Introduction
Last year, a miniature smartphone from Vobis Computer (Highscreen) came out, accidentally left without my attention. However, no wonder: many observers have bypassed it, because the gadget has rather simple technical characteristics. At the moment, Pure J costs less than 3,000 rubles. For whom is this model suitable? It seems to me that those who are completely uninterested in processors, chips, memory, IPS or AMOLED matrices, cameras, and so on, but Android is important to install a couple of important programs, two SIM cards, extremely small dimensions and at least a more or less decent appearance . Of course, the design of Pure J is also not all right, but the user can choose one of the five colors of the back cover: black, white, orange, blue or yellow.
Design, dimensions, controls
The Pure J smartphone inherits the design of the Pure F, which, in turn, retained the external resemblance to the Jolla device on Sailfish OS. That is, the case consists of two halves: the back side is rectangular, and the reverse side is flat, but the corners are decorated with a semicircle. It turns out a two-layer "pie". Looks good.
As I wrote in the introduction, the device is available in several colors, or rather, covers of different colors are available. Alas, you will not find an additional panel in the kit, but it would be great, since Highscreen has already experimented in this direction. Probably, the manufacturer tried to save as much as possible on Pure J. As far as I know, all covers are matte, pleasant to the touch, the colors are quite bright.
Dimensions are small - 111x61x9.9 mm, after "shovels" like Samsung Galaxy Note, LG G4 or Meizu Pro Highscreen it seems so small and easy to use that there is a desire to use it for some time. However, it disappears when it becomes necessary to quickly type text on the keyboard, take photos, post them to colleagues at work, or something similar.
The weight of the phone is 115 grams, about the same as the Apple iPhone 5.
Despite the low cost, the Pure J screen has an oleophobic coating, and it is of good quality: prints are almost invisible, they are erased quickly, and the finger glides easily. Material - glass.
Assembled Pure J for a triple with a plus or a four with a minus. Over time, the lid began to creak. Everything else is good.
The loudspeaker is in the top center. It has a volume slightly above average, the quality is so-so: it creaks on ringing notes, the sound is booming. To the right of the speaker is the front camera.
Below the display are the control buttons. They are not illuminated, marked with silver paint.
Microphone - on the bottom, microUSB and 3.5 mm - on the top. On the left is the volume rocker, on the right is the power button. Relatively easy to use. Material - black glossy plastic.
On the reverse side there is a camera recessed into the case, a small LED flash, a slot where the speaker is located.
The back panel is removable. Below it at the top are slots for microSIM and miniSIM, as well as a microSD slot.
Display
This device uses a 3.5-inch screen. The physical size is 74x49 mm, the frame on top is 17 mm, on the bottom is 19 mm, on the right and left are about 6 mm each. There is no anti-reflective coating.
The Pure J display resolution from Highscreen is HVGA, that is, 320x480 pixels, the aspect ratio is 3:2, and the density is 164 pixels per inch. The matrix is not IPS, with an air gap.
The maximum brightness of white color is 350 cd/m2, the maximum brightness of black color is 0.65 cd/m2. Contrast - 550:1.
Since the matrix is not IPS, the picture, frankly, is disappointing: when the display deviates from itself, the colors fade sharply, when tilted towards itself, they are sharply inverted. The touch layer fulfills 2 touches.
Battery
This model uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with a capacity of 1300 mAh. The manufacturer does not provide data on battery life.
In my conditions, Highscreen Pure J "lived" for about 8-9 hours: for the whole time about an hour of calls, 4-5 hours of 3G, a couple of hours of Wi-Fi, a camera - 20 minutes, about an hour of listening to music. In a more gentle mode, Pure F functions until the evening.
From a regular network adapter, the smartphone is charged up to 100% in about two hours.
Communication options
The device supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz); 3G/HSPA+ (900/2100 MHz). Otherwise, a typical Android set: Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS (satellites are reluctant to look for, but the accuracy is good). OTG mode does not work.
Memory and memory card
Inside, there is only 256 MB of RAM, which is only enough for a couple of applications in the background. Built-in memory is also small - 512 MB. Unfortunately, the camera will require a memory card to work, and for everything else. Naturally, there was a slot for it, the maximum volume is 32 GB.
cameras
The Highscreen Pure J device is equipped with two camera modules: the main one with 2 MP without autofocus, the front one with 0.3 MP. There is a flash.
The camera modules in this device are pain and sadness. Instead of 2 MP, there is probably 0.3 MP here (interpolation). If you take a picture of a sheet of A4 format, where the text is printed in 12-14 font, then most likely it will be difficult to make out the letters.
