4G Smartphone Customer Reviews

*** PRODUCTS BLOCK (Cheap mobile phones) *** You can endlessly "sing praises" to 4G phones, but the surest way to learn about the device in absentia is to ask for customer reviews. No wonder they say that the words of users speak the truth.

Oleg writes about Xiaomi Redmi 5A 2 / 16GB: “This is not the first Xiaomi buy and everything is super. Advantages: the best smartphone for the money. Very good battery. Practical design. Disadvantages: weak camera».

Vitaly about Blackview A7: “The phone is really good for my money, I bought it as a gift, the first sensor, everything works well. Advantages: price quality. Disadvantages: brake, but again, for your money it is justified».

Stanislav shares his impression of TP-LINK Neffos X1 Lite 2 / 16GB: “A week ago I bought it for my wife, I was looking for an inexpensive option.The choice was between the famous Chinese phones MEIZU M5s or Xiaomi 4a, but I was confused by the large number of lags and peculiar firmware with their themes. In search of the optimal one within UAH 3000. To summarize - I sell my phones and buy myself the same! It's a real phone! + powerbank that charges 2.4 A - in 65-70 minutes from 5% to 100%. Advantages: dividing the screen into two zones + (when you can watch video and use the Internet at the same time - very convenient) The sound of the main and spoken speakers is clear - I would compare it with the quality of calls in Viber - clear and even too much (in the background you can hear everything that others and about than they say). The presence of 4G LTE networks + (with a gap for the future) The wife takes off the charge at 7: 00-7: 30 and at 23: 00-23: 30 puts on the charge - under very strong loads (children play games and watch their favorite cartoons) ... In Lite mode, it holds up to 19-20 hours by rail - this indicates the quality of the dialer. The mini yusbi power connector holds well and fits. Disadvantages: color rendition with a blockage in blue. Battery capacity I would like to 3000 milliamperes».
