Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Beidou pepper mobile phone (if you have used it yourself, you will come). It is well added, but it should be true.

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

What needs to be praised is that the back of Pepper mobile phone feels good and it is very comfortable to hold. You can see from the back cover that it is quite attentive. My palm is of medium size (male), so it is ok to operate with one hand. However, I often operate with both hands, so the size is still ok. Moreover, the back cover seems to be good in antifouling. My hands are wet several times during use, but it is easy to wipe. Therefore, I am satisfied with the overall appearance, but in terms of design, I personally have some complaints in use, and I hope that the pepper 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 little abrupt and uncomfortable when used. If this socket can be moved to the bottom of the mobile phone, it should be better to use.

2. The feel of the keys is not very good. Generally speaking, the buttons of mobile phones are basically a little convex, which can make us feel the feeling of squeezing when we use them. However, the buttons of Pepper mobile phones are very convex, so it takes a little effort to press them, and the buttons will make a loud noise, of course, compared with other mobile phones. This is also a defect and deficiency in workmanship.

In addition, as Pepper mobile phone is a new type of Internet mobile phone, few people will know about it, so you can't buy any film or protective case outside, and I believe many people who use mobile phones will take some protective measures for their mobile phones, such as putting a film on it, wearing a protective case, and so on. Especially in use, it is inevitable that there will be a bump or something. It's better to have something to protect than nothing. Therefore, I also hope that the official pepper can provide a film, or there will be a protective cover to give away or buy at random. Otherwise, the film problem is really a headache. 2. System, configuration and application.

Nowadays, the hardware of mobile phones is getting stronger and stronger, from dual-core to quad-core. I believe it will be even more abnormal and extreme in the future. What I got was the dual-core version of Pepper. I used the CPU of Qualcomm S4 MSM8225. Anyway, I don't care much about the chip. After a general online search, S4 is a new platform in Qualcomm and the latest product architecture route in Qualcomm, including low-end and high-end products.

the price of p>699 yuan will definitely not give you the highest configuration. The MSM8225 used in the dual-core version of Pepper is naturally the low-end CPU chip in Qualcomm S4 product line, which is the dual-core entry-level product. The main frequency of CPU is 1GHz, and the body memory and running memory are 512M, which is relatively small. This CPU can basically be said to be an upgraded version of the earliest single-core 1G, that is, Qualcomm QSD825. The commonly used devices are HD2, G7, X1, etc. But it is not as good as MSM8255, which is also single-core, that is, G11 and LT15i later. Basically, the comparison of CPU is G7 <: Pepper

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 problem very good. Basically, most of the software and games can run normally. I have installed a lot of small software, and there are several games. The big game has a need for flying cars, which can run perfectly. However, the memory of 512M should really be despised. Basically, the installable space reserved by the system is about 3M-4M. If a piece of software is 3M, that is, more than 1 pieces of software will be full ... For netizens who install more software, they must pay more attention. In addition, I don't know if I support memory card partition (A2D function), because my memory card has not been partitioned, so I can't test it.

Pepper mobile phone uses the system of 4., updated to branch 4..4, although it is not the latest 4.1, it is still mainstream. Basically maintained the characteristics of native 4., but also made some minor system modifications, such as adding a quick shutdown function (in fact, it means hibernation, which means HTC's 5-second shutdown and startup). Panoramic shooting, file manager and so on have been added in photography. However, there are no functions such as calling place and firewall, and the software needs to be installed separately. It should be noted that the pepper mobile phone comes with ROOT permission, and you can delete something yourself, or do some beautification and so on. There are several softwares pre-installed in the system, such as multi-meter 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 remains pure.

But one thing is puzzling. Pepper mobile phone uses native 4. system. However, there is no Google service package, and Gmail, electronic market and GoogleMap have all been streamlined, probably because the memory is 512M, and all of them can be streamlined. However, the trouble brought by this is that the contacts can't be synchronized and they can't download software in 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 doesn't rule out that some people don't use Google services at all ...

Another detail is that the startup time of pepper mobile phone is relatively long, which takes nearly 1 minute. I wonder, too, 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 Pepper mobile phone, we happen to have Xiaomi mobile phone, a competitor. Just do a small test, the two machines are in the initial state, without any software installed, and then install a unified third-party desktop, which is set to the simplest effect. In the same setting and the same desktop environment, we have a comparative test. Honestly, even if Pepper is an entry-level dual-core, it is not much different from Xiaomi in use, and its fluency and application response are similar, but when you open the multi-task interface and want to end the background task, you can feel it. I hope this can be optimized in the official version of the pepper mobile phone.

in terms of software, most of the software are very compatible, and the actual performance is not bad. The speed of opening multiple programs is also ok. I hung up QQ, WeChat and listened to music, but I didn't feel stuck. Of course, I use a lot of small software, and there are very few big games. The need for flying cars has been tested to 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 is still quite severe, it can be about 4 degrees, and it can be felt that it is really hot. Anyway, it must be higher than the human body temperature. The fever area is basically concentrated in the camera position and the whole top behind it ... Alas, it seems that the fever problem of playing large-scale games on Android iPhone has always existed, which is also the dual-core of Android, and even the current quad-core will be.

