Fly FS502 Cirrus smartphone review: description, specifications and reviews. Overview of the smartphone Fly FS502 Cirrus: description, specifications and reviews

Smartphones from the company Fly widely known to the Russian user. For the most part, these are budget and fairly high-quality models with characteristics typical for smartphones of the so-called B-brand. Usually such devices are based on platforms from MediaTek and are running far from new versions of operating systems, but this is not our case.

Contents of delivery:

  • Smartphone FlyFS502 Cirrus 1;
  • Power Supply;
  • USB-microUSB cable;
  • Headset;
  • Documentation (warranty card, user manual).

Everything is standard with the kit, the smartphone was equipped with only the most necessary.


The bundled headphones-headset are of rather modest quality, they will go for talking, but for listening to music, you should immediately think about replacing them.

Design and management

FlyFS502 Cirrus 1 is made in the classic monoblock form factor. At first glance, we had a certain deja vu, the smartphone is similar to the popular Google Nexus 5 with its body shape and general outlines, even the mechanical buttons are also located. Body materials are traditional. The front panel is completely covered with protective glass, which resists scratches quite well. This glass has an oleophobic coating, which means that it is not very dirty and is easily wiped with a napkin. The frames around the screen are wide, which is a certain indicator of the rank of the device, yet we have a very budget solution. The body of the smartphone has a clear and rather sharp shape, the corners are rounded quite a bit, the device looks like a man. The back cover is pleasant to the touch, it is made of thin ribbed plastic with a chrome logo in the center. The material is completely non-slip, thanks to which the smartphone does not strive to slip out of your hand. The build quality is excellent, the elements fit very tightly to each other, there are no cracks, the case does not creak or crack.


Under the screen are three touch buttons - "Back", "Home" and "Menu". They are made in the typical Android 5.1 style. Medium brightness backlight.

Above the screen is a speaker, a front-facing camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels, as well as a proximity and light sensor. The sensors work correctly, there are no complaints.

The main camera with LED flash is located in the upper left corner of the back of the case. Resolution 8 megapixels, there is autofocus. The quality of the photo is quite good, we will talk about this a little later.

At the bottom, there is a grille, under which the main speaker is hidden. The sound quality is average, extraneous crackles are heard at a high volume level. The volume reserve is sufficient. It should be noted that the grille is flat, which means that when the smartphone is placed with the speaker down, the sound is noticeably muffled.

Mechanical volume and power buttons are located on opposite sides of the case. On the right is the power button, on the left is the volume rocker. The location is ambiguous, adding sound with your index finger is not the most convenient thing to do. The buttons are plastic, the stroke is short, pressing is almost silent. It is also worth noting the edging around the perimeter of the smartphone, it is plastic and without any shiny coatings.

The audio output is on the top, and the microUSB port is on the bottom. A hole with a microphone is noticeable near the port.

Despite the rather wide bezels around the screen, the smartphone has a compact size. Dimensions are 142.7 by 72.45 mm, with a thickness of 8.8 mm. Fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip out. Takes up little pocket space. Weight, by the way, is just over 143 grams, which is also quite a bit. In general, FlyFS502 Cirrus 1 does not feel like a "shovel" at all, a neat, compact smartphone.

The back cover is removable and opens without any problems. Under the cover is the battery, which we'll talk about a little later, a microSDHC memory card slot and two SIM card slots. One Micro-SIM card and one Mini-SIM card are used. Since there is only one radio module, SIM cards work in alternate mode (Dual SIM Dual Standby). When talking on one card, the second will be unavailable, this mode is typical for almost all budget (and not so) smartphones. One SIM-card works only with GSM (2G) networks, and the second with both GSM (2G) and UMTS (3G), LTE (4G) networks, unfortunately, are not supported.

Screen

The smartphone is equipped with a 5-inch screen with IPS-matrix, aspect ratio 16:9. The resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels, in principle, this is quite enough for such a diagonal. The pixel density of 293 ppi provides a smooth picture without "ladders" and separate dots along the edges of icons or letters. Color transitions are smooth and imperceptible. The color reproduction is good, only a very slight shift to the cold side is noticeable, but in everyday use, hardly anyone will pay attention to this. The screen supports up to 5 simultaneous touches, this will be enough for any application.

