Mobile communication technologies and data transfer speeds

Communication between devices on mobile networks is carried out using technologies that provide different data transfer rates.

Operating system

An operating system is a system software that manages and coordinates the operation of hardware components in a device.

SoC (System on Chip)

A system on a chip (SoC) includes all the most important hardware components of a mobile device on one chip.

SoC (System on Chip) A system on a chip (SoC) integrates various hardware components such as a processor, GPU, memory, peripherals, interfaces, etc., as well as the software necessary for their operation.	Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q
Technological process Information about the technological process by which the chip is manufactured. Nanometers measure half the distance between elements in the processor.	45 nm (nanometers)
Processor (CPU) The primary function of a mobile device's processor (CPU) is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications.	ARM Cortex-A5
Processor size The size (in bits) of a processor is determined by the size (in bits) of the registers, address buses, and data buses. 64-bit processors have higher performance compared to 32-bit processors, which in turn are more powerful than 16-bit processors.	32 bit
Instruction Set Architecture Instructions are commands with which the software sets/controls the operation of the processor. Information about the instruction set (ISA) that the processor can execute.	ARMv7
Level 0 cache (L0) Some processors have L0 (level 0) cache, which is faster to access than L1, L2, L3, etc. The advantage of having such memory is not only higher performance, but also reduced power consumption.	4 kB + 4 kB (kilobytes)
Level 1 cache (L1) Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster than both system memory and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.	16 kB + 16 kB (kilobytes)
Level 2 cache (L2) L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory.	1024 kB (kilobytes) 1 MB (megabytes)
Number of processor cores The processor core performs program instructions. There are processors with one, two or more cores. Having more cores increases performance by allowing multiple instructions to be executed in parallel.	4
CPU clock speed The clock speed of a processor describes its speed in terms of cycles per second. It is measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz).	1200 MHz (megahertz)
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Graphics processing unit (GPU) handles calculations for various 2D/3D graphic applications. IN mobile devices ah it is used most often by games, consumer interface, video applications, etc.	Qualcomm Adreno 203
Volume random access memory(RAM) Random access memory (RAM) is used by the operating system and all installed applications. Data stored in RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted.	1 GB (gigabytes)

Lenovo A706- Excellent value for money and quality. Lenovo has not been on the mobile device market for very long, however, it can boast of a wide model range smartphones by affordable price. Among all the devices, this model of the quad-core Lenovo A706 phone, made in an original case for a representative of a budget series of devices, with quite impressive parameters and a price of $130, will not go unnoticed. Let's take a closer look at this smartphone.

Equipment

Family configuration mobile phones Lenovo is something that, as a rule, does not change from model to model, here we see consistency and in addition to the phone, inside the box there is Charger, 2000 mAh battery, microUSB cable for connecting to a PC and charging, headphones, as well as a set of documentation with a warranty card.

Characteristics

Lenovo A706 is equipped with a quad-core Snapdragon MSM8225Q processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The manufacturer installed 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory. The phone also supports maps MicroSD memory with a capacity of up to 32 GB, so the volume can be quickly increased. The device's 2000 mAh battery will last for about a day battery life. Of course, if you turn on the energy saving mode and periodically turn off data transmission via Wi-Fi and 3G, the smartphone will work for 2 days. The thickness of the device case is 10.4 mm, which is an acceptable indicator for budget device. The overall dimensions of the device are 136 x 69 x 10.4 mm.

The phone has 2 slots for SIM cards. One module operates in GSM and WCDMA modes, and the second SIM only in GSM. The device contains GPS, WI-FI and Bluetooth modules. In the performance test Antutu Benchmark 3.3.2 Lenovo A706 scores 11,000 points, which is not the maximum value for a budget device of this class, but at the same time a fairly good result. The smartphone is pre-installed with a fairly modern operating system. operating system Android 4.1.

Screen and sound

As for the display, it’s not bad at all. Before us good IPS matrix with a resolution of 480 x 854. The viewing angles of the screen are quite good, of course there is some inversion, but this is not at all critical for games and practically does not cause any inconvenience in work. And then, don’t forget that this is not a top-end device. The sound in the phone supports the Dolby Dgital Plus high-quality sound system.

Camera

As for the cameras, they don't shine with anything special here. The main module has a 5 megapixel matrix and flash. It’s quite suitable for everyday photos of cats, but nothing more. The front one has a 0.3 megapixel sensor and copes well with the task at hand - video calls.

Video from camera

Appearance

The appearance of the smartphone is quite unusual, as for a budget device from the Lenovo family. On the back panel, elements of the designers' creativity appear in the form of a silver insert on the top of the cover, which gives the phone its own style and will be difficult to confuse with another device in the lineup. The phone is available in two colors - white and pink, which primarily positions it as a women's smartphone. On the front of the device there is a Lenovo logo, a speaker grille, a 4.5-inch screen with an IPS matrix, a 0.3 MP camera, three touch navigation buttons, proximity and light sensors, and a microphone.

The rear part houses a 5 MP camera with flash, a speaker grille and the inscriptions: Lenovo and Dolby Dgital Plus.

