A budget gadget for two SIM cards with a more than reasonable price tag (2190 rubles) will certainly find its buyer. The main purpose of the device is to provide inexpensive smartphone potential Tele2 subscribers who do not want or simply cannot pay five thousand or more thousand rubles for a phone with 3G support.
Mini (specifications, performance, autonomy, etc.) does not shine with technical indicators, but, nevertheless, the gadget is quite good for its price. The cost of the device will in any case attract its client, so let’s look at the gadget in more detail in order to decide on the eternal question: “To take it or not to take it?”
So, the hero of today's review is the Tele2 Mini smartphone: details of working with it, basic technical specifications, design, ergonomics and is it worth buying at all. The opinions of experts and reviews of ordinary gadget owners will be taken into account.
Pricing policy
In some regions, the 2G network is not supported by the Tele2 operator, so, unfortunately, part of the audience will be lost. Nevertheless, the ratio of price and characteristics of the device can be described as the standard of a “state employee”. The lion's share of the cost of the gadget is borne by the operator himself, the other part is paid in the form of a subscription fee by the client, and we see the rest of the amount in the store window.
If we take into account the “naked” price, it turns out that for 4-4.5 thousand rubles you buy a Tele2 Mini smartphone. The company refuses to specify who the manufacturer of the gadget is, citing brand policy, but upon careful disassembly of the device, it turned out that 80% of all components belong to the Chinese company Haier.
Positioning
The key task of the device is to provide Tele2 subscribers with access to cellular network like 3G for very modest money. We can say that the Tele2 Mini smartphone coped with this task. Reviews about the price and technical characteristics of the gadget vary greatly on specific forums. Some would prefer to spend this money on a high-quality 3G dialer with buttons or a folding phone, while others are quite happy with this option.
Otherwise, if we look at the Tele2 Mini smartphone from all sides (reviews, technical specifications, etc.), we will see that the range target audience the gadget is extremely wide. This includes children who can use the device as a shovel in the sandbox, and respectable gentlemen who want an inexpensive dialer with smartphone function for two SIM cards. Generally as a gadget entry level this phone will suit many people, and the shortage at official points of sale once again confirms this.
Equipment
Opening the box, you will see a complete set of components for this kind of gadgets: the Tele2 Mini smartphone itself, a case (variable), connecting cable, 0.7 A charger. The kit also includes a detailed manual and a mediocre headset. It’s worth noting right away that with a standard charger, the phone charges in almost three hours, so it’s better to look for some analogue of a 2 amp, which will power the Tele2 Mini smartphone in half an hour.
The characteristics of the headset are very modest: the sound quality is lousy, but you can more or less hear the interlocutor - thanks for that, you don’t need to run around markets/showrooms in search of headphones and obviously spend a lot of money and time. The wires and plugs feel surprisingly durable, and the plug charger does not shake, as is usually the case with Chinese state employees.
I was also pleased with the competently localized and more than detailed instructions manual. The Tele2 Mini smartphone as a whole is 100% complete, so after purchasing there is no need to buy anything in addition - pay and use it.
Design
As for weight, there are no surprises here. For a 4-inch model, the phone weighs quite normally - 111 grams. The corners of the device have straight outlines, and the body resembles a classic “boat” - all this looks more or less modern, in contrast to “soap dishes” rounded on all sides.
The only thing that was a little surprising was the protruding camera window: the 2-megapixel peephole without autofocus could have been made flush. Otherwise, we have a completely ordinary Tele2 Mini smartphone. Reviews about the design vary greatly: some don’t even care what the dialer looks like for such a ridiculous price, while others make clear demands for the money spent.
Design
The design as a whole has no complaints - everything is boring and nothing interesting. There are no backlashes, cracks are not visually visible, the parts are tightly in place, no crunches or squeezing were noticed. Rear end The smartphone rustles a little under your fingers, which probably won’t please everyone, but the device doesn’t slip out of your hands and that’s okay.
The housing layout is standard - a tray with a monoblock. Amateur detailed disassembly showed that the Tele2 Mini smartphone (4pda, pdalife, etc.) is equipped with branded (albeit Chinese) components that are signed and numbered, that is, in case of repair they can be replaced without any problems.
The battery of the device is removable. The speaker and multimedia grille turned out just right: the hole is not blocked by other components and sounds are not muffled. On the top edge you can see a headphone jack, and there is also a micro-USB connector.
At the bottom of the device there is only a hole for the microphone, and it is strongly shifted in left side. As for right-handers, this is an ideal option for them, but left-handers will experience some discomfort after purchasing a Tele2 Mini smartphone. Reviews are full of indignation about this and “infringement of the rights” of almost 20% of all clients. But in any case, during a conversation, the palm does not block the microphone hole, so this moment cannot be called critical.