Viewing angles are wide, which is typical even for inexpensive matrices. With significant deviations, the change in colors and brightness is minimal.

Illumination uniformity is good. Small areas of light are visible only in the lower part of the screen, but in everyday use they do not cause any inconvenience.

Operating system and software

Cirrus 1 runs Android version 5.1 Lollipop operating system. And this fact cannot but rejoice, since at the moment this system is very relevant and even some more expensive models have not been updated to this version. there is no proprietary shell, so we have the so-called "naked" Android.

The main desktop looks quite familiar, a clock with a calendar in the center, a search from Google at the top. at the bottom there are several folders with the most used applications, as well as icons for quick transition to the main functions (phone, sms, browser and camera). The sliding curtain consists of two parts, if you pull it 1 time, various notifications will appear in front of us, pulling it again you can see the icons for managing wireless networks, navigation, and so on. A long press on an empty space on the desktop allows you to go to the settings menu for this very desktop. From here, you can change the wallpaper, add widgets, or go to advanced settings.

Only applications are displayed in the menu. There are quite a few of them, in addition to standard programs from Google, there is a set of pre-installed software from the manufacturer, however, all these are free applications available on Google Play.

It is difficult to single out any of the applications, there is the Megogo online cinema, an application from banks, a selection of games, VKontakte, 2Gis, and so on. Clean Master is also initially installed, with which you can easily clean up memory from unnecessary files.

"Dialer" and a tool for writing sms are typical for Android 5.1, quite functional and convenient. The keyboard supports continuous text input.

Since the smartphone involves the use of two SIM-cards, you need functionality to switch between them. From the settings, you can set the default card used for calls, sms or data transfer. You can also put "Ask every time", then when you activate the Internet or when you call, the user will be prompted from which SIM card to do this.

Performance and Memory

Considering the technical characteristics of the smartphone, the most interesting is the Spreadtrum SC7731 hardware platform. Previously, we have not seen smartphones on this platform, so we do not know what to expect from it. Judging by data from open sources, Spreadtrum SC7731 is very close in performance to MediaTek MT6582. Yes, the processor is far from new, but it is still used in budget solutions. In our case, we have 4 Cortex-A7 cores with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, a Mali-400 MP2 video core and 1 GB of RAM, of which about 400 MB are available to the user. Built-in memory 8 GB, available about 5.5 GB.

A set of combined and processor tests showed very average results, but given the price of a smartphone, this was quite expected. In the AnTuTu test, they got 19323 points. Looks good, but not in 2015.


The capabilities of the Mali-400 MP2 have long been known to everyone. Given the resolution of 1280x720 pixels, it does its job well. In NenaMark2 almost 49 fps.

Now it's worth talking about the general impressions of performance. The interface is absolutely smooth, no significant freezes and lags. Internet surfing is comfortable, 5 open bookmarks in Chrome do not cause any discomfort. As for games, the smartphone is definitely not a gaming one, but you can pass the time with simple time-killers. More "heavy" toys are also launched, but at low or medium settings. Asphalt 8 or Dead Trigger 2 work quite comfortably.

Multimedia

The smartphone, of course, copes with the playback of popular video and music formats both from internal memory and from the network without any problems. The sound, as already mentioned, is not the best, at a high volume level, the external speaker makes extraneous sounds, the sound in the headphones is not bad, but the bundled headphones are of rather poor quality, so it is better to replace them immediately. The AnTuTu Video Tester application showed inconsistent results, does not play at all or plays with problems in MKV format with a resolution of 2K and 4K, and WMV video with a resolution of 1080P also did not work. but, it should be noted that the most common files work without problems.


Wireless interfaces

FlyFS502 Cirrus 1 supports the main set of wireless interfaces. Cellular communication is represented by GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and UMTS 900/2100 MHz standards, LTE is not supported. The reception quality of both 2G and 3G networks is excellent, there were no problems within the city during the operation. For high-speed Internet access, you can use Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n networks, signal reception is also confident, a few meters from the router the scale shows the maximum value, the Internet speed is close to the declared tariff. For navigation, a GPS module with A-GPS support is installed. The "cold start" took no more than two minutes, 14 satellites were detected, of which 5 were used.

