Hey guys!
This is Tech Brothers.
Vernee company is very active recently.
This chinese manufacturer releases a lot of smartphones for the last time, such as Vernee
Thor Plus, Vernee Mix, and others.
Today we want to talk about another new smartphone Vernee M5.
We received this smartphone some days ago from our partner GearBest online store.
In description, under the video, you can find links where to buy Vernee M5 cheaper.
Vernee M5 is budget smartphone, and it doesn’t have any latest features, like bezel-less
design, dual rear camera, etc.
At first glance, it is regular Android smartphone without any features.
So, let’s review it, and find out is it true or not.
The smartphone comes in white box.
Here we can see company logo on the front panel.
On the back there is specification list.
Let’s open the box, and see what’s inside.
Here we meet smartphone.
It has factory film on both front and back panels.
We look at design of smartphone later.
Under the smartphone we can see USB cable, power adapter, user manual, and sim needle.
It’s a pitty, but there is not headphones and silicone case.
If the headphones is not necessary, because they are often bad quality, though silicone
case would be very useful.
Vernee M5 is made of plastic, that looks like metal.
It is really think smartphone, with 6.9 mm.
Most of other budget devices have thicker bodies.
It is not bezel-less phone, so there is frame on the left and right of display.
However, they are almost invisible, thanks to 2.5D effect of protective glass.
Also, you should note that there is no Home button, and fingerprint sensor is located
on the back.
On the right side you can find power key and volume rocker.
The slot for sim card is on the left side.
It is hybrid slot, so you can use dual SIM card, or one sim card and microSD memory card.
Despite thin body, Vernee M5 has 3.5 mm audio jack on the top.
At the bottom is microUSB port, and holes for speaker and microphone.
On the back panel of Vernee M5 is everything standard: the main camera sensor in the middle,
fingerprint sensor under camera, and to the left is LED flash.
Plastic inserts for antenass are very thin and stretched horizontally.
So, Vernee M5 doesn’t have metal body, dual rear camera or bezel-less design, however,
thanks to its 5.2 inch display and think body, it looks and feels very good.
As I already said, Vernee M5 comes with 5.2 inches HD display.
Its neither too wide, like 5.5 inches, not to narrow, like 5 inches, so it is very confortable
to hold and use with one hand.
Its an IPS LCD panel, which has 2.5D glass on top.
The colors and brightness are decent with good amount of saturation.
The resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels.
Yes, it is not Full HD, but not many people will feel the difference at this size.
Vernee M5 is powered by very common processor for budget Chinese smartphone – MediaTek
MT670.
It provides good performance for budget device, thanks to eight cores with clock speed 1.5 GHz.
One of the main feature of this chipset is integrated modem with supporting 4G LTE Category
6 networks.
It has download speed up to 300 MBps.
The chipset can handle most intensive processing without any lags.
Also it has not problems with heating.
The maximum temperature it reaches up to 44 degrees.
Vernee M5 comes with 4GB of RAM for multitasking, and 64GB of internal storage with support
microSD card up to 128 GB.
Now, let’s see some benchmarks.
New smartphone has about in AnTutu.
It is really good result for budget smartphone, As for geekbench 4, here we can see in single
core test, and in multi core test.
Later we will make video with performance test of this smartphone, and show you all
benchmarks and real gaming experience.
Vernee M5 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat with VOS UI on top.
It is user interface from Vernee, that does not differ much from stock Android.
There is no unneccessary Chinese apps.
However, you will get security updates and fixes through OTA.
The inferface works very fast and smoothly.
I don’t notice any problems while testing smartphone.
Vernee company says, that new smartphone can take photos no worse than Samsung Galaxy J5
2017.
Perhaps, it is true, because specifications are almost identical.
Vernee M5 comes with 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera.
The camera app looks similar to other Chinese smartphones.
Here you can find different modes, such as HDP, panorama, and other settings, like photo
and video resolution.
At the moment we can not tell you about camera quality.
We have to test it, and then talk about photo quality.
Later, we will publish video with detailed camera test of Vernee M5.
Despite very thin body, Vernee M5 is equipped with good battery capacity of 3300 mAh.
I should say, that OnePlus 5 has much more bigger sizes, and it received a battery of
similar capacity.
The manufacturer promises about 240 hours of standby time, or 13 hours of playtime video.
Please, check out the description, under the video, perhaps, we already made video with
battery test.
We plan to publish this video in coming days.
What can I say about Vernee M5?
It seems very simple Android smartphone for the second half of 2017.
It doesn’t have latest features, like bezel-less design or dual rear camera.
However, we know that dual rear camera on budget smartphones is often fake, so I'm not
upset.
As for design, Vernee M5 has very thin body, and compact size, so it is convenient to hold
in hand.
I think it is the most important thing.
So, Vernee M5 looks pretty good for its price.
By the way, the price of this smartphone is about $120.
In description you can find link where to buy cheaper.
And now we finish this video, however we will make at least three other with different tests,
such as performance, camera and battery.
Please, check out description to watch other videos with this smartphone.
Thanks for watching!
