Good afternoon dear readers.
Time passed and I began to think about replacing my Lenovo S650. I honestly admit that the smart is excellent and I was looking for a replacement only because of the games, because the requirements are growing and the games are slowing down. Plus 1 GB of RAM does not allow you to minimize large applications. The budget was modest and almost the cheapest smart with 2 GB of RAM, at least of some kind, but a brand and a more powerful graphics adapter, turned out to be this particular THL T11.

After reading as much as one single review made six months ago by a respected forum member, namely this review - I decided to take this smart one. Now that I have it, I'm sad, because I can't understand whether I have a bad copy, or whether it's a new firmware, but smart in video tests lags well behind itself only in the spring. But in Antutu ran ahead noticeably.
I have been shopping in China for more than 8 years, so I know that you can bargain for any product at a profit for yourself and not offend the seller. So, from December 2, I began to whine about a discount, throwing various links to other stores as an argument, plus I had an additional motivation to buy in this store, because on one resource for the best review of the month I won a coupon for this store in the equivalent of $ 30 . (in PM I can tell the administration, otherwise they will be punished for advertising)
In general, on December 10, the support agreed - I used the coupon given to me earlier and the prize coupon code was canceled for me, when calculating the price became 165.99 USD, if you add a second phone, the price was 195.99, I'm not a scammer, I was just wondering :)

The phone came running in normal time, and for New Year's holidays even in very good time, somewhere in 2.5 weeks or about 20 days. Sent by Netherlands post.

For track lovers

For those who don't know the THL T11 yet, this is a simplified version of the more expensive flagship THL T100s. They cut the camera from 13 to 8 MP, the front camera from 8 to 5 MP, the screen was made not OGS, but GFF (glass-to-film-to-film full lamination) and the resolution was cut from Full HD (1920x1080) to HD ready (1280x720) . The last point may even be a plus, because a lower resolution means a lower graphics load, and therefore greater performance and possibly lower power consumption. But not everyone will see the difference between 720P and 1080P on smartphone screens. And the flagship has a built-in memory of 32 GB, 16 GB was left here.

More about GFF screens (glass-to-film-to-film full lamination)

Thl, like many other manufacturers, often uses more budget and modern technology GFF (glass-to-film-to-film full lamination), not OGS (one glass solution).
This means that the glass is protected by two layers of film that provide capacitive touch screen functionality. In the process of lamination, a gel is used for fastening protective glass on the display, which indicates the absence of an air gap between them. However, the use of GFF in production must inevitably thicken the device in comparison with OGS. Yes, and the picture will look, as far as I understand, somewhat differently. But in order to see the difference, it is necessary to compare the displays of devices manufactured using different technologies at the same time.

Specifications from various vendors and additional bold:

Screen: 5.0" IPS, 1280 x 720 pixels, 10-point multi-touch, Gorilla glass 3; full G+F+F screen lamination, density 320 dpi(everywhere where they write OGS is a lie).
Processor: MTK6592, (Cortex-A7, 1.7GHz, 8 cores);
Video accelerator: Mali-450 MP4; 700 Mhz
Operating system: Android 4.4.2
RAM: 2 GB (free somewhere 1.5 GB)
User Memory: 16 GB + microSD slot, internal memory is divided into 2 sections of 6 GB for programs and 7.57 GB for their files.
Cameras: Primary - 8 MP, backlight + autofocus; front - 5 MP + autofocus;
Communication: 2 SIM-cards, one in microSIM format (GSM/GPRS/EDGE + UMTS/HSPA+);
Additionally: GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, NFC, Ebook, FM, Bluetooth, OTG, microUSB, 3.5 audio, accelerometer, light sensor, distance;
Battery: 2750 mAh; (actually about 2500 mAh)
Dimensions: 144.3 x 70.4 x 8.4 mm;
Weight: 142 grams;

Characteristics from the phone menu

Packing and equipment.

