The company presented to the Russian market a device of the middle price category, made in three versions: stylus +, stylus, stylus a. The gadget is focused on sharing with a device for navigating the display, which, according to the developers, provides more ease of use than with a keyboard typical for a sensor.

The gadget with a stylus-pen attracted the interest of a large number of consumers. Indeed, with all the improved qualities and characteristics, the device has an inexpensive price in comparison with analogues of well-known manufacturers. The device is based on the std-810 G standard, which allows the smartphone not to be afraid of shocks and high temperatures. The gadget looks very strict and solid, has a metal edge and a plastic back panel. And as soon as you take out the stylus-pen, a wide window for notes immediately opens on the display.

In the processor, two standalone quad-core sets are combined by a chip to improve the efficiency of the smartphone. Depending on the task, the solution is transferred to the most appropriate cell of the processor cores.

If both cameras work in pairs, then the overall value of the main shooting parameter is wider, and in a second of time more light enters through the lenses onto the sensors. High-speed autofocus (about 0.1 seconds) also owes the duo to the camera, measuring depth of field more accurately. The picture quality improves even in low-light environments. The quality of the photos certainly does not amaze the user's imagination, but the stylus has a much wider range of colors and less noise than similar analogs. High-speed focusing on moving subjects is 22% faster than standard, and the "portrait" option will take selfies even with the bokeh effect. A rear camera with active focusing on moving objects will allow you to capture the fastest moment of movement.
