    Lack of Google play, small memory, camera sucks, dirty cover and volume.

The concept of a smart watch, with which you can make calls, send messages, listen to music, and even watch photos and videos, is by no means new. The most common subtype now is a watch as an addition to a smartphone. To read incoming message or turn up the volume of the media player, you don’t have to reach into your pocket for a “shovel” - just press the corresponding button on the gadget hanging on the wrist of your left hand. Similar devices have repeatedly appeared in the news headlines, and we even managed to test a couple of such toys.

However, with the advent of the Samsung Galaxy Gear, the theme received new life. Koreans have now become very big and serve as the locomotive of all Android. So if they did something, it means it’s time for the rest to catch up. Moreover, “Fat” sells well, even despite the very serious price. In general, the largest manufacturer, in online parlance, “upped the topic,” so it would be a sin for smaller companies not to take advantage of free PR and try to offer the buyer their own variations.

Explay N1 on hand

Explay watch-phone belongs to a slightly different type of device than Galaxy Gear or Sony Smartwatch. This is a completely independent gadget that does not require a smartphone to function properly: the N1 can handle all “telephone” tasks on its own. We also previously became acquainted with this type of device, however, those watches were bought in China, and in Russia they and the vast majority of their analogues could only be found from “gray” importers - and for quite a lot of money. Explay N1 is one of the first watch-phones sold in the territory Russian Federation officially. Of course, we couldn’t pass by.

Explay N1 - equipment

The gadget is hardly suitable for spying purposes - the high-tech filling is provided by the large thickness of the case (14 mm) and the speaker protruding from the side. But the device turned out to be very light: the weight of the watch with battery is just over fifty grams. It is assumed that the watch should be on the hand at all times. Explay N1 can hang on your wrist all day without any problems - your hand doesn’t get tired from them. After all, this is not a 100-gram Rolex.

Meet Explay N1

The watch is made in black. Along the side edges of the case there is a silver edging stylized as metal - a very popular solution among traditional smartphones. On the left side there is a combined power and lock button and a microUSB interface covered with a flap.

Regular analog watches look very tiny compared to Explay N1

The back cover of the gadget is removable. Where an analog watch has a miniature round battery, the Explay N1 hides a 1.3 Wh battery (350 mAh, 3.7 V). However, he is also miniature. Below it are slots for a full-size SIM card and MicroSD card.

Explay N1 runs on its own operating system, and not on the ubiquitous Android. Because of this, the functionality of the gadget is somewhat limited - you cannot download additional applications to the watch; you will have to make do with only the pre-installed ones. However, the built-in set of utilities is quite enough - you can’t play Angry Birds at such a compact device. Everything you might need is included in the device - from a stopwatch to a voice recorder. To complete the picture, the only thing missing is a calculator - it’s very strange that there isn’t one.

Explay N1 - menu

There are no complaints about the ergonomics of the gadget. All the inconveniences that may arise during the operation of the watch are due to the small 1.44-inch screen. The first couple of days you will have to get used to it, then interacting with it will not cause any difficulties. The display is well calibrated - in most cases it responds accurately to pressing. In the settings there is a backlight level control, however, even if you set it to maximum, under direct sunlight the display fades very much, the information on it becomes almost unreadable.

To save power, the device's display is turned off by default. In order for him to wake up, you need to press the corresponding key on the left side. Then the clock will live up to its name and display the current time in an analogue version. To unlock the screen, swipe your finger from left to right. The device deftly deals with such gestures, although they should be “drawn” slowly. It is quite comfortable to talk for hours only with a connected headset, which, by the way, is better not to lose - finding the same one will not be easy. The fact is that the built-in speaker does not have a very large volume reserve, and interlocutors periodically complained about not very good audibility. Only very reserved and patient people can type SMS messages on such a small screen. The type of people you can make nails out of.

General characteristics

Type

Deciding on 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 select the phone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.

At the end of 2013, the Russian company introduced to the domestic market the most which compares favorably with its predecessors in its price range and characteristics. The Explay N1 smartphone, the reviews and capabilities of which we will consider, will delight fans of inexpensive mobile devices with a powerful dual-core processor, the ability to connect a pair of SIM cards at once, minimal weight and the Android 4.2 operating system. The communicator has high performance and stable operation of all functional solutions, copes even with complex tasks without any delay or delay. The mobile device is available in several colors: black, red, purple and white. By the way, in this regard, we can say that the Explay N1 Black smartphone is considered very interesting; user reviews indicate that this model is more official and classic. The surprises don't end there. In addition to the communicator, the manufacturer released Explay tablet N1 (reviews from thrifty users are positive) with a seven-inch screen and low cost.

Equipment

The smartphone's packaging box is made of thick cardboard, with the company logo, the name of the gadget, characteristics and general information. The communicator is supplied with a charger, an instruction manual and

Design

By appearance The smartphone is no different from ordinary budget mobile devices. This became the reason for criticism of the Explay N1: reviews from some users suggest that they were waiting for a certain highlight in the device. All color variations of this smartphone model, except white, have a black trim on the body panel. Explay N1 users are especially pleased (reviews confirm this) that the smartphone can be purchased in accordance with one’s own preferences, because, as already mentioned, the device is available in several color options. The back cover is matte and does not show fingerprints. Here it is worth paying attention again to the Explay N1 Black smartphone; reviews confirm that dirt on it is completely invisible. The phone is pleasant and comfortable to hold in your hand, although the surface of the body is smooth and slips a little. The weight of the mobile device is 109 grams, dimensions are 116 x 62 x 14 mm. Near the front panel, part of the body is made of glossy, and the rest of the surface is made of matte plastic.

