Glory quality casting play without Caton glory play 6A evaluation

Review of IT 168 Evaluation A few years ago, when Internet mobile phones were still hot, many brands emerged to enter the mobile phone market by relying on thousand yuan machines, trying to compete for the so-called "Internet outlet". In the past two years, with the rising price of mobile phone parts and the characteristics of "consumption upgrade" of users, the demand for smart phones in the low-end user market is not high, and the profit of single products is less. The exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is from 16, and the thousand yuan machine is not as hot as it was a few years ago. The data shows that by 20 16, the average selling price of smartphones in China has increased from 1256. 1 1 yuan a year ago to 17 14. Therefore, in the mobile phone market in the Red Sea, there are very few people who can make thousand yuan mobile phones in a planned way until today, and one of them has always been firmly taking the glory of the Internet brand. After several years of operation, glory has three series of rich product lines of X/C/A and precise control of product positioning in the thousand yuan file. What I bring to you today is a new product just released: Glory Play 6A.

Simply combing, HONOR is divided into Wan Wan series/Glory N, Glory V and Glory Note flagship series. Among the three products of Wan Wan series, Wan Wan A series is mainly positioned in the aspect of high cost performance, and defines the new quality of thousand yuan machine with proud "glory quality" to create a smooth and durable thousand yuan machine. From the perspective of market segmentation, many users in some fourth-and sixth-tier cities only focus on the most basic functions such as making phone calls and sending WeChat. Such users are often more concerned about the balance between the price and quality of mobile phones. This demand is also the basis for the development of glory play series. In this part of the article, let's take a look at the hardware configuration of this glory 6A.

Glory Play 6A adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon eight nuclear processor, with a 5-inch resolution of 720P, and its memory is divided into 2/3gb+16/32gb (emmc5.1), followed by Sony IMX278 sensor,13 million pixels and a battery capacity of 3020mAh. To the author's surprise, glory actually added support for 2.4G/5G dual-band Wifi in the thousand yuan machine, and also supported fingerprint recognition. In terms of hardware configuration, Glory Play 6A is a good configuration. In addition, Glory adopts the proud "Glory Quality Test" and adds the reliability TTF test (commonly known as "test to death") in the test process to find out the quality shortcomings of mobile phone products in time and correct them. Even on the thousand yuan machine, we can have the same quality assurance as flagship machine.

Appearance part:

Glory Play 6A is still the front face of glory family style. Compared with the previous generation, the chamfer is more rounded, the screen size is controlled at 5.0 inches, and the overall grip is better. From left to right, the top is the opening of the light distance sensor, the receiver and the 5 megapixel front camera, which presents a symmetrical big white shape and is more orderly.

Glory Play 6A adopts screen virtual button design and supports function customization. This design not only takes care of the specifications of Google Life system, but also compresses the space at the bottom of the phone and ensures the screen ratio. The bottom is still a symbol of honor and a typical design in honor.

On the back of the fuselage, Glory Play 6A adopts a three-stage design, and the middle part is a metal back shell, which is made of metal plate through stamping, polishing, anodizing, sandblasting, CNC and other processes. The main body is made of polycarbonate, and the imitation metal spraying process is adopted to alleviate the sense of separation between the two materials. In order to ensure the feel, Glory Play 6A adopts a curved surface design, and the smooth curve extends from the edge to the back, giving people a slimmer impression and a more comfortable grip.

Symmetry is the main element in the design of Glory Play 6A. 13 megapixel sensor in the center, equipped with a flash, with a circular opening for fingerprint recognition below. This fingerprint identification can not only unlock the screen, but also expand more applications, such as shutter when taking selfies, sliding switch when browsing pictures and so on.

The volume and power buttons of Glory Play 6A are located on the left side of the fuselage, and different textures are added to the buttons, which is convenient for users to operate blindly. The whole machine does not use 2.5D glass, so the thickness of the machine body can also be controlled at 8.2mm In addition, it has a built-in 3020mAh battery, which is light in weight and excellent in one-handed grip. Glory 6A also supports TF card expansion using and or card slots.

At the bottom of the fuselage, Glory Play 6A adopts a symmetrical design, with speakers and microphones arranged left and right, and a micro USB interface in the center, which is very orderly. There is only one 3.5mm headphone jack at the top. In addition, in order to meet the personalized needs of users, Glory Play 6A provides four colors: gold, silver, rose gold and blue.

On the whole, the glory 6A is better than the small size and radian polishing, which makes it have a good grip at a limited cost, and the symmetrical design throughout makes the glory 6A a little more exquisite at this price.

System experience:

Glory Play 6A adopts EMUI 5. 1, based on Android 7.0. I got the version of 3GB RAM, and there is still 2.4G memory left after booting, which is very suitable for simple daily applications. As for the system interface, the EMUI 5. 1 adopted by Glory Play 6A also changed before the appearance crossed, and brighter colors were used, making the overall design more concise and natural. The system icon has also been redrawn to some extent, and more bright blocks have been selected for filling. Although it is a thousand yuan machine, it seems to have a certain sense of youth and fashion.

In addition to the improvement of the interface, the biggest highlight of EMUI 5. 1 is the introduction of artificial intelligence technology, which optimizes the rationality of resource scheduling in Android system and allows users to get timely response and smooth experience for a long time. Specifically, it is mainly embodied in four corresponding measures: intelligent perceptual learning, intelligent behavior prediction, intelligent resource scheduling, and optimization of core components of Android system. These four measures work together, deeply combine processors, rationally allocate eight nuclear resources, bind common applications to CPU, and fix some resources to common software, so that users can use them more smoothly. In addition, the artificial intelligence algorithm carried by EMUI enables the mobile phone system to better understand the user's behavior habits, and predict the user's behavior on this basis, so as to schedule the system resources such as CPU, GPU and storage in advance, make the resource allocation more timely and reasonable, and achieve the effect of saving electricity and smoothing.

