Ulefone Power 2 - heir Ulefone Power smartphone, released almost a year ago. The new model has got a more powerful processor, an additional gigabyte of RAM, metal housing and other improvements. But the most important thing - it is a huge battery capacity of 6050 mAh, which allows a few days to forget about charging.

Specifications

On the characteristics Ulefone Power 2 - a typical 2017 middling. 4GB of RAM is enough for the smooth operation of the operating system and any applications in multitasking mode. 64 GB of internal memory will allow many users to dispense with additional microSD card.

If the manufacturer has not stinted on a more powerful processor, it would be at all remarkable. Still MT6750T, MediaTek submitted more than a year ago, it has become a budget solution. However, with their main responsibilities, he copes.

Equipment

Smartphone supplied in a flat cardboard box, designed in the black-red spectrum. The designers did a good job on the packaging. She looks strict, stylish and neat. In such a frame of the smartphone is not ashamed to give, and very nice to pick up.

Ulefone company tries to provide all of its products with additional accessories. I was no exception and Power 2. In addition to the smartphone, cable and charger are included stylish pouch, protective glass for the screen and OTG-cable. Case simulates the skin, and it looks completely different device.

Furthermore, there is a multifunctional metal ring which is attached to the housing rear smartphone and serves as an additional fastening using one hand. It can also be a support on which the smartphone will be on the table.

The user when buying Ulefone Power 2 immediately receives all necessary for comfortable and safe use of the smartphone.

Appearance and assembly

In Ulefone Power 2 is a large battery, which is reflected in the appearance. Taking smartphone in hand, you will immediately feel that 210 grams - this is serious. The thickness of almost one centimeter, as compared with other modern smartphones looks at least defiant.

But over time, you stop paying attention to the weight and dimensions, and the weighty solidity of the smartphone even beginning to like. In this case, it is not a disadvantage, but simply a feature of the device, which is caused by the presence of a powerful battery.

Ulefone Power 2 is available in three colors - black, silver and gold. The housing is made of a light metal alloy which is resistant to impacts and scratching. The main controls (power switch and volume button) located on the right side of the thumb. The course of the elastic and clear buttons, making random clicking is almost impossible.

At the lower end of the smartphone placed jack microUSB, hole-in microphone and speaker. The fingerprint reader is built into the multi-function button on the front panel. It can be used not only for the release, but also to perform some other action.

To assemble any comments there - everything is fine. Ulefone Power 2 looks subdued and stylish as befits a serious smart phone.

The fingerprint scanner

Front button - an important structural element of the smartphone. Developers not only have built into it a fingerprint scanner, but also gave its navigation functions. One little touch of equivalent effect "Back" button, a long touch causes a list of open programs and press to move to the desktop. If we press the button and hold it, launch the Google search application.

You can always hide the onscreen buttons and use them instead of the front mechanical button. This will allow a bit to increase the usable area of ​​the screen, and simply more convenient.

As for the fingerprint reader, it works fine. Almost one hundred percent operation at any angle at a speed of 0.15 seconds.

Display and Audio

The display Ulefone Power 2 has a frame, thick enough by today's standards - about 4 millimeters. Personally, I do not see anything wrong with that, because I think frameless smartphones strange whim of fashion that will soon pass.

In set 2 Ulefone Power quality IPS-matrix with good viewing angles and color reproduction. Stock brightness enough for comfortable use even in the street, but if you do not stand in direct sunlight. Oleophobic screen coating provides excellent slip and repels dirt and grease from the surface.

Special thanks I want to say for adequate levels of brightness. Many Chinese manufacturers to inflate like this option, which is why at night you can not use smartphones. In Ulefone Power 2 the minimum value of the brightness makes it comfortable to read, even in total darkness. Additionally, the option settings has Eye Protection, which reduces the radiation of the blue spectrum display.

Smartphone sound quality, with no apparent distortion, even at extreme levels. volume sufficient to scoring system notifications and incoming calls. But the vibrations quite weak - it is not necessary to hope. The playback quality of the headphones I liked. Loud and without obvious failures frequency.

Performance

Although MT6750T processor can not be attributed to the top-end solutions, any performance issues observed. All applications, not to mention the operating system running smoothly and quickly. I can not even imagine the use of scenario in which Ulefone Power 2 would suddenly stop. A large amount of RAM allows you to run multiple demanding applications and instantly switch between them.

Fans of mobile games will also not complain. All kazualki, platformers and puzzle work without problems. As for the clever 3D-games, then there will have to find a compromise between quality and performance. But comfortable to play World of Tanks or last Asphalt real.

Camera

If you want to know what price category belongs to one or the other smartphone, then look at made with the help of photographs. Ulefone Power 2 is no exception to this rule. During the day, in bright light the pictures are quite good, although slightly darkish. Autofocus system works well, the flash fires only when needed.

In the evening, there are additional noise and digital interference. It is possible to neutralize the sensitivity settings and HDR mode, but ideal pictures still do not get it. We can not say that the main camera is quite poor. Rather, it is usual for this class of devices and price range.

But I liked the front-facing camera. This is one of the few smartphones that uses a high-quality lens for the front camera, so make excellent selfie.

autonomy

Trump Ulefone Power 2 - battery. The developers managed to fit in a fairly compact body Sony lithium-polymer battery capacity of 6050 mAh. The ads promise that it should be enough for a few days full use.

Very pleased that in this case, advertising is not cheating. During testing Ulefone Power 2 worked on one charge of four days, the total time of use of the screen was about eight hours. All these days the smartphone has been used in normal mode - online, tutorials, music, a little video and casual games. Continuously included Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.

It seems to me an excellent result. Let me remind you that the smartphone supports fast charging technology that allows energy to make up for a very short time. For a charge of from 2 to 100% it took only one and a half hours.

Software

The operating system in Ulefone Power 2 uses Android 7.0 Nougat. Supports wireless system upgrade: a patch that eliminates small errors of testing time was released. In terms of performance, efficiency and stability of the software there are no issues.

The only thing I did not like how the developers have modified the appearance of the operating system. We have become accustomed to that every manufacturer strives to give your product a unique look, but usually it ends the change of icons and wallpapers in the launcher.

Programmers Ulefone this was not enough, so they change all the icons and buttons on the operating system. It is not foreseen the possibility to refuse this change or apply some other theme.

In addition, a lot of additional features have been added to the operating system, which is commonly found in custom firmware: control gestures unlock double tapom, functional control of one menu hand. Geeks these functions exactly like.

results

The main advantage of Ulefone Power 2 - a battery that is fair stand for several days without recharging. I am sure that for many readers this will be a decisive factor when choosing a smartphone.

Furthermore, the device has a large capacity internal memory and RAM, running the latest version is completed and Android rich set of additional accessories. For all this, the manufacturer offers to pay 170 dollars.

Before you buy a smartphone, make sure that you fit the weight and size of this gadget. Owners of large and strong hands have nothing to fear, but the female half is better to look for another model.

The author expresses his gratitude to the company Ulefone for providing the test sample.