Camera

The main camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, has autofocus and flash. Although the camera sensor is far from advanced, it copes very well with the photo. With sufficient lighting, the image is quite detailed and with natural colors. Under poor shooting conditions, of course, it is very difficult to get an acceptable photo quality. The video is shot in Full HD resolution, the quality is also quite good.

As for the settings, there are quite a few of them. Advanced users will be able to "play" with white balance, sensitivity, and so on. There are also ready-made presets for various shooting conditions.

Photo examples:




The camera has an HDR mode, for an example of how this mode works, let's take a photo. Left without HDR, right with HDR.


Video example:

Offline work

The operation of the device is provided by a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 2050 mAh. The battery, to be honest, is not impressive, but the relative thinness of the case did not allow the installation of a more capacious model. The battery is fully charged in just over 2 hours.

First of all, we checked the battery life under heavy load in the AnTuTu Tester battery test. From 100% to 14%, the smartphone was discharged in 3 hours, while the final score was 4756. Quite a bit. In everyday use, the charge is enough for a day of not very intensive use. In movie mode, the Cirrus 1 will run for 6 hours, in games, the battery will run out in 4 hours. Thus, we see the average autonomy indicators typical for most budget smartphones with similar characteristics.

Eventually

FlyFS502 Cirrus 1 turned out to be quite a balanced and pleasant smartphone. Yes, it sometimes lacks performance for games, it does not have record autonomy or a super-quality screen, but all this is justified by its reasonable price. Cirrus 1 can surprise, first of all, with the current version of the system and a decent appearance, the smartphone looks quite high quality and expensive. The performance is enough for most everyday tasks, and potential buyers of this device do not need another.

The price of FlyFS502 Cirrus 1 is currently 6490 rubles, which is acceptable for this class of device.

Pros:

  • Good quality materials and assembly;
  • Good IPS screen;
  • The current version of the operating system;
  • Good main camera.

Minuses:

  • Lack of LTE support.

Can budget smartphones not only be a compromise, but also please their owner? Quite, and as we have seen before, the current level of filling used in the initial segment has improved markedly in recent times. A good impact was made by fierce competition, not inferior to the flagship segment. Today we got Fly FS502 Cirrus 1, this is the first detailed review of this model on the net. Its announcement took place at the end of August and its sales have already started.

At the time of testing, the average cost, according to the Yandex.Market service, is 7,590 rubles. For this price, an IPS HD screen, a neat body, Android 5.1, 1 GB of RAM and support for memory cards are offered.

Video review of Fly FS502 Cirrus 1

Equipment

The smartphone comes in a compact package with bright printing. The technical specifications are detailed on the reverse side.

The package includes: a charging power supply, a microUSB cable, headphones, a set of technical documentation.

Appearance

Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 is made in the form of a classic monoblock. And it looks very good for its budget. Sharp lines are combined with smooth transitions.

Only one color option will be available - black. Dimensions are 142.7 x 72.45 x 8.8 mm and weigh 143.7 grams. It lies comfortably in the hand, the scenario of working with the fingers of one hand is quite comfortable.

The budget did not negatively affect the screen protector with glass that protects against scratches and damage. Additionally, there is a protruding side edge that raises the screen when placed on a flat surface.

The texture of the back cover is interesting, a honeycomb pattern reminiscent of carbon. Due to this, fingerprints are not visible and it does not slip out of the hands.

The Fly logo flaunts in the center of the lid, a camera unit with an LED flash in the corner and an oblong speaker grille at the bottom. It does not overlap with the palm of your hand.

The side face is flat, on the right is the power button, on the left is the volume rocker. The placement feels unnecessarily high, with a normal grip requiring finger movement, but on the other hand, false clicks are reduced.

Three more buttons on the Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 are on the bottom frame, they are not backlit. On the top frame: front camera eye.

Unlike modern flagships, the body is collapsible here. The user can replace the battery without contacting the service center. The lid fits snugly to the body, you need a little effort to remove it.

