Positioning

Samsung has all the products with the NEO prefix denote the redundant versions, which somehow cut functionality, but it was possible to reduce the cost for the buyer. Obviously, the Note 3 Neo model has its prototype the original flag of the company - Note 3. At first glance, all software functionality remained the same - the pen knows how to perform exactly the same actions, even the size of the devices is very close.

In Neo theory, it looks correct and good - reduction is associated with less memory, another screen, a smaller chamber. But comparable work time, as well as new color solutions. Leave Note 3 Neo at the same time as the main model in October 2013, and it would have noticeable sales, but today the value of Note 3 is quite low, in particular, you can still find a model from a megaphone that costs 21,990 rubles (plus 3 000 At the expense of the operator), as a result, it gives 24,990 rubles. Exactly as much as they ask for Neo - and there is no point in buying it at an equal price with the original. But this story is typical for Russia, in other markets, the break is rather noticeable, and someone needs to look like this is based on this parameter.

In the separation from Note 3, it is possible to consider this model as a typical representative of the Fablet category, here Note 3 Neo has undoubted advantages over competitors - working hours, availability of stylus and all chips associated with it that leak from the Wacom digitizer built into the display. Competitors have nothing like even close. But the fact is that competing this device will still with the Senior Meeting - Note 3. And he loses this competition. However, let's understand this in a thorough review. In it, I will sometimes compare this unit with the original Note 3, as this is a comparison and is of a certain interest.

Design, dimensions, control elements

Most of the current models from Samsung are indistinguishable from each other, their facial panel is distinguished solely than the size, but not elements of design. In the hands of confusing Note 3 Neo with the original Note 3, you can easily, they are indistinguishable. With direct comparison, you note that NEO is smaller - 148.4x77.4x8.6 mm against 151.2x79.2x8.3 mm. The difference is not fundamental, the device is well lying in the hand, which we do not expect from such big phone. The weight of the device is 162 grams.

But this looks like Note 3 Neo on the background of Galaxy S5, more, but this difference is not so critical.

Especially in order for Neo to be distinguished from his fellow, made a new color solution - green. But there is a device and white, as well as black colors.

The adjustment of the device is traditional: on the front panel there is a mechanical key, around it - two sensory. Over the screen you can see the front camera, as well as the approximation sensor, illumination. On the left side - a paired volume adjustment key on the right - the on / off button. In the upper end - 3.5 headphone or headset connector, also on two butts are microphones. The main camera is on rear surface, Next to it - the LED flash. Finally, in the lower end - the standard microusb connector, immediately you can see the slot for the S-Pen stylus.

The quality of the assembly of the device is excellent, there are no hoptes, the details are firmly adjacent to each other. Opening the back cover, you will see a microSD connector and a microsim card slot.

Display

The screen has a diagonal of 5.5 inches (5.7 inches in Note 3), performed using Super AMOLED technology, resolution compared to the predecessor decreased to 1280x720 since 1920x1080 points (16 million colors). Capacitive screen, supports up to 10 simultaneous presses. The quality of the screen is good, but there is an explicit loss senior model. By the standards of the Fablet market in Neo, there is an excellent screen, competitors displays are usually worse. But comparisons with Note 3 it does not withstand - the color reproduction is worse, the brightness does not have such a stock and so on. If you do not compare the screens directly, you will not notice. But with a consistent comparison it is striking.

In the settings, all branded chips characteristic of the ruler flagships are preserved, in particular, adjusting colors saturation, you can make them calm, and you can choose bright colors. From an unusual - optimization of video when playing here, it does not always work correctly: sometimes black in the rollers is displayed with sweeping squares, this is a clear engine error that analyzes the picture. I did not observe such a Samsung on any Samsung, this flaw is immediately manifested.

In the sun, the screen remains readable, and there are no complaints about it. In general, this is a good solution, but it is very inferior to Note 3, and this is noticeable.

Battery

The phone uses a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3100 mAh (3200 mAh in Galaxy Note 3). According to the manufacturer, the battery is capable of providing up to 18 hours of talk mode, up to 540 hours in standby mode (3G mode). In the conditions of Moscow networks, the device operates on average about two full days at a very high load (the difference with the third note is not very noticeable). Full battery charging time - about 3 hours.

