Good day to all!

I started getting acquainted with DEXP MQ 3.5 on December 30, 2014, so we have been friends since last year and have learned enough about each other, including all the advantages and disadvantages. Besides, we've been through it together New Year, and that already means something.

The main distinguishing feature of this smartphone is its physical QWERTY keyboard. Many may question the existence of such a solution, but let’s not draw conclusions ahead of time, but try to figure out whether this is so. In addition, the smartphone has a 3.5" display and is based on Android OS. Well, another important indicator is the price, which this moment is some 3290r.

Package

Everything is strict and harmonious. A black small flat box, which is typical for most devices from DEXP.

Equipment

The package does not boast any special features. Standard USB cable, charger, warranty card and user manual.

Appearance

Personally, I really liked the device. Lightweight, moderately compact, quite strict. And even the QWERTY keyboard fits harmoniously on the body of the device.

The material from which the smartphone is made is, of course, plastic, which is a standard solution for budget models. No gaps or complaints regarding the assembly were found.

It fits perfectly in the hand. Although it may seem a little small for large hands.

In general, at this price, DEXP MQ 3.5 can be an excellent gift, both for yourself and for family or friends.

Connectors and controls

1. The manufacturer left the right end absolutely smooth, without any buttons or connectors.

2. On the left side we have the power and volume buttons.

3. At the bottom there is a micro USB connector, 2 speakers and a microphone.

4. On top there is only 3.5 mm audio output.

5. On the back panel we see the camera and flash.

6. The front side is the most interesting, where we have a front camera, a speaker and, of course, a QWERTY keyboard.

Let's look at the keyboard in a little more detail. Here, in addition to a set of letters, we can enter additional characters programmed on the buttons by clicking on the arrow with a square. In addition, there is a button similar to Shift, which allows you to enter capital letters. To change the language, you will have to hold down our Shift + Spacebar. While on the home screen or in the application menu, if you start pressing the hardware buttons, text is immediately entered to search in the browser. Or, if these buttons are digits, the dialing screen appears.

Surprisingly, even my Dyusha became interested in this smartphone and its QWERTY keyboard. So you can get used to typing on it with almost any hand (or paw) size)))).

Screen

This is a budget model, hence the screen characteristics are very simple. This is a 3.5 inch TFT display with a resolution of 320x480 and 262 thousand colors. Of course, the resolution is not enough, and I would like more colors, but for this class of device, it’s quite tolerable. For normal use and even for some games it is quite enough.

Viewing angles when tilted left and right are quite good.

But when tilting up and down it is much worse.

I would also like to note that when typing on this smartphone, the entire screen is at our disposal, because The keyboard is already located in the hardware part, so 3.5 inches is enough for him.

As for the response to touches and Multitouch, the response is quite fast and responsive, but the test on Multitouch showed the possibility of only 2 simultaneous touches.

Camera

The camera in this device seems to be just there to be. With its 2MP, you can, for example, take a photo for a call image. Although, if you use your imagination, you can probably find some other worthy use for it. But let's first look at the result.

As usual, we have some tweaks to make. However, little depends on them.

This is how the photos turn out.

And this is what comes out in poor lighting.

And this is what happens when shooting a panorama.

In general, the quality depends very much on the lighting. But even under ideal conditions there remains a fair amount of “noise”.

The video can only be shot stationary and in good lighting, otherwise it will turn out like mine. And it would be nice to remember to unfold the phone.

The front camera has only 0.3 megapixels, but somehow copes with its functions.

Software

The smartphone runs Android 4.2.2, which is a good plus. The system performance was up to par, no glitches or freezes were noticed. Before us is an almost clean system with small list pre-installed applications are Navitel, 2Gis, Dr.Web. Otherwise, almost everything is standard.

This is how everyone’s already favorite “curtain” is implemented, divided into notifications and quick switches for the main settings.

