A comment about the phone:
This phone was given to me by my husband in the DR, in September 2014. I still use it, there are no special complaints, except for those indicated above in the "shortcomings".
I would like to note that the screen is just excellent - both the sensitivity and the finger slides over it very gently, without any "slippage" there)), and also, after six months of active use and wearing without a cover, but just in your pocket - there are no scratches! I fell a couple of times - without consequences. The creators of this device are ahead of many brands by several years, it seems to me (of course, in their price category).
All in all, OOOOOoooo a very good model! 4.8
ps It's a pity that it was taken off the market ..
Review # 2 about Explay Neo phone
Great model
Phone experience: several months
Advantages of the phone Stylish "business" design, filling (does not slow down !!!), screen, camera Disadvantages of the phone: Battery, speakers (although not critical), no expansion with memory cards
A comment about the phone:
The phone is really amazing for the given price - bought 3 more months for 6,300. It does not slow down and does not freeze, however, to be honest, at first it hung up and slowed down, BUT, after removing the built-in applications, including applications Ian ... ksa-everything began to work like a clock. no hangs were noticed. True, some, including mail, navigation applications from "I" have been restored and glitches (freezing and brakes) ..... ugh ... ugh ... did not appear)))
-The level of shooting of the camera is quite enough for me, with the condition of using it as daily shooting at work (construction sites) i.e. takes off normally, then it is read to the smallest details and elements already on the computer.
-Dimamics are strange, it's true, but you get used to it quickly, there was of course irritation from the "metallic sound" of the subscriber during a conversation, but this is not always and as I noticed, and not everywhere (for some reason the sound is metallic near the house, but in all the rest it is normal) - most likely related to the quality of service by the operator towers (but I could be wrong).
-Battery very quickly discharges up to 70% within 1-2 hours when using the mobile Internet (just turned on), 2-3 applications such as maps, mail, metro or trains, but then that is. below 70%, the battery is spent very slowly, provided you watch a video .... In general, the phone quietly lives up to the end of the day (i.e., to the outlet around 23 pm).
- the design is very good, when they see, they are genuinely interested without sarcasm "what is this?" - very nice, the thickness of the case, the display and the metal frame.
-connection catches confidently, where we say lumiya 800 and huavei honor do not see anything at all neo catches without problems.
And here's another thing for a long time, so to speak, I was afraid to buy a phone with 5 inches, especially with a body width of more than 71 mm. with my "short fingers, I thought I was tormented, but I got used to it since 2 weeks! so I advise

not really. hung a couple of times in 2 months of use, but the manufacturer immediately wrote how to "treat" it. 10 seconds and again everything is ok. Maybe the sound of the supplied headphones is not very good, but this is for music lovers, it suits me perfectly.

A weak battery for such a pro, if it is not enough to sit in net for a day. Internet eats charging wildly, because 4 cores are threshing not childishly. In addition, the battery is not removable, you cannot replace it. It would be better to make 2 cores of 1.3 each, and the battery is 3000, albeit to the detriment of grace and subtlety. Then there would be no price for this smart.
- SMS over 3 pieces of SMS in length - automatically switches to MMS, that is, it is impossible to write long SMS, this moment is a little upsetting.

After a year of use, it stopped charging, took it to the service. We did everything right, a week later there was another problem with charging, another trip to the service (we did it for a month). I started to overheat, lag, now it doesn't charge again, I'm thinking about replacing the phone.

General characteristics
A type
Determining the type of device (phone or smartphone?) Is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to opt for a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, video, Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly shorter than that of a simple phone.
In modern smartphones, not only ordinary SIM cards can be used, but also their more compact versions of micro SIM and nano SIM. eSIM is a SIM card integrated into the phone. It takes up almost no space and does not require a separate tray for installation. ESIM is not yet supported in Russia. Glossary of terms by category Mobile phones

GSM 900/1800/1900, 3G standard Interfaces
Almost all modern smartphones have Wi-Fi and USB interfaces. Bluetooth and IRDA are less common. Wi-Fi is used to connect to the internet. USB is used to connect the phone to a computer. Many phones also have Bluetooth. It is used to connect wireless headphones, to connect the phone to wireless speakers, and to transfer files. A smartphone equipped with an IRDA interface can be used as a universal remote control.
Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB Satellite navigation
Built-in GPS and GLONASS modules allow you to determine the coordinates of the phone using signals from satellites. In the absence of GPS, a modern smartphone can determine its own location using signals from the base stations of a cellular operator. However, finding coordinates based on signals from satellites is usually much more accurate.
GPSThe modern world has really turned into a kind of mobile platform, where a huge number of different devices are located. Manufacturing companies never cease to amaze us with something new and interesting. Recently, our laboratory received another novelty from Explay, a budget smartphone called Neo. In fact, this is not the main character from the movie "The Matrix", but it has everything that a modern user needs.
Devices from Explay have already visited our laboratory more than once, and each time they more and more surprise us with the practicality and functionality of their solutions. Explay Neo is a direct proof of this. So let's get to know him better.
Availability
The Explay Neo has hit the budget lineup. At the time of testing, according to the Yandex.Market service, the average cost of this smartphone is 7,980 rubles.Explay Neo Specifications