Video playing time - about 13.5 hours. Music with a shut off screen can be listened to 64 hours. Working with Wi-Fi to - 12 hours, data transmission in the 3G network - up to 10 hours. In general, almost no differences in the time of work from Note 3 no, as, however, and the winnings that could be expected from the less powerful processor.

USB, Bluetooth, Communication Features

Bluetooth. Bluetooth 4.0 version (LE). When transferring files to other devices with support for this technology, Wi-Fi 802.11 n is activated, and the theoretical transmission rate is about 24 Mbps. Checking transmit 1 GB file showed the maximum speed of about 12 Mbps within three meters between devices.

The model supports various profiles, in particular Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port, Dial Up Networking, File Transfer, Object Push, Basic Printing, Sim Access, A2DP. Working with headsets does not cause any questions, everything is forgiven.

USB connection. In Android 4 for some reason, you abandoned the USB Mass Storage mode, left only MTP (there is also PTP mode).

USB version - 2, data transfer rate - about 17 MB / s (in Note 3 uSB version - 3.0). With a USB connection, the device is recharged.

The microUSB connector does not support the MHL standard, it is also a simplification compared to Note 3.

Wi-Fi. The 802.11 A / B / G / N / AC standard is supported, the workshop is similar to Bluetooth. You can remember the selected networks, automatically connect to them. It is possible to configure the connection to the router to one touch, for this you need to press the key on the router, as well as activate the same button in the WPA SecureEasySetup menu. From additional options, it is worth noting the setup wizard, it appears with a weak or disappearing signal. You can also configure Wi-Fi to schedule.

Also, for the 802.11 n standard, the HT40 operation is supported, which allows you to double the bandwidth Wi-Fi (support from another device is required).

Wi-Fi Direct. The protocol that is intended to replace Bluetooth or start competing with its third version (it also uses Wi-Fi versions n to transfer large files). In the Wi-Fi menu, select the Wi-Fi Direct section, the phone begins to search for devices around. Select the desired device, activate the connection on it, and voila. Now B. file Manager You can view files on another device, as well as transmit them. Another option is to just find devices connected to your router and pass on them. filesThis can be made from the gallery or other partitions of the phone. The main thing is that the device supports Wi-Fi Direct.

NFC.. The device contains NFC technology, it can be used with various additional applications.

S beam. Technology that allows you to send a few gigabyte size to another phone in a few minutes. In fact, we see in S Beam a combination of two technologies - NFC and Wi-Fi Direct. The first technology is used to reduce and authorize the phones, but the second is already used to transmit the files themselves. A creative recycled way to use Wi-Fi Direct is much easier than using connections on two devices, file selection and so on.

IR port. We are interested in using the phone as a remote control of various household appliances. Automatically adjusts almost for any technique model.

Memory, memory cards

In the phone 16 GB of internal memory, about 10 GB is available to the user. Also supported memory cards up to 64 GB.

The amount of RAM is 2 GB, after loading free about 1 GB. In Note 3, the amount of RAM is 3 GB, which is noticeable - there applications are launched markedly faster, and also differs in the overall speed of the system, Note 3 shows it wins.

The model turned out fast, but not a record holder. Again, if not compared with Note 3, then everything will be not bad - but as soon as you take two devices in your hands, the difference immediately rushes into the eyes.

Hardware model options, performance

Race processors on the market does not subside for a minute, in Qualcomm refuse to produce solutions with the number of cores of more than 4, and most of the manufacturers last year presented their 8-nuclear decisions. Samsung also decided to use more economical 6-nuclear exynos processors for substitute models and announced the first processor in February, it became the heart of Galaxy Note 3 Neo, which is produced in two versions - N750 and N7505. The N7505 model has support for LTE, which is implemented at the LTE modem from Intel - XMM 7160. Thus, the production of LTE models should be needed in Samsung, refusing Qualcomm solutions that go to the top devices.

The market has developed a unique situation in which Qualcomm is a leader in the production of LTE-solutions, as well as simply chipsets, but its share is blurry such as MediaTek (their solutions are already used by A-brands, and their number will increase), other manufacturers are in Budget segment, where companies have nothing to answer. The nvidia is bitten by NVIDIA, as well as Samsung, which is slow, but correctly improves its processors.

