S65 evaluation-please review by experts from all walks of life

S65 review:

Appearance:

S65 has an outstanding appearance, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as "gentleman". The black panel is interspersed with matte silver tones, fully revealing the noble temperament of S65. The body gradually narrows from top to bottom, highlighting the large screen area. The silver mesh earpiece is full of technology, and the "SIEMENS" and "S65" The logo is shiny silver.

Under the large screen is the S65’s stylish keyboard, which has a “T”-shaped structure in the middle. Two rows of keys are arranged on both sides. Two silver lines run through the middle of the keyboard area. This design is tough and powerful. The S65 won rounds of applause. The entire keyboard area has a pure black background and is covered with transparent hard plastic, which immediately shows its fashion sense. The five-dimensional navigation key is dotted in the center like a finishing touch, achieving a very good visual effect. The top of the joystick is designed with rubber particles and has an excellent feel. If the keyboard design of the S65 is strong and powerful, then the illumination of the white cold light is even more cold, showing a crystal-like visual effect through the refraction of the plastic material. The five-dimensional joystick feels quite good, and the control is convenient and comfortable. However, the gaps around it are too large, and there are concerns about dust getting in. The left and right soft keys are not large in area, but there is no need to worry as they have non-slip contacts to enhance the feel. The buttons feel good, and there are obvious grooves between each button, but the area is a bit too small, and you may occasionally press the wrong button when typing information. There are grooves on both sides of the fuselage, which greatly enhances the feeling of control. Both sides of the phone are quite simple, with the infrared interface on the lower left side and the up and down side buttons on the right side. The S65 does not place the side buttons on the left side of the phone as usual, but on the right side. Fortunately, it does not cause any inconvenience to the operation. On the contrary, through the large gap surrounding the side buttons, the internal parts can be vaguely seen, which is worrying about the dust entering. We believe that this situation should not occur. The bottom of the phone is equipped with a multi-function interface and an RS-MMC slot. The multi-function interface can be connected to chargers, data cables, flashes, headphones and other external accessories. The RS-MMC port is protected by a rubber plug, which finally avoids dust harassment, but The connection between the plug and the fuselage is not very ideal, and it may become loose after being used for a long time. S65 comes with a 32M RS-MMC card. The size of RS-MMC is only half of that of ordinary MMC, and the thickness is the same. In order to maintain a high degree of compatibility with ordinary MMC, the package is also equipped with a card holder. The RS-MMC with the card holder installed is the same size as an ordinary MMC, making it easy to put it into a card reader or other devices. Unlike the front of the phone, which is dominated by black, the back of the S65 is pure silver, which is very simple. The most eye-catching thing is of course the 1.3-megapixel camera. “1.3 MEGA PIXEL” printed on the silver frame surrounding the camera also indicates its megapixel shooting capabilities. The S65 is not equipped with a selfie mirror. The outer frame is also very reluctant as a selfie mirror. The back cover is well connected to the body without any looseness. The 750mAh lithium battery is still there. It would be more ideal if it could have 850mAh or more. After all, the S65 has a large screen, a 1.3 million pixel camera, MP3 player and many other functions. Features are battery killers. With a 750mAh lithium battery, the S65 gives us about 2 days of use, which is pretty good. Among megapixel phones, the S65 belongs to the compact category. The combination of silver and black is not unique to S65, but only S65 can display this temperament vividly. The overall style is grand, noble and graceful. Even girls can't help but exclaim "Wow, so beautiful!" when they see it! It can be concluded that every inch of the S65 has been carefully crafted, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation as Siemens' latest trump card.

Screen:

The eye-catching large screen has become a standard feature of Siemens, and the same is true for S65. 65536-color TFT is also a popular configuration nowadays. The colors are quite bright and outstanding. The brightness and contrast are at a high level. There is basically no delay or afterimage. The performance is good, but like the CX65, it will be a bit tiring after watching it for a long time. It seems It's because of the low refresh rate. With a large screen, the resolution is not satisfactory, only 132×176, so slight graininess is inevitable. Siemens has designed a variety of new wallpapers and animations for the S65, showing the rigorous style of German industry. The S65 also has complete theme settings that support full replacement of wallpapers, screensavers, menu colors, etc. The replacement speed is also relatively fast and very convenient.

The power-on and off animations can also be set by oneself. Large font setting has become a signature feature of Siemens. Of course, the S65 is also indispensable. Moreover, the S65 also has 0% to 100% backlight brightness adjustment, which provides convenience for power-saving users. If the setting is only for daily use, 20% to 30% brightness is enough. As a business model, the S65 is not equipped with a power-consuming side flash, which saves a lot of precious power for the phone.

