Test Explay smartphone Pulsar: three days without an outlet
Not only does the price tag of the Explay Pulsar smartphone not stand out from the prices of models of similar characteristics, it essentially defines the lower end of the price range. The recommended price for the Explay Pulsar smartphone is 4990 rubles, and the average price on Yandex.Market is 4790 rubles (the range of prices is from 4210 rubles to the same recommended 4990 rubles). But enough accounting, let's take a look at the box.
Display diagonal of the smartphone Explay Pulsar 5 "
The smartphone is made in a standard classic monoblock form-factor, it does not stand out with anything exotic outwardly. In general, he makes a solid impression in an amicable way. The smartphone is quite large, heavy (such a battery weighs something). Despite the thickness of 12 mm, the case looks thinner visually. But these are the usual tricks of designers, no one makes "bricks" now, so in Explay Pulsar: the display is framed by a thin plastic frame, and the back cover is a little bloated, between them is a metal frame, a little more than four millimeters thick, edging the entire body around the perimeter ... The metal is not shiny, blued, of a dark tint to match the color of the case.
The back cover of the Explay Pulsar smartphone has a textured embossing
In addition to some swelling, the back cover of the smartphone has textured embossing. As a result, the device with such a textured surface, firstly, looks great and is simply pleasant to take in hand, and secondly, the surface is absolutely not easily soiled. And I must say, this pleasantly distinguishes the Explay Pulsar from the already boring glossy plastic or soft-touch coating.
Front panel and touch buttons Explay Pulsar smartphone
The screen protector that occupies the entire front panel is completely flat, there are no sagging or smoothly rounded edges, such as "gorilla glass", but, nevertheless, the design solution does not look cheap, the plastic frame around the screen is executed elegantly and with high quality. The bezel is glossy, black, and it just merges with the black bezel on the plane of the display. The front panel is standard for a smartphone, above the screen is the main speaker and lens front camera, below, under the screen, a block of three sensory buttons. Mechanical buttons located on the right and left on the side edges of the case, on a metal frame, they themselves are also metal. On the right side there is a power button, opposite it, on the left there is a thin volume rocker key. The buttons are shifted to the top edge of the smartphone. In general, from below we will find only a microphone, all controls, lenses of both cameras and interface connectors are displaced in upper part devices.
Explay Pulsar smartphone interface connectors and mechanical controls
On the upper end of the smartphone there is an audio output for headphones or a telephone headset in the "mini-jack" 3.5 mm format and micro-USB connector... On the back cover, next to the lens of the main camera, you can see a flash and right there, which is not so common, there is an audio speaker. In most cases, the speaker is located at the bottom of the cabinet, but the need to transfer the speakers to lower part back cover can occur only if we have two stereo speakers. The Explay Pulsar smartphone has one speaker and the very place for it is near the camera. So it does not get in the way of your hand and you cannot accidentally block it with your palm. This is the end of the visual overview.
As mentioned above, there is nothing extraordinary in the design of the Explay Pulsar smartphone, we have before us a solid classic device. Dimensions of the device - 73x142.5x12 mm, weight - 186 g. The delivery set includes: the smartphone itself, Charger, USB cable and an adapter from the micro-USB plug (male) to USB connector(mother) for connecting to a smartphone external USB devices... The presence of this adapter in the basic configuration is a trifle, but pleasant, its price is low, but when you need it, then go and look. But support USB functions OTG (On-The-Go, fast connection peripheral devices) for modern smartphone the thing is almost obligatory, you will not be surprised by this. It is just a pleasant surprise that the Explay Pulsar smartphone can be recharged using this USB adapter. external device- second smartphone, player, e-book reader. This is not often seen, and the Explay Pulsar battery has a capacity that is rare for a smartphone. And completing the review of the delivery set, as a minus, we can note the absence of a telephone headset in the package bundle, here the manufacturer obviously saved money.
Software
The Explay Pulsar smartphone runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system. There is minimal developer intervention in the system.
Explay Pulsar smartphone desktop and pre-installed software
When inspecting labels preinstalled apps for some reason, the thought arises that the absence of a set, such as "Yandex inside", will only please many users. Before us is the normal basic configuration of an Android smartphone. standard programs... These are mainly applications required for telephony and SMS / MMS transmission, store Google play Market and standard set applications from Google. Of the excesses, the user will find, perhaps, the application "Liters", and even then this business is more or less necessary. Otherwise, everything is in the hands of the user. No services or applications imposed by developers.
