Smartphone Senseit E500: review, specifications and reviews

Chinese developers of mobile devices are steadily increasing production volumes, constantly offering new models of their devices. From time to time in the market there is even a developer, unknown before, who receives a lot of attention from the buyers and is successful.

We will talk about one of these in this article. The product to which this review is devoted, in fact, has not yet become so famous as to speak of some success, but nevertheless, the device deserves attention for a number of reasons. And so we will give more information about its technical characteristics, reviews, advantages and disadvantages. We will discuss the smartphone Senseit E500. What he is - read on.

Briefly about the model

To begin with, let's designate the general concept of the device and the company that produces it. So, the manufacturer Senseit is a Russian developer who orders devices for production from Chinese companies and sells them on the domestic market. The company launched the line of its devices with the model E400, in the name of which there is the prefix Life. The next version of the smartphone, obviously, carries the index E500 - and the console is saved.

Phones sold under the brand name, bear all the signs of Chinese smartphones. They are not worth a lot - the E500, for example, is offered for 10 thousand rubles. In this case, the technical characteristics of the device can please any fan of high-tech devices. There is enough functional stuffing, placed in an attractive case, painted "under the metal" (made on the model of Apple-technology). However, everything in order. Our description of the Senseit E500 review we will begin with the bundling of the phone. Then smoothly move to other modules of the device to understand what to expect buyers from the Russian-Chinese smartphone. Also will be given feedback from those who have already been lucky enough to work with the device.

Set

The policy, according to which the developers of mobile phones supply their customers with a lot of additional accessories (film, cover and battery in addition), probably proved not so effective. At least, judging by some of the newest Chinese devices, we can say that the set of such devices is becoming more modest. Here, for example, and characterizing the smartphone Senseit E500 reviews indicate that it comes with only a protective film on the screen, which is installed "out of the box." That is, on the one hand, the advantage of this solution is the lack of the need to tinker with it; And on the other hand - a conditional drawback lies in the absence of a cover and other accessories. That is, if the buyer wants, he should look for his Senseit E500 case separately.

In addition to the phone and the film, the kit of the described device contains an instruction manual, as well as a clip for retrieving a special tray where the SIM card will be installed, and a charger. All this is placed in a white compact box, which is decorated with a photo of the phone.

Design

Smartphone Senseit E500 is not too bright and something significantly different from other similar devices design. Rather, on the contrary - manufacturers tried to make the appearance of the model as low-key as possible, unattractive for a potential buyer. So, as we already noted, the phone is painted "under the metal" and made of plastic. The features of the case resemble the design, which is often used by other manufacturers, so there is no individual model available. However, the Senseit E500, which we are reviewing, has something attractive. For example, edging the camera's eye with a red color on a gray background creates a favorable impression. In addition, you can praise the manufacturer's solution to paint the frames around the display in such a way that the screen appears to occupy the entire front of the phone. "Unmask" the trick can be easy - just unlock the screen, and you'll see that it's not that big.

Navigation elements

Smartphone Senseit E500 White has a classic arrangement of keys for navigation, as well as functional holes. In particular, on the front panel, under the display, the usual physical buttons are placed for switching to the desktop, "Back", and also for viewing the available options.

The button for unlocking the screen and adjusting the sound level is on the right side panel. Above them is a hole in the tray where both SIM cards are installed. Symmetrically this, on the left side there is the same hole where the memory card fits.

As for the headphone and charger connectors, they are located on the top edge. This solution, although it is somewhat bold (after all, most manufacturers prefer to leave the port for charging at the bottom of the device), is justified, because it does not interfere with the work with the smartphone in the process of connecting to the network.

Display

The phone has a classic screen for its class, whose diagonal size is 5.5 inches. There is a display based on IPS technology, due to which the maximum of colors is transmitted, and the picture is bright and saturated enough. To ensure that the user can comfortably read from the phone in the sun, the model is equipped with flexible brightness settings. Also mention the protection of the display with Asahi Glass - a powerful glass, reminiscent of the well-known to everyone Gorilla Glass. With it, the Senseit E500 phone can successfully withstand the formation of scratches, chips and cracks. The model screen also supports HD transmission.

CPU

The performance of any smartphone in the first place depends on the characteristics of its technical stuffing, and more specifically - the processor. So, the model E500 operates on the basis of Mediatek MT6582M - not the newest "engine", which proved not to be in the best light on the previous model - E400. But the smartphone Senseit E500 (reviews are a confirmation) is working with the new version of the operating system - it's about Android 5.0. It, as shown practice, fundamentally changes everything - the processor with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz for each of the 4 cores behaves smoothly and without braking. The device has 1 GB RAM installed - the indicator is low, and it is not worth counting on launching applications with high requirements. The model, rather, can show itself well in daily use, while performing basic tasks.

