Head of Huawei trolls Meizu MX4 Pro and Mi Note Pro 2Q screen – Mobiltelefon.Ru

Each successive increase the screen resolution of smartphones and tablets causes a lot of controversy surrounding the feasibility of running around for the pixel density. This indicator has crossed the mark of modern champions 500ppi and continues to grow. Nevertheless, Quad HD is catching on and is an indicator of the premium smartphone, its progress and compliance with the spirit of the time. The opposite view is held by one of the leaders of the Chinese Huawei. According to him, to tell the difference image quality to the human eye is almost impossible, but the battery life suffers greatly from such permission. Huawei experts conducted a series of tests smartphone competitors – Meizu MX4 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, each of which boasts a 2K panel. Details of the test manager has not opened, but shared the conclusion that, for example, a battery 3000 mAh for Mi Note Pro is not suitable and it is absolutely not enough.

So, from this statement, we can conclude Huawei’s strategy does not provide for the transition to standard Quad HD. However, we have heard many times these points of view to the new technologies from large companies and have seen a sharp change of orientation after the format gaining popularity. For example, Qualcomm called 8-core processor overkill, and today the company’s top chipset Snapdragon 810 has exactly this number of cores. So fans of Huawei, waiting Mate with 2K panel early to despair.

When we first met new (given its price and positioning) is not caught. Since the turn of journalists to test the unit, I was not the first, the case here and there, “decorated” scratches and abrasions. Nachudil manufacturer itself: on the front of the gap, and the main chamber is above the rear wall of which are already visible traces of use. The body is made of plastic and polikarbornata and rear panel – from soft-touch material. Special glass screen is protected.

But it is necessary to include the device – and the mood is changing: high resolution, natural colors, wide viewing angles. Plus accurate and precise sensor for recognizing as many as 10 touches. TouchWiz is fast, does not slow down and does not fall into a reverie. Powered honest mnogokonny mode, only it is not always convenient. Brand Pen improved, in particular, increased sensitivity – to use with hands.

Performance redundant, because inside rumbles eight-engine paired with a very powerful for its class video accelerator and 3 GB of RAM. Games, recording / playback of 4K-video – all nothing to him. The test result AnTuTu, as they say, no comment. Under load the body barely heated. However, glitches occur as a spontaneous reboot (blame in this particular instance, apparently, the last fire, water and copper pipes).

The module cellular weak – a maximum of divisions indicator only on holidays, conversation happens breaks. Moreover, the operator is independent. Unlike him fast and stable Wi-Fi. Another strange decision – the use of outdated USB 2.0.

audio part, as usual, on horseback and sometimes indulges through multimedia speaker and headphone output clicks are heard (most likely, again, the lack of an instance). Supply of small volume.

Developer boasts fast charging technology, they say, to fill the battery requires no more than half an hour. The idea, of course, useful … for those in a hurry. However, despite the relatively decent power supply capacity, the smartphone runs no longer than colleagues who have weaker battery. But the regime maximum energy savings worth praise – a very practical thing, if you want to stay connected, multimedia sacrificing the beauty.

Galaxy Note 4 successfully develops its line. Here are just some innovations as otherwise useless can not be called (I’m talking about the above-mentioned sensors), and in light of recent developments in the economy who want to buy a novelty hardly threatens to stand in line. In my opinion, the most suitable machine for creative people and bloggers.
