pads are marked as completely unreceptive to fingerprints, yet pleasant to the touch, not slipping. The design of the front panel of the smartphone includes an elegant plastic edging. The display of the device is reliably protected by a layer of strong polymeric material. The highscreen Omega Prime S user reviews left by the users include exceptionally positive estimates of the quality of the smartphone's build. There are no backlashes, creaks, gaps.

On the front of the device - an additional camera, next to - sensors of lighting and motion (approximation), as well as a voice speaker. Directly under the screen is the "Home" button, it has a round shape. To the right and to the left of it - the "Return" and "Menu" keys. On the left side of the case is the volume control key. On the right side - similar, but only it is responsible for power-up. The microphone is at the bottom of the case. At the top - an audio connector, as well as a slot for connecting via microUSB. Behind - the main camera with flash.

If you remove the back cover, you can see two SIM card slots. At simultaneous connection at least one of them will work in 2G-communication mode. Near the SIM card slots is a connector for connecting an additional microSD memory card. The phone's assembly features allow you to insert additional memory modules and change SIM cards without turning off the device's power.

The design, as well as the main components of the device management, are highly appreciated by experts and users in general. Removable panels are easy to insert and replace. No gaps and backlashes on the fact of installing new ones are observed.

Screen

As we said above, the display diagonal is 4.7 inches, this is a fairly average figure. But, as evidenced by the comments left by the owners of Highscreen Omega Prime S reviews, the screen size is quite optimal. From the standpoint of design, the display looks elegantly on the background of the dark color of the front panel, they can be said to merge into a single element. The screen resolution is quite high for the specified diagonal - 720 by 128 pixels. The density of points is also decent - 312 points per inch. At this rate, pixelization is almost invisible.

Smartphone Highscreen Omega Prime S is equipped with a display with high-tech matrix technology IPS, its quality is estimated by experts as high. When viewing the screen at an angle, the image quality remains almost unchanged. There is support for "multitouch" (up to 5 touches), the sensitivity of the sensor is estimated by experts as excellent. You can manually adjust the brightness of the display backlight.

Battery

The battery in the smartphone has a capacity of 1750 mAh. This is slightly more than in the Mini model, technologically preceding the Highscreen Omega Prime S. The characteristics of the device are not quite optimal for the battery, as some experts have noted. In particular, the chipset installed in the device is quite energy-intensive.

Tests conducted by experts showed that even when using the phone for 6-7 hours the battery can be discharged. Within this period, you can have time to talk about half an hour, about 120 minutes to use the Internet. However, the smartphone perfectly withstands the test in the form of playing music.

If you use the device only in the player mode, then the battery lasts about 30 hours. Some experts who made the review of the Highscreen Omega Prime S capabilities review showed a record of 40 hours of battery life when playing music (albeit with the display turned off). If you watch only movies with the maximum brightness settings, high resolution and loud sound, the battery life will be about 2 hours. If you run on demanding 3D games on your smartphone, the battery can sit down after about 1.5 hours. Users who left reviews on the fact of testing Highscreen Omega Prime S reviews, in general, achieved similar results in the study of the battery performance of the device.

Some experts believe that insufficiently long autonomy of work can also be connected with a relatively large display and the corresponding resolution, as well as brightness and high contrast of the screen. In many similar devices, a higher level of autonomy, as experts say, is largely achieved by equipping devaysov with less quality, sometimes technologically obsolete displays. The Russian brand "Vobis" chose a different path, deciding not to save on the screens. And this, as many IT specialists believe, is the right decision.

Connectivity

The smartphone can work in 2G and 3G networks (but with simultaneous connection of two SIM cards - only in the first mode). There is support for basic wireless communication standards - Bluetoot, Wi-Fi. You can use the device as a modem or Wi-FI router.

The quality of voice GSM-communication, mobile Internet with the appropriate signal level in the coverage area of the mobile operator is excellent. The work of wireless modules is characterized by experts and users from the positive side - Wi-Fi-connection is not interrupted, the connection is established quickly.

There is support for GPS - the quality of the functioning of the corresponding module is estimated by experts as excellent. Many users also expressed a pleasant surprise with this fact - usually smartphones do not have enough quality support for GPS communications. The device easily finds several satellites at once and establishes communication with them.