For me, the EXYNOS 5260 chipset was interesting because it can be compared with the 8-nuclear analogue used in Note 3, the benefit of them are comparable batteries (3200 mAh in the original Note, 3100 mAh in Neo). Screens are comparable diagonally, but in Neo resolution 1280x720 points. On the other hand, the screen should not strongly affect the power consumption, first of all, it may be the chipset.

Official specifications contain these parameters of the telephones in various modes.

	Note 3 Neo N750	Note 3 N900.
3G Internet	Until 10 o'clock	Up to 11 hours
Wi-Fi Internet	Till 12 o'clock	Up to 13 hours
Video	Up to 13 hours	Till 12 o'clock
Audio	Up to 64 hours	Up to 68 hours
Waiting time, 3G	Up to 540 hours	Up to 490 hours
Talk time, 3G	Until 18 o'clock	Up to 20 hours

Note that despite the difference between 100 mAh in the battery capacity, most of the exynos 5260 operates less than Exynos 5420, in which 8 cores. The technology according to which processors are made, 28 Nm, that is, there is no difference. The only difference that we can hurt, this is the time of work in standby mode - the difference is 40 hours in favor of Neo.

It turns out that the 6-nuclear processor made using ARM Big.little technology at all gives rise to work in time, as I would like to believe and what is said in this technology. In theory, the winning should go due to the fact that 4 nuclei A7 at a frequency of 1.3 GHz do not spend as much energy as the more productive A15 kernels at a frequency of up to 1.7 GHz, the number of which in this chipset has been reduced to 2. In Exynos 5420, which is in N900 Note 3, 4 A15 cores, each of which is capable of working at a frequency of 1.8 GHz. And here it arises bewilderment: the fact that the theory seemed winning, turns into comparable, and even the worst time of work. Why?

The answer is not to look for not in the number of processors, but in how they work. Most modern chipsets support the change in the clock frequency, as a result, they do not work at maximum frequencies most of the time. High-performance kernels are activated in three-dimensional games, when watching a video, but in no way when accessing ordinary telephone features. That is, in fact, we see that the same playing of music is approximately the same, other modes also coincide. The most basic 4 kernels are used, and the difference in 2 kernels almost does not affect performance.

It turns out that the solution more economical in theory turns out to be only cheaper in production for the company, but at the cost of the final product (in our case, Note 3 NEO) is almost no affected.

IN synthetic tests Note 3 Neo looks quite ordinary and greatly inferior to the original apparatus.

Camera

The usual 8 megapixel camera with autofocus. It is characteristic of the previous generation of devices, is not bad, but it does not cause delight. Let me remind you that in Note 3 there is a 13 megapixel camera, which has a number of serious improvements - it is able to issue better quality photos. However, you can appreciate the quality of shooting and video (FullHD, 30 frames per second).

Note 3 software features

In this aspect, the model is completely identical to Note 3, so I will not send you to the review, but simply share information below.

Impression

The quality of communication does not cause any complaints, it is typically for products from Samsung - a good, loud speaker during a conversation, an excellent call and medium-sized vibration.

The cost of the device is 24,990 rubles (LTE version), the usual apparatus is worth a bit cheaper. Considering that this or comparable money, you can buy the original Note 3 (not in the LTE version, that is also on exynos), then the problem of choice is missing - it is worth staying on Note 3. He has a number of indisputable advantages - a 13 megapixel camera, The presence of 32 GB of integrated memory, 3 GB of RAM, large diagonal and screen resolution, and the quality itself. About the same body size. Let me remind you that Note 3 can, and it is quite fair, to consider the best phable from those that are present on the market is an uncompromising solution. At the same time, Galaxy Note 3 Neo does not represent interest, this is a clearly niche product, which no one bets, does not particularly attract attention to it. He will have enough modest sales. Also, it will not be superfluous that in contrast to Note 3, there is no such number of free subscriptions and programs that you can like. The device has no bonuses from the box. As a short verdict - in Russia, I would not consider this model to purchase, because Note 3 surpasses it in almost the same cost (and the version of the megaphone and at a lesser price).

