Today, we Life F1 Will review the smartphone. This smartphone Lenovo’s 5 Note And Moto G4 ,Review) Launched with the intention of competing. In the launch event, we liked this phone in a little styler. Today, we will know if the price of the phone is reasonable?
Life F1 Design and Texture
Life F1 is made of plastic and due to this it feels very light in hand. Despite having a plastic body, the overall finish and fit of the phone is good. There is no flax or cracking when pressing the body, but still the material could be improved further. The look of the phone is simple and the texture on the rear makes it a little beautiful. Life F1 is a thin phone and its thickness is 7.9 millimeters.
This phone has a 5.5 inch full HD screen and brightness is good. Text also looks sharp. Color reproduction is also good and also has Corning Gorilla Glass for safety. The phone has a power and Vallyam button on the right side. The phone has two SIM card slots and a separate microSD card (up to 128 GB) slot. At the top is a headphone jack and a micro-USB port at the bottom.
The rear has a camera module at the top and a speaker at the bottom. It is disappointing to have no fingerprint sensor in the phone. In the box, you will find an in-age headset, a power adapter, a long USB cable and a SIM Ejector Tool.
The design of Life F1 is well and can be used easily. The rear of the phone gives a good grip. Due to its display, it is also easy to use the phone with one hand. Apart from this, the camera is not even embossed on the rear.
Life F1 Specification and Feature
Life F1 has an octa-core Snapdragon processor. The phone has 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage is given. Apart from this, the phone has connectivity features like Wi-Fi B/G/N, Bluetooth 4.1, USB OTG, GPS, FM Radio and 4G VoLTE. Apart from this, F1 also has some sensors like gyroscope.
The phone stocks on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and because of this things look good. Reliance has given the Jio app suit in this phone, including Jio Money, Jio Play etc. To use these apps, an account is required or if you are using Jio SIM then you can leave this process. Because of life care, you can manage the service center, call a helpline and live service around you.
Shortcuts up to 15 apps can be made through smart tray apps and can drag them from the bottom on the screen. The app named Smart Ring sets the volume of incoming calls on the basis of mute, or ambient sound. In our experience, its rating was a hit-or-mise. You can play two videos simultaneously in the video player. But we feel that there was no need for such features.
You can pose video from smart play while you are not watching on screen. For this, the app tracks the head more than your eyes, which means that if you lift the head up while watching the video, then this video will be asked to pose. Apart from this, other preloaded apps like beautyPlus Me, Yatra and Amazon are also present.
Life F1 supports RCS or Rich Communication Service on Jio Network. This is an official GSM Association program that increases messages, voice and video call features and multimedia content, contact etc. can be shared only during the call. Right now Jio Network is the only network in India to give this feature to this feature. But soon this feature can be offered by operator across the country.
Life F1 Performance
The normal performance of the phone is good and we did not have any major problems during our review. The main specification of the phone and Marshmallow UI ensures that performance and multitasking are good. The good thing is that the phone is not too hot than necessary, but it is slightly hot while using the camera for a long time or playing games. Games like Easflt 8 in the phone are easily provided without any problem. The phone found fine figures in the benchmarking test.
Media playback experience in Life F1 is also good. Videos of up to 1080 pixels are easily played in the phone. When kept in the superficial place, the speaker is very fast, but if not kept in the superficial place, the voice looks weak. The audio quality of the headset coming with the phone also comes well.
Talking about the camera, F1 has a 16 megapixel rear camera with PDAF while the front camera is 8 megapixels which supports autofocus. In the light of the day, pictures come with detailing and good color, although the detailing taken from a distance is low. Autofocus occurs rapidly. The front camera also brings a good selfie.
However, color noise can be seen in the photographs taken in low light, especially in low light places. Quality is also not very good with flash. The front camera works better in such circumstances. The focus speed slows down in low light, making selfies a little difficult.
The camera app is easy to use and we liked its interface. There is no professional mode in the camera app but you can adjust IS, exposure and white balance by going to the setting. The app also has some advanced shooting options such as multiple shots, refocus, croma flash, opy zoom and low light photos. In addition to Croma flash, it is difficult to differentiate the photographs taken in different mode. On taking a picture with Refocus mode, you will get the option to choose different focus points but there is no change in reality.
A maximum of 1080 pixels can be recorded with the camera and quality is also much better in daylight. Video stabilization feature helps a lot.
The 3200 mAh battery lasted 10 hours 57 minutes in our HD video loop test, which is good. During regular use, we were able to easily run the phone for more than a day. The battery is rapidly charged and the phone is charged up to 45 percent within an hour.
Our decision
We think Life F1 is a great option at a price of Rs 13,999. This phone is available at Reliance Digital Store with some good offers and freebes. Apart from this, you can also get an additional warranty of one year by signup on the lifecare app in the phone. According to us, plastic body, average camera performance and lack of fingerprint sensor are its flaws.
Except for these flaws, the performance of Life F1 is good. It provides free display, good CPU power, long battery life, Near-stock Android and Jio service till 31 March.
If you are thinking of buying Jio or switching on this network and you do not have a 4G smartphone, then Life F1 can be a good option.
