The camera is not in the center of the device, but intop left corner. It is equipped with a rather spectacular LED flash. In the lower part of the case there is a speaker, covered with an elegant perforated shutter. On the right side of the device are a button for turning on the device, as well as a key for controlling the volume of the sound. There are no items on the left side of the device.

Display
The display is another important characteristic of ExplayTornado. Feedback from users regarding this component is positive. First of all, it concerns the size of the screen - it is 4.5 inches, this figure can be considered optimal for a device of this type. The manufacturing technology of the display matrix is IPS, the image quality is excellent, but as noted by some specialists, the screen brightness margin is not very large.
Camera
The main camera of the device has a resolution of5 MP. This is a good indicator. The truth is there is no autofocus on it - however, there is no similar option in many "bonus" devices. As the software, the interface from Google is used, which is characterized by simplicity and ease of use.
Software
Mobile phone Explay Tornado (reviews of manyusers characterize this property from the positive side) is controlled by Android OS in version 4.4.2 without any localizations and additional interfaces.

Software features are standard for devices,working under OS Android. Apart from downloadable applications from relevant online stores, the smartphone's software shell includes very useful options for the owner. This is an alarm clock, a scheduler, a convenient application for working with the camera. Regarding the installation of third-party software, the performance of a smartphone can be characterized as sufficiently high for it to run popular programs, as well as undemanding games.
Actually about the performance. Let's consider this aspect in more detail. How impressive is it, based on the characteristics of the hardware of the smartphone? And what do users say about this?
Performance
To what extent can a productivePhone Explay Tornado? Feedback from users who tested it with games and various applications, on the whole characterize the device as quite suitable for launching popular games and programs. Due to the fact that the device has a relatively small amount of RAM - only 512 MB, demanding games, unfortunately, will be slightly slowed down.
However, a productive processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and 4 cores, as well as an integrated module for processing graphics such as the Mali400MP, largely compensates for the lack of RAM.
Autonomous work
As we noted above, the battery capacity insmartphone - 1550 mAh. By the standards of the modern market, this, I must say, is not enough. What do experts say about the Explay Tornado smartphone for autonomous operation? Feedback from experts, as well as users, on the whole characterize the device as very average with respect to the function in question, which is not surprising, based on the battery capacity. The battery lasts about one day with a sufficiently intensive use of the device.
It can be noted at the same time that the autonomouswork for many smartphone users is by no means the most important criterion. Therefore, if one device has more attractive performance characteristics than a similar one with the same cost and with a battery capacity higher, then the first one will be chosen with high probability. Surely so did many enthusiasts of mobile electronics, who wanted to buy Explay Tornado. Perhaps it was more preferable for them to have a device with a processor in 4 cores and 1.3 GHz, an excellent display and a modest battery than a gadget with not the most powerful hardware, but a capacious battery.
In addition, not every similar smartphone can support on all three SIM-cards - like Explay Tornado - 3G. Reviews regarding this remarkable property of the phone are the most positive.
The user isa feature that is very important in a number of cases - for example, if you need to quickly switch from one operator to another, with a cheap tariff option for accessing the Internet.