Ringtone:

Full of "Siemens-style" ringtones, the volume is still sufficient, but the sound quality is still lackluster. The built-in music has a strong rhythm but is a bit noisy, perhaps because of the sound quality. The actual performance of the so-called 40-polyphonic sound system is hard to agree with. The supported ringtone formats include MID, WAV, MMF, AMR, etc. We found out a little regretfully. S65 cannot play MP3 files. Continuing the extremely rigorous style of the Germans, there are a dazzling number of setting options, and ringtones can be set for almost every event that occurs in daily life in meticulous detail. There are 8 groups of scene modes to choose from, all of which can be adjusted in detail respectively, which reflects the powerful functions of S65 from the side. Although there was a lot of talk earlier about S65 fully supporting MP3/FM, many players also agreed that since S65 supports memory card expansion, it must support MP3 - it turns out to be wrong, S65 does not provide support for MP3 and FM. The entertainment clan is indeed depressing. Although Nokia 3650, 7610, etc. do not officially support MP3, they can be expanded through software. However, the S65 is not an intelligent system. It seems that the S65 has no connection with MP3. In fact, there is no need to worry about the MP3 issue. You must know that the S65 is a mobile phone completely oriented to the business market. Everything about it is designed for business. Although the absence of MP3 makes people feel a little regretful, MP3 playback is very important for business. For professionals, it is dispensable. On the other hand, if you look at the positive benefits it brings - such as reduced mobile phone costs and greatly enhanced battery life, you can understand the significance of Siemens' move. It also makes the S65 more business-friendly. Rich.

Photography:

For S65, photography is a very interesting topic. Of course, the first thing we think of must be its powerful 1.3 million pixel capture capability, which can generate up to 1280 How can you not covet photos with ×960 resolution? The high-protruding camera on the back has already shown people how powerful it is, and it is also one of the important selling points of the S65. The number of shots is marked on the upper right side of the viewfinder. This thoughtful design has been adopted by most manufacturers. Observed from the actual sample, the S65 image is quite clear, the colors are distinct, and the corners of the objects are sharp. Even when shooting against the light, the S65 does not have obvious purple fringing or halo, and the details are quite good, except for a slight color cast at the corners, which makes People are unhappy. Why is it fun to shoot with S65? Because in low-light environments, the shortcomings of the S65 are revealed. Partial exposure transitions, detail restoration is average, and obvious noise spots and spots appear, which is in obvious contrast with the excellent results during the day. Since the S65 is not equipped with a flash, even close-up shots at night are difficult to achieve, and the lack of a self-portrait mirror also imposes high technical requirements on self-portraits. Fortunately, the shooting adjustment of the S65 is quite complete. Video recording can be done in MMS format or for the longest time. MMS clips will limit the capacity to 100K, which is equivalent to 12 seconds of recording time. Photos and videos can be placed on the memory card, which is quite considerate. Using the maximum resolution, the highest quality photo size is about 250~300K, the compression rate is very small, and the photo details are fully restored. RS-MMC also provides sufficient support for the memory space. Although the S65 has a megapixel camera, it does not maximize its power, which makes people feel that it is a fly in the ointment.

Phonebook:

The detailed phonebook records of the S65 are comparable to those of smartphones. It can record a wide range of types and supports grouped ringtones, incoming call photos and thoughtful birthday reminder functions. Moreover, the phone book has a business card structure, which means that even if all the information under one entry is filled, it will only occupy the space of one phone book. The S65 has prepared up to 1,000 storage locations for us, which can be described as massive. There are many recorded entries, and searching is a troublesome task. It doesn't matter, because in addition to multiple search methods, S65 can also set up multiple groups to take care of all aspects of life.

If that's not enough, S65 can sort and filter in a variety of ways to accurately find the information you want from numerous phone entries as quickly as possible.

Information:

Siemens’ input method has a strong personal style. The method of long pressing the number keys to select words has never changed. As long as you get used to it, input is still quite fast. The response speed of the phone is also good. The temporary storage capacity of text messages is 100, which can be moved to the body memory. It is worth mentioning that S65 also has its own unique aspect of font settings. You can set font size, color, arrangement, etc., which is very good. SMS and MMS are managed in a mixed manner. The MMS function of the S65 is quite excellent. In addition to supporting the sending of pictures, ringtones, animations, recordings, and videos, it also provides the sending of business cards, note items, and any files. It is very comprehensive, and the format of MMS is There are also a variety of options to choose from, including changing fonts, colors, and background patterns.

Practical functions:

When it comes to the business functions of S65, we can only say "powerful"! Relying on Siemens' long-standing achievements in business functions, the S65 can be said to be the most complete and powerful among all Siemens mobile phones, even comparable to smartphones. In the "Business Assistant" and "Additional Functions" menus, we can find all the S65's business function options, which is indeed a bit dazzling. Various functions are divided into categories, each of which sticks to its own position, including schedule, tasks, alarm clock, recording, calendar, unit conversion, calculator, stopwatch... covering many aspects of applications. If you look closely, you will find that some function menus are repeated. Perhaps Siemens hopes that users can quickly access these functions in each menu, but this inevitably leads to an increase in menu entries and complexity. Each function has personalized adjustments and is very powerful. It is indeed a good personal assistant for business people. Since the S65 has about 10M of memory space and supports RS-MMC expansion, a useful resource manager is essential. Siemens has equipped the S65 with a resource manager that has functions equivalent to WINDOWS. The directories are clearly classified, the internal memory and the RS-MMC card are managed separately, and the file operations are easy to operate, which is worthy of praise

I have never used this phone. , but after using it, my friends said it was good and cost-effective, so I still have to recommend it!