Performance testing
V popular set In the AnTuTu Benchmark version 5.1 tests, the Explay Pulsar smartphone received a good 18323 points. Of course with top models It makes no sense to compete, but the results for the budget class are very good.
results AnTuTu test Benchmark v.5.1
The Explay Pulsar device is based on the MediaTek MT6582 chipset (28 nm process technology) with four Cortex A7 cores with a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz and a Mali-400 MP2 video accelerator. This chipset supports work with two SIM-cards, a camera up to 13 megapixels and a 720p display, and can output 1080p video to the periphery. It contains built-in bluetooth modules version 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n, FM radio and GPS navigation... As for the modules, the capabilities are implemented in the smartphone in in full... But the display and the camera are not installed to the maximum possible, with a smaller resolution, obviously, for reasons of reducing power consumption and saving in terms of price. They promise to reduce energy consumption specifications display, we have it, although it is five-inch diagonally, but with a resolution of 480 by 854 pixels, and two cameras - a five-megapixel main camera and a 0.3 megapixel front camera - should, most likely, moderate the overall price of a smartphone. But let's talk about cameras, first of all - performance tests.
Results of additional tests of the AnTuTu Benchmark v.5.1 set of utilities
In the 5th version of the AnTuTu Benchmark set of utilities, three more appeared in addition to the main set individual applications- CPU tests Single-thread Test / Multi-thread Test, browser performance test HTML5 Test and Video Tester. The Explay Pulsar smartphone in processor tests received 2822 and 10920 points, respectively, the browser performance was estimated at 8682 points, and in AnTuTu Video Tester 2.2 the smartphone earned 376 points.
AnTuTu Video Tester 2.2 test results
To be honest, we ran the AnTuTu Video Tester video test utility on a smartphone out of curiosity. Usually, no unusual possibilities in video playback are expected from a smartphone. It's just that the Explay Pulsar has a fairly large display and looks good for watching videos. Under normal conditions, for watching a movie, there are devices specifically designed for this, but somewhere on a long journey, the Explay Pulsar smartphone will do. Our subject did not even get into the comparative histograms of the test, especially since the histograms are built on comparisons with tablets and specialized video consoles, but you can approximately navigate by the score obtained in the test.
Vellamo test results
A set of utilities Vellamo version 3.0 completed the performance testing. This set consists of three sets, our smartphone Explay Pulsar earned: Metal - 656 points, Multicore - 1224, Browser - 1662 points.
As a result, we can say that the processor installed on the smartphone is good decision for budgetary apparatus, it is not the most productive, but stable and energy efficient. In combination with a display moderate in terms of resolution and pixel density (480x854 pixels and 196 ppi) and a huge 4000 mAh battery for smartphones in this segment, we get a device of exceptional endurance. And let's move on to the battery test.
Battery test
The battery of the Explay Pulsar smartphone was tested, perhaps the most standard utility AnTuTu Tester. This utility "burns" the battery charge in three stages from 100% to less than 19%. When analyzing the test results, pay attention to the total time taken to complete the test (the longer, the better, of course), the duration of each stage of the test (for a new battery, the duration of the stages should be the same) and the score earned as a result of the test.
AnTuTu Tester Battery Test Results
Our AnTuTu Tester scores were predictably high. Yes, it was expected, but, nevertheless, the Explay Pulsar smartphone was a pleasant surprise. The total score is 1455! And this despite the fact that the results in the region of 500 points for smartphones are common, and close to 900-1000 are considered very high. The test lasted a total of 8 hours and 5 minutes, which is a colossal time. All three stages met exactly like a pretty penny, at about the same time - 2:53, 2:41 and 2:31. At Result of AnTuTu Tester at 8 o'clock normal mode using the smartphone, it will work for a couple of days without problems, you still have to try to completely discharge the battery.
Navigation
Navigation test is optional for smartphone. But if our device has a five-inch display and such a "hardy" battery, then why not use a smartphone as a GPS navigator. When the GPS module is turned on, different modes When using a smartphone, battery power is consumed in different ways. In the mode of simple tracking of coordinates and even recording tracks, it is more or less economical, and in the navigator mode with the always-on display, it is very wasteful. If we use a smartphone as an auto navigator, then we have the opportunity to recharge it from on-board network... But the battery capacity of the Explay Pulsar smartphone allows you to use it as a navigator even without recharging, for example, while cycling. Of course, the Explay Pulsar will not last a whole day in this mode, but it should last for four hours.
GPS navigation module test
When you turn on the GPS module of your Explay Pulsar smartphone for the first time, it searches for satellites for a little over a minute. But with repeated switching on, as well as with support A-GPS technology, it takes less than ten seconds to find the first satellites. The GPS-module does not cause any complaints, it works quickly.
Photo and video filming
There is no reason to expect anything outstanding from the 5-megapixel camera. The camera of the Explay Pulsar smartphone has demonstrated all the capabilities that any similar camera can budget smartphone... Here are some test shots. Quite naturally, in good light the quality of the pictures is slightly better, in low light the pictures are worse.
Clicking on a thumbnail will open a full-size image
Test shots were taken in different conditions and in different time days. During the day, the lighting in the room is sufficient for shooting without a flash. Unexpectedly, autofocus works well when aiming at objects that are at close and medium distances, the picture is extremely clear.