Under it are two slots for SIM of different sizes, here is a slot for a microSD memory card.

The case is assembled perfectly, there are no creaks and backlash of parts.

Screen

Installed 5-inch S-IPS-screen with HD resolution. A great combination, usually lower pixel density is offered in this budget. The strengths include the maximum viewing angles and good color reproduction.

The backlight is uniform, the maximum brightness level is at an average level. Image fades in direct sunlight. The picture is juicy, the fonts are legible.

Filling

The heart of the Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 is the Spreadtrum SC7731 quad-core processor with an operating frequency of 1.2 GHz. These are Cortex A7 cores and Mali-400 MP2 graphics. The level of performance is sufficient to perform everyday tasks and run undemanding 3D games. The interface works smoothly, without lags.

On board 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. Of these, 5.5 GB is available to the user at the first start. Expandable via microSD card.

Battery

The battery with a capacity of 2050 mAh is responsible for autonomous work. Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 will not be able to please with a long battery life. On the other hand, most of the models now offer such a capacity. This is enough here for 4.5 hours at maximum load and the whole working day with average activity. It takes about 2 hours to charge with a complete power supply.

Camera

The issue of image quality in modern smartphones is one of the most relevant when choosing a model for everyday use. Phones have successfully replaced “soap dishes”, which is not surprising, they are always at hand, and you don’t need to carry a separate gadget with you to take a photo. Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 has a bunch of 8 and 2 MP cameras. The quality is acceptable, but only if there is a sufficient level of lighting.

There are questions about the shutter speed, it takes about 1-2 seconds to refocus and the frame takes about 1-2 seconds. At night, there is a lot of noise and problems with focusing. Video recording is in Full HD. The front camera is suitable for video calling.

Soft

Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 runs on the Google Android 5.1 operating system without a proprietary shell. A clean interface is offered with Google Play support.

I did not like a large number of pre-installed software, including games, online banking, social networking clients. It will take time and sorting through the settings to clean the unnecessary.

Results for Fly FS502 Cirrus 1

Fly FS502 Cirrus 1 is a perfectly balanced budget smartphone with a nice design. The strengths include IPS HD display, dual SIM, 4-core processor, 8 GB of internal memory, support for memory cards, 8 megapixel camera, Android 5.1, FM radio. The battery life and the outdated Bluetooth v2.1 protocol may not be to your liking here.

The devices manufactured by Fly are famous not only for their low price, but also for their impressive filling. It is precisely these qualities that the new representative of the Fs502 company has acquired. What surprises this budget employee?

Design

When choosing a smartphone, the buyer pays more and more attention to appearance. The hardware in cheap gadgets is almost identical, but the unusual design of the state employee stands out against the general background. Actually, the manufacturer also relied on appearance.

The smartphone turned out to be pleasing to the eye, with rounded shapes and a textured coating on the back. The body of the device is completely made of plastic, which significantly reduced its cost. Although the material does not shine with originality, the device turned out to be very solid.

Among the many impersonal devices, the smartphone will resonate in the hearts of buyers. The only thing that confuses is the lack of color variations. The device is available exclusively in black.

There were no changes in the arrangement of parts on the body. The front houses the speaker, screen, camera, touch controls and sensors. The left side has a volume control, and the right side has a power button. The camera, flash, main speaker and, of course, the Fly logo are hidden behind. The top end was taken under the headphone jack, and the bottom - under the microphone and USB jack.

Of particular interest is the back panel made of textured material, as well as what is hidden under it. Under the cover is the battery and slots for cards. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the device works with Micro and Mini Sim.

To protect the device, an olophobic coating is also used on the display. There are almost no fingerprints left on the phone, and the screen is perfectly protected from scratches. For a budget employee, the design and protection are simply wonderful.

Screen

They equipped Fly Cirrus 1 Fs502 black with an excellent display for its price category. The diagonal is as much as five inches, and the resolution is well chosen - 1280 by 720 pixels, which is HD quality. In principle, this is the minimum resolution for such a screen, but 293 ppi is quite acceptable for a state employee.

The display of Fly Fs502 turned out to be quite bright, but it is dominated by cold shades. Viewing angles are also impressive due to the IPS matrix, although there is slight distortion at a large tilt. There are no problems in the sun, you can even read from the display without difficulty.

