Level 1 cache (L1) Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster as system memory, and other levels of cache memory. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.	32 kB + 32 kB (kilobytes)
Level 2 cache (L2) L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory.	512 kB (kilobytes) 0.5 MB (megabytes)
Number of processor cores The processor core executes software instructions. There are processors with one, two or more cores. Having more cores increases performance by allowing multiple instructions to be executed in parallel.	4

The budget phone market is expanding with enviable frequency. Many manufacturers often did everything as a carbon copy, creating identical pieces of plastic and not often bothering to update even the platform. What was also alarming was how thin the line between " budget phone"and gadget" entry level"After all, almost everything is the same. But the world is changing, and with it the gadget industry.

China has seriously shaken the position of market leaders, and the most painful blow was dealt to the public sector class. “It’s time,” thought Prestigio, and rolled out their answer to the world - Prestigio Grace X3. Let's find out how caustic the rebuff turned out to be.

Characteristics of Prestigio Grace X3

What is in the box

The company decided that there is a line of tradition that should not be crossed. The box, as always, is full of red with silver lines. Inside, the phone itself lies modestly; under the cardboard there is a power supply and a USB cable. Everything is standard, except that there is no headset. Although the absence of headphones is also a standard among manufacturers recently.

Appearance, build quality

Here they really tried, no matter what anyone says. Previously, not particularly distinguished by their design, all the company’s phones could be recognized by the sparkling logo on the back cover. Now the emblem is no longer so striking, the phone itself becomes more attractive to the eye. And even though the design is similar to the former flagship from Samsung, it even does it credit. To some extent, of course. The body is made of pleasant textured plastic, on which they tried to imitate leather - it doesn’t look very similar, but it feels nice to the touch. The side edges are framed with silver metal-like plastic with notches. Above the screen from left to right: flash, light sensor, proximity sensor, camera eye and a neat speaker grid. Which, by the way, quite unexpectedly has a blue notification indicator built into it. Together it looks higher than its price and makes the phone stand out from its competitors.

The case itself is quite compact, and by modern standards even small. The frames around the display are thin, the screen takes up quite a lot of space, and working with one hand is realistic and convenient. But what I don’t really like is the backlighting of the function buttons located under the display. The area under the screen is constantly illuminated, and while during daylight hours it is practically unnoticeable, in the dark it interferes. At least, this bothered me, but such illumination may seem useful to someone. You decide.

As for the assembly. It’s good, the body doesn’t play or creak, although I didn’t bother to twist it too much. Few people abuse their gadget this way, and those who do this won’t even be satisfied with the build quality of their flagships. Again, there is only one thing that confuses me: the body is collapsible, and the cover will have to be removed at least once or twice. To pry it off, there is even a special gap. But the lid itself is very thin and flimsy. The two times I took it off, I couldn’t shake the feeling that if I applied a little more force, it would shatter into small pieces. Perhaps that's all.

Screen and color rendering

The screen is the main complaint. I found only one plus here, and to sweeten things up, I’ll tell you about it at the end.
The first thing that may scare you away from purchasing is the screen resolution - it is tiny. Small text, for example, on Twitter is practically unreadable; you have to increase the font size, and this already entails the inconvenience of using different applications. I strongly do not recommend reading on such a display to preserve your vision. But blaming the resolution alone is also not the point. Much depends on the quality of the matrix installed in the device. And here we move on to another point - color rendition. The colors are not just unnatural, they don't even match the real ones. The Play Store is not green, but pale lime green. Blue is pale blue, and even black is not that black. Minimum brightness the screen does not allow you to comfortably do something with the phone in the dark. And the maximum one makes everything readable even in direct sunlight.

And now a plus, pay attention - the display is covered with plastic, but fingerprints are almost impossible to collect. And those that remain can be easily erased. And this is good.