Packaging may not always be in an air bag, as I understand it, it depends on packing days and shifts, moon phases or the great Chinese random. But many stores have now begun to send phones in such packages, and the rest of the orders in a regular puffy or foam film. But in such an air package, it is much more difficult to damage the phone box, from which the phone box retains its presentation.

box and packaging

Brief characteristics

Inside there is a rich equipment, which is enough for the first time, until the purchase of normal cases. Protective film on the screen, cover bumper and cover book.
The cover of the book did not get into the frame, but in fact it is the same bumper glued to the leatherette lining under the corrugated skin.

Read more about the package in the photo and brief comments

A colorful and long instruction for beginners and in general, in order to superficially understand what's what.

Two NFC tags for experiments, well, you must admit now this is not yet a developed technology and you can only indulge. Although some banks are trying to introduce an NFC payment method, they will finish it for a long time. But the very fact of the presence of this technology, with the expectation of the future, pleases.

Headset with vacuum headphones. The headset is not branded and does not represent anything normal. The sound is a little higher than the level of a poop and they stuffed it here just so that it was and you could talk through it, it’s not good for music.

Charging proprietary THL with output to normal USB 5 V 1 A.

The film on the screen is also branded specifically for this smartphone

Attached on top. Holes in the film are clearly aligned.

The dirty blue bumper case is made with high quality and without flaws. All holes and buttons match perfectly. True, the plastic is very thin and I think such a case may burst over time.

Cover-book on the suction cup.

Appearance and battery

A shipping film is pasted on the screen, but a protective film is pasted under it! And as we remember, the kit comes with another protective film in the load. The camera does not protrude beyond the body, so it will not cling and scratch, and even more so in a case.

Photos under the spoiler

I won’t take a bunch of photos, you can look on the Internet, so I’ll write the rest in words. In general, the body of the phone is made of a pleasant non-slip and not very easily soiled plastic. At the top is a USB connector and a hole for headphones, on the right is the power key, on the left is the volume rocker. Rounded edges and a pleasant texture make the smart one-handed grip comfortable and reliable. But the convenience will be only for right-handers :(

But I will pay special attention to the lower part. There is a cutout for easy prying of the cover and a microphone hole.

And now we look a little lower, and there is a gap !!! Through this crack, an uncompressed latch is visible. I tried to squeeze it gently, but even with considerable effort, it does not compress. In general, I read on the Internet and realized that this is enough common problem from this manufacturer (INEW phones are also produced by THL and there is the same song). It is solved quite easily, you need to slightly loosen the screws from the side of the slot and then the latch will be clamped. But since I changed my mind about keeping the phone, it would not be ethical to turn it around.

A slot for SIM cards and a memory card, in the lower left corner on the screw there is an opening seal (blue).

But on the cover there are two antennas with contact pads. If one is definitely NFC and its location on the lid is logical, then the second one, it seems to me, is probably Wi-fi (I won’t say), which is not very good, because if the phone’s lid is damaged or these contacts do not touch well, this can significantly affect reception signal. And Wi-fi for a smartphone is much more critical than NFC.

The battery says 2750 mah.

Battery weight 43.17 grams. Based on the rough folk formula that one gram = 50 mah, we get a very rough capacity of 2160 mah.
I decided to charge from mains charging and measure the capacity with a USB tester. The phone was discharged to 10% and charged to full.

Start and end of charging

As you can see from the results, the phone sucked in 2586 mah + it was charged by 10% minus the loss of all converters and the tester's error. Real capacity battery is approximately ~ 2500 mah.
The battery test shows these comparative results

In my typical mode of use with no games, little internet and infrequent calls up to 1 hour a day, the battery stats are what they show. Not bad at all. UPD I took out the battery and took a screenshot after that, thinking that the phone was keeping general statistics (suggested in the comments, thanks for that).