The layout of the mechanical buttons is standard: the multifunctional power key is on the right, and the volume rocker is on the left side. No play or creaking was noticed, but some owners sometimes complain that the buttons are too tight. Still it's better than random clicks in your purse or jeans pocket. The rocker and power button are easy to feel and protrude, as they say, just right.
The Tele2 Mini smartphone (black) has marked white buttons without backlighting - it’s unclear why the manufacturer saved on this point. There is also no LED event indicator, to which the owners responded with a large number of negative reviews.
Display
Despite the outdated TFT matrix, the Tele2 Mini smartphone (black) produces a more or less decent picture, and with slight rotations of the device, the colors on the display are practically not distorted. With a strong change in viewing angle, gamma naturally completely loses its original saturation. Moreover, the darker the image, the stronger the inversion, so with text information(black on a white background) you can work quite comfortably.
The display gives off a certain blueness, and the “branded” wallpaper of the Tele2 operator further aggravates this effect. I was disappointed by the lack of MiraVision technology, which greatly simplifies the work with adjusting the color gamut of the screen; it would have been right at home on this device.
The pixel density per inch is 233 ppi, which is quite good for a budget gadget (mid-price segment devices have from 300 ppi). There is also a protective feature, although it is ineffective: your finger does not slide well across the screen when working with the gadget.
In their reviews, owners consider the “clutteredness” of the text when scrolling quickly, such as flipping through VKontakte or Odnoklassniki feeds, to be the fly in the ointment. Users also noticed some sluggishness when drawing images.
Communications
The owners did not notice any problems with data transfer, and sometimes a thoroughbred smartphone in some basement refused to catch the network, unlike Tele2 Mini, which, albeit with pauses and slowly, continued to work. The manufacturer promises a theoretical maximum data transfer speed of 21.6 Mbit/sec, but in fact it was not possible to squeeze out more than 13 Mbit even next to the tower.
As for Wi-Fi, there are no complaints here - the network works without problems or losses: the sensitivity is average, as is the range.
Secondary Characteristics
The owners have no complaints about the sound: the voice speaker performed well, even outperforming similar mid-level Chinese models. Some complain about color distortion when watching videos on YouTube, but the general mass of owners did not notice a critical difference. In any case, you shouldn’t expect any miracles from an obvious budget employee.
If you use smartphone functions occasionally, then battery enough for quite a decent time, although for such a device the battery could have been made larger - the thickness of the device is not so important here.
To sum it up
In terms of the totality of its capabilities, qualities and functionality, the device more than earns its money’s worth. Take the same 4-inch screen, which these days is simply doomed to popularity. If you are not satisfied with something in the “Tele2 Mini” for 2000 rubles, then you can always exchange it for some iPhone with a “small” surcharge.
An almost identical analogue in our market is the smartphone from MTS “Smart Start 2”, but it costs one thousand rubles more. So if you do not have serious demands on your phone and you need an ordinary “dialer” with the basic capabilities of smart gadgets, then “Tele2 Mini” is a very good option.
Tele2 Mini an ambiguous smartphone from a representative network, which, moreover, has nothing to do with the device at all. The characteristics of the device are quite modest (2 nuclear processor And RAM at 512 MB), however, the price will please almost everyone. Among the positive aspects, it is worth highlighting: all the advantages of using smartphones. And among the minuses: the device is buggy; weak cameras; weak iron; all solutions that deliberately reduce the cost of the design, for example, combining conversational dynamics and musical dynamics. Overall, for a spare device Tele2 Mini It’s quite suitable, but for the main one it’s probably better to choose something a little more expensive and of better quality.

Smartphone Tele2 Mini became the first phone released by the Tele2 operator. The functionality of the presented device pleasantly pleased consumers, and according to the majority, the ratio of cost and quality is more than justified.
Of course, the device does not boast excellent technical characteristics, has a rather modest design and is unlikely to be able to compete with the flagships of famous brands, but it may well be considered the standard of budget smartphones.
It costs only 1,790 rubles. You can buy a smartphone at the company’s office, or make a purchase at.
Who is the gadget suitable for?
This model is an excellent option for users who want to purchase a smartphone with 3G support. The first advantage was low cost, and the second stable connection to the Internet and the availability of the necessary functionality. The presented model is suitable for both work and entertainment.
The smartphone is available in two color variations. Black color is aimed at men, and white is appropriate for the fairer sex. Compared to its successors, this phone is light in weight and has more than compact dimensions, due to the dense placement of components.
The technical side of the coin
Having studied the technical parameters, it becomes clear that Tele2 Mini is a prominent representative of the budget category. It runs on Android version 6.0 (2015), and the camera resolution is far from ideal. In addition, the display size cannot be called huge, but still the phone combines a number of technical features.