When typing a message or any other text field, by default, there is no software keyboard in order to enjoy all the delights of the hardware one. However, you can change this in the settings and also call up the software keyboard at any time. But when dialing a number, large numbers appear so as not to have to worry about typing their smaller counterparts on the keyboard.

Productivity

This smartphone has a dual-core MediaTek MT6572M processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. The amount of RAM is 512 MB. For everyday tasks such as making calls, writing SMS, and even browsing the web or some applications, this is quite enough. The phone copes with most of these tasks without any brakes, even when they are started at the same time. As for testing, AnTuTu rated our DEXP at 10472 points.

Compared to other models, this test looks something like this.

Well, the rest of the AnTuTu testing indicators.

Numbers and indicators are, of course, good, but what about games? For testing, 3 popular, but not the most powerful toys were installed. And DEXP MQ 3.5 coped with them without problems.

In general, the productivity of the device is quite at the level. He copes with his tasks.

Communications and sound

Wi-fi and bluetooth in this smartphone do their job perfectly, without any complaints. We also have GPS with A-GPS support. There are no complaints about him either. My location was found almost instantly.

But as for the sound, I would like it a little more. Even at maximum volume, with an incoming call, the volume seems too low. But during a conversation, audibility is excellent, both in one direction and in the other.

Working with two SIM cards

The smartphone has 2 slots for SIM cards. One of them is standard size, the other is for microSIM. The operating mode is alternating, i.e. at the moment of conversation on one SIM card, the second one becomes inaccessible. Both SIM cards are available in standby mode.

Also, you can set the default SIM card for calls, SMS, video calls and the Internet, or each time choose which SIM card you want to perform an action on.

Battery

The device has a 1400mAh Li-ion battery. And my first thought was: “What was the manufacturer thinking when he made such a decision? After all, with such a battery, a smartphone cannot survive a day!” However, what was my surprise when, with fairly gentle use, the device lasted me almost four days. Of course, in fact, it just sat with me for about a day, and for the remaining 2 days it was used extremely inactively, but still.

When testing medium-power games, such as those considered for productivity, the phone loses an average of 5% per 10 minutes, which means it should be enough for almost 3.5 hours of continuous gaming. When browsing the Play Store, the battery was consumed at a rate of 3% in 10 minutes, that is, 5.5 hours continuous operation. In general, it turns out that everything is not so bad. It's quite possible to live.

conclusions

Well what can I say? During our acquaintance, I became very attached to this smartphone, and it really proved itself to be the best. And you can close your eyes to all its modest shortcomings, knowing how much it costs. The other question, of course, is whether it's right for YOU. My Dyusha, for example, completely refused to return it.

But let's be more constructive.

Pros:

1. Availability of a hardware keyboard.

2. Supports two SIM cards of different sizes.

3. Compact and lightweight.

4. Fairly good performance.

5. Availability of everything you need (3G, GPS, 2 cameras, flash).

Minuses:

1. Camera (leaves much to be desired).

2. Ring volume.

3. I would still like a larger battery.

Japan is a country with an unusual and amazing mysterious culture And rich history. It combines the incredible development of technology and, albeit modified over the twentieth century, but still preserving the most important features of traditional cultural heritage and social foundations.

Naturally, among others, such a state is full of its own legends about all sorts of terrible phenomena of a mystical nature. And the places where they were observed or are observed to this day. In this article we will tell you about some of them.

For example, about a hospital for tuberculosis patients, famous throughout the country, located in the city of Kaizuka. At first, the building itself was designed and built as a school, but in 1958 it was turned into a hospital for tuberculosis patients.

Watchmen and some local residents, and today a number of tourists talk about ghosts that are seen and heard within these walls.

Another hospital inhabited by ghosts is located in the city of Kasumigaura. At first it was a naval base. Later, the building was transferred to the use of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University.

Unfortunately, over time it was abandoned and it almost collapsed. There is no exact data about the existence of a ghost here, but strange phenomena have been observed several times. And popular rumor strengthened them, especially since the building was used several times for filming horror films.

