Explay N1 smartphone review: first among equals

Such a great demand for “smart dialers” is largely explained by the fact that the segment of budget smartphones, i.e., devices costing up to 3,000 rubles, has expanded significantly. Thus, we can say that smartphones have become a consumer product. Many manufacturers are bending over backwards to bring to market a device that is truly accessible to the masses of consumers. True, not everyone succeeds. But today we will talk about those who succeeded: the Explay company and the new model of the budget smartphone Explay N1.

Explay N1

Quo licet Jovi, non licet bovi

First, let's look at who is producing smartphones in the price segment up to 3,000 rubles. The first thing that comes to mind is little-known Chinese brands or “sub-brands” of large companies that decided to disguise themselves and throw a stunted device onto the market without damaging their reputation. In both the first and second cases, users who receive such smartphones very soon become disappointed and send rays of hatred to negligent manufacturers. Negative reviews about products of this type can be found on any forum dedicated to mobile devices.

The third case is smartphone models released by cellular operators. They are really cheap and of very acceptable quality. There is just one catch: when purchasing such a device, a mandatory condition is to connect to a certain tariff, the cost of which can be equal to the cost of the smartphone itself or even exceed it. That is, everything seems to be fair, the smartphone on the counter really costs less than three thousand, but in fact, you will have to pay all five for it.

Explay N1 original packaging

Unlike the others, Explay managed to release a truly budget smartphone, at an honest price of 1,890 rubles, without any marketing gimmicks. At the same time, the device looks quite decent, meets all the needs of a modern user and has a quality guarantee, the key to which is the established reputation of Explay.

Now let's take a look at the device itself.

Ex pedum Herculem

First the appearance. After all, first of all, it is the design that the buyer pays attention to. A device with a red casing arrived at our laboratory and simply cannot help but attract attention. We can also say that today the following body color options are available: black, white and purple. The screen is edged with a plastic frame.

Small but bright screen of Explay N1

Explay N1 is like Chichikov, not exactly thin, but not thick either. It will not take up much space in your pocket, as it is made in the form factor of a 3.5-inch device. At the corners, the body of the device is smoothed, has smooth rounded shapes, the edges are also sloping from the “back” to the screen.

Explay N1 top edge interfaces

The location of the hardware elements on the case is convenient. On the top edge there are two connectors: microUSB, used to connect to a PC and charge the battery; next to it is a standard 3.5 mm audio jack. On the right side is a screen lock button, which also turns the smartphone on/off. On the left, in the upper part, there is a volume rocker.

The buttons are seamlessly molded into the Explay N1 body

On the back wall you can easily find the peephole of the rear camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. Let us note right away that apart from the fact that there is a camera, there is practically nothing to say about it. That is, this is a standard camera, controlled by a standard Android application with a full set of corresponding functions, filters, shooting modes, etc. The quality of pictures obtained when using the camera, of course, is far from ideal, but, obviously, the Explay N1 is not bought to replace a digital "soap boxes".

Test photos of Explay N1

Having admired the appearance of Explay N1? Let's open the back cover and see what interesting things await us there? First we see a 1300 mAh battery, how viable it is will be discussed below. Under the battery, three slots open to a careful eye. At the top, closer to the camera, there are two slots for SIM cards, and just below there is a slot for a microSD memory card. It is strongly recommended to acquire one for full use of your smartphone.

The table will better tell you about the hidden, invisible capabilities of a smartphone and characteristics that are not covered by a critical eye:

We will move directly to the capabilities of Explay N1.

A posteriori

Before talking about the experience of using a smartphone, it is best to understand what exactly we are using? The Explay N1 smartphone is built on the basis of a dual-core processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz, manufactured by Mediatek, which in principle is not surprising, since the products of this Taiwanese mobile chip developer are found in almost every budget device. Apparently, Explay engineers decided not to experiment or reinvent the wheel, but to follow the beaten path, which, of course, should be given credit to them.

Explay N1 case available in several colors

The RAM on board the smartphone is only 256 MB, the built-in memory is 512 MB. Of course, not much, but that’s what the memory card slot is for, so you can increase the volume to 32 GB. As for RAM, and therefore the speed of solving problems assigned to a smartphone, let’s look at the results of testing the smartphone.

As you can see, despite the records, the results of Explay N1 are not so bad. Of course, the device has to compete with world celebrities in synthetic tests. It is unlikely that the developers of our today's test subject went so far in their ambitions.

