HomTom S16 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
HOMTOM S16 Overview
HOMTOM S16 - a beauty, not deprived of flaws
The Chinese company Homtom is well known outside of its homeland, but the attitude of people to it is ambiguous. The company's products are not deprived of a pleasant design, wide functionals, and the price is more than democratic, however, it does not happen without troubles. The manufacturer often forgets about these or other small things. Somewhere the software does not allow you to enjoy the device fully, somewhere the autonomy is forgotten. The hero of today's review tried to be ideal for the price segment, but he did not have a success in every detail.
The appearance of the novelty borrows the features of the beautiful HT16, complementing the ergonomic back panel with a dual camera and a fingerprint scanner. And the bezelless 5.5-inches display with a resolution at 1280x640 pixels makes its own adjustments to the brilliant exterior of the phablet. The image is bright, contrast, though detailization is far from the flagship level.
But the technical parameters do not correspond to the above pluses. The Mediatek MT6580 processor and the Mali 400MP2 video chip are out of date, and the fact that their power is enough for not very demanding games and the Android 7.0 interface is largely due to 2GB of RAM. The volume of ROM reached 16GB, but without a microSD slot, it would not be enough for owners of large collections of music and video.
A 8-megapixel camera (that looks like a dual sensor, interpolation up to 13 megapixels) gives us positive emotions after a weak "hardware". Photos are detailed, characterized by natural color rendition. However, both the rear and front modules are not designed for evening and night shooting. The battery capacity at 3000mAh is sufficient for 6-7 hours of active screen time with two days of operation of the device. In the end, we got a beautiful device with good photographic capabilities, which will be avoided by fans of resource-intensive gaming applications and 4G-surfing.
