Lji spirit. LG Spirit - Specifications. Full technical specifications of the LG SPIRIT H422 smartphone. New product with two SIM cards at an affordable price

Manufacturers strive to find something new and unusual where, it would seem, nothing new can be invented. An example of such a search for new forms was LG Spirit H422, the main feature of which is a slightly concave body with a curvature radius of 3000 mm. Thanks to this shape, the device fits better in the hand, fits more conveniently into pockets, and also attracts attention with its unusual shape. With a body thickness of only 9.95 mm, the device looks very compact, elegant and stylish.

Another original idea is a button for controlling the phone on the back cover, with the help of which all the manipulations that are usually carried out in Android smartphones with the side buttons are performed. This made the design of the device even more streamlined and sophisticated.

Impressive technical characteristics

Working under operating room control Android systems Lollipop 5.0.1, LG Spirit H422 is equipped with quite powerful and modern hardware: a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz with 1 GB of RAM allows you to play the latest games and enjoy full-fledged three-dimensional graphics. The phone is equipped with a slot for connecting memory cards, which allows you to expand the original 8 GB by an additional 32 GB.

The HD display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels has a density of 312 ppi, which is very close to the quality level of Retina-ready displays. A special feature of the screen is its reduced thickness. Unique In-Cell Touch screen technology creates the sensation of touching directly the image on the screen, rather than touching protective glass, as is the case with most phones. At the same time, the device's response time to touch is much faster than that of other devices with standard touchscreen technology.

Smartphone for bright photos

LG Spirit H422 is equipped with a powerful 8MP camera that allows you to take breathtaking photos and selfies thanks to intelligent technologies:
1. Gesture recognition for shooting: show your open palm to the camera - the phone is waiting for a command; clench your hand into a fist - a three-second countdown begins, after which the device takes a photo
2. Instant shooting with one touch, allowing you to capture vivid shots of the most fleeting moments
3. An ingenious solution for the front camera flash. For more successful selfies, the phone screen will be backlit: during shooting, it will give a flash of bright light, providing a high-quality photo
4. Instant focusing. Auto focus allows you to quickly target your subject

To summarize, we can say that Lji Spirit is a phone that will fit perfectly in both a neat woman’s palm and a man’s hand. At the same time, the device will provide a smooth experience of using all applications on Android, and will also allow you to shoot vivid footage in high resolution.

Key Features of LG Spirit

"Why not make inexpensive curved smartphones for the masses?" - thought LG. And they did. The hero of today's story, LG "Spirit" Spirit, is just one of those with a crooked screen.

The curvature, frankly speaking, is small. One and a half to two millimeters of deviation by 13 centimeters in length. I can’t say that this greatly affected the ease of use of the device. Yes, it “fits comfortably in the hand,” etc., but it’s unlikely that this is just a matter of this very bending of the screen.

But in general, in terms of design, they are definitely well done. The device turned out to be elegant and slightly unusual (which is so lacking in almost all modern smartphones). The curvature certainly didn’t make it any worse.

Alas, with everything else things are not so rosy.

Brief conclusion

LG Spirit is a nice smartphone with a slightly curved screen. If we ignore the form, there is nothing interesting in the device. Average camera, very weak battery, screen without oleophobic coating, not enough memory, poor GPS. And there are many, many, many cheaper competitors. Despite everything, I liked the device, but it is, of course, difficult to recommend it for purchase.

Price

Official “white” devices in large networks can now be bought for 11 thousand rubles. In small stores you can find LG Spirit cheaper, about nine thousand.

Competitors

We will look for competitors solely by the filling, because there are simply no other curved devices on the market.

We are looking for something “not worse”. Those. screen from 4.7" to 5", RAM from 1 GB, battery from 2000 mAh, etc.

And we see that competitors Very a lot of. And this is even if we do not take into account the officially unsold Chinese.

If you don't go after well-known brands, you can save a lot. Despite all the crises, for just six thousand you can buy a Keneksi Hemera or a DEXP Ixion M150 Storm, which in their performance characteristics are extremely reminiscent of our hero, only five-inch. Or Ark Benefit A3 - for the same 6 thousand you will also get LTE support.

Do you want 4.7"? Then here's the DEXP Ixion X 4.7". True, Android is second-generation and has less flash memory. But also six thousand.

If you want a smartphone from more serious manufacturers, then you should go to Huawei and Lenovo.

Equipment

Charger, Micro-USB cable. Replaceable back cover (in my case, golden). By the way, I liked the main back cover, which is white, more. And less slippery, and the color is nicer.

Appearance

Weight	118 g
Size	133.3 x 66.1 x 9.9 mm
Protection	No

Well, let's show off.

