Irbis SP551 - Technical characteristics. Information about the make, model, and alternative names of the specific device, if available.

Sometimes people find it very difficult to choose a smartphone. The main difficulty is that many of them simply do not know the characteristics and turn solely to price. But even within the same price category there are a variety of models. Below are a few reasons why you should pay attention to the Irbis SP551.

Appearance and body

The screen here occupies only 70 percent of the front surface. There is not even a hint of framelessness. And we are not talking about a wide format. The display is covered with 2.5D glass, and underneath there are three touch buttons for navigation. On top, of course, is the front camera and proximity scanner. The back panel looks very controversial. This does not apply to the camera and fingerprint scanner. The problem is the large number of brand logos promoting this project. We managed to count three pieces, including the manufacturer. The case itself is made of metal and has standard dimensions for a smartphone: 77 x 153.5 x 8.3. It weighs a little more than usual: 186 grams. But this does not prevent you from holding the device in your hand with a sufficient level of comfort. There is only one color: silver.

Display

The screen has an aspect ratio of 16 by 9 and a diagonal of 5.5 inches. The good news is that the developers did not reduce the resolution, leaving FullHD. Thanks to this, the picture looks holistic and rich. Viewing angles are not affected either. Thanks to the airless layer.

Camera

Unlike fashion trends, there is only one main camera. It is designed for 13 megapixels. We can say that this resolution will be enough for good shots during the day. The front camera is a little simpler: 8 megapixels. But it also leaves extremely positive emotions. It's no surprise that video recording is done in 1080p resolution. A smartphone like this doesn’t require anything more.

Performance

The device is powered by a 4-core MediaTek MT6737T processor. Frankly speaking, this is weak hardware, although it copes with all everyday tasks. Problems begin in games, where the chipset is helped by the Mali-T720 MP2 video accelerator. The situation is not dire, but it’s hard to call it pleasant either, when the frame rate per second constantly drops in powerful games. The amount of RAM is 2 gigabytes, and the built-in memory is 16. There is little free space, but there is a slot for a MicroSD card. So the problem can be considered solved.

Battery

The smartphone does not shine with autonomy, but the 3100 mAh battery looks pretty decent. He will live peacefully until evening. And then it’s time to charge.

Other

Not all LTE bands received support, but the developer decided to give his model a USB Type-C connector.

Irbis SP551 is not like the company's other ultra-budget models. It is not at all embarrassing, it has the basic set of functions, albeit in a slightly trimmed version.

Irbis SP56 runs an operating system Android 5.1. Its performance is rated 3 out of 5 (in its segment). This smartphone is quite productive. Here you can find the characteristics of the device, instructions on how to reset the settings, flash the device and, of course, how to get root rights to Yrbis

Irbis SP56 review

A good budget smartphone with support in Russia, but this support is very tight, and at the office. The site does not have 75% of firmware for smartphones; it cannot be found even by S/N. In general, a devil-may-care attitude. As for the hardware basis, it allows you to run games at low and sometimes medium settings. Unfortunately, Android 5.1 is already outdated, I would like to at least update to 6.0, because 8.0 Oreo will be released soon. The camera is standard, no worse or better than other analogues. It photographs the text normally, of course, the detailing is a little lame. The battery capacity is quite ok, it will last until the end of the day. But the amount of RAM, which is only 1 GB, is a mess by the standards of 2017.

Level 1 cache (L1) Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster than both system memory and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.	32 kB + 32 kB (kilobytes)
Level 2 cache (L2) L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory.	512 kB (kilobytes) 0.5 MB (megabytes)
