Review and testing of the Fly Tornado Slim (IQ4516 Octa) smartphone. Review of Fly Tornado Slim: the thinnest smartphone in the world has arrived in Russia Fly Tornado Slim

Another Android smartphone with a claim to the title of the thinnest in the world

Developers' attempts to create the world's thinnest smartphone do not stop. Moreover, recently this race has become even more intense. The company Gionee has entered the fight against each other’s sister companies Oppo and Vivo, the “thintest” ones - it also has a couple of very thin smartphones. It’s hard to say at what point the Fly brand, well known to Russians, got involved in their struggle and managed to set its world record for thickness, but now it can be considered broken, because the Vivo X5 Max and Oppo R5 announced by sisters Vivo and Oppo have a smaller thickness of 4.75 and 4.85 mm, respectively, which means that both are thinner devices than the record holder of the Fly brand. And yet, the Tornado Slim smartphone, released by Fly, can even now be called the thinnest among commercially available devices (5.15 mm), because its rivals have only just been announced. In addition, they have protruding modules with a camera, so in this regard, Fly Tornado Slim demonstrates more “honest” parameters, because its thickness at each point is absolutely the same, there are no protruding parts at all.

Why, however, all this is needed at all, and why it is necessary to create such thin mobile devices is not entirely clear. After all, it is logical that the space for the battery in such a case will be severely limited, and the physical parameters themselves do not at all contribute to comfortable work with such a device. A camera module of lesser quality simply will not physically fit into such parameters, it will stick out, and you cannot fool the laws of physics. Nevertheless, the laurels of record holders do not give developers rest; their struggle in the field of “fine construction” continues. The next “world’s thinnest smartphone” called Fly Tornado Slim is already on sale in our stores, we’ll talk about its price a little later, but for now let’s look at the design and technical characteristics of this ultra-thin new product in the world of mobile devices.

Equipment

The packaging of Fly Tornado Slim is unusual: the thin smartphone is sold in a thin box made of cardboard in the form of a pencil case with a sliding lid. The box is quite small; I have never seen a smartphone packaging of this size before, it is so small in size. The packaging of the smartphone looks quite stylish and strict: a minimum of necessary information and pictures, no different colors, the shape is unusual. In general, everything sets you up for the most serious mood upon further acquaintance with the contents.

The set of accessories consists of an extremely compact charger (5 V, 1 A), a Micro-USB connecting cable, a nice wired stereo headset with a flat, tangle-free round wire and in-ear rubber ear pads, as well as several thin books of paper documentation.

Appearance and ease of use

As for the aesthetic side, from this point of view, a thin glass smartphone with metal sides looks, of course, in a more favorable light than any plastic or thicker counterparts. But from a practical point of view, the extremely thin body with glass surfaces turns out to be not very convenient for everyday use. Firstly, the device is too slippery due to the large amount of glass and cold metal. Thin edges and the lack of thickness that fills the palm also do not contribute at all to a secure grip in the palm. In addition, the device is too light - its weight does not even reach one hundred grams, the weight of the device in your pocket is practically not felt.

At the same time, the smartphone is not so small: although its screen does not reach five inches, nevertheless, its body turned out to be even longer than the same Nexus 5, for example. Most of all, the smartphone is suitable for comparison with another extremely compact new product, the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone, which of all modern models is closest to the hero of the review both in size and weight, and in price. True, at the same time, the device from Lenovo is head and shoulders above its opponent in terms of technical equipment, and costs almost the same.

Due to the materials from which the outer part of the body of the new product is made, the device is not only slippery, but also quite easily soiled. The glass panels that completely cover both sides of the device are instantly covered with fingerprints. So in this regard, the white color option looks preferable; prints on it are not as visible as on black.

Another type of material used to create the Fly Tornado Slim case is aluminum - the side frame that runs along the entire perimeter of the case is made of it. It’s a shame that Samsung paints over the metal frames of its smartphones; after all, the undisguised shine of real metal in such decorative elements greatly adds value and charm to the appearance of any device. At the same time, we are talking specifically about finishing elements, and not about all-metal cases; they are a special subject. One way or another, the wide unpainted metal frame on the Fly Tornado Slim body suits it very well, and this is perhaps the best option that designers could offer in this case. Sony does approximately the same thing: in its top smartphones, two glass halves are also connected by a metal side frame; in this regard, Tornado Slim is generally very similar to Japanese devices.

True, unlike Sony smartphones, the hero of the review has to remove the SIM card from the side slot using an additional tool - the familiar key clip, which is used to press the secret button located in the retractable cover. The device only works with one SIM card in Micro-SIM format; there was no room for a second card, as well as a memory card, in the Fly Tornado Slim smartphone.

The front panel of the smartphone is completely covered with flat protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which is scratch-resistant. In the upper part of the case, a longitudinal recess is cut right into the glass to accommodate the telephone speaker grille; next to it you can see the sensors and the front camera window. But such a useful element as an LED notification indicator was unfortunately not found here.

Below, under the screen, there is a traditional row of three hardware buttons for controlling the system and applications. All buttons are touch sensitive; they have a dim, whitish backlight that is sufficient to be seen in the dark. You cannot influence the duration of the backlight in any way using the settings, but you can turn it off completely.

Two mechanical keys are located on one left side, one next to the other. Both buttons - volume and lock - protrude to a sufficient height, are easy to feel when blind, the stroke is quite long and elastic, in general there are no complaints about the mechanical controls of the Fly Tornado Slim at all.

The universal Micro-USB connector is located at the bottom. There, next to it, there is an audio output with a diameter of 3.5 mm. The Micro-USB connector supports external device connection mode (USB OTG). Both connectors, although they are on the same edge, are separated by a sufficient distance, so that the plugs inserted into both sockets should not interfere with each other.

The smartphone does not have any plugs on its connectors, and the device is not equipped with protection against water and dirt. You won't find a strap mount here either.

As for the colors, it is known that in addition to the white version with a golden metallic edging, as in our photographs, there is also a black color version of the case on sale. In this case, the metal frame is also blackened to match the overall color of the device.

Screen

The Fly Tornado Slim smartphone is equipped with a Super AMOLED touch matrix. The screen dimensions are 60x107 mm, diagonal - 4.8 inches, resolution - 1280x720 pixels. The pixel density is 306 ppi.

The width of the side frames from the edge of the screen to the edge of the body is about 3.5 mm - the frames are thin, but they would be even thinner if not for the black border around the screen, its thickness is a full millimeter. Without it, the distance to the screen would generally be only 2.5 mm. The thickness of the top and bottom edges is the same and is about 16 mm. The brightness of the display can be adjusted manually, or you can use automatic adjustment based on the operation of the light sensor. In the settings, you can also enable the mode to increase the maximum screen backlight level. Multi-touch technology here allows you to process up to 10 simultaneous touches. The smartphone also has a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear. It is possible to operate the screen with gloves, but the function is not located in the settings section about the screen, but is hidden in the accessibility section, which users usually do not look into. The screen, by the way, can be activated by double tapping the glass.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections, Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are comparable to the screen properties of Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Fly Tornado Slim, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Fly Tornado Slim is slightly lighter (brightness according to photographs is 91 versus 89 for the Nexus 7) and does not have a pronounced tint. Note that the reflection from bright objects in the Fly Tornado Slim screen has a pale bluish halo that is slightly more pronounced in the transverse direction. The ghosting of reflected objects in the Fly Tornado Slim screen is very weak, which indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen. Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass-air type) with very different refractive indices, screens without an air gap look better in conditions of strong external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. On the outer surface of the Fly Tornado Slim screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (effective, no worse than that of the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed much easier and appear at a lower speed than in the case of regular glass.