1. Take a regular parallelepiped and bend it slightly along the long side. So that the back cover is slightly convex, and the glass is slightly concave.

2. We take the buttons to back cover. Both the volume rocker and the lock button.

Well, they showed off. Has it gotten better? Hard to tell. Has it gotten worse? No, it didn't. Spirit has not become any less convenient compared to classic devices. And if so, such changes have a right to exist.

What else. Easy. Nice matte plastic. Two Micro-SIM and a memory card are under a removable cover. Removable battery. Good quality assemblies. The sides are perhaps a little slippery. There are no other comments about appearance.

Colors. According to the LG website, there are three of them - white, black and gold. In fact, my “white” device has a black front and a white back cover. Plus, as I already said, the kit includes a replaceable gold cover. Black smartphones are black on all sides. Purely “gold” devices are not particularly visible on sale.

A few boring details about appearance.

Rear Camera, flash, buttons. There's a speaker at the bottom.

Before. Above the screen, as usual, there is a front camera and various sensors. What is unpleasant is that there is no signal LED.

Under the screen - meaningless black stripe with logo. Android buttons are virtual, drawn on the screen.

Top. 3.5mm audio jack and noise canceling microphone.

Bottom. Micro-USB and main microphone.

The sides are empty.

Internals (iron)

AnTuTu	19431 (v5.7.1)
Chipset	MediaTek MT6582
Cores	4 x Cortex-A7, 1.3 GHz
GPU	Mali-400MP2
RAM (free)	1 GB (0.57 GB)
ROM (free)	8 GB (3.3 GB)
Micro-SD	Up to 32 GB

The chipset is well known and familiar to everyone, so there are no surprises. Average performance, quite sufficient for everyday use.

With memory, things are much sadder. Although, it would seem, it is not so little. What is operational, what is flash.

RAM. Applications constantly fall out of memory. I understand that the eighth Asphalt is quite big. But not as much. As soon as you exit it for any reason, it is immediately unloaded from memory. There is no question of interrupting the race and then returning back. There's a Fly Cirrus 1 next to it with the same gigabyte - why isn't this problem there?

Flash memory. Yes, theoretically it is expandable with memory cards. And photographs, as well as music and films, can be stored there. But with programs it’s worse. Theoretically, if you go to the program settings, then for many you will see a “Move to SD card” button. In practice, only parts of programs are transferred, and not all of them. And what’s most disgusting is that game caches are not transferred, which, as a rule, take up 90 percent of the total space. In general, having updated to current versions everything that was on the smartphone, plus installing my usual set of software, I sadly discovered that on GTA San Andreas there is no longer enough space.

Sensors There is a proximity sensor, an accelerometer and even a compass. Surprisingly, there is no light sensor. It’s not that I suffer much from his absence, but it’s a strange fact.

Communication with the outside world

The LG website claims that we have the latest Bluetooth version, up to 4.1. But I don’t know how to check if this is true. And is there any particular difference for you and me?

And more - there is nothing interesting here.

Screen

Budget IPS screen with all the ensuing consequences. There are two serious (i.e. visible to the naked eye) problems.

1) Lack of normal oleophobic coating. Those. The display quickly becomes covered with fingerprints. And you can’t wipe the grease off the screen with a handkerchief.

2) The minimum white brightness is too high.

Otherwise everything is relatively good. The brightness is more or less enough, the resolution is also enough, the slipperiness is good.

A strange feature - in the settings you can set the "night brightness" mode. And then the smartphone will automatically reset the screen brightness to minimum... From midnight to six in the morning. The time interval cannot be set.

Operating system and other software

Android 5.0.1 Lollipop plus a proprietary shell and some proprietary software from LG.

Battery

The battery is not the most capacious in modern times - 2100 mAh. And I guessed that the test results would be so-so. But I still didn’t expect them to be so sad. The screen is small, and the resolution is modest. Well, you never know - what if something was optimized somewhere?

But no. No miracles. Only 99% of my conventional standard. For the end of 2015, the result is unimportant. In “urban” mode (home-travel-work) - enough for a day. But you can’t go on reconnaissance or travel with this. Or you will go, but only stock up on external batteries.

An unpleasant glitch. The last 10-15% of the charge “goes away” incredibly quickly. They just melt before our eyes in a couple of minutes. Obvious battery calibration problem.

LG Spirit as a flashlight

The flashlight from the smartphone turned out to be quite good. Eight lux from one hundred and eighty centimeters is quite enough to illuminate your way in the dark.

LG Spirit as a photo and video camera

The cameras are nothing special. However, in this price range you can’t hope for more. Does it work fast? Quickly. Is the picture quality acceptable? Quite. If you want more, sell a kidney or a piece of liver, buy a flagship.

10 more photos

Example video.