Attributes of photos taken with Explay Pulsar smartphone
But just as unexpectedly, autofocus "stutters" landscape photos, constantly looking for a point to focus, and as a result, the photos are blurred and with such artifacts, as if some kind of filter had been applied. I must say that the photography was carried out without any additional settings... Forced focusing is also available in the camera, you can try shooting in different modes, perhaps the result will be better.

Video smartphone Explay Pulsar writes in MPEG-4 format with a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels. File extension.3GP.
Total
Explay Pulsar smartphone - record holder for duration autonomous work from one full charge battery. This is unambiguous. The volume is a little alarming. random access memory 512 MB, but Android version 4.4.2 KitKat works stably, does not "slow down" or "freeze". The test indicators are not the greatest, they are quite consistent with the class of the device, but the smartphone behaves quite adequately in use. Yes, I would like the screen to be a little denser, with a higher resolution. And a better camera. But if you carry out all the "Wishlist", then this smartphone will go into another category, more expensive. And so, if you enter a certain conditional coefficient - a minute of battery life for a penny of the price - then this smartphone there is no equal. It consistently and rigorously embodies the idea of the maximum duration of the "autonomous life" of the apparatus.

Many users want to know more about the capabilities of their phones, smartphones or tablets. But how to determine how long the battery will last, how many touches the display can withstand? You will find answers to all these questions in an advanced Android device tester.
AnTuTu Tester is a program that allows you to test the operation of a gadget and learn a lot about it and interesting information... If we compare AntuTu Tester with other similar applications, then its installation and configuration are simpler, where users are provided with accurate and detailed information. So, if you are one of those who want to know the details about your mobile phone, this utility has been created especially for you. One has only to download it to Android and you can safely conduct tests with the device.
Description
The functionality of the application consists of four points.
- System information. In this section, the smartphone owner will see data about the CPU, GPU, model name, operating system, built-in memory, SD card memory, screen, processor type and frequency, Wi-Fi, GPS.
- Multi Touch Test. Displays information about maximum number touching the sensor. Practically verified. The user needs to simultaneously touch all the circles that appear on the screen, after which the result will appear.
- LCD Test. The number of dead pixels, that is, non-working ones, is analyzed here.
- Battery Test. The most entertaining section, thanks to which the battery of your device is tested. As a result of the experiment, you will be aware of how worn out the battery is, how long it has worked and how much longer it will last, about it temperature conditions how quickly the energy is consumed, about the charging speed. The battery must be fully charged before starting the test. Then click on the "Start test" button. The diagnostic process is very long and can take up to five hours. Therefore, you should be patient and wait for the results. At the end, a graph with all readings is displayed on the screen.
The app has beautiful design and a simple interface that makes it easy for the owner to use. The download takes place automatically without any intervention on your part.
The developers did not stop there and created a new one software called AnTuTu Video Tester, which checks video playback on the device, as well as the presence of dead pixels. The tool is easy to use. On the monitor you will see a menu consisting of two items: 1) Video Test; 2) Screen Test.
Before starting the test, download to your device additional package video of about 150 MB. This is done only once, no downloads are needed for subsequent tests. Then click on the "Video Test" button. The results will be displayed in a summary table, where the names of the reproduced and unsupported codecs will be indicated.
Screen Test will help you detect dead pixels. By clicking on the corresponding button, the screen will become a certain color (red, green, blue, black, white), where dead pixel will not be displayed, that is, it will be highlighted in a different color. A gamma test and a gray shade test will also be performed.
Based on the above material, we can say that tools for checking gadgets are very useful for their owners and for those who are going to buy a new model for themselves.
On our website you can download AnTuTu Tester in one click.
Do not forget to share your test results in the comments.
- program for devices based on the operating room Android system... With its help, anyone can conduct a series of tests on their favorite mobile device. This allows you to identify certain problems and fix them in time, if necessary. Therefore, the program is useful and very functional, for experienced users smartphones or tablet computers will definitely come in handy. The application is able to conduct screen tests, and a number of tests affect all the technical characteristics of the screen. Therefore, if there are questions about whether the display, color rendition or other characteristics are correct, then these tests will show the whole picture in full.
The application can also test battery... With the help of these tests, you can find out in what state it is. How fast the charge and discharge cycles take place. In general, very helpful information especially if you use mobile device not the first year. After all, as you know over time, the battery does not hold as much energy as before, so it is always useful to find out about its state of affairs.
The next possible test would be multitouch testing. This is very important feature because you need to be sure that the device correctly recognizes and displays all your gestures. Since in touch devices all control is tied to control through the screen, then without this feature it is simply impossible to work. Therefore, be sure to check the correctness of multitouch recognition. Perhaps some users will find out that they have a problem, but before the test you would never have thought about it.