Hardware

The Fly Fs502 was equipped with the not-so-famous Spreadtrum processor model SC7731. Judging by the information, this platform is very close to MTK MT6582. If in fact the characteristics are similar, then the 502 received a solid processor. But the Mali-400, which has already taken root in state employees, is responsible for the graphics.

The phone has got four cores with a frequency of 1.2 GHz each. Despite the powerful stuffing, you shouldn't expect anything incredible from Fly Fs502. The device will cope with most tasks without problems, but demanding games put it to a standstill.

The RAM of the device is not particularly highlighted. The manufacturer placed a gigabyte of memory in the gadget. In principle, for a state employee, this is a good indicator.

Surprise will not cause and native memory. The device has 8 GB, but only 5.5 GB will be available to the user. The rest of the memory is occupied by Android. Card expansion up to 32 GB is also available.

System

An interesting feature of Fly Fs502 Cirrus is its operation on modern Android 5.1. This decision of the company was quite unexpected, since even many members of the middle class have not yet switched to this system. If the manufacturer wanted to surprise his users, then he succeeded.

The system also includes many applications installed by the company. Naturally, most of them will go to the scrap or will not be used. There are also useful applications for working with banks or watching movies.

Camera

I received the device familiar to state employees eight megapixels. Under ideal conditions, the pictures are acceptable, full of life and with good detail. The situation changes drastically in poor lighting - photos become noisy.

There is not much to say about video recording either. The device shoots videos with HD quality, but the image is not capable of surprising.

The front camera is also quite common - for inexpensive gadgets. They provided the device with two megapixels. This is quite enough for video calls and self-portraits.

autonomy

The smartphone has a removable battery with 2050 mAh capacity. This battery is enough for a long time. In conditions of average load, the phone will last eight hours, and in standby mode - the whole day. Having fun in advanced games and watching videos, you can reduce the life of the device to five hours.

Autonomy indicators are quite standard and do not stand out in any way. In case of emergency, it is possible to replace the battery with an analogue of a larger volume.

Price

The cost of Fly Cirrus 1 Fs502 black is very affordable and attractive. You can become the owner of this device for 7 thousand rubles. The phone is definitely worth its money, given the good functionality. Actually, it will be difficult to find worthy competitors in the price segment of the device.

Equipment

Together with Fs502, the owner will receive a standard set of adapter, headset, USB cable, manual and battery. You may have to replace the headphones with better ones, as well as buy a case.

Negative Feedback

For its segment, the smartphone does not have many shortcomings. The reviews written for Fly Fs502 Cirrus 1 are full of doubts about the processor used. Unfamiliar filling repels potential buyers. Most likely, the use of the already tested MTK would increase the popularity of the smartphone.

The camera doesn't impress either. But here everything is much simpler - the usual 8 megapixels are not able to provide the proper quality.

There are no special claims to appearance, however, the only color variation is depressing. Even adding the standard white color would have diluted the design considerably.

Positive reviews

Fly Fs502 Cirrus 1 received much more advantages. Reviews note high performance and gigabytes of RAM.

The display of the novelty was not deprived of attention either. Usually cheap phones get much less resolution, and there is no question of glass protection at all.

A nice bonus was the ability to use different models of sims. Modern devices are trying to adapt to the leaders and make cards smaller and smaller, thereby creating problems for the user when switching to a new gadget.

The improved system will also impress the owner. In addition to many fresh applications, the happy owner of the gadget does not have to worry about updates.

The final and most important advantage is the price of the device. The opportunity to get an excellent device for such a low price pleases.

Outcome

It rarely happens that there are more advantages in a state employee than disadvantages. However, Fly was able to prove that it was possible. Without a doubt, the novelty will appeal to many buyers.

It's time for another mini-review of another Fly smartphone. This time we'll look at the pros and cons of the Fly Cirrus 1 5-inch phone (aka Fly FS502). At first glance, it has everything you need for a modern budget smartphone: 4 cores, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM, 8 MP camera, Android 5.1, dual SIM support. But any gadget is known in detail, and we'll talk about them.
Reviews of other Fly models can be seen by clicking on the links:,.