Front-camera It’s fine for a simple video chat on Skype, but it’s unlikely to please selfie lovers.

LG Spirit as a GPS navigator

GPS is behaving strangely. Watch the tracks and check out how the first sausage was at first. Those. the smartphone seemed to think that it had positioned itself. But at the same time he defined his position very crookedly. Then, after about five minutes, he returned to normal.

The effect is more or less stable. A couple of days after the walk, I put my smartphone on the window - it again calculated that it was one hundred and fifty meters from my house.

Those. I kind of understand that there are situations when devices pick up satellites for a long time. This is fine. But to assume that you have completely determined your location, but at the same time show it incorrectly, is dishonest.

General characteristics

Type

Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to choose a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.

Connection

Standard GSM 900/1800/1900, 3G Interfaces

Almost all modern smartphones have Wi-Fi and USB interfaces. Bluetooth and IRDA are a little less common. Wi-Fi is used to connect to the Internet. USB is used to connect your phone to a computer. Bluetooth is also found in many phones. It is used to connect wireless headphones, to connect the phone to wireless speakers, as well as for transferring files. A smartphone equipped with an IRDA interface can be used as universal remote control remote control. Glossary of terms for the category Mobile phones

Wi-Fi 802.11n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.1, USB Satellite navigation

Built-in GPS modules and GLONASS allow you to determine the coordinates of your phone using signals from satellites. In the absence of GPS, a modern smartphone can determine its own location using signals from base stations mobile operator. However, finding coordinates using satellite signals is usually much more accurate. Glossary of terms for the category Mobile phones

GPS A-GPS system yes

Memory and processor

CPU

IN modern phones and smartphones usually use special processors - SoC (System on Chip, system on a chip), which, in addition to the processor itself, house graphics core, memory controller, input/output device controller, etc. Therefore, the processor largely determines the set of functions and performance of the device.

The mobile device market is divided into several segments. The most crowded is the budget one. It combines models priced up to 10,000 rubles. More than half of the phones are from Chinese brands. Most often, the names of manufacturers in this category are familiar to a small number of buyers, so choosing a truly worthwhile model turns into torture. However, global brands do not stand aside, competing with Chinese products. For example, the LG (H422) Spirit smartphone is in this segment. Reviews about it are quite good. Of course, there are some shortcomings, but all of them are fully compensated by the low price.

In this article the reader will be able to familiarize himself with detailed description models from the Korean manufacturer LG. The focus will be on technical specifications and real reviews owners about Spirit H422.

Equipment

The first thing that indicates that this gadget belongs to the budget category is the packaging. The manufacturer chose a fairly simple box, designed without any frills. White background, typical smartphone photo, brief characteristics- this is all that the buyer will see. However, the design of the packaging box did not cause particularly negative reviews, which cannot be said about the packaging. The set of elements shocked many buyers. The LG Spirit H422 phone is sold without a headset. According to many, the manufacturer could have at least included entry-level headphones in the box. But in defense of this model, let's say that everything else is in stock. This Charger, rechargeable battery, spare back cover and cable for connecting to a PC with a micro-USB connector. Of course, there is also documentation. As you can see, there is nothing remarkable in the set of components, so the Spirit H422 gadget is a typical “state budget” gadget. As for the rest of the equipment, let's look at it one by one.

Design

It is thanks to the unusual design that the LG Spirit H422 received rave reviews. The “trick” of this model is the curved screen. Can such a decision be called a virtue that reveals ample opportunities apparatus? Most likely no. Most users are inclined to believe that the manufacturer simply wanted to stir up the interest of buyers in this way.

Externally, the LG Spirit H422 is designed quite typically, as for touch phone. The body is completely made of plastic. The shape of the upper and lower ends is slightly rounded. This acts as a mitigating feature. On the front panel, 80% is occupied by the screen. It is framed by a thin black frame, which thickens at the top and lower parts. There is no standard control panel in this model; instead, the company logo is displayed. Soft keys are on the screen. At the top of the frame there was room for optics, sensors and speakers.

The location of the mechanical keys in the LG Spirit H422 will surprise buyers. Unlike most other smartphones, they are displayed on the back cover. In order to unlock the screen or change the volume, you need to use them. These buttons are located immediately below the “window” of the main camera. There is also a flash and a stereo output speaker.

Thanks to this solution, the developers made the side edges of the LG Spirit H422 non-functional. The only thing you can see on the ends is a microphone and a USB port (bottom) and a standard-type audio jack (top).

