Dexp can hardly be called a well-known company, but one way or another, many have come across it. Especially often, the products of this company can be seen in various domestic online stores, as well as in ordinary equipment hypermarkets.
In fact, Dexp is a Russian company that was founded in 1998 in the city of Vladivostok. The company specializes in the production of smartphones, tablets, desktops and laptops. In today's short review, I would like to consider one of the devices of the named manufacturer - the Dexp Ixion e145 smartphone, and at the same time find out whether our devices can compete with foreign analogues or not. Let's get started!
Description
The Dexp Ixion e145 smartphone is not a new product in 2017, but a model that was released in 2015, and in two versions - regular and EVO SE. Honestly, the difference between the variations is minimal, and if you do not look closely, then it is not at all noticeable.
What at the time of release, that now the device is extremely cheap, but more on that later. You can buy it only through the official website of the manufacturer, since in other e145 stores you will not be able to find it.
The smartphone does not have any special distinguishing features - this is the most ordinary ultra-budget device designed for the most ordinary undemanding people.
Appearance
The appearance of the Dexp Ixion e145 is pretty good. It is sold in those colors - orange, black and blue (EVO SE modification). By the way, there are no differences between the regular version and the "EVO", up to the size, weight and other parameters.
The material from which the phone is assembled is the most common cheap plastic. Build quality is above average. Parts of the body fit tightly, but in some places there are creaks. They are especially well heard if the phone is tightly and firmly squeezed in your hand.
The back cover is also not credible. She sits in her place well, but there are punching, so you have to put something under her.
A disadvantage is the coating of the plastic case itself. It is glossy, which makes fingerprints very visible on the surface. In addition, if the hand is slightly wet, then the phone tries to slip out of it thanks to the rounded corners and the same glossy finish.
On the front side of the smartphone, there is a screen with a diagonal of 4.5 inches, touch buttons below it, as well as a spoken speaker on top, along with a front camera and light and proximity sensors.
On the right side there are already familiar on / off keys and a volume rocker. The left side is empty, there is nothing on it.
At the top there is a micro USB port for and a 3.5 mm jack for headphones. By the way, both connectors are shifted to the left edge and are very close to each other. At the bottom there is nothing but a small microphone hole.
Well, and finally, the main camera, an LED flash and a small slot for an external speaker are located on the back of the phone. The camera eye bulges quite a bit above the surface, so that the external speaker will not completely overlap, however, if the phone still lies on the back, there is a chance to miss a call.
Characteristics
Specifications Dexp Ixion e145 is quite good, as for an ultra-budget device, but do not cause much enthusiasm. So, the processor is installed here from Mediatek, model MTK6572M. It has 2 cores that operate at a frequency of 1 GHz. There is only 512 MB of RAM, so you shouldn’t particularly download the smartphone. The Mali-400 MP chip is used as a video accelerator.
There is no need to talk about any high or even average performance. Something similar could be observed in 2011-2013 on phones such as Samsung Galaxy Gio, Sony Xperia U, Xperia Sola. Although, in fairness, the listed smartphones looked much more interesting not only externally, but even in terms of iron.
Screen
The screen in the Dexp Ixion e145 has a diagonal of 4.5 inches. Its resolution is 854 x 480, and the pixel density per inch is 218 ppi. The matrix itself is made using IPS technology. Honestly, the matrix is not the most successful. Viewing angles are average, with a deviation in one direction or another, the screen begins to turn yellow or, conversely, turns purple.
The color rendition is a little lame, it would not hurt to slightly increase the saturation of the screen. The margin of brightness is small, information in the bright sun is unlikely to be clearly visible.
Camera
As for the camera, there are two of them in the Dexp Ixion e145 smartphone. The first, it is also the main one, has a 2 megapixel module and is equipped with autofocus. The front camera has a resolution of 0.3 megapixels and is suitable only for video calls on Skype.
As for the main camera, it is here, most likely, for show. It is completely incomprehensible why autofocus is needed here, since it is simply impossible to get at least a more or less decent photo here.
Battery
The battery in the Dexp Ixion e145 is set at 1600 mAh. At first glance it may seem that this is not very much, but it is not. Considering the smartphone’s most powerful stuffing and the fact that Dexp phones are notable for increased survivability, we can safely expect 2-3 days from the device without recharging. However, this figure can only be achieved if you use the device as a regular dialer + sms and a couple of hours a day surfing the Internet.
operating system
The smartphone is running Android 5. The shell is completely standard, or as they say, "naked android." There are no brakes or twitches in the device, everything works quite smoothly, but still, with a lack of RAM, small brakes may appear.
As for the alternative firmware on the Dexp Ixion e145, there are very few of them. You can familiarize yourself with them in a separate branch on w3bsit3-dns.com. There are instructions for installing them.
Price and conclusion
Today, the Dexp Ixion e145 can be bought at a price of 2700 rubles, which makes it very inexpensive. Yes, the phone cannot boast of any special characteristics and functions, but for its price, it offers everything you need for an undemanding buyer who is looking for the most ordinary phone with a touch screen.