When the white field was displayed in full screen and with manual brightness control, its maximum value was 235 cd/m², the minimum was 5.2 cd/m². You also need to take into account the fact that in this case, the smaller the white area on the screen, the lighter it is, that is, the actual maximum brightness of the white areas will almost always be higher than the specified value. Additionally, in the screen settings, you can enable a high-brightness mode, which helps increase brightness when the brightness slider is already set to maximum and the image on the screen differs from a solid white field. For example, when outputting white on half the screen (and black on the other half) and turning on the specified mode, the maximum brightness with manual adjustment increases to 400 cd/m². As a result, readability during the day in the sun should be at a fairly good level (there was no opportunity to check it). The reduced brightness level allows you to use the device even in complete darkness without any problems. Automatic brightness adjustment works based on the light sensor (it is located to the left of the front speaker slot). You can make adjustments to the operation of this function by moving the brightness adjustment slider. Below, for three conditions, we present the screen brightness values ​​for three values ​​of this setting - for 0, 50 and 100%. In complete darkness in automatic mode, the brightness is reduced to 5.2, 14 and 28 cd/m², respectively (the first is a little dark, the rest are normal), in an office illuminated by artificial light (approximately 400 lux) the brightness is set to 70, 95 and 90 cd /m² (more or less normal), in a brightly lit environment (corresponding to lighting on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) - increases to 200, 230, 160 cd/m², regardless of the position of the slider. The trend is strange and the repeatability of the results is low, which allows us to conclude that the light sensor is not operating correctly.

Only at low brightness levels there is modulation with a frequency of 247 Hz (yes, exactly 247). The figure below shows the dependence of brightness (vertical axis) on time (horizontal axis) for several brightness values:

It can be seen that at maximum and average brightness the modulation amplitude is minimal and its frequency is 61.7 Hz (screen refresh rate), as a result there is no visible flicker. However, with a strong decrease in brightness, modulation appears with a frequency of 247 Hz and a large relative amplitude. Therefore, at approximately a brightness below 100 cd/m², the presence of modulation can already be seen in the test for the presence of a stroboscopic effect or simply with rapid eye movement. Depending on individual sensitivity, this flickering may cause increased fatigue.

This screen uses a Super AMOLED matrix - an active matrix on organic light-emitting diodes. A full-color image is created using subpixels of three colors - red (R), green (G) and blue (B), but there are twice as many green subpixels, which can be referred to as RGBG. This is confirmed by a fragment of a microphotograph:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

In the fragment above you can count 4 green subpixels, 2 red (4 halves) and 2 blue (1 whole and 4 quarters), and by repeating these fragments, you can lay out the entire screen without breaks or overlap. For such matrices, Samsung introduced the name PenTile RGBG. The manufacturer calculates the screen resolution based on the green subpixels; based on the other two, it will be two times lower. The location and shape of the subpixels in this version is similar to that in the case of the screen and some other newer devices from Samsung (and not only) with AMOLED screens. This version of PenTile RGBG is better than the old one with red squares, blue rectangles and stripes of green subpixels. However, some unevenness of contrast borders and other artifacts are still present. However, due to the fairly high resolution, they have a minimal impact on image quality.

The screen is characterized by excellent viewing angles, although white color, when deviated even at small angles, acquires a slight blue-green tint, but black color is just black at any angle. So black that the contrast parameter is simply not applicable in this case. When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the white field is excellent. For comparison, here are photographs in which the same images are displayed on the screens of the Fly Tornado Slim and the second comparison participant, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m², and the color balance on the camera is forced to switch to 6500 K. White field:

Note the excellent uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And a test picture:

The color balance of the screens is slightly different and the colors of the Fly Tornado Slim are oversaturated and unnatural. Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen. White field:

The brightness at an angle for both screens has noticeably decreased (to avoid strong darkening, the shutter speed has been increased compared to the previous two photographs), but in the case of the Fly Tornado Slim the drop in brightness is much less pronounced. As a result, with formally the same brightness, the Fly Tornado Slim screen visually looks much brighter (compared to LCD screens), since you often have to look at the screen of a mobile device from at least a slight angle. And a test picture:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens and the brightness of the Fly Tornado Slim at an angle is noticeably higher.

Switching the state of the matrix elements is performed almost instantly, but at the turn-on edge there may be a step approximately 16 ms wide (which corresponds to the screen refresh rate). For example, this is what the dependence of brightness on time looks like when moving from black to white and back:

In some conditions, the presence of such a step can lead to plumes trailing moving objects, but in normal use these artifacts are difficult to see. Quite the contrary - dynamic scenes in films on OLED screens are distinguished by high clarity and even some “jerky” movements.

The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, revealed a small blockage in the shadows (even the first shade of gray at this step is practically indistinguishable in brightness from black), but there is no blockage in the highlights. The exponent of the approximating power function is 1.92, which is lower than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve noticeably deviates from the power law:

Let us recall that in the case of OLED screens, the brightness of image fragments dynamically changes in accordance with the nature of the displayed image - it decreases for generally light images. As a result, the resulting dependence of brightness on hue (gamma curve) most likely slightly does not correspond to the gamma curve of a static image, since the measurements were carried out with sequential display of shades of gray on almost the entire screen. On the graph of brightness (vertical axis) versus time (horizontal axis) during the transition from black to white and back, which is shown above, there is a falling section, that is, the brightness of the white field begins to decrease after about 0.3 s.

The color gamut is very wide:

The component spectra (that is, the spectra of pure red, green and blue) are very well separated:

Note that on screens with a wide color gamut, without appropriate correction, the colors of regular images optimized for sRGB devices appear unnaturally saturated. The balance of shades on the gray scale is not ideal, but, in general, acceptable. The color temperature is slightly higher than 6500 K, and the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) remains below 10 units over most of the gray scale, which is considered a good indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, color temperature and ΔE change little from hue to hue - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance:

(The darkest areas of the gray scale can in most cases be ignored, since color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

Let's summarize. The screen has a fairly high maximum brightness (in a special mode) and has good anti-glare properties, so the device can most likely be used outdoors even on a sunny summer day without any problems. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. It is acceptable to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, although there are some complaints about its operation. The advantages of the screen include a good oleophobic coating and a color balance close to standard. At the same time, let us remind you about the general advantages of OLED screens: true black color (if nothing is reflected in the screen), excellent uniformity of the white field, noticeably less than that of LCDs, and a drop in image brightness when viewed at an angle. The disadvantages include screen flickering, which appears at low brightness. For users who are particularly sensitive to flicker, this may cause increased fatigue. Negative properties include an excessively wide color gamut, which makes ordinary images look unnatural. However, overall the screen quality is high.

Sound

The device cannot boast of good sound. It is difficult to fit a high-quality speaker into an overly thin case, and this is fully demonstrated here. The device produces such a thin, sonorous and ringing “on one note” sound that at full volume it hurts the ears quite unpleasantly. There are no traces of low frequencies, but due to the high, ringing, sharp sound, it will be difficult not to hear the call melody. It’s gratifying that, unlike the same Oppo Finder or Oppo R5, this device has the ability to embed a full 3.5 mm headphone jack. However, the sound of this device cannot be compared with how Oppo devices can produce high-quality sound.

There are no separate settings that can affect the sound quality in the smartphone; all the possibilities are contained only in the standard Play Music audio player, used here to play melodies, but there are practically none there either.

The smartphone comes standard with an FM radio, and there is also a voice recorder. The radio does not work without headphones connected as an external antenna, but it can record programs. The smartphone cannot record telephone conversations from the line using standard means.

The main rear camera is equipped with an 8-megapixel module with f/2.2 aperture with autofocus and LED flash. The camera control menu is not the most convenient: the rendering of all elements is very small, and in the bright sun it is difficult to understand the choice of modes and settings. There are several options for releasing the shutter, from using the hardware volume key to the ability to control gestures from a distance. Of the additional shooting modes, only panorama and HDR are present; there is also a special mode in which there is a wide selection of options for adding various effects, such as Face Beauty or Make-up, or various frames, such as “gluing” a postage stamp on top of a photo, etc. . Interesting and useful features include the function of separating focus points and autoexposure points (AF/AE separation) and the ability to manually select the metering point. Two frames appear on the display: square and round. The square is responsible for the focusing point, and the circle is for the exposure metering point. To align the exposure on a specific object, you just need to move the round frame over that object, and the camera will set the desired exposure.

