DEXP Ixion ML145 Snatch SE is no exception: it is packed in the same way as all its predecessors in the model range. Included with the smartphone comes a power adapter (5 V, 1 A), a USB-microUSB wire, a warranty card and instructions.



Design and ergonomics


DEXP Ixion ML145 Snatch SE is available in black and blue packages.





On the front panel - the display, bordered on the sides with thin frames, and three touch buttons. When pressed, each lights up for a few seconds.



On the left side of the device is the on / off button. On the right - the volume rocker.





Below on the back cover is the speaker grid, and on either side of it are the tabs, so that the sound is not muffled when the smartphone is on the table.



At the top there is a headphone jack and a microUSB port. Not very convenient location of the port, because when the smartphone is on charge, it is inconvenient to talk on it. However, he won't have to come to the outlet very often, but about this - in the section “Autonomy”.



The back panel is made of soft-touch soft-touch plastic. To remove it, just pick up a fingernail. Under the back cover is a removable battery (it closes two slots for SIM-cards of mini-SIM and micro-SIM formats) and a slot for a microSD memory card.





In his hand, the smartphone is comfortable, does not slip. The case is not too easily soiled. While the device was in testing (it took a week and a half), not a single scratch appeared on it. The display is also not covered with a grid of small cracks. In general, the gadget does not require special thrift.



The thickness of the smartphone is almost one and a half centimeters. You can hardly call it thin, but such is the charge for a large-capacity battery.

Display


The 4.5-inch display on the IPS-matrix pleases with decent image quality.



The picture is bright and clear, as if lying on the surface of the screen. There is a multitouch, all touches are worked out clearly and without delay. The touch layer processes up to five taps simultaneously.

A decent supply of brightness, it is more than enough for work both outdoors and indoors. The only thing that did not like is the display of black color, which at certain angles of inclination can be transmitted a little whitish.


In general, the display is good, I liked it.

Platform and performance


DEXP Ixion ML145 Snatch SE - a good tool for performing various routine tasks. It operates on the basis of a 1.3-GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, the graphics are processed by the Mali-400 MP2 accelerator.







Operating system: Android 4.4 KitKat. It is a pity that the version is not the newest, however, quite a decent option for a budget smartphone. Branded shell no. Supported updates by air.







The smartphone has 8 GB of internal memory. The user is provided with about 5 GB of internal memory, and you can clear another 500 MB by deleting the pre-installed programs. Therefore, it is better to immediately install a memory card and increase the volume in order to save photos, videos and install any games.

Speaking of games. Opportunities DEXP Ixion ML145 Snatch SE allow you to play in modern races, shooters and quests at medium settings. This is the merit of a relatively powerful processor and a small screen resolution.

During testing, the smartphone never hung, there was not a single malfunction.

Cameras


The main 5 megapixel camera is equipped with a flash. It is a pity there is no autofocus, but even without this, the pictures are very good.









Front camera is present, rather, for a tick. Use it better only for video. Just out of date 0.3 MP is not encouraging.

Also, the smartphone shoots Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second. Camera Interface:



Communication and sound


Two SIM cards are supported, they work alternately. While one number is used, the second is unavailable.

The GPS module quickly identifies satellites and confidently holds the coordinates. It is not necessary to re-configure it: everything works fine from a pilot launch.

The speakers are quite sonorous, the quality of communication is high.

Autonomy


Like all Ixion smartphones, this “hard worker” is for those who have no time to recharge the device once a day or more. Thanks to the 4000 mAh battery, in moderate use mode, the charge lasts for a whole working week: 5 days. Video in HD, it can play for about 8 hours, in the “only calls” mode, the device is able to hold out over 7 days, and playing 3D games on it will make about 5 hours.

If you use your smartphone more actively, you can do without recharging for three days.

findings


DEXP Snatch ML145 SE - a good "younger brother" DEXP Ixion XL145 Snatch. Unlike its predecessor, it is cheaper by several thousand rubles.



The device at the same time turned out not much worse than the prototype. So, the competitive platform remained unchanged, time-tested Android 4.4 KitKat OS and an impressive 4000 mAh battery that allows a smartphone to become a companion on the road, not just near the office desk.
