Smartphone Assistant AS-5431

The Assistant company announced its first smartphone to the public at the dawn of 2016. It attracts potential buyers with a pleasant price and a very good level of performance.

Similarities

In terms of design and layout of the main controls, the smartphone resembles the Meizu M2 Note, slightly behind it in terms of interior decoration. Benchmarks also hint at the similarity of the phone with Xiaomi Redmi 2 (one of the most popular low-cost devices) – during the AnTuTu test, both devices score a similar number of points (about 22K). The hardware of the gadget is represented by a 4-core MediaTek MT6580 processor running at a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a Mali400 graphics accelerator. You should not count on running resource-intensive applications on such a hardware, but it will cope with simple tasks without problems.

IPS matrix

All information is displayed on a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The pixel density at this resolution reaches 294ppi. Accordingly, the individual points from which the image is built are not striking at all. High-quality IPS-matrix perfectly reproduces colours, which can also be adjusted manually. The only disappointment is the unimportant anti-glare coating, which makes it difficult to see anything on the display on a sunny day, and multi-touch, which supports only 2 simultaneous touches on the screen.

Photo and video filming

Considering the orientation of the smartphone, both modules of its cameras command respect. In good light, they produce a high-quality picture, losing details in the image only when shooting in the dark. Additionally, the main module boasts the ability to record FullHD videos with stabilization. Mobile photography enthusiasts have access to a range of different shooting presets.

Gestures and battery life

A nice bonus for the owners of the device is the presence of a gesture control system. It allows you to carry out pre-configured procedures without touching the screen at all. In addition, the owners of the Assistant smartphone will appreciate its battery life — one battery charge is enough for a day of full-fledged work with calls, browsing, chatting in instant messengers and other scenarios for using a mobile gadget.
