How about pepper mobile phone? Don't copy from Baidu, it's used, you know, Android is used a lot. Tell me about it. ...

I believe anyone who buys a mobile phone will pay attention to its appearance. My personal position on the appearance of mobile phones is, "I can accept it as long as it is not ugly", and don't make unconventional shapes of crooked melons and rotten dates. Therefore, I am satisfied with the appearance of Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone, and of course it doesn't make me feel amazing. It's not a thin mobile phone, but it's angular. The overall shape is not bad, better than I expected. I always thought it would have a strong cottage flavor, but in fact, the appearance and workmanship exceeded my expectations.

What needs to be praised is that the back of Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone feels good and is very comfortable to hold. As you can see from the back cover, it's still very attentive. My palm is of medium size (male), and I can operate it with one hand. But I often operate with both hands, so the size is ok. Moreover, the back cover seems to have good antifouling property. My hand was wet several times during use, but it was easy to wipe. Therefore, the overall appearance is satisfactory, but in terms of design, I personally have some complaints about the use. I hope that the Zanthoxylum mobile phone can be improved in the future.

1. USB jack design on the right side of mobile phone. There is a USB socket on the right side of the mobile phone, and the area of this socket feels a bit abrupt and uncomfortable to use. If this socket can be moved to the bottom of the mobile phone, it should be better used.

2. The buttons don't feel very good. Generally speaking, the buttons of mobile phones are basically a little convex, which can make us feel squeezed when using them. However, the buttons of Pepper's mobile phone are very convex. When you press it with a little force, the buttons will make a loud sound, which is of course compared with other mobile phones. This is also a defect and deficiency in workmanship.

In addition, because Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone is a new type of internet mobile phone, few people will know it, so you can't buy any film or protective cover outside, and I believe many people who use mobile phones will do some protective measures for their mobile phones, such as sticking a film and wearing a cover. Especially in use, it is inevitable that there will be bumps or something. Something to protect is better than nothing. Therefore, I also hope that the pepper official can provide a film, or a protective cover will be given away or purchased at random. Otherwise the movie problem is really a headache. 2. System, configuration and application.

Now mobile phone hardware is getting stronger and stronger, from dual-core to quad-core, I believe it will be more abnormal and extreme in the future. And I got the dual-core version of Pepper. I use the CPU of Qualcomm S4 MSM8225. I don't care much about the chip anyway. After a rough search on the Internet, S4 is the new platform of Qualcomm and the latest product architecture route of Qualcomm, including low-end and high-end products.

The price of 699 yuan will definitely not give you the highest configuration. The MSM8225 of dual-core Pepper is naturally a low-end CPU chip in Qualcomm S4 product line and an entry-level dual-core product. The CPU frequency is 1GHz, and the fuselage memory and running memory are both 5 12M, which is relatively small. This CPU can basically be said to be the earliest upgraded version of single core 1G, which is Qualcomm QSD8250. Commonly used devices are HD2, G7, X 10, etc. But it is not as single-core as MSM8255, that is, G 1 1 and LT 15i. Basically, the CPU comparison is G7.

Although dual-core is relatively low-end, according to the official documents of Qualcomm, the real selling point lies in the perfect software compatibility of Qualcomm series chips, which makes Pepper's software compatibility very good. Basically, most software and games can run normally. I installed a lot of small software and several games. The big game has a demand for flying cars and can run perfectly. However, 5 12M memory should really be despised. Basically, the installable space reserved for the system is about 30M-40M. If a piece of software is 3M, that is, 10 pieces of software is full ... users who install more software must pay more attention. In addition, I don't know whether I support memory card partition (A2D function), because my memory card has no partition, so I can't test it.

Zanthoxylum mobile phone uses 4.0 system, updated to branch 4.0.4. Although it is not the latest 4. 1, it is still the mainstream. Basically maintained the characteristics of native 4.0, but also made some minor system modifications, such as adding a quick shutdown function (in fact, it means hibernation, just like HTC's 5-second shutdown). In photography, panoramic shooting, file manager and so on have been added. However, there are no functions such as calling place and firewall, and the software needs to be installed separately. It should be noted that Zanthoxylum mobile phone comes with ROOT permission, so you can delete some things yourself, or do some beautification and so on. Several softwares are pre-installed in the system, such as Domi music, Baidu input method, mobile phone housekeeper and so on. However, it can be deleted. Overall, the system is ok. Although there are not many features, it is still very pure.