The camera can shoot video; there are several resolutions to choose from, up to a maximum of 1920x1080. An example of a test video is presented below.

• Video No. 1 (44 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)
• Video No. 2 (40 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)

	The camera as a whole is capable of macro photography.
	In the room you can clearly see that the noise reduction work is not the most accurate, but it is not rough either.
	There are noticeable areas of blur, and the middle plans are already poorly developed.
	The camera doesn't cope too badly with indoor shooting.
	Sharpness drops quite quickly as the shot is removed.
	The middle plans are well done in some places, but the details in the distant ones are almost indistinguishable.
	The camera works much better with large objects than with small ones, but not always.
	Even when shooting text, areas of blur are noticeable. The camera will cope much worse with small font.
	Already in close-up shots the camera gives up, and everything from medium shots onwards goes into fog.
	Sometimes the camera succeeds in medium plans, but only in places and certainly not at the edges of the frame.

There's nothing outstanding about the camera, but it doesn't do its job too badly. Still, this module cannot handle 8 megapixels. Problems with optics are clearly visible: in the pictures there are areas of blur, and even a banal “defocus” on some objects. Noise reduction doesn't cope too badly, as long as it doesn't deal with dark objects and strong shadows - in such places colored noise appears.

However, despite the low quality of the images, the camera can be used for not very demanding documentary shooting.

Telephone and communications

The smartphone operates in modern 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks; the device does not support LTE (4G). As a standard, you can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels; there are Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Display modes. But NFC is not supported; the Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n module supports only one band (2.4 GHz). The maximum possible theoretical wireless data transfer speed is limited to HSDPA+ mode (up to 21 Mbit/s). It’s gratifying that it supports connecting flash drives using an OTG adapter.

The device works with GPS/A-GPS, without support for the domestic Glonass. It is worth noting that the device also contains a magnetic field sensor, on the basis of which the electronic compass of navigation mapping programs usually operates. It seems to be a familiar and common function, but among budget and even mid-level smartphones there is still the absence of such a sensor, and therefore the impossibility of comfortable orientation on the ground using electronic maps (the closest example is the Indian smartphone Micromax Canvas Nitro (its review will soon appear on website).

There were no spontaneous reboots/shutdowns observed during testing, there are no problems with this, the interface works very quickly, no delays or slowdowns were noticed. The layout and location of the keys are standard: switching languages ​​is done by pressing a special button with a globe image; there is no separate dedicated row with numbers - you need to switch the layout each time. The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, while dialing a phone number, a search for contacts is immediately carried out; there is also a favorite continuous input method like Swype, which many users love.

OS and software

Fly Tornado Slim currently runs on the Google Android software platform version 4.4.2 KitKat. Unlike previous Fly models, the user interface here has been slightly redesigned in relation to the proprietary Android interface. The settings menu is divided into two sections with basic and general settings; a volume slider has been added to the notification drop-down menu for quick settings; The menu of installed applications has been completely removed - all icons of installed programs are now distributed across desktops mixed with widgets. Support for gestures has appeared: such familiar features as a quick response by bringing the device closer to the ear or calling programs by drawing special characters on the screen are now available on Fly smartphones (Tornado One can do all this too).

Performance

The Fly Tornado Slim hardware platform is based on the eight-core single-chip system (SoC) MediaTek MT6592, officially introduced a year ago. A special feature of the SoC is that its configuration includes eight full-fledged processor cores operating at frequencies up to 2 GHz (in this case, 1.7 GHz). True, only ARM Cortex-A7 cores are used.

The Mali-450MP4 video accelerator is responsible for graphics processing here. The device has a 16 GB memory module, of which about 10 GB is available for the user’s needs, the rest is reserved for the system and applications. The memory capacity of a smartphone cannot be increased using cards—Fly Tornado Slim does not support them. The amount of RAM is 1 GB. The mode for connecting external devices to the Micro-USB (OTG) port of the device is supported.

According to the test results, the Fly Tornado Slim hardware platform showed very good results, the performance of the smartphone is above average (about 30K in AnTuTu v 5.x). There is nothing special to add here; the eight-core SoC MediaTek MT6592 has long been firmly established on the market, we have already studied it well using the example of many devices tested over the past year. It has never broken any performance records and will never break it again, but smartphones based on it are not too expensive. It will gradually be replaced by the new MT6595; we already have some of these devices. The new platform surpasses its predecessor so significantly that comparing them is simply pointless. The destiny of SoC MediaTek MT6592 is middle and further down the levels, but not top-end or flagship. The test results of other similar smartphones presented as comparative examples in the tables clearly demonstrate how much this platform is ahead of the morally outdated MT6582, and how much it lags behind the more advanced and modern MT6595. However, the smartphone described today is quite powerful; the performance of the eight-core platform will be enough to perform most tasks for a long time.

Testing in the latest versions of comprehensive tests AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:

For convenience, we have compiled all the results we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks into tables. The table usually adds several other devices from different segments, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison it is impossible to present the results from different versions of benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” - due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in 3DMark game tests,GFXBenchmark, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark, the most powerful smartphones now have the ability to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowance for the fact that their results significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this is possible during testing not always. For Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Playing video

To test the omnivorous nature of video playback (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone. Also, you shouldn’t expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it.

According to the test results, the Fly Tornado Slim was not equipped with all the necessary decoders that are needed to fully play most of the most common multimedia files on the Internet. To successfully play them, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is also necessary to change the settings and install additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support the AC3 sound format.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player	Standard video player
DVDRip	AVI, XviD 720×400 2200 Kbps, MP3+AC3	plays normally	plays normally

¹ sound in MX Video Player was played only after installing an alternative custom audio codec; The standard player does not have this setting

Further testing of video playback was performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Method for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)”). Screenshots with a shutter speed of 1 s helped determine the nature of the output of frames of video files with various parameters: the resolution varied (1280 by 720 (720p) and 1920 by 1080 (1080p) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames/ With). In the tests we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware” mode. The test results are summarized in the table:

Fine No Fine No Fine No Fine No

Note: If in both columns Uniformity And Passes Green ratings are given, this means that, most likely, when watching films, artifacts caused by uneven alternation and frame skipping will either not be visible at all, or their number and visibility will not affect the viewing comfort. Red marks indicate possible problems with playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion of frame output, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) be output with more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without skipping frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one in pixels, that is, in the original resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen does not correspond to the standard range of 16-235 - in the shadows, the dozen shades closest to black do not differ from it in brightness, but in the highlights all gradations of shades are displayed. In the settings, you can enable a mode with insertion of intermediate frames for video files up to 30 fps; however, the quality of this function is not high.

Battery life

The lithium-ion battery installed in the Fly Tornado Slim has a capacity of 2050 mAh that is not very large for modern smartphones, which is logical, because it is problematic to fit a large battery into such a thin case. Nevertheless, even despite the energy-intensive eight-core platform, according to the testing results, the device demonstrated a quite decent level of autonomy, although, of course, it is far from achieving longevity records. However, with moderate consumption in normal operating mode, the device is quite capable of lasting all day and quietly surviving until nighttime charging.

Continuous reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) lasted about 10.5 hours until the battery was completely discharged, and when continuously watching videos in high quality (720p) with The device lasted 7 hours at the same brightness level via a home Wi-Fi network. In game mode, the smartphone functioned for just over 3 hours. Fully charging the battery takes approximately 2.5 hours.

