LG Leon mobile phone: reviews, specs, and characteristics. Smartphone LG Leon H324: Review

A stylish entry-level gadget is LG Leon. Reviews about this device, its hardware and software specifications - this is the subject of this article. Well, on the strength of his strengths and weaknesses will be given advice on its acquisition.

For whom is this gadget?

The price, hardware stuffing and software component of this phone clearly indicate that it refers to entry-level solutions or, as they are called, a budget class. Some raisins, for example, in the form of a curved display, he does not. But there is a full set of the functions most demanded for today. The design of this device is typical for a series of mobile phones of this manufacturer for this year. The most interesting color version of the case is LG Leon H324 Titan. Reviews it is allocated, as the most vivid and unusual.

Package Contents

The entry-level device initially can not boast of a good bundle. It includes a minimal set of components, which only provides a minimum level of device performance, and there is nothing superfluous in it. And the bundle of this gadget is as follows:

• Actually the device itself with the battery installed.
• Standard charger with output port "YUSB".
• Universal interface cable for charging the battery or for synchronizing with a PC.
• Warranty card.
• A guide for using the device.

As noted earlier, the body of this gadget can be of three colors: gold, titanium and white. All of them easily collect dirt. And to damage them is not difficult, especially stands out in this respect LG Leon H324 Titan. This is a compulsory testimonial. Therefore, to exclude such problems, it is necessary to purchase a protective film immediately after purchase and paste it together with the cover. Also, the owner of such a device needs to additionally purchase an external drive. Well, the stereo headset will also be superfluous. Without it, the radio will not work.

Appearance

Most of the front panel of this gadget is the display with a diagonal of 4.5 inches. Above it is a conversational speaker, touch elements and a front camera for video calls. Under the display a plastic strip with a manufacturer's logo is displayed. But the control panel is moved to the bottom of the screen and consists of 4 buttons: in addition to the three standard ones, there is also an additional one, which provides a quick switching between the active SIM cards. On the upper edge of the smartphone is an audio port, and on the bottom - "MicroUSB". The volume and lock buttons are displayed on the back cover. There is also an eyehole of the main camera and LED lighting for it. As mentioned earlier, there are three color variants of this device: white, titanium and gold. Users identify the smartphone LG Leon H324 Titan. Reviews indicate its unusual color. Well, the version of "Gold" very much resembles last year's "apple" gadget in color.

CPU

A reliable and energy-efficient processor is installed in LG Leon. Reviews also highlight its low level of performance. It is not necessary to expect anything more from the CPA, which was presented two years ago. All this is MT6582 of the company "MediaTek". It includes 4 computational modules of the architecture "A7". When solving the most difficult problems, the frequency of each of them can increase to 1.3 GHz. This is quite enough to solve most problems: reading books, listening to music tracks and radio, playing video, navigating and so on. Even with the most simple games, he will cope without problems. But the last generation of 3D games with the most serious requirements for hardware filling of the smartphone on this device will not be launched: there will not be enough computing power of the CPU.

Display and video accelerator

Of course, the screen - this is one of the main advantages, which can boast against competitors LG LG smartphone. The reviews highlight his excellent quality. The display matrix is made using True IPS technology. Accordingly, color rendition, viewing angles and energy efficiency of its censures do not cause. Another plus of the screen is the lack of an air gap between the sensor surface of the front panel and the screen matrix. The resolution of the display in this case is 854x480. The pixel density is 220 ppi, it is quite difficult to distinguish an individual pixel. That is, the image on the display is quite high quality. For the processing of graphic information this device is equipped with a graphic card "Mali-400MP2". Of course, it can not boast of high performance, but it is quite enough for unloading the CPU, which because of this is only engaged in software calculations and is not "distracted" by graphic information.

Cameras

The quality of the photo and video of the main camera can be called acceptable. She has a 5 MP sensor element. There is also an autofocus system and an LED flash. Accordingly, the photos are obtained from her not bad quality. But the front camera in this device is really modest. Her sensor is only 0.3 MP. This is enough to make video calls. But there is nothing more to expect from it.