In fact, that is, when you actually use the smartphone, there are practically no complaints about the operation of the device. As you can already see, Explay N1 runs Android 4.2.2. As is customary, in the default firmware the user will find many pre-installed services and applications from Yandex. We won’t complain about this; most of them are actually very convenient and work great on a smartphone. By the way, Explay N1 supports the following wireless protocols: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.

Ecce spectaculum

The multimedia functions of a smartphone are always worthy of special attention, because a smartphone is not bought for calls alone, otherwise a Nokia 3310 would be enough.

There were no difficulties with Internet surfing. Pages open quite quickly even when using the standard Android browser and other programs.

As mentioned above, Explay N1 is equipped with a 3.5” display, the resolution is 320x480 pixels. Again, not rocket science, but in this particular case it looks pretty decent. The screen is characterized by good viewing angles; in bright light it behaves the same as any other device with a glossy screen - it goes blind, but not to critical levels.

Of the smartphone's out-of-the-box capabilities, note the pre-installed FM radio. By the way, Explay N1 is equipped with a fairly powerful speaker so it can easily act as a portable audio or video player.

Simple games also ran on the smartphone without any visible difficulties, slowdowns or freezes, apparently thanks to the good Mali-400 graphics subsystem. So at the hour when the user wants to chop up a hundred other fruits, feed candy to a cute little frog, or run through underground labyrinths, Explay N1 will be ready for these services.

Post scriptum

So, to summarize, I would like to say that despite the fact that we have before us a fairly simple smartphone from the budget segment, it is still a kind of innovative device. Explay has managed to create a smartphone that is functionally and technically not inferior to higher-ranking competitors, the cost of which is currently the lowest on the market.

Post scriptum

So, to summarize, I would like to say that despite the fact that we have before us a fairly simple smartphone from the budget segment, it is still a kind of innovative device. Explay has managed to create a smartphone that is functionally and technically not inferior to higher-ranking competitors, the cost of which is currently the lowest on the market.

The budget Explay N1 tablet is designed to always be with you thanks to its compactness and simplicity. The device is equipped with everything necessary for viewing multimedia files, and its main advantage is an attractive and affordable price.

The device attracts users with its accessibility and simplicity

The Explay brand is known for its inexpensive but quite functional tablets that are perfect for many users. Let's find out what makes the N1 so special, what features it offers and why it has such a low price.

Contents of delivery

The scope of delivery is minimal; the device comes with only the essentials - a power adapter, documentation to help you understand it, and a USB cable for connecting to a computer.

In principle, nothing else is needed for such a tablet - you get everything you need thanks to its internal filling. You can choose other accessories, such as headphones or a case, entirely at your own discretion, which is even better than paying for additional components that you don’t like.

Design

Externally, Explay N1 immediately attracts attention because it is very compact and extremely light - it weighs less than 300 grams, has dimensions of 116x191x10 mm, and this makes it an excellent companion for any trip. The thin case is designed in black or white, there are no elaborate solutions in it - it is precisely this simplicity and rigor that attracts buyers.

Thanks to this design, it will look good in any setting, be it a business meeting or a trip to another city by train. In addition, you can always carry it with you, and this is an important factor when choosing such equipment.

Screen

The screen diagonal of the Explay N1 model is only 7 inches - this is quite justified by its size and internal content. These sizes will allow you to conveniently use the Internet, watch movies and open work documents. The screen resolution is low - 800x480, the viewing angles are far from maximum and, if you look closely, you can see pixelation, but all this is justified by the cost of the tablet. When it is needed for everyday use, recreation and travel, such a screen is more than enough, but you will not overpay for high resolution or other nuances that are often invisible when working with the device.

Performance

A gigahertz processor complete with 512 MB of RAM is a modest set that is enough to work on the Internet and with applications on . This kind of stuffing is not enough for voluminous and resource-intensive games, but, as a rule, fans of the latter know that for such purposes they should choose tablets in a completely different price category.

In addition, an “average” processor will cope well with everyday tasks, but on the other hand, it will not overload the system and, what is important, drain the battery too quickly.

Multimedia capabilities

A review of the tablet's internal contents makes it clear that it will do an excellent job of playing music, movies and other multimedia content - it's convenient to watch videos and play games on the 7-inch screen. The dimensions make it possible to combine compactness in it, but at the same time, the diagonal of the screen allows you to fully enjoy the use when working with multimedia files or documents, reading books and browsing web pages.

The internal memory of Explay N1 has a capacity of 4 GB, it can easily be increased using a card up to 32 GB in size - this amount of information can be read and processed on the tablet without any problems, while its performance remains at the same optimal speed.

