Mobile networks
A mobile network is a radio system that allows multiple mobile devices to communicate with each other.
| GSM GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is designed to replace the analogue mobile network (1G). For this reason, GSM is often called a 2G mobile network. It is improved by the addition of GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), and later EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) technologies. | GSM 850 MHz GSM 900 MHz GSM 1800 MHz GSM 1900 MHz |
| UMTS UMTS is an abbreviation for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. It is based on the GSM standard and belongs to 3G mobile networks. Developed by 3GPP and its biggest advantage is providing greater speed and spectral efficiency thanks to W-CDMA technology. | UMTS 900 MHz UMTS 2100 MHz |
| LTE LTE (Long Term Evolution) is defined as a fourth generation (4G) technology. It is developed by 3GPP based on GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA to increase the capacity and speed of wireless mobile networks. The subsequent technology development is called LTE Advanced. | LTE 800 MHz LTE 1800 MHz LTE 2100 MHz LTE 2600 MHz |

| Level 1 cache (L1) Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster than both system memory and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2. | 32 kB + 32 kB (kilobytes) |
| Level 2 cache (L2) L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory. | 512 kB (kilobytes) 0.5 MB (megabytes) |
| Number of processor cores The processor core executes software instructions. There are processors with one, two or more cores. Having more cores increases performance by allowing multiple instructions to be executed in parallel. | 4 |

