More recently, for a smartphone with such characteristics have to give half the kingdom and in the bargain the kidney. Today these figures is no surprise - sure middling, not more.
But it should be noted that the hardware stuffing Vernee Mars allows you to cope with all the typical tasks without any tension. The only exception - some of the most demanding games in which to play, of course, possible, but not at the highest settings.
Appearance and assembly
Vernee Mars housing is made of high-grade aluminum, past several steps of grinding and anodizing. The smartphone has turned out pretty slim - just 7.6 mm, but there is absolutely no reason to doubt its reliability. No sagging, twisting or creaking is not in sight. During the build quality should put the highest rating.
Separately, we must examine the body color. I came across a gold option. I am very afraid that run into psevdolaksheri cheap, if you know what I mean. Vernee Mars entirely dispelled my doubts.
He was no gold, rather cream with a metallic sheen. This model is perfect for the fair sex, while men prefer probably gray option.
Another feature of the body, which you probably noticed when viewing photos - a very thin frame around the screen. Because of this hull Vernee Mars turned out much the same narrow, like a five-inch screen models. Therefore, it is quite possible to operate using one hand, which is an additional plus.
Screen
For a description of this smartphone screen I will spare no praise. I did not expect to see such a bright, colorful and fast screen smartphone middle class.
The thing is that in Vernee Mars using quality Sharp production matrix, made by technology IGZO, which provides excellent color reproduction, and also reduces the response time and reduce the size of the matrix pixel.
Again, the picture it produces just excellent. With me on this accepted by all the people I showed smartphone.
autonomy
I will not hide from you that the battery Vernee Mars made me a little worried. Smartphone came to me fully discharged and at first did not even want to be hung. After the first charge, he worked for a few hours and suddenly shut down with a completely empty battery.
The second charge revived on Mars a bit longer, but still not nearly as much as might have been expected from a battery capacity of 3,000 mAh.
However, after the third charge, everything fell into place. I do not know what it was due, - deep battery discharge or a software bug - but for the following week, Mars tests no longer give rise to complaints of autonomy.
battery capacity is enough for all day use, and even sometimes had 15-20%. Normal result, the more so if necessary a smartphone can be recharged from 0 to 50% in only 30 minutes due Pump Express 3.0 technology.
Camera
Many users believe that the smartphone from the lower and mid-level naive to expect an outstanding image quality. In part they are right - a good camera is worth the money, and manufacturers in the conditions of tough price competition are forced to save on everything. However, the camera Vernee Mars refutes this assertion.
Used in Vernee Mars Sony manufactured matrix allows for brighter and sharper images even when shooting is not very favorable conditions. Of course, this is not a professional SLR camera, but for a smartphone mid-market is quite a good result.
Separately I want to mention quickly focus and capture rate that allows you to capture even moving objects. If you are keen on mobile photography, I think, Vernee Mars will please you.
Performance
As I said above, Vernee Mars was at the disposal of the latest chipset middle class MediaTek Helio P10 and as much as 4 GB of RAM. This combination is perfect for socializing, surfing the Internet, watching video, photo editing and almost all PC games.
You can be absolutely sure that the owner of the smartphone will not see any brake or in the operating system interface, any of the installed applications.
To complete the picture present the results of a few synthetic benchmarks. They can be used indirectly to assess the performance of the smartphone in real problems. As you can see, evaluation is not a record, but it is very good for a device in this price category.
Sound
About sound Vernee Mars can not say absolutely nothing wrong with that, though much good also. The external speaker is loud, but somewhat squeaky. Therefore, a call you do not miss, but no pleasure from listening to the ringtone, not to mention the music, not get it. The vibration is weak.
A completely different picture emerges when using headphones. Vernee Mars gives good rate and has good volume margin. No rattling or cutoff frequency at maximum gain is observed. Perhaps audiophiles and will find something to complain about the sound of this smartphone, but in my lowly opinion he is playing nice.
Software
Vernee company sets for all your devices clean, unspoiled by any Android homemade shells. I was no exception and Mars. It uses a stock Android Marshmallow without any sponsorship and additional software tools, from which at times so difficult to get rid of other gadgets.
The only additional feature, found me in the bowels of the operating system - this is the section to customize the appearance of the bottom navigation bar. Here you can not only specify the location of this panel, but also to make it completely concealed. It is very convenient in cases where you want to display more information on screen.
results
Overall, I liked the smartphone. Yes, it does not make a revolution in its price category, but from the competition looks quite decent. Key Features Vernee Mars correspond to the declared price tag and let you perform virtually any mobile task.
The new smartphone from Vernee has several important advantages, to which I would like to draw your attention.
- Assembling and appearance - this smartphone looks great and it's really nice to hold.
- Screen beyond praise. Excellent sensitivity, saturation, brightness reserve.
- Camera - it is just a celebration of some kind! Vernee Mars gave me confidence in mobile photography.
- operating system. Clean as a tear programmer, Android. Nowadays, it has become a rarity for some reason, so that should be appreciated.
whether the benefits are worth 230 or, if you are lucky enough to get on discount, Even $ 200 - decide. I think yes.
The author expresses his gratitude to the company Vernee for providing the test sample.