Iron

Here we come to a section that made us pleasantly surprised. The phone is equipped with 1 gigabyte of RAM, 8 gigabytes of permanent storage, of which, surprisingly, only 5 GB is available. The heart and brains of the phone is the quad-core MTK MT6582 with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz and a Mali-400 MP video accelerator standard for these processors. The power of the phone turned out to be, by definition, not up to par. Here you just had to turn on ART, and the desktops were flipped through smoothly, and the menu did not slow down. Pages in the browser loaded quickly and scaled just as well. And even though the test scores are modest, is this still important to someone? The main thing is how the phone behaves in real conditions. However, below you can see the results of the most popular benchmarks.

Well, now the sweetest part - the phone is definitely omnivorous. Having installed Modern Combat 5 on it, I expected to see something terrible and something incomprehensibly twitching - but no, the stable, albeit low fps allowed me to play comfortably. Ate the phone and the new Mortal Combat. The toy itself is so-so, but has decent hardware requirements - and these requirements are fully satisfied by Prestigio engineers.

Interface

Bare Android 4.4.2 with the ability to upgrade to 5.0 (according to the vendor). There are also proprietary applications. However, nothing unusual.

Camera

Both cameras show mediocre results. Although the phone clearly hints at those who like to take pictures of themselves. The front camera module has a resolution of 5 megapixels and is even equipped with a flash, which in theory should help good photos even in places with poor lighting. But the front camera is not capable of taking a high-quality photo; everything comes out a little blurry. The only thing that clearly works is the “beautiful face”, although the mode is implemented somewhat strangely. In those phones where we encountered this popular decoration method, it was possible to tighten the elements manually, but then you have to rely on the operation of the machine and the result does not always live up to expectations.

The main camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, but you can shoot in full resolution only in 4:3 format. All other photos come with maximum quality of 5 megapixels. Focusing is fast. Examples of pictures are below.

Sound

The speakers in the phone are located in a fashionable way, on the bottom end. On the one hand, this is a practical solution that does not muffle the sound if you put the phone on the table. But if you take the phone in landscape orientation, it turns out that one speaker grille is closed. Fortunately, the second one is obtained in a “bath” from the palm, which is why the sound resonates and is actually directed at the user. The speakers sound good - there is enough volume reserve to not miss a call in a crowded place. But you won’t really enjoy the music; it’s better to listen with headphones. There are some nice moments in this audition scenario. The software enhancer works as it should, without it the sound is lifeless, but once you check the box in the settings, the sound immediately becomes more rich and voluminous. The output is very decent sound, which can also give shape to some higher-end phones.

Autonomy

The autonomy really pleased me. From one full charge at 1650 mAh the phone in mixed mode (30 minutes of games, social media, listening to music) will work for two full days. Above all praise. At the same time, the brightness was always above average, and on the street we had to turn it on to maximum. You can rely on your phone in this sense, and you even remember the times when your phone didn’t charge every day. Almost shed a stingy tear.

conclusions

The Prestigio Grace X3 has clear advantages, but also disadvantages. A few years ago, such characteristics could have been flagship, and if this smartphone had come out at a different time, it would have been a clear recommendation for purchase. Now it’s hard to clearly perceive the phone. There are more attractive devices at the same price, and there are also those that are scary to look at. You can compare as much as you like - no one offers clear-cut solutions in any segment mobile market. Who would I recommend this phone to? Probably for those who want to get their first experience of communicating with a smart phone (don’t laugh too much, there are quite a lot of them). Adequate price and capabilities make it stand out against the gray background of most similar devices. Add design to this - and there are practically no equals. Those who decide to make this purchase will be able to get as much pleasure from the user experience as the phone has to offer.

What I liked:

• Design and build
• Autonomy
• Performance

What I didn't like:

• Screen
• Back cover material
• USB socket location

Prestigio Grace X3 | Packaging and equipment

The smartphone arrived in a small, durable box. To protect against scratches, the phone was initially protected with a sticker, which we immediately removed.

The smartphone is neatly laid out in the box, with accessories underneath:

• Prestigio Grace X3
• Power adapter
• USB cable
• Technical Guide

Prestigio Grace X3 | Appearance

The design of the smartphone is unremarkable: it almost completely replicates appearance Samsung's budget line. However, even this modest design seems pleasant. Due to its dimensions and light weight, the Prestigio Grace X3 fits perfectly in the hand.

