Unlock / unlock Beeline Pro 4
If after purchase this smartphone If you need to change the operator to any other, then the steps described below will help you do this.
1. The first step is to make sure whether the smartphone is really Beeline Pro 4 an NCK code entry window comes out when a SIM card of another operator is installed in it. If there is a code request, then it looks like the one shown in the picture below:
2. Now you need to write out IMEI, you need to dial the commands on the "dialer" *#06# ... (It also happens that when you buy a phone, by mistake or simply by coincidence, you are given a box from another phone, i.e. have it on the box and by command *#06# differ).
3. Pay for the goods (if you pay through an external payment system (trading platform) and upon completion of payment you will see a button " Return to the seller's website"- do not forget to click it), after making the payment you will have a form for entering data (IMEI), carefully enter them or leave a request on the forum.
4. Now you need to insert a SIM card " someone else's"operator and on request" Enter NCK code: (Remaining attempts: 100) "drive in the code we received.
5. After completing 5 simple steps, you have an officially unlocked phone and you can safely use SIM cards of any operators.
Finally, it happened: the first branded 4G-smartphone from Beeline (aka ZTE Blade A430). Before we move on to looking for pros and cons, it is worth recalling that competitors shot back in the second half of 2013, launching MegaFon Turbo and MTS 978 for sale. So Beeline was very late. Or, on the contrary, he made the right pause, since MegaFon and MTS have not released a single new branded 4G smartphone since then. And their first models have not been on sale for a long time.
It seems that the Beeline Pro model has no worthy competitors. But no, among other budget 4G smartphones, a phone called Alcatel stands out One touch Idol 2 mini S. Since last summer it can be found on sale. Including in "Beeline", where it costs the same 5,990 rubles. But for this money you get 4 months of the “All for 450” tariff, 4 months of the “Mobile TV” service and 240 rubles for the phone balance. So, "Beeline Pro" will face a difficult life (I have not mentioned all competitors yet). However, we do not know how large a batch of these phones was purchased by Vymplek. Time will show.
From April 10, the price of a smartphone will change. New price for regions: 6390 rubles.
- Smartphone "Beeline Pro" - 4990 rubles.
- Tariff "Everything for 300" - 900 rubles. (3 months)
- "Beeline TV" service, "Extended" package - 500 rubles. (2 months)
Cons "Beeline Pro"
1. The design of the phone is disappointing. Comrades, in 2015 such unsightly phones cannot be produced. Plus it's heavy and thick. And still very easily soiled. Not only the screen gets dirty quickly, but also the back cover.
2. Yes, the smartphone uses a 4.5-inch IPS screen. But the resolution is not enough: 854x480 pixels. Also not happy with the pixel density (218 ppi). The screen is dark and the glass glows.
3. The power and volume buttons are small and lower than usual.
4. All icons standard applications have been redrawn. They have become larger and now look less serious. I would classify it as a disadvantage after all.
Pros of "Beeline Pro"
1. There is 4G (up to 100 Mbps). In the Beeline network you can get up to 75 Mbit / s today.
2. There is support for DC-HSPA +. This is a technology for 3G that allows you to get up to 42 Mbit / s in third generation networks. In most cities of Russia this technology is used by the “big three”.
3. Very good battery(read more below).
4. Excellent hardware for a smartphone of this level (also look for the results of synthetic tests below).
5. IPS display may not be the best, but a mediocre IPS display is still better than the best TFT display.
6. I recently started using GPS program Test to determine the sensitivity of the built-in GPS receiver, but Beeline Pro is still in the lead. In two or three minutes, he was able to connect to 9-11 satellites, while he saw 21 satellites, and the measurement accuracy reached 3-5 meters.
7. The phone is based on Android 4.4.4. Another plus, as they usually install Android 4.4.2. As we understand it, there is no need to wait for an update to Android 5. But "Beeline" promises periodic updates of internal firmware. One update came the other day when I tested this unit.
