Today I came across an Androidphone from a domestic manufacturer - Vobis - proudly made in China, Highscreen Zeus.
The price of the device is about 12-14000 rubles.
I apologize for the photos. The device is new, all glossy; there is not enough lighting, scary photos come out during the flash ... Added a photo of the interface.
The box looks pretty.
Trends take their toll. The device is completely and completely glossy ... All the elements of the device shine and get dirty. Black plastic, chrome trim around, shiny caps ... Shiny keys of a quarter-keyboard.
Oh yes. The device is a side slider with a quarter keyboard. Of course, truncated and compressed. Take a look at the picture and understand.
The display is made using resistive technology.
ATTENTION. the device has a stylus. True, you will not find it right away. At least I was looking for two minutes.
Zeus has several hardware buttons: a power button a la nokia (on the top), control buttons (select, green handset and return), a camera button (on / off), as well as a volume slider with the “vibro” position. That vibro is convenient. On my hero you need to unlock and hold "down" - then he will quickly shut up. and here - like on an iPhone)
on the top of the button there is a hole for the headphones, as well as a slot for a memory card (micro SD) and a micro-USB connector (micro USB) covered with a plug.
Delivery set - Zeus himself, headset, charging (power supply ), yusb cord, instructions, warranty, stylus, battery and ... attention: DISK (there is only one file on the disc - a PDF with instructions).
Memory cards included NO.
It’s strange. year 2009. 2 GB memory cards are almost free ... but put in the kit - no, no?
Headphones resemble those of HTC Tattoo. Just even easier. Something like a Samsung headset.
Regarding the backlight - the normal backlighting of the keys. Uniform and pleasant. The display, in principle, is not so hot, especially for 2009. But again, the price.
The first inclusion took about 3 minutes. I was surprised. Back to the stone age?
In principle, it did not slow down much. But he didn’t fly either. I reacted adequately to the fingers. You can safely forget about the stylus (fortunately, you can’t see or hear it in the pencil case).
Screams apparatus loudly. It is quite possible to listen to music by putting the device on the table. There is one speaker. He is down.
With the device without a card, almost nothing could be done. I stuck the first one.
I took a picture. here is the result:
Operating system - Android OS 1.5 with a shell from Highscreen. When you open the slider, the orientation changes. Even on the desktop.
Accelerometer (g-sensor) is not detected. I did not find the compass either. And there was no place to look for him especially. But there is a notebook, AndAppStore, Java Me Apps ... a typical user of this creation looms right before my eyes - either a teenager who loves Java applications, but wants to grow up ... Or a mature person who is sorry to spend a lot of money on the phone. The refugees from the symbian and winmobile will be almost at home here. You can’t drag it here with an iPhone ...
Summing up - for your money - a decent device. Quarter keyboard, android, autofocus. Tattoo made purely technically. a lot of gloss. Well ... China and Russia. not in the best sense of the word. Something like this.
The price of the device is about 12-14000 rubles.
