Design and Body
When looking at and holding directly, we admit design looks cool Andromax v3s not smartphones bullion standard. With the size and weight that fits in the hand, making v3s easy to use one-handed. Indeed, overall the material is made of plastic, but due to brushed metal accents on the right and left of the phone adds to the impression of expensive. Especially when the screen is turned on, because the use of OGS so that no gap between the screen and the protective glass, making it more eye candy. In addition to black and white, there are also alternate dark blue color variants.
At the front there is a 2MP front camera, earpiece, proximity sensor and light, LED flash, 5-inch screen and three capacitive Android buttons. The back is filled with an 8MP primary camera, LED flash, mic and speakers just below the logo Innos be manufacturing this phone. For both microSIM and microSD card slot is located behind the battery below the back cover.
The left side of the phone there is the lock / power, while the right side there are volume keys. To the upside there is a microUSB port and headset port and the bottom side filled with a mic.
As referred above, the screen Andromax v3s OGS IPS LCD 5-inch 720p HD resolution. As already illustrated, because the OGS screen display has a wide viewing angle because there is no gap between the glass screen panel. The color quality is also an interesting contrast is seen. With the light sensor, you do not have to bother to adjust screen brightness manually.
interface
4.4.2 KitKat be one other important factor of this phone has to offer. Although the display interface similar to stock but Smartfren provide minor polish that we think they bring us to the Jellybean era. As we explore the performance of the interface feels very fluid smoothly without any stutter less lag. The slider on the lockscreen standard course with three choices as to the direction the camera shortcut, Google Now, and open the screen.
Homescreen contains five pages a place to put the widget, folder or shortcut. Notification window comes with stock Android where there is a toggle setting if you touch a button on the top right. Can also pull down through the two-finger gestures. Drawer apps appear with a solid black background with the standard Android only two main tabs for apps and widgets.
camera
Obviously the camera becomes the main attraction Andromax v3s because this phone has dual camera and dual flash. Front camera into focus for the first time ranks Andromax features LED flash to support activities that are mushrooming selfie today. Unfortunately the resolution is still limited to only 2MP, it would be better if at least 5MP resolution and would be even better if you have the autofocus feature. 8MP rear camera with LED flash and autofocus as well. The camera interface is standard KitKat with a menu setting that looks minimalist but quite complete when it opens its submenu. There are three shooting modes like panorama, standard camera and video recording.
His name for the camera selfie it is no wonder the front camera is equipped with the effect of beauty so that your face will look smoother / beautiful. In this next room mempu cameras produce images that are good, too good outdoors. But for a room with no light at all, the light from the flash is quite helpful, but the results will look bluish. Most likely due to the limitations of this bluish front of the camera sensor.
For behind the camera in the room, minimal noise images look bright and detailed enough it's just a little coloring cool, if less light you can take advantage of the LED flash. For outdoors in the blazing light of the results of the camera looks back less contrasting pale though sharp and detailed.
The rear camera capable of recording 720p HD video up to a resolution that is saved in MP4 format with a size that is not too large. Interface is also similar to a video recording camera is simple, but quite a lot of settings if enter the submenu.
multimedia
Photo and video content can be viewed via the Gallery application. Stock standard Android interface where the default, content thumbnail grouped by folder of which can be modified based on location, time, person, or tags. Standard features, and image processing are available on the Android default.
Music files can be played through the Music with the view that we often see in older versions of Android. As usual Smartfren exploit the advantages of Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset Audio +. a sort of equalizer but with additional bass boost option settings and 3D effects. Sound output via speakers sounded loud and clear enough, though the placement of speakers behind the back cover, but given that the speakers are not muted bulge.
There is also a dedicated application to play video content that has a standard display with the same features when playing through the Gallery. Different sort of shortcut only.
FM radio is available as an alternative entertainment, which are required to plug a headset in advance which serves as the new antenna can enjoy favorite radio station.
browser
Out of the box there are two application browser, Chrome first and second Baidu. But this time Chrome was placed in the homescreen by default. Clearly Chrome is currently the most popular browser, especially on the Android platform with a variety of flagship features and also good integration with other Google services. Delan 5-inch screen and HD resolution of the pages of the desktop version of the website will be displayed and read well even in zoom out condition.

connectivity
Andromax V3S run on two networks, CDMA 2000 1x EVDO Rev A and GSM GPRS. For slot 1 is intended only to be Smartfren internet service, and GSM slot free for any operator. For local connectivity there is WiFi 802. 11 b / g / n, Bluetooth v4.0, A-GPS, microUSB v2.0, and microSD hingga32GB. Because dual SIM, there are settings for use both SIM cards.
Battery Life
The removable battery Andromax capacity of 2500 mAh v3s. If seen the figure is relatively large capacity for specifications and carrying. But in reality the battery last a little better than the standard Android smartphone just 12 hours ++. When we test with a duration of one hour video playback with the condition just connected to WiFi and 50% screen brightness, the battery fell from 100% to 89%. If you fill out the SIM card slot, and is often used for browsing especially 3D gaming, the battery can only last + -6-8 hours.
conclusion
Smartfren Andromax V3S be the first smartphone from the family Andromax serious enough in selfie. We just can say enough because in addition to the LED flash, the front camera itself is still the standard resolution camera like the front (as opposed to some of the vendors have released a mobile phone with 5MP front camera). Perhaps it is also banged on the selling price does not want to set too high. For exact specifications, which carried a standard and a bit behind with new products from competitors, but when we try a quick and seamless performance we do not feel the lag, hang, and so on. The design became one of the important factors also in our opinion because if the user is already in love with the outside view, the specifications are not tinggipun will be considered for purchase.