8. The smartphone is locked for use with Beeline SIM cards, but Beeline itself helps to unlock the phone for free so that it can work with SIM cards of any operators. This can be done at the sales office, or send a request by e-mail. All would cellular operators they did so.
9. Finally, one more nice little thing. In the settings there is an item with which you can choose where the "Back" and "Options" buttons will be located. Some find it more convenient to have Back to the right of the center button, others to the left. An ingenious and very simple solution.
Software
Beeline Pro is based on Android 4.4.4 OS. Will there be an upgrade to Android 5.x? Unlikely. But you can wait for the current updates of your own firmware. Just during the test, another update came to version BEE_RU_9B18S_P632A10V1.0.5.
except standard programs you will find the following applications: "BiInfo", "Beeline TV", "Change the dial tone", Yes (learning foreign languages), "Mobile security" (antivirus), "My Beeline", BeeMusic. There is also WPS Office ( office suite), « Backup copy», BLE Manager (bluetooth manager).
Battery and run time
The battery capacity is 2,200 mAh (8.4 Wh). Not the largest volume, but, as it turned out, this is enough. Battery model name: Li3822T43P3h675053, voltage 3.8V, manufacturer: ZTE.
Promised up to 9 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of standby time on a single battery charge.
Test 1. Watching online videos on YouTube over Wi-Fi. Brightness and volume in the middle, listening through headphones, Mobile Internet, GPS, Bluetooth are disabled.
In this mode, "Beeline Pro" worked for almost six and a half hours. Just fine.
Test 2. Watching movies through a media player. Brightness and volume in the middle, listening through headphones, all communication modules disabled (airplane mode).
In this mode, the smartphone lasted a little longer - eight hours. Good too.
The charger has an output current of 1 A. Full charging time from the standard charger is 3 hours. Smartphone charges linearly. In the first hour, the level of 40% is reached, in the second - 80%, in the third the remaining 20%.
In the off state, you can see the current charge level.
Synthetic test results
AnTuTu Benchmark 5.6 (Benchmark) - 30,225
Quadrand Standad Edition 2 (complex test) - 9 390
3DMark (Ice Storm test) - 8,470
3DMark (Ice Storm Extreme test) - 4,980
Epic Citadel (3D test) - 42.3 fps, 856x480, UltraHQ
We do not know what the reason is, but in synthetic tests, "Beeline Pro" showed itself very well. The same Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 mini S in AnTuTu scores about 17-18 thousand points, in 3DMark about 4700/2900 (Ice Storm / Ice Storm Extreme). It seems that the Mali-T760 video processor should be thanked for the good results of Beeline Pro.

Positioning
For this device the target niche is quite obvious: all those who want to buy for a reasonable price a relatively “fresh” smartphone with a decent screen and not quite budget “stuffing”, working in fourth generation networks (LTE).
It would be ridiculous to regard it as another “killer of the iPhone”, but the device in terms of its capabilities and comfort is much closer to “real” smartphones than to touch-screen dialers claiming to be “smartphones”. If smartphones entry level are interesting primarily to operators (to make users pay for mobile Internet), then Beeline Pro can already be considered an acceptable compromise for those who are morally or financially not ready to pay five to six-figure sums for a smartphone.
I repeat once again that the advantage of LTE is not only and even not so much in speed, although on average LTE is faster. Especially in terms of the speed of uploading data to the network, which is best seen when transferring photos and working with cloud services... But the main advantage is responsiveness and short response time, in this sense LTE is noticeably more comfortable than 3G. In Moscow, the factor of uneven congestion of networks is added to this. For example, I was not lucky to live next to a "multibeam" morning traffic jam, data transmission in 3G networks at this time barely crawls and often freezes altogether. In 4G, data transfer also slows down, but not critical. I suspect that there are a lot of such places in Moscow, and with the increase in the number of smartphones, the situation in 3G / 2G will only get worse.
Complete set and design
The kit includes the smartphone itself, an adapter for an output current of 1 A (full charging time is about three hours), a connecting cable, a user manual and a warranty card. There is no headset in the bundle, which is not very pleasant. Regular headphones will be found on the farm for everyone, but choosing a fully compatible headset is not always easy. There is no memory card included, and they are unlikely to appear. Probably, it's time to stop writing about it.
