Ulefone Note 15 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Ulefone Note 15 - bitter nostalgia

The Chinese company Ulefone is trying to impose competition on numerous opponents in all price segments. Their list also includes the lowest cost category. Unfortunately, the manufacturer still believes that only minimal functionality is enough for the success of an inexpensive smartphone. That is why the hero of today's review is unlikely to achieve high sales.

The appearance of the novelty can only be praised for the modern camera unit and eye-catching colors of the cases. Negative emotions are evoked by the thick bezels of the display, the lack of a fingerprint scanner, and the outdated design of the 5-megapixel front camera. The 6.22-inch screen is made using IPS technology, the quality of the reproduced picture is relatively good. With the specified diagonal, the resolution of 1560x720 pixels provides good image clarity, color reproduction is correct. But the margin of brightness is modest, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight.

The specifications are truly amazing. The low-performance and frankly ancient MediaTek MT6580 processor is struggling to render the Android 12 GO interface. 2GB of RAM and the Mali400MP2 video chip will not help him in this matter. There is no need to talk about any gaming capabilities of the chipset. Only the least resource-intensive 3D games like World Of Tanks Blitz can be played with a minimum of graphics presets. The energy efficiency of the CPU is also far from the record, so a 4000mAh battery will usually give out 6-7 hours of active screen time. The USB Type-C port is present, but not fast charging, it will take a really long time for the device to be at the outlet. 32GB of ROM is a small amount of permanent memory by today's standards, so it is desirable to expand it with MicroSD cards.

The main 8 and 0.3-megapixel photomodules are endowed with autofocus and LED flash, so there is still a chance of a successful photo. However, slight deterioration in lighting, the appearance of the dynamics of objects lead to multiple noises, a drop in detail, and distortions in color reproduction. Stereo sound, NFC contactless payments - all of the above should be sought from device competitors. As a result, we got a gadget that even a democratic price tag does not save, because the number of shortcomings in it is extremely large.
