Total
After describing the Irbis brand smartphones and studying consumer reviews, we can conclude that this gadget is far from perfect, most models belong to the budget category, which also has a considerable demand for high-quality mobile devices with a beautiful design.

For some, the device “flies” after a few days of operation, others are unhappy with the quality of the plastic on the case. Many note that when falling from the slightest height, the work of the speaker and charging is often disrupted. Separately, consumers emit a battery and cameras. Rarely on which instance of the Irbis does the charge last more than a day with active use. On the most budgetary modifications, the cameras are of low quality and made more for decoration.
Nevertheless, the fact that modern smartphones, tablets and computers of domestic assembly appeared on the market in a wide assortment was pleased. Each generation of units receives improved characteristics, both in the internal filling, and in the design and accessories design.