Technical parameters include:
- diagonal 4 inches
- Screen resolution 480x800 px
- quad-core processor MTK6580 Quad Core
- Built-in memory 4 GB and RAM 512 MB
- map support MicroSD memory up to 32GB
- support for two SIM cards
- operating system Android 6.0
- main camera 3.2 MP
- front camera 0.3 MP
- work in 3G and 2G networks
- Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n
- Bluetooth 4.0
- FM radio
- battery capacity 1500 mAh
- MicroUSB interface.
In addition to the above, it is worth mentioning the fact that the data reception speed in 3G networks is 21.6 Mbit/s. You can find out more details regarding the functionality, screen, camera, battery and other components in the information below.
What can be found in the kit?
Among the components the user will find:
- the phone itself;
- charging;
- USB cable;
- user instructions;
- battery;
We recommend purchasing a 2A charger in advance, because... The standard device is rated at only 0.7 A, and with its help you will charge your smartphone until it is fully charged in about two hours.
There is also a sticker on the phone display protective film, which is a nice bonus from the manufacturer. It is not at all necessary to tear it off, and replacement may only be required if the characteristics sticker was removed incorrectly.
Appearance
The design is not remarkable for anything ultra modern, the smartphone looks classic and fits comfortably in the hand, and thanks to the corrugated surface of the back side, it is securely held in the hand.
As mentioned above, the phone comes in two color variations, and also has a 4-inch display and slightly rounded edges.
The disadvantage is the protruding camera eye on the back cover; this can lead to the appearance of small scratches on the lens due to constant contact with other surfaces. 
The buttons are located according to the standard layout. In addition to the keys, the front panel contains a front camera and a speaker. The volume and lock buttons are located on the sides of the smartphone. At the top there is a jack for a headset and charging.
Other features include:
— tightness of the housing;
— a corrugated back cover that prevents the phone from slipping out of your hands;
- removable battery; 
Device display
As in most models representing the budget category, the display of this smartphone equipped with a TFT matrix. Appearance The pictures can be called quite good, but when turning, the color palette changes a little. In cases with a strong tilt, there is a strong inversion of colors, which is especially evident in dark pictures, but during normal use of the phone, when we look at it at a right angle, there are no complaints.
If it doesn't matter to you high quality, then the pixel density of 233 ppi will definitely not disappoint, and you will enjoy using this smartphone. The display recognizes two simultaneous touches.
Description of cameras
Unfortunately, the main camera will not please you with the presence of automatic focus, and the shooting resolution has stopped at 3.2 megapixels. But there is the ability to take HDR photos, which will be very useful in backlit situations. The camera app also has a panorama function and 4x digital zoom. The front has a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, which, thanks to the presence of interpolation, easily turns into 1-1.3 megapixels. The advantages of the main lens include:
- good balance of white flowers;
- high-quality images during the day;
- small photo size (about 700 KB);
- HDR shooting;
- excellent quality of captured text
The disadvantages include the poor quality of pictures taken in artificial light. To receive good photos You will need to capture memorable moments in sunlight, or provide bright lighting, while choosing the appropriate angle.
Communication quality
The level of performance can be called quite high, which is manifested in prompt sending of messages and stable reception of calls. The sound from the speakers is also not worthy of criticism. But there are also negative aspects, namely the lack of access to LTE networks, although in the 3G range the smartphone’s operation is not satisfactory. In view of this, you will have to be content with a speed of 21.6 Mbit when receiving information.
The smartphone has two slots for SIM cards. Moreover, one is intended exclusively for the Tele 2 SIM card.
If desired, the device can be unlocked, and for these purposes it is recommended to go to specialists in order to avoid its repair due to independent actions.
But the second slot can accept any SIM card Russian operators. The user will not be able to download a large amount of data via a 3G network. Although an obvious advantage is the uninterrupted viewing of videos on YouTube, and the owner does not need to purchase a modem or router to access the Internet.
Processor and memory
The RAM size is 512 MB, which is extremely insufficient for active use (photo/video shooting). During operation, no slowdowns of the device were detected, and simple applications they work quite well on it.
Full review Tele2 mini phone there won't be. There are already enough of them on specialized sites. I would like to leave a review, my personal impressions of its use. Touch on some key points, sometimes mention technical characteristics, but only to illustrate my point.
