Affordable, productive and with fast mobile Internet - this is how you can briefly describe this gadget. "Beeline Pro" is the first Russian smartphone mobile operator, which operates in 4G networks. Fast mobile internet- a necessary thing. And most importantly, it is now even more accessible, thanks to the hero of today’s review.

Specifications

Beeline Pro is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6732M processor with clock frequency 1.3 GHz. The Mali-T760MP2 is responsible for the graphical characteristics. By default, 4.4.2 KitKat is installed on your smartphone. The device also received 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded using a micro SD card. Capacity battery is 2200 mAh.

This is the first device in its class with a 64-bit MediaTek chipset. Thanks to it, we have the performance of an expensive smartphone. When running any games on Beeline Pro, you can be glad that there are no performance problems. However, this is not only a merit good iron, but also low screen resolution.

The realistic game Walking Dead Season 2, which is famous for its high-quality design, runs without problems on Beeline Pro.

Design

This device cannot boast of a bright appearance; for fashionistas there are more expensive gadgets. “Beeline Pro” is for those who don’t want to spend money on bright rattles, but at the same time don’t want to buy a completely primitive device. As is usually the case with operator smartphones, it is based on a gadget from China. It’s easy to guess which one it is - it’s ZTE Blade A430.

The smartphone is completely made of black plastic, all keys and connectors are located traditionally. Among the niceties are the touch keys “Home”, “Back” and “Menu” with blue backlight.

Screen

The 4.5-inch screen has a resolution of 854x480 pixels. Yes, here it is far from retina-standard, large pixels catch the eye. But for the money its quality is acceptable. The IPS matrix is ​​covered with protective glass, there is an air gap, so no glare in the sun is noticeable.

In terms of image quality, this is a typical average. The display does not distort colors and does not turn white into yellow, as is often the case with cheap Chinese ones. Although the contrast is a little lacking.

Camera

The front 2-megapixel camera takes pictures quite well, considering the cost of the device. And the video connection is excellent, and you won’t be ashamed to show a selfie.

The main camera has an 8-megapixel sensor. Additionally, the camera is equipped with autofocus and flash. The quality of the images is acceptable: clear and juicy daylight and with noise in poor lighting.

Results

Beeline Pro sells for just over $100. Can we talk about any disadvantages at such a price? This is the most affordable smartphone with support for fourth generation networks and excellent performance. In its class, it is the best option for those who need a powerful filling for a minimal amount.

Unlocking and flashing a modem, be it Beeline, MegaFon, MTS, Tele2 or any other, despite the simplicity of the action, is a responsible step. And yet it’s worth it - the reward will be complete freedom of choice best tariff any of the cellular providers.

a 3G/4G

The motivation for the firmware is to change the tariff of the cellular provider without having to buy one for each of them modem.

The fact is that in pursuit of additional profit, the cellular company blocks the use of SIM cards from competing operators. In a good way, there are no physical reasons to prohibit the use, for example, in modem e, sold by Beeline, SIM from MegaFon, MTS, Tele2, Yota, Rostelecom and regional operators. All modem We use the same 3G and 4G standards (UMTS-900/2100 and LTE-800/2600, where the number indicates frequencies in megahertz). And here it becomes possible to “untie”, for example, device Huawei E1750 or router ZTE-MF90+ from MTS or Beeline.

Cell phone unlocking methods modem ovs and routers

There are three approaches to unlocking:

  • unlocking without firmware;
  • firmware with already unlocked;
  • changing the firmware version - then unlocking is performed separately.
  • Here are completely free and proven methods. There is no need to buy any “loans” or anything else - modem s and routers can be unlocked for free if desired, and after unlocking they work flawlessly for 10 years or more.

    How to unlock and flash modem s from Beeline

    Don't create unnecessary problems for yourself! Often you can limit yourself to a simple unlock modem but without reflashing it. This is the easiest way - your device will work for 100%, because the highest goal of the subscriber is to get rid of the “binding” to the operator. Firmware only makes sense when modem or the router supports more high speed, but its “native” firmware prevents it from overclocking (a software limit on the maximum connection speed, “built into” the current version of the software, cannot be disabled in any other way) - this was the case, for example, in the first LTE- modem ah Yota and in 3G- modem e Huawei E1820.

