Highscreen PP5420 review
About two weeks ago they sent me a Highscreen PP5420 communicator for a test. I did not intend to write about it for a long time. But then they called me and asked to do it.
This is the second Highscreen communicator, which fell into my hands. The first was Zeus .
As can be seen from the characteristics - the average is such, even a weak communicator. But it looks funny and unusual.
Two screens, whatever you say - still attract the eye.
')
Black box with the company logo. For a modern communicator, the box is large.
Not a brick;)
We open. What do we see?
The set is standard: charging, headset, communicator itself, battery, stylus, interface cable. Could I hang out? Can. Two times smaller box - two times less during transportation, two times less space in the user box ...
So. Turn on. What do we see?
Cheerful android looks at us from two screens. By the way - I never found how to do at least something so funny when using a communicator. Does not work. Only navigation is shown (more on that later).
So. The main display - TFT, classic, resolution 240 Ă— 400 (wqvga), there is grain. The screen is like the younger models from other manufacturers (HTC Tatto with the same grain, GSmart S1200 - with a smaller one).
“The younger“ screen is 1.15 ”OLED 128 × 96. An interesting decision. Under normal lighting and in the dark, it is good. In the sun - do not read at all.
Both screens are resistive. They react to the finger, the stylus, the sausage and what you want.
Navigation in the communicator takes place using a touchscreen - a large screen and a mini screen - a small one. It is a convenient solution. I got used to it quickly, but I will not say that this method is optimal. Using physical buttons (menu, search, return) is nevertheless more convenient. The benefit of the end call button and the reception of the call "iron"
By the way, about the buttons.
The communicator on the "top" has a power button, as well as a mute button. However, the implementation deserves ... Swearing. In the locked state, the button is useless. In the active mode, when you press it, a menu opens and you have to press the “mute sound” button on the screen ... Not quite ideologically true ...
The device also has volume buttons, a two-position camera button, a micro SD card slot:
On the other hand there are no buttons, but there is a slot for an interface cable (mini-usb). By the way, I never managed to properly install the driver on the device ...
On the back cover we will see a speaker hole, a decorative hole, as well as a camera eye (3 megapixels with autofocus):
In life, the communicator showed its best. Despite the lack of Google services in the system (Anroid 1.5) (neither the market, nor the gmail), you can live with it. SlideMe (alternative to Android Market) is a convenient solution in this case. And nobody canceled apk-files.
Yes, the platform does not give out great speeds, but the player is happy to listen, read a book. On the Internet to sit through wi-fi. Using navigation (Sygic - quite a program for yourself) is easy! Watch the video in the subway - easily. Yes, and it can call and text message very well.
I couldn't do the system screenshots - there was a problem connecting to a computer. No driver.
Fotkat friends - you can! Shoot video - too!
Here for you, for example:
Perhaps you will say that such communicators are now a shaft. However, look at the Highscreen PP5420 a bit more closely. Also?..
Do you see how much it costs? 6000 !!! You do not believe?
For this money, everyone will get a communicator that can do anything. Literally. And what can not - for the money no one can!
Geek, student, youth - get a good communicator for great money!
Pros:
Price Unusual second display
Camera autofocus
Wi-Fi price
GPS
Minuses:
mini-usb with non-standard drivers screen grain ergonomics suffers
non-standard screen resolution - hence the problems with the installation of programs
lack of market
lack of synchronization with Google services
resistive screen
"Chinese" design
lack of any support from Vobis
Some commentators notice problems with the MTS operator for this device.
I would take!
You need to think about what the device is for you. If you want synchronization services, heaps of games, different versions of programs, buy programs and games for it - do not take it. Sorry. But if you only have enough of what you can do with it (reader, telephone, browser, audio and video player, navigator), then take it.

At the request of solarwind , Davidov , Himari I add minuses to the device.
Apd2: if someone loves WinMo and loves to flash - w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=130176 - there is a firmware recipe for WinMo, a radio appears, the battery lives longer. and there is also a recipe to bring everything back.
This is the second Highscreen communicator, which fell into my hands. The first was Zeus .
