New UI and useful features. Specifications Vkworld VK700X

Market mobile devices full of various new products that surprise us with one or another of their features and characteristics. The cheapest smartphone released since protective glass 3. It is called VKWorld VK700X. Reviews about the device, information about its characteristics, as well as our findings will be discussed in this article. And we will start it with a description of the concept of this model, with the designation of what it is characteristic of and differs from others.

Positioning

As already noted, the smartphone about which we have prepared in the following sections of the article) is positioned in the budget niche. At least, this is evidenced by the title "cheapest" in one category or another. The availability of a model can also be indicated by its technical characteristics. In particular, this rAM 1GB and MTK6580 processor.

However, you should not immediately enroll the device in the category of "cheap Chinese", which have overestimated technical characteristics and are not able to perform the simplest actions stably. We will spend more detailed overview all systems of the device and try to make a single picture about it.

Appearance

Let's start describing the device with a description of its design - how the model looks like and from what components it is assembled. So, outwardly, the model resembles either Apple's technology, or some kind of “flagship” from Samsung: this is evidenced by the chrome bezel on the side faces, which is visible even from afar. It definitely makes the model more expensive.

Separately, we can note the view of the front side of the smartphone. It has the classic navigation buttons represented by icon lights. Other than that, there is no other expression for these buttons anymore. But the combination of the black-painted front part and the shiny "metallic", which covers the sides and back, looks very nice. It turns out a rather spectacular combination of metal and glass, from which the VKWorld VK700X phone is made. Reviews also write that design is one of the strengths devices.

I would also like to note the attractive oval volume control buttons and the screen lock release button (also made of metal).

The back of the device is made of plastic, it has a round camera eye with a flash, and there is also an inscription vkworld. Below is the hole for the speaker.

Screen

The phone that we characterize in this article is equipped with a 5-inch display, so it can be called classic in size. As for the outer coating, here it is established Gorilla Glass 3, which we already mentioned at the very beginning of the article. To prove that it has increased durability, the smartphone's “crash test” is shown in a promotional video. The reviews describing the VKWorld VK700X model confirm the stability of the smartphone glass.

As for the technical characteristics of the screen, it has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It should also be noted that the display operates on the basis of IPS technology, which can characterize it as one that has high brightness, good picture quality (image density of 294 ppi is a confirmation of this) and excellent color reproduction.

CPU

Of course, the “heart” of each mobile device deserves special attention - the processor, which determines the performance of the model. In the case of VKWorld VK700X, reviews indicate that this solution is used for budget devices, which, frankly, shows not the highest stability. But with the refresh rate of the image of a 4-core processor, everything is fine - each core has a frequency of 1.5 GHz.

Concerning gPU, then in this case ARM Mali-400 MP1 is used.

The RAM installed on the phone has a volume of 1 GB.

Camera

When characterizing any smartphone, it is important to indicate the parameters of its camera. In the case of VKWorld VK700X, reviews note the presence of two cameras - the main one and the front one (with a resolution of 8 and 5 megapixels, respectively). In addition to the camera, the device also comes with a powerful LED flash, which allows you to take high-quality pictures even in low light conditions.

The main camera supports the ability to shoot videos in 1080p quality.

Communication

The device, according to official information, does not have support for working with 4G networks, instead there are 2G / 3G modules. The device operates at all frequencies supported by standard devices. At the same time, it is worth noting the presence of two SIM card slots, which makes the model somewhat more versatile: the user can significantly save on payment for services mobile communicationchoosing different operators to purchase services of one nature or another (for example, call from one operator, and use the Internet from another). Speaking of communication modules, it is important to note GPS, USB support.

NFC function for contactless payment there are no accounts using a smartphone.

Autonomy

Almost any Android device has such a problem as lack of optimization in work. As a result, you can observe a gradual reduction in the duration of the device, its rapid loss of charge. Avoid discharging your gadget at the wrong time unless you replace the battery or buy additional so-called Power banks. With them, you can extend the life of the device.

The reviews describing the VKWorld VK700X MTK6580A model also confirm the existence of this problem. Whatever the device, the size of its battery is limited by the physical parameters of the device. Due to this, it is not necessary to talk about its long-term operation, and even when using a colorful screen, which actively consumes a charge. Therefore, we can say that the 2200 mAh battery, which is installed on the original VKWorld VK700X, is called not the most “hardy” battery. At least in the mode of watching video via Wi-Fi connection, 15-17% of the battery disappears in one hour. The Android operating system also plays an important role in this, which also consumes battery power quite actively.

