THL 5000: owner feedback and technical specifications

Most of us are used to the fact that Chinese technology is low-quality products, which is often a copy of some famous brand. This is the reason for this attitude to smartphones, tablets and other electronics from the Middle Kingdom.

But few people have noticed that in recent years, Chinese companies have significantly increased their share of the presence in the world market. A lot of mobile phones, produced and developed in this country, now occupies one of the first places in the sales ranking. Some companies (for example Xiaomi) even predict leadership in the industry in the next 3-5 years.

The object of our review today is another Chinese smartphone that has several features. It does not have a great name, is not advertised on all banners and streamers, and generally does not compete with the giants of the global smartphone industry. However, this is an interesting phone that can satisfy the average user's demands with interest. We are talking about the THL 5000. We will try to explain the phone as well as its characteristics in this article.

Who heard about THL?

Let's start with the manufacturer, which introduced the phone. Surely, many of us have not even heard that there is such a brand as THL (these three letters are deciphered, by the way, as Technology Happy Life). This is not surprising, because the company is present in the electronics market relatively recently - since 2008. What is most interesting, until 2013, hardly anyone could hear about it outside of China, because it was from its homeland that this company began its development. By 2012, as noted on the official website, THL managed to open more than three hundred stores across the country. Apparently, only after such a success the company began its growth around the world.

Now in electronics stores in our country you can find several models of devices from this manufacturer. True, the most famous is still the smartphone THL 5000. We will give feedback on it a little further in the text, and now we will describe how the phone is trying to show on the market.

General positioning of the model 5000

The main "chip" of the phone lies in its name - "5000". Of course, it has a special meaning, because this is the capacity of the battery of the device. Exactly 5000 mAh! You ask, is this a lot or a little? We answer: iPhone offer with a battery capacity of about 1800 mAh. Even taking into account that the technology on the iOS operating system consumes less charge than Android, with a 5000-thousandth battery, the THL smartphone obviously solves one of the main problems of devices on this OS - lack of charging, too fast.

In addition to this feature, the phone has nothing to brag about. Yes, it has an attractive design and a lot of advantages, but both of them have been repeatedly implemented on other Chinese phones. As for the battery, then with it you can take in a long enough road your THL 5000. Reviews indicate that one charge is enough for about 120 hours of music. The manufacturer on the official website says about 40 hours of conversation, 10 - work with the mobile Internet network, and 15 - video viewing.

These characteristics are given so that you understand how hard this phone is. In the meantime, let's start with its general characteristics, for which we first unpack the box from under the device.

Open the box

Holding the package with the phone, first of all we pay attention to the simplicity of its design. It is made of strong, dense, but white cardboard, which in fact has no decoration. Thus, obviously, manufacturers make it clear that the most interesting is inside the package.

So, open the box and take out the device. It should be noted that the packaging itself is collected reasonably well, due to which it is hardly possible to damage the phone during transportation. This is an obvious plus.

The phone rests on top of the partition, lifting it, we find out additional accessories. Apparently, the developers of THL 5000 (customer reviews confirm this) make a strong emphasis on a rich set of smartphones, which will not need to buy anything extra. About what is meant, read on.

Package Contents

So, what does THL offer to everyone who bought the phone 5000? Firstly, this is the apparatus itself. On his screen is pasted a factory film for transportation, which, probably, you have to peel off, because the review with it is not good enough. Secondly, in the box with the device we find headphones. They are, of course, original, produced by order of the developer company, and therefore have the same logo as the smartphone. The color of the headset is white and, apparently, it can not be selected.

Thirdly, with the model in the kit is also offered a set consisting of a protective film and two covers. On the film, there is really nothing to talk about, but the covers are a transparent bumper and a leather "book". Their quality, if evaluated on a 5-point scale, clearly does not exceed 3.5-4 points. Though for the first time quite will descend.

In addition to all of the above, the box also contains a charger, consisting of a cord and an adapter, as well as an instruction manual.

Device Display

From the review of the bundle, go to the first thing that catches your eye - the phone's display. According to technical specifications, the screen on the THL 5000 phone (reviews about which are generally good) is a 5-inch sensor based on the IPS-matrix. Thanks to the pixel density of 441 ppi, the picture transfer on the phone is excellent. The only negative point is that it is not very good image quality when viewing at an angle. If you turn the phone, you will notice a change in colors depending on the review, which should not be.

In order to protect them from scratches, the manufacturers covered Gorilla Glass 3 with the THL 5000 model. The testimonies indicate that this solution really helps, although most of the users do not refuse the film.

Technical stuffing

The screen of any device is good, but the "heart" of the device - its filling is also important.

According to the technical parameters, the Mediatek MT6592 Turbo smartphone is based on the THL 5000 smartphone. The owners' feedback shows that such equipment allows to run any, even the most demanding games like Real Racing 3 or Respawnables without delay. These and many other applications work perfectly thanks to the high frequency of smartphone performance, equal to 2 GHz.

Smartphone Camera

THL 5000 (user reviews confirm this) is equipped with two cameras with a resolution of 13 and 5 megapixels. They, in turn, have various additions, like automatic recognition of faces, focus, flash (on the main). The manufacturer of cameras (according to technical documentation) is Sony.

As evidenced by the THL 5000 owners' reviews, the pictures are quite clear, albeit with not too saturated colors. Perhaps, the device does not have enough good color rendering, due to what the pictures get a somewhat unrealistic balance of white and other tones. However, you can put a solid four for photos.

Software

In the question of software installed on the model, nothing new and unexpected is present. Here is the Android 4.2.2 KitKat system, which is the most stable version of the 4th generation. The manufacturer does not report whether the next version will be released. If such an update happens, it will not happen soon. Therefore, users will have to be satisfied with what they have. Although, of course, KitKat also showed itself as a very good system.

Features of THL 5000

Among the additional features of the THL 5000 (Black) reviews highlight the availability of contactless data transmission (NFC), support for two SIM-cards, as well as a fairly good transmission of sound (due to what the phone can be used as a small player).

Of the disadvantages, it should be noted the lack of support for the work in the format of LTE networks. It turns out that the Internet 4G your THL can not accept, you will have to slow down 3G. However, as the reviews show, this is not a problem for most users.

Price position

Finally, another pleasant moment, characterizing the model 5000 - is the price. The smartphone is positioned as an average representative in its segment and costs about 11.5-12.5 thousand rubles. Given this, we can conclude: in terms of its cost and capabilities, the phone can obviously be called competitive. Moreover, it can easily bypass older versions of Samsung and Apple's flagships, which cost even more.

Therefore, we can say with confidence that the 5000 model is a worthy candidate for acquisition in the event that you need a simple but functional smartphone for two SIM cards that can work on one charge for a long time. Features like a stylish design and a rich bundle in this case can be considered as a pleasant bonus.
