Have you noticed how dynamically the mobile device market has been developing recently? In addition to the “established” and familiar “giants” Samsung and Apple, sometimes little-known, but also new brands that are gaining popularity, are on store windows. Moreover, there are so many of them that sometimes it is quite difficult to understand each one.
In this article we will try to study the DEXP phone in more detail. This is a little-known device that has gained some popularity among fans of the Android operating system. Some even call it a “budget flagship” for its fairly good characteristics and at the same time low cost of the smartphone. What is this smartphone – read in this article.
What is DEXP?
So, let's start with the fact that the DEXP brand (Digital Experience - if you decipher the abbreviation) is a Russian-made product. More precisely, the company is Russian, and the components, of course, come from China. This is how budget models of most smartphones supposedly of domestic production are assembled. Anyway.
In general, Russian smartphones with Chinese spare parts are not inferior in quality to “Chinese” ones. True, most of them cannot please you with anything original - they are still the same rectangular shapes, the “standard” MediaTek processor, the same characteristics for the camera and battery.
The obvious advantage of such phones is the price. Yes, the DEXP phone is positioned as a budget and affordable smartphone option. It actually has wide functionality (thanks to the Android OS and some technological bells and whistles), but at the same time it is accessible to a wide range of buyers.
However, let's try to look at the phones of this company in more detail.
What will connecting DEXP B140 to a TV give?
DEXP B140 is a full-fledged multimedia device, which in standard use cases does not require synchronization with home equipment. But sometimes the smartphone needs to be connected to the TV in order to access the following features:
- watching videos on a big screen;
- listening to music through TV speakers;
- gaming on the TV screen;
- displaying the smartphone desktop on TV;
- wireless TV control.
The owner of DEXP B140 can add to the presented list by showing his own imagination. But the fact remains that connecting a phone to a TV is a function that the developers built into the DEXP B140.
You can use several synchronization methods to set up a connection between two devices. Both wired and wireless options are considered. The choice of a specific method depends on various reasons, including the technical equipment of the home, as well as the functionality of the TV. Therefore, before connecting, it is recommended to consider all possible methods.
DEXP model range
If you look at all the devices that come with the DEXP phone, there are quite a lot of them. These are not only touchscreen smartphones running Android, but also push-button devices without support for any OS. This may indicate, at a minimum, experience in the mobile market.
For the purposes of this article, we are interested in the Ixion line, which includes the XL5, ML 4.7 and ES 3.5 smartphones. Of these, the first two models can be called the most popular (and, indeed, successful).
They are positioned as inexpensive, but quite decent devices. Each of the phones includes everything that can be useful to the user of a modern smartphone - camera, calls, Internet, minimal multimedia. Of course, you shouldn’t expect that in the budget segment you will find an alternative to the top flagships of popular brands. However, those Ixion, which will be discussed now, are quite tolerable options.
DEXP Ixion phone: ML 4.7 and XL 5
So, let's start with the ML 4.7 model. It is presented as a smartphone designed for long battery life. This is ensured by a 4000 mAh battery and the well-coordinated operation of the operating system and hardware in general. The device has minimal characteristics (as already noted, similar to Chinese models) - these are 4 cores, an 8-megapixel camera, a 4.7-inch display and a low cost. The DEXP Ixion ML 4.7 phone is an excellent solution for those who would like to experiment with the budget class, as well as those who need an inexpensive, practical device that solves all the necessary (basic) tasks.
Also of interest within the framework of this article is the XL 5 model. This phone is a solution that goes an order of magnitude higher in the technology hierarchy than the previous one described. Here we can talk about an eight-core processor, a camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels, support for two SIM cards (this option, by the way, is also available on DEXP ML 4.7). In general, the DEXP Ixion XL 5 phone is a more expensive device that already claims to be in the upper budget or low middle price class.

I would also like to mention the ES 3.5 model, which is a class lower than the previously described devices. It has only 256 MB of RAM, a weak camera (with a resolution of 0.3 MP), and a low clock frequency. Perhaps, if not for the Android operating system, the phone would have worked faster and responded more quickly to touch, but with such a bulky system, such little computing power is a guaranteed failure. Although the phone is super-budget, it is definitely not recommended to buy it (owner reviews are proof of this). The DEXP Ixion ES 3.5 phone glitches horribly.

Some reviews about the DEXP phone
If you try to determine a more or less acceptable option from the entire DEXP line (for purchase), you can highlight the most advanced, most technologically advanced models of the 5 Series. In particular, this is the XL 5 model currently available on the market. The phone has a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh - this is enough for it to work in active mode for about 2 days. However, be prepared that the processor will get quite hot.