But one thing is puzzling. Zanthoxylum mobile phone uses native 4.0 system. But without Google service pack, Gmail, electronic market and GoogleMap are all streamlined, probably because the memory is 5 12M, which can be streamlined. But the trouble brought by this is that the contacts can't be synchronized and the software can't be downloaded from the original electronic market. It is suggested that Pepper officially keep Google service package or use it as an optional installation method, otherwise it will bring inconvenience to many people. Of course, it is not excluded that some people do not use Google services at all. ...

Another detail is that the startup time of Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone is relatively long, nearly 1 minute. I'm also thinking, are there too many startup items? 3. The running speed of the system and the overall situation of the software.

In terms of system running speed, in the process of using Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone, there happens to be Xiaomi mobile phone as a competitor. Just do a small test, both machines are in the initial state, without any software installed, and then install a unified third-party desktop, set to the simplest effect. In the same settings and the same desktop environment, we conducted a comparative test. To be honest, even if Pepper is an entry-level dual-core, it is not much worse than Xiaomi in use, and its fluency and application response are similar, but you can feel it when you open the multitasking interface and want to end the background task. I hope this can be optimized in the official version of Zanthoxylum mobile phone.

In terms of software, most of the software has good compatibility, and the actual performance is not bad. The speed of opening multiple programs is also ok. Hanging up QQ, WeChat, listening to music, there is no feeling of being stuck. Of course, I use a lot of small software and few big games. The requirements of flying cars have been tested and run perfectly, and there is no picture loss.

However, it should be noted that the fever of large-scale games such as Running, Need for Speed, etc. is still quite severe, and it can be about 40 degrees, which is really hot. Anyway, it must be higher than the human body temperature, and the heating area is basically concentrated in the camera position and the whole top behind it ... Hey, anyway, the heating problem of playing large games on Android phones seems to have always existed, which is also a problem that dual-core Android and even quad-core Android will always have. In this regard, the iPhone is really doing it.

In addition, I also did some simple tests on music and video. Music basically supports common formats, except APE and FLAC lossless music. In terms of video, because of the entry-level dual-core, it only supports MP4 up to 720P, and RMVB needs software to play, such as Rockplayer. RMVB is not supported as 720. Moreover, when playing 720P video, the fuselage is obviously hot, and it is concentrated in the back camera area as in the game.

Besides, there have been several car crashes in the past few days. Once when I set the wallpaper, I slid it left and right, and suddenly it turned black. Then the whole phone didn't respond, and it was solved after restarting. I just turned it on once, but it hasn't been unlocked yet. No response, it will be solved after restarting. The other is that in texting, typing with your own input method appears stuck, and then the phone gets stuck, and there is no response, so restart to solve it. It is not ruled out that this is the cause of the engineering machine, and the software optimization is still not in place. Dual-core Pepper uses 5 million cameras. In actual use, the camera performance is ok, but the noise is relatively large, and the imaging performance is good at near focus, but the imaging effect is blurred at a long distance, and there is nothing particularly brilliant. Makes me wonder if its camera will be cheaper. However, the price of 699 really deserves this imaging effect. Moreover, the engineering machine also has intermittent anomalies, sometimes slightly better and sometimes worse. I still hope that the official version can solve these unstable problems.

▲ Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone photo proofs

There is basically nothing wrong with taking pictures during the day, and it is not good to take pictures at night, but it seems that basic mobile phones take pictures at night.

Another thing that is speechless is that Zanthoxylum mobile phone does not support touch focusing, so it is really inconvenient to take pictures by pressing the photo button on the screen. Taking pictures should be a common function of many people, which makes me very unaccustomed. However, there is a more practical function on the camera, that is, panoramic shooting is added, which is still practical and can be added with one point. Browsing photos after taking photos is also a bit stuck, which is not very smooth. This should be related to the graphics card chip of Pepper's mobile phone. I checked online, and it's Adreno203 from Qualcomm. (G7 is Adreno200, and G 1 1 is Adreno205). Of course, again, it may be because the construction machine has not had time to optimize.