I liked the user manual. Not abstruse, but quite detailed, with diagrams and color pictures. Explanatory brochure for those who buy their first Android smartphone.
As for the design, it is "none" at all, a standard soap dish without eye-catching features. The soft touch coating of the back cover can be mentioned, the device does not slip in the hand. And the touch buttons at the bottom are marked with blue paint instead of the usual white. In Beeline salons, as far as I understand, they will only sell the black version. A smartphone in a white case looks more elegant, but there is a subtlety with the material of the case cover. I have already come across a soft touch coating on a black device and a small notch on ordinary plastic on a smartphone with a white cover. With this alternative, I would still choose soft touch.
Design
The layout is standard, out of the ordinary - except for the microUSB connector on the side. It also happens, but still more often from below or from above. There are no complaints about the assembly, everything is tight and without cracks. Opens and latches effortlessly. The camera eye is almost flush with the back cover surface and protrudes by a fraction of a millimeter.
The multimedia speaker is separate, one, at the bottom left under the back cover. The shutdown button and the volume rocker are on the right side edge. They protrude enough and are easy to grope. The move is clear. I must say that some obvious design flaws are found in modern smartphones less and less, the years of "training" in the production of the same type of buildings are reflected. I would like something unusual, but the cost is the determining factor.
The touch buttons are drawn with blue paint, and the backlight is correspondingly blue. Instead of the usual almost white. Instead of the traditional Menu and Back icons, they have the same bright dots. Have you saved? No, it's not that simple.
It turns out that the buttons can be swapped by reassigning them in the menu. A wonderful, humane function! For example, I got used to the "Return" button on the right (my last three smartphones), but now it is put on the left. Why torment the body with retraining, if the "problem" is solved with a single poke of your finger in the menu?
There is a LED event indicator, two-color (red and green). A useful thing that saves battery power. In addition to indicating incoming messages and battery status, the LED can be used in many other scenarios. For example, messengers, Twitter clients, etc. know how to control this LED. You can set your own color and blink rate in each application, and you can almost completely avoid unnecessary switching on of the display. Which will be much more efficient than any clever applications that declare energy savings.
There is no oleophobic coating, the screen gets smudged quickly. Some people carry suede cloths with them, and I heard about some special sprays, a matter of taste. You can just breathe on the screen and rub it against the shirt on your own belly, the effectiveness is comparable. Protective glass also not, and I would refrain from carrying the device in a pocket with keys.
Display
As I already wrote in a short listing of the main one, the screen is 4.5 inches, IPS, resolution 480x854, pixel density 218 ppi. Compared to TFT matrices, which they tried to put in inexpensive devices - the earth and the sky. White color really white, viewing angles without distortion are maximized, colors are clear.
The resolution, in my opinion, is not enough, and the fonts look a little blurry. But it is tolerant and certainly better than in state employees six months ago. Probably, IPS helps out, reading text on TFT displays with the same diagonal and resolution was much less comfortable.
The brightness margin is sufficient, and the display remains readable in direct sunlight. Automatic brightness control is present, but the auto-adjustment range is "cut" from the top. That is, in moderate lighting, everything is fine, but during the day outdoors in sunlight, the brightness will have to be added manually. And, perhaps, in the auto adjustment mode, the display is a little darker than we would like.
Auto-rotate works correctly, no complaints. Apparently, manufacturers have finally mastered this space technology and in the last couple of devices that came to me, I did not turn off this function. And before false positives, even in "thoroughbred" smartphones, annoyed immensely.
