1000 yuan? Nubian Z5Sn evaluation

IT 168 evaluation Nubian Z5S was released at the end of last year, and the spot 1999 yuan is also a very conscientious industry. However, in the same period, Nubia also released Z5Sn, with a price of 2999 yuan. Yes, it's 2999 yuan. This mobile phone with similar configuration to Nubian Z5S actually comes out of thin air 1000 yuan. Of course, the existence is reasonable. Why is this phone more expensive than the Z5S of 1999 yuan? In fact, the author is as curious as you.

In fact, at the beginning of its release, Nubian Z5S had only two versions, one was Z5S supporting triple play and 3G, and the other was Z5S LTE fully compatible with 4G network based on the former, which was called 7-mode 14 frequency. Unfortunately, due to related policy issues, Z5LTE could not be successfully launched, so Nubia launched another variant version of Z5Sn for telecom users, castrating 4G on the basis of the original Z5LTE, and only retaining 3G. What's the difference between Nubian Z5S and Nubian Z5Sn? Let's look at the table first. Comparison between Nubian Z5sn and Z5S parameters

Obviously, compared with the 16GB version of Nubian Z5S with a price of 1999 yuan, the Z5Sn we evaluated is different in terms of memory, and 32GB of storage space is very necessary for a mobile phone that does not support memory expansion. On the other hand,

"The lens aperture of this phone is 2.0, which supports optical image stabilization and improves the level of the lens.

But obviously, the difference is 1000 yuan, and the difference between the two should be more than that, so in order to find out. We accept problems and solve them in turn. "Question 1: Is there a difference of 1000 yuan?

Looking at the table, we know roughly the parameter differences between them, but in fact this is not all their differences. So before the evaluation, the author calculated another account. This evaluation

"Z5Sn includes wired headphones in the official standard, but Z5S does not include headphones in the standard.

I also made a special inquiry in official website, and the purchase price of this earphone was 149 yuan. "

Bian Xiao has also made a preliminary use of this headset. Headphones have good intermediate frequency and sound reproduction. "This appeal is very clear and true.

Wire control can answer and hang up the phone, and can also be used as a shortcut key for music start and pause; But from the point of view of music, the low frequency is mixed, the whole is scattered, and the high frequency is not malleable. "Taking it as a song is really unsatisfactory.

Therefore, "callers can consider starting, and those who have a little pursuit of sound quality can directly bypass."

. On the other hand, the price of official website's 32GB version of Z5S now needs 2 199 yuan.

Therefore, for 32GB Z5Sn, the actual price is only 2999(32GB Z5Sn price) -2 199(32GB Z5S price)-149 (earphone price) =65 1 yuan, instead of 1000 yuan in the impression.

At the same time, the color of Z5Sn fuselage is white, which greatly damages the appearance of white control. But pay attention to the users themselves. For users who have already planned to buy the 16GB version, the added value of 32GB is actually of little significance. Only from this perspective,

"The difference between the two mobile phones is 85 1 yuan.

"Question 2: Do you support 4G networks?

In fact, at the beginning of getting this product, I still had expectations. After all, it's a lot more expensive. Maybe I'll leave some surprises on the low-key network support. But the actual effect is still quite disappointing. We don't talk nonsense, just test the conclusion. It is not difficult to see from the figure that,

"Nubian Z5Sn maintains the traditional three-network 3G, but the author's mobile 4G card does not show the 4G network.

So, in a word, Nubian Z5Sn really can't use any standard 4G as the official said. But we still have questions about this product, such as 85 1 yuan. What's the difference? Why did you choose the 32GB version of product memory? Let's move on to the next page.

"Question 3: What is the significance of large aperture+optical image stabilization?

"

It is not difficult to see from the table on the previous page that the most intuitive difference between Nubian Z5Sn and Z5S is that in the camera part, Nubian Z5sn is equipped with OIS optical image stabilization technology and a larger F/2.0 aperture, which is much higher than the ordinary version of Z5S. So what kind of practical difference will this promotion bring? Let's compare it with several sets of photos taken in the same place and position.

▲ Macro proofs are Z5S on the left and Z5Sn on the right (click on the picture to see the original).