Try to handle your phone as carefully as possible. As an example, we examined several opinions about the Explay N1 Plus. Reviews allow us to conclude that, despite the fact that the screen is covered with a special protective film, it peels off very quickly, and scratches and abrasions form on the display. If used improperly, the device may soon lose its presentation. Its price, of course, is small, but it’s still unpleasant. If the protective film has become unusable, it is easier to stick a new one and maintain the attractive appearance of the smartphone.

Explay N1: reviews on production quality

The assembly of the smartphone is quite high quality, except for a small gap between back cover and body. We've looked into what people are saying about the Explay N1 Black. Reviews confirm that the device does not crunch, squeak or make any extraneous sounds when compressed, which happens with some models of budget smartphones.

Side view

The back side of the device is smooth and even and does not bend when pressed in the area where the battery is located. On the top of the front panel there is a speech speaker, which also functions as a device for speakerphone. At an average volume the interlocutor can be heard perfectly, mostly high frequencies, no echo, extraneous noise and rattling. For a budget smartphone, such indicators are very rare. Near the speaker there is a proximity sensor that responds to touch clearly and quickly; no unauthorized screen activations were noted. Below the display are the usual functional touch buttons “Menu”, “Back” and “Home”. They are highlighted with silver paint, but since there is no backlight, it is difficult to use them in a dark room. There is a microphone at the bottom end of the device, and a connector for charger, headset and USB cable. On the left is the volume key, it extends slightly to the back side. The power button is located in the upper right corner of the smartphone; it is convex, responds instantly to pressing, and does not have to be pushed into the device with force. On the back there is a camera that rises slightly and stands out above the body. If you need to remove the cover, use a flat object or your fingers to pry it up from the notch located in the lower left corner. Under "cover" we can see removable battery, slots for a pair of SIM cards and a slot for a memory card.

Display

The screen of the Explay N1 model is small, its diagonal is 3.5 inches. Compared to five-inch modern smartphones at first glance it seems that this is not enough. 320 x 480 pixels, 164 pixels density. These figures are quite decent for a budget smartphone. As for the disadvantages of Explay N1, user reviews draw attention to low quality TFT matrices. The fact is that when tilted, there are practically no viewing angles, color rendition is not the best, and when the screen is rotated, the shades become completely faded. There is no light sensor in the mobile device. The brightness is manually adjustable, its range is wide, and the quality is high. Touch screen responds immediately when acted upon, supports up to two presses on the display simultaneously. The screen of the smartphone is capacitive, there should be no problems with its functioning.

Charge

In view of small sizes screen, not too much gluttony battery life gadget and a simple matrix, such a battery will last up to five hours of talking, up to six hours of scrolling through Internet pages, up to two hours of watching videos, or about seven hours of reading at medium brightness. The smartphone operates only in 2G cellular networks. There is built-in Bluetooth 4.0 to transfer files, you can also use Wi-Fi. The device can be used as a modem or as an access point. By wireless connection or mobile communications you can determine your location. The Explay N1 device does not support GPS (user reviews also mention this) as a separate function.

Removable media

The Explay N1 smartphone has a built-in RAM 256 MB, of this amount 100 MB can be used, RAM is used for various functions mobile device. For such money you can’t expect more, but the offered memory is enough to perform basic tasks. If you plan to use additional media, there is a special slot under the back cover and battery for it. You can save videos, photos and data up to 32 GB on it.

Smartphone Explay N1: quality reviews filming

You will be pleasantly surprised by the camera in this budget communicator, because in some inexpensive phones it simply doesn't exist. There is no front sensor, and the main module is 1.3 megapixels. The quality of the photos leaves much to be desired, but this is not surprising given such characteristics and the absence of a flash. You need to shoot in good lighting; sometimes the camera produces images that can easily compete with photos taken on a tablet. 860 x 480, while the recording quality is at an average level. But the sound of the smartphone is high quality and high. Multimedia applications in a mobile device are standard, used to play video, music or radio.

The multimedia functions of smartphones always attract increased attention from users, because otherwise it would be enough to purchase a regular mobile phone to make calls and send messages. There were no problems loading Internet pages; they opened quite quickly. The quality of the headset is good, the sound is slightly above average, in most cases the mid frequencies can be heard, the high frequencies are a little overwhelmed, and the low frequencies are hardly noticeable. Since the ringing speaker is also a conversational speaker, its volume is low. Videos can be viewed with a resolution of 800 x 600 megapixels. This mobile device Great for novice users. The model is equipped with a dual-core 1 GHz. The smartphone does not have GPS and 3G. Built-in operating system - Google Android 4.2.2. Everything works smoothly, there are no glitches or slowdowns.

The disadvantages include the low quality of the screen and camera matrix, lack of navigation, Google applications and the presence of only one speaker.