Cameras
There are two of them: the main 8 (5) MP with autofocus and the front 2 MP. The real (optical) resolution of the main camera is 5 MP, and the 8 MP indicated in the description is software interpolation. Roughly speaking, this is when the number of pixels is artificially increased, and the "voids" are programmatically trying to assign colors that are intermediate between the neighboring ones that actually exist. The event is almost useless, 90% of it is an advertising gimmick. It began to be widely used many years ago in cheap Chinese phones, when "venerable" manufacturers switched to 1.3-2 MP cameras, and "decent" Chinese continued to install 0.3 MP cameras in cheap models. But with software interpolation up to the desired 1.3-2 MP. The "indecent" Chinese didn’t even worry about this and painted the megapixel numbers on the housings "from the bulldozer."
Identical 8 and 5 megapixel shots with "Beeline Pro" I carefully compared almost with a magnifying glass. There is a difference in favor of 8 MP, but it is minimal. Feel free to set 5 MP in the settings and do not bother, you will save about 30% of the file size.
With the front camera, there were no "little tricks". Judging by the good quality of the images, here is an honest 2 MP. More precisely, 1.81 MP, according to the parameters of the resulting files. Okay, let's not quibble, the difference is not important.
The front camera itself is quite good for a smartphone of this class, you can upload selfies on social networks. The manufacturer clearly took into account the growing popularity of this type of photography and was not greedy. Even some basic settings are present, including color effects. If someone suddenly needs it for some reason. Disadvantages - unpredictability front camera in poor lighting conditions. It can work fine, or it can give out a clearly "bluish" tint of the picture.
The main camera fulfills its 5 MP without any complaints, see the traditional “ceremonial” photo of the playground. Autofocus is fast enough, default settings do not require manual "dancing with a tambourine". Brought - pressed - removed - normal result. Auto white balance works great, no shifts in "green" or "blueness".
Pictures taken indoors and in other low-light situations are noticeably "noisy", but the color balance in the "Auto" mode continues to delight. And this is the main thing for "everyday" pictures. In "in contact" no one will look at the graininess or color noise in the dark areas of the picture, but color distortions hopelessly spoil everything at once. In this sense, "Beeline Pro" immediately works as it should without further torment with photo editors.
There is no need to search for the "Macro" mode in the settings, autofocus works correctly at short distances. Take pictures for health of buttercups-flowers and all kinds of meadow butterflies-insects. One small "but": the sides of the image (up to 15-20% of the area at the edges) will be blurred, but the butterfly in the center of the frame will not notice it.
Filming of books, instructions and documents. Not a masterpiece, but you can use it. And without "dancing with a tambourine." If the hands do not shake and the lighting is decent, then modern systems OCR can easily cope with the "book" font size, all sorts of notes are also at the very least readable. Above - the page of the "User's Guide", there the font is quite small. To understand the scale: the book itself is the size of a pack of cigarettes.
Flash. It is represented by a LED in the amount of 1 pc. and ... almost out of habit, he didn’t write “... it would have been better if she hadn’t been there”. But no, it does not work in the worst way, and the pre-illumination for working out autofocus also does not fail. Within 1.5-2 meters, you can safely count on a decent shot. I suppose that, again, the merit of the successful software: there is no purple horror, all the colors are more or less balanced. Alas, with a slight shift to "green", so for night photo sessions performed by "Beeline Pro" choose lipstick "warm" shades.
As a summary of the cameras. They are far from cameras in "thoroughbred" devices (not to mention flagships). But in its class "phototypesetting" turned out to be successful. Acceptable quality pictures in different conditions without shamanism with settings, scenes, etc. For everyday needs it is quite suitable and does not particularly disappoint.
Specifications
Processor - quad-core MTK 6732M, 1.3 GHz, graphics processor Mali T760. RAM 1 GB, RAM 8 GB (4.5 GB available), microSD slot (up to 32 GB). For a screen with a diagonal of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 480x854, resources are enough, the interface works smoothly and without lags. They write that most modern games should work even with medium settings.
The AnTuTu program counted almost 30,000 virtual parrots. Despite the conventionality of such tests, the result is not bad in comparison with other models. Budget smartphones usually show less than 15,000, a fresh "classmate" with a similar display and also a quad-core processor showed about 22,000 units.

