Telephone P8000: overview, specifications and reviews

Despite the fact that many Chinese smartphones, presented periodically in the market, are cheap, low-quality copies of other branded and more well-known devices, there is a category of devices (even in this segment) that deserve attention. In today's article, we will tell you about one of these phones. Despite the fact that it was released by a manufacturer from China, the quality of its assembly and materials is high enough to talk about this phone as a worthy competitor to some budget devices.

Meet the Telephone P8000 in front of you. The review, which we have prepared, will contain technical information about the device, its positive and negative qualities, as well as customer feedback. After reading the article, you will be able to form your own opinion on the device.

Positioning

As already noted, the quality of the phone described by us fully corresponds to the world market. This explains how the developers managed to ensure that the model was sold in different countries in such significant volumes.

And Telephone P8000 itself (the reviews confirm this) can be called budgetary (its cost is about 200 dollars), but a strong gadget due to the technical stuffing and the features that it possesses. At the same time, a stylish, distinctive design and materials pleasant to the touch do not betray the "Chinese" in this "medium" (if not the "flagship").

Appearance of the model

Direct characterization of the model should begin with a presentation of its design - how the device looks, and what the buyer sees in it in the first place. As they say, they meet on clothes ...

Externally it seems that the developer did not regret the metal on his Telephone P8000. The review shows that the back cover (having a plastic base) imitates the so-called embossed carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and on the perimeter of the case the model has metallic elements. They look really expensive, and the hand is nice to touch the cold metal; Also not the last role is played by the weightiness of the apparatus. To some extent, the Telephone P8000's reviews of the owners define the model even too cumbersome - and this is difficult to argue with.

In all other respects (as far as design is concerned), the manufacturers clearly did not fail. The model has attractive touch buttons with backlighting on the front side, chrome edging of the edges of the case, black-colored space around the display (which creates the appearance that the latter is an order of magnitude larger than it actually is).

Screen

By the way, about the display - Telephone P8000 (the review is a confirmation), too, have something to be proud of. The model has a colorful IPS-screen resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, a diagonal of 5.5 inches. This characteristic indicates a high density of points, of which the screen consists - about 401 pixels per inch.

In practice, all this is expressed in the form of a clear, colorful picture and excellent indicators of the brightness of the screen. Add some software settings and an ambient light sensor - and get a display that can adapt to comfortable operation in all conditions.

Coverage of the display is made of resistant glass, which can prevent scratches and chips during phone strikes. As the reviews show, to some extent this really saves the device from damage. In addition, the display is also covered with an oleophobic layer, which should (ideally) prevent the appearance of fingerprints. However, the reviews indicate that this layer is not so effective.

In all other respects, the display of the Telephone P8000 smartphone, the discussion of which we are currently conducting, deserves praise.

CPU

Now let's pass to the characteristic of the "heart" of the phone - its processor. As the official technical information from the manufacturer shows, the model operates on the basis of MediaTek MT6753. Call it powerful or fast, of course, not. As the tests show, its 8 cores with a clock speed of up to 1.3 GHz turned out to be not as productive in practice as it might initially seem. Of course, you can run the vast majority of games from "Market" with its help without problems, but there is no need to talk about any bulky products.

In addition, as the characteristics of users who have experience with the model refer to Telephone P8000, the phone can occasionally hang in everyday life, even when it is not "loaded". Obviously, these are the disadvantages of the platform on which developers decided to save.

Memory

In the appendage to not the strongest "heart" on the model installed 3 GB of RAM. In general, this is enough to talk about the well-coordinated and accurate operation of the device from a programmatic point of view.

Do not let developers down and in the matter of physical memory, installing on the device 16 GB. Of these, about 5 GB is occupied by system files. Thus, the user is available 11 gigabytes, which is enough for basic needs (no frills). However, on the Telephone P8000 (instruction confirms), you can install an additional microSD card, which can expand the space by another 32 GB. Thus, it is not difficult to convert a smartphone into a real portable multimedia center.

operating system

On the phone, as shown by practical tests, installed outdated, even at the time of writing the article, Android 5.1. It can not be said that there can be any claims to this platform, and developers are trying to keep up with trends and equip smartphones with the latest software.

The system is provided in a "bare" form and, in principle, there are no changes in the interface from the developer here. In addition, as evidenced by feedback from specialists, the model has support for OS updates. This means that after connecting to the Wi-Fi device will automatically update to the most current version of Android.

Battery

Considering the phone and its characteristics, immediately noticeable is the fact that manufacturers have paid special attention to the performance of the device. At least, this can be evidenced by a weighty battery, whose capacity reaches 4165 mAh. Its dimensions are so large that by weight it probably takes the lion's share of the total weight of the model. Perhaps this also explains the cumbersome nature of the model as a whole.

On the other hand, such a capacious battery allows us to state that the phone can last longer on a single charge. This, in turn, high autonomy, which is so highly appreciated by users.

Reviews

Recommendations that would relate to the "hero" of our review, we managed to find a lot. However, this work was not special.

Users who managed to work with the phone have different opinions about what this device is. Many, of course, praise its every virtue - a powerful battery, a productive "heart," a bright, colorful screen. Along with such reviews, there are other characteristics that concern the Telephone P8000. The review can not be opened for them, for the reason that it is necessary to use them for at least a few weeks to identify them.

So, from such most essential shortcomings it should be noted the impossibility of the device to "keep" the connection stably. This is a serious problem, since the device can go into "out of range" mode for no apparent reason and, of course, leave the user without the ability to make and receive calls.

Also among the shortcomings of the smartphone can be attributed too bright backlighting of "home" buttons located under the screen (you can not change the intensity of their glow by default), or, for example, periodic (uncaused) freezes of the device. Maybe the reason for these "bugs" is the program part of the Telephone P8000. Firmware, however, allows you to get rid of only a part of them. But some problems are not related to this and relate, for example, to the hardware part. For example, users note the deterioration of the display over time, the appearance of "ripples".

All this and a number of other minor (and not very) shortcomings, of course, worsen the opinion of the owner of the smartphone about the product. And, judging by the feedback, this is very annoying to everyone who is confronted with this situation.

conclusions

Of course, it is necessary to draw conclusions independently, based on the information that we provided. I would like to note that the phone described in the article, in case of completion and elimination of the problems described above, could constitute a worthy competition to the "flagship" Samsung and HTC. Perhaps someday we will see the success of the Telephone Company and its like, but so far we have to be content with what is.

The P8000 smartphone is functional, but at the same time capable of failing at any time. Therefore, it can be advised to be used as an auxiliary means of communication, but not as the main working device.