Pros of Fly Cirrus 1
1. Good IPS screen with a diagonal of 5 inches. The standard resolution for such screens is 1280x720. The pixel density is 294 ppi, so you can hardly see individual dots on the display. I note good colors and viewing angles. The stock brightness level is enough even for sunny days. It's a pity the screen gets dirty quickly.
2. Good appearance. I would say this: "Design is present." And it's nice. The phone has roundings on the top and bottom faces. Lies well in the hand. Once upon a time, a five-inch screen seemed huge, now it's just right. The only fly in the ointment is the overly slippery back surface.
3. Two SIM cards. The microSIM and miniSIM sizes are used. The second SIM card supports the 2G (GSM) standard and is only suitable for telephone calls and SMS. The first supports 2G and 3G.
4. Android 5.1 operating system. It is still rare on budget devices. It is clear that Android 6.0 can not wait.
5. "Iron". The phone uses a 4-core Spreadtrum SC7731 (1.2 GHz) and a Mali-400 MP2 video processor. Let's be honest, these models are already outdated. Then why is this item among the pluses? Because these parameters are enough for everyday work with the phone: calls, SMS, web surfing, social networks, instant messengers, video, audio, games, etc. During long tests, no freezes were noticed.

Cons of Fly Cirrus 1
1. Weak battery. It will allow you to watch online video via W-Fi for 5 hours in a row (this is our standard test). Fly traditionally uses not the most capacious batteries. However, a few days without recharging the phone will work quietly if you do not use it very actively.
2. Not enough memory. RAM - 1 GB (of which the system is occupied by about 400 MB), ROM - 8 GB. Initially, about 4.4 GB is available to the user, but after updating all applications, this amount will decrease to 3 GB. Music, videos and other content can be stored on microSD memory cards. If you want to install or transfer applications to the SD card, you will need to perform several not very simple operations (look for instructions on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum). I also didn’t like that when the lock is unlocked, an inscription appears every time with a reminder of the absence of an installed memory card.
3. Poor performance of the regular program for the camera. I have not come across it myself, but on the Internet they often write that autofocus sometimes does not work correctly. In this case, it is recommended to use third-party clients (for example, Camera FV 5). There is no built-in ability to shoot panoramas. But in general, the main camera of 8 megapixels is not bad.
4. There is no way to quickly turn on silent mode through the top notification bar. For many, this is not a problem, but if you often find yourself in places where the sound needs to be turned off, you will understand me. You will either have to use the volume button, or get further into the settings.
5. Not very sensitive GPS receiver. Under the same conditions, with a difference of half an hour, the phone can catch 6-7 satellites, or maybe only 2-3. Accordingly, the difference in measurement accuracy will differ by several times.
6. No 4G support.
7. The price is still a little high. For 6 490 rubles. you can find cheaper smartphones with similar features.

Soft
Fly Cirrus 1 received a new OS Android 5.1. No branded shells - almost "naked" Android. Traditionally, several additional applications and games are installed in Fly smartphones. We can note the 2GIS mapping service, clients of the social networks Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki, the MEGOGO online cinema, Clean Master applications (for clearing phone memory) and Change Yo! Voice (to change your voice during a telephone conversation).

Battery and operating time
The battery capacity is 2050 mAh. Removable battery. Battery model BL8605 (3.8V).
When watching online videos on YouTube, the smartphone lasted only 5 hours (brightness and volume in the middle, listening through headphones, mobile Internet and Bluetooth are disabled). Unfortunately, Fly smartphones usually do not have a high battery life. However, the official description says so: "video playback time up to 5 hours." According to the developers, the phone should work up to 8 hours in talk mode, up to 180 hours in standby mode.
Full charge time from a standard charger (1 A) - 2.5 hours. Everything is standard here.

Test results
AnTuTu Benchmark - 19,200 points
Quadrand Standad Edition - 4,900 points
3DMark (Ice Storm Extreme, 1080p) - 1,740 points
Epic Citadel - 35.7 fps 1280x720 HQ

The results are modest. Again, not the fastest processor and video processor are installed here.