Software

By the way, speaking of the device's firmware and its platform, Anroid Lollipop 5.1 should be noted, which may be updated to the next, sixth version in the future. In fact, if the smartphone software is based on the classic "Android", then the graphical interface is "non-native". The fact that it has been modified is shown by slightly modified icons - they seem smaller and have more rounded corners.

There are also some “non-native” additional functions. For example, with the left button, you can call the menu responsible for the visual design of the system (effects, smooth transitions, style of opening windows). There is also an item “Smart movement”. The idea behind it is to be able to call any function while the phone is in sleep mode.

Are there many original devices that can amaze with their appearance, without limiting the price? interesting both for its novelty and compliance with the budget trend. Ultra-thin and sophisticatedly stylish, the VK700X is one of the most anticipated upgrades to the Vkworld line.

The anticipation of the novelty was felt from the start of 2015 - right after the release of the Pro version on the market. The excitement was explained simply: the old Android 4.4 lost the trust of the pool of buyers focused on buying an inexpensive smartphone. And in the same 2015, this device entered!

Search driven good quality for small (within $ 100) money, 73% of buyers predictably chose it as a reasonable alternative to premium class phones. With the advent of the original VK700X, the market trend survey shows a completely different dynamics of demand.

Specifications Vkworld VK700X

The degree of competition has increased for a reason: 8 months ago, budget devices with two SIM cards caused only one analogy - not too powerful 2-core phones. And the first official review Chinese smartphone VK700X sent this stamp to the archive of IT history:

• vK700X processor - 4-core;
• clock frequency - 1.5 GHz;
• modification - MTK6580A.

Such technical characteristics are a successful marketing move from the modest corporation Vkworld, which cannot but rejoice. Interestingly, MTK processors are actively used by the Chinese market giant Meizu for integration into.

As for the rest of the VK700X stuffing, the long-awaited change from Android 4.4 to the modern 5.1 Lollipop version attracts, which actually means the opportunity to buy a device without having experienced OS bugs. The only moment that generates skeptical reviews is 1 GB of RAM. Compensation:

• inner memory - 8 GB;
• support for memory cards up to 64 GB;
• integrated Google play.

Conceptual design

Do you have a feeling that it would be difficult to “stir up” the discerning audience of AliExpress with such parameters? The developers have done a great job, diversifying the range of online stores with a simple but elegant device. So, VK700X is remembered:

• ultra-thin (7.2 mm);
• proportionality (70 mm wide with a length of 142);
• a 5-inch display (just 0.2 less than the pretentious one).

The color scheme of the case also stands apart. It is curious that to the colors originally announced by the Chinese manufacturer (monochrome black / white and "gold"), immediately after the start of sales on Aliexpress (← you can go to see the prices for this and other Vkworld brands) it turned out: the colors are not 3, but 7. Therefore, if you wish, you can abandon the classic tones and buy VK700X with a sunny yellow or defiant red body. The most interesting of the "additional" options is fruit green.

Not uniform in appearance

Interestingly, even put together technical specifications, design refinements, originality and impressive VK700X reviews could not have had the effect that several videos from official site Vkworld... The very same videos where the poor guy's smartphone is dropped and tortured, almost using it “to hammer nails with a microscope”.

This provocative joke was not without a rational approach - the phone is really reliable and original! Leaving the base plastic, the developers were not too lazy to equip the model:

• metal rim;
• streamlined body;
• gorilla Glass.

Ultra-durable and shockproof, this 3D glass is a top protector for smartphones (among analogues, only Doogee F3 Pro is similar). Therefore, nails are not nails, but nothing really happens to the VK700X screen from falling onto the tiled floor.

Honey without tar?

Since the selection criteria are always different, reviews may "suffer" from subjectivity, and an online store may not provide comprehensive information, the search for a suitable budget gadget of good quality is usually fraught with risk. The new product from Vkworld minimizes these risks with a kind of "gentleman's set" of parameters:

• multilingual (Russification is included);
• built-in GPS, Bluetooth, Hot knot functions;
• modules cellular communication GSM and WCDMA.

Even not the most powerful - as for a Chinese device - the "pixel" cameras (front 5, rear - 8) VK700X is forgivable: the resolution of 1280x720 and the increased contrast level of the screen allow you not to worry about decent quality. Additional plus - reliable graphics chip last generation Mali 400 MP1.