Management and programs
Pleased pure android without any additional shells. Still, the main requirement for a device of this class is to “drive” smoothly, and not to show braking “checkers” in the interface.
I have already written about the possibility of reassigning buttons, otherwise everything is standard. I was surprised to be able to create as many desktops as needed. And, accordingly, there is no need to scroll through empty or unnecessary pages(regrouping-sorting is usually lazy).
All Google is conveniently grouped into one folder, Beeline only partially received their applications. They could not resist the temptation to stick "Change the dial tone" in the most prominent place. On the other side, Personal Area"My Beeline" is a useful and convenient thing, and free antivirus for many it is simply necessary.
The device can be switched on and off according to a schedule, which is not a bad thing. Operators try to carry out all work on base stations at night, and there are unpleasant surprises in the form of a completely dead smartphone battery by the morning, which rushed between different LACs for half the night or searched for a network. Plus, an extra restart is only good for the device.
Full set of network modes: LTE / UMTS / GSM automatically, UMTS / GSM only (no LTE) automatically, LTE only, UMTS or GSM separately.
The operator's SIM-lock is present, and the smartphone initially works only on the Beeline network. But getting the unlock code for free in any operator's salon takes less than three minutes (including disassembling the device and checking) and less than one minute just using the IMSI number. Code requests by email are also processed and honored.
In this regard, of course, amuse the "suppliers" paid services to unblock, but this is life and "right" marketing. If the client is happy to pay 200 rubles. for a free service, then it is inhumane to deprive him of this pleasure, you must agree.
Impressions from work
I have no particular complaints about the cellular module, the sensitivity is not bad. V automatic mode switches between networks normally. We noticed a slowdown in the transition from 3G to 4G (LTE) with a low signal level in the 4G network. But, having caught on to LTE, it holds on to it well and does not strive to jump off into 3G / 2G.
The indicator in the status line suffers from some optimism, showing two, sometimes even three "sticks" at a signal level of the order of -112 dbm. Probably, this is not entirely correct, but the user is pleased. Once again I was convinced that even with a very weak signal (presumably in LTE 800 MHz) and depressing speed test readings, the Internet remains comfortable and responsive.
In better places, the smartphone accelerates much better, although it does not demonstrate speed records. Naturally, the speed depends primarily on the network, but it could have worked faster.
For example, two measurements of speed at the same point and almost at the same time, on the same server. The lower result is the connection of the Beeline Pro smartphone via Wi-Fi to a modem with a Beeline SIM card, the upper result is the speed measurement directly from the smartphone. I also write this to the fact that using a smartphone as an access point on an ongoing basis is possible, but not very reasonable.
There are no complaints about the Wi-Fi module. It connects normally, no glitches or failures were noticed. The range is average, but not bad. On the level of many other smartphones. There is no 5 GHz band.
Sound. As already mentioned, the multimedia speaker is separate, at the bottom right under the back cover. One or two side by side - I don't know (rather, one), but the stereo effect is zero in any case. The volume is above average, which is a plus. The vibration motor is so-so, not for outerwear in the winter. The voice loudspeaker raises no objections, the sound quality is slightly better than the average budget one (personal opinion).
Battery. Capacity - 2 200 mAh. Full charging time from a standard adapter (1 A) is about three hours, from a 2 A adapter - over two hours. The declared talk time is 9 hours from a fully charged battery. In practice, the battery is quite adequate within the framework of the “one day” concept (I “pushed” a phrase into it!). If no joke, then it is so. It started with an advertising race of manufacturers for thickness, continued with user complaints about "it only works for one day !!!" Our "Beeline Pro" completes this full day under normal load, the battery is not bad. Want more? Disable all syncs and do not use cellular Internet, Wi-Fi eats less. But why do you need a smartphone with 4G on board then? In fairness, with a constant 4G connection, the smartphone worked for me even a little longer than in 3G / 2G mode. Perhaps a random confluence of different factors, but the conclusion can be drawn: modern devices with modern chips in 4G networks consume energy at least comparable to a 3G connection. And it pleases.