    Nice expensive design, no brakes, good IP display, high-quality assembly, good body materials, feels good in the hand. The latest system 5.1. I wanted to take a Sony phone for 8 thousand, but there is a display of 4 or 4.5 and it has a tft display, that is, the image is not so hot and the old android, 4.1 and 4.2. Everything seems to be in place here. And most importantly, this is a whole gig of RAM, a rarity in the cheap segment. Relatively low price! took for 6.5. The phone is really thin! It is very convenient and does not take up much space, and this is a big plus that overcomes many disadvantages.

    Well, personally, I liked it with its characteristics, such a compact and generally stuffing is a normal 8 megapixel camera, the Spreadtrum SC7731 processor does not hang normally, and 4 cores are generally enough for the eyes for the Operating system, what is the most important thing that would work, the screen is normal at angles, everything is perfectly visible , the camera shoots well, but not higher and not lower than exactly its 8 megapixels, the 2050 battery is enough when using the camera to surf the Internet and watch the video, I personally had enough for one day and 16 hours, so the battery is normal, in general I am satisfied with the phone.

    The SIM card selection window closes when you press a call, you have to dial the number again. The phone lock sensor hangs during a call, reboot helps. The microphone is very weak, you have to speak in raised tones. Weak battery, in the evening there was a battery charge of 20 percent, in the morning the phone was cut off (with radio modules turned off). GPS works only Yandex and Google maps.

    Focusing is fucking, which focuses and blurs everything to hell, it helps just poke at the screen ...

    the microphone is a gesture, the interlocutor strains to understand what they are talking about. The speaker is also strange, then it yells, then some kind of extraneous sound appears ... i.e. phone function is performed at a very low level. Viber is generally a dead number ...

    battery and camera. Pre-installed apps, but they can be removed. It looks like a branded phone, but still it’s a fly, you won’t pan out, although to whom it’s like and what. Now you won’t surprise anyone with a phone, but I think someone younger will not agree with me. I must say right away that the photos will not be super, but acceptable.

    And now, as expected, let's move on to the “dark” sides of the smartphone hidden from the buyer by the box. First, the battery. Of course, they saved on batteries, but what can we do? "Average". You will have to buy a PowerBank or carry a charger with you. Second, the camera. We'll have to forget about selfies with friends - the camera (despite the fact that the front is 2 megapixels) is a shame to show to friends, although sometimes, under excellent lighting, the camera becomes a miracle. Thirdly, the aluminum inscription “Fly” on the cover of the smartphone - a piece, apparently, did not fit snugly at the factory and came out with a burr, which even hurt me (unfortunately, I couldn’t exchange it, but after sitting on it for a while, everything became fine). Fourthly, the autofocus of the front camera - consider it - it simply does not exist. The camera takes soapy, blurry pictures 9 out of 10 times. But nevertheless, I hasten gladly

    Forget about Navitel (GPS falls off), it's important for me. Not sure reception WI FI, 3G. With the declared good characteristics, it slows down even in normal applications, it gets very hot. Bluetooth of the old version like 2, you can’t pick up modern gadgets. Killer autonomy, you will not actively use it for more than 3 hours. A lot has already been written about the camera or camera application. Given the shortcomings for a regular dialer, it's expensive.

    I bought two Fly cirrus 1 at once (for myself and my wife).
    When calling from one cirrus to another, the sound is terribly quiet. After a couple of minutes of talking, the volume may "turn on", or maybe not. After a month of use, people with other phones began to complain that they could not hear me.
    Yandex maps and Yandex navigator work very poorly on this phone - they constantly lose satellites, the location "jumps" on the map and "sticks" in different places, from which they have already driven a few kilometers. Of course, I understand that the phone developer is not responsible for the operation of third-party applications on his phone, but there were no such problems in principle with the previous Fly iq446 Magic phone.
    After a month of use, my phone stopped recognizing music on the memory card, and the built-in volume is too small to stop

    Very annoying (even strongly) the choice of Sims constantly flies (every second time). You have to re-select the contact or dial the number (and if it was dictated, you have to ask again to repeat the number). You explain that the phone is buggy (this is the biggest anti-advertising)
