IRON
The budget phone Philips S326 review is ongoing and it is time to talk about the hardware of the smartphone. At the heart, the device is a little-known company Spreadtrum processor.

Its computing power is not impressive, but, nevertheless, sufficient for leisurely perform many tasks that a user can assign to the Philips S326. But the amounts of memory as RAM – 1 GB and a built – 8 GB, of which the user’s needs is available only 5 and a half, is clearly insufficient. Applications, better to move on microSD. The separate slot supports memory cards up to 32 GB.
Slot tests revealed that old man Mali-400 MP still capable of producing adequate for games frame rate, at least at low settings.
SOFTWARE
The budget phone Philips S326 review runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The manufacturer had replaced some of the icons, added the ability to edit the shortcuts in the notification bar and on / off function on a schedule.
Operating system of the budget phone Philips S326 review is outdated. The worst thing here is not even functional, which is poorer than in the newer versions of Android, and that the more years the OS version, the more it known vulnerabilities that malware exploits. The Android Marshmallow appeared monthly covering the identified vulnerabilities. Philips S326 Owners they can not count.
The phone memory is no partner applications, now eating up precious space. In addition to pre-installed Google services only a means for data backup and ZaZaRemote utility. It is necessary to control household appliances via IR.
Base devices, from TVs to air conditioners and impressive dimensions. We were able to pick up the approach to the whole technique that caught the eye. And to know the specific model it is not necessary, and sufficient instrument brand. The program will offer options from which you choose the operating control circuit. There has ZaZaRemote and widget, so favorite TV remote control will always be at your fingertips, right on your desktop launcher.
COMMUNICATION
The budget phone Philips S326 review has two slots Micro SIM. Hot-swapping of cards because the battery can not be located. The range of supported frequency radio module includes 4G. Admission network signal is weak on the smartphone. If the city did not notice that, where cell towers are not many, there may be problems with audibility and receiving incoming calls.
Navigation (GPS, A-GPS) is started reluctantly. More than six satellites for testing a smartphone and are not used. For the Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM-radio no comments. Connect to Philips S326 USB flash drive using the USB-OTG cable will not work.
BATTERY
Philips S326 Removable battery has a claimed capacity of 3000 mAh. The real figure, which we received as a result of measurements, turned out to be less than 100 mAh. The battery provides enough energy to smartphone worked in the editorial autonomy test 6:00 32 minutes. The indicator on the level of competitors, but not record. On the smartphone charge, it takes 3 hours and 50 minutes. And what do you expect from a feeble bundled adapter 5V, 1A?
To save energy, you can with a standard for Android mode, disable background data. In a separate menu-selected exclusion program, which at the same time will work normally.
CAMERA
The budget phone Philips S326 review equipped with 8 main pure single megapixel camera with flash and a 2 MP front-facing camera. The software provides the ability to manually control ISO (100 to 1600), contrast, saturation, brightness, focus and white balance. Shooting modes here are a few: HDR and five color effects – all they can count on amateurs.
The quality of shooting the main camera – below average even for an 8 MP. Surly autumn street smudgy, moving objects – lubricated.
At dusk autofocus incorrectly suggests the sharpness and noise come to the fore, and to ignore them if they wanted to, it does not turn. The front camera works even worse. For glamor, selfie smartphone does not suit.
TO SUMMARIZE
It’s time to finish the review of Philips S326. Praise him for the quality of a 5-inch HD-matrix support 4G networks, a separate slot for the SD card, capacious, for this class of device, battery, and an infrared port to control home appliances. But drawbacks too short. The most critical of them – a weak camera, small amounts of memory and storage capacity.
The budget phone Philips S326 review could become a popular budget smartphone, but not at the price of $115. IR unlikely to be a determining factor in the selection, at least for most of the buyers, and other characteristics are not so attractive. Even if you do not take into account the “gray” machines from China, CIS officially sold devices that the ratio of price / performance is noticeably better.