The device is powered by an 8-core MediaTek (it sounds and looks great, but in practice, of course, the processor is not very well balanced, so despite such power, it will experience slight stutters). A camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels is not bad, you can take pictures of text on such a DEXP cell phone - that’s a fact. True, you shouldn’t count on high-quality photography without excellent lighting.
A nice fact is that the device comes with not only a charger and a USB cable. So, as customer reviews show, along with the XL 5, the developer also provides films and cases for the DEXP phone. Yes, they are not of the highest quality (as further experience of wearing and using them shows), but the user does not have to bother ordering new accessories - he will already have everything that is minimally necessary to work with the phone.

Market positioning
Well, we understand that we are not talking about Apple and Samsung technology; and not even about Huawei and Xiaomi. The developers are clearly trying to emphasize that these phones are made in Russia, and they are worth buying purely out of a sense of patriotism. It’s hard to say whether buyers fall for such a trick. However, American, Korean and several Chinese brands continue to be market leaders.
It’s fair to say that you will need to pay less for a new DEXP phone than for its analogues (even with the same parameters). It’s just the quality... It’s difficult to predict how the device is assembled and how it will function in the future. It’s also impossible to note anything about how buggy these smartphones are, is it possible to somehow combat this, are there ways to maximally optimize the powerful (judging by the characteristics) hardware and operating system.
Dexp A140 - Review of the most budget cameraless smartphone on Android
The minimum brightness, of course, is not record high (it can be much brighter), but it is clearly overestimated several times. We have to look for salvation in software that darkens the screen.
The maximum brightness is enough to read information in the sun at right viewing angles. And the contrast is low, which is expected.
The color triangle is configured very poorly in the area of red and green colors - the values are noticeably underestimated and do not cover the entire sRGB space. This means that the colors will be faded and not always realistic. Even when comparing displays (see just above), it is clear that yellow is more similar to orange, and orange, in turn, is more similar to red.
All gray points are located far outside the DeltaE=10 radius - forget about natural gray.
The color chart shows a lack of red and green colors.
Gamma varies from 1.96 to 3.
The brightness graph is mostly below the reference value.
Multitouch is the simplest, designed for two touches. I didn’t notice any particular problems because of this.
There is no oleophobic coating, therefore fingerprints are clearly visible on the screen. And this is quite unexpected, but after a month of use I did not find any scratches on the screen. It was just luck?
Hardware, operating system and software
From the very beginning, the smartphone has about 4 GB of user memory available, and you can free up RAM up to about 170 MB. These numbers are, of course, not enough for comfortable use of a smartphone. Applications quickly fly out of memory, so it is better not to block them with anything, especially if something is being downloaded in them.
I’m glad that the device works successfully with a 64 GB card, but despite the possibility of combining memory, you won’t be able to fully use the card to transfer data from various applications and games to it. Why? You can learn about this from my previous review.
In the same review, you should look for information about the Android Go 8.1 operating system - there is no point in repeating it. The only thing is that in the Dexp A140 the manufacturer, it seems, did not change the operating system at all, so you will not find any third-party applications here, nor any redesigned menu style, settings, etc. Only Google services - only minimalism with the ability to remove the search bar from the main screen. The applications themselves, by tradition, cannot be deleted without root, and methods for obtaining superuser rights have not yet been provided.
When, after the first turn on, I flipped through the interface, it seemed that everything worked faster than in Alcatel 1, but when I tried to turn on applications, I realized that the smartphone is prone to thoughtfulness, which sometimes borders on freezing. I didn’t expect anything good from the Spreadtrum SC7731E processor, due to its budget and the fact that it is a Spreadtrum, even though the processor model is new. In terms of technical characteristics, this is something that could have been found on the market a few years ago - except that the production of such chips has become cheaper.

An attempt to show how a smartphone works:
Information about the smartphone obtained using Device info:
USB-OTG is not supported. My equipment control panel, which is connected via a 3.5 mm jack, also did not want to work.
The only sensor is an accelerometer. At the same time, various software programs provide information about the presence of a proximity sensor, which, in my opinion, is just a software setting, which I tried to convince some users on w3bsit3-dns.com. During a call, you just need to touch the display to turn it off, which means you have to press the device very tightly to your face. Sometimes this causes the curtain to open, and it’s quite possible to press something unnecessary.
Next, we check the so-called proximity sensor using the Sensor Kinetics software, which is capable of drawing graphs. If you press your finger (or something else) on the screen, the graph will jump up and down without stopping - I have never encountered this behavior before. For smartphones that have a proximity sensor, when it is closed or opened, the graph freezes either at the top or at the bottom, depending on the action. I also had smartphones that somehow turned off the screen when I brought my finger as close to the screen as possible without touching it, but the graph also stopped on them. However, it is difficult for me to draw any specific conclusions from this observation.