Memory

Most of all the questions are caused by the memory subsystem in LG Leon. The reviews indicate a shortage of RAM. Her here is only 768 MB. At the same time, about 500 MB of them are occupied by system processes. The user can only count on 268 MB. For one or two unpretentious applications this will be enough. Well, if you try to run more programs, the phone will be very "slow". A specific solution to the lack of RAM can be the installation of a special program for its regular cleaning. But still it would be better if there were 1 GB in the gadget. The capacity of the built-in drive is 4 GB. About half of them are filled with the system software. The remaining volume is clearly not enough for comfortable work. Therefore, without an external flash drive, the owner of an "intelligent" smartphone can not do. Its capacity in this case can reach 32 GB.

Autonomy

The capacity of the complete battery in this gadget is 1900 mAh. Given the diagonal of the display device in 4.5 inches, enough energy-efficient processor and the inability to run resource-intensive applications, the reduced battery capacity is enough for 2 days of battery life at an average load level on the device. With a more intensive use of the smart phone, this value is enough for a day. If you reduce the load on the gadget, you can get three days of battery life. These are very modest indicators for today. A specific solution to this problem may be an external additional battery, but it will have to be purchased separately for an additional fee. This is a significant disadvantage, but in this case this gadget will not let you down under any circumstances.

Interface set

A typical list of interfaces is equipped with LG Leon. The reviews highlight the following:

• "Wai-Fay" is the main way to receive and send information to the Internet.
• "Blutuz" - an ideal way to connect wireless headphones and exchange information with other smartphones.
• GPS allows you without any problems to turn this "smart" phone into a navigator.
• Full support for all currently existing mobile networks, including 4G.
• Wired interfaces are represented by the ports "MicroUSB" and "3.5 mm Audio Jack".

Software

One of the most recent versions under the number 5.0 operating system "Android" is installed on the smartphone LG Leon H324. Reviews highlight this his plus. But at the same time there is a rather significant problem: the outdated hardware stuffing and fresh system software are not compatible. The full potential of the most recent version of "Android" on such a 32-bit chip can not be revealed. Yes, and the amount of RAM in 768 MB leads to the fact that even such simple applications as "Phonebook" and "SMS", "slow down" on this device. Of course, some optimization of the program code on this device is completed, but this is clearly not enough to solve the problem with the lack of hardware resources. "MT6582" was excellent for version 4.4, but for 5.0 it is not enough. And this is a miscalculation of Korean engineers.

How much can you buy now?

To date, $ 110 is estimated smartphone LG Leon H324. Reviews indicate that the cost of this device is significantly overstated. The device with similar or even better hardware parameters, but less than a well-known brand, is estimated at $ 80. For example, the Dodgee X5 boasts almost the same parameters (the difference in the amount of RAM - 1 GB versus 768 MB and the presence of an air gap between the sensor and the screen), but it costs $ 30 cheaper. This difference for a smartphone budget class is critical, overpay an additional $ 30 per brand potential buyer of such a device certainly will not.

Owner feedback

This smartphone boasts a number of advantages: high-quality screen, flawless assembly of the case, a fairly efficient computing platform. But they are all leveled by one significant minus - high cost. The price of this device is obviously too high. In this price category, the priority is lower cost with similar characteristics. The only category that this gadget will be interested in is the fans of the products of this South Korean manufacturer who highlight the color version of LG Leon Gold. Reviews indicate a certain degree of similarity with last year's iPhone 6.

Results

If not for the inflated price, it would definitely become a hit of LG Leon sales. Comments on this clearly and unambiguously indicate. But here's the extra $ 30 in the cost of the device become a serious obstacle along the way. So it turns out that the same LG Leon H324 Gold loses to its direct competitors in terms of sales. Reviews highlight its unusual color and high quality of the device as a whole, but the manufacturer's unreasonable pricing policy prevents the active distribution of this gadget.
