Phone manufacturers about yield pride of the absurd names they cast their products, but it’s accessible that the Hisense U8 is added to its maker than just a decorously-specced smartphone. In any case, the addition of the U8 – followed by endure week’s Lenovo’s caricatural of smartphones. Hisense though, has done a abundant job cranking out arresting phones that will access the absorption of consumers searching for high-end accessories at adequate amount range.
Considering its laundry account of specs, the Hisense U8 isn’t a best handset compared to some of its dual-core competitors. Of advance it’s the aboriginal time we’re diving central Hisense amnion and we can’t say we don’t like what the aggregation has done so far in appearance of architecture and internals. Therefore, we’re eyeing the Hisense as a footfall nearer to the OEM after acumen its ultimate objective. So, can it play alongside the big boys? Will we be amused? Is it the Merimobiles phone? That’s absolutely what we are actuality to acquisition out.
And it begins with the affectation – in fact demography the account of a 4-inch TFT FENIX B101 display, although Hisense U8 employs a slimmer and added awning that makes it easier to hold. And because of a WVGA (480 x 800) resolution, its panel’s pixel body credibility about about 245ppi; of advance not a high-res by any extension, but we absolutely can’t say it’s a failing either – and just an abstraction of area it stands in evaluation, Samsung’s Galaxy S II Skyrocket is at 207ppi, while iPhone’s 4S Retina Affectation stands at 326ppi.
We didn’t accept any blush apropos beneath accustomed conditions, but beneath absolute sunlight they appeared distorted. Viewing angles are boilerplate like a lot of smartphones, so you won’t accept abysmal difficulties watching movies or account argument from astute angles.
An circuit about the phone starts at the top which is adorned with the accustomed 3.5mm headphone jack, while the appropriate is home to the ability / awning lock button, which isn’t amiss accession for anyone captivation the phone application their larboard hand. The hardly aloft aggregate rocker keys are on the larboard ancillary with the micro-USB powering anchorage calmly placed dead-center on the smartphone’s basal side. The appropriate ancillary of the phone is absolutely smooth, after any camera keys. A 0.3 MP front-facing cam dwells just on top of the display, admitting the accepted four capacitive aeronautics keys advance out below.
The Hisense technically speaking may not be a exceptional gadget; about it has some noteworthy companionship: it houses a single-core 1GHz Qualcomm MSM7227A and Adreno 200 GPU, a abutting chipset powering the Nokia Lumia 800, ONDA VX610W and Sony Xperia arc S. It aswell accompanies 512MB of RAM, which is boilerplate for about every mid-range smartphone. And assurance us, it was rather alert for our needs – of course, you won’t absence tiny bit of lag if aggravating to accessible image-heavy websites, but about it performed at achievement levels. The touchscreen is aswell acknowledging too.
All told, the Hisense U8 may not be benumbed on the best chipset currently available, nor the slinkiest apparatus otherwise, about it’s one of the best smarphones we’ve witnessed from Hisense accomplish to date (let’s blow abject if Hisense shows up again). It’s bright the aggregation has put lots of absorption into the U8, and if this smartphone is any hint, we assumption Hisense has even bigger accessories larboard to allotment with the apple this year.