They didn't lie!

It is noteworthy that the manufacturers chose the slogan "The Cheapest!" As the VK700X motto long before the release, hinting opaquely that the 2015 upgrade will become the standard of budget models. The analysis of the offers of the top sellers of Aliexpress is impartial - this is really so: the price range of the new item does not go beyond $ 68 (there are offers for $ 57).

Considering the market shortage of inexpensive phones with two SIM cards, which do not look like "hello from the past", the dynamics of the popularity of VK700X can be easily explained: for all its small flaws, this original smartphone looks stylish, easily "sits" in the hand, does not upset with technical characteristics and pleases at a modest price.

Now look at how this device can be used not only for its intended purpose 🙂:

VKWORLD is a brand owned by the Chinese company Shenzhen RuiErSheng and has nothing to do with a cult for any Russian social network... The company is quite young - founded in 2009 - however, it has already managed to enter into cooperation with leading trading platforms (sort of), enter the Indian, European and Russian (!) markets and release a number of remarkable and original gadgets.

More details

What makes VKWORLD smartphones special?

Manufacturer mobile phones VKWORLD on the official website states that the company is aware of the oversaturation of the electronics market and, against the background of a huge number of competitors, seeks to stand out due to innovation and low prices. And this is 100% true: the devices of the VK-WORLD catalog now and then flicker in news feeds, being recognized as "the best" according to completely different criteria. For example, the T2 model, announced by the manufacturer just a couple of months ago, will certainly delight users who are nostalgic for "zero" with their push-button "dialers". The T2 is the world's first clamshell smartphone. Not only is the idea itself original - the developers also approached its implementation outside the box. The T2 received a pair of 4-inch screens - external and internal.

The manufacturer VKWORLD wins over not only with its courage in introducing innovations and a radical approach to the design of mobile devices, but also with its concern for the consumers of its products. The company is investing heavily in the development of new technologies that can make the use of gadgets safer and the devices themselves less expensive to operate. In particular, the new May 2017 VKWORLD T6 is equipped with a unique Low Blue Light technology, which reduces the level of blue backlight of the screen and at the same time the load on the user's optic nerve. Thanks to Low Blue Light, owners of the T6 do not have to worry about the fact that constant Internet surfing will lead them to an optometrist.

In 2017, the manufacturer VKWORLD acquired its own warehouse in Russia. For domestic fans of the Chinese brand, this is truly great news - now they will be able to purchase the company's products without intermediaries' extra charges and receive the ordered gadgets within a few days. The expansion of the company, obviously, will not stop in Russia - the Chinese manufacturer has already shared its "Napoleonic" plans to conquer the markets of America and Southeast Asia in the next few years.

Today we present to you smartphone review VKWorld S8, which is a kind of "killer" mixture Samsung Galaxy S8 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. To the market this model entered in 2017. What is it remarkable for?

We are ours phone review VKworld s8, of course, with the bundle. It is about her that you can say a lot of interesting things about the company and the phone itself. The box is made of very thick cardboard with information about the device printed on it. It is available in black and navy blue. In addition to VK World C8, the set includes:

• Quick start guide and warranty card. There are many languages \u200b\u200bin this manual, including English. Here you can also find safety recommendations and other useful information.
• USB Type C-cable. Surprisingly, it was put with a smartphone in the budget price segment.
• USB network adapter with Euro plug. It supports technology fast charging 9 Volts, 2 Amperes. This charger also has a cable.
• A clip for a sim-tray.
• USB-C-adapter for headphones with mini jack.
• Another nice bonus is the silicone transparent case. Also as a gift - a protective film on the screen. Manufacturers do not often put such things even on flagships.

In general, the equipment is excellent. In terms of the quality of materials, everything is at an acceptable level for a state employee.

Appearance

Vkworld C8 is a very decent looking device. It leaves a very pleasant first impression. Perhaps this is because it looks like the Galaxy S8. The build quality is surprisingly excellent. Back panel made of tempered Gorilla Glass. There is a notification LED on the top of the front. The dimensions of the device are 158 by 75 millimeters. The frame of the gadget is made of titanium alloy.

On the right side there is a power button, on the top there is a slot for two nano-sim cards, or, as is often accepted now, you can install one SIM card and one microSD memory card. Such is the hybrid slot that will surprise no one even now.