Bottom line

As for the price, it has already been indicated; in Russian retail, the smartphone is offered for 13 thousand rubles. The Fly Tornado Slim is not a flagship device in terms of its characteristics; for this it does not have a sufficiently large number of functions and capabilities. The screen resolution is below Full HD, the work is based on a mid-level hardware platform, the sound and camera are of modest quality, there is no LTE support, there is also no second Wi-Fi band, the navigation module does not work with the domestic Glonass system, there is no NFC, the battery cannot boast of its capacity. And yet, if you perceive a smartphone from the point of view of a “strong middle peasant”, then from this perspective the device seems to have everything in place, although you need to understand that by adding just a little money you can now buy a much more advanced one in most characteristics and capabilities Lenovo Vibe X2 on the latest and very fast platform, and even with a Full HD screen. As for the main highlight of today's hero, his extraordinary body thickness, this is definitely not a clear advantage, and only those who need it need it. For exotic lovers, such an unusual-looking smartphone can give them a reason to stand out and show off. Otherwise, the excessively thin thickness and slippery body cannot be called a useful and practical side of the device; for everyday use, in terms of ergonomics, such a solution seems rather controversial.

Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to surprise users, however, some manufacturers still manage to do it. A striking example of this is Fly Tornado Slim. Even now, the smartphone remains attractive both in terms of design and price. Characteristics? You can’t tell us everything in a nutshell, so let’s move on to the review.

I want to make a small disclaimer right away. The smartphone went on sale at the end of last year and it is soon expected that the model will be discontinued and begin to disappear from store shelves. Nevertheless, even after such a significant period of time, the device remains relevant, especially if you take into account the price, characteristics and unique feature of the device - its record thickness. It so happened that the sample reached our editorial office only now. As it turned out, the device is very interesting and it is necessary to talk about it, even at the end of the product.

We will go over the key points, highlight the pros and cons, and, perhaps, end the story about the device with a short but succinct conclusion. Go!

You are greeted by your clothes and escorted by your mind. We can’t escape this system, so we start with packaging and packaging. The box is made stylishly, not at all in the spirit of the company's products. With its appearance, it seems to say that hidden inside is not just another brick on Android OS, but something stylish, at least with a hint of premiumness.

Equipment:

• telephone
• Micro USB cable
• power unit
• headset

Interestingly, the user manual lists the battery as a separate item in the package. Actually in Fly IQ4516 it is not removable, so how you can check “if all the components are in place” (the phrase is still from the same instructions) is personally unclear to me.

Design

Tornado Slim stands out among dozens of its competitors from the mid-price segment, not only due to its record low case thickness (5.1 mm), which, of course, is impressive in itself, but also due to its appearance in general. A side frame made of smoothly polished metal, glass with protection from scratches and fingerprints on the front and back, a beautiful play of light on the edges - usually all these are the advantages of flagship products.

Do you know what is the main and far from obvious difference between expensive devices, and even then, not all of them, from cheaper smartphones? As a rule, flagships play, so to speak, ring in the hand. This can be said about the iPhone of all generations starting from 4, about the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, the same is true for the Sony Xperia Z3 and other similar devices. It so happened that Fly Tornado Slim was included in the same row - this is its big and, perhaps, main advantage.

Let's take a look at the dimensions of the device, comparing them with its main competitors.

	Length	Width	Thickness	Weight
Fly Tornado Slim	139,8	67,5	5,15	95,5
Lenovo S90		71,7
Apple iPhone 6	138,1
Sony Xperia Z3	146,5

I hope you noticed that the smartphone is not only very thin, but also very light. Weight below 100 grams feels completely unusual in your hands.

It's been a long time since I've seen phones with such mass. Perhaps, since the reign of all sorts of Siemens and Motorola.

I will not describe the elements of the smartphone's appearance. Everything is clearly visible in the photographs below. It’s better to focus on some key points.

Touch control keys for the system are located under the display. They are a little stiff to press. During three weeks of use, I more than once encountered the fact that they reacted to touches the second or even the third time. However, the nice thing is that they are not devoid of backlighting. At night, you won’t need to blindly poke and see what you finally clicked on.

Placing the power button on the left side was certainly an original solution. This is probably what took me the longest to get used to. I am right-handed and in my case my thumb fits exactly on the right side, which in our case turned out to be empty. Stupor.

In fact, the right side is not completely empty. On this side there is a tray for a SIM card (one). I'm glad that the manufacturer left the Micro SIM form factor and did not use the Nano card standard that few people need.

As you already understood, there is no support for memory cards. So, Tornado Slim is not suitable for those who like to store everything in the world on their device: photos from a previous vacation, the latest season of Game of Thrones, music downloaded from rabbits (which, despite the efforts of Roskomnadzor, are still not there) and the like. This entire warehouse will have to be stored on a flash drive, fortunately it connects and is successfully recognized by our Fly without problems. We buy and go.

At the back, in the upper right corner, there is a peephole for the main camera. It doesn't stick out above the body (hello, Apple!) and that's a victory, comrades.

Closer to the bottom there is something for which you can safely go to the store and buy this smartphone. The inscription “Made in China” is made in Russian. No “madeinchina” or “designinkalifornia” for you. Give me... the inscriptions are in Russian!

By the way, you shouldn’t worry about the absence of the PCT sign on the body, which is familiar to Russian people. Now instead, like many other products, the designation EAC is used, which means Eurasian Conformity or Eurasian Conformity. In other words, the presence of this emblem means that the goods are subject to circulation on the territory of the Customs Union, which includes countries such as Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and more recently also Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.

Right there, closer to the left edge, there are slots for a multimedia speaker. It cannot boast of any particular volume. On a noisy street, missing a call costs nothing.

In the settings you can set the vibration response to any touch on the touch screen. For such a thin and light device, you wouldn't expect much vibration. It seems as if the device could crumble from it. In this regard, it would be nice to be able to adjust the vibration intensity to suit your habits and needs. Still, you expect the vibration response to be subtle, slightly noticeable, that is, to match the design of the phone. But no!

At the end of the section about appearance, I want to tell you one important thing.

The smartphone is very slippery due to the use of glass on the front and back panels.

And if it still lies quite well in your hands, then on the table it begins to move in different directions on its own. I confess that the phone fell to the floor several times from the audio speaker (ordinary computer speakers), despite the fact that I placed it exactly in the center of the top cover. By the way, the phone withstood such repeated crash tests (height - 1 meter, parquet floor) with amazing durability. I can’t say anything about tiles or asphalt, but I wouldn’t try it if I were you.

There are only two colors found in nature: black and white. Both solutions look stylish and interesting in their own way.

Technical characteristics of Fly Tornado Slim IQ4516

The hero of our review is not just a beautiful shell, not some kind of dummy. It is equipped with a pretty decent Mediatek MT6592 processor with eight Cortex-A7 cores and a frequency of 1.7 GHz. The chip was created using a 28-nanometer process technology and was presented to the world at the end of 2013. Freshness, of course, is not the first thing, but this does not mean that everything is lost.

• Mali-450 MP video chip
• RAM 1 GB (469 MB available on a clean device)
• Built-in memory 16 GB (data storage 9.76 GB)
• battery (lithium polymer) 2050 mAh
• OS Android 4.4.2
• connectors: Micro USB (OTG), 3.5 mm audio output
• sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, light and proximity sensors, compass
• weight 95.5 g

It would seem that you should not expect breakthrough performance from the built-in hardware, but in combat conditions the device showed its best side. For example, the process of playing Real Racing 3 was slow only when I took screenshots for review. As part of normal gameplay, the picture was very smooth, there were no frame drops.

But the behavior of the device in Asphalt 8 was somehow not convincing. Both average and high graphics settings did not give high FPS. However, you can play on any settings, there are no brakes.

With interface animation, things are not so rosy. For the most part, there are no brakes or critical lags, but there are visible slowdowns in the settings menu. You flip through the list, and it trembles like an aspen leaf.

I would add another gigabyte of RAM to the device. Still, one gig is not enough for a universal device. Browser pages constantly have to be reloaded, and with real multitasking, our hero begins to noticeably think.

