ARK smartphones: specifications, reviews, features

Not so long ago a new Chinese manufacturer appeared on the Russian market. This is a little-known brand ARK. But can the company attract customers and withstand competition?

Appearance of devices

Releasing smartphones ARK, the manufacturer went onway of least resistance and just copied the design. This is especially noticeable in the cheapest Benefit H956. The device looks very similar to "Nokia".

Chinese firms have similar solutions everywhere. Unfortunately, many manufacturers simply mindlessly "lick" other people's machines. Sometimes the design does not even make a difference.

In general, ARK does not think too much about its smartphones. The usual appearance, the plastic case and the absence of "chips" make the company's devices not particularly cute in appearance.

Of course, there were some exceptions. There are stylish, solid and simply elegant devices. One of them was Desire I2, got a nice appearance. But even this handsome looks like a market leader.

Justifies the mediocre appearance onlycost of devices. Apparently, the manufacturer decided to attract not by design, but by a tempting cost. The decision was fully justified, since appearance is not the main characteristic of state employees.

Screen

ARK smartphones faced a similar problem for many representatives of the Middle Kingdom. The desire to minimize the cost significantly affected the company's displays.

In the first place, the problem wasmost devices. Establishing a good diagonal, this characteristic, apparently, completely forgotten. Almost all models received a resolution that does not correspond to the diagonal of the screen.

For example, Benefit M6 with a display size of 5.5inch received only 960 x 540 pixels. Thus, small cubes and granularity are very noticeable to the user. It can not be said that the situation is critical, but definitely unpleasant.

When selecting the devices of the company should be turnedattention to the matrix. Among a small number of models are hidden devices with old TFT-technology. Such a matrix significantly reduces the view of corners. In addition, the brightness of the screen falls sharply in the sun.

There are quite successfully implemented smart phones ARK. One of these became the S502 Plus, which has an IPS-matrix and acceptable, 1280 x 720 pixels, resolution.

Cameras

ARK smartphones got another problemside. Like many state employees, there is a weak camera. In cheap devices installed only two megapixels. It is these matrices that have been obtained by the M1 and K12 models.

The phones of the middle class got moredecent "eyes." In the same I3 is 13 megapixels. Although it is not worth hoping for a quality similar to the Samsung cameras. The company still has a lot to develop.

Autonomy

Any review of the ARK smartphone will allow you to come toconclusion about its low duration of work. Unfortunately, this problem is not only ARK, but many other companies. However, in this production the problem is particularly acute.

Inexpensive and low-power devices can still forgive a battery of 1500 mAh, but here are equipped with a battery of 2400 mAh devices of the middle class cause genuine bewilderment.

Even one of the most advanced devices I3 has become a vivid example. It has a battery of 2400 mAh, and the duration of the work is 3-5 hours, depending on the load.

Price

A pleasant moment was the cost of ARK products. The price ranges from 2 to 12 thousand rubles. Quite an acceptable cost for good budget employees.

Reviews

Not the best impression left behind by smart phones ARK. The owners' feedback is full of flaws not only in the devices themselves, but also in the firmware.

The main problem was the building. The plastic phones are not distinguished by quality and also strongly branded.

Autonomy, too, was not to the liking of many users. Replacing the battery will fix the situation, but this is an additional cost.

Positive qualities were the price and good performance. They attracted most of the buyers.

The result

Dev devices ARK leave behind a double feeling. Like functional and inexpensive, phones have a bunch of flaws. Many characteristics "lame" and spoil the impression. Although the plus is that the company is constantly evolving, and perhaps soon will surprise with better products.