Equipment
The BQ-Mobile Jumbo arrived in a red box with a white cover. The box shows the name and renderings of the smartphone, technical specifications and various background information from the manufacturer. The box can be accessed by removing the cover.
The phablet package includes instructions for use, a power supply (input: 100-240V at 0.2A; output: 5V at 2,000 mA) and a charger cable with a MicroUSB connector. All this, including Jumbo, is packed in soft transparent bags and lies inside the box. The box itself is empty inside - there are no special cutouts or shapes for packaging the kit.
Appearance
The phablet has a classic design. In the simplest terms, it is a massive 6-inch rectangle with rounded edges. The front screen is protected by unknown glass. There is also a speaker, light and proximity sensors, a front camera and an LED flash, as well as an alert indicator. It is noteworthy that a flash has been added for the front camera - it is not often you see such an addition in this segment.
On the back panel at the very top there is a 16-megapixel main camera with a ring frame, a dual LED flash, the company logo and the main speaker under the dot perforation. The lid is made of painted plastic, not of the highest quality - fingerprints and other possible traces remain on it. It is quite difficult to remove it the first time, because the design has many grooves for fastening. Under the panel you can find a non-removable battery and all connectors - for 2 SIM cards and MicroSD.
At the ends of the BQ Jumbo, everything is also within the framework of the classics - there is a microphone at the bottom, power and volume buttons on the left, and a MicroUSB connector for charging and a 3.5 mm hole for headphones at the top. There is nothing on the left side of the phablet.
And now about ease of use. The device feels bulky in the hand, and not only due to its weight. The Jumbo itself is massive. In total, 220 grams of weight and 9 millimeters of thickness require two hands for comfortable use. However, despite the 6 inches, you can get used to operating this shovel with one hand. In my case, this was possible thanks to my long fingers, although my hand is not particularly large.
Display
It’s not for nothing that a phablet is called a phablet if it doesn’t have a large screen in its arsenal. BQ Jumbo has a large 6-inch display with HD resolution (1280x720 pixels). The matrix manufacturing technology is the usual IPS. Viewing angles are wide, but not maximum. There are also distortions that are normal for IPS matrices at certain turns. For example, white color gives off blue, and brightness, even maximum, loses its properties. The maximum number of simultaneous touches is 5.
The Jumbo display shows a calm picture, the colors are moderately bright. Such a screen will definitely not injure the inexperienced eye. There are settings to improve color saturation and improve image quality from MiraVision. You can select ready-made modes (standard, bright and custom), or manually adjust the screen completely to suit yourself - from contrast, saturation and brightness to sharpness and color temperature.
Camera
BQ Jumbo received a 16-megapixel main and 8-megapixel front camera. Both sensors, in principle, work well, but not in all conditions they are able to produce the kind of picture you expect to see. There are creative shooting modes and a range of settings.
Photos taken outdoors in daylight are the sharpest and most natural. BQ Jumbo also takes good photographs indoors under artificial light. But as for the dark time of day and distant landscapes, in such cases the 16-megapixel camera does not justify itself. Images are blurry and their colors are not saturated enough
The front camera is weak - not 8 megapixels. But for communication on Skype or the simplest selfies, it will be quite enough.
System and software
The BQ Jumbo phablet uses the base version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow as a pre-installed operating system. I mean basic by almost an AOSP build with no interface shell on top. However, there are also controversial points in this decision.
BQ did not use any custom OS design for its device, but Jumbo has two desktops with links to games and applications on Google Play. Moreover, these links are presented to the user under the guise of the most ordinary icons, when clicked on we are used to launching the same games and applications. The AppsPress application is responsible for this deception - fortunately, it can be disabled.
There are very few pre-installed services on the device. Of these, only Yandex, Yandex Browser, Give Life for a Charity Foundation, Google Chrome and Gboard can be noted.
Gestures
A surprising surprise for me was the support for gestures in BQ Jumbo. A whole section has been created for them in the smartphone settings. Actually, that’s why I highlighted them as a separate review item. The wide variety of gestures is good news, because for such a shovel, simplified control using simple finger movements is only a plus.There are 3 tabs available in the settings with different gesture settings - movements, smart movements and unlock gestures. Motion prompts the user to swipe the top of the screen to control navigation—switching to the next image, page, composition, or video. Smart movements are standard functions that work with the help of gestures - unlocking with a double tap, smart answer by bringing the phone to your ear, applying the phone to your ear to make a call, and the like. The last tab, unlock gestures, allows you to enable the ability to quickly unlock your device and open some applications. For example, double-click to turn on the screen, swipe up to unlock, swipe down to open the phone, swipe in the form of the letter C to open the camera or E for the Chrome browser.
Gestures in BQ Jumbo do not always work correctly (apparently due to the small number of sensors), but in most cases all available gestures work correctly. Once you get used to them, using this 6-inch device will become much easier later on.
Battery
The BQ Jumbo review shows that not all phablets with large batteries can show high screen activity rates. Our proprietary battery test revealed 10 hours and 38 minutes of battery life at 50% brightness and Wi-Fi enabled.
For such hardware and a 4,900 mAh battery, I expected better results. With similar hardware, the LG X Power showed much more impressive results in our test - 18 hours 24 minutes. At the same time, the phablet from LG has a smaller battery - 800 mAh (4,100). I can only assume that this is a poor battery calibration or optimization specifically in our sample.
Editorial battery test results:
Huawei P30 Pro HD+
OPPO A1k
Xiaomi Redmi 7
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Pocophone F1
Apple iPhone XS Max
BQ-Mobile 6050 Jumbo
OPPO Reno
BQ 6001L Jumbo
Xiaomi Mi 9
BlackBerry KEY2
Yandex Phone
However, almost 11 hours of full autonomy is also actually worthy.
Iron
The new BQ-Mobile phablet is powered by the MediaTek MT6737 processor for budget devices. It is built on a 28-nanometer technological process and consists of 4 ARM Cortex-A53 computing cores with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz. 64-bit architecture supported. The MT6737 GPU is a dual-core Mali-T720 with a maximum refresh rate of 650 MHz.
BQ Jumbo copes well with everyday tasks such as social networks, surfing the Internet and making calls. Classic applications launch quickly and work stably. The only thing the phablet can't cope with is heavy 3D games running with maximum graphics settings.
In gaming tests, the device showed low frames per second (FPS). Maximum graphics settings cause stuttering, so a lower level of picture detail is required for stable operation. For a non-gaming processor this is not critical, but it is noticeable. If such a moment is important to you, then you should lower the quality in the settings.
Bottom line
BQ Jumbo is a balanced budget phablet that lovers of large screens will appreciate. The smartphone offers a simple design, a 6-inch screen, gesture controls, sufficient power, LTE support and mediocre cameras for 10 thousand rubles. Among the minuses, we can note the fragile body, not the best photo quality and disabled AppsPress. As a result, we get more obvious advantages than disadvantages.
Despite the fact that the Jumbo BQ-6050 smartphone does not occupy the highest niche in the manufacturer’s line, it can boast of an excellent appearance, a very good 6-inch display and the ability to work with two SIM cards.
The Jumbo BQ-6050 smartphone provided for testing was made in China, and this is not surprising. Today, the Celestial Empire produces the lion's share of the world's electronics, and its quality is quite high, unless, of course, you want to covet a product made by a hardworking peasant in the backyard near a rice field.
The Jumbo BQ-6050 smartphone is a modern phablet with a large display, equipped with the latest technology. And although it doesn't boast the glossy glamor or the globally recognizable logo, its functionality can warm the heart of any user who values convenience and functionality.