Screen

The first thing that catches your eye when examining a smartphone is the screen. As mentioned above, it has an unusual shape. This gives the device not only sophistication, but also practicality. For example, if you place the phone on a hard surface, the formation of scratches can be completely eliminated, since the side edges act as support. But the advantages of the LG Spirit H422 are not limited to this. The technical characteristics of the display are fully consistent with the budget segment. This is indicated by the typical resolution for this category - 1280x720 px. The pixel density (312 ppi) eliminates graininess and separation into “squares”. The diagonal size is 4.7 inches. Buyers have no comments regarding the contrast level. Testing of this model showed good viewing angle results. They turned out to be quite wide. When the body is tilted vertically and horizontally, the color and brightness remain virtually unchanged.

Display type - HD IPS. The manufacturer used quite new technology- In-Cell Touch. Its essence lies in the use of a layer of tin and indium oxides. Thanks to this, the developers were able to significantly increase screen bandwidth and reduce the weight of the phone.

LG Spirit H422: processor specifications

An equally important indicator of modern smartphones is the hardware “filling”. At its core, developers use processors of different performance. In LG's Spirit H422 phone, preference was given to the chipset trademark MediaTek. The characteristics of the MT6582 model (namely, it is installed on this device) are quite good. The processor is based on four ARM Cortex-A7 cores. During operation of the gadget, each can be accelerated to 1300 MHz. Index clock frequency not very high, but this does not prevent the smartphone from working quickly and coping with almost all tasks.

When examining the performance capabilities of the LG (H422) Spirit, the characteristics of the video card cannot be ignored. Graphics accelerator works in tandem with the main chipset, responsible for displaying all visual elements reproduced on the device screen. This gadget uses the popular Mali-400 MP2 video card (two cores), which has earned a lot of praise.

Memory

The amount of RAM is an equally significant indicator of performance. Unfortunately, in the budget segment it is difficult to find devices with 2 GB. The same applies to the LG Spirit H422. In it, the developers limited themselves to just one gigabyte. As for everyday tasks, this volume is quite enough. The user will feel the limitations only when using resource-intensive applications and modern “heavy” games. But expect supernatural results from devices in price category It’s definitely not worth up to 10,000 rubles.

When reviewing the gadget, it is necessary to announce the characteristics of the integrated memory. The smartphone has 8 GB storage for installing software. Let us immediately draw the attention of buyers to the fact that about half is left for personal purposes, since the rest of the space is occupied system files. However, don't be upset. The developers have provided a slot for installing memory cards. The device works without problems with 32 GB flash drives. This allows you to download a large number of music, movies, games and other applications.

LG (H422) Spirit: battery specifications

A significant advantage of modern smartphones is their long service life. battery life. This criterion is determined by performance processes, screen characteristics and, of course, the battery. As for the first two points, they have already been discussed above. Now it’s worth talking about the BL-52UHB battery. Its type is removable. Capacity - 2100 mAh (7.8 Wh). What can device owners expect? Under intense load, the numbers will be disappointing. For example, players will have to charge their phone after two hours. Playing a video will drain the battery in 3-3.5 hours. The user can count on 7-8 hours of autonomy only if next load: making calls with a total duration of 20 minutes on a 3G network, devote the same amount of time to operating the camera (recording video, taking photos).

The developers have provided the ability to charge via a USB cable from other devices (laptop, PC, etc.), but the process takes about 5 hours. Most users advise using only network adapter, since the battery is restored in approximately 3 hours in this way.

Camera

The LG Spirit H422 Titan smartphone is equipped with two cameras. This is not some significant advantage, since almost all gadgets of this type have such content. The manufacturer clearly did not set a goal to surprise users with the resolution and quality of the images. You can judge this by knowing the characteristics of the cameras. The front optics are based on a 1-megapixel sensor. Naturally, we are not talking about the quality of the images at all. This camera can only be used for video calls.

For the main optics, the developers chose an 8-megapixel matrix. Users claim that the pictures taken by it turn out pretty good. Maximum size photo - 3264 × 2448 pixels. There is a flash, face detection, autofocus, and gesture recognition. There are several settings that the user can change depending on personal preferences.

The video is recorded in a resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. The shooting speed is 30 frames per second. You can adjust color effects, white balance, select scene mode, and more.

Platform

LG Spirit H422 Titan comes with Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop). The developers did not limit themselves to the “bare” version of the “OS”, using a proprietary shell. The graphics system can easily be called original. It has many individual features, thanks to which it has a unique design that is loved by users. The only thing that can cause inconvenience is the new OS interface. Many people who have not previously used smartphones from this company will have to certain time get used to the phone.

Communications

Buyers' interest in this model was attracted by the support of two SIM cards. Thanks to this opportunity, users select the most favorable rates, saving significant amounts of money on service fees mobile operators. The phone is also equipped with a standard set of communications. Users will have the opportunity to work with GSM, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS and, of course, Wi-Fi.