And one more observation: most often the software setting I described works when you click on the middle part of the screen, but sometimes the graph begins to be written when a finger at the top or bottom touches the screen, but much less often. It’s not entirely clear why this happens—apparently, you need to press it in some clever way.
I was unable to access the engineering menu. I, of course, tried looking for instructions on how to bring up the menu on Spreadtrum processors, but it didn't help. Perhaps the fact is that these instructions were tested on older processor models, and for newer ones there are other methods of gaining access, if they exist at all.
There is no support for ANT+ and MHL.
Computer connection modes.

Glitches and problems with the OS
Occasionally, when I try to unlock my smartphone, I find it turned off. No, not even just turned off - only removing and reinserting the battery helps.
Also, when the phone is locked, its touch buttons can work. If the left and center buttons, when pressed, simply make the phone vibrate, then the right key, which performs the “back” action, wakes up the smartphone. Rebooting the device helps solve the problem for a short time - as soon as you go into some application, the keys start working again when they shouldn’t. Is it worth writing that this can create a lot of problems, like random dialing? In any case, this happened to me.
When applications start downloading, a notification sound is triggered, as if, for example, an SMS had arrived. I haven't noticed this before in other smartphones. Well, I already mentioned slow-down applications. I think the glitches don't end there.
Dr.Web anti-virus, as in the case of Alcatel 1, detected a potentially malicious application, which this time is hidden behind the system update item. Adguard software also agrees with the antivirus and by default blocks some ads, preventing the smartphone from checking for updates (or what is it actually doing there?). This is interesting, since Dr.Web is mentioned on the smartphone’s page - it seems like it should be pre-installed, but it was not originally included in the smartphone.
Connection
Single-band Wi-Fi surprised me with its good signal reception.
Both SIM cards can simultaneously work on the 3G network. Signal reception is at least normal.
Testing with a sound level meter took place under conditions different from those in which I checked the volume of the Alcatel 1 speaker. Therefore, I turned on the alarm sound again on the Alcatel, and then on the Dexp A140 (fortunately, both speakers are located above the screen) - it turned out that the guest was from the DNS only 1 decibel quieter than Alcatel (Dexp - 82.3 dBa from a distance of 50 cm), so with this volume level it is quite possible to hear an incoming call in not the noisiest places. The sound quality of the Dexp A140 is worse than the Alcatel, and at maximum volume you can hear some wheezing.
The sound quality during a conversation is not bad - the interlocutor can be clearly heard, just as they can hear me.
The vibration strength feels a little below average. On a wooden table, the smartphone almost does not slip during a vibration signal, but in your pocket the effect of the vibration motor is slightly felt.

The sound on the microphone is recorded relatively high quality.
Navigation
Surprisingly (or is it normal?), even the A140 has GLONASS, which is confirmed by the number of satellites found. At the same time, the manufacturer indicated on the product page that there is no GLONASS in the device - I discovered the same strangeness when studying Alcatel 1.
Sometimes the device picks up satellites for several minutes, and sometimes it refuses to show my location on the map at all. Moreover, after rebooting the smartphone, the satellites become visible almost immediately. The positioning accuracy is good, and while recording GPS tracks, I did not experience satellite dumps. This applies to both pedestrian and automobile navigation. The only thing is that when the smartphone is stationary, the location on the map constantly changes in different directions - it is better to find another device to record tracks.
Battery and operating time
To begin with, I check the battery capacity again - it is better to do this before testing the operating time, while there is not even a theoretical possibility of battery degradation.
Based on the method of the user Kirich (this time, at his request, I provide a link to his blog), which is associated with the use of an EBC-A10 electronic load. I will describe the method again, giving some additional explanations.
1. We completely discharge the battery in the smartphone, after which we remove the battery and connect it to an electronic load, loading the device with a current of 0.2 C for 30-60 seconds (260 mAh in my case) and remembering the number that the load produced. In the case of my A140, I got a voltage of 3.336 V. It is important to check the voltage under load, and not immediately after connecting to the EBC-A10, since the battery has its own protection, which affects the performance. Then we reinsert the battery into the smartphone and now fully charge it.
2. After fully charging, remove the battery from the mobile device again and reconnect it to the electronic load. Afterwards, we select a discharge with a current of 0.2 C (260 mAh), first to the point at which the smartphone turned off, and then to 4 and 3.8 V. Then do not forget to use a load to charge the smartphone to at least 3.4 V so that it could be recharged in the smartphone itself.
As a result, it turned out that the capacity used by the smartphone is 1266 mAh, and 66 and 11 should be added to this figure (I learned this when discharging to 4 and 3.8 V, respectively) to get the total battery capacity. Adding it up gave a figure of 1343 mAh, which is even more than what is indicated on the battery, so there are no complaints.
And yes, the smartphone charges up to 4.2 V.
