判决
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite不是一款完美的智能手机，这是大多数价格实惠的设备所期望的。然而，当查看整个包装以及花少量钱获得的东西时，TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite是相当划算的。您将获得令人惊讶的出色构建质量(build quality)、外观精美的智能手机、指纹读取器(fingerprint reader)、Android 7 Nougat和小臃肿软件。然而，为了保持较小的成本，必须做出一些妥协。因此，处理器和图形芯片处于性能范围(performance spectrum)的低端（尽管它们的性能比其他类似价格的智能手机更好），而且相机充其量只是平均水平。不过最大的缺点是手机信号接收，本来应该会更好。这个问题是我们没有给这款智能手机最高评价的唯一原因。
硬件(Hardware)规格和包装
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 装(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite)在一个漂亮的白色盒子里，盒子由光面纸板制成。在盒子的顶部，有一个由雕刻细线制成的大 X 和用金色墨水印制的Neffos X1 Lite名称。
在底部，您可以看到主要的硬件规格和其他技术信息。打开包装，您会看到新的 TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 智能手机(Neffos X1 Lite smartphone)坐在纸盘(paper tray)上。
在包装盒中，在智能手机下方，您还可以找到捆绑的配件和文件：电源充电器(power charger)及其可拆卸的USB转 micro USB 2.0 数据(USB 2.0)线、用于弹出SIM卡支架的小针、快速入门指南(start guide)、保修通知(warranty notice)、符合性声明和安全通知(safety notice)。
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 智能手机(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone)有两种颜色可供选择：云灰色和日出金(Cloud Grey and Sunrise Gold)。我们测试的模型是灰色的。
这款智能手机配备 5 英寸屏幕，720p高清显示(HD display)分辨率为 1280 x 720 像素，像素密度为 293.7 ppi。该显示器使用IPS（平面内切换(In-Plane Switching)）技术，因此视角很宽，颜色应该接近自然，但不如您在AMOLED显示器上看到的那么鲜艳。屏幕由 2.5D 防刮曲面玻璃保护。
在内部，TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite由(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite)联发科技 MT6750 芯片组(MediaTek MT6750 chipset)上运行频率为 1.5 GHz的八核 Cortex-A53 处理器提供动力。视频部分由运行在 520 MHZ(MHZ)的 Mali-T860MP2 图形芯片处理。至于内存，智能手机有 2GB 的RAM和 16GB 的内部闪存空间(flash storage space)。此外，您还可以通过添加最大容量为 128 GB 的 microSD 卡来扩展存储空间。(storage space)
这是一款双SIM 卡智能手机(SIM smartphone)，这意味着您可以同时使用两张不同的SIM 卡(SIM card)（都必须是 nano- SIM 卡(SIM)）。不过，虽然两张SIM 卡(SIM card)都可以连接 3G WCDMA或 4G LTE，但一次只能连接其中一张 3G/4G。智能手机采用双卡双待实现(SIM Dual Standby implementation)，这意味着即使两张SIM 卡(SIM card)在您不使用时都处于活动状态，一旦您在其中一个上接听电话，另一个就会变为非活动状态。此外，如果您将 microSD 卡添加到智能手机以增加其存储空间(storage space)，它会占用辅助SIM 卡(SIM card)插槽，这意味着您将无法在智能手机上使用两张SIM 卡(SIM card)。
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 智能手机(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone)上的后置摄像头(rear camera)具有 13 兆像素、AF/2.0 光圈、相位检测自动对焦(phase detection autofocus)和用于弱光条件的双LED 闪光灯。(LED flash)在正面，你会得到一个 5 兆像素的自拍相机和 84° 广角镜头。
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite受益于它从一系列传感器收集的信息：指南针、陀螺仪传感器(gyroscope sensor)、加速度计、环境光传感器(light sensor)、接近传感器(proximity sensor)和指纹读取器(fingerprint reader)。看起来现在越来越多的低预算智能手机正在配备指纹识别器(fingerprint reader)，这很棒。
为了连接互联网和其他设备，TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite配备了兼容 Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n 标准的 Wi-Fi 芯片，可以连接 2.4 GHz和 5 GHz无线网络。此外，智能手机还内置了蓝牙4.1(Bluetooth 4.1)芯片。
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 智能手机(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone)通过容量为 2550 mAh 的内置不可拆卸电池获得自主权。
关于尺寸，您应该知道TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite相当小而薄。其尺寸为长 5.61 英寸（142.6 毫米）、宽 2.80 英寸（71.2 毫米）和厚 0.33 英寸（8.5 毫米）。它重 4.86 盎司或 138 克。

设计和建造质量
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 智能手机(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone)是一款低预算设备。然而，这并没有体现在它的设计和建造质量上。在我们看来，这款智能手机看起来不错，您很容易将其误认为是中端设备。智能手机由金属制成，采用带有对称元素的一体式设计，这意味着无论您喜欢哪只手，都可以轻松使用任何一只手。
设备的背面有一个向边缘弯曲的金属盖，给你的印象是智能手机比它更薄。背面的柔滑饰面和弧形设计使智能手机完美贴合您的手掌。
在智能手机的正面，得益于TP-Link使用的 2.5D 玻璃，您可以获得相同的人性化设计和弧形边缘，让智能手机握在手中感觉自然。
在TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite的正面，朝向顶部，有耳机、前置摄像头(front camera)，在左侧，有一个小LED，它会根据您收到的通知点亮并改变颜色。在顶部的智能手机边缘，您还可以找到用于耳机的 3.5毫米音频插孔。(mm audio jack)
底部正面区域包含默认的Android按钮：返回、主页(Back, Home)和最近的应用程序(Recent apps)。我们喜欢TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite允许您使用(TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite)操作系统(operating system)中可用的设置来配置您喜欢的顺序。此外，在底部边缘(bottom edge)，您可以找到微型 USB 2.0(micro USB 2.0)端口，在其两侧，还有扬声器和麦克风(loudspeaker and microphone)的格栅。
在智能手机的左边缘(left edge)，只有一件事可以找到：SIM卡支持。要取出它，您必须使用智能手机包装中的销针弹出工具(pin ejector tool)，或您桌上的任何回形针。(paper clip)