    How to unlock and flash modem ZTE MF180 (Beeline) for all SIM cards

    When connecting to a PC USB port for the first time modem installs the program "USB- modem Beeline is an application imposed by Beeline.


    It is unlikely to be useful - other programs are used

    Previously, it was called BID (“Beeline Internet Home”). The program window size is fixed and closes everything on the Windows desktop. Inconvenient.

    You can unlock the ZTE MF180 by replacing its native program, for example, with “MTS Connect Manager”. Before flashing the firmware, the Beeline and MTS versions may be incompatible, which is why the PCUI.VN file in memory needs to be replaced modem A. To flash ZTE MF180 you need:

  • correct PCUI.VN file;
  • MTS Connect Manager firmware;
  • QPST software package.
  • Easily found on the Internet.

    Use a laptop, preferably with Windows XP SP3. Do the following.

  • Download and install the QPST application.
  • Download and unpack necessary files firmware.
  • Insert the ZTE MF180 into a free USB port of the laptop and wait until the standard Beeline program finishes.
  • Go to the dispatcher Windows devices("Start - Control Panel - System - Device Manager") and check virtual devices modem and ZTE MF180, for which the appropriate drivers have been installed, in particular, ZTE Diagnostics Interface. Remember which COM port this device “sits” on - it will be useful in QPST.
    COM Diagnostics Interface
  • Run the QPST program and add the ZTE Diagnostics Interface port to it.
    The application is ready to find the modem port
  • Click the add new port button.
    Select your ZTE DI port
  • The header of the new device with your COM port is available. Launch the QPST - EFS Explorer component ("Start - Programs - Accessories - EFS Explorer").
    EFS Explorer detected a port with a modem
  • Confirm the port selection - the files will open your modem device.
    There should be pcui.vn, because of which the modem does not accept other people's SIMs
  • At the root of flash memory modem but there should be a PCUI.VN file - if it is not there, you will have to add it. Find and drag it into this window - PCUI.VN will be copied to the drive modem A.
  • Close EFS Explorer and run the MTS firmware (original file DL_MF180_MTS_RU_EUV1.00.03.exe). IN Windows versions Vista and later “firmware” from “MTS” is launched with administrator rights.
    It is important that the PC power does not reset
  • Once you have clicked the download button, device it will be sewn. This will take up to 20 minutes. Don't touch anything!!! Interrupting the firmware can damage the modem!
    You have successfully flashed the modem
  • After finishing the firmware, remove the Beeline program from the PC and use modem point no restrictions with unlimited tariffs any operator. At reconnection modem a to USB port MTS Connect Manager will be installed.

    Don't forget to set up network profiles by checking the APN with the relevant operator. If you have active Internet access without settings, APN settings will not be needed.

    ZTE MF180 firmware for specific networks

    Instead of MTS Connect Manager, you can download any software, be it MLT (MegaFon of Tajikistan), Egyptian Etisalat or other at your discretion. Sometimes they do this - their firmware may contain a “cured” PCUI.VN - then they change it to our Russian one.

    If you are flashing for Yota, keep in mind: on “ modem nom" Yota tariff won't let 3G- modem s to the 3G network from MegaFon! This is the company's policy and marketing, unfortunately. No one has yet been able to bypass this limitation directly. You need a “smartphone” or “tablet” SIM - with these tariffs you can use the 3G network, but you need to change the IMEI and fix the TTL. It’s easier with other operators: they don’t yet have a tariff exclusively for modem devices (only for 4G), you can also use the 3G network (where there is no 4G yet) without much difficulty.

    The main disadvantage of the ZTE MF180 is that it does not have HSUPA technology (high-speed uplink up to 5.76 Mbit/s). Only 384 kbit/s is available for transmission from the subscriber (limited WCDMA speed according to the 3G specification) and incoming speed (HSDPA) is only up to 3.6 Mbit/s, therefore these modem They are already considered old.

    Firmware and unlocking ZTE MF823D

    This device still popular- its mass start of sales occurred in 2015 along with the ZTE MF90(+) routers. These models support incoming speeds (DC-HSDPA+) up to 42 Mbit/s for reception and outgoing (HSUPA) up to 5.76 Mbit/s for uploading in 3G networks, and also provide up to 75 Mbit/s (in both directions) in networks 4G (LTE). Using them is a joy: the Internet channel becomes more symmetrical and allows you to satisfy the appetite of the most sophisticated subscribers who consume hundreds of gigabytes of traffic monthly, and are also useful when working via the Internet, where urgent sending of attached files by mail and transmission of video from objects and video chat (video conferencing) are required ) in good quality.