The device comes in a small cardboard box made in traditional red and white colors. The delivery package is not rich - it includes the phone itself, a warranty card, a user manual, a USB cable and, of course, a network charger that supports currents up to 2 A. In principle, this approach has a right to life - why overpay for “stuff” that may remain unopened at the bottom of the box.

The main material used in the manufacture of BQ Jumbo is high-quality plastic. The device looks very good, it is clear that not only competent engineers, but also high-class designers worked on the smartphone. The body color is black, the corners are rounded, and the back panel has a matte finish to prevent slipping in the hand. In general, everything is in order with ergonomics. The back cover is removable, underneath there are trays for two SIM cards and a memory card. The battery is integrated, this is done in order to reduce the dimensions of the device.

The front panel is completely glossy, and, interestingly, it is already equipped with a protective film from the factory - in fact, this is a very nice “feature” that not all manufacturers can boast of. Controls - three buttons responsible for adjusting the volume and turning on the smartphone. There are no usual dedicated sensors here; they have been replaced by on-screen sensors.

The display diagonal is 6 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The matrix is IPS, so we did not notice any problems with viewing angles. The brightness is high, the contrast is excellent. The sensor is capacitive and supports up to five simultaneous touches. It is worth highlighting the absence of an air gap between the sensor and the matrix.
The main camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels. Naturally, it is equipped with autofocus and a dual LED flash, and the quality of both photo and video shooting is more than good. Interestingly, the front is 8 megapixels. The camera is also equipped with LED backlight, which allows you to shoot “your loved one” even in poor lighting conditions.

The model is based on the quad-core MediaTek MT6737 platform, working in conjunction with 2 GB of RAM, so most not particularly demanding games run without problems, and the video does not slow down. For the user's needs, a built-in storage capacity of 16 GB is provided, but if this is not enough, you can use a slot for microSD memory cards.

It is worth noting that the manufacturer has equipped its smartphone with a status indicator, which is not always found even in much more expensive models. Its main purpose is to signal various moments during operation: battery charge level, messages, calls, etc. In general, the thing is extremely useful.
Naturally, there are GPS and wireless interfaces, including the so popular LTE (the dual-SIM radio module supports GSM 900/1800/1900, 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A Cat. 4, VoLTE bands). The speaker is quite loud, and the FM receiver will help you pass the time if you suddenly forget to record your music or video on the memory card. By the way, the device is also fine with the latter - the processor allows you not to worry about whether the video is compressed or not.
The installed battery with a capacity of 4900 mAh inspires respect - it allows you to stay away from an electrical outlet for two or three days, which is not bad, although, of course, under heavy load the life of the device is significantly reduced. Alas, the battery is one thing that is never enough.