On the top of the case are: a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a power button. The volume rocker is located on the left side. On the right side there is a connector for microUSB. There is a special gap on the bottom edge for easy removal of the back cover.

1. Phone - good quality speeches, good sensitivity. Cards do not get lost or freeze. Call and vibration are quite loud. Speaker volume and bluetooth headsets- the norm (for me). 2. WI-FI - excellent. Connects quickly, the range is no worse than others. 3. Performance - corresponds to a mid-level smart (for example - Asphalt 7, FIFA 14 by EA SPORTS - no problems). There is enough RAM, applications can be transferred to an SD card. 4. Screen - viewing angles are large, the resolution is sufficient for comfortable viewing of photos and videos. 5. Camera. Intermediate (beginner) level. Good pictures only in bright daylight. 6. The sound is not bad (depending on the headphones and player); Video (example) mkv format. bitrate 20 Mbit/s - reproduces. 7. GPS module. Overall works well (d

The phone is very good in terms of price/quality ratio. Quite nimble. The low screen resolution is almost invisible. Good color rendition. Many people complain about the battery: this is my first phone on Android, I, having heard a lot of complaints that Android quickly eats up the battery, was ready to charge it every half day. And specifically about this phone they write that the battery drains quickly. In practice, I have not noticed such a problem: almost all day on the Internet, several hours of listening to music and a couple of episodes of the series drain the battery by half for the whole day. Those. With intensive use, the battery lasts for 2 days easily. An excellent camera for its 5 megapixels, it photographs text very well, autofocus also does its job; however, the quality of photographs, in my opinion, greatly depends on the lighting

Everything except the shortcomings described below. And the photo camera is not bad. Nimble.

Any applications fly, gig of RAM, with active use it lasts a day of charging, if you don’t touch it, it will eat up 10 percent in just a day. The design is of course excellent, but the assembly is of high quality: nothing creaks, nothing moves.

but: the phone slows down (sometimes), there is very little RAM, when I found out that lenovo phones there are three types (I won’t list them) I gave up on this brand altogether, the phone can send messages on its own quick messages, the camera could be better.

1. The most basic thing is the battery. with active use 3 hours - and you are cut off from the world
2. camera. There’s no smell of 5MP here. The front camera is just for show
3. screen. it presses where it wants, but not where it should!
4. back cover and the case itself is not scratch resistant. The phone is one year old, from this year I probably carried it for a week without a case and it’s all in nicks.
5. reboots when it wants, it's buggy. very difficult to launch applications
6. memory, a sad story for all androids, but we will also note it.
7. sometimes throws out the second sim
8. 3G disappears all the time, and it’s not the SIM card, verified
9. firmware. You can’t go beyond Android 4.3 with this device, the guys decided that this was enough
10. Heats up while charging and when wi-fi is connected
11. weak connector

The camera with the main software is a little weak, but if you download it from the market, this can be fixed. Then the texts can be removed and in general the photos become more colorful. There is not enough memory, no matter how many flash drives you insert, it will not affect updates. Many may simply not update due to lack of memory.

Screen - color and brightness change slightly (I emphasize slightly) when the viewing angle changes. Outdoors, in sunny weather, the brightness is not sufficient.
Autofocus is not fast. 2000 mAh battery - works "to the limit"
(but to say that this capacity is emergency for this smart would not be correct).

There are some disadvantages:
1) The main problem: when the phone is lying on a horizontal surface, the touch buttons are very unresponsive (in the hand everything works like a Swiss watch).
2) Of the declared gigabyte of RAM, only 756 MB is free, and 200-300 MB are constantly occupied by something unknown (perhaps you need to work some magic on it to overclock the RAM), but there is enough for all applications.
3) Everyone praises the build quality, but my lid squeaks slightly in the lower right corner (although this is not critical, it is still not very pleasant).
4) Inconvenient to zoom
5) Multi-touch for 2 touches (in practice I did not have to use big amount touches)/
6) Everyone praises the sound - I didn’t like the sound. Sometimes it slows down for no particular reason. Don’t notice a particularly pleasant sound

Build quality is flimsy. The lock button is often stuck. The flash came off over time. As a player, it's lousy. The sound is metallic, no application will help (but this is more for sound gourmets) The video camera is nothing, but I don’t use it. I've been using it for a year and a half, and the battery is slowly dying.

for some reason very low speed downloading the firmware, and its size is surprising: 536 MB....

There is no magnetic sensor declared by the manufacturer, so you can forget about compasses and other smart tools. The original headset is very quiet; on a busy street you can hardly hear music or conversation. It’s difficult to find accessories, the case is only if it’s a universal retractable one, I could barely find the book case in size, and then I had to stuff it in there upside down (the camera immediately falls off) and cut off one strap so that it wouldn’t put pressure power button=). The charging and USB cable must be pulled very carefully.

The camera (poor), if you switch the main memory to SD - it’s buggy, dead pixel sometimes, the battery is rather weak (if you play, it will land in 3-4 hours, if you just sometimes surf the Internet and make calls, it will last a day).

Devices produced by Lenovo have received recognition from users more than once. One of these smartphones is the budget A706.