The device records video at a resolution of 854x480 pixels at 15 frames per second. The sound is excellent. The quality of the video is definitely higher than the photo. Therefore, it is better to make mini-rolls than photos :)
Photo examples
Performance
The Highscreen Pure F smartphone runs on the old Taiwanese MediaTek MT6572M chipset. It uses a dual-core processor with a clock speed of 1 GHz for each core. The graphics are Mali-400.
The interface slows down a little, slows down, there are shell friezes. By itself, the smartphone is slow, it is difficult to perform certain functions. But if the memory is not clogged with applications, then Pure J can be used without problems.
If we talk about games, it is better to put the simplest ones, something from the “Runner” series (run and collect coins). However, in these cases, slowdowns are also observed - apparently due to a lack of RAM.
Quadrant test and brief information
Software platform
In this case, the device runs on Google Android version 4.4.2. Definitely an outdated system. Unfortunately, there are no updates. Moreover, even “bugfixes” did not “arrive”.
Multimedia
The music player is standard. The volume of the speaker is average, the quality is low. Headphone volume is slightly above average. The quality is normal for such devices. We must listen. I like it. The radio is present. It is desirable to "feed" the video with a resolution not higher than 640x480 pixels with a bit rate of up to 5 Mbps.
Conclusion
The quality of the connection did not raise any complaints. The vibrating alert is powerful enough for a small device.
I think, dear readers, you have understood all the pros and cons of this smartphone by reading the technical specifications, so I will not take your time. It makes sense to buy a Pure J device in two cases: if you are too constrained in the budget or if you, as young parents, purchase it for a child. It seems to me that the latter option will be quite interesting: the gadget is cheap, but the child will receive a simple, but still a smartphone with games, programs and a music player.

Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - device position sensor in space. As a main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, the G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled by various functions of the device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures the angles of rotation relative to a fixed coordinate system. Able to measure rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices that use only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially when moving quickly. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor, thanks to which the optimal values of brightness and contrast are set for a given level of illumination. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.

Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for orientation in the area.
Atmospheric pressure sensor- sensor for accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location.
touch ID- Fingerprint identification sensor.
Accelerometer
Satellite navigation:
GPS(Global Positioning System - global positioning system) - a satellite navigation system that measures distance, time, speed and determines the location of objects anywhere on the Earth. The system was developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring the distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated from the signal propagation delay time from sending it by the satellite to receiving it by the GPS receiver antenna.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation and time support for ground, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronism) with the Earth's rotation, which provides them with greater stability.

Package
HIGHSCREEN PURE J is sold in a beige box that is already familiar to us. Its overall dimensions are small and amount to 134x75x52 millimeters, while the weight is 256 grams.
On the top side there is an image of the device without a back cover, here you can find information about the processor, battery, camera, networks, the amount of built-in and RAM. At the very bottom is the address of the official website and the name of the model.
On the left side there is a sticker with three barcodes. In the upper right corner is a circle marking the color of the model. In this case, the smartphone is black.
On the right side there is only the name of the model.
The model name is also duplicated on the back and front side.
On the bottom side there is a model name, a barcode, a QR code, a website address, a place of assembly and development. There is also information that the amount of available memory is less than stated in the technical specifications, since some of it is used by the smartphone's operating system.
The box is packed in transparent plastic, so there is no need to fix the top cover with stickers, as you can see on previous models.
The packaging is compact, the description of the technical characteristics is partially present. There is even a HIGHSCREEN PURE J image, too bad it's not in color. The box is made in the style of past models, there is nothing new here.
Equipment
HIGHSCREEN PURE J has a small package. It includes:
- documentation
- USB network adapter
- headset
- microUSB to USB cable
As in previous models, the HIGHSCREEN PURE J documentation has been expanded. In addition to the Quick Start Guide and Warranty Card, it includes two sheets of additional information. The first shows the correspondence between slots for SIM and flash cards, and the second shows a list of pages in all popular social networks where you can find out the news from HIGHSCREEN.
The headset is not of particular value, and here only for show.
All components are packed in separate plastic bags.
Appearance
HIGHSCREEN PURE J has a rectangular shape, the corners are not rounded. The overall dimensions of the smartphone are 61.6x111x9.9 millimeters, and the weight is 115 grams.
Almost the entire area of the front side is occupied by a 3.5-inch screen. On the sides, the edging is 4 millimeters, below and above 16 millimeters.
On top of HIGHSCREEN PURE J there is a speaker hole, and on the right is a 0.3 MP front camera.
Below are three touch buttons highlighted in white. Even in low light, they are clearly visible.
On the left side of HIGHSCREEN PURE J there is a volume control key.
On the right side you can see the lock / power button.
These controls protrude one millimeter from the case and are therefore easy to find with your finger.