It is clear that you should not expect this device to support short-distance communication (NFC) or 4G Internet speeds. Although, according to the trend of recent months, many even relatively budget devices are already starting to receive an LTE modem.

The remaining network capabilities of the device look like this:

• 2G, 3G (HSDPA+ up to 21 Mbit/s)
• Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) 2.4 GHz
• Bluetooth 4.0
• GPS, A-GPS
• FM radio

Display

The Super AMOLED screen is very easy to distinguish from IPS. The last category of displays is distinguished by more natural color reproduction and the absence of raised contrast, which cannot be said about our sample.

• 1280 x 720 pixels (ppi)
• screen diagonal 4.8’’
• Protective glass Gorilla glass 3 (front and back) with oleophobic coating

In addition, viewing angles also suffer from the use of these “Samsung” matrices.

At sharp angles, a clearly visible greenish tint appears, but the picture does not invert.

A clear advantage of Super AMOLED is its reduced power consumption. More black color in the interface automatically reduces battery consumption.
In the sun, the image, of course, fades, but readability is completely preserved. Fortunately, the light sensor works correctly for the most part. By the way, the display brightness is sufficient. In my practice, I came across devices with more powerful backlighting, but there was no particular point in this. Unless in a dark alley to blind the punks, that is, to use them instead of a gas canister.

Cameras

In this case, you can paraphrase a well-known saying and say the following: “They either say good things about a bad camera or nothing at all.” And everything positive in our case is the official specifications of the photomatrix, that is, theory.

• 8 megapixels - main camera (3264 x 2448 pixels)
• 5 MP - front (2560 x 1920 pixels)
• Full HD video recording
• led flash
• autofocus

In practice, nothing good can be said about the quality of photographs. They are unclear, sometimes blurry, the exposure is poorly determined - in general, we are dealing with a complete set of an ordinary, average camera. Judge for yourself.

The originals of all photographs can be downloaded from here for detailed viewing in a relaxed environment.

The device can shoot video in Full HD resolution at 30 frames per second. The quality of the video stream is not bad. Typically, devices take good pictures, but do not take good video. Here everything is somehow the other way around. In general, the sample is in front of you.

Battery life

Frankly, I expected the smartphone to completely fail in this aspect and not be able to work even for one daylight hours. I was misled by the thickness of the device, namely, the lack of understanding of how a more or less capacious battery could be installed in this case. Fortunately, I was wrong.

A lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 2050 mAh can extend the life cycle of the device to one and a half, or even two days. We are talking about average operating mode (more than three hours of screen operation, all wireless interfaces are turned on). In conditions of aggressive use, the device will easily survive until late in the evening. A very good indicator for such a baby.

There is a power-saving mode that limits the maximum processor frequency, but I cannot confirm its effectiveness. I didn’t notice any special changes with or without it.

Software shell

A proprietary shell is preinstalled on top of Android 4.4.2. It doesn’t bring anything particularly new, but simply acts as an alternative launcher for those who are already tired of the standard Android KitKat look.

There will be no update to Android 5. However, you can install the alternative MIUI 6 firmware and the phone will play in a new way.

Let's go back to what we have.

I don’t know what the problem might be, but during testing I repeatedly encountered running applications crashing.

You’re calmly surfing Yandex.Metro and then the utility suddenly crashes and the system reports an error. I repeat, this happened more than once, but, fortunately, not at every step.

For some reason I was unable to make a call several times. The phone simply refused to dial the number, nevertheless, diligently trying to do it for almost a minute. The pain was quickly cured by a regular reboot.

I wasn’t able to notice any other crime, except for a ton of garbage applications that brazenly occupy a significant part of the phone’s memory.

Some of them, for example, UBANK even managed to send me a notification once with an offer of some kind of loan. This is out of the question! Fortunately, most of these programs can be removed or at least stopped from the Applications menu.

In the parameters you can select a larger font, but this is of no particular use. If menu items are clearly distinguishable, then their descriptions will be, so to speak, difficult for people with imperfect vision to read. There are no standard remedies to fix this problem.

The developers have provided several gestures that can make familiar operations more convenient, but they will take some getting used to. For example, double-tapping a sleeping screen wakes it up, and drawing a “C” on the display while in sleep mode automatically launches the photo app. You get used to the first one quickly, but to use the second one, you need to constantly remind yourself of it.

Bottom line

In retail Fly Tornado Slim Can buy for 12,990 rubles. There are better offers, but there are also more expensive ones. However, by and large, there is no point in scouring the Internet in search of a truly favorable price - everything is approximately the same.

The advantageous difference between the Fly Tornado Slim and other similar smartphones is that this record holder (in terms of body thickness, of course) is easily accessible to any user in our country. This is not some semi-mythical Chinese from the news feed, to purchase which you need to wait from two weeks to a month for delivery from Ali or Gearbest. It’s here, nearby, in a communication shop around the corner and with a normal, full warranty (2 years).

However, the phone still had some shortcomings. The most critical is the software, which even since the end of 2014 (when the device went on sale) has not been able to be completed to a 100% stable state. Rare, but still present, application crashes, communication errors when making calls - all this clearly slightly spoils the impression of the device. However, it turned out that this is a kind of payment for a relatively low cost and a unique case. Either this or not at all. I’ll put it in a slightly different way: it’s not a fact that the same Vivo X5 Max S or ZTE Nubia My Prague will be different.

Already on sale Price: 12,990 rubles

Fly smartphones have come a long way, and every year more and more very interesting models appear under this brand. Today we are introducing the Fly Tornado Slim (IQ4516 Octa), which currently bears the proud title of “the thinnest smartphone in the world.” By the way, its ODM manufacturer is the Chinese company Gionee, the original name of the model is Elife S5.1.

What is this?

Mid-class Android smartphone.

Why is he interesting?

Record thin thickness, which is only 5.2 mm. As well as high-quality body materials, among which glass and metal predominate.

What does he look like?

Fly Tornado Slim looks very nice. The front and back panels are made of tempered glass, the metal side frame is golden in color. The device is both similar and unlike the iPhone: the similarity lies in the combination of materials and impeccable build quality; The differences are in the general shape of the phone: in the arrangement of the elements.

Apart from its record-breaking thinness, the IQ4516 Octa doesn't boast particularly compact dimensions: it uses a 4.8-inch screen, while it is longer and wider than some 5-inch smartphones (for example, Nexus 5 or Samsung Galaxy S4).

Is it fast? How long does the battery last?

Fly Tornado Slim is equipped with a MediaTek MT6292 processor (8 Cortex-A7 cores clocked at up to 1.7 GHz) and 1 GB of RAM. The chip integrates rather weak Mali-450MP4 graphics, but due to the low screen resolution, the performance is sufficient. Unfortunately, the 3D Mark benchmark refused to launch on this smartphone.

Due to the very thin body, the smartphone was able to accommodate a battery with a capacity of only 2050 mAh. If the device is not used very actively, it lasts for about a day, but no more.

Bottom line

Of course, the title of “the world’s thinnest smartphone” is very cool. But in practice it turned out to be what in English is called a one-trick pony, since in order to achieve this record the manufacturer had to make many compromises: the smartphone uses a very mediocre AMOLED screen, a very mediocre camera module and a battery of not the highest capacity. In addition, it is not entirely clear why the smartphone is built on a fairly powerful processor, but is equipped with only 1 GB of RAM.

The advantages of the device include, first of all, excellent design and high quality of materials and workmanship. But if owning the thinnest smartphone in the world is not critical for you, then Fly also has more interesting models.

• record thin thickness;
• very nice design;
• high quality materials and workmanship.

• only 1 GB of RAM;
• mediocre camera;
• very dim screen.