The main part of the front side is occupied by a 4.5" display. Above the screen there is also a front camera with a flash and sensors. The earpiece and LED indicator are hidden under the mesh. Below the display there are three classic control buttons.

The side edges are made of silver plastic, “metal-like”. On the left there is a volume rocker and a power button. The buttons are easy to press.

The right side remained free.

At the top there is a headphone input and a micro-USB connector.

Below, under the grille, there is a microphone and speaker.

Under the cover of the smartphone there are two slots for SIM cards and a slot for a micro-SD memory card. Back cover fits quite tightly.

The assembly does not cause any complaints. There are no cracks or backlashes.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Screen

We also liked the screen of the Prestigio Grace X3. Of course, the resolution of 480×854 is not quite enough for a 4.5" screen. The pixels become noticeable from a short distance. I was pleased that the smartphone has an IPS matrix, so it has good viewing angles. And the brightness is enough to use the smartphone on street.

The tactile sensations from the screen are pleasant, Prestigio Grace X3 quickly responds to touches. During testing, no scratches appeared on the screen.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Software

Prestigio Grace X3 runs on Android 4.4, but the traditional shell from Prestigio is installed on top of the system.

There were some programs pre-installed on the smartphone. For example, out of the box you can use ES Explorer, Chrome, eReader Prestigio, McAfee Security, as well as the traditional package from Google.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Browser

The built-in browser is standard for Android; it works well on the Prestigio Grace X3, pages load at full size. Supported Flash Player 11 and HTML 5, you can watch videos directly in your browser. Login account Google allows you to synchronize browser data (bookmarks, history, etc.), which is actually very convenient.

The Chrome browser is also pre-installed.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Music

You can use it to listen to music standard application“Music”, which automatically searches for audio files on the device, sorts them by album and artist. Of course, you can use the player that you like best.

The speaker disappointed us a little; it is quite quiet and also rattles at high volumes. It is clear that the sound quality leaves much to be desired.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Video

We tested support for smartphone video formats using the Antutu Video Tester program.

Prestigio Grace X3 coped well with the task. The smartphone played almost all test videos up to 2K, which is a good indicator.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Camera

The smartphone is equipped with an 8 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. The camera interface is similar to the classic Android version.

The shooting quality of the rear camera leaves much to be desired. Even on a sunny day the picture seems dim. Full-size pictures can be viewed in our gallery.

Front-camera gave even worse results, although this will be enough for video conferencing. Full-size pictures can be viewed in our gallery.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Performance

CPU performance

We tested the performance of the 4-core processor of the Prestigio Grace X3 smartphone using Linpack. Results are in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOPS).

Here the smartphone shows excellent results, beating many models of a similar price category. Prestigio Grace X3 is second only to eight-core smartphones.

Overall system performance

We used Smartbench 2012 1.0 to evaluate overall system performance. This test is very similar to the 3DMark and SysMark suites in that it provides simple and easy-to-use performance indexes for two categories: productivity applications and games. On the other hand, a synthetic test may not accurately reflect the actual performance of applications and games.

You can compare the results with other smartphones and tablets at http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/

Prestigio Grace X3 issues good performance, which, in fact, is not surprising due to the relatively powerful processor. Gaming performance also did not disappoint, but it is worth remembering that this is due to the low resolution of the smartphone.

AnTuTu

The smartphone again demonstrated excellent results for its price category. The processor performance is again at the level, and the phone should handle games without difficulty.

3DMark

The result is quite acceptable; due to the low resolution, the Prestigio Grace X3 can easily compete in gaming performance with more expensive smartphones.

