The new minimalism: Mobile work only with the mobile phone?

The mobile phone as virtually the sole mobile work device, without a laptop and tablet – is that even possible? I've been practicing this for quite a while successfully and find it extremely practical: because often I would like to do something on the go, eMails write eg, image editing or short texts - but extra to unpack the laptop or even take with me is simply too cumbersome.

So I do everything on the go with my cell phone – and otherwise I have neither a tablet nor a laptop. This often causes astonishment. But as a friend remarked yesterday: You are really well organized for not having a laptop at all.” I take that as compliment!

What are the requirements of a general-purpose mini-office?

The prerequisite for this, however, is that my mobile phone works so well. This includes for me:

  1. That it has a high amount of RAM that handles all requests quickly, for example, to a word processor.
  2. It makes good pictures and you can edit them accordingly.
  3. And that you can also transfer video and presentations to larger screens.

Inexpensive or expensive?

The question which I now asked and which I would like to answer in the following: Does it have to be a high class Businiess device - or is it also a cheap smartphone for the 200 Euro.

To answer her came the SALE Just right from Gearbest: They made the Maze Alpha available to me free of charge for a product test.

What is the Maze Alpha

Who now asks: Who or what is Maze? Translated, the name means something like “labyrinth”. In fact, there are a number of Chinese manufacturers who are hardly known in this country and who are bringing fairly inexpensive devices onto the market. And Maze is just one of them.

The chic part comes in the Gearbest action costs less than 160 Euro, with a Quick Charge 3.0 power adapter, a USB-C charging cable, quick guides and glass foils for the mobile phone display.

So we are already in the midst of the specification: The display is comparatively large with 6 inch for a smartphone, but I still too small: Since I need a working device, I find 7 inch ideal for me. Even the marginal edge helps a little - even if it looks very chic.

Otherwise you get a lot for your money with the device Money: For example, a display on which you can see content well even in sunlight. Depending on equipment 4-6 GB RAM working memory. An internal memory of 64 GB. And a dual SIM card feature, which I've found essential since realizing how much cheaper data-only plans are.

What does the handling look like in practice?

That reads great first, how does the handling look like in practice? In the normal workflow, when writing texts or eMails about, you can not complain - especially with Android 7 one of the newer Android versions running on the device. For text applications, even if multiple apps are open at the same time, the Octa Core processor and 4 GB RAM are quite sufficient.

It's great to be able to hide the on-screen buttons and instead use the fingerprint sensor, which sometimes runs a bit stubbornly. This creates space on the display!

I was also thrilled with the battery: 4000 mAh is quite a lot and fortunately shows in practice: Even with lively use of the Phablets I had to recharge it only after 1,5 to 2 days - even if I believe that this Duration will shorten with time.

Crack point camera

Another sticking point is for me next to the display size of the dual camera. And since Instagram is an important communication channel for me, that's not a trivial matter.

The photos in good light conditions are in Order and can be further improved with the supplied filters. Even detailed macro shots are possible, but not a blurred background. In low light - and on the big screen, however, there is quite a bit of noise in the image. So neither the photo nor the video quality can be compared with high-class devices.

Conclusion

You can get a practical mobile phone here for relatively little money, that the most important Features a worker People Fulfills. However, these of course do not come close to the top mobile phone league in terms of image or video quality or in terms of working speed - and that is not intended at all.

The device is recommended to everyone who wants a practical device for the common Tasks of a smartphone is required. Anyone who has special requirements or who – like me – wants to do without other mobile devices entirely, will unfortunately still have to dig a little deeper into their pockets in order to satisfy their requirements.