Explay Neo package contents
The device arrives on store shelves in the usual light brown box for Explay, where you can see the main characteristics of the device. The device comes with:- Charger
- Headset
- Special needle
- User manual and warranty card
The developer tried to do everything so that the device would please the eyes of its buyer when opening the box. However, at first, you do not immediately understand why you need a special needle, which looks more like an incomprehensible instrument. This accessory allows you to remove the SIM card cover for its further installation. Quite original.
Explay Neo appearance
Explay Neo got a nice look. The aluminum insert on the edges of the device looks great, and the chrome particles only complement it with their beauty. There are no special complaints about him here. But still, there are some comments.The 5-inch display almost completely covered the front side, but the bottom part received an aluminum insert that perfectly complements the smartphone. On the bottom there are also three touch-sensitive control buttons: menu, home and return to the previous page.
On the upper part of the front side of the smartphone, there is a 5 megapixel front camera, which made us especially happy. The sensors and speaker are also located here. On the top there is only a 3.5 mm headset jack.
The back of the device received a non-removable chrome lid that looks good against the general background. Although fingerprints remain, it is difficult to notice them with the naked eye. There is also a 13 megapixel camera with flash. There is a speaker on the bottom.
On the bottom edge of the device there is a charger connector and a microphone, which is covered with an aluminum cover.
On the left side there is a slot for micro SIM-1
On the right side there is a slot for micro SIM-2, a volume rocker and an on / off button for the device.
As we already said, the back cover is non-removable, which means that access to the battery is closed for users. There is also no micro SD card slot, which suggests that the memory for use is approximately 12 GB. For some, this is more than enough, but fastidious users who are used to installing 32 GB memory cards in their gadgets to download music and video files are unlikely to be delighted.
There is one more small nuance: in order to get or install a micro SIM card, you will have to carry a special needle that comes with the device, because without such a solution, the user will not be able to open the cover from the micro SIM. So if you often travel to different cities of the country and have to change SIM-cards, it will not be very convenient to do this.
Explay Neo display
Explay Neo got under its control an IPS-matrix with a diagonal of 5 inches with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. We did not have any comments here. The viewing angles of the smartphone are excellent, bright and rich colors are pleasing to the eyes. The Explay Neo display supports up to 5 touches simultaneously. The sensor responds very well, no braking was noticed.
Explay Neo Battery
The 2000 mAh battery is enough for one day of operation (in moderate mode). And even under heavy load, the device showed very good results: in Antutu Tester Explay Neo got 5584 points, and for a budget smartphone this is very good.Explay Neo filling
The device received a fairly powerful quad-core processor MediaTek 6582 with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz, which is complemented by a Mali-400 graphics chip. Explay Neo runs on Android 4.2.2, which is enough for a full-fledged work.
The user has access to about 12 GB of memory out of 16 GB in the phone, without the possibility of expanding it using a micro SD card. In fact, all this is enough to download various programs, games, music, a couple of films with periodic replacement to your device. Although the manufacturer removed the ability to expand the memory on its own, he gave 16 GB of built-in memory, which is enough for the average user.
Communication Explay Neo
As for SIM-cards, everything is according to the standard. For each micro SIM, you can set your preferences for use, for example, choose one for the Internet, and the second for calls and SMS messages. But you won't be able to talk on SIM1 and SIM2 at the same time. There were no problems with communication, the interlocutor heard us perfectly, just as we heard him.
It is a pleasure to work on the Internet through Explay Neo, the 5-inch display is enough for surfing the world wide web, chatting with your friends, watching videos and listening to music.
Explay Neo Camera
13 MP main and 5 MP front cameras are one of the main advantages of the budget Explay Neo smartphone. There are a huge number of functions that allow you to create masterpieces.
The user is given the opportunity to use additional effects: changing ISO, shooting in HDR, in Full HD resolution and much more. Note that the camera has got very useful shooting modes. Take, for example, a revived photo and removal of objects, few devices can boast of such weapons in their camera. It should also be noted that you can take 360-degree panoramic shots or use the automatic retouching function (see the video review for details). Photos from the main camera:
Explay Neo software
Explay Neo runs on Android 4.2.2 operating system and has received small but nice additions.
For example, the Case-case function, which allows the user to unlock the phone screen using finger movements, or without much effort, without pressing any buttons, to answer a call, etc.
Otherwise, everything is habitually pleasing to the eyes. However, there are small nuances: for example, you will not find Google Play in your phone, it was replaced by Yandex.Store, but this is not a problem, the software can always be downloaded from the Internet and downloaded to your phone.
In fact, Explay Neo already initially has everything that is enough for a full-fledged work: a movie poster, a navigator, programs for audio and video and much more (details in the video review).
Explay Neo testing
The device showed very good results. In Antutu Benchmark, the Explay Neo smartphone scores 15 335 points.
Also Explay Neo was tested in the Vellamo program and showed itself quite well. Here are the results:

Results for Explay Neo
So let's sum up the budget smartphone Explay Neo. The device has received a serious filling, which allows it to compete even with a higher class of smartphones. The 13 megapixel camera allows you to take quality photos and make great videos. Of course, it has small drawbacks, for example, a non-removable battery and the absence of a memory card slot, but the manufacturer compensates for all this with other pleasant solutions.