Battery and operating time

If you take into account all the functions and contents of the tablet, it becomes clear that a 2300 mAh battery is a completely reasonable solution for this device. Its battery life is about 5 hours, but, as you know, such indicators are relative, since everything depends on the specific tasks of each device.

To use the Internet, read books and view photos, such a battery will last for more hours. But, of course, if you play or watch movies, you shouldn’t count on a long operating time without recharging.

Camera

Affordability as the main feature of this model means that it does not have expensive additions in the form of a multi-pixel camera, which as a result still does not provide the same quality as when shooting. There is no regular camera in the Explay N1, but it’s hard to consider this a drawback considering the overall functionality of the device and its final price.

However, this model has a front camera with a resolution of 0.3 MP, which is enough for video communication and taking pictures.

Operating system and programs

Since the tablet has the Google Android 4.2 operating system installed, it comes with all the basic necessary applications for work - mail, browsers, notepads, etc. Thanks to the flexibility and practicality of the software, you can install all the necessary applications at your discretion, especially since most creators develop separate versions of programs for such mobile devices. As a result, you will be able to use familiar applications, but they themselves will require much less resources than when installed on a computer or other equipment.

Competitors

In its price category, Explay N1 has no competitors, because practically no manufacturer produces similar models at such a price. If you choose a device with the same or a slightly better set of functions, you should pay attention to the following analogues:

• Irbis HIT 7″ 3G 4 Gb - it costs a thousand rubles more, offers the user a screen with a resolution of 1024×600 and multi-touch function, it already has a 2 MP main camera, and the battery has a slightly larger capacity. Otherwise, this model is not much different from the Explay N1 we reviewed.
• Digma Optima 7001 - a tablet that costs about 3 thousand rubles, compared to the model from our review, has a larger amount of built-in memory - 8 GB, and a better screen resolution - 1024x600. Otherwise, it is similar in function and appearance - compact, lightweight and simple in design.

And yet, none of them, no matter how affordable they are, can be compared in cost to the Explay N1 - their price is always higher by at least a thousand rubles. So why pay more?

Advantages and disadvantages

After the above review, we can conclude that the main advantages of Explay N1 are:

• Low cost with basic functions for using the Internet and working with files.
• Convenient sizes.
• Light weight.

This is where all the advantages end, and this tablet has only one common disadvantage - weak parameters. The model should not be required to work quickly when launching several applications or support games - for all this and other, more labor-intensive tasks, a powerful processor and more RAM are required.

Conclusion

The Explay N1 tablet will be an excellent companion for those who use it for the initial tasks for which such devices are created - accessing the Internet, watching movies or photos, reading and working with documents. Therefore, the tablet is perfect for everyday tasks, and what is especially noteworthy is that it costs much less than analogues from other brands.

Another significant reason to think about buying it is its dimensions. The tablet is large enough to be comfortable for reading without putting unnecessary strain on your eyesight, but also compact enough to carry it with you always and everywhere.

If you expect to get everything and even more from a compact mobile device, you want to have a colorful picture with high resolution, use games with beautiful graphics, this price category is definitely not suitable for such purposes - to purchase a high-quality and powerful product, you need to pay a little more. The only thing I can recommend before buying such equipment is to think about what tasks you need a tablet for, and after that you can understand what parameters you need to focus on when choosing it.

And Explay N1 will always find its fans among users who are looking for an affordable device that is not burdened with a large number of unnecessary functions.

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 the Explay N1 tablet (reviews from thrifty users about it 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, gadget name, characteristics and general information highlighted in white. The communicator is supplied with a charger, an instruction manual and

Design

In appearance, the smartphone does not differ 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 the back cover and the 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 speakerphone. At an average volume, the interlocutor is perfectly audible, mainly high frequencies predominate, there is no echo, extraneous noise or 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 on the bottom end of the device, and on the top side there is a connector for the 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 the “cover” we can see a 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 point out the low quality of the TFT matrix. 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. The touch screen responds immediately when touched and supports up to two taps on the display simultaneously. The screen of the smartphone is capacitive, there should be no problems with its functioning.

Charge

The mobile device has a removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1300 mAh. Due to the small size of the screen, the not too voracious battery life of the gadget and the simple matrix, such a battery can easily withstand 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. You can determine your location using a wireless connection or mobile connection. The Explay N1 device does not support GPS (user reviews also mention this) as a separate function.

Removable media