In addition, in terms of music and video, I also did a little simple test. Music basically supports common formats, except APE and FLAC lossless music. In terms of video, due to the entry-level dual-core, only MP4 up to 72P is supported, and RMVB needs to be played by software, such as Rockplayer. RMVB of 72 is not supported. Moreover, when playing 72P video, the fuselage is obviously hot, and it is concentrated in the back camera area as in the game.

in addition, in the past few days, there have been several crashes. Once, when setting wallpaper, I swiped the wallpaper left and right, and suddenly it turned black. Then the whole mobile phone didn't respond, and it was solved after restarting. Once it was just turned on, and then it hasn't been unlocked yet. There is no response, and it will be solved after restarting. The other is that in texting, there is a jam in typing with its own input method, and then the phone gets stuck and there is no response, so restart to solve it. It is not ruled out that this is due to the engineering machine, and the software optimization is still not in place. The dual-core version of Pepper uses a 5 million camera. 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. Let me wonder if its camera will be cheaper. However, the price of 699 is indeed worthy of this imaging effect. Moreover, there are intermittent abnormal situations in the engineering machine, sometimes it is slightly better, and sometimes it is relatively poor. I still hope that the official version can solve these unstable problems.

▲ Pepper mobile phone photo sample

There is basically no big problem in taking photos during the day, and it is not good to take photos at night, but it seems that the basic mobile phone takes photos at night.

Another thing that is very speechless is that Pepper's mobile phone does not support touch focusing, and you have to press the photo button on the screen to take photos, which is really inconvenient. Taking pictures should be a common function for many people, which makes me very unaccustomed. However, there is a more practical function on the camera, which is to add panoramic shooting, which is still practical and can add one point. There is also a little card in browsing photos after taking photos, which is not very smooth. This should be related to the graphics chip of Pepper's mobile phone. After checking online, it belongs to Adreno23 in Qualcomm. (G7 is Adreno2, G11 is Adreno25). Of course, again, maybe it's because the construction machine hasn't had time to optimize.

The battery life has been deeply felt in the past few days. Pepper's mobile phone uses a 15 mAh battery, which is manufactured by Shenzhen Yuxin. Maybe I don't use it very often, and I feel that the battery is still moderate. When I go out with a full charge at 8: in the morning, I basically receive a phone call for 3 minutes and a dozen messages. After brushing for 3 minutes, Weibo gets off work at 6: in the evening, and there is still 4% of the electricity left. According to this situation, it is definitely necessary to charge it once a day if I play more. If I don't use it very often, I can persist for one day to one and a half, and my performance is moderate. Of course, everyone uses it differently, and it depends on their own situation. However, the current mobile phone costs a lot of electricity, and it is basically a daily habit to charge it once a day.

when it comes to batteries, I can't help feeling. In the past, in the Nokia era, a battery of a mobile phone could be used for 2-3 days, easily or even longer. Since entering the era of touch screen, the battery has become the biggest bottleneck of mobile phones. Android and Apple are nothing more than this, which is really a headache. I have been habitually connected to my mobile phone to charge since I started 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 the dual-core version of Pepper is dual-card dual standby, although it is a typical domestic feature. When inserting a card, it should be noted that its two card slots are in one area, so from the back cover, it was not found to be a dual card machine at first. And the card at the bottom is chip up. It's quite 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, and there is no signal in elevators and parking lots with weak signals, just like ordinary mobile phones. The signal is not particularly strong, and Nokia will basically have 1-2 frames at this time. Qualcomm's baseband chip, the 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 afford this price. In addition, the sound heard during the call seems to be a little light. I don't know if it is the speaker problem or the environmental problem I tested. The sound heard by the other party is normal.

it's ok to broadcast it to Weibo, Tencent.

It sounds a little crisp. The voice is still light and pretty, but it's quite loud. However, there is only one external speaker, which is on the lower left of the back of the mobile phone. In the process of listening to music, with the headphones, the sound quality is also good. However, compared with domestic Meizu and OPPO, it is still inferior. However, 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 the mobile phone is on the one hand, and the quality of the earphone is also on the other hand. I don't know much about this, so I'll pass the time. Summary:

Internet mobile phones have reached a peak during this period, and I believe there will be more blowout periods in the near future. Pepper as an atypical Internet product, on the one hand, it is based on Internet sales, on the other hand, Beidou mobile phone is an enterprise with zero experience. It has many years of sales experience in the field of mobile phones and a certain scale of after-sales points. Relatively speaking, it has some experience.

The price of Pepper Dual-Core Edition 699 broadcasted to Tencent Weibo

At present, it is the lowest price in dual-core mobile phones. Qualcomm MSM8225 is the first time to appear. If we compare Pepper mobile phone with the same price, there is no doubt that it has essential advantages, both in terms of workmanship and system. You should know that this price is basically the price positioning of the cottage smartphone.

of course, the quality of a product is dominated by price, but the rest, including system stability, product quality, brand advantage, after-sales service and so on, are all important points. Pepper mobile phone has achieved the lowest price uncharacteristically, but we can also see its many shortcomings, including less than 5M available space in 512M memory, the unstable system of engineering machine at present, the camera with poor effect and so on. Since a mobile phone is oriented to consumers, it should be a mature and stable product, and undertake the corresponding post-optimization and upgrade. We also hope that Beidou mobile phone will optimize the system and effectively push the most mature products to netizens. Move word of mouth from selling products to operating products.

Generally speaking, pepper still has a good cost performance. For netizens with a small budget, this price is really almost unmatched at present. If we can have more mobile phone Roms, support memory card partition at the same time, and do more system localization operations, then Pepper will make its cost performance more perfect. I believe this is what more netizens like me expect. In any case, the participation of pepper will inevitably stimulate the further adjustment of the price of the mobile phone market, which is right for