Corrected in the comments that the screen is not objective (

Screen

In general, before starting to write about the screen, I want to say on my own that this technology GFF is almost in no way inferior to OGS and the picture is simply wonderful, but at a diagonal angle the black color turns into gray, but the price difference turns a blind eye at this point. In 99% of the use cases, you will never hold your smartphone in this position, but as they say, “it doesn’t interfere, but the very fact of being there is annoying.”
The screen is protected by tempered glass Gorilla glass 3, a protective film is glued from the factory under the shipping film, and another protective film is given as a spare. Although even a screen without films will be very difficult to damage. All fears of the paranoid are satisfied.
Here is the moment with gray color.

Viewing angles are very good, there is almost no color inversion (except for black in the position above). I specially made a gif for clarity. FOR THE GIF TO WORK, CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

Performance Testing

The latest firmware based on Android 4.4.2
Here is what Antutu Info shows about the device

Testing gave unexpected results and THL T11 even slightly overtook Xiaomi Redmi note. Although on firmware 4.2.2 and on old version Antutu he gave out a little less than 28 thousand.

Multitouch everything is clear 10 touches - 11 does not work :)

WIFI reception, transmission and antenna sensitivity are very good. On another smart, it drops to -70 dbm in the same place.

The GPS found the satellites in about 15 seconds. But in the area where I live, there are few of them and the signal is not very good, but it works well. On the left is a photo on a glazed balcony (6th floor), on the right in the same place just below in front of the house.

3dmark results

CPU Prime Benchmark

The compass works in a horizontal position, so that it tunes smart, you need to twist it around a little.

The stability test was passed successfully and with good performance. There are no overheatings.

And now sadness in the form of graphics adapter tests.
Nenamark2

epic citadel

Antutu Video Tester 2.2 (despite the results, the videos were played without brakes)

I can't figure out why new firmware processor scores are higher, and graphics test scores are 15% worse. Either I got an unsuccessful copy or all these tests are not objective and in collusion with manufacturers to sell phones.
In games, I did not feel any discomfort.

Photos with a lot of objects

Camera front and back

The front camera is 8 megapixels with possible interpolation up to 13 megapixels with autofocus, I set it to 13 in the camera settings. I won’t upload all the pictures, but I’ll say on my own that the camera is good, but still washed a little. As a separate plus, I want to note an abundant number of interesting modes of operation.

Examples of photos of the main camera

daylight

Shot in HDR

artificial lighting

HDR

In total darkness

Fun Modes
You put “horns” for yourself or someone and the camera takes pictures automatically

Auto photo while smiling

Other modes such as panorama, etc. have already been described a bunch of times, I will not repeat.

The 5 MP front selfie camera with autofocus takes quite decent pictures, quite a bit worse than the main one.

Video filming

Video recording in this model is good, but there is a bit of sadness. The humor lies in the fact that with excellent focusing when shooting, in video mode there is no focusing to infinity, that is, constant autofocus. Or rather, not even so, it is there, but you have to constantly poke your finger into the screen to focus, it's terribly inconvenient !!! Suppose when shooting video reviews you can’t just put the phone on a tripod and bring or remove objects from it ((( This point was the main disadvantage for me.

I focused manually, the picture after the focus is gorgeous. In general, it is noticeable that it focuses a little on its own, but quite a bit.

Pros:

A good and juicy screen with an excellent image is no worse than OGS;
The processor is very good in its segment;
GPS, OTG, OTA, Compass and all sensors all work flawlessly;
Good performance in games do not look at the test results;
Photo and interesting camera modes.

Doubtful:

Not pressed latch, although it can be fixed, but still I would like it better;
Poor autofocus during video recording, most likely can be fixed by firmware;

Cons or minus:

The function keys, well, it's very hard to get used to, the pad is large and hitting the key exactly, in order to illuminate it does not always work, and in order for it to work, you need to press it again. The result is a chaotic poking in the desired area 2-3 times.

Conclusions:

Maybe I certainly described everything in vague colors, do not take it to heart. In fact, the phone is very good for its price, I just wanted for little money, but for everything to be like a more expensive device. For most users, I can recommend this device and I am sure that it will only please.
I, as a person who is looking for an ideal, will continue to look for it. The parameters are the same, I don’t want Full HD resolution, because for this processor it will be too heavy.

P.S.