▲ Screenshot of partial details: Z5Sn on the left and Z5Sn on the right (click on the picture to see the original picture) First of all, it is a set of macro photos. The precise focusing distance of Z5SN in the original image is much better than that of Z5S, and the focusing success rate is also higher, which is also the advantage of F2.0' s large aperture. Zooming in the details of the same position in the two photos, we can see that Z5S has a certain smearing feeling.

▲ Macro proofs are Z5S on the left and Z5Sn on the right (click the picture to see the original) ▲ Screenshot of local details is Z5S on the left and Z5Sn on the right (click the picture to see the original).

Another set of macro proofs, due to the advantage of larger aperture, have more delicate details. After the arrow is enlarged by 150%, the details of the black concave part of the arrow Z5s are not very clear, but Z5Sn still retains some details. Of course, the optical anti-shake function added by Nubian Z5Sn can't be displayed well during the day, so we take the night proofs directly.

▲ The night sample is Z5S on the left and Z5Sn on the right (click on the picture to see the original).

▲ Screenshot of local details left Z5S right Z5Sn (click on the picture to see the original picture)

Due to the lack of light at night, the exposure time of the mobile phone has to be extended, so the Z5S without anti-shake has sufficient brightness, but the font is burnt out in detail. The Z5Sn with optical image stabilization shows good details, but the word Yoshinoya is still overexposed.

▲ The night sample is Z5S on the left and Z5Sn on the right (click on the picture to see the original).

▲ Screenshot of local details left Z5S right Z5Sn (click on the picture to see the original picture)

The effect of the other group can be said to be similar to that of the previous group.

"The role of optical image stabilization in the night scene is quite obvious.

Especially now it's freezing, so it's not easy to take a photo with your mobile phone. It is really difficult to ensure that you have a pair of stable and balanced "iron hands". To sum up, thanks to the larger aperture and optical image stabilization,

"Nubian Z5Sn is really superior in macro and night vision.

. In addition, this phone has also added the function of independent metering, but I believe Nubian Z5S will also join in the firmware update in the future. "Overall, Nubian Z5Sn is really a little stronger in taking pictures.

"Question: Why did Z5Sn choose the 32GB version?

As we said before, Nubia made a logically correct decision in the face of 4G castration. However, why did the product choose the 32GB version instead of the lower-priced 16GB version like Nubian Z5S? I think this is partly because manufacturers want to widen the gap between the two products, and it is also related to the characteristics of the products themselves.

Many netizens may have noticed that in the table column, we saw many hardware features of Nubian Z5Sn. For example, 1080P OGS full-fit screen, the first Dolby pro logic +dts dual decoder in China, and SlimPort (low-power mobile phone display connection technology) all provide an excellent innate environment for audio and video playback. In this case, if the memory of the fuselage is not large, it will inevitably affect the experience in use.

At the same time, Nubian Z5Sn has built-in OIS optical image stabilization. At present, this function only appears on the flagship models of international brands, and it has outstanding performance not only in night photography, but also in panoramic photography and video shooting.

"It is conceivable that so many audio and video functions occupy the memory of the fuselage, so it is not unreasonable to say that Nubian Z5Sn will expand the memory to 32GB.

As for the specific storage of this mobile phone, the author will explain it later. Therefore, users who care about "the difference between two mobile phones" or "whether to buy Z5sn or Z5S" can completely forget these. If it is an ordinary user, then it is enough to buy Nubian Z5S, and there is no need to be too entangled. If you are a real audio-visual enthusiast, it is relatively reasonable to buy Z5Sn to get a better experience in video photography, listening to songs and watching movies. It's just that the current price of 2999 yuan is still at a relatively high level, so we can wait and start again.

After talking about the difference and understanding the difference between the two, I think it is a bit unkind to write a "manual" evaluation of the product released for 2 months with you. So on this page, I'm going to sit down and talk to you about the experience of this product in use. See if Nubian Z5s series is a veritable cost-effective artifact.

The first thing to say is the appearance and feel. After all, if you hold something in your hand all day, you must first "satisfy" your hand. Nubian Z5s series fuselage specification is 137.7x70x7.6mm, and it has a 5-inch ultra-narrow bezel screen, and the screen ratio of up to 72.02% makes the visual impact on the front of the fuselage great; Thanks to the big screen and small body, the whole machine has a good grip.