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite的右侧边缘(right edge)有电源按钮和音量键，(power button and volume rocker)与大多数Android智能手机的位置相同，略靠顶部。您应该可以轻松找到它们。
智能手机的背面是相机模块(camera module)的所在地，其双LED 闪光灯(LED flash)朝向顶部。同样在同一区域，对称放置的还有圆形指纹读取器(round fingerprint reader)，略微沉入外壳内。当您不看智能手机背面时，这使您可以轻松识别和区分相机。在这些元素之下，你还可以看到印有深灰色的neffos品牌名称。(neffos)
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite 是一款面向低预算人群的 Android 智能手机。但是，该公司在该设备的良好设计和制造质量方面没有做出任何妥协。对于这种价格实惠的设备，它们出奇的好。(The TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite is an Android smartphone that is targeted at people with low spending budgets. However, the company has made no compromises when it comes to good design and the built quality of this device. They are surprisingly good for such an affordable device.)

Review TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite: One of the best low budget smartphones!
TP-Lіnk is bеst known for its wireless routers and networking devices. Not many pеoрle know that the comрany has decided to producе smartphones too. In recent mоnths, we haνe reviewed their Neffоs X1 smartphone and, at the timе, we were pleased with what іt had to оffer. Recently, thе company sent us for testing their smаller Neffos X1 Lite ѕmartphоne with Android 7 Nougat. We were curious to see if this is a good smartphone and what it is the difference, other than thе price, between this model аnd its bigger brother. If you are lоoking for an ultra-budget smartphone, rеad this review for the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite:
What is the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone good at?
The TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone is a suitable choice for:
- Essential smartphone needs like making phone calls, browsing the internet, or social media
- People who do not want to spend a lot of money on a smartphone
- Users who want a good-looking smartphone at a small price
Pros and cons
Here's what we liked about the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite:
- Almost anyone can afford this smartphone
- It looks good for a smartphone that is so affordable
- It has a surprisingly good build quality, and a metallic body
- It has a fingerprint reader for comfort and security
- It is a Dual SIM smartphone, and it works with 4G LTE mobile networks
- It comes with Android 7 Nougat
- There are few useless apps bundled on it
There are some less positive aspects too:
- The hardware on this smartphone is underpowered, and that means it will likely get slower over time
- It is not a good choice for taking photos or filming videos
- Gaming is a poor experience on this smartphone
- The mobile reception could be better
Verdict
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite is not a perfect smartphone and this is to be expected from most affordable devices. However, when looking at the whole package and what you get for a small amount of money, TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite is quite a bargain. You get a surprisingly good build quality, a good looking smartphone, a fingerprint reader, Android 7 Nougat and little bloatware. However, some compromises had to be made, to keep the cost small. As a result, the processor and the graphics chip are on the low-end of the performance spectrum (even though they perform better than on other smartphones with a similar price), and the camera is average at best. However, the biggest downside is the mobile signal reception, which should have been better. This issue is the only reason why we didn't give this smartphone our maximum rating.
Hardware specifications and packaging
The TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite arrives in a beautiful white box made from glossy cardboard. On the top of the box, there is a large X made from engraved thin lines and the Neffos X1 Lite name printed in gold ink.
