Android is everywhere, especially in Indian. Here this mobile os rules the smart phone industry in almost all price facilitates. Yet, in the popular industry - Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000 - there is not a single cellphone that we can recommend without any caveats.
Samsung tried to address this problem with Universe Huge last season. It was a reasonable cellphone but in our opinion decreased short of being a great popular system.
Now, we have a heir to Universe Huge. You thought it right: the new system is called Universe Huge 2. On paper, it looks much better than Universe Huge.
Is this the product you should buy if you are looking to spend somewhere between Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 on your next phone?
We have an answer today.
Glossy nasty out, artificial set in
Samsung mobile phones and shiny nasty go side in side. But last season with Universe Observe 3, New samsung decided to fix it, even if only partly. Observe 3 came with a backcover created of artificial set. Huge 2 uses a identical backcover. We say identical and not the same. Compared with the backcover on the Observe 3, which felt nearer to set, this one seems nearer to nasty. Still, it is better than the slim shiny nasty that New samsung has used so far on its mobile phones.
The rest of the body is created of nasty. But it seems durable. The nasty frame with artificial firefox finish fits the cellphone very well. The completing and construction is high quality.
Compared to its forerunner, Huge 2 is partly longer. It features in a 5.25-inch display in comparison to 5-inch one on its forerunner. But it is also smaller by around one millimetre. You won't notice this distinction unless you decide the measure the dimensions of the gadgets with a caliper.
The distinction between the width of Huge and Huge 2 is, however, recognizable. Huge 2 is slimmer by little less than 1mm. It is still large at 8.9mm in comparison to a system like Lenovo Feel X. But in comparison to Huge, the deficiency of additional fat makes Huge 2 look better.
In conditions of style, Huge 2 does not vary from the Samsung's recent Universe mobile phones. It follows the same design - curved sides, one physical home button, touch-sensitive selection and returning control buttons, the digicam component in the middle of the returning cover with LED display on the left and presenter gaps on the right. It is a acquainted style and hence a little tedious but it performs well.
Grand 2 is powered by a quad-core processor processor created by Qualcomm. It is a Snapdragon 400 processor (MSM8226) running at 1.2GHz with Andreno 305 design processor processor. The cellphone has 1.5GB RAM, a display with 720P quality, 8GB internal storage space (around 5.1GB is customer accessible), an 8MP main digicam with ability to capture FullHD video clips and a 1.9MP front digicam. Battery power has a capacity of 2600 mAh. You can add more storage space through a microsSD card. The cellphone facilitates 2 SIM cards. Both SIM can be active at the same time for calls and messages but for 3G data connection, you can use only one SIM at some point.
Plays high-end activities (sort of)
For last one season or so, in popular industry New samsung is giving mobile phones that may absence any attention-grabbing functions but are useful and reliable. Huge 2 drops in the same classification.
This is a fairly quick cellphone. Applications open quickly and the cellphone doesn't seem to drop any facilitates while a customer scrolls through the installed apps. Pinch-to-zoom while web browsing is sleek and so is multi-tasking. GPS performs effectively. Most of the video and music types are managed without need for a third-party app like MX Player. If you have MP4 video clips in FullHD, you can play them on Huge 2 with ease. The presenter is noisy enough to fill a small room with sound.
Yet, Huge 2 is not a cellphone that analyzes well to high-end Android os gadgets, especially Nexus 5 that costs just a few thousands rupees more. There is periodic lag in user interface. The web browser doesn't load websites as quick as it does on a high-end cellphone.
What matters, however, is that in comparison to other popular Android os mobile phones, Huge 2 offers better efficiency and encounter. New samsung has enhanced the Touchwiz user interface well and it performs better than the user interface that companies like Gionee, Lenovo and Huawei are putting in their mobile phones.
Touchwiz will look acquainted to anyone who has used a New samsung cellphone in the last one season. The symbols are brilliant and not as flat or sleek looking as the symbols in stock Android os user interface. But they are not showy or cartoonish. The laptop key-board remains the same and hence mostly annoying to use (thankfully you can install a different keyboard). Touchwiz comes with a number of improvements. Intelligent gesture-based functions like Intelligent Stay, which paths your look and keeps the display on if you are looking at the product, are ineffective. Half of time they don't perform. Included applications like My Journal and New samsung Hub do not yet have enough content to make them a part of the excellent consumer encounter. But the multi-window method, which allows a customer to perform on two apps at the same time, is useful.
Mainstream activities like Upset Parrots and Sweets Grind run well on Huge 2. The touchscreen display screen reaction is quick and there are no recognizable decreased facilitates. Games like Road 8, which require top-notch elements to run well, can be performed on Huge 2. We experienced our classes of driving through dirty streets in Road 8 on Huge 2, but we did see some lag during gaming.
In conditions of elements, the three most key elements are display, digicam and battery power. On all three, Huge 2 is above average.
Screen shows rich and soaked colors. The colors don't modify or get tedious if you modify your watching position. The 720P quality on a 5.25-inch display is not as distinct as a FullHD (1080P screen) but the distinction is not recognizable unless you are reading an ebook. For all practical reasons the display in Huge 2 is distinct, clear, bright and brilliant.
The efficiency of the main digicam pleased us. In sunlight, the efficiency is very excellent. We found the pictures shot with Huge 2 to have excellent focus, reasonable amount of detail and excellent colors. It tends to over-process and add additional bit of improving, but overall Huge 2 is a capable shooting. It especially mouse clicks sharply-focused and detailed closeup photos.
