[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Review (part 1)

Introduction

This is the UHANS A6.

Hardware

The device is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 SOC clocked at 1.30GHz, a bit outdated and slower compared to the MT6737, together with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM, and a 5.5 inches HD screen. It can be considered as an A101s big brother, with a much larger battery and a Metal Body. (together with other improvements)

Unboxing

Packaging comes with basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Glass Screen Protector with wipes and the Smartphone (of course). A TPU Cover is included too.

Talking about the dimensions, the device isn't the smallest ever made by UHANS, but with its huge internal battery, this was expected, and it is not too thick either. 15.4x7.76x1.05cm, with decent bezels, and weights 204g.

The device feels pretty solid, with the usual great design from UHANS and an amazing back cover almost identical to the one found on the OnePlus One. It isn't the best material for grip though, but i love it. I would like to see the same back cover texture on other devices too.

On the front side there is the usual 2.5D Curved Display and the upper front side of the device features the Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Unfortunately there isn't any Notification LED.

On the lower front side there is the classic soft-keys zone, with Recents, Home and Back buttons.

On the back side there is the removable back cover, and the battery is removable. The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Single-LED Flashlight, with the Fingerprint Sensor below the Camera Sensor.

On the lower rear side there is the UHANS logo with nothing else because the Speaker is located on the bottom.

Device

Screen

The screen is OK, unfortunately due to the HD-only res the pixel density is low thus you may notice some pixels. Its quality is good though, with an overall balanced color accuracy and white balance.

The Light Sensor supports partial light changes, with a sufficient auto-brightness management. This is its maximum brightness.

Viewing Angles matches IPS screen capabilities, nothing to complain about.

Camera

Being the first device i ever test with this Samsung 8MP camera sensor, i must say that the results are impressive. OK, the noise level is high and low-light shots are just awful, but the color accuracy and image detail (without zooming) is great considering the price target. I guess with some OTA updates this can get even better.

As regards the HDR mode, it works decently well but sometimes it adds a blue-tint to the image.

The Single-LED Flashlight is powerful, nothing to complain about.

As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are recorded at 25fps, with the same noise level i mentioned before and so on.

Unexpectedly, also the Front Facing camera (GalaxyCore 5MP) is decent for random shots and video-chat, just do not expect superb quality.

Audio

Speaker is decent, produces a nice balanced sound, and is loud enough. It lacks low frequencies as always.

In-Call Quality is decent, no complains about it. Everyone was able to hear me perfectly and Microphone Quality seems to be ok.

GPS

GPS quality is mediocre, with a sufficient amount of satellites locked outdoors and almost inexistent signal indoors.

Outdoors on the left, Indoors of the right.

Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi

This device doesn't support 4G networks, so you have to use your old 3G HSPA+ (42MBps max) connection to use your Mobile Data plan.

Signal Reception is accurate, but 3G coverage is just perfect here where i live so that's something i would have expected. Just like what happens with other devices, 3G Network Speed is low, thanks to my crappy Mobile Network that has lower than average 3G performance.

WiFi 5GHz isn't supported here. With my 2.4GHz network, i was able to reach ~35mbps, connected at 65mbps, not the best result, neither the worst.

Battery Life

As always, i measure the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity is way higher than the declared value (declared 4150mAh, real ~4620mAh).

Luckily, PCMark run just fine on this device even though it is running Android Nougat. Other Mediatek Devices with Nougat (and also some with Marshmallow) caused the Benchmark to stop by itself after some hours. The result is not superb considering the huge battery inside. an OTA update might be required to adjust the power management.

As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger takes a long while to charge the device completely as expected.

Software

Following the A101s little brother, also this one comes with an almost completely clean Android OS, and most important, based on Nougat 7.0. There is no bloatware pre-installed, and security patches are dated 5th of May 2017.

All Mediatek features are still there such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…

No Malwares Detected using MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

The Fingerprint Scanner is sufficiently. I managed to unlock the screen almost everytime (8 out of 10). As regards the unlock speed, it is almost instant.

The device feels smooth enough for almost every task, i am still impressed to see an MT6580 device running Nougat without any major issue.​
