Design and texture
Cinemax 3 due to excessive emerged edges on the rear cover when viewed at first OB Worldphone SF1 ,ReviewGave a glimpse of). The design of the phone is fine, although it is difficult to realize when it is equipped with the rear sandstone texture when looking at the phone. Texture causes the phone grip and does not have fingers.
The protruding frame of the phone is good for beauty but it causes trouble when applying the device to charging. The USB port is also installed in such a way that the connection breaks only when a little moved. The USB cable coming with the phone is definitely a little long but it does not work well. And we had to face a disconnection several times while copying the file from the device. Apart from this, if the cable that comes together is lost, then you will have no option to charge the phone. Because it is a very difficult task to remove the rear cover of the phone and charge it with another cable.
The phone has a non-basic capacitive button at the front and a speaker grill on the rear. The display is also not better than before. The phone has a 5.5 inch display panel of 480×854 pixels resolution. The screen of the screen is 162 PPI. The viewing angle and color reproduction are also quite poor. The phone has neither an ambient light sensor nor a notification LED.
The battery given in the phone is removable and two SIM slots and a different microSD card slot (32 GB) can be seen on removing the rear cover. In the box you will find a case for a charger, data cable, headset, screen protector and phone. Given the price, the quality of accessory coming with the phone can be said to be right.
Specification and feature
The Zen Cinemax 3 has a 1.3 GHz quad-core Spredatrum SC 7731 processor. This phone has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. The performance of this phone was largely like Micromax Unite 4 Pro which is not very good. The benchmark figures of the phone were also not good.
This phone does not come with 4G support which can be a problem for many people. Apart from this, the phone has connectivity features like Wi-Fi B/G/N, Bluetooth, GPS and FM radio. This phone does not support USB OTG. Cinemax 3 has an accelerometer and a proximity sensor.
Talk about software, Cinemax 3 runs on the Near-Stock version of Android 5.1 Lollipop. Zen has given some customizations in the phone in the phone that you can watch news snipites and also play pajel games. Apps like Ultra Zone Store, news streaming, TV shows and movies for buying video clips, Zen Care for Finding Service Center and Zen Store for Wallpaper, Music etc. have been given.
Most of Zen’s apps are very few links to the website. Apart from this, many spam apps and trial games are also pre-loaded in the phone. The good thing is that you can uninstall Google Play Museuk, Play Movie etc. along with all these apps and uninstall through ‘delete application’. Apart from this, the phone also has an SOS feature so that you can send an emergency message to select contacts by pressing the power button five consecutive times.
Performance
The design of Zen Cinemax 3 is not good. It is quite large and due to its very bulging edge, it does not fit easily in the pocket. The phone run easily most of the time and we did not have the problem of warmth during the review in the phone. The call quality of the phone is good but it cannot be called fantastic. The phone does not have 4G support, so you have to work with 3G. Screen touch response is not very good.
When you are browsing through homescreen, Android works properly but there is a problem during multitasking and loading apps. The website in Chrome opens slowly and is difficult to scroll. Simple games can be played in the phone with ashne, but if you want to play games like Esfalt or Altose Adventure, it will not be possible in this phone.
The phone has full HD video plays but it is not fun to watch and this is due to the poor quality of the display. The sound coming from the speaker is quite loud for the upcoming notification.
The Cinemax 3 has a 5 -megapixel rear camera, which makes the closeup shot good. Landscape photos taken from the phone are very bad. The focus in the phone is very slow. Actually, due to the deterioration of the display, it becomes very difficult to say whether the picture you are taking is good or bad. Talk about selfie, the front camera is also not good.
The camera app given in the phone is Stock Google Camera App in which you will get Panorama, HDR and some other options. Apart from this, nothing is special.
The phone has a 2900 mAh battery which lasted for 9 hours 46 minutes in our video loop test. This can be called good. During normal using, we were able to run the phone for a day on full charge once.
Our decision
Looking at the market’s existing trade, we feel that the company could make Cinemax 3 better. Instead, the company launched the phone with some upgrade in last year’s phone, which is not enough. 4G LTE is the highest demanding feature in the market, so it is useless to buy a new smartphone without 4G support. One reason is enough for not buying this smartphone.
Apart from this, the display is not good, the performance is weak and the camera is also ordinary. The design of the phone also cannot be said to be very good because of the USB port.
With better specification and feature in this price in the market Carbon Quattro L50 HD Other smartphones are present. Despite the price cut, we would recommend not buying Zen Cinemax 3 smartphone.
