Overview communicator Highscreen Nano

Classic among communicators - devices with screen QVGA, a powerful processor and PDA functionality . Once these machines were popular , but are replaced by new operating systems and platforms . However , burying the CPC and the Windows Mobile platform is still too early - the functionality and the number of useful programs for it are still at the highest level. Therefore , we are pleased to present to your attention an interesting and inexpensive device for those who would not seriously acquainted with Windows Mobile - Highscreen Nano.

Communicator Highscreen Nano - the brainchild of Russian company " Vobis Computer , which , under its own brand Highscreen released smartphones and even a hybrid e- book with two screens .

Compact and affordable , Highscreen Nano can cause two kinds of feelings have accustomed to Russian goods buyers. However , like most devices sold under the more famous brands , Nano is made in China for ODM- contract, so worry about its quality should not be - it is thought Vobis'a specialists . And we can only estimate the device .

Equipment Standard , includes everything you need , including convenient velvet pouch and spare stylus. Music lovers will appreciate the headset , which although it has the original jack, but it sounds much better than the headset that comes with competing smartphones .

Externally

Oh, yes , Apple fans will be unhappy , but the rest just be happy - the manufacturer said a firm " No! " myloobraznomu design and produced a very nice kind of apparatus had . Actually , the thing pleased to take in hand, with no squeaks , does not fall off and not hang out . Followers of low-quality things can easily go past - build Highscreen Nano will give odds to many devices.

And now pay attention to the buttons: faceplate downright grants forgotten by many analog joystick - what we need for the games ! There is a button and receive all-clear calls, the button " Start "and "OK " . On the left side settled down volume control buttons , and on top - push button device, which also dampens and activates the display. Software remapping buttons not complete , but no one bothers to install third-party , although it is certainly not a very pleasant moment .

Since we're talking about faces , then we mention the law, which is nothing, and the bottom , which is home to the stylus slot , microphone, Mini-USB connector for a headset , charging and synchronization, and loop strap .

On the back is virtually empty : it only eye megapixel camera without autofocus and flash , as well as opening the system dynamics. By the way, the panel is not glossy , with a pleasant texture to the touch surface . Lid opens fully , shift up .

Camera is weak, even by the standards of two megapixels - for very inexpensive shooting suit , but not for all staff. For example , Mio Leap G50 with the same camera shoots better.

Under the hood is a compartment Battery ( he has a capacity of 1100 mAh) , foam stylus , as well as SIM-card slot and MicroSD slot with hot-swappable .

Battery , incidentally , is convenient to extract embedded tape .

Survey

The filling machine is impressive , and perhaps trepidation : 624 MHz processor with auxiliary chip, NXP 5209 - this bunch of perfectly reproduces the unconverted form and effortlessly copes with 3D- games in native resolution apparatus. The screen here , by the way , 2.8 -inch with a resolution of 320x240 pixels . The display quality , with good viewing angles - in this parameter gives the Nano forums Mio Leap G50, which has a screen with the same characteristics of the diagonal and resolution.

Memory (RAM) is equal to 128 MB , of which 25-53 MB free , permanent memory before the flash drive , 256 MB ( 131 MB available ), in addition, expanded memory card MicroSDHC.

Third-generation device is not supported : there is only four GSM- range, including GPRS / EDGE. Wireless module to offer support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and GPS- receiver . The latter features an aGPS. In addition , it should be noted the function of receiving radio FM: mono receiver , antenna has traditionally been wire headset, and you can save up to 24 stations in memory, but RDS is not provided. Also, the apparatus has on board a fashionable G-Sensor, which is easily configured for any function : games , screen rotation , work in applications .

The software includes all standard utilities Windows Mobile 6.5.3: mail and SMS / MMS, Internet Explorer, Office Mobile, MSN, Windows Media Player, Calculator , Calendar , Notes. There are two games , one of which involves the accelerometer . From the producer of pre- set programs , we note from SPB Software: Shell Mobile Shell, keyboard Keyboard and view Internet TV Mobile TV. There is also a program - recorder without frills - just the voice recording . The navigation software is not offered , but there are rumors of adaptation iDa - a program that is already known on the platform Android - with maps production Navteq. In short , the navigation component in this case is universal: for large cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg , you can install iGO, Progorod or SityGuide. But for the remote is still relevant Navitel Navigator , which also works quite well on Highscreen Nano. Finally , we note the existence of a separate JAVA- machine, which , however , does not support 3D- games , but works steadily .

Force

Output device can be called good, if not excellent . 624 MHz enough to play movies as a DVDRip, as well as for demanding mobile gaming , with particular note is the presence of the joystick . We also tested the device using the test VSBenchmark 2007. We look at the result compared to the Toshiba Portege G900 and RoverPC evo X7.

 

In general, a sufficiently powerful platform , although the difference in the architecture of Marvell PXA270 and PXA300 feel - at Toshiba screen 800x480 . However , RoverPC evo X7 was faster with a little more powerful processor Marvell PXA310.

Endurance

The battery with this high-speed processor would have to be bigger . However, those 1100 mAh , which is battery, enough for comfortable work in the mode of average load for 1-3 days . If you leave the phone in standby mode, with a minimum of conversation , the batteries will last for 4-6 days . Maximum load discharge the battery for 3-4 hours , but you can listen to music for 13-15 hours.

However, the owner should monitor the state of memory , as culminating in " cross " of the program is not really closed, and remain " hanging " in the memory , eating the battery. In general , the software will have to find a solution to the problem .

Diagnosis

Highscreen Nano can be called a great device , but like any other , it's not without flaws. However, they are surprisingly small: Among the marked us can distinguish the inability to program purpose functions of the buttons (with tenure) , remain in memory processes, a few percent over a weak GPS signal reception compared with the best GPS-receivers in communicators ( koimi author rightly considers devices Mio). The rest of the apparatus is good . Describe the advantages of a long time , we simply list them : high-quality screen , a powerful platform, joystick , FM-radio , accelerometer , GPS- receiver, the presence of all necessary interfaces, high-quality sound, good design. And is it all some 6990 rubles .
