It got us to the test flagship model: the smartphone from Haier - W867. See if there any chance this device to repeat the success of his fellow field of home appliances.
The device comes in a neat package, made of white cardboard. Framed it is not flashy, but it is very informative: located on the top of the model name, embossed in silver on the ends - the main characteristics with icons, as well as technical specifications. All clear at first sight. Inside the terminal itself, without battery, so do not rush it right to include. Below - box with cover-lid with magnetic latch, which is mounted on the rear panel. Surprising that this accessory comes with the smartphone, which is positioned as the flagship. The cost of such accessories for models from well-known brands can be up to half the price of Haier W867 . Interesting and constructive of this case. Lid covering the front surface, not just attached to the rear panel. The fact that the second part of the leather is glued to the new folder, the back of the terminal. Although such a structure and increases the size of a smartphone, hardly anyone refuse to use such a gift. In a box with compartments under the cover settled: charger, cable microUSB - USB for charging and data transfer. There are headphones made in retro design, often referred to as the "pill". Their quality does not correspond to the audio capabilities of the device, but do not forget that Haier W867 can act as an FM radio receiver, but if you connect an external antenna. So that the headset can be safely used for this purpose. If necessary, you can always pick up the headphones separately. Nearby are sealed removable battery and documentation manual.

At the bottom - the brand name and the lattice dynamics of the ring, made in the form of a pattern with an Asian touch. Located right at the end on / off button on the opposite side - the volume rocker. A small hole in the edge - a place where the microphone is located Elementary. Beside him barely noticeable gap in the cover, in order to be able to pick up the lid. This operation is necessary, first, to set the batteries, and secondly, both slots for SIM cards and memory cards microSD located under the cover. She sits back like a glove, and in general it is worth noting good performance of the case. Carefully matched in all, do not play and does not creak.
The screen size is 5.5 inches, which allows it to include the class fabletov. The screen is made by technology IPS, which provides good color and decent viewing angles. Currently IPS screen - a kind of must have for any leader. Especially with such a diagonal viewing angles when the question gets sharper. Resolution is 960 x 540, which is quite modest for such a screen diagonal. However, thanks to the technology used, images and text look quite readable and contrasting elements of Internet pages, video and photo information is not falling apart in the pixelated "mush." We viewed several Full HD Trailer, as well as use the smartphone as an Internet terminal and played as a simple and three-dimensional games - especially the complaints we had nothing.

In general, we would like to note that the main tasks smartphone works fine, we have not noticed podlagivany and brakes when working interface and applications. Smartphone is lost quietly Full HD videos and passed difficult tests. Heated rear cover slightly more than usual, but at least it was not accompanied by unpleasant odors heated plastic and errors in operation.
The smartphone runs Android 4.2.2, which is possible due to the use of MTK chipset. Information about updates to more advanced versions have been found. Once removed from the firmware and software added to the minimum set of applications Yandex ("maps", "navigation", "Mail", "Weather").
