Equipment
Package Micromax Q413 very compact, and black, and reduces its size. The more places it turned out to be enough for all the required and optional nice bonus in the form of proprietary protective film on the touch screen, which manufacturers low-cost smartphones in the majority of cases sell separately.vmeste with the film we have discovered: the charger is 700 mA, data cable, wired earphone plugs and waste paper in the face of the warranty card and instructions manual. Looking ahead, we note that the charger I would like at least 1 amp. About instructions: it is not useful to those who already had experience with smartphones based on Android, but those who with this platform is not yet familiar, it is also not necessary: it was found only information about the device and how to properly install the card and the battery.

Appearance
Smartphone Micromax Q413 made in a combination of dark blue and black with side inserts “under the metal”, and black here, only the front panel, while its bezels, the upper and lower ends and rear removable panel is already dark blue. The case is plastic, which explains its light weight. The back cover is very thin, so be extremely careful removing it – easy to bend or even break. Note that it rests fairly securely, but only half of the fasteners, the second otsenivaetsya without effort.
All interface connectors are here placed on the upper face: here are the microUSB for charging and 3.5 mm headphone Jack. The microphone remained in splendid isolation on the bottom and right of the display manufacturer placed a block hardware buttons – power key and the volume rocker, made in the same style with the design side face. To the left of the display there is nothing. The front panel carries a traditional set of elements: at the center is a screen with a fairly wide side frames above it are visible to the camera (without a flash), voice speaker, and sensors of approximation and illuminance.
Under the display you can see three separate touch-sensitive buttons that are standard for modern Android smartphones. They are not related to the display and, therefore, does not occupy space on it, and this is extremely important for ergonomics. The back panel is decorated quite traditional: on top of the main camera is deliberately oversized for added style and single led flash right below it. The main speaker is located at the bottom of the cover.
Ergonomics
Smartphone Micromax Q413 not very confident in the hand – light weight and smooth the panel with the same side ends do not contribute to the reliable grip, candy bar regularly tries to slip out. Also note that he soiled: the screen is quickly covered with traces of hands, and the removable cover is also dirty, though not as actively. To clean the display from fingerprints if no protective film included is not easy, so get a soft cloth for cleaning glasses and carry it around – and the smartphone will be clean and the display is not scratched.
The width of the optimal smartphone for hands medium and large sizes – if you adapt, you can control it with one thumb right or left hand. This applies to buttons, hardware and touch: the distance between them is verified, and accidentally miss one of them will not work. However, the touch buttons are not illuminated in the dark, so will have to find them by touch. Next, insert the SIM card and microSD storage is not possible without pulling the battery. The battery itself is held firmly and is additionally protected by the back cover.
Screen
Oh, the screen is one of the main advantages of Micromax Q413. It uses a matrix IPS, which means they don’t have to think about angles, because they are 178 degrees both vertically and horizontally. Display generally does not fade as we would have done it anyway – the richness of images is always very high. The brightness is adjustable within a wide range.
Sun Micromax Q413 behaves confidently: at about 60% brightness to it already returns the readability, but prior to that, he is a high-tech mirror that film without her. By the way, girls will fully appreciate it, because you can always fix your makeup or your hair, rummaging through her purse in search of a mirror. However, the smartphone is also probably going to have to look, but it already nuances.
In the test for multi-touch screen smartphone has shown the ability to react to two simultaneous touches. Gloves to touch him useless, except in special, with magnetized fingertips. Touch sensor layer processes instantly, without delay.
Sound
The main speaker of the smartphone and then closes hand and it does not matter in which mode – portrait or landscape. But it is very loud incoming call can be passed only under very strong external noise or loud music in the car. Power vibratoria slightly above average: in jeans, he felt, but in her purse anymore.
To earpiece issues have arisen: loud, clear sound and no wheezing, but the microphone is not pleased: the interviewee complained about the slightly muffled sound as if the microphone is covered with. Might help the engineering menu, but hardly anyone will undertake such fine-tuning. Complete sets seemed to be extremely comfortable: the ear cups are very soft and stick in the ears, the microphone button is placed at the correct distance from the headphones and overall audio quality we like in a player, and during conversations.
Work offline
Officially standard battery capacity of 2000 mAh battery of the smartphone lasts up to 200 hours standby or 4.5 hours of talking. In our case calibration battery Micromax Q413 lasted 6 hours in the talk mode, but only 150 hours in standby mode. Complete memory 700 mA heals for 100% charge on average for 4 hours, so it will be better to buy a charger for 1 or even 1.5 amps.
We also measured the autonomy of the smartphone in the normal use mode without calibration of the battery. Full discharge occurred in 10 hours, including hour Internet Wi-Fi 30 minutes Internet on 3G and LTE, two hours of calls, two time HD video (not streaming), video games hour and half hour use of cameras and the average brightness of the screen. The remaining time the smartphone was in standby mode, activated with all modules connected.
Separately, we tested the Micromax Q413 mode car Navigator. Cold start has requested a three minute wait, after which it was found six satellites. The battery had nearly two hours in this mode with max backlight. We will add that at the time of writing, the possibility of buying a spare battery for the model no – AKB was not found in the official Micromax store. Therefore, the fact that the battery is removable here, can not be considered as an advantage, it’s just a given.
The camera
Smartphone Micromax Q413, as it turned out, easily replace a regular camera for those who do not see sense to do ordinary photos on a DSLR or micro 4/3. The only thing he is missing is front facing flash, while the bulk, despite the presence within it of just one led, shines like a mini-spotlight. The selfie camera does not like artificial light and distorts the color, but in the daytime ensures a high-quality self-portraits. The main camera, being endowed with auto – and techfocus, and also obviously a very good matrix, in General does not pay attention to the current lighting.
Both cameras in the smartphone work without brake – no delay when the photo or video. Image stabilization, electronic or optical, in this model, because of its budget, is missing.
Software
The monoblock runs on OS Google Android 5.1 Lollipop, not overloaded with a large number. There are no extra interface, only redrawn icons, and the list of preinstalled software includes a number of services of “Yandex”, the office Suite and application from the online store “Bayonne.<url>. If you want it all removed with standard tools, without having to install root-rights.
Performance
The minimum set of staff provides is always free RAM and always wholly responsiveness of the smartphone. But the total RAM is 2GB, well reflected in overall performance Micromax Q413: benchmark AnTuTu, he earned nearly 24,000 points, focusing just on the computing power of the processor and RAM. Similar results cell phone received and in Quadrant Standard: Total number of points made 9103, and the memory and CPU is also very different. The result is a mobile communication tool, is able to keep running a few heavy apps and switch between them in the blink of an eye. The same applies to video games: any title from the range of Google Play hardware capabilities of Micromax Q413 more than enough.
Conclusion
Micromax Q413 is aimed at those who are tired of the boring design of modern budget smartphones, but at the same time doesn’t want to overpay for models a class above. Monoblock catchy appearance and hardware specifications along with a very attractive recommended price. During the test, we have not had any serious claims to it, so Micromax Q413, especially for the money – a definite must have.
