About football, travel and a great smartphone for life

The World Cup has just begun, and has already brought a number of surprises. Unexpectedly, we witnessed a real violation of the sacred unshakable canons, when a cool YouTube blogger and part-time goalkeeper of the Icelandic national team Hannes Halldoursson saved the penalty of Lionel Messi himself. Probably, during the dark Middle Ages, after such a daring Icelander would burn in the bright fire of the Inquisition.

By the way, in the brand new Muze X5 LTE, if you click on the microphone icon in the Google search bar installed directly on your desktop and say: "Iceland", then the smartphone will immediately helpfully display the main facts and photos: Iceland is a small island nation with a population of less than 400 thousand people and nature of cosmic beauty.

I don't know about you, but I think it would be interesting if the Icelanders became world champions. It's also great because Prestigio is running a competition.

When buying a Muze X5 LTE smartphone, there is a chance to win a ticket for 5 days to the country of the World Cup winner. The conditions are simple: buy a smartphone, register on the promo.prestigio.ru promo site, cross your fingers for good luck and wait for the results to be published on July 15, 2018.

And if you're not lucky, there's always a guaranteed cash prize. It will be transferred to the mobile phone account specified during registration on the site. Prestigio operates on the principle of "happiness for everyone, and only let someone try to leave offended."

The brand's products follow the same philosophy. We are used to reading about flagships, making a dissatisfied face in advance: the price bites, and most of the technological chips are needed only to brag to our friends at once. But what if you want a quality smartphone for a sane amount? And while the average salary, invented by Rosstat, is less than 35,000 rubles, buying a phone worth even 30,000 looks like a flat joke. Give up a month of your life for a piece of plastic that is obsolete before you take it out of the box? Not a bad suggestion, but, perhaps, dismiss me.

Still, budget planning issues must be approached soberly. Gone are the days when each manufacturer produced unique models, now all phones have turned into service boxes, by installing applications on which you can customize the device to your taste.

Especially for those who are used to thinking rationally and seeing a smartphone not as a fashionable toy, but as a tool for life, Prestigio has created the Muze X5 LTE smartphone at a price of 5,490 rubles. By the way, with the money saved, you can just go on a short trip.

I used the Muze X5 LTE for a week, and during this time the smartphone has never let me down. I decided to share my experience https://cars45.co.ke/listing/mercedes-benz/g-class/2011, which may be useful to you.

So, today a smartphone has become a universal gadget that meets us in the morning and accompanies us throughout the day, so the main requirements for a device are not the power of the chipset, not the number of megapixels in the camera, and not the version of the operating system, but convenience and comfort in everyday use.

Let's start with the simplest: the smartphone must be loud enough to wake you up in the morning. Muze X5 LTE has an advanced alarm clock – we get up early on weekdays, and you can lie around on weekends – and a powerful sound. The alarm clock is easy to turn off, but you can put it off with a swipe to the left and lie down for another 5 minutes.

It is important not to overdo it here, otherwise you will have to run Yandex.Transport in a hurry on the go in order to figure out how to get to the metro faster. Built-in GPS is fast and accurate. By the way, if you prefer to travel by car, you will enjoy the pre-installed maps – there is a version from Google, and there is Maps.me. In any case, the smartphone will not let you get lost.

By the way, a smartphone is convenient to use on the go. Prestigio did not mindlessly follow fashion trends, but made a smartphone with a classic form factor, which is ideal for using with one hand. But I could not resist and still added a stylish 2.5D glass, which makes the phone more pleasant to hold in your hand. And outwardly, the device begins to seem more expensive than it is.

To be fair, the screen should be praised. The phone has a juicy HD IPS matrix, which is comfortable to work with even in the bright sun.

Separately, I would like to note the viewing angles and the high pixel density of 294 ppi. A screen of this level is unexpected to meet in the lower price segment.

However, a bright screen is probably not a bonus, but a mandatory attribute of a quality smartphone. But we digress. Yandex.Transport loads almost instantly:

MUZE X5 LTE is one of the most affordable devices that support high-speed mobile Internet using 4G LTE technology. Even using the most budgetary telecom operator in Moscow, you can get excellent speed, which is enough for surfing the web, listening to online music or watching YouTube videos

Since we started talking about music, it's important to say that Prestigio decided to keep the 3.5 mm jack. However, I prefer Bluetooth headphones. The smartphone tenaciously holds connections, allowing you to comfortably listen to music.

Of course, online music is good, but as soon as you drive a couple of hundred kilometers from Moscow, the speed drops, and then the good old radio comes to the rescue, which for some reason most flagships do not have.

The smartphone uses the headphone wire as an antenna. It seems that the radio is such a trifle, but it perfectly brightens up the travel time.

And, of course, you can record your own music on a microSD card. It's great that the smartphone supports a large amount of memory cards – up to 32 GB, and this is more than 300 hours of music or 21 movies, if we take the standard 1.5 GB. I am also glad that a separate slot is provided for a memory card: you don’t have to choose a second SIM card or your favorite songs.

Since we started talking about watching movies, we should note one more plus of the smartphone. In video playback mode with maximum brightness and sound, the smartphone gives an honest 5.5 hours.

However, this is not the main thing. Now, when most smartphones have monolithic cases, Prestigio thought about the comfort of users and made a removable battery, automatically turning the smartphone into an ideal companion for long trips.

In everyday use, the device easily lives for two or three days, giving out 4-6 hours of screen operation. And using a spare battery, you can easily go on a trip to nature for several days with your phone without worrying that you will be left without a connection.

I think most readers know Prestigio as the owner of a large e-book store. It's cool that when developing a smartphone, the company did not forget about it and installed a branded reader with a built-in store, where there are both paid ones > and almost 2,000 free books. Tired of movies and music, you can always read something interesting.

While looking at a bookstore, I thought that MUZE X5 LTE is also an ideal smartphone for schoolchildren, since the menu has a subsection with free books grouped by class of the school curriculum.

To buy a child such a phone and send him to his grandmother's village for the summer, where there is no Internet, first, of course, after downloading a full set of books on the school curriculum. Since there is no Internet, then only radio will remain from entertainment, and there, like it or not, it will start reading out of boredom. The main thing is to make sure that you do not secretly download games, and it is better to remove the built-in ones. After all, the smartphone has a fairly powerful processor with 4 cores, each of which produces 1.3 GHz. Maybe top games won't work, but good 3D rpg games and racing games will start easily.

I forgot to mention one more important feature, without which the phone cannot be called modern. Built-in cameras have long not only caught up, but almost ousted ordinary digital soap dishes from everyday life. The Muze X5 LTE has an 8MP main camera and a 2MP front camera. Surprisingly, the manufacturer equipped both cameras with flashes. Now you can take selfies in the dark.

The camera gives good quality during the day:

Of course, the camera has HDR, thanks to which, even in difficult conditions, the quality of images is excellent. By the way, amateur photographers will be satisfied, as there are many different filters in the camera settings:

And here is a photo from the store, where there was rather poor lighting. I wonder why we love to follow Western fashion so much? After all, there is a beautiful word "donuts". Why write "Russian donuts"?

We can talk about the functions of a smartphone for a long time, but I think you understood the main thing that Prestigio made a quality device at an adequate price. And if you have not decided to buy yet, then I recommend that you definitely go to the store and hold the smartphone in your hands.