Meridian Telecom, which supplies smartphones, handsets and tablets under the Fly brand to Russia, presented an interesting new product on Monday. The Fly Tornado Slim (IQ4516 Octa) device (known in Asia as Gionee assembles these devices for Fly) is today the thinnest smartphone officially sold in the world, which is confirmed by a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records.

The thinnest phone in the world with a thickness of only 5.15 mm has already been sent to us for testing, so we can be the first to tell you about the pros and cons of this unusual device. For the sake of outstanding design, the manufacturer had to sacrifice flagship characteristics and put a screen in the phone with a not-so-record resolution. However, the result was still very interesting.

Appearance, ergonomics

From the first minutes of meeting you, Tornado Slim captivates with its appearance. Due to its record-breaking thinness, the device feels completely different in your hand than other smartphones - it seems that you are holding in your hand some kind of gadget from the future, in the body of which there is almost nothing left except the display. The front and back panels are made of damage-resistant Gorilla Glass 3, and there is a metal rim around the perimeter. It is “broken” in three places with unnoticeable plastic inserts; they are needed to ensure consistently high quality of communication, regardless of how the user holds the phone.

The thinnest smartphone of 2014 (at least in Russia and as of mid-November) has fairly conveniently located controls. The power/lock button and volume rocker are made of metal and are located on the left edge of the device.

At the top end, the minimalism of the design is broken only by a plastic jumper, and on the right edge there is a retractable tray for a single SIM card. The “dual-SIM” feature, which is practically mandatory for all other Fly smartphones, had to be abandoned - beauty requires sacrifice.

Finally, at the bottom end of the Fly Tornado Slim you can find two plastic jumpers, a microUSB connector and a standard 3.5 mm headphone input. It seems that soon this last element will become an obstacle to further reduction in the thickness of phones - long-standing standards will have to be changed or switched to exclusively wireless technologies.

We tested a device with white front and rear panels and golden aluminum trim. In addition, devices in classic black color will be available for sale. Dimensions of Fly Tornado Slim - 139.8 x 67.5 x 5.15 mm, weight - only 95.5 grams. This is what the device looks like in press renderings:

Screen, cameras

Fly Tornado Slim is equipped with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD matrix - the same screen as the Samsung Galaxy S3 released in 2012. It was one of the most outstanding display solutions on the market back then, and still outperforms many of its competitors. True, due to the peculiarities of the arrangement of pixels on such screens (PenTile), upon careful examination, small irregularities in the contrasting picture may be noticeable (for example, small black font on a white background). In addition, when looking at a screen with a light image at an angle, the image appears a bluish-purple tint. But these quibbles are already in the realm of painful perfectionism; in general, the display is quite good for this price category. In addition, ONCELL technology is used, that is, there is no air gap between the matrix and the protective glass.

The thinnest phone in Russia is equipped with a good rear camera and an excellent front camera. The first has a resolution of 8 megapixels, standard for mid-budget solutions - a more “big-eyed” module simply would not fit into such a thin body. But the second one fully meets the user’s request for the highest quality selfies - a resolution of 5 megapixels makes Fly Tornado Slim one of the few leaders in this parameter.

Filling, performance

Fly Tornado Slim is equipped with an eight-core Mediatek MT6592 Octa Core processor with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz. The True Octa Core architecture with eight “equal” Cortex A7 cores is used. The load is distributed between them depending on the requirements of the currently running applications, which allows in most cases to keep only 2-4 cores active, seriously saving the battery. But if “life forces you”, all the cores are turned on at full capacity and, judging by the tests, demonstrate quite competitive (at the level of last year’s flagships like the HTC One M7) performance. That is, the owners of the device will not have any problems with resource-intensive programs and games for a long time.

The thinnest smartphone of 2014 demonstrates excellent performance in Vellamo and AnTuTu tests

The Tornado Slim has 1 GB of RAM, which is not impressive compared to flagships flaunting 2 or even 3 gigabytes, but in reality, when using Android 4.4 KitKat, it is quite enough for any modern games and applications. The built-in memory is 16 GB, of which about 11 are available to the user out of the box. There is no slot for microSD cards, but the phone supports OTG connection of USB storage devices, which can be a solution for owners of extensive music or video libraries.

For obvious reasons, the Fly Tornado Slim's battery is not the most capacious - 2050 mAh; more would not fit into such a thin body. However, we did not find any problems with the autonomy of the smartphone - the economical AMOLED screen and the “smart” eight-core processor save the day. The manufacturer promises 140 hours of standby time, up to 8 hours of talk time and up to 50 hours of audio playback.

A few words about the software. The device runs on the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat (remember, it has not yet been officially released even for Google Nexus line devices), but the Launcher3 launcher, apparently developed by Gionee, is installed by default. Unfortunately, this part of the software is not very well optimized for the smartphone’s hardware, which is why when flipping through screens and menus, the frame rate is not the highest, and small jerks are often noticeable. In addition, this is an Android launcher “a la iPhone” without a dedicated application menu, in which all installed programs occupy home screens one after another. Not everyone will like this decision.

Problems, however, can be solved very simply - just install the standard Google launcher Google Start and, as if by magic, the device’s interface begins to literally “fly”. Of course, we personally think a solution with a clean Android interface (like, for example, or) is preferable, but many manufacturers, for various reasons, still prefer to spend resources on developing their own interfaces.

Competitors, conclusions

Let's look at other “thintest” smartphones on sale. A search in the Yandex.Market database with the condition “smartphone thickness less than 6 mm” produces only 10 results; only seven of them are available in at least one store. At the same time, the names of most manufacturers will most likely mean nothing to you (unless, of course, you live in China) - Elephone, Jiayu, BQ.

Of the brands that have been on the Russian market for a long time, only Prestigio has attempted to come close to the title of “the thinnest”, having recently announced the Prestigio Grace device with Android 4.4 KitKat, a 5-inch FullHD screen and a thickness of 5.5 mm. The offer is interesting, especially since the screen here is more spacious and clear, with a similar processor, there is twice as much RAM, a slightly more capacious (2300 mAh) battery, and the rear camera has a higher resolution - 13 MP. At the same time, the price tag for the B-brand is quite unmerciful - 17,000 rubles.

Fly Tornado Slim also cannot be called cheap - with a manufacturer's recommended price of 12,990 rubles, it is rather a mid-budget offer. At the same time, if you need a smartphone with a unique and stylish design, you simply won’t be able to find anything more impressive in Russia. Of course, many continue to consider iPhones as the standard of design, but their price was quite high even before the latest events on the foreign exchange market, and soon, most likely, it will be increased even more to reflect the fall in the ruble exchange rate. Among Android devices with a similar stylish and slim design, the one we tested also comes to mind. However, while it beats the Fly Tornado Slim in some characteristics and is not inferior in price, it is one and a half millimeters thicker than the new Fly.

So, let's summarize:

Pros:

• The thinnest smartphone in the world (as of October 2014)
• Stylish design using metal
• Powerful yet economical processor

Minuses:

• Not the most capacious battery
• If the thinness of a smartphone is not important to you, then for the same money you can buy a more powerful device

For a “snack” - several beautiful videos praising the advantages of the smartphone:

In the age of great achievements and grandiose discoveries, many things tend to be reduced and miniaturized. This includes mobile devices. Their size, weight and volume are mercilessly cut - the fight is being waged on all fronts and for every millimeter. One gets the impression that it is the duty of honor of any self-respecting company in this market segment to release the thinnest gadget in history. As in many cases, engineers from the Middle Kingdom are moving ahead of the rest.

Thanks to fruitful work together with the Chinese manufacturer Gionee and many years of development experience, Fly presented to the public the world’s thinnest smartphone - FlyTornadoSlim. The thickness of the device's body is only 5.15 mm, and it is officially listed in the Guinness Book of Records. And we would never have been able to forgive ourselves if we had not gotten our hands on the new product for testing. Therefore, in this review you will learn about all the nuances, capabilities and features of this unique device.