A full charge takes approximately three hours from any charger. A detailed charge graph can be downloaded here, and here is a program for opening this graph.
Most of the time, the smartphone charges without surges with a current of 0.48 A, and this figure gradually decreases 2 hours 24 minutes after charging starts.
About how charging occurs:
Where to buy DEXP devices?
Of course, you can purchase phones of this brand in communication stores throughout the Russian Federation. In addition to real stores and stalls with mobile devices, you can also try to order the model you like in an online store. This is done on the Internet in a few clicks, but this way you can find the best price for the device. At the same time, by the way, you can also read reviews about the phone.
You can do it differently: go to a real hardware store, inspect the device, hold it in your hands; then order the same color in your favorite online store, where the price will be much lower.
Phone prices
Now let's touch on the issue of the cost of the devices - one of the advantages of the entire DEXP line. So, the most expensive and most advanced smartphone - XL 5 - will cost the buyer almost 13 thousand rubles. A device with such cool characteristics for this amount can be considered a pretty good deal.
As for the weaker model - Ixion ML 4.7 - it is offered at a price of 6 thousand rubles, which can be classified as an even more “budget” segment.
And the Ixion ES 3.5 is generally a discontinued phone, so it’s not easy to find it on sale new. However, according to data from some online stores, the recommended price of such a device reaches 2 thousand rubles.
Accessories Availability
We provided some information about the phones themselves: we described customer reviews and main characteristics. The article also noted the equipment of one of the “top” devices, which included a set of films and a silicone case.
As customers indicated in their reviews regarding these accessories, their quality leaves much to be desired. The cover quickly becomes unusable, and the film wears away and impairs visibility. In such a situation, you need to know whether it is even possible to purchase a set of tools to protect your smartphone.
Of course it is. The best way to do this is, of course, at Chinese auctions such as Aliexpress. There, sellers offer a wider selection of all kinds of accessories at an affordable price. Whereas domestic stores are, rather, intermediaries and sell the same product at a higher price.
Product Service
The question also arises about what to do with the maintenance of these phones. After all, this is not such a well-known brand - DEXP! A phone produced by this brand may simply not know how to repair it at a service center...
Nothing like this! In fact, there is a network of authorized service centers that you can trust to repair your device. Therefore, do not worry, if problems arise, you can safely call, come and your device will be repaired!
And, of course, you need to remember about thrifty use. And the DEXP phone instructions will help you avoid an unpleasant situation when something was done wrong and led to negative consequences. In fact, let's hope that the quality of the Russian smartphone is such that it will not need to be taken to a service center in most cases.
Wireless Connectivity Options
Methods for setting up connections between devices without using wires are the most convenient and popular. But in order to connect the DEXP B140 to your TV wirelessly, the latter must support Smart TV technology. Otherwise, you can only connect via cable.
Via Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct is a feature that is supported by most Smart TV models. It allows you to display an image from the DEXP B140 screen on a TV receiver. To connect in this way, you must:
- Activate Wi-Fi Direct in the “Network” section of the TV settings.
- On your phone, open settings and go to the Wi-Fi section.
- Press the button with three dots and select Wi-Fi Direct.
- Select your television receiver from the menu of available devices.
After performing these manipulations, you will need to open the file manager or gallery, select the required file, click the “Share” button and select Wi-Fi Direct as the sending method.
Conclusions about the model
Well, it's time to take stock of the listed DEXP phones and the brand as a whole. So, the fact that some domestic company is trying to produce technological products, entering a highly competitive market and even making a certain number of sales is great. Another question is whether they are doing the right thing by stupidly copying Chinese models with 8 cores, a 5,000-capacity battery (meaning 5000 mAh capacity) and other “cool” parameters that are still not capable of ensuring uninterrupted operation?
If we take it in absolute terms, then Ixion phones are cool, they are good budget smartphones that bring technology closer to ordinary consumers. On the other hand, it is difficult to see the purpose of the existence of such a brand. You don’t have to go far to find much better quality products from Meizu, Xiaomi and the like... What’s the point of copying low-quality Chinese products that have already “ripped off” the design of the Samsung Galaxy S1? In fact, such brands simply produce low-quality, similar phones, the point of which is to force the user (focusing on high technical indicators, thinking how powerful and fast this device can be in operation) to buy it. And the fact that there are a lot of such little-known companies selling similar phones is of no interest to anyone. This is not to say that such smartphones are completely unacceptable, no. But they have no meaning on the market, they are copies and clones, that’s all...
However, people buy such phones. Perhaps someone is even satisfied that he gets such a technological solution for such little money. And since there is demand, it makes sense to continue production. Let's hope that the company producing DEXP products will someday take a course on new technologies and, instead of releasing Chinese clones, will start producing something worthwhile.
