As part of this material, the BBK S3510 mobile gadget will be examined in detail. Owner reviews, hardware and software specifications of this device, as well as its capabilities - this is what is described in this article.
The history of the device
BBK Company has a strong position in the segment of home cinema and accessories for them. Moreover, the quality and reliability of its products are not satisfactory. More confirmation of this is the reviews of the owners. BBK AV220, for example, one of the best sound amplifiers in this segment, which due to the large number of inputs can be used not only as part of a home theater, but also in many other cases. But this is a very narrow niche and it does not bring large profits at the moment. Therefore, the company's management decided to expand the list of products and aimed at the smartphone segment, which is dynamically developing and constantly growing. One of the first models of mobile devices released under this brand was the subject of this review.
What market segment is it targeting?
Very modest software and hardware specifications for the BBK S3510. Reviews device users prove it once again. The niche of this device is entry-level solutions with a very, very low cost. This is logical: most manufacturers began with the budget, the most massive segment of the market, and only then, when they achieved success, released models of smartphones of the middle and premium levels. This is the way this manufacturer decided to go.
Appearance
A standard candy bar with a touch screen for organizing input - this is how customer reviews characterize this mobile device. BBK S3510 really in terms of design can not stand out from the competition. The front of the display (based on TFT technology) has a diagonal of 3.5 inches and a resolution of 480 x 320. Under the display, a control panel is displayed from the buttons along with the opening of the conversational microphone, and above it is the conversational speaker. On the upper side of the gadget, all wired ports are grouped, namely MicroUSB and a 3.5 mm audio jack. On the right edge is the power and lock button, and on the left - volume controls. On the back cover there is a camera with LED backlight. There is also a loud speaker and manufacturer's logo.
Technical specifications
As noted earlier, the BBK S3510 has very, very modest technical specifications. Reviews of the owners of the gadget indicate this significant drawback. The processor in it is 2-core. Only now its model and clock frequency are not indicated by the manufacturer anywhere. One can only guess about this. The amount of RAM is only 256 MB, and the capacity of the internal drive is 2 GB (part of them is system software). In this case, you can solve the problem with insufficient memory by installing a microSD memory card.
Camera
There is only one main camera in this gadget. She has a sensor element of only 2 megapixels. There is a LED backlight. About autofocus and image stabilization system in this case we are not talking. Relatively high-quality photos can be obtained only in good lighting. This mobile device can record video in MPEG4 format. Only here the quality will be very, very modest.
Battery and its features
The BBK Cross S3510 smartphone comes with a removable 1400 mAh battery. According to the manufacturer, this is enough for 5 hours of continuous conversation or for 240 hours in standby mode. In reality, in normal use, a single charge of this battery will last for 8-12 hours in active use. It is impossible to launch some serious and demanding toys on it because of modest hardware characteristics, and because of this, the battery life cannot be significantly reduced. If you reduce the load and use a mobile phone to a minimum, then you can stretch it for 2-2.5 days on a single battery charge. You can, of course, understaff this device with an external battery, and then the battery life will increase significantly. But the extent to which such a decision is correct must be decided by the owner of the device.
operating system
In this case, the most popular software platform for mobile devices, Android, acts as system software. Its version is 4.2. It is such software that underlies such a gadget as the BBK S3510 smartphone. Reviews indicate a very, very stable operation of the operating system itself. But with the launch of some applications, certain problems arise: the device freezes, then it starts to slow down, then it reboots altogether. A unique solution to this problem is the additional installation of special programs that monitor the status of the device and, if necessary, release its hardware resources to solve a new problem. An example is Clean Master.
Reviews Cost. Summary
Initially, the manufacturer was rated at 3,000 rubles smartphone BBK S3510. Reviews about him were far from the best plan. Yes, and there were problems with sales. As a result, the cost of the device decreased to 1,500 rubles. BBK S3510 has certain performance issues. Reviews, in turn, indicate that this disadvantage is offset by cost. Now such a smartphone is discontinued, its stocks are sold out. Therefore, you can buy it only in a "used" state. Moreover, the cost he will have is very, very modest. Its capabilities are quite enough to solve the most simple tasks. Well, for something more you need to buy a more expensive mobile device.