Delivery and configuration

The Fly Tornado Slim smartphone comes in a small but quite stylish pull-out cardboard box. Traditionally for the Fly company, packaging is distinguished by its laconic appearance and very pleasant design. The outside is painted in a snow white glossy color, while the inside of the drawer has a matte black base.

The front side of the box bears the company logo, the name of the smartphone and its image, which frankly demonstrate the main feature of the device - the record thickness of the case. The back side contains a list of technical characteristics of the device and brief legal information from the manufacturer. Also, a small sticker is glued to one of the side edges of the package, on which, in addition to a list of certificates and several barcodes, the UCRF pictogram is depicted, which means that the IMEI of the smartphone is included in the UGCR database, that is, it is fully certified to work in Ukraine.

The Fly Tornado Slim delivery package is quite standard and includes the usual set of elements: a charger, a USB cable, a proprietary clip for removing the Micro-SIM card, a headset with vacuum-type headphones and several pairs of replaceable silicone pads, basic documentation and a warranty card.

Appearance, arrangement of elements

At first glance, it may seem that the Fly Tornado Slim is a completely ordinary smartphone with a traditional rectangular shape with slightly rounded edges. However, don't let your eyes fool you. At the time of publication of the review, the new product is the proud owner of the official title “The thinnest smartphone in the world,” which is confirmed by being included in the Guinness Book of Records. The thickness of the device's body is only 5.15 mm, which makes it stand out from its direct competitors.

The overall dimensions of the smartphone are also modest and amount to only 139 x 67.5 x 5.15 mm. The device lies very comfortably in the palm of your hand, and its presence is almost not felt. And this despite the fact that we have a modern mobile gadget with a screen diagonal of 4.8 inches. This feeling is only complemented by the stylish appearance, low weight of the device (just under 100 g) and monolithic body, the basis of which is tempered glass. However, when using a smartphone you should be extremely careful. The presence of a large amount of smooth material makes the device quite slippery, and if you are not careful, it can easily fall out of your hands. And, as you know, any fall for glass, even tempered glass, can be fatal.

Fly Tornado Slim is presented on the market in classic white and black colors, which further emphasizes the solidity of the device. The main buyers of the gadget will be connoisseurs of strict, but at the same time elegant design.

The front side of the smartphone is completely covered with protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It has a good oleophobic coating that copes well with annoying fingerprints. As for the frames around the display, by modern standards they look very modest: 15 mm on top, 16 mm on the bottom, and 3 mm on the sides.

Above the screen there are proximity and light sensors, an earpiece hole and a front camera lens. Below the display there are three standard touch buttons: “Back”, “Home” and “Menu”.

The sides of the gadget are represented by a solid metal frame of golden color, which is divided by plastic partitions for radio antennas. In addition to the aesthetic component, it gives the device a fairly high level of rigidity.

On the right side of the Fly IQ4516 Octa there is a slot for a Micro-SIM card, and on the left there is a volume rocker and a power button.

On the bottom edge of the device there is a 3.5 mm audio jack for a headset, a microphone hole and a micro-USB connector. The top edge of the smartphone is free from any elements. It would be worth noting that all available connectors are protected by plastic covers so that the plugs do not scratch the metal.

The back side of the Fly Tornado Slim is also made in the form of a solid plate of protective glass. It has a completely flat surface, without any protrusions or snags. In the upper left corner of the back side there is the main camera lens, under which there is a single flash LED. The manufacturer's logo is located much lower in the center. In the lower right corner is the multimedia speaker grille.

The build quality of the Fly Tornado Slim is at a high level. The smartphone body fits perfectly: there are no backlashes or gaps. Additionally, it is worth noting the excellent level of rigidity. Despite the record-breaking thinness, under moderate pressure the geometry of the device cannot be changed, and the image on the display remains without streaks or other visible artifacts.

Another pleasant surprise, along with the thinnest elegant body of the new product, was its equally stunning screen. The Fly Tornado Slim smartphone is equipped with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of 306 ppi.

As befits matrices of this type, the device’s screen has excellent color reproduction with pleasant and rich colors. The temperature balance is perfect, without the slightest hint of shifting into warm or cold shades. In addition, the deep black color, which can only be found on screens with a Super AMOLED matrix, is pleasantly pleasing. Other advantages of the display include excellent contrast and wide viewing angles. Even at an acute angle, the image does not fade, but remains bright and saturated, without any inversions or shifts.

The smartphone screen is protected from damage and external influences by tempered Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It has a good oleophobic coating. The display unit is made using OGS technology, which is characterized by the absence of an air gap between the glass and the display, which makes the picture clearer and more detailed.

The screen backlight also deserves special mention. It is characterized by a high level of brightness with a good range of adjustment. Thanks to PenTile technology, it was possible to significantly increase the efficiency of the backlight without increasing power consumption. All this allows you to easily use the device both on a bright sunny day and in complete darkness.

The built-in touch pad supports recognition of up to 10 simultaneous clicks. She is very sensitive and instantly reacts to even the slightest touch. Sliding your finger across the protective glass is easy and pleasant. It causes absolutely no discomfort. In addition, do not forget about the increased sensitivity mode, in which the touch substrate allows you to interact with the smartphone screen, even while wearing thin gloves. There is also support for smart gestures from a locked state.

At first glance, it may seem that it is simply physically impossible to fit a more or less decent audio path into such a thin model. As it turns out, this is not true. The Fly Tornado Slim smartphone is equipped with a very good multimedia speaker, which can provide quite loud and at the same time high-quality sound. Both high and mid frequencies are clearly present in the output range, and depending on the composition there is a hint of bass.

In addition, the device is equipped with a 3.5 mm audio jack, which allows you to connect external audio devices to it. The included headset has good and clear sound with a good volume reserve, but with an insufficiently developed frequency range. It is perfect for making calls or listening to simple songs and podcasts. Things are even better with third-party headphones. Thus, in the test Kingston HyperX Cloud the sound turned out to be much richer and more voluminous, and the frequency range acquired additional contours and depth.

As for the earpiece speaker, it is quite good: moderately loud, capable of providing pleasant sound transmission. However, you need to take into account the quality of the telecom operator and the condition of the interlocutor’s phone.

Camera

Fly IQ4516 Octa is equipped with two very good cameras. At the same time, the engineers still managed to fit the entire digital modules into a housing just over 5 mm wide.

Thus, the main camera of the smartphone is represented by an 8-megapixel module with an f/2.2 aperture, autofocus and a single LED flash. It is capable of recording video with a resolution of up to 1080p at 30 fps. There is also support for HDR photography mode.

The front camera is based on a 5-megapixel module with an f/2.4 aperture, fixed focus and self-timer, which is capable of recording video with a resolution of 1080p at a speed of 30 fps. In addition, the camera has a very wide viewing angle, so up to 4-5 people can be included in the frame without any problems. Such characteristics are more than enough not only for conducting all kinds of web conferences and video calls, but also for taking quite good self-portraits.

In general, the resulting photo and video materials are of good quality and do not raise any special complaints. The captured picture is pleasantly pleasing with natural color rendition and good detail. The only thing that disappoints is the level of sharpness. Camera modules are very sensitive to shaking, which causes a noticeable decrease in image sharpness. Activating electronic stabilization improves the situation a little, but sometimes it is not able to completely cope with the problem. In contrast, the operation of the “HDR” mode is different. It successfully fulfills its direct responsibilities, brightening dark areas of the photo well.

The proprietary software, which is responsible for controlling the operation of the cameras, is distinguished by its simplicity of execution and intuitive interface. The menu has a good set of functions and preset operating modes. Separately, it is worth noting the built-in application called “Editor”, which provides a number of opportunities for improving photos, including previewing the result. In addition, this program has the function of converting photos to PDF files.

User interface

The Fly Tornado Slim smartphone comes with pre-installed Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS, which is complemented by the proprietary Fly Launcher 3 shell. This tandem looks bright and very attractive, offering the user a good set of functions and capabilities.

