Smartphone Zte Blade L2: customer reviews and features

An entry-level smartphone with a large display diagonal and modest hardware resources is the ZTE Blade L2. Reviews of the owners of this gadget, its hardware and software specifications will be discussed in detail below.

Smartphone package

Very modest against the background of similar devices is the ZTE Blade L2. Reviews and information about him once again indicate this. It should be noted right away that the battery is integrated into the device, that is, it is not removable. The list of complete accessories for this gadget is:

• Branded charger with output connector USB and current of 0,7 A.

• A wired stereo headset that plays the role of an antenna when playing a radio.

• Interface cord.

• Warranty card and user manual.

In the delivery package, obviously there is not enough protective film (the front panel is made of plastic), the case (the smart phone case is also made of plastic) and an external storage. All this new owner of this smartphone will have to buy separately and for an additional fee.

Design of the device and the convenience of working on it

There are two options for color design of the case of this unit. White more will like the weak half of humanity - women. But the second option, in black, is more practical and versatile. It's just not so quick to get dirty ZTE Blade L2 BLACK. Reviews This, of course, confirm. The front panel of the gadget, as noted earlier, is made of plastic with a glossy finish. It simply attracts dirt and dust to it, fingerprints remain on it. To solve this problem, you will additionally buy a special protective film. Below the screen is a typical panel for managing this device, consisting of three buttons. Above the screen, as it should be, there is a speaker, a front camera for video conversations and a whole series of sensory elements.

There is at least one communication or control element on each face of the device. Given the diagonal of a 5-inch touchscreen, this solution is not entirely justified. It's not very convenient to operate a mobile phone with just one hand. The lock button is located on the right edge of the gadget, on the left side are the volume buttons. On the underside of the smart smartphone are a conversational microphone and a microUSB wired port. The upper edge shows a typical wire connector - 3.5 mm. The back cover, as mentioned earlier, is made of plastic with a matte finish. This approach is justified, it is almost not going to dirt and there are no prints. On top of it, the main camera is displayed. Nearby is a single LED lighting. At the bottom of it is a loud speaker.

CPU, graphics adapter and memory

Time-tested and very reliable, the processor solution in ZTE Blade L2 is used. Reviews Distinguish this feature of it. But, on the other hand, MT6582 (and such a chip is installed in this smart phone) can not boast of a high level of performance. If in the previous year the solutions on its basis could be attributed to the middle segment of devices, now they are budget smartphones. The gadget has 4 cores on the "Cortex A7" architecture, which can accelerate to 1.3 GHz in maximum load mode. The performance of this chip is still enough to run any application, but the settings for the most demanding toys will not be maximum. But it's not far off the time when software will appear that will not function on this CPU. But at the same time, its computing capabilities are quite enough to solve most everyday problems.

Complementing the processor graphics accelerator - "Mali-400MP". But with the memory is quite bad things with this smartphone. The amount of RAM it has is 1 GB, and the capacity of the integrated flash drive is 4 GB. In this case, the user is allocated only 2.5 GB. This is clearly not enough for comfortable work on the device. There is a slot for installing flash cards. The maximum size can be 32 GB. This allows to solve to some extent the problem of lack of memory on this gadget.

Screen

One of the most controversial points is the display, which is equipped with a phone ZTE Blade L2. Reviews, on the one hand, indicate its large diagonal, equal to 5 inches. But, on the other hand, its resolution is 480х854. Such technical parameters lead to the fact that the picture on it will be granular. Let and not very much, but it will be noticeable. Another feature of the device is that its screen is based on the TFT matrix. This technology is obsolete today. Its key drawback is the significant distortion of the image when the device is rotated. In normal work, for example, watching a movie or reading a book, this is not critical. But here during the game in the same "Asphalt 8" it can greatly spoil the process of gameplay. After all, the smartphone during the race must be twisted in the hands, and this will necessarily lead to the fact that the picture on the display is distorted.

Autonomy

As noted earlier, the battery is built into the ZTE Blade L2. The reviews point out the controversy of such a design solution. On the quality of assembly devaysa it does not affect in any way, but in case of failure of the battery without the help of a specialized center for repair of mobile gadgets simply can not do. The declared nominal capacity of the battery is 2000 mAh. If you maximally load the device, then this will last for 4-5 hours of continuous operation. With an average level of gadget usage, this value will increase to 2 days. If you save as much battery life as possible, then you can stretch 3 days on one charge.

Interfaces

All necessary interfaces for information exchange with the outside world are equipped with this smartphone. This is GSM, and 3G, and Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and GPS, and A-GPS, and microUSB, and 3.5-mm. All this is in the ZTE Blade L2. Customers' reviews indicate that the quality and reliability of any of the previously mentioned interfaces, both wired and wireless, does not cause any complaints. That is, from the position of data exchange, this device has no weaknesses.

User opinion

Most of the complaints are caused by cameras in ZTE Blade L2 Black. Reviews say that their real values do not correspond to the declared specifications. The main one is based on a sensor at 8 Mp. But, most likely, its real value is 5 Mp, and the claimed 8 Mp is obtained by the interpolation method. Exactly the same situation with the front camera. The claimed 1 Mn is obtained by using the same interpolation of 0.3 Mp. This is what causes discontent among most users of this gadget. Another problem is the margin of the front panel of the smartphone. We have to buy a normal film and stick it on. Similarly, to protect the body you need a cover. It is also not included in the delivery. Well, to solve the problem with a lack of memory, you also have to purchase an external flash drive. In the rest, as for the entry-level device, this smartphone is quite acceptable.

Price

In total at 4625 rubles is estimated at the moment the smartphone ZTE Blade L2. Reviews Indicate that this is not so much. The screen has a diagonal of 5 inches, the processor, of course, can not boast of a high level of performance, but it is enough to solve a wide range of tasks. For a similar amount and with such parameters it is difficult to find something better.

Results

If before there were no entry-level devices that would cost less than 5000 rubles and have a diagonal of 5 inches, now the situation has changed dramatically. One such device is the ZTE Blade L2. Reviews indicate that in this niche this gadget has practically no competitors. There are some drawbacks to it, but they are compensated by a price tag of 4625 rubles. This is an excellent phone for every day, which without problems will cope with the most typical tasks at the moment.