The intelligence of EMUI is also reflected in the "negative screen", where functions such as intelligent recommendation, situational smart card, global search, and scanning are gathered. In my opinion, this screen is more like a smart housekeeper, which will present different information according to the situation. For example, if he has a business trip recently, he will automatically match the traffic and schedule information according to the short message and present it in the form of a card. Even trivial matters such as credit cards and insufficient traffic will be picked out by the system and sorted out in a concise and clear way, which will make things very organized and improve efficiency at once.

Today, mobile phone security has been paid more and more attention. EMUI 5. 1 integrates various measures, including payment protection center, providing relatively isolated payment software space, providing genuine payment software download, and taking certain security measures in authority and network to make the payment environment more secure. Based on the hardware advantages, Glory Play 6A also supports pseudo base station protection, cutting off the connection between the terminal and the pseudo base station from the bottom of the chip, and bidding farewell to the harassment of fraudulent short messages.

In addition, the functions randomly installed in EMUI 5. 1, such as glory reading and Huawei life service, are quite practical. Built-in mobile phone recharge, group purchase, air tickets, movies and other functions that are needed for entertainment and life for a long time, one-click ticket purchase is more convenient, which is not too big for its own system capacity. This setting will undoubtedly increase the experience of lightweight use of mobile phones.

Photo experience:

▲ Play the 6A camera interface.

When it comes to all parts of a mobile phone, some people care about the appearance, others care about the performance, and everyone has different emphases, but I believe most users will care about the function of taking pictures. After all, the advantages of mobile phones in portability have far exceeded those of cameras with long guns and short guns, and even a thousand-yuan mobile phone should have the function of recording life. Therefore, in this part of the article, let's take a look at the photo level of Glory Play 6A.

Glory Play 6A uses13 megapixel Sony IMX278 sensor, which has been seen on Huawei P8. The biggest feature of this sensor is the RGBW photosensitive strategy. As we all know, the visible light of human eyes can be combined by different arrangements of RGB (red, green and blue). RGBW, on the other hand, adds a white sub-pixel to each photosensitive pixel on the basis of the three primary colors of red, green and blue. Compared with ordinary photosensitive elements, IMX278 with13 million pixels has13 million white sub-pixels in hardware, which gives the human eye the most direct feeling that the brightness of the picture is improved. In terms of functions, Glory Play 6A supports PDAF focusing technology and professional, slow-motion and skin-beautifying modes. No matter from the hardware or function, it is a good choice to play 6A with this gear or song. How is the actual performance? Let's take a look at the proofs.

Through this set of daytime proofs, we can see that thanks to the RGBW four-pixel design, Glory Play 6A really performs well in the brightness of the shot picture. As the saying goes, one white covers a hundred ugliness. Frankly speaking, it is unrealistic to pursue the so-called "image quality and training" in this price range, but it is also a good practice to let users have a bright feeling when taking pictures by improving the brightness of the picture.

Through this set of indoor proofs, we can see that Glory Play 6A has a relatively accurate grasp of white balance, which belongs to a relatively simple "what you see is what you get" and the picture transparency is somewhat poor. On the other hand, in macro performance, glory playing for 6 years seems a bit more than enough, the background blur is not obvious enough, and the subject is not three-dimensional.

Night proofs, glory play 6A Although the picture quality is average, there are obvious smear marks, but fortunately the brightness is not bad. The so-called different evaluation criteria have good results. I think for such products, the first is to shoot at night, and the second is to shoot well. Products at this price can be sliced successfully at night, which has already performed well.

Hardware part:

Glory Play 6A adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 platform, upgraded to eight nuclear, adopts Cortex-A53 architecture, the highest frequency is 1.4GHz, and is manufactured by 28nm LP process. GPU is Adreno 505, which supports full netcom. In Ann Bunny's running score, glory has reached 43,676 in six years, which is basically the same as the well-known MediaTek P 10. And in the stress test of Ann Bunny 15 minutes, the CPU performance has been kept above 80%, and the overall load is good.

In addition, the fluency of the system does not depend entirely on the hardware configuration of the mobile phone, but also on the file system. It is worth mentioning that Glory Play 6A uses F2FS file management system, which is commonly used by flagship mobile phones such as Mate9 and Samsung S7. Active defragmentation and IO storage optimization technology can effectively reduce system fragmentation and improve file access fluency by 20%.

Summary:

For the current mobile phone market, the overall price increase and consumption upgrade in the low-end market is an inevitable trend. Nowadays, there are only a few old brands left in the thousand yuan machine market: Glory/Xiaomi/Meizu. As the leading Internet brand at present, Glory Play Series has made its own characteristics in the thousand yuan machine market with its proud "glory quality". For the audience with clear user portraits, positioning is indeed more accurate.

Glory Play 6A, as an entry-level thousand yuan machine for young people, has a good comprehensive experience. Although the appearance may not be bright enough and the performance is not particularly strong, the products in this price range must be "what you have to give" and it is impossible to cover everything. Glory starts with the most basic functions of mobile phones, such as communication, battery life, etc., and carries out targeted optimization and promotion for the target users of market segmentation, making Glory Play 6A have obvious characteristics and certain competitiveness at this price.