There is a volume rocker on the left side. On the bottom - holes for the microphone, speaker and uSB connector Type C. The speaker produces a fairly loud and high-quality sound. The front panel houses the front 5 Megapixel camera. It is "planted" in the lower right corner, similar to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.

Many users have noticed that it is inconvenient to use the on-off button. It is far away. The volume rocker could also be made a little lower. Otherwise, it is a very nice looking smartphone.

Screen

As mentioned earlier, the Vk world C8 screen is covered with Gorilla Glass 4 tempered glass, which has already proven its properties on other devices and is not bad. Specifications display VKworld s8 - diagonal 5.99 inches with Full HD-resolution. The aspect ratio is 18 by 9. The screen resolution is 2160 by 1080 pixels.

The manufacturer calls the screen of this budget employee - Infinity display, that is, frameless. On three sides, it is really almost frameless, only the bottom panel is quite wide. The display is installed here from LG.

Thanks to this structure, it is very pleasant to watch videos on such a large screen. You are not distracted by any additional on-screen buttons. The percentage of usable usable area here is 91%. There are "smart" gestures, for example, to take a screenshot with a three-finger swipe or hang up a call by turning the device over. In general, a whole gallery of gestures is available. Everyone here will find something for themselves.

The display color can be customized "for yourself" using a special menu.

Performance and battery

What is the filling of this state employee? An eight-core 64-bit processor, Mediatek 6753, is installed. Its maximum frequency is 1.5 GigaHertz. There is plenty of internal memory here and even more than enough not only for everyday tasks - 4 Gigabytes of operational and 64 Gigabytes of built-in. If suddenly the built-in volume is not enough for you, then you can expand it with a microSD card up to 128 GB by donating one SIM card.

Vkworld C8 works on operating system Android 7.0. It provides 4g communication using LDDLTE technology with 20, 13, 7 and 8 frequency bands. Google preinstalled out of the box Play Market and other standard softwarewhich you may need to get started.

I am glad that almost "naked" Android is installed inside the state employee, which is extremely atypical for small Chinese manufacturers. Over the air LTA update is supported. There is also a Radio and Compass application.

Wireless modules include:

• Blue Tooth version 4.0;
• Wi-Fi.

When there is a load on VKworld s8, it gets very hot. In winter, you can even warm your hands on the back cover.

The smartphone has a 5500 Milliampere / hour battery, which significantly weighs the device down to an impressive 247 grams. The manufacturer claims that this is a Samsung battery. Of course, this is a huge plus for the state employee. It's great that the Chinese manufacturer has added fast charging.

In standby mode, the gadget can work up to 17 days. An hour of the game "sows" Vkworld by 20%, and an hour of video - by 10%. It charges in about 4 hours from 0 to 100%.

Safety

The fingerprint scanner works fine, in principle, no matter how you place your finger. The location of the scanner is the same as that of the Samsung, that is, it is very close to the main camera, which is constantly smeared with it. Naturally, buyers had the same complaints as against the Samsung C8. But after a while you get used to it and almost never miss.

There's also Face ID, which works pretty well overall, but there are issues. For the device to "recognize" the owner, you need to hold it at face level. If you hold it from below, as we usually hold the phone, then it already works badly, or does not work at all. It is very easy to carry out it even with the help of black and white photography, or using a photo from another gadget. This problem still exists even in flagships. The function is not very convenient due to the location front camera from below.

Camera

On the back side of VKworld there is a main Sony photo module with 13 Megapixels. And an extra 5 Megapixels. To the left of the camera is an LED flash, and to the right is a fingerprint scanner, like Samsung, the problem of which we have already discussed above.

The camera settings are very advanced. It can be adjusted to your liking. Top - additional settings camera flashes, which, by scrolling left and right, you can change the shooting mode - photo, video, panorama and more. In addition to this, various face beautification settings have been added, the effect of large eyes, the quality of which is surprisingly good.

Autofocus on both the main and front cameras works perfectly. But the location of the front camera is not very good. To take a selfie - you need to rotate the phone 180 degrees, but the screen rotation itself does not work.

The colors in the pictures are vivid. Detailing without any complaints. In general, the photos for the state employee are good. On a 10-point scale of 7-8, they are definitely pulling.

