An entry-level smartphone with a 4-core processor, low cost and excellent functionality - all this is completely true for Beeline Pro 3. Reviews about this mobile device, its capabilities against the background of other budget-level gadgets, as well as technical specifications will be considered in our review.
Niche of the mobile device. Why did he appear? Equipment
Very, very low cost and very modest technical characteristics do not essentially leave a choice and are assigned by default to Beeline Pro 3 entry-level solutions. Reviews, a description of its hardware components only complement this picture. And this smart phone owes its appearance to the fact that Vimpelcom, which owns the domestic Beeline operator, decided to expand the list of services provided by selling mobile devices that can only work on the cellular network of the same name as the mobile operator communication. Such a marketing move solves 2 problems at once: it allows new and existing Beeline subscribers to receive a high-quality entry-level gadget for a relatively low price and increases the company's profitability due to additional profit. The complete list of this mobile device includes the following:
Appearance and Ergonomics
A typical smartphone in a “monoblock” case is Beeline Pro 3. The reviews of the owners of this mobile device highlight its impeccable build quality. Its front panel is filled with a display with a diagonal length of 5 inches, a touch control panel, a speaker and a sensitive element of the front camera. The volume control system and the lock button in this device are spaced on different sides. The first is on the left edge of the smartphone case, and the second is on the right. Wired ports are grouped on the top side of the gadget. The main camera, its LED backlight system, the Beeline logo and the holes of the loud speaker are displayed on the back cover.
Gadget central processor
The time-tested processor solution (released back in 2014) lies at the heart of the Beeline Pro 3 mobile device. Reviews, specifications and energy efficiency are indeed one of the best in the segment of budget class chips. This is SC7731 developed by Spreadtrum. This processor device includes 1 computing cluster, which consists of 4 computing units of the "A7" architecture. In this case, each core individually can vary its clock frequency in the range from 700 MHz to 1.2 GHz. Moreover, 2 factors simultaneously affect the current value. One of them is the temperature of the silicon crystal of the processor device. And the second is the degree of complexity of the program code. The high energy efficiency of this chip is based on the architecture of the cores, and an acceptable level of performance in this case is provided by their number. The manufacturing technology of this CPU complies with 28 nm standards. Among other features of this chip, it is necessary to note the presence of a 2-level cache. The first level of this memory is divided into 2 parts of 32 kb, and the second is general and has a size of 512 kb.
Image processing subsystem
Fairly good graphics subsystem in Beeline Pro 3. Reviews, a review of its technical parameters indicate the presence of a graphics accelerator Mali-400MP2. He just copes with the task entrusted to him: processing the displayed graphic information. The display in this smartphone is made using IPS technology , has a diagonal of 5 inches and displays a picture in 854 x480 format . The result is bright and saturated colors with maximum viewing angles. The pixel density for this mobile device is declared at 225 ppi. As a result, it is very, very difficult to distinguish a single pixel on such a display with the ordinary eye.
Device memory subsystem
The amount of RAM in this mobile device is 1 GB. Its type is DDR3. After the operating system has finished loading, its processes and flows occupy 500-600 Mb, and the user can count on the remaining 400-500 Mb remaining free after that. The capacity of the built-in storage of programs and information in this case has a total capacity of 8 GB. But system software takes about 2.9 GB of them. Therefore, the user for his needs can only use 5.1 GB. If you competently approach the operation of this gadget, then this volume will be quite enough for comfortable work. But it is better to still additionally purchase MicroSD - a card up to 32GB. After that, certainly no problems with the memory subsystem of this device should arise.
Mobile Camera
An excellent main camera, as for an entry-level mobile device, in Beeline Pro 3. The reviews, photos and videos obtained with its help really confirm this. She has a 5 megapixel sensor. Moreover, this is a real value, and there can be no question of any software interpolation technology in this case. There is also autofocus and a backlight system based on a single LED element. As a result, the quality of photographs at a normal level of illumination is really good in this case. 720p video is also of acceptable quality. At the heart of the front camera is a very modest 0.3 megapixel sensor. This value is only enough to make video calls. But for today's very popular selfie, the capabilities of this camera were not enough.
Autonomy
The capacity of the complete battery is 2000 mAh for Beeline Pro 3. Responses of the owners of the device indicate that one of its charge in the average mode of use is enough for 1-2 days. If you launch on a device any difficult task by its standards, then in continuous 4-4.5 hours it will be discharged. Well, in the strictest saving mode, this mobile device can theoretically last 3 days on a single battery charge. Well, it takes about 2 hours to fully charge the battery.
Software
As it should be, Android acts as a system software that controls the Beeline Pro 3 smartphone. Reviews indicate that version 5.1 is current today, and this is not so often seen in the economy class gadget segment. Also, at the system software level, a restriction has been placed on the installation of SIM cards of other operators. This device can only work with a Beeline SIM card. In addition to the typical set of integrated programs for this class of gadgets, here you can also find additional utilities from the operator itself.
Customer reviews. The cost of a mobile device. Pros and cons
Just excellent, as for an economy class device, the Beeline Pro 3 phone turned out. Reviews of subscribers who own such a mobile device, highlight its strengths:
Very low cost of 4990 rubles.
Great CPU. Moreover, both from the standpoint of energy efficiency and productivity.
An excellent memory subsystem, which, if necessary, can be significantly increased.
The autonomy of the gadget is also at a decent level.
The disadvantages of this device are essentially two:
Weak front camera, which is only capable of making video calls. But for the "selfie" you need to buy another, more expensive mobile device.
The device can only work in the network of one mobile operator - Beeline.
Summary
Of course, Beeline Pro 3 was an excellent solution in the segment of economy-class mobile devices. Reviews about the reliability and stability of work only confirm this. If you add to this the low cost and good functionality, it becomes obvious that Beeline does sell quality products at a very low price.