JavaScript Performance

SunSpider is a JavaScript benchmark that demonstrates both the performance of the tablet's JavaScript engine and (to a lesser extent) processing power. hardware. Very poor implementation of JavaScript fast tablet can “lubricate” the entire performance of the platform. And at the same time, an excellent implementation of JavaScript will allow you to effectively use even slow systems. However, today the main implementations of JavaScript engines are becoming closer to each other, and developers are borrowing all the best ideas. JavaScript tests are single threaded due to the nature of browsers. SunSpider correctly evaluates CPU-sensitive tasks found in real web applications.

Below are the results of SunSpider 1.0 on tablets and Android phones. Android devices use Google V8 JavaScript engine.

The smaller the result, the better. And here the smartphone produces good results. We can say with confidence that web surfing will not slow down, and you will be able to quickly load even “heavy” pages.

Network Bandwidth

We tested network performance using the IxChariot test, as well as an 802.11 b/g/n router with 1 Gbps ports. The tablet was located about 1 meter from the access point. We tested the maximum available network mode (802.11g or 802.11n), at this time there were no other active transmissions, and no pronounced interference was detected in the network coverage area.

The throughput of the Prestigio Grace X3 was 35.7 Mbit/s. This speed should be sufficient for the vast majority of users.

Epic Citadel

We added gaming test Epic Citadel, which is a demonstration of the capabilities of the Unreal engine from Infinity Blade for Android OS. The test has different .apk and cache for different GPUs, so you need to take your versions for the test. The test was carried out in High Quality and Ultra High Quality modes. You can see the results below.

An excellent result, you can be sure that the Prestigio Grace X3 will cope even with heavy games.

Battery life

We tested the phone for a while battery life in different use cases. We tried to bring testing conditions as close as possible to real ones. Measurements were carried out at medium brightness level, Wi-Fi turned on and one working SIM card. When watching a movie, the sound was played through headphones at medium volume.

Unfortunately, the small battery capacity was a fly in the ointment. Of course, in everyday scenarios, the Prestigio Grace X3 is enough for two days, but you won’t be able to watch a movie or play for a long time.

Prestigio Grace X3 | Conclusion

Prestigio Grace X3 is an excellent smartphone, what is called a “workhorse”. Yes, it does not have an outstanding design, a high-resolution screen, a high-quality camera, or much more. However, good hardware that allows the smartphone to cope with any application, not to mention web surfing, makes you forget some of the shortcomings. You get used to the low resolution and pixelation over time, especially since the viewing angles of the Prestigio Grace X3 are quite wide. Naturally, the smartphone has many shortcomings that we had to accept for the sake of the low price, but you quickly get used to them. In the end, it turns out that the Prestigio Grace X3 is a good price/quality ratio, so when buying a budget smartphone, you should not bypass the Prestigio Grace X3.

Advantages of Prestigio Grace X3:

• High performance
• Wide viewing angles
• High quality build
• Nice price
• Dual SIM cards

Disadvantages of Prestigio Grace X3:

• Discreet Design
• Small battery capacity
• Low screen resolution

Sometimes you can find pretty good phones from little-known brands. What attracts people in such devices is cost and functionality. But is it worth buying such smartphones?

Design

The appearance of Prestigio devices is quite interesting and remarkable. Each device has its own design and stands out among its peers.

The only thing that confuses the appearance is the great similarity with It seems that for its devices the company takes several parts from well-known models and combines them.

For example, the Grace X3 design resembles many devices from the well-known Samsung company. Moreover, if you remove the company logo, then cellular telephone Prestigio will be quite difficult to distinguish from a more popular brand.

Of course, such similarities only benefit a budget device. In fact, Prestigio phone implements flagship designs in the cheaper market segment.

It will be difficult for users to blame the company in this regard, because the devices turn out to be quite interesting in appearance and bear little resemblance to those made in China.

Camera

Apart from design, the Prestigio phone sometimes imitates its more advanced brothers in other aspects. The cameras installed on the device periodically imitate the same market leader, Samsung. Thus, the 5453 Duo device acquired an 8 megapixel eye, but in fact it is an analogue of five megapixels from a well-known company.

Sometimes mobile phone Prestigio is also equipped with more powerful cameras, as in the case of the 3530. As many as 13 megapixels are installed there, and the front one will also please the owner with the presence of 5 megapixels.