In a nutshell. Good day and best mood, friends! Today we will discuss a very cool new product from the BQ brand. The smartphone is really worthy of attention; the model name is BQ-6050 Jumbo. The smartphone was presented along with the other three models at a presentation in November. The calendar shows December and you can already buy a smartphone. The main feature of this smartphone model is a powerful 4900 mAh battery. This smartphone will definitely please all travelers who want to enjoy their trip and not be constantly looking for an outlet. What can I say, anyone will like the long battery life of a smartphone. The smartphone also has a beautiful 6-inch screen. BQ perfectly combines a capacious battery with a large display. It will be a pleasure to watch a movie or series on such a screen. Literally everything about a smartphone makes you happy. The company even put a lot of effort into the design. Looks very stylish. In general, the BQ company makes me more and more happy every time. It’s also very pleasing that the company has moved away from using geographical names in the names of smartphones. The name of the smartphone “Jumbo” fully justifies itself. The size of the smartphone is truly impressive. Something tells us that it’s time to move on to reviewing the new product, which is what we will do...
Appearance. The design of the BQ BQ-6050 Jumbo smartphone is very stylish and modern. You can buy the smartphone in black or dark blue colors. The black version has a metallic edging, while the blue version has a black edging. Let's discuss the elements located on the back cover. In the center at the top there is a peephole for the main camera. There is a frame around it that looks very cool. A flash is placed under the camera, and the company logo is located a little lower. By the way, the logo inscription shimmers beautifully in the light. At the bottom center there is an external speaker. There's nothing else here. The front panel is occupied by a 6-inch screen. At the top we can see the earpiece, front camera and various sensors. There's nothing else here. Yes, the usual physical Home button is not here. Control occurs using touch buttons. At the top end there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a USB connector. On the right side you can see the volume rocker and the on/off button. The left and bottom edges turned out to be deprived; there is nothing here. The body is made of plastic that is pleasant to the touch. The back cover is removed. Removing it reveals a slot for a MicroSD memory card up to 128 GB and slots for memory cards. The thickness of the smartphone is 9 mm, and it weighs a lot, 219 grams. The delivery set includes: the smartphone itself, a charger, a USB cable, a battery, paper documentation and a warranty card.
Screen. The BQ-6050 Jumbo smartphone has a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The display is made using IPS technology. Also used here is a technology such as Full lamination. In this technology, glass is combined with a touch panel, which ensures excellent transmission of realistic images. Although the resolution is small, it is quite sufficient. Excellent display quality, excellent color reproduction.
Performance. The BQ Jumbo smartphone uses a 4-core Mediatek MT6737 processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The Mali-T720 chip is responsible for the graphics. The processor, by the way, has low power consumption. There is 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in memory. But the latter can be increased thanks to a MicroSD memory card up to 128 GB. The smartphone runs on Android 6.0 OS. There is also support for the OTG function. But unfortunately this cable is not included in the kit; it must be purchased separately. The characteristics are quite good. Yes, the smartphone is not super powerful, but even these characteristics are enough to perform not only standard, simple tasks. An excellent option for those who want to get a smartphone for comfortable work in applications and games.
Wireless modules. The smartphone received all the necessary wireless modules: GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth 4.1.
Cameras. The BQ Jumbo smartphone has a 16 MP main camera and an 8 MP front camera. The main one can take excellent quality pictures even in poor lighting. The front one is also capable of taking high-quality selfie pictures.
Battery. We got to the main feature of the smartphone under discussion. There is a 4900 mAh battery here. The BQ-6050 Jumbo device is simply a godsend, not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of autonomy.
To sum it up. So we talked about a new product from the BQ company - the BQ Jumbo smartphone. It seems that it turned out to be an excellent option in terms of price-quality ratio. The smartphone is endowed with very decent characteristics, an excellent display and a gorgeous 4900 mAh battery. The price of the smartphone is reasonable and amounts to 9,490 rubles.
Online smartphone store
I discovered that on this site there are not only reviews, but even simple reviews for this, quite relevant and interesting, model. And on Yandex Market it has a very low rating, which is no less strange.
Therefore, I’ll briefly try to explain why bad reviews are most likely the machinations of competitors, and why this device is good. Well, what’s bad, at the same time.
First, everyone should understand that this is a shovel with a 6-inch display and a metal frame (which adds weight). For example, I took the BQ as a second phone, instead of a 7-inch tablet. By the way, for those who are thinking about the same question (which is better, a 7-8 inch tablet or a 6+ inch paddle?) here is my user experience - 6 inches is better. You can hold it in one hand for a long time without discomfort and even talk on the phone (provided it is a “male” hand). At the same time, the ease of reading from a 6"" 1280x720 display is better than from a 7"" display with a resolution of 1280x800.
Now about what Jumbo is criticized for.
External quibbles.
The device, naturally, is large and heavy. And quite easily soiled at the back. The “original” film on the screen does not get very dirty, but it is easily scratched, that’s also a fact (and who’s stopping you from peeling it off?). But the body is not slippery and monolithic, and as I wrote above, it fits into the corresponding hand like a glove.
Screen
Wonderful in terms of viewing angles, color gamut and appearance (such a black panel, OGS), but not very bright (60% is comfortable for me) and not very well tuned. If you are not satisfied with the picture, just go to the MiraVision settings and adjust it to suit you. I lowered the saturation, increased the brightness, and moved the temperature slider a little to cooler tones. The picture has become much better
If the interface elements seem too large to you, the 4pda forum has instructions (without rooting or flashing) on how to change the screen dpi.
Sound
Many people criticize the sound, forgetting to turn off “improvements” in the settings. But in fact, the sound is as good as possible for MTK (those who understand will understand). If you want louder sound (including loud ringing) and listen to “regular” music, I advise you to turn off the headphone enhancement and leave it on for the speaker. If you're a music lover, turn both off. But the call sound will become quieter, keep that in mind.
There is a limitation on the sound in headphones or when outputting sound to speakers. You need to “catch” the “Increasing the volume may affect the hearing of blablabla” window and click “OK” there, then everything will be fine. Only this window, it does not appear on top of the window of that same application in all applications, such things. Therefore, it is better to increase the volume in the settings, click “OK” in the window and turn on your music application, etc.
Camera
The phone uses camera interpolation. In combination with not the best post-processing at maximum resolution, the photos are not of the best quality. But if you lower the camera resolution in the settings (to a minimum of 13 on the rear, 5 on the front) and wipe the lens with a microfiber cloth, the result will become noticeably better.