To paraphrase a colleague: "A 5-inch screen achieves a 4.5-inch effect".

In addition, when it comes to the excellent appearance and feel of this phone, I have a real example. In life, the author's mother is actually a digital enthusiast (infected by Bian Xiao, embarrassed). There are countless machines that are usually evaluated at home, but only three or five models are praised by her old man. Among them, Nubian Z5S ranks among them.

. Next is the system part. Looking around at the cost-effective artifact of 2000 yuan, the most concerned is nothing more than Xiaomi 3 and Meizu MX3. Coincidentally, both of them have the best system experience in China. Therefore, although Nubian Z5S series has the conditions to operate the grain stabilizer with one hand, if the system is not satisfactory, everything is empty talk.

When it comes to Nubian system experience, the first word that comes to mind is "worry-free". As for how to save the soul, let's look at daily applications first.

For basic applications such as address book, telephone, SMS, photos, Nubian's function coverage is very good and its functions are very detailed. Compare MIUI and Flyme OS.

It doesn't fall in the wind, so the basic application experience is enough to reassure you that most operations don't need the help of third-party software. "In addition, six Nubian models have been adapted to MIUI. Although Z5Sn has no firmware to brush, it is believed that it will not be too far from formal adaptation. At that time, you were free to choose the system you were used to.

The second worry is reflected in the roots of mobile phones. although

"Nubian Z5S series is obviously not open to Xiaomi and Meizu on the issue of system ROOT.

If you want to get permission, you still have to toss it manually, but Nubia has taken a different approach and strengthened the experience in non-root situations. In fact, many friends around me ROOT their mobile phones for nothing more than "firewall", "deleting software", "beautifying" and "playing games". In view of the above problems, Nubia uses the built-in "cowboy electrician" management software to start, which greatly simplifies the system application, can manually uninstall its own programs, start DIY desktop, and solve the first three problems. As for the last one, it seems a little helpless.

"But for ordinary users, to do this, you basically don't need ROOT.

For a smart phone, don't worry about running traffic, don't worry about background startup, and don't worry about bringing too many programs. Actually, it's already very worry-free. The last concern is data recovery.

"In addition to the backup of contact messages, Nubia can also back up application and program data, so that you don't have to worry about complicated data collation and application installation when changing your mobile phone every day.

Like the author, you often need to change your mobile phone. If you use this data backup, you really don't have to restore the data and set up the application. After talking about the system, the author also wants to talk about storage. As a mobile phone with non-expanded memory, you can't change the battery back and forth. Life and storage are things you can't understand before buying, but they greatly affect the experience during use. After the author's actual measurement,

"Basically,

16GB version of Nubian Z5s series, the actual available storage space is 9GB, while the available space of this 32GB version at hand is about 24GB.

Basically, the minimum version of 16GB is enough for ordinary non-players.

"If you like watching videos and playing games, consider the 32GB version.

This is the end of the evaluation. On the one hand, we learned that

"Nubian Z5Sn has advantages in taking photos, storage capacity and accessories headphones.

; On the other hand, I also learned that this mobile phone does not support 4G networks as rumored.

As for whether the price difference between 0 yuan and 0 yuan is worth buying, it can only be said that people have different opinions. "Only from the author's personal point of view, in fact, Nubian Z5Sn is not worth buying, and Nubian Z5S of 1999 yuan is really worth starting with.

In the second half of the evaluation, we also talked about the characteristics of Nubian Z5s series, and its strength as a cost-effective artifact is indeed beyond doubt. Putting the products in the whole environment, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Nubia to use JD.COM. The hand of COM exerts its strength in the era of e-commerce. "Learn from excellent systems and gradually improve yourself, plug and play 3G with three networks in one." These characteristics make many people see the trend of its all-round rise. However, there are two flowers, one for each table. In the present era, Xiaomi has a huge momentum in China, and Meizu has already pointed to the international market. How did it proudly win the first place in the e-commerce melee? Maybe the double 4G will really be the final answer.