Memory resources

The phone Highscreen Omega Prime S is equipped, as we have already noted, 1 GB of RAM. Of these, about 500 MB are actually available. The amount of built-in flash memory is 8 GB, actually available - about 3.9 GB for files and about 2 for programs. It is possible to increase the amount of memory due to additional modules in the microSD format. The device recognizes inserted cards without any problems.

Cameras

Like many other devices of this class, this smartphone is equipped with two cameras - the main and front. The first has a resolution of 8 megapixels, the second - in 2. Made with the help of Highscreen Omega Prime S photos and video - of decent quality. Some experts and users consider the quality of multimedia content created by the smartphone to be mediocre. However, as their opponents note, it is necessary to look not so much at the actual result shown by a concrete device, as on its class. And therefore, if we compare, then with analogues. And in this respect, the smartphone looks quite competitive.

Rollers from the camera can be recorded at a speed of 25 frames / second. The video is recorded in a 3GP format file, recognized on most other mobile devices, as well as on a computer. The audio codec records the stream as 96 kbps, and uses a single-channel 16 kHz audio format. The main camera is equipped with autofocus and flash. From the point of view of hardware functionality, all the declared options work qualitatively.

Performance

The smartphone chipset, as we have already said, is Snapdragon type MSM8212. The processor, which is equipped with a device - high-performance Cortex-A7 with four cores, made using 28 nm technology. The operating frequency of the microcircuit is 1.2 GHz. The video accelerator is of the Adreno 302 type. The work in the programming interface goes without failures, nothing hangs even during operations that imply a high load on the processor and memory.

Modern games as a whole are loaded also without significant braking. However, as some experts note, the quality of graphics is not the most ideal - the detailing of the picture is not too high. Experts especially note the fact that the device is not subject to heat when the processor is very busy. Performance tests of the device, conducted by experts with the help of applications such as Antutu and others like it, showed decent results.

However, video subsystem tests - such as 3DMark - showed very modest results. In principle, this correlates with the above mentioned fact about the low quality of game graphics. However, the chipset's performance is in doubt, experts believe, not subject to. Snapdragon, as is known, is also used by the world's leading manufacturers of smartphones, including those sold in more expensive segments.

Software

Installed on the Highscreen Omega Prime S firmware - Android OS version 4.2.2. Branded add-ins in the OS are practically absent. Before us - Andriod in its pure form. Among the useful preinstalled programs - a media player and an interface for listening to radio programs.

Experts and users noted the convenience of using relevant applications, as well as high sound quality. There is support for music files in MP3 and FLAC-formats. There is also a pre-installed video player, as well as an application for viewing photos. The device can play video clips of types MP3, 3GP, and also MKV. When working with web pages, there are also no hang-ups or failures.

A regular browser (probably as well as those that can be installed additionally - modern developers of the corresponding programs have long created mobile versions of their products) works perfectly - both "heavy" pages and video are loaded, including in the mode with a large number of bookmarks.

You can download additional programs for the device in the Google Play app store, on a similar resource from Yandex and other aggregators. Soft for Android, as you know, almost always represented in the widest range of solutions in a variety of categories. Install new applications on the smartphone quickly enough, run without significant "braking" and hangs.

conclusions

We studied the main features of the smartphone Highscreen Omega Prime S. Our review, however, will be incomplete without conclusions. Among the undisputable advantages of the device, which experts and users note - elegant design, slim body, easy control. Many praise the screen, high sensitivity of the matrix.

The performance of the device is highly estimated, even at the expense of the autonomy of the work, which, of course, is relatively modest. However, in separate modes, such as, for example, playing music, the battery shows quite decent results.

Many users are also impressed by the financial aspect of the purchase of Highscreen Omega Prime S. The price of the device is quite democratic - about 8 thousand rubles. Against the background of many competing solutions, the cost is quite attractive. Of course, in combination with the quality and performance of the device.

Naturally, the "diversity" of the smartphone also played a role in the formation of a positive opinion about the device. The fact that at the disposal of the user - a whole range of phones - Highscreen Omega Prime S Black, and even White, Yellow or Red, predetermines extremely positive feedback on this design approach.

The phone, experts believe, as well as many users, is able to be very competitive in its segment, and even though in the latter there are real giants of the scale industry - Samsung and Sony. However, the Russian brand, according to experts, does not at all seek to press the world brands - the goal of Vobis is to form its own narrow niche of devices that combine practicality, nice design and build quality.