Swearing at the battery even looks kind of funny. The actual capacity tested by the tester actually turned out to be less - 4050 mAh. But this is also a lot. The problem, again, is that no one calibrated it at the factory. The first 60% take a long time to leave (unnaturally long, I would even say), but the rest “fly away”. And the little man watches how the charge drops from 20 to 5 percent before his eyes and gets angry.
But on average, battery consumption is exactly as it should be. 2-3 days is enough for me personally. Moreover, videos and games at above-average brightness drain the device to zero in about 4-5 hours, and this is a very good indicator for the processor/screen/battery combination that we see in Jumbo.
Charger
But this is true. Jumbo is supplied with a complete charger that does not match the battery parameters. According to rumors, this caused owners of firmware 003 a lot of inconvenience, even going to the ASC. But in firmware 005 (this turned out to be easier for BQ than changing the complete memory, omigodable) the problem was solved by plugging the hole with a rag. Thus, your charger says 2A, and it really is 2A, only the phone takes 800mA from it and therefore takes a long time to charge. That is, everything is fine with the charging itself, and you should be glad that the phone takes a long time to charge - otherwise the battery would simply fail.
The bottom line:
For those who have firmware 003, I advise you to update the ASC to 005. If you are stuck, charge your Jumbo with charging parameters of no more than 5V/1A, or (if you find it) 4-4.5V/2A.
Those who have firmware 005 should not worry about the battery, and if the charging time is not satisfactory, try to find a charger with a lower voltage.
Internet problems- not noticed (4G).
Overheat- not noticed.
Thus, the device is worthy for those who know what they are buying, but not for those who want everything to work “out of the box” of 8 wooden ones like an iPhone.