Fablet Galaxy Note 3 Neo is a simplified version of Note 3, which makes it cheaper and more affordable to a greater circle of buyers. In this gadget, the functionality and productivity is cut off, but it is still powerful and multitasking. The main difference from the older brother is a smaller resolution screen and an 8 megapixel camera.

(Banner_Model_Full)

In tests on the autonomous work, he showed himself from the best side. In the web surf mode, the machine will be able to live more than 10 hours, and in the video playback mode 12 hours.

In Samsung Galaxy Nut 3 neo present 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, which saves processor resources and get a high-quality picture. For wireless control, there is an IR port, Bluetooth, NFC and Wi-Fi. And for users of the navigation, two modules are provided here: GPS and GLONASS.

Because of these trimmed characteristics, the price for Galaxy Note 3 Neo is significantly accumulated - almost 5.000 rubles.

The main camera is capable of making pictures in the resolution of 3264 x 2448, and the backlight sensor allows you to get high-quality pictures in the dark. You can shoot videos in permit full HD (30 frames \\ s). Unfortunately, engineers did not add protection against moisture and dust.

Specific absorption coefficient (SAR)

The SAR level indicates the number of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body during using the mobile device.

SAR level For the head (EU) SAR level indicates maximum amount electromagnetic radiationwhich is exposed to the human body if you hold a mobile device next to the ear in the negotiation position. In Europe, the maximum allowable SAR value for mobile devices is limited to 2 W / kg per 10 grams of human tissue. This standard is established by the Cenelec Committee in accordance with IEC standards, subject to ICNIRP instructions from 1998.	0.536 W / kg (Watt per kilogram)
SAR level for body (EU) The SAR level indicates the maximum number of electromagnetic radiation, which is subject to the human body if you keep your mobile device at the thigh level. The maximum allowable SAR value for mobile devices in Europe is 2 W / kg per 10 grams of human tissue. This standard is established by the Cenelec Committee subject to the ICNIRP instructions from 1998 and IEC standards.	0.803 W / kg (Watt per kilogram)
SAR level for head (USA) The SAR level indicates the maximum number of electromagnetic radiation, which is exposed to the human body if you hold the mobile device next to the ear.

Mobile devices in the United States are controlled by CTIA, and FCC spends tests and sets them SAR values.	0.82 W / kg (Watt per kilogram)
Body SAR Level (USA) The SAR level indicates the maximum number of electromagnetic radiation, which is subject to the human body if you keep your mobile device at the thigh level. The highest permissible SAR value in the United States is 1.6 W / kg per gram of human tissue. This value is set by FCC, and CTIA controls the Mobile Device Compliance with this standard.	1.1 W / kg (Watt per kilogram)

It is the successor of the same idea that is laid in smartphones with the "mini" prefix in the title - a simplified version of the popular model at a more attractive price. "Under the knife" in Neo, the same characteristics were usually simplified in "Mini" -Flagmans: Diagonal and Display Resolution, Camera, Memory, Processor. It is worth a novelty cheaper than flagship of dollars for 200 (about 2.5 thousand UAH). How attractive was the device for his money and a lot of left in it from the famous flagship, we will look at this review.

Specifications

Kamaz with gingerbread rolled over and on the street of fan "feathers" ruler, which lacked the support of two SIM cards in the device. In Neo it is. The model on the global market will be available with two processor options: six-core exynos for version with LTE (there will be no such versions) and with a fairly common Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 (1.6 HCC, four Cortex-A7 kernels, Adreno 305 graphics) for versions that will work only in 3G networks. Simplifying performance against the background of a reduced twice screen resolution remains almost unnoticed. For the HD display, there is enough such chipset and 2 GB of RAM, which is equipped with a device to work fairly quickly and withstand bullying games with "heavy" graphics. The results in the benchmarks, of course, do not affect the imagination, but a lively, well-working model clearly demonstrates that "parrots" in the devices above the average level should no longer become the subject of comparison and speculation. As a more affordable camera, the smartphone received an 8-megapixel module without the DUALSHOT function, but with typical pre-installed modes, video recording in FullHD, flash and autofocus. The battery capacity was slightly trimmed - on purely symbolic 100 ma-hours, which is justified by a smaller display diagonal compared to Galaxy Note 3. And the display itself, by the way, according to the characteristics to pain resembles Galaxy Note II - Suler AMOLED, 5.5 ", Resolution 720x1280 Points, support for work in gloves. OS version - the same as in Note 3. The model has exactly the same interface capabilities: Air Command, pre-installed Sketchbook Pro, S Health and a number of other pleasant little things. If you drop towards ambition to have the most sophisticated smartphone in favor of the desire to have a working tool with no excessive, but enough capabilities, it will be just what is in Galaxy Note 3 Neo.