Battery

Another important indicator of how comfortable the model will be is its autonomy. This factor is directly determined by the capacity of the battery, which is pre-installed on the model.

In the case of the Senseit E500 (which we are reviewing), we should talk about a battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh. This characteristic, perhaps, is less than the average for this class of devices, so it will be natural to lack the charge even in order to "hold out" until the end of the working day. Perhaps the developers have not sufficiently optimized the charge, and also chose a less capacious battery.

Memory

With the amount of space available for downloading data, the phone is not all that smooth. At least so mark the Senseit E500 related reviews. In particular, from the pre-installed 8 GB of memory only 2 GB are available to the user. This is catastrophically small if we are talking about a modern smartphone. To fix the situation could be a 32 GB memory card, which can be installed additionally. Apparently, so do buyers. We did the same for the Senseit E500 review, we used a model without a map.

Camera

According to the typical scheme for such phones, two cameras are installed here: the front camera (the resolution of the array is 5 Mp) and the main one (13 Mp). Considering the quality of the survey, it is obvious that the manufacturers are deceived in the declared figures. It takes the phone much worse, and you can read about it in the reviews. On the back cover, right under the camera's eye, there is a flash. With it, shooting in dark conditions will, of course, be better - but again you should not expect something high-tech.

operating system

As we already noted, the previous version of the device - E400 - worked on the basis of Android OS 4-th generation. In the case of the Senseit E500 Mild Gray, you need to talk about a newer version - the Android 5.0 operating system. This is somewhat more convenient in terms of using the phone. As the reviews say, the device responds faster than before. Undoubtedly, the increased performance was achieved due to software optimization - all the technical stuffing remained the same.

In addition to speed, the new version of the operating system promises the buyer also an entirely different appearance of the user interface.

Connectivity

The phone is offered with support for 2 SIM cards. Like a lot of other similar models, it works with all communication standards common in our country. So, in the first place is the usual GSM-format (2G / 3G / LTE networks), then we can note the possibility of receiving a WiFi signal. Bluetooth-adapter allows you to exchange file data, and GPS and GLONASS - navigate the terrain. True, with the last two quite often there are problems.

As the reviews characterizing the Senseit E500 show, navigating the map, following the pointer on this device, is very problematic. The dot on the screen, which indicates the location of the phone, can dramatically change. It seems that the device just for a short time loses its connection with satellites, and then finds and corrects the data. Then the process repeats.

Reviews

After seeing the Senseit E500 related characteristics, you need to refer to the reviews of real users, which we did. To be honest, they were unpleasantly surprised.

Many of those who are the buyer of the device, led a lot of criticism towards the developers. Users claim that the behavior of the device does not match what was originally stated in the technical specifications. It turned out to be a lie that the Senseit E500 Mild Gray works stably, has powerful characteristics and is very cheap at the same time. In practice, the model ceased to please the buyer in a couple of days.

The reason for this in the mass of problems and "glitches" that arise in the system. For example, a frequent occurrence was the failure to receive a signal from a particular SIM card; In order to eliminate the problem, you need to pull out the tray and insert it again. Another example is the incorrect operation of the proximity sensor. The result of it was that every time during a conversation, a person presses the face on the screen, and thus accidentally turns on the speakerphone, the speaker turns off, or the conversation ends altogether.

Problems can arise with how the network is caught. Sometimes the device simply does not receive a signal (for some reason) - and this applies not only to GSM, but also WiFi.

Another feedback notes the low quality of the camera and also claims that no 13 megapixel (as indicated in the Senseit E500 White) is not there.

Finally, another group of common complaints among buyers is the unstable operation of the smartphone. In particular, it can reboot itself, change the sound to contacts. Some users have noted that the phone does not always determine the number of the subscriber calling to him, and too long can load outgoing call.

And, as you know, besides these, there are a lot of other mistakes that we will not even talk about, in order to save time.

Judging by the reviews, the merits of the model is not so much.

conclusions

In this article, a device developed by a Russian company for the domestic market is described. The very fact that people work in the field of high technologies and develop our market in this direction is already commendable. But, on the other hand, you need to be as objective as possible by evaluating such phones.

In their responses, the majority of those who bought the device spoke about it sharply negatively, then we will not advise this device to you. A small battery, a weak camera, a low memory capacity and an out-of-date processor, not to mention unstable work in general, do not benefit the manufacturer and the device. Therefore, unfortunately, this review did not show the advantages of the smartphone in front of other representatives of its class.