Compared to the basic version of the Android operating system, the shell has undergone a number of noticeable changes. For example, a significant difference is the absence of the usual application menu, since after installation the selected programs immediately go to the desktop. In addition, after a long press on the screen, the user is redirected to the widgets section, and changing the wallpaper and personalizing the interface occurs through a special context menu. It is worth noting that through this menu you can also access system settings.

In addition, the familiar notification shade has undergone a slight change. Now there is quick access to a huge list of useful functions that can be edited and customized based on your needs and tasks.

And, perhaps, the last but not least important difference from the stock operating system is the large number of pre-installed applications. Some programs can be easily uninstalled, but some are still protected from deletion. And this is a rather controversial decision. On the one hand, an experienced user will be able to independently determine which applications he needs to install on the device first, and which ones he can discard. But on the other hand, for beginners in the Android OS environment, a pre-installed set of programs will be more of an advantage than a disadvantage, since it will allow you to start using the device right after purchase.

The smartphone settings menu is divided into two tabs: “General” and “All”. The first section contains the most popular and frequently used functions, according to developers, while the second contains a complete list of settings specific to the Android operating system. From this variety of possibilities, it is worth highlighting several very interesting functions. Firstly, this is a pretty good power saving mode, offering precise control over the process of saving battery power. Secondly, there is a submenu for setting up the recognition of “smart” gestures, the activation of which allows you to perform quick actions in sleep mode by simply drawing programmed characters on the smartphone screen. And finally, a section of the menu for setting up the display of notifications on the lock screen, as well as a submenu where you can activate the glove support function.

The speed of the operating system is generally not particularly satisfactory. With the exception of infrequent slowdowns when launching heavy applications and in some places the animation is not smooth enough.

In general, the functionality of a smartphone running Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS with the proprietary Fly Launcher 3 shell can be considered quite sufficient for everyday use, and working with it should not cause any particular difficulties not only for experienced users, but also for beginners.

Hardware platform and performance

In addition to its unique design, Fly IQ4516 Octa has a fairly powerful hardware platform. The smartphone is built on an 8-core MediaTek MT6592 processor with an operating clock frequency of 1.7 GHz and a 1 MB L2 cache memory. It is manufactured based on ARM Cortex-A7 microarchitecture in accordance with the 28nm process technology. The video accelerator is the built-in ARM Mali-450 MP graphics adapter with an operating clock frequency of 650 MHz and support for OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG 1.1. The smartphone's RAM capacity is 1 GB. The device is also equipped with a built-in memory of 16 GB, of which only 9.76 GB is available to the user. There is no support for memory cards, but you can connect a USB drive that supports the OTG specification.

As for the performance of the Fly IQ4516 Octa itself, it is more than enough to perform absolutely all everyday tasks. The device easily copes with viewing HD content, checking email and surfing the Internet, as well as running more demanding applications. For example, such hits as Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8: Airborne at high graphics settings are capable of producing good picture quality and fairly smooth gameplay, although in particularly difficult moments there is a slight drop in the FPS level to 20-22 fps. In our opinion, this may be due to the relatively small amount of RAM and poor software optimization, since in most cases, out of 1 GB of RAM, only about 250-300 MB are free.

Out of the box, the smartphone supports a wide range of video and audio formats, as evidenced by the results of the AnTuTu Video Tester version 2.2 benchmark.

During active testing, we noticed noticeable, but by no means critical, heating of the case. When the load is high enough, the front part of the smartphone heats up, as well as the upper half of the back side near the camera. This is primarily due to the minimal thickness of the device and the productive hardware platform.

Communications

The Fly IQ4516 Octa model can work with all the most common mobile networks, with the exception of high-speed 4G LTE.

The smartphone is equipped with a single radio module that supports one Micro-SIM card. During test calls, voice quality was at a high level from both the interlocutor and the user. There were no extraneous noises, interference, interruptions or spontaneous resets. However, we should not forget that this parameter largely depends on the telecom operator used and the telephone number of the interlocutor.

The set of communication capabilities of the device is represented by Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n modules. The latter has support for the Wi-Fi Hotspot function, but is capable of operating only in one frequency range - 2.4 GHz. DLNA support is also traditionally present.

The data transfer speed over Wi-Fi (wired connection 100 Mbit/s, router supporting the 802.11n standard) shows quite high results: up to 54 Mbit/s for receiving and up to 45 Mbit/s for sending. Searching for points and connecting to them occurs instantly, and the established connection has good stability.

In addition, the Fly IQ4516 Octa smartphone is equipped with a fairly good GPS module. It is capable of providing a good level of performance, as well as fast search and high-quality communication with satellites. For example, on average during testing the device found about 11 satellites and successfully connected to 8 of them. At the same time, the accuracy of location determination reached an error of only 4 meters.

Autonomous operation

Despite the record thinness of the case, the tested model is equipped with a good non-removable lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 2050 mAh. Under moderate load while performing everyday tasks (surfing the Internet, checking email, watching videos and listening to music), this capacity is enough for about a day of battery life. Considering the screen size and a fairly powerful hardware platform, this is a very good result.

Testing the battery life of the device showed the following results. While watching HD video at 50% display brightness and Wi-Fi and GPS modules turned on, the smartphone worked for a little more than 7 hours. In the case of a gaming simulation using Epic Citadel ("Guided Tour" mode), with 100% display brightness and Wi-Fi and GPS modules turned on, the device lasted almost 3 hours. The estimated battery life according to the PCMark benchmark (document editing, typing, photo processing, etc.) is just over 4 hours at maximum display brightness. The no less popular benchmark GFXBench shows a result of 135 minutes. To restore the original condition and fully charge the battery, you need to spend about 2.5 hours using the adapter included in the package.

Results

A comprehensive introduction to your smartphone FlyTornadoSlim(IQ4516 Octa) only confirmed the feeling of the uniqueness of this device. The device showed itself well and left a pleasant impression.

Thus, the new product boasts a stylish monolithic body, the basis of which is a combination of tempered glass and metal. Thanks to its thickness of 5.15 mm, the device rightfully entered the pages of the world-famous Guinness Book of Records. In addition, the smartphone is equipped with an excellent 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of 306 ppi, which provides excellent image quality. The device also has a good 8-megapixel camera that can please the user with pleasant and very high-quality photo and video materials.

Despite the miniature thickness of the case, the smartphone received a fairly powerful hardware platform. The tandem of the 8-core MediaTek MT6592 processor and the integrated ARM Mali-450 MP graphics adapter not only copes with everyday tasks with ease, but also fights equally demanding applications such as modern games. In addition, it’s nice to see that reducing the thickness of the device did not harm the battery capacity. The battery life of the new product is comparable to its main competitors. Like most modern gadgets, Fly Tornado Slim has some disadvantages. First of all, I was frankly surprised by the lack of an expansion slot for memory cards, since 16 GB of internal memory may seem too small for some users. However, it is good that there is support for the USB OTG specification. Secondly, we note a set of pre-installed applications, some of which cannot be removed. Experienced users will be more disappointed than pleased with this solution. But a radically opposite opinion will be formed by newcomers who will appreciate such care from Fly.

Otherwise, there are no complaints about the Fly Tornado Slim smartphone. This is a modern and high-quality gadget that can provide not only a good level of performance, but also stand out from its competitors with a unique design.

Advantages:

• stylish appearance;
• excellent build quality;
• small dimensions and weight;
• excellent 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of 306 ppi;
• Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protective glass with good oleophobic coating;

• good camera with electronic image stabilization;
• high level of productivity;
• Availability of a high-quality GPS module;
• USB OTG specification support;
• good level of battery life (taking into account the thickness of the case).

Peculiarities:

• The thickness of the smartphone case is a unique 5.15 mm, which is officially listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Flaws:

• lack of a slot for memory cards.

We express our gratitude to the Ukrainian representative office of the companyFly for the smartphone provided for testing.
