Specifications

Equipment

In the box we found the smart phone, adapter with cable, earphones, clip to eject the SIM card, transparent silicone case, instructions and protective film.

Appearance and ergonomics

Camon 11s sold in four colors, we got a dark blue modification. Rear panel gradient: color changes from black to blue-rich. The back of the smartphone Mark and collects dust.

On the left side is a slot for a SIM card, and microSD. Right - unpaired Volume button below - the power button. Below are connectors microUSB and mini-jack, the opening speaker and microphone.

Camon 11s completely made of plastic, and in comparison with other smartphones that fell into our hands, weighs almost nothing. Tactile sensation allude to the fact that the housing is unreliable and the device can not withstand impact against a hard surface. in case of incidence guarantee does not extend.

It comes with a ribbed transparent cover of silicone. It seems, then the manufacturer does not bother: cutouts around the fingerprinting module and camera slightly crooked. But there have accessory plugs for connectors to compensate for the absence of dust and moisture protection.

Screen

There is installed a 6.2-inch IPS-screen. There are claims to a little caustic light tones, but does not cause irritation of the display. The main disadvantage - resolution HD +. With it you can comfortably use the shell, play and chat in messengers, but watching videos - not very. Resolution will run commercials only in 720p. This means that even more compact smartphone with support for 1 080p image will be sharper and more detailed.

Next strange nuance - frame. Yes, nominally Camon 11s is the title bezramochnika. It has a trendy teardrop-shaped cutout at the camera and no buttons below the display.

But the cut does not help: the scope is so large that the manufacturer could just as easily leave the full edge. Impressions of using the same.

Sound

Poor audio sin smartphones and a half, and twice as much, so here rely on what is not necessary. So the only acceptable scenario for listening to music - sound output from Camon 11s on a separate device.

Sound speaker verhasty, basses are missing. Headphones from a kit is not better.

Camera

The camera takes pictures at a tolerable good light and almost useless when its deficit. Photos created with natural light, look great on the screen of your smartphone, but with the increase shows that they bluff. If the processing at a snapshot walked tool "Scharping." The wide-angle camera works slightly worse than basic, but also produces acceptable images if it lacks the light.

The third chamber - a depth sensor to create portraits. There are some claims to the depth of field and the number of objects in focus, but the opportunity to take a picture with the hardware bokeh pleases. This software works better separation of objects in focus even more expensive smartphones.

By the same criticism front chamber: the lack of light exposure is increased so that the frame to receive the non-lubricated becomes difficult. And even here if the default works some light byutifikatsiya: it seems that the camera is slightly lightens the skin tone.

full-application interface is concise - in it is easy to understand, and do not need to endlessly shake slider modes to reach desired. Developers have sacrificed manual exposure settings, but remained on the panel control buttons flash, HDR, the transition to the creation of portraits and pictures on a wide-angle lens. Not without its typical Chinese smartphone oddities: classic modes are combined with byutifikatsiey "Beauty" and the catalog AR Mode masks. Standard mode for photo called AI Cam. In it automatically identifies the scene and adjust the exposure is adjusted.

Camera in Camon 11s exclusively utilitarian thing. Since it is easy to fix what you need to remember to remove simple landscape, make selfie or portrait. But the resulting images are unlikely to you as a surprise.

Performance

There installed quad processor MediaTek Helio A22 MT6761 with frequency up to 2 GHz, as a budget more Redmi 6A or devices starting Huawei line. RAM - 3 GB. Specifications are not encouraging, but in the early days of the 11s Camon is not exactly manifests itself as a brake or buggy. Problems in the interaction with the shell is almost there, but once the smartphone freezes when transferring files to the Telegram.

But in the benchmarks is not so great: we saw when running in AnTuTu, the device barely copes with complex graphics.

Nevertheless Camon 11s can comfortably play in the dynamic light toys like Temple Run and heavy PUBG at minimum graphics settings.

Verdict: use Camon 11s can and specifications though strongly lose the characteristics of more expensive smartphones, but not strongly affect the operation of the device. Mikrolagi there, but not critical. Perhaps in time they will get bigger: trust your new name on the market, an unknown shell and outdated processor, of course, difficult.

Software

After endless shells clones from a venerable Chinese brands scold HiOS from Tecno does not work. She recalls how iOSAnd all of these clones, however, your chips here, too. Among them - the Application Manager with an alphabetical index and the automatic distribution of downloaded folders programs. There are oddities such as a widget, "Meister phone" button, "Cool."

The browsers and user widgets expects advertising, and on the desktop - a set of services from Google and Tecno. Recent want poudalyat. This Quick Access Toolbar, we have already seen in other Android-shells. Long tapom on the central button you can call «Google Assistant".

HiOS can hide nasty surprises, which we did not recognize the time of the test. But at first glance, it is nice, but after removing all superfluous, even useful.

unlocking

List ways to unlock a classic: the face, fingerprint and using PIN. Setting Local Face ID has passed very quickly and without scanning faces in 3D - hence, the reliability is not very high. But this method works very fast and does not require any additional action - enough to take the smart phone and look at the screen.

fingerprint sensor is also not satisfactory: works quickly and almost always.

autonomy

Battery capacity - 3500 mAh. This is average. With the remainder of the charge system 80% told us that the smartphone will work 38 more hours. Believe it not worth it. Battery confidently holds its charge during the day, with the active use of the device.

results

If you choose a smartphone with a price up to 10 thousand rubles, Camon 11s - a viable option. Especially if you need a device with a nice gradient back, without frames and the possibility of portrait and wide-angle shooting.

But there are also disadvantages: the fragility of the body, outdated processor, the lack of resolution Full HD. If a little to go beyond the financial framework of 10 000 rubles, then Camon 11s will have many competitors with Full HD +, more serious cameras and eight cores. For example, a hit Redmi Note 7.