On the island of Hokkaido, the Jomonon Tunnel serves as a connecting part of the road between Tokoro and Munbetsu counties. The tunnel is 507 meters long. During its construction, many workers died there and were buried right inside.

After this, it is not surprising that paranormal activity is observed there from time to time. In particular, some travelers have seen ghosts.

We should also remember about Tashiro Island. It also has a second name - Cat Island. This place is inhabited by simply a huge number of cats. All cat lovers should definitely visit there.

It is known that since ancient times cats were considered associated with mysticism. And many feel this when they find themselves on a cat island. Sometimes the behavior of cats here is extremely unusual, and supernatural manifestations are not uncommon.

There are many rumors about the mysticism of the village of Nagoro, but almost no established supernatural manifestations have been recorded. And yet the atmosphere in the village is frightening. Of course, this mostly deserted village doesn’t look like that at all. After all, there are hundreds of stuffed animals on the streets, behind counters and in houses. This place is a tourist attraction that tickles the nerves of everyone who visits there.

For Japan, the concept of a curse is somewhat different from its classical European counterpart, although in essence they are similar. What’s interesting is that there are many damned places in this country.

For example, Mount Kuseyama is considered cursed; anyone who steps on it will soon die. Surprisingly, the mountain and surrounding areas have not been purchased. They say that there have been a number of accidents with those who tried to visit it, so buyers are simply afraid.

A similar situation is observed with Mount Ikhai. Only when entering it or cutting down forests there, it is not the violator himself who dies, but one of his family members. The same thing happens to the owners and workers of the Kuse and Yammai fields.

List damned places just as one can remember for a very long time about all kinds of deities who amuse themselves by punishing people using such methods. And if some of the stories are clearly fiction. Others seem to have a very real basis.

There are more than enough scary places in Japan besides those listed, so we will probably talk about a number of them in separate articles.

For sensitive and impressionable people who are not ready to get acquainted with the dark pages of human history, entry is strictly with the permission of grandmothers.

San Zhi. Taiwan

At first glance, San Zhi is an ideal city: beautiful well-kept houses, high-tech housing, well-thought-out infrastructure, beautiful nature. But not without the “rabble” (otherwise the city would not have made it into this chart). During the construction of this heavenly monastery, dozens of builders died.

One potential reason is that the city was allegedly built on the site of a former Japanese death camp. As soon as this was trumpeted in the media, investors were no longer able to sell a single house here. The country's authorities cannot even demolish the cursed place: local residents are afraid that this will release the ghosts.

This is what San Zhi looks like today:

Poveglia Island. Italy

The island is famous for the fact that in the 14th century people suffering from the plague were brought here (there was no chance to cure them, so they were left there to die). And after death, the corpses were burned - the mass graves were already so crowded that they could not accommodate the bodies. They say that the island's soil is 40% human ash.

One more no less scary fact: A psychiatric hospital was built on the same island in 1922. In it, scientists conducted their insidious experiments on the mentally ill. This is the fate of the island: strewn with plague, corpses, and a psychiatric hospital with patients.

Mary King's Dead End. Edinburgh

But the Edinburgh authorities did not find a similar island for plague patients. Therefore, it was decided to take the poor fellows to one of the city districts. It turned out to be Mary King - a dead end, surrounded by a high wall, behind which the “lucky ones” met the “lady in black”.

Winchester House. California

Sarah Winchester claimed that as soon as the sound of hammers died down during the construction of her house, she would die immediately. Therefore, there are as many as 160 rooms, 40 staircases, dead ends, basements, closed rooms without a single entrance, and God knows what else. The housing took 38 years to build.

“Crazy,” you might think. But it was in vain: as soon as construction was stopped, the next day Sarah departed into the other world.

Aokigahara Forest. Japan

The Japanese call it the Suicide Forest. This is because from 1950 to this day people constantly come there to... die. They say that several thousand people have already lost their lives there. The tradition has taken root so much that it is still honored and supported to this day.