Comparison
At the end of November, MTS began selling an LTE smartphone Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2 Dual sim, our review. The device is so similar in all its parameters to the Beeline Pro that it was impossible to refrain from comparing it. Moreover, the price is also identical: in December, Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2 Dual Sim was still sold at 4,990, then the price went up to exactly the same 5,990 rubles. Let's briefly analyze the main pros and cons (strictly within the framework of comparison!) Of clearly competing devices.
Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2 Dual Sim, in the pros: No operator SIM-lock, two SIM-cards (the second - only voice / SMS in GSM). Excellent cellular radio, above average Wi-Fi range. Many 3G and 4G bands supported. On the downside: TFT screen, controversial and very capricious main camera, front-facing 0.3 MP (declared 2 MP), fewer AnTuTu parrots (21,700).
"Beeline Pro" (ZTE Blade A430), in the pros: much better and "nicer" camera, front camera 2 MP. The IPS screen is radically better at the same resolution. There are more AnTuTu "parrots" (29,560). 10% more battery capacity. On the downside: operator SIM-lock (easily removable, but not everyone knows about it), one SIM-card. Fewer supported 3G and 4G bands (important when traveling abroad). Capture satellites a few seconds longer. 7 grams heavier (this is for maniacs).
For me, the main advantage of "Beeline Pro" is the display, the difference is "striking" in the literal sense of the word. And the cameras are very positive. On the other hand, the two SIM cards in the Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2 Dual Sim are a weighty weight on the scales. On the third hand, "Beeline Pro" appeared 4 months later and, as it were, must be better technically. On the fourth side, the price is the same, and you choose, my dears.
It's good that we have a selection of relatively budget LTE smartphones with sane characteristics, this is the main thing. We will consider this a conclusion, and with this I am relieving you of the traditional section "Summary".
But it so happened that my daughter slowly took him away. Well, okay, it's a pity or something.
In our city, this model was quickly snapped up, and I didn't really want to repeat it.
I went with a definite intention. I wanted to buy something from what cellular operators offer. At first I thought to buy a smartphone from Tele 2, but the reviews on it vary. This is not the main thing, if I want to buy and what others do not recommend buying.
As a result, looking at the windows, I noticed the Beeline Pro 4 smartphone.
The price is more than budgetary, 3200 rubles.
Packaged in a compact box, inside which, in addition to the Beeline phone itself, was a charger and a booklet for use. I really like how it charges Charger pretty fast. Headphones are not included in the kit.
I have a Beeline Pro 4 smartphone in a pink case (there were no others at that time). The body itself has clear edges and looks very stylish.
Medium size. Not exactly baby, but you can still put it in your jeans pocket. Comfortable to hold in hand.

The picture is clear. No wheezing sound.
Slot for only one micro SIM card. As for talking on the phone, I and I can hear well.

The camera is certainly not that wow, but it's not entirely bad either.
The main one is 5 megapixels with autofocus and flash, the front one is only 2 megapixels.

I like (what can I say, I'm delighted!) The work of the battery, of course, if you play games, it will sit down for several hours (about 4). But the work in the call mode is amazing. Yes, he can probably work for a week without charging. Almost zero discharged (from 1%), it can lie for a day, periodically receiving calls and SMS, and will not turn off. There is no such moment as on my old HTC. Only the battery turned yellow, looked for a while, and goodbye.
It is cold season outside the window, but this does not interfere with answering calls or taking pictures on the street. The battery holds a charge well in the cold.
Battery: 2000 mAh
As for the various functions, everything is according to the standard: Radio FM, MP3, Wi-Fi (with access point), Bluetooth, flashlight.

WiFi hotspot function
The Beeline phone does not have to be used only with SIM cards of this operator, if necessary, it can be easily and officially unlocked. And then insert a SIM card of any operator.
Smartphone Beeline Pro 4 is inexpensive and of high quality. He has already fallen down an incredible number of times and even got wet. But so far there are no hints that the next fall will be the last.
I am very pleased with the purchase and of course I recommend it.
