At the beginning of autumn, Highscreen presented a couple of curious budget smartphones. We have already tested Highscreen Easy S with bright colors, today we are focusing on Highscreen Easy F. Like its predecessor, it is available in a regular version and with the PRO prefix. We will study it using the example of the younger Highscreen Easy F, considering it as an opportunity to save as much as possible when buying a phone. This same review will be relevant in light of the approaching New Year holidays. It can be a good gift option as a first phone, in fact, as the slogan of this EASY series says.
Below is a summary table of available offers on Russian market, compiled based on data from the Yandex.Market service.
The package includes Charger, headphones, micro USB cable, instructions and warranty card.
It looks most impressive in bright colors. Compact, juicy body with rounded edges.
The thickness at the widest part is about one centimeter. It decreases from the center to the periphery. It fits easily in the hand, all elements are within easy reach.
The case is dismountable, you need to apply a little force to remove the cover. Underneath it lies a removable battery, two compartments for SIM cards of different formats, and a slot for a micro SD memory card. All connectors are separate, there is no need to select.
The front panel of Highscreen Easy F is covered with protective glass with a small protrusion around the perimeter. The frames around the screen are traditional width.
Below are three touch buttons without backlight. On top is a speaker grille and a front camera lens.
On the right is the power button and volume rocker. The buttons are pressed easily, without effort. They are fixed tightly in the case and do not rattle.
At the top end there is a micro USB connector with OTG support and a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones.
In the center of the Highscreen Easy F cover is the main camera lens and the main speaker grille. It does not overlap when placed in the palm.
The familiar manufacturer logo in landscape orientation has been retained. The assembly is excellent, all parts fit perfectly together.
Only manual adjustment is provided. The color balance is slightly shifted towards warm tones, MiraVision technology is supported.

Materials for making the case Materials used to make the device body. | Plastic |
SoC (System on Chip) A system on a chip (SoC) integrates various hardware components, such as a processor, graphics processor, memory, peripherals, interfaces, etc., as well as the software necessary for their operation. | MediaTek MT6580 |
Technological process Information about the technological process by which the chip is manufactured. Nanometers measure half the distance between elements in the processor. | 28 nm (nanometers) |
Processor (CPU) The primary function of a mobile device's processor (CPU) is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications. | ARM Cortex-A7 |
Processor size The size (in bits) of a processor is determined by the size (in bits) of the registers, address buses, and data buses. 64-bit processors have higher performance compared to 32-bit processors, which in turn are more powerful than 16-bit processors. | 32 bit |
Instruction Set Architecture Instructions are commands with which the software sets/controls the operation of the processor. Information about the instruction set (ISA) that the processor can execute. | ARMv7 |
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 is 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 |
CPU clock speed The clock speed of a processor describes its speed in terms of cycles per second. It is measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). | 1300 MHz (megahertz) |
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) handles calculations for various 2D/3D graphics applications. IN mobile devices it is used most often by games, consumer interface, video applications, etc. | ARM Mali-400 MP2 |
Number of GPU cores Like a CPU, a GPU is made up of several working parts called cores. They handle graphics calculations for various applications. | 2 |
Volume random access memory(RAM) Random Access Memory (RAM) in use operating system and all installed applications. Data stored in RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted. | 1 GB (gigabytes) |
Number of RAM channels Information about the number of RAM channels that are integrated into the SoC. More channels mean higher data rates. | Single channel |
RAM frequency The frequency of RAM determines its operating speed, more specifically, the speed of reading/writing data. | 533 MHz (megahertz) |
Type/technology One of the main characteristics of the screen is the technology by which it is made and on which the quality of the information image directly depends. | TFT |

I’ve been using it for almost a year, the requirements were not high when I bought it I needed the Internet, a strong screen and no brakes, 2 out of 3 points are there. Eliminate: bugs, glitches and defective software, there will be a good budget smart. In principle, I wrote everything, take it at your own peril and risk. I encountered these problems and now I have lost the desire to buy the Hightscreen brand at all, although who knows, maybe in the future they will raise the quality bar.

The phone was bought for a schoolchild to be torn to pieces. I was selected according to the criteria that I listed in the “Advantages” section. The disadvantages are not particularly critical for the price, and I don’t consider the crooked layout of the internal memory as such, because This “jamb” can be easily and simply corrected on your own (find a topic on the 4pda forum about this model, there is already a ready-made file there).

The main reason why this phone is not worth attention is that the so-called “8 GB of internal memory” is divided into 1.2 GB and 3.5 GB. Only 1.2 GB is allocated for the operating system. After turning on for the first time and connecting to the Internet, the phone requested updates to already installed programs... and without completing the process, it issued a notification “the phone’s memory is full.”
It is not possible to install programs on 3.5 GB of free memory or a memory card.