Housing

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo looks just like his flagship predecessor. Well, except that the new dimensional microUSB 3.0 connector is not used here and the volume key is located slightly higher than I would like, and slightly higher than it is in Galaxy Note 3. However, perhaps it seems so only due to the fact that Galaxy Note 3 Neo shorter than flagship Note. While the smartphone was in my hands, I noticed that it was easily learned to be managed with a 5.5-inch model with one hand. Even the high location of the adjustment button is not a problem.

The cover of the case is all the same "leather", and plastic ends are depicted from themselves metal.

In the area under the screen, plastic also acquired a "metallic" texture - it is very similar to the polished metal. The navigation block, the location of the sensors, diodes and cameras also completely repeat those in Galaxy Note 3. Pay attention to the modest thickness of the frames around the display, this is a very valuable property for a 5.5-inch smartphone. The thickness of the housing, by the way, is only 0.3 mm more than the older model.

The smartphone uses slots for Micro SIM cards. To install SIM1, you need to remove the battery, the second card and microSD do not require this.

The pictures below the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo and LG G Pro Lite Dual (both display diagonal is 5.5 inches) and Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 (diagonal 5.5 "). Galaxy Note 3 Neo is thinner, in short, but a little wider G Pro Lite Dual. The hand lies a little better due to the fact that it has a less slippery case, and the texture of the case, and the material allow the model longer to maintain a commodity appearance. However, both models even in a joke can not be called competitors: the abyss in performance, the quality of the display, the camera and the main thing - the possibilities of the stylus and the price determine them in completely different market segments.

In general, because the size of the hull slightly decreased, and the location of the buttons familiar to the Android-smartphone and the details did not change for the Android-smartphone, it can be said that, compared with the older model, Galaxy Note 3 NEO has improved ergonomics. Well, purely symbolically improved, because Galaxy Note 3 is very good for its segment.

Screen

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Although received the screen easier than the older model, it still practically can not be criticized and pleasant in work. Our semple did not hit the imagination brightness, but the behavior in the sun was definitely pleased. Of course, in Temple Run on a clear day on the street, it is not very nice, but read, write messages, search for the necessary contacts and other information can not be hiding in a saving shadow. The most bright displays today have flagship smartphones HTC.

Screen calibration is quite typical for mid-level smartphones: the color temperature is colder than 2000k, the amount of blue exceeds the standard. But, which is characteristic of Super AMOLED displays, which uses Samsung in senior models, color coverage is approaching Adobe RGB space. By the way, an item with color modes has disappeared from the settings menu. Whether simplified for a simplified model, whether it turned out that it was not interesting to users.

Autonomy

My standard smartphone use scenario is an hour three-four on listening to music during training and on the road, a small number of calls, about an hour of games on average, although this value can range from 0 to 2 hours, reading news from the morning and before bedtime, It is possible to view the series series somewhere in the interval, WhatsApp, Skype, Hangouts, from time to time, two accounts (although the computer is still preferable for mail). In this mode, the smartphone is holding around one and a half days, albeit two days if you discard the games and the test chamber, and cut a little chatter in Skype, it's not a problem for him. Below, I give the result of the autonomy of Antutu (all that more than 500 points - already a decent result, under 700 points - a great figure for a modern smartphone).

Performance, interface

In all sorts of benchmarks Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo, not a star, but a confident territory. However, he is subject to both beautiful graphics (this is evidenced by the result in Epic Citadel and drawing beauty in Temple Run 2 on maximum settings Without a stick, and playing video files, weighing several GBs), and a smooth interface (remind you, Touchwiz will hear the more incinerate), and work with the package of pre-installed and set up applications (pay attention to the number of applications on the interface screenshots). I tried to maximize the device work, and to the honor of Galaxy Note 3 Neo, the smartphone coped with everything on "excellent."