Naturally, there are exceptions. The 3453 model has only 2 megapixels, but given its cost, this does not seem particularly important.

It is impossible to say that the cameras in the company’s devices are their weak point; on the contrary, it is one of the strongest points of the company’s smartphones. Few can boast of such characteristics.

Filling

For example, Grace 7557 is capable of surprising many users with its filling. This smartphone, quite noticeable both in design and in capabilities, will satisfy many needs of even sophisticated users.

The device has as many as eight cores, each of which has a frequency of 1.7 GHz. Naturally, the MTK processor is used, as in most Chinese devices. Despite its origin from the Middle Kingdom and low cost, the part used has proven itself very well.

In addition to an excellent processor, the smartphone has as much as 2 GB of RAM. For a representative of budget devices, this is an excellent indicator.

Of course, there are cheaper devices with lower specifications. Although Grace 7557 has a low price, it can rightfully be considered one of the company's flagships.

The company sells high-quality hardware even in the cheapest devices. An example of this is the 3503, which has 1.2 GHz and 512 RAM.

Perhaps many smartphones released by the company do not reach the 7557 in terms of hardware, but they will still be able to satisfy many of the owner’s needs.

Display

The weakest point in the cheapest representatives is the device screen. And the point is not in the small diagonal, but in the resolution. When setting even 4 inches, the company sometimes neglects other parameters.

Thus, the Prestigio 3453 phone was equipped with TFT technology. And everything would be fine, but the lack of pixels leads to grainy images.

A similar drawback was corrected in more advanced models. Already 7557 uses modern Super Amoled technology and better resolution.

When choosing a device, you should definitely study the screen characteristics. Because not all devices can be satisfied with the quality of the display.

Battery

The main problem with smartphones produced by this company is the battery. At first glance, the batteries used in the devices have considerable capacity, but the operating time is let down.

Using a not particularly demanding processor from MTK should have solved this problem, but it still exists.

The device discharges incredibly quickly, although the battery parameters correspond to those of Lenovo. The approximate capacity of even the weakest phones is 2000 maH, but it seems that in reality it is only 1500.

Accordingly, the operating time during active use is only 3-4 hours. It may seem that this is quite normal, but it is not always possible to additionally charge the device.

Compared to the same Lenovo, which has more advanced hardware and a similar battery capacity, the operating time is simply ridiculous.

Repair

An unpleasant situation that the owner of a Prestigio may encounter is a breakdown. However, the problem is not the damage to the device itself, but the search for spare parts for it. Most workshops simply do not have parts for devices from this company.

The only way out of this situation is a long wait for the required item to appear in the warehouse or an order from abroad.

Advantages

If we evaluate the most successful devices from model range, you can form an idea about whether it is worth becoming the owner of Prestigio.

It is worth noting the interesting design of the devices. And no matter what the cost of the device, each smartphone stands out, and this is already pleasing. Even among popular mobile phones it is difficult to find such a wide variety. The catchy appearance, as well as the individuality of each phone, distinguishes the brand from the general background.

Having a good camera will be no less pleasant. In top models, such as 3530, this will be as much as 13 megapixels. Moreover, the Prestigio phone has all the necessary data that improves the quality of pictures.

It is quite difficult to ignore the screens of some devices. Application modern technologies and attention to detail allow the display to compete with already well-known brands.

And a more significant advantage of Prestigio is the price set for the phone. Almost all models can be confidently classified as cheap devices worthy of attention.

Flaws

There are also disadvantages that slightly worsen the overall picture.

For the most part, this is an incredible drain on battery life. It seems that the standard battery for everyone does not satisfy all the needs of the device. Constant dependence on charging darkens the impression of the company's smartphones. Perhaps replacing the battery with an analogue one with a larger capacity will solve the problem, but a standard battery is not enough.

The pain point in the lowest priced devices is their screen. Outdated technology and noticeable pixels do not improve the user experience. Behavior in the sun will also not delight the owner.