    Modem The ZTE MF823D is controlled not from a program, like its predecessors of previous years, but from any browser at m.home/index.html (or 192.168.0.1 by default): configuration and monitoring are carried out via a web interface, thanks to which you can local network connected to the Internet from this modem and, manage its settings. Its firmware does not put in Windows system a separate application, and after installing the drivers, ZTE creates only the “Beeline Internet” shortcut. But this does not mean that it will be less easy to unlock. Do the following.

  • Download and install the driver package for ZTE devices (archive with the ZTEDrvSetup program).
  • Insert ZTE MF823 into an available USB slot and open My Computer. Modem will be detected as a virtual CD-ROM - give the command: right-click - “Extract”.
  • Open the familiar Windows Device Manager and look for three unknown devices and "ZTE MSM Technologies".
  • Launch any browser, for example, Firefox and enter the address http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_process?goformId=MODE_SWITCH&switchCmd=FACTORY - the device response will appear: (“result”:”FACTORY:ok”)
  • At the same time, the installation of unknown devices will begin - as is the case with old ones ZTE, these will be three devices: ZTE Diagnostics Interface, ZTE Proprietary USB Modem and ZTE NMEA Device.
  • Remember the ZTE Diagnostics Interface port number (let it be COM8) and download the unlock file (the “cured” original is known as “diag1F40_F0AA.bin” or something similar).
  • Run command Windows string with administrator rights and give the commands: cd \ (if the file is saved on drive C:) and copy /b diag1F40_F0AA.bin COM8 (port number on which the modem). Application command line will report successful copying of the file.
    File copied
  • Install a terminal emulator such as Putty application, connect to the ZTE Diagnostics Interface port and enter the command AT+ZCDRUN=F. Modem will again be available as a CD-ROM, only now it will be unlocked.
    Connect to your port and enter your commands
  • All! Modem ZTE MF823 unlocked. Go to its web interface and enter the settings of all operators.

    From December 2 in all Beeline stores you can purchase mobile phone, supporting at an excellent price, only 2990 rubles. The price may vary within a small range depending on the region. But there is one small catch: the phone can only be purchased in conjunction with a promotional tariff from Beeline, which must be connected for at least 6 months. The cost of the tariff is 500 rubles/month. Using simple arithmetic operations we get the total cost of the phone: 5990 rubles.

    User review of the ZTE L4 BLADE smartphone from Beeline

    “Even with the tariff, the price is very tempting; after analyzing competitors from other popular telephone brands, we get average price for such a phone 7 thousand rubles. Moreover, this price will not include “half a year of freebies.”

    After all these thoughts, I went to buy this phone at the nearest Beeline branch. At first glance I liked the phone, quick menu, responsive touchpad. The only downside, in my opinion, is the incredible size. But the desire to visit sites at 4G speed turned out to be stronger, and now I’m already giving 5990 to the cashier and getting my phone.

    2 months have passed, and now we can really talk about the pros and cons of this device. I'll start with the positives.

    Now I’ll tell you about the disadvantages of this phone:

    • The main disadvantage of this phone is its creaky, flimsy body. In the first week it was unnoticeable, but then it became downright annoying. This is especially noticeable when increasing/decreasing the volume. There is no escape from the squeak.
    • The second disadvantage is that the display is of poor quality, the color rendition is disgusting, and the viewing angle is very small.
    • The third disadvantage is the inconvenient call log. Of course, this can probably be solved with some kind of launcher, but on Android 4.4 it was much more convenient than on Android 5.

    Now let's summarize:

    Pros ZTE phone L4 BLADE 4G from Beeline:

    1. The price of 5990 is simply a great price for these characteristics.
    2. 1 gigabyte RAM, enough for all earthly needs.
    3. A fast processor that can handle all the fashionable toys.
    4. The presence of a 4G module makes you more modern
    5. Availability of two SIM cards.
    1. Flimsy body.
    2. The display is so-so, although the size is an impressive 5 inches.
    3. Inconvenient call log.
    4. With constant use, the back panel gets warm.
