Packaging and appearance

The smartphone comes in a small white box, the design of which copies the entire package iPhone X. In this regard, the manufacturer will be consistent: if the device is a clone, and the packaging must comply with this title.

The package includes: himself smartphone, a power unit, a connecting wire, OTG-adapter and a protective film for the screen. Additional cover in the box is not available, although the Internet, we have seen evidence that a black version of the device there is a high-quality plastic protective case.

To our office came model white. She looks quite respectable thanks to the back of the glass. In the upper left corner of it is located a block from the two cameras and flashes. Placed in the center of a fingerprint scanner, which has an oval shape.

The main area of ​​the front side covers the screen. The device can not be called frameless, but due to the elongated shape of the display and the characteristic "bangs" on top of it looks very modern.

Side faces Ulefone X made of shiny metal. On the right side is placed the volume rocker and the power button, which somehow reversed. The first time it is constantly confusing. Combined installation simok tray and the memory card is on the opposite side.

The upper face contains only a hole for the connection of headphones. But the bottom-placed manufacturer Elementary microphone, external speaker and a connector for charging and data exchange.

Overall Ulefone X design is fully consistent with its main task - by all means pretend to iPhone X. That is only the thickness and weight of the device is slightly pumped up, because Apple such thick and heavy smartphones no longer does. But otherwise good, pretty good.

Display and Audio

Ulefone X screen has a diagonal of 5.85 inches and a resolution of 1515 × 720 pixels. Its main feature - a distinctive notch in the upper part, in which the developers have placed a front camera and a phone speaker. To the right of this screen are cut on the clock and the battery indicator, and on the left there was a place for the Wi-Fi icon and mobile internet.

Image quality we had no major complaints. Normal in all respects a picture, no worse than most smartphones in its class. Small remark can be made only with respect to the luminance level: even at the maximum value of its darkened display under bright sunlight.

MiraVision settings in Ulefone X are absent, so adjust the color and contrast by itself will not work. However, most likely, it's anyone not be needed, as the default setting is quite correct.

Testing the sound quality, we were pleasantly shocked. The fact that the developers have established a separate audio chip in the smart phone AW8736 and a good speaker. The result is obvious: Ulefone X is able to outshout virtually any mobile phone. The sound quality is very worthy.

Even more positive emotions are guaranteed when you connect good headphones. This is perhaps one of the most musical of the smartphones that were we tested recently.

Performance

Ulefone X is powered by MediaTek MT6763 processor, which is now used in many devices of the primary and secondary levels. It has about the same performance as the chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, which is used in such popular models as Xiaomi Redmi S2 and Redmi 5 Plus. However, due to low resolution Ulefone X shows even better results in synthetic tests than mentioned models.

It is safe to say that the owners of this smartphone are unlikely to experience problems due to the performance of the device. All applications run fast, run smoothly and stably. In full this also applies to mobile gaming. We checked out the gameplay in World of Tanks, Mortal Combat and PUBG with medium graphics settings, and it was quite pleasant.

The smartphone has 4 GB of memory. Today, it is the gold standard, ensuring a comfortable fit all mobile programs. More memory - already too less - not enough. So from that point of view Ulefone X hit the nail on the head.

autonomy

The smartphone battery Ulefone X is set to 3300 mAh. This provides the ability to use the device during the day, which confirmed the results of our test.

In PCMark Battery Life phone test lasted 8:00 and 59 minutes. Recall that this test measures the time for reducing the battery from 100 to 20% when continuously on the screen. During testing, the device runs a script that simulates the user's normal activities: surfing, watching videos, photo processing, opening documents and so on.

The device supports fast charging, by which the total energy recovery process takes no more than fifteen hours. There is also support wireless chargingThat for this price range device at all surprising.

Camera

The manufacturer reports that Ulefone X installed double module of the main chamber. Resolution of the first sensor 13 is Mp, and the second used for background blur supposedly - 5 Mn. However, this information should not be fully trusted, as no test program having a second sensor does not detect. Blur is achieved exclusively by software - the same simple circle with a selected object.

However, that is no reason to despair, because the usual photo turn out quite decent. In good light smartphone produces photos that are not ashamed to show your friends and colleagues. He good at both macro and landscape subjects. The picture shows the correct color, good contrast, and a relatively low noise level. I am glad that the software algorithms are not too zealous on the optimization, so "soap" in the photographs is virtually nonexistent.

The front camera is useful for selfie and video calls. It allows you to apply to the image of various cosmetic effects that help in real-time to remove wrinkles, get rid of the extra kilos, whiten the skin and so on. The cool thing that will appeal to users who are no longer pleased with his own reflection in the mirror.

Software

Although the appearance of the smartphone is strongly reminiscent of iPhone X, the software part is crystal clear Android 8.1. It is good that the developers were able to resist the temptation and did not apply here, and a third-party launcher icons that mimic iOS.

no claims to the operating system. Everything works quite briskly and without errors. No extraneous programs or services that were previously loved to abuse the Chinese developers have not noticed. The default set of programs includes only the necessary minimum: Chrome, «Google Maps», «Google Drive», «Google Photos», YouTube. All other applications can be installed independently from the Google Play catalog.

Ulefone X supports wireless system upgrade. However, for the time spent in our smartphone, which is about two weeks, no additions or patch has not been released. Hopefully, upon receipt of the smartphone on the market, developers will get more user feedback and will take all the same work.
