AGM Glory G1S Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

AGM Glory G1S - too expensive and unique

The Chinese company AGM is clearly trying to find its place in the market, which, it would seem, was groped by the corporation a few years ago with the excellent X3 smartphone. However, either the developer's budget has been reduced, or the desire to create productive secure phones has disappeared, but the hero of today's review surprises with an impressive price tag, a budget processor, and, at the same time, extremely unusual additional functionality.

The appearance of the device came out original and interesting, which is rare for devices with protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. Fantastically beautiful design of photomodules and a fingerprint scanner, a fairly ergonomic shape of the body and reasonable display frames for the segment make the gadget's exterior more relevant than that of opponents. But the 6.53-inch IPS-screen pleases not so much. Of its advantages, one can only note the FullHD + resolution, there is no increased image refresh rate, and the brightness and contrast indicate that we have not the most expensive IPS panel that fades in direct sunlight.

Specifications are frankly frustrating. Instead of the flagship CPU, a modest Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 is used, which is assisted in launching resource-intensive applications by 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 619 video core. like Genshin Impact, Fortnite. The battery capacity was 5500 mAh, the need to recharge it will occur every couple of days, however, they saved money on the wireless method of charging the battery. The ROM size of 128GB is also far from the record, but at least it can be expanded with MicroSD cards. Also, NFC contactless payments, a loud 3.5W mono speaker have found space in the device.

48- and 20-megapixel cameras, coupled with a night vision sensor and a thermal imager, are headed by Sony IMX582 without optical stabilization, so you can’t hope for impeccable quality even in daytime shots. As for the thermal imager module, it is quite functional and is ready to record video at 25 frames per second, to help not only detect warm-blooded creatures, but also, for example, find a leak in pipes, determine the material of an object, and the like. However, the above module, coupled with a laser range finder, is not able to justify the inflated price of a mediocre Android smartphone.