On the top side there is a 3.5 mm mini-jack headset jack and a microUSB port for synchronizing the device with a computer and charging.
On the bottom side there is only a microphone hole and a rectangular slot designed for easy removal of the back cover.
The back panel of HIGHSCREEN PURE J is made of matte black plastic.
In the top center is the main camera 2 MP, below - LED flash.
The HIGHSCREEN logo is placed vertically in the center of the rear panel.
There is a three-row perforation on the bottom, used as a speaker grille.
Removing the rear panel, you can see the slot for a micro SD / micro SDHC flash card. To the right are two slots for SIM-cards. The most interesting thing here is that HIGHSCREEN PURE J can simultaneously use two different SIM card form factors: mini-SIM and micro-SIM.
The battery in the smartphone is removable at 1300 mAh. Under it is a sticker with serial numbers.
At the very bottom you can see the speaker hole.
A little off topic, I want to say that HIGHSCREEN PURE J has several color options: white, black, orange, yellow and blue.
Appearance HIGHSCREEN PURE J practically does not differ from the previous models of the company. There are no questions about the assembly, all parts fit snugly together.
Screen
The HIGHSCREEN PURE J uses a TFT screen. Its diagonal is 3.5 inches, and the resolution is 480x200 pixels. Lights on the sides are present, but not very noticeable.
The quality of the picture is at a satisfactory level. The display supports the simultaneous touch of up to two fingers, this is quite enough to perform the simplest operations for which this smartphone is intended.
When exposed to direct sunlight, the image on the screen becomes dark and therefore partially invisible.
The sensor is fast and sensitive.
Clearly, the HIGHSCREEN PURE J screen is far from ideal, but in the range of budget smartphones it looks pretty decent.
Interface
HIGHSCREEN PURE J runs on Android 4.4 operating system. Immediately after turning on the smartphone, the HIGHSCREEN branded splash screen appears on the screen, which is known to us from previous models. After that, you need to go through a short account registration, by the way, you can skip it.
HIGHSCREEN PURE J comes pre-installed with one desktop.
The standard set of applications is located on two menu pages.
The settings menu has a familiar look.
The menu bar with quick settings looks like cells, it contains all the necessary elements.
With a long touch on the main screen, you can go to the main page control menu. Here you can change the wallpaper, as well as get quick access to widgets and settings.
The smartphone has a very wide range of wallpapers.
The interface of HIGHSCREEN PURE J is quite familiar, it is not difficult to navigate the menu at all. The layout and design is the same as on other Android devices.
Usage
Since the rear panel is slightly expanded, the smartphone is comfortable to hold, which is especially important when making calls.
As I said earlier, the device has modest dimensions, and thanks to this, HIGHSCREEN PURE J will fit even in a small trouser pocket or bag.
As expected, the quality of communication at the level. The subscriber is perfectly audible not only through the speaker, but also through the headset that comes with the kit. In general, the ability to use SIM-cards of two different formats in one case turned out to be very convenient, especially if you take such a phone on a trip.
Web surfing is possible, pages open quickly enough, delays in work begin while browsing several pages at the same time. Of course, the screen is small, but it is possible to view the necessary information.
Games run, but not with complex graphics. But there were no casual problems.
Again, I repeat that due to the small diagonal of the screen, the gameplay can be difficult. Naturally, if you buy a smartphone for the game, it will be a completely different model and, accordingly, a different price.
Camera
HIGHSCREEN PURE J has two cameras. The main one is 2 megapixels equipped with LED flash, and the front one is 0.3 megapixels. The quality of the picture during video calls is quite sufficient to see the interlocutor, and more is not needed. As for the main one, the quality of pictures and videos leaves much to be desired. But for a device with such a low price, this is the norm.
Camera settings turned out to be more than expected.
Photo in normal lighting.
Photos taken in low light conditions.

Greetings, dear readers!
Nowadays, when buying a smartphone, a person tries to take the most productive device with high technical characteristics. Therefore, the main part of the market is occupied by such smartphones. But, there are even simpler models, not quite “wooden”, but the language does not dare to call them “top-end”. And such smartphones have the “right to life” (after all, not everyone needs a “top-end” smartphone, but at the same time, they also do not want to be content with ordinary mobile phones). One such smartphone from the company VOBIS today will be discussed in my review, namely, the Highscreen Pure J.

Packaging and appearance of the device.
The smartphone is delivered in an “old format” box (on the front side of the box, a smartphone is shown “in section” (with an indication of the location of the elements and main technical characteristics)). The box is made of thick cardboard (during transportation, the smartphone is reliably protected from damage that can cause various physical impacts). The main color of the box is beige. In addition to the cut-away image of the smartphone, the name of the brand and model of the smartphone is printed on the front side of the box. There is also a link to the official website of the manufacturer. 