Design

Quite often, the company introduces small design highlights into its devices. The device also did not go without some correction of its boring appearance.

The changes did not affect the front side; it is difficult to distinguish it from the rest of the phones, but back panel has a glossy insert. This decision significantly diluted the boring appearance of the “A” series.

Apart from the insertion, there are no special changes in the device. The body is made entirely of plastic, and not particularly high quality. The phone creaks when squeezed, which suggests that the build quality is a bit let down.

The arrangement of buttons and parts will not surprise a person who has already encountered Lenovo devices. The display is adjacent to the camera, conversational speaker, sensors, and control buttons.

On the back side there is the main camera, naturally with a flash, and the company logo. In addition, there is a speaker at the bottom. Apart from the insertion, there are no special changes observed here.

The left side has a cable connection socket, and the right side has a volume control. On top there is a power button, as well as an input with a 3.5 jack for headphones.

The device is produced in several colors: black, white, and pink.

Screen

The device is equipped with a 4.5-inch diagonal with an IPS matrix. This is quite enough for the Lenovo A706, but the quality of the display itself leaves much to be desired. It seems that the screen is not small for 2013; it has a resolution of only 854 x 480 pixels. Accordingly, pixels are noticeable during operation, and this spoils the impression of the device.

The screen doesn't behave well in the sun either. Even at the highest brightness, the display fades. A good viewing angle slightly improves the impression, but overall the screen leaves much to be desired.

Filling

The MTK processor usually used in Chinese devices was replaced by Qualcomm. It’s hard to say whether it’s better or worse for the Lenovo A706. Each processor has its own advantages.

The performance of the smartphone is quite good for a budget processor frequency of 1.2 GHz. This allows it to compete with newer inexpensive devices.

In principle, all the filling of the device corresponds to modern state employees. There is a whole gigabyte of RAM, and this is an excellent indicator for a smartphone produced in 2013.

And here inner memory lets me down a little. Only 4 gigabytes are installed, taking into account the costs of the system, there will be about 3 GB available for use. Of the remaining, only 1 GB is allocated for applications, and 2 for other needs. Such a solution will significantly reduce the ability to install large games and the number of programs.

The disadvantage is slightly mitigated by the possibility of installing a flash card of as much as 32 GB. Having such an amount of memory, the user can be sure of the absence of slowdowns and problems in operation.

Battery

The operating time of 16 hours declared by the company is somewhat exaggerated for the Lenovo A706. The battery capacity is as follows: only 2000 maH. Considering the screen and all the hardware inside the device, you can count on about 5-6 hours of operation without additional charging. And in standby mode, with minimal use, the phone can work for a day.

In general, the battery meets all the needs of the phone, but if desired, you can replace it with a larger analogue.

System

As always, Android devices from Lenovo use a proprietary shell. The device operates in version 4.1.2, which is quite good for a smartphone of previous years.

Most advanced and modern programs may not start, but there will be plenty to choose from to suit every taste. If there is an urgent need, it is possible to update the system to a new one, although the choice of firmware will come down to different assemblies.

Connection

The main advantage of the phone is that it works with multiple SIM cards. Of course, it’s difficult to surprise someone with such a feature, but the A706 has two radio modules installed.

It is the communication modules that allow two SIM cards to work simultaneously. For example, the user will be able to receive calls and use the Internet overnight.

This pleasant dignity is also reinforced by working with everyone useful features communications. The device's quick connection to GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth make the smartphone stand out from the crowd.

Sound

The device has good sound due to the use of Dolby Digital with the Plus prefix. The quality is really better both in headphones and from speakers.

Naturally, when comparing the sound of the A706 and recognized music leaders, the “Chinese” loses. But for a budget Android it’s quite acceptable.

Performance

The hardware present may seem rather mediocre, but the phone produces good results. There is no lack of RAM or processing speed. The device runs medium-demand games and applications quickly and without problems.

Camera

When shooting with a Lenovo A706, the photos will turn out to be pretty decent, because the resolution of 2592 x 1944 is not bad for a budget employee. It’s even a little surprising that a camera with 5 megapixels has such quality.

Of course, there are some drawbacks: the noise-reducing filter deprives the image of fine details.

The device also has a front-facing camera, but it is not capable of causing much excitement. The simplest camera for video communication without any frills.

Equipment

The delivery set is standard. In the box, the buyer will see, in fact, the Lenovo A706 itself. Instructions, headphones, network adapter, USB cable and warranty card included.

Advantages

Among all the advantages of the device, I would like to highlight the presence of a radio module that allows you to work with several cards.

It should also be noted that there is good hardware for a budget device. In total, these advantages make the A706 an excellent smartphone for work.

In passing, we can also note the interesting design, which makes the smartphone stand out a little from the general background. In fact, all the advantages end there.

Flaws

The phone has about the same number of disadvantages. This includes a display with poor resolution for such a diagonal and a battery of average power.

The camera's shortcomings and the small amount of built-in memory will be more minor.

A noticeable disadvantage is the poor assembly of the device. The creaking and plastic of the case can scare away the buyer and persuade them to choose a phone that is more reliable in quality.
