Orange Neva jet smartphone review with key features

The European company Orange is one of the scandalous and controversial ones. It has been on the market for over twenty years and in November 2019 tried to make an attempt to gain attention by releasing - Orange Neva jet 5G.

The company is known more in the telecommunications environment, but one cannot ignore the novelties of the past fall. Whether there is something unique about it and whether it will be able to qualify to get into the rating of quality gadgets, we will find out below.

Orange brand

The brand has a long, complicated and multi-stage history. It arose in 1994 during the acquisition of a controlling stake in Microtel by Hutchison Whampoa. This was followed by the rebranding required for the company, and Microtel became Orange PCS Ltd. But the company was waiting for a new stage, which it entered in 1999, becoming a subsidiary of the German concern Mannesmann. One of the main competitors of this concern, Vodafone, decided to take over and bought out the enterprise for a decent amount, deciding to sell Orange. And the very next year, more precisely in 2000, the company was acquired by France Telecom, one of the largest telecommunication companies in France, which in 2013 was renamed Orange.

We will not discuss with you all the financial problems of the company, how the leaders changed, what scandals were, this is long and not entirely exciting.

The release of mobile gadgets began in 2003, it is difficult to say that they somehow stand out from others.

Let's take a closer look at the Neva jet 5G.

Orange Neva jet 5G review

Strange as it may seem, there is very little information about the new product, and the review is unlikely to be succinct and detailed. But still we will try to highlight the main characteristics and, at least on the basis of previous releases of popular models of other brands, draw some conclusions.

The Orange Neva jet 5G model was announced in November, the novelty reminded many of the ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G. However, for the price, the second contender is more pleasant.

The novelty promises to impress with the size of the screen and the quality of photos. But first things first.

Equipment

This is one of the permanent sections, where rarely, something new and unexpected appears, despite the popularity of the models. This time, you only have to guess what manufacturers can put in the kit.

Therefore, if schematically, then it should be like this:

• the body of a mobile gadget;
• charger - 18W;
• an adapter with a USB Type C connector with a standard length-wise cord;
• a small paper clip to comfortably open the SIM card slot;
• Smartphone manual.

Perhaps there will be something else in the kit, we'll find out about this when more information becomes available.

Design

The body is made of high quality glass, respectively, the front and rear panels will delight with their light refractions. The frame is made of aluminum.

The device was released only in blue, which has been at the peak of popularity not only in the field of mobile gadgets for a single season.

The dimensions are as follows:

• length - 159.2 mm;
• width - 73.4 mm;
• thickness - 7.9 mm;
• weight - 171 gr.

Based on the data, it should lie comfortably in your hand, but at the same time it will feel like you are holding a smartphone, and not a child's toy.

Screen

This is one of the tempting advantages of this model - the screen size.

The diagonal is 6.47 inches, where the aspect ratio is 19.5: 9.That is, to watch a video, to search for information and study all the functions of the device, all this will be quite comfortable for the user.

The Full HD + display is a good indicator. The screen is made with AMOLED technology, i.e. organic light-emitting diodes were used. The color depth is 16 megapixels or, in other words, TrueColor - 24 bit. It is this number of colors that the human eye can distinguish. Also, 1 inch has 398 ppi in terms of pixel density.

The working surface of the screen is - 87.9%.

Based on the indicators, we can say that the color rendition should be at a good level with good viewing angles. Thus, we get a device with which you can work in the sun and just enjoy 1 episode of your favorite TV series during your break.

Filling

Will the operating system surprise you? Not. Here is the well-known and beloved by many Android 9.0 (Pie) in the MiFavor 9.1 shell.

Chipset manufacturers supplied Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855 (7 nm). The processor here is 8-core, which is not surprising for a long time: 1 core x 2.84 GHz Kryo 485, 3 cores x 2.42 GHz Kryo 485, and 4 cores x 1.78 GHz Kryo 485. The video processor was installed by Adreno 640.

As elsewhere, the memory in this gadget is divided into built-in permanent and operational. It depends on the volume of the first one how many photos, videos, applications and games we can store in our gadget. The second is responsible for the speed of the smartphone.

In Orange Neva jet 5G, the RAM is 6 GB, the built-in one is 128 GB. Thanks to the memory card slot, you can expand the memory by a maximum of 1 terabyte.

The amount of RAM is suitable for games, possibly for active games. The gadget should be nimble and moderately productive.

Autonomy

The battery here is of the lithium-ion type. Manufacturers choose this type, because with the minimum size, the maximum amount of energy can be accommodated. This is very important in the era of "thin" gadgets. Also, these batteries have no "memory" and you can safely charge them to 60% or 20%.

The rechargeable battery is non-removable, which makes the case more durable, although you cannot change it yourself.

The battery capacity is 4000 mAh, which is a good indicator. There is support for fast charging using Quick Charge 4+ technology. It is also possible to charge the gadget thanks to the wireless charger.

Summing up, we can say that the battery capacity is another plus of the new items of the last autumn month.

Camera

Equipped the gadget with a three-module camera: the main wide-angle camera - 48 Mp - f / 1.7, works on the BSI CMOS matrix, that is, the sensor receives more light and the quality of the images becomes higher; the second module or telephoto lens - 8 Mp - f / 2.4, there is a 3x zoom; third ultra-wide-angle module - 20 MP - f / 2.2

The Neva jet 5G is equipped with PDAF phase detection autofocus, so shots in daylight and shots of fast subjects are good. But, at night, in order to achieve clarity and sharpness, you will have to try very hard.

The front camera is located on the front panel in a cutout called monobrow and its parameters are as follows: 20 Mp - f / 2.0.

We hope that we have found answers to questions like “How does a smartphone take pictures? How does he take pictures at night? " There is no way to attach a sample photo yet, you just have to wait.

Communications

Not the most innovative section, but, nevertheless, the hero of the review has GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB.

The device supports the Russian Glonass system, which works almost on the same level with GPS, with a 2.8 m mark. There is information that a Chinese satellite navigation system - BeiDou-2 is also installed, the principle of operation is the same as that of GPS. But how much time will tell.

The new Orange model supports NFC technology, which will be a definite plus for those who like contactless payments.

Unlocking the gadget can be done using a fingerprint scanner located on the front panel.

The only drawback is, perhaps, the lack of an audio jack (3.5 mm) and a radio.

Price policy

How much does such an interesting model cost? This is where we come across the difference between Chinese and European gadgets. The average price, if you can call it that, starts from 900 EUR and this is for Europe.

The novelty is quite interesting, but with so many gadgets on the market from Chinese brands, ranging from budget, inexpensive and ending with flagship models, how much the price is justified is up to you.

Someone may ask the question “Where is it profitable to buy a device?”, Perhaps on trading floors during the New Year's season.

Specifications

In order for you to form some opinion about the Neva jet 5G, we will place important indicators in a small table.

It is impossible not to notice that the gadget is of interest with its filling.
