After Wiko and Archos, it will have to rely on a third French specialized in smartphones at low prices – made in China, of course. The mark Echo has been created by the distribution company Modelabs. In fact, it is not so new since it is already firmly established on the market of the feature phones selling low-end feature phones from € 10. With the Note, she attempts a foray among the phablets running by offering a wide-format model (5.5-inch) less than 130 euros.
A bright display
Has a rate as aggressive, we expected to see land a juggernaut of plastic. This is indeed what was right, but with a refinement welcome. Of course, there are a lot of wasted space around the screen. But the finishes are simple and clean, with a back way flannel that reminds us of the OnePlus 2 or the more recent Archos Diamond 2 More. Three capacitive buttons are located at the bottom of the screen, unfortunately without lighting. At night, it will be necessary to go groping.
To illuminate the room, you will be able to count on the screen, which offers a very nice brightness (615 cd/m2) and excellent contrast (1809:1). The Note puts a bit poorly this benefit by a definition of HD, which on the 5.5-inch, will result in a (low) resolution of 267 dpi. The slab is not, on the other hand, not of the first quality and the colors turn yellow when we do not look at it at face. In spite of everything, the display quality is not bad and it is hard to ask for much better for a smartphone priced at less than € 130.
“Slut comentvas you?”
Unfortunately, the screen of the Note has a real problem of reactivity, in particular when entering text. If you have the chance to have a good speed of typing on the virtual keyboard of Google, you might the crisis of nerve. A chain a little too fast between the three characters will “eat” the one in the middle, space included. In other words, you will have the joy of regularly sending “slut comentvas you?” to your correspondents. It will therefore be necessary to adopt a pace a little less supported, so that no letter is lost in the road.
If the Echo Note is running out of steam too easily, its screen is not the only responsible. He can only count on a data sheet, which can be termed very modest, with a Mediatek 6735 clocked at 1 Ghz, 2 Gb of ram and 16 Gb of storage. Despite the use of an Android 5.1 Lollipop without wrapper – Marshmallow is expected to arrive in the near future, the smartphone is quickly overtaken by events.
The applications require between one and three seconds of time to open, and slowdowns are felt as soon as one wanders between several apps intensive. In spite of everything, the comfort of use is acceptable. Players will not be surprised to learn that he will have to make a cross on all the graphic details. For example, a title such as Riptide GP is played by switching in modes with the most basic, with a low resolution.
Self insufficient
Wrong on sprint, the Note also on the duration. Its battery of 2700 mAh battery is not sufficient to enable him to offer us a good day of battery life. If you rotate on a regular basis shooting, video, and game, we can only advise you to have a charger or an external battery with you at all times. When our measure of self-purpose, the smartphone has not reached 6 o’clock, which causes it to switch into the category of bad students. Worse it does not do much better in call (screen off), which seems inconceivable with a battery of 2700 mAh.
not surprisingly, the Echo is not a good cameraphone. The images are rather contrasting, but unfortunately very noisy and lacking in detail. In low light, that is, without surprise, which is even worse. The video capture is just acceptable. And again, the level of detail is low.