I am deeply touched by the battery life these days. Zanthoxylum bungeanum mobile phone uses 1500 mAh battery, which is manufactured by Shenzhen Yuxin. Maybe I don't use it very often, and I feel that the battery is still medium. When I went out at 8 o'clock in the morning, I basically received a phone call for 30 minutes, 10 messages. Brush Weibo for 30 minutes, get off work at 6 pm, and still have 40% power. In this case, if you play too much, you must charge it once a day. If you don't use it often, it can last for a day to a day and a half, and the performance is moderate. Of course, everyone uses it differently, depending on their own situation. But nowadays, mobile phones are very power-consuming, and charging once a day is basically a daily habit.

Speaking of batteries, I can't help feeling. In the past, in the Nokia era, a mobile phone battery can last for 2-3 days, which is easy or even longer. Since entering the touch screen era, the battery has become the biggest bottleneck of mobile phones. Android and Apple are nothing more than this, which is really a headache. I am used to connecting my mobile phone to charge from the beginning of my work, so if I am a busy friend, I guess I have to equip myself with a mobile power supply. I really hope to see more new batteries in the near future. 4. Call quality, signal and sound.

One of the biggest highlights of dual-core Pepper is dual-card dual standby, although it is a typical domestic feature. When inserting the card, it should be noted that its two card slots are in the same area, so from the back cover, it was not found to be a dual card machine at first. The card at the bottom is up. It's interesting. By the way, you use a standard SIM card and you don't need to cut it.

In daily use, the signal of pepper is average. In elevators and parking lots with weak signals, there is basically no signal, just like ordinary mobile phones. The signal is not particularly strong, Nokia will basically have 1-2 grid at this time. Qualcomm's baseband chip, signal ability has always been like that, others don't have it, others will have it, just like HTC mobile phones. The WIFI signal is the same, which belongs to the normal performance level, basically at the same level as the WIFI signal of Xiaomi mobile phone, and can bear this price. In addition, the sound you hear during the call seems a little light. I don't know if it's the speaker or the environment I tested. The voice heard by the other party is normal.

Broadcast to Tencent Weibo

The playback volume and sound quality are not bad, which sounds a bit crisp. The sound is still very light and nice, but it's quite loud. However, there is only one external speaker on the lower left of the back of the phone. In the process of listening to music, with headphones, the sound quality is also good. However, compared with domestic Meizu and OPPO, it is still inferior. But as far as the current mobile phone is concerned, if you are not a golden ear, there should be no huge difference in sound quality. The audio chip of mobile phone is one aspect, and the quality of earphone is also one aspect. I don't quite understand this, so I'll kill time. Summary:

Internet mobile phones reached a peak in this period, and it is believed that there will be more blowout periods in the near future. As an atypical Internet product, Zanthoxylum bungeanum is sold on the one hand, and Beidou mobile phone is a zero-experience enterprise on the other hand. Has many years of sales experience in the field of mobile phones, and has a certain scale of after-sales points. Relatively speaking, it has some experience.

At present, the price of pepper dual-core version 699 is the lowest among dual-core mobile phones. Qualcomm MSM8225 is the first time. If you compare Pepper phones with the same price, there is no doubt that both workmanship and system have essential advantages. You should know that this price is basically the price positioning of the cottage smartphone.

Of course, the quality of a product is mainly based on price, but others, including system stability, product quality, brand advantage, after-sales service and so on, are all very important points. Pepper mobile phone has achieved the lowest price uncharacteristically, but we can also see many shortcomings, including 5 12M memory less than 50M available space, unstable engineering machine system, poor camera effect and so on. Since a mobile phone is consumer-oriented, it should be a mature and stable product, and undertake the corresponding later optimization and upgrade. We also hope that the Beidou mobile phone optimization system will effectively push the most mature products to netizens. Transfer word-of-mouth from selling products to operating products.

Generally speaking, Zanthoxylum bungeanum still has a good cost performance. For netizens with a small budget, this price is indeed almost incomparable at present. If we can have more mobile phone Roms, support memory card partition and do more system localization operations, then Pepper's cost performance will be more perfect. I believe this is what more netizens like me expect. In any case, the addition of pepper will inevitably stimulate the price of mobile phone market to rise further, which is always a good thing for us.

In addition, pepper seems to have stopped booking at present, and the first batch of 6,543,800+places is full, which is really hot. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is officially scheduled to be delivered in batches on August 5, so the real arrival of our mobile phone should be in mid-August or September ... I am also looking forward to the official version, hoping that it will have more and better changes and then give you an experience.

Limited level, it is inevitable to write in a hurry. Many places and experiences have not been written or experienced. I hope my heart can bring meaningful reference value to everyone.
