► Appearance and equipment

The phone comes in a compact box:


The package is wide: the phone itself, headphones, charger, USB cable, a second 2500 mAh battery, protective film and a cover.


Fasten the phone in the case with velcro:


Externally, the design is similar to one well-known phone model:


Behind a slightly different location of the camera and flash:


The small Power button is on the right:


Volume rocker - left:

The buttons are conveniently located, and unlike the Lenovo P780, they can be used without intercepting the phone.

There is only a 3.5mm headphone jack on top:

microUSB input is located below.

Next to the physical button “Home” there are 2 sensory - “Menu” and “Back”:


Speaker and front camera:


Under the back cover is already quite the expected form: a battery, 2 slots for SIM-cards, a slot for microSD cards.


SIM cards work in the “standby” mode, both can take a call, but when talking on one card, the second one will be unavailable. The second microSIM card.

► Screen

The Pulid F13 is equipped with a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080. The manufacturer does not specify whether it is made using OGS technology or not, but judging by the thin frames and excellent viewing angles - this screen is made using OGS technology when the touchscreen and protective glass are one piece, with no air gap in the middle.
Screen with excellent color reproduction:



The resolution at 1920x1080 does not allow to see pixelation on icons .:


Viewing angles without distortion:



Despite the large size of 5 inches, the phone in your hand is comfortable:

► Wifi

The Wifi signal level through one wall is already nearing the yellow zone of the Wifi Analyzer:

In practice, this makes it possible to use Wifi in the next room with a router, after a couple of walls the signal level will drop dramatically.

► GPS

GPS is mediocre, a cold start takes about 4-5 minutes. To help determine the direction of motion on the map has a built-in compass:

► Camera

The resolution of the rear camera is 13Mp, but from this she did not begin to shoot better. In complex scenes, it is lost, but with the right lighting, the pictures are normal:


Front camera resolution - as much as 5Mp. Removes a good idea (as for the front), but without autofocus:


Video shoots at a resolution of 1280x720, 30fps. For dynamic scenes poorly suited:


But for shooting pets will fit:

► Games

The phone is productive and can run most 3D games. But due to the high resolution of the screen in difficult scenes, a drop in fps can be observed.
Video launch of several 3D games:

► Software

Pre-installed Android 4.2.1 without “decorations” and “enhancements”:

► Performance

The Pulid F13 is built on a 28 nm Mediatek 6589T chip, which consists of a 4-core Cortex-A7 processor architecture with a frequency of up to 1.5 GHz and a PowerVR SGX544 video accelerator. The amount of permanent memory - 32GB, operational - 2GB. The amount of permanent memory in 32GB is power! You can install as many games, applications, upload movies and music. You just forget about the memory card slot!
MT6589T is the overclocked version of MT6589, the processor frequency was raised from 1.2 GHz to 1.5 GHz. Let's see how the overclocked chip affected the performance of the phone:
Antutu 3.4:


Quadrant:


The test results of Vellamo in the processing speed of HTML 5 occupy the 3rd place in the device rating:


Nenamark 2:


In general, the results are higher than those of the MT6589, but still the performance of the graphics subsystem decreases due to the FHD screen.

► work time

Antutu Battery Tester test results:

The results are about 35 points higher than those of iOcean X7 with a 2000 mAh battery. But Pulid at F13 increased the maximum frequency of the processor at 300 MHz. But probably the whole thing is not only in this, but also in some "error" in the characteristics of the battery.
In practice, this implies 1 day of active use, or 2-3 days in the "easy" mode - calls and Wifi.

► Pros and cons

Good performance
Great screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels
2 sim cards
Poor GPS reception
Average rear camera quality
Short battery life

The phone was pleasantly surprised by its good performance and excellent screen. Is that the price a little "bites."

► Price

In China, this smartphone is priced at $ 290 including shipping.
If the screen with FHD resolution seems to you overkill - the manufacturer has a model called Pulid F17. Another design, a screen with a resolution of 1280x720 and the same platform - MT6589T, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of constant. The price is around $ 249.99.