On the bottom, you can see the main hardware specifications and other technical information. Open the package, and you will meet your new TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone sitting on top of a paper tray.
In the box, under the smartphone, you will also find the bundled accessories and documents: the power charger and its detachable USB to micro USB 2.0 cable, a small pin used for ejecting the SIM cards support, the quick start guide, warranty notice, declaration of conformity and the safety notice.
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone is manufactured in two color variations: Cloud Grey and Sunrise Gold. The model that we tested is the gray one.
This smartphone has a 5-inch screen with a 720p HD display resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels and a pixel density of 293.7 ppi. The display uses IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology so the viewing angles are wide and the colors should be close to natural, although not as vivid as what you see on AMOLED displays. The screen is protected by 2.5D scratch-resistant curved glass.
On the inside, the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite is powered by an eight-core Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.5 GHz, on a MediaTek MT6750 chipset. The video part is handled by a Mali-T860MP2 graphic chip running at 520 MHZ. As for memory, the smartphone has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal flash storage space. Also, you can expand the storage space by adding a microSD card with a maximum size of 128 GB.
This is a Dual SIM smartphone, meaning that you can use two different SIM cards (both have to be nano-SIMs) at the same time. However, although both SIM cards can connect to 3G WCDMA or 4G LTE, only one of them can be connected to 3G/4G at a time. The smartphone works in a Dual SIM Dual Standby implementation, which means that even if both SIM cards are active when you are not using them, once you take a call on one of them, the other becomes inactive. Furthermore, if you add a microSD card to the smartphone to increase its storage space, it occupies the secondary SIM card slot, which means that you will not be able to use two SIM cards on your smartphone.
The rear camera found on the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone has 13 megapixels, a f/2.0 aperture, phase detection autofocus, and a dual LED flash for low light conditions. On the front, you get a selfie camera of 5 megapixels with 84° wide-angle lens.
TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite benefits from the information it gathers from a series of sensors: compass, gyroscope sensor, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, and fingerprint reader. It looks like more low-budget smartphones are getting fingerprint readers these days and that is great.
To connect to the internet and other devices, the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite has a Wi-Fi chip that is compatible with the Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n standards and can connect to both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. Additionally, the smartphone also has a built-in Bluetooth 4.1 chip.
The TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone gets its autonomy from a built-in non-removable battery with a capacity of 2550 mAh.
Regarding size, you should know that the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite is rather small and thin. Its dimensions are 5.61 inches (142.6 mm) in length, 2.80 inches (71.2 mm) in width, and 0.33 inches (8.5 mm) in thickness. It weighs 4.86 ounces or 138 grams.

Design and build quality
The TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite smartphone is a device for low budgets. However, that does not show in its design and build quality. In our opinion, this smartphone looks good, and you could easily mistake it for a mid-range device. The smartphone is made from metal and has a unibody design with symmetrical elements, which means that it is easy to use with either hand, regardless which you prefer.
The back of the device has a metallic cover that curves towards the edges, giving you the impression that the smartphone is thinner than it is. The silky finish on the back and the curved design makes the smartphone fit perfectly in your palm.
On the front of the smartphone, thanks to the 2.5D glass used by TP-Link, you get the same user-friendly design with curved edges that makes the smartphone feel natural to hold in your hand.
On the front of the TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite, towards the top, there is the ear speaker, the front camera and, to the left side, a small LED that lights up and changes colors depending on the notifications that you get. At the top, on the smartphone's edge, you can also find the 3.5 mm audio jack used for headphones.
The bottom front area holds the default Android buttons: Back, Home and Recent apps. We like that TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite lets you configure the order you prefer having them, using the settings available in the operating system. Also, on the bottom edge, you can find the micro USB 2.0 port and, to its both sides, the grilles for the loudspeaker and microphone.
On the left edge of the smartphone, there is only one thing to be found: the SIM cards support. To take it out, you must use the pin ejector tool from the smartphone's package, or any paper clip that you have on your desk.
On its right edge, TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite has its power button and volume rocker, found in the same position as on most Android smartphones, slightly towards the top. You should have no issues in finding them easily.
The back of the smartphone is home for the camera module with its dual LED flash towards the top. Also in the same area, placed symmetrically, there is the round fingerprint reader which is slightly sunk inside the case. That makes it easy to identify and differentiate from the camera when you are not looking at the back of the smartphone. Beneath these elements, you can also see the neffos brand name printed in dark gray.
The TP-Link Neffos X1 Lite is an Android smartphone that is targeted at people with low spending budgets. However, the company has made no compromises when it comes to good design and the built quality of this device. They are surprisingly good for such an affordable device.