There is no information on the sides of the box, except for the brand name and smartphone model. 
On the top and bottom sides of the box there are stickers with some information about the smartphone: smartphone model, color, serial number, smartphone IMEI. 
On the back of the box, in addition to the smartphone model and brand name, there is information about the country of origin (Russia) and the country of manufacture (China), the barcode of the product and a link to the official website. Also, the manufacturer warns us that the smartphone's memory capacity is less than stated in the technical specifications, since part of the memory is reserved for the smartphone's operating system. 
Inside the box, in a simple cardboard backing, is our smartphone. 
The package includes: smartphone, power adapter (charger), micro USB cable, wired stereo headset, user manual and warranty card. 
The Highscreen Pure J smartphone is a very compact, I would even say, miniature smartphone with a screen diagonal of 3.5 inches (considering that at the moment most smartphones have a screen diagonal of 5" or more). This smartphone fits easily in the hand of an adult. the smartphone is easy to operate with one hand, regardless of whether you are right-handed or left-handed (you can easily reach any of the corners of the screen with your thumb without much effort). 
At the top of the smartphone is a camera for video calls (0.3 MP) and earpiece. 
At the bottom of the smartphone, there are three control buttons (from left to right: back, home, start widgets). 
At the end of the bottom of the smartphone there is a hole for the microphone and a small rectangular notch designed to make it easier to remove the back cover. 
On the side ends of the smartphone are the power / lock button and the volume rocker.
At the top of the smartphone there is a headset jack (mini-jack 3.5) and a micro USB jack for connecting to a personal computer or charger.
The back side of the smartphone (cover) is made of black matte plastic. In the middle there is a "stamped" inscription highscreen. 
At the top is the main 2 megapixel camera. Immediately below it is an LED flash. 
At the bottom there is a perforated “line”, almost the entire width of the smartphone, behind which is the second speaker (looking ahead, I want to say that the speaker itself is several times smaller than the perforation made for it in the back cover). 
Behind the back cover is a removable battery, a slot for a memory card (microSD or microSDHC) and two slots for installing SIM cards (slots for different types of SIM cards: micro-SIM and mini-SIM). 
The smartphone charger is quite standard. The smartphone battery charge voltage is 5V at a maximum current of 750 mA. 
The micro USB cable is also standard, so I won't dwell on it too much. 
Wired stereo headset "made for the minimalist." The headset wires are very thin and have PVC insulation (when used in winter conditions, the headset will become unusable very quickly). 
This headset also has a microphone, an answer button and a clip for attaching the microphone to clothing. The microphone turned out to be very solid, there is practically no extraneous noise during a conversation (which was extremely surprising, considering the budget of the bundled headset.) 
Headphones are just a "pain". There are no rubber plugs on the headphones, or at least ear cushions. In the ears, the headphones sit badly and do not really hold, in general, sheer discomfort for the auricles, and nothing more. The sound of music in these headphones can be rated as “good” (for such budget headsets). 
Smartphone screen.
Smartphone Highscreen Pure J has a TFT screen with a diagonal of 3.5 inches. There is no protective coating on the screen (collects fingerprints and scratches), so the purchase of a protective film is necessary. Screen resolution 480*320 pixels. The pixel density is 165 (164.83) ppi (pixeis per inch - the number of pixels per inch). The quality of the picture is tolerable. The viewing angles of the smartphone are small. Even with a slight deviation, there is a decent color distortion (budget smartphone - budget matrix). 
Testing the screen for the ability to work with multiple touches using the MultiTouchTester utility showed that it is possible to work with only two touch points at the same time - it is quite enough to perform simple actions. 
Smartphone interface and software shell.
The Highscreen Pure J smartphone comes pre-installed with Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat. There is no additional pre-installed software, which is good news. 
All installed applications fit on two desktop screens. 
All the main menus of the OS are standard, so I won’t dwell on them too much. 
The built-in memory of the smartphone is very small - out of 512 MB, only 147 MB is available to the user, and only 111 MB are free of them, so a memory card is simply "vital". The memory capacity can be increased by installing a microSD memory card. The smartphone supports memory cards up to 32 GB. 
Basic information about the smartphone can be found in the "About phone" tab. 
Testing the GPS module.
Location determination by means of the GPS module in this smartphone is implemented quite well. 1 minute after the “cold” start, the smartphone detected 6 satellites (while the smartphone was 4 meters from the window, in an apartment located on the 4th floor of a 5-storey panel house). 
Cameras.
The smartphone has two cameras: 2 megapixel main camera and 0.3 megapixel camera for video calls. The camera menu has a small list of different settings.