Mobile phone Tele2 Mini
Buy this phone I didn’t plan it, but it just so happened that my old one suddenly broke down completely and irrevocably, and I needed the phone urgently. Moreover, not just a push-button dialer, but on Android and with two SIM cards. The options that I would like and that would suit me would have to be ordered on the Internet and wait for some time, but I needed the phone right today. Therefore, I went and within an hour I just got myself such an inexpensive replacement, almost for nothing. In order to eventually put it back as a spare. Moreover, I was indirectly familiar with him (I saw a friend like this) and his simplicity did not frighten me. It cost me 2,190 rubles, although just recently it cost 1,890 rubles in Tele2 communication stores. As they say, it's only cheaper for nothing.
Mobile phone Tele2 Mini
The phone is manufactured by the Chinese company Haier Electrical Appliances Corp., Ltd, under the Tele2 brand. The smartphone can be purchased in black or white. I took the black one. White, in my opinion, is just “girly”. The design is universal, like most competitors. Slightly rounded corners, optimal thickness, the back cover is rough and non-slippery, it’s convenient. Since I have both SIM cards from the Tele2 operator, the phone suits me perfectly. The fact is that the slot for the first SIM card is locked specifically for use by Tele2, 3G works there. The second SIM card can be from any operator, but the Internet on it is only 2G. However, it’s easy to Google a code on the Internet that unlocks the first slot for using a SIM card from any operator. What makes this phone more versatile to use. Both SIM cards are of normal size, plus there is a slot for a memory card. What is absolutely not superfluous: the phone has only 4 GB of memory, of which less than 2 GB is available for programs.
Mobile phone Tele2 Mini
So that the already simple device does not slow down during operation, I installed only the most necessary applications for communication and some entertainment: Viber, Whatsapp, Vkontakte. Plus, an alternative camera CameraMX. It is convenient for me in two ways: you can take pictures by pressing the volume rocker, and there is a One Shot icon, when you click on it, the camera starts and immediately takes pictures. There are few built-in applications, and most of them are just what you need: Chrome browser, mail client Gmail, Google Map and YouTube. Despite the modest characteristics, the phone, surprisingly, works quite quickly. All applications launch without noticeable pauses and work completely adequately. GPS system It also turns on quickly, finds satellites in seconds, and the navigator on Google maps works perfectly. Also in the built-in applications you can find the following: voice recorder, calculator, FM radio, calendar.

A few words about ergonomic mistakes in the design of the Tele2 Mini phone. The power/lock screen key is located on right side phone, and the volume rocker is directly opposite, on the left side. And when you press the power button, the volume key is often automatically pressed. You have to hold the phone so that pressure is not applied to the volume key. Another miss is on the phone's unlock screen. To simply unlock, you need to swipe from bottom to top. But the dialer and camera icons are swapped. If you swipe to the right, the dialer opens, and to the left, the camera opens. Not critical, but a drawback!
What is clearly weak in the Tele2 mini phone is the screen, camera and battery. The screen is a fairly convenient size, 4 inches, which determines the optimal dimensions of the phone in terms of holding it in your hand and carrying it in your pocket. The resolution is low, 800x480, but this is quite acceptable for most tasks. The main disadvantage is that the screen is not glass, but plastic. And at slight angles of inclination, colors are distorted to the point of inversion. Well, in general, if you look at the photo, you feel that the quality of the screen is far below the desired level. The screen is quite acceptable for correspondence or texts. The battery has a capacity of 1500 mAh, I would like more, but it is what it is. In normal mode (calls throughout the day, correspondence in instant messengers, a little surfing the net) the phone is enough for a day. However, if you use it almost continuously, then by lunchtime it will require charging. In standby mode, the phone consumes virtually no energy, which is a big plus. If in the evening there was 100% charge, then in the morning it was 99%. Or even the previous 100%. However, I think the settings of applications and the phone itself play an important role here. You can turn off components that are not needed and consume energy. In addition, I deliberately did not install Skype and Facebook with its Messenger. These are applications that constantly display mobile device from hibernation, which leads to increased energy consumption. In addition, for such a modest device they are quite “heavy”; there is only 512 MB of RAM.
The camera on the phone is the simplest, 2 megapixels, so the quality of the pictures is frankly mediocre. It’s still suitable for sending to another phone, but if you look at the photo on big screen computer, you can immediately see the poor quality. Which is quite surprising. I've seen photos from other phones, and even at this resolution (1600x1200) the colors and detail were much better. However, I read that the quality can greatly depend on the camera application used and the settings in it. You'll have to experiment, maybe the camera can show better results. I give three pictures as an example of photographs taken with a Tele2 Mini phone.
Example photo on Tele2 Mini phone
Summary: the phone is 100% worth its price. A fairly fast smartphone running Android 5.1, it runs all the basic applications needed for communication. Convenient dimensions and weight, two SIM cards and a memory card. A good option for a child; as a spare, safety phone; It’s not a pity to take it on a hike or for active recreation.