The smartphone interface is completely repeated in Galaxy Note 3. Details about the features of the S PEN stylus and in general about the Note 3 interface, you can read and look at this video. Briefly remind you that the important feature of the new version of the interface for the Note Smartphone and Tablets family has become more convenient operation with information thanks to the functions of the Air Command: active note, quick access to the search, the "album for clipping", "screen screens" (allows you to quickly proceed Screenshot) and "Cut Fragment" (allows you to quickly call useful applications). S Health in this smartphone differs from this and in Galaxy S4, and in Galaxy S5. In the last embodiment, this application liked me more, but it is not a problem at all. Some functions in Note 3 Neo still hit "under the knife": knox, designed to protect correspondence, contacts, images, and other user secret data and color settings, which does not matter at all.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is equipped with an 8-megapixel camera with an outbreak, autofocus, FullHD video recording. Quality is quite typical for cameras sAMSUNG smartphones With such a resolution, but not in flagship models. It is better than the average for the market, but it seemed to me that the same Galaxy Grand 2 camera is inferior, though, perhaps, Grand 2 is more lucky with the weather. Note 3 Neo landscapes are obtained slightly cooked when shooting on a clear day, but in its second half. In weak lighting, the camera experiences problems with focusing on objects near, but still demonstrates a good result. But pictures are obtained juicy, well detailed (if the lighting and distance is lucky), the color of the smartphone does not pass. It is worth noting that the shooting process is very quickly, and the camera's menu is remarkable simple and rich settings. IN fast access There are several modes, the camera recognizes voice controlAllows you to view the effects of filters before shooting, and makes it possible to take photos during a video recording. Examples of photos made by Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo can be seen below or in a separate gallery at the torch in the original resolution.

Competitors and neighbors on the line

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo in the manufacturer's lineup is placed exactly between the flagship Note 3 of 2013 and the non-flagship Note II 2012. It is cheaper than $ 1 for about $ 200 (2400 UAH) and more expensive than a second - by $ 100 (1200 UAH). At the same time, between Note, two generations lies almost the abyss of the possibilities, therefore, subject to the commitment of this line of devices, I would recommend a dreaming money on Note 2 Neo (or wait until it fell), because the difference in the current course exceeds 1000 UAH. In Galaxy Note 3 Neo, the S Pen stylus has a lot of useful features, the appearance and plastic of the housing is significantly superior to the predecessor, and the performance is more relevant. It is also important that this is the only Note with the support of two SIM cards. If you expected to see such a solution in the top model, and now we are worried about whether the Neo is enough, then throw it. The most noticeable for the user will be a slightly less high-quality camera, and that, she adequately copes with shooting at night and in bad lighting, and this is already excellent. In fact, Galaxy Note 3 Neo is very good, although it looks far away on paper, as his senior colleague. Among smartphones with the stylus of other manufacturers of direct competitors, Galaxy Note 3 Neo has no.

If you are looking for a smartphone with a diagonal of more than 5 inches with a decent performance and support of two SIM cards, while the possibilities of S Pen consider unnecessary, you can consider the Galaxy Grand 2. Candidate to consider the model Galaxy Grand 2. In the smartphone segment with a large medium-level diagonal, it has proven ourselves are best, and it costs almost 2 times cheaper.

In the dry residue

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is a fairly successful solution for those users who are not ready to spend just over 700 dollars on a wonderful smartphone Galaxy Note 3, the main attraction of which is s Pen, or those who waited for this miracle in feathers with the support of two SIM cards. The strong parties of the model is enough high performance, the presence of two slots for the SIM card, the successful design of the back cover of the case and, of course, the Air Command functions. A simplified camera, a reduced display resolution and a look-only processor in fact, not bad, they are not flagship, yes, but their quality adequate user will be quite satisfied. According to the result, the main reason is not to buy the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, I would call the price again, which is definitely good at the world level, but in our country because of the collapsed course of the national currency began to bite again.

3 Reasons to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo:

• features Galaxy Note 3 at a more attractive price;
• sufficient performance for active use of a smartphone, excellent autonomy;
• support for two SIM cards;