Results and price

Our Vkworld s8 review is coming to an end, let's summarize. The chinese smartphone makes a good impression, both in appearance and in its filling. Vk World S8 is a great budget alternative to the Galaxy S8. The price, in principle, is not very high, and on a number of sites the device can be purchased for about 10 thousand rubles.

A new video review of the Vkworld s8 phone in Russian, see below

The Chinese company VK World entered the mobile gadgets market with a sentimental mission to remind us of the good old days with push-button telephones and the awesome clamshell mechanism that saves our nerves in times of stress :) It would seem why in our time to release an ordinary dialer with a physical keyboard. And really, there is nothing! In general, that's why the Chinese developers in their new smartphone have mixed such a good "stuffing" from everything that just came to mind. So, let's get acquainted with VK World T2.

Appearance

Frankly speaking, in the case of the VK World T2, there is no need to speak of any elegance according to modern standards. Well, what aesthetics can there be in a 17-mm fat man, whose edges seem to be ripped open with an invisible dagger? "Yes, not any" - you say, and, probably, you will be right. We have lost the habit of “clamshells” and now it's hard to call such a model beautiful. Meanwhile, the T2 is not so bad outwardly.

Based on the strictly rectangular shape of the device and the choice of the color scheme in favor of a single dark blue color, we can conclude that the gadget is more focused on a male audience. A kind of business smartphone, if you like. Why Smartphone? Yes, because both the front panel and the back fully correspond to this title.

The "face" of the gadget is occupied by a 4-inch screen, with a rather narrow bezel on the sides and much wider along the horizontal edges. Under the screen, as we are used to seeing, there are three touch-sensitive buttons, above it - the earpiece mesh, the front camera module and the sensor window.

The element base of the reverse side is represented by the lens of the main camera, whose territory is bordered by a metal "barrier", a section of LED flash and a speaker grill. Not without the company logo. Everything is decorated very well, one might say in a masculine style. And the combination of materials is quite premium, glass and metal.

Next, let's talk about the other side of the coin. As soon as the “clamshell” option is activated by separating the front from the back, we find ourselves in a hidden world. Now the gadget has become noticeably longer and, as it were, divided into two parts: at the top we have another 4-inch display, at the bottom - a button keyboard.

If everything is clear with the screen, then the case with the keyboard cannot do without explanations. A quite usual set of buttons for devices of this kind is supplemented with some new products that duplicate functionality touch buttons on the front panel of the device. These are the Home, Back and Tab Menu keys.

As you can see, the definition of "full stuffing" in relation to VK World T2 is clearly out of place. Nevertheless, this is a distinctive device that will surely find its buyer on the market. After all, breaking the inner screen takes a lot of work. And this means that by accidentally destroying the external display, you will still not be left without communication with the outside world!

Processor, video accelerator

Processor in this device in principle, not bad and is the most common solution in public sector employees. It is about the MediaTek MT6580 chipset, which, in addition to the 4-core processor itself, also includes a 2-core ARM Mali-400 graphics accelerator. A device with such a chipset is not enough stars from the sky, but it is stable in operation. Plus, with the correct selection of characteristics by the manufacturer, you can also aim at solving very difficult software problems.

Memory

In this case, RAM plays one of the defining roles. Here we have 1 GB of RAM, which in no way limits the processor's flexibility. It is quite possible to live with such a capacity, except that it is better not to launch many applications at once. There is 4 GB of storage space for data storage. 4 more busy system files OS.

Screen

The device received a very small screen by modern standards. Its diagonal is only 4 inches, and the resolution corresponds to the ratio 854x480 pixels. It is thanks to the low screen resolution that the use of the MediaTek MT6580 chipset in this smartphone is a normal practice. As you know, the lower the resolution, the less the load on the processor, and, therefore, the more possibilities. Of course, one cannot do without cons, which, in general, boil down to one thing - the screen is small!

Camera

The photographic equipment is not bad enough: the rear camera received an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor and a dual LED flash, and her selfie-friend on the back side takes pictures with an aspect ratio of 2560x1920 pixels.

Communications

The device supports all currently known communication protocols, except 4G.

operating system

Device management is at the mercy of the operating room android system 5.1 Lollipop.

SIM card

The device can accommodate two mini Sim and micro Sim cards.

Battery

Removable integrated into the gadget lithium ion battery with a declared capacity of 2050 mAh. Even despite the small diagonal of the screen and the low power of the processor, such an indicator does not please with the prospect of a large autonomy of the device due to the presence of two screens at once.
