Nut 3 evaluation: It is probably the most respectable thousand yuan machine in the Eastern Hemisphere.

IT 168 Evaluation In the last two years, Lao Luo finally got a loyal wife. Although the journey was not smooth, fortunately, the optimistic fat man persisted. After M 1 series and Nut Pro series, Lao Luo seems to have slowly found a way to "live in peace" with the public. Although everyone already knows that Hammer Technology 5. 15 will have a big meal in the Bird's Nest, surprisingly, Lao Luo also prepared the first dish for everyone before the main course: Nut 3. Of course, every time the hammer's mobile phone will cause some discussion or controversy, this time is no exception.

The price of nut 3 is 1299 yuan, the so-called "thousand yuan machine". For the thousand yuan machine, it is actually simple, and the "cost performance" is over. As an electronic industrial product that sells billions a year, mobile phones have always been "one price for one point". Especially for products with a price of 1000 yuan, it is necessary to carefully grasp the cost. The so-called "cost performance" is also a different choice for different brands after "learning from each other's strengths". Mr. Luo, who has always been shrewd in marketing, unexpectedly did not choose this most understandable selling point on Nut 3. On the poster on the front page of Hammer official website Nut 3, the slogan "Too Beautiful Not Powerful" continues.

Probably the most respectable machine in the eastern hemisphere-the thousand yuan machine.

Full screen is not new, even in the thousand yuan machine, it is relatively popular. However, the nut 3 comes out and is similar to Xiaomi MIX, with no borders on three sides. Compared with a group of 18: 9 full screen hairtail, Nut 3 looks purer. After reading the spy photos of Nut 3, the ID photos and renderings of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, when I got the real machine to light up the screen, I couldn't help but flash the idea that "this is actually just a thousand yuan machine".

The most controversial part of the nut 3 machine: the chin of the machine. When I first saw the renderings, I actually thought the design was quite strange. But when I got the real machine, I felt less uncomfortable. First, the texture brought by the real machine in color and material is incomparable to a rendering. Second, the nut 3 and the thin line at the bottom of the screen just balance the visual center of gravity of the fingerprint module in the whole chin center of the fuselage. Lao Luo is still the same old Luo. Maybe he won't be as stubborn as he was at the beginning, but in any case, he will try his best to impress you in design.

Right is right, and left is right. No details, it can be too detailed.

Nut 3 adopts the structure of front and rear glass+metal middle frame as a whole. For light gold, the white body with the matte frame of metal primary color is really not greasy at all. Think about many thousand yuan machines that are still on sale, all of which use three-stage metal bodies a few years ago. What is ugliness and what is beauty?

The CNC at the frame joint produces a very narrow inclined plane, which improves the grip a lot and won't feel the hand down. However, limited by the cost, it is a pity that Nut 3 gives up 2.5D glass.

At the top of the fuselage, like Xiaomi MIX2, a micro-slit receiver is placed at the bottom of the screen, and the sound is transmitted to the sound hole at the top of the screen through the sound guide tube to complete the transmission of the call sound. For the thousand yuan machine, it can be seen that it is a real cost.

The back is roughly the same as that of nut Pro2, and there is nothing extra, so it is clean and tidy. In addition, the machine thickness of Nut 3 is 7. 16mm, so it is difficult to fit into a large battery of 4000mAh. You really can't ask for more for a thousand yuan machine.

In fact, in today's so-called "consumption upgrade", it is difficult for a thousand yuan machine to cause much discussion. On the one hand, a large part of its historical task has been completed, and everyone turns a blind eye. On the other hand, the thousand yuan machine is very mature. In this price segment, limited by cost control, manufacturers can only "learn from each other's strengths". Do a good job, reduce costs where users don't know, and then play a cost-effective card. In the industrial design that is not necessarily pleasing, the thousand yuan machine, which is cheap and needs to be measured, is naturally in the back position when defining the product. Nut 3 can attract everyone's attention in industrial design, which itself can explain some problems.

Apart from its appearance, another controversial aspect of Nut 3 is that it uses Snapdragon 625. I believe everyone is already very familiar with Snapdragon 625, the "God of Generation U". From the mid-range machine two years ago to the thousand yuan machine or even the hundred yuan machine today, the performance and power consumption ratio are excellent. Needless to say, the chip itself. However, some people think that Snapdragon 625 is too old. If you use a hammer again, it will cost more than 1000 yuan.

So the author went to find several recently released products, which may be the direct competitors of Nut 3, and checked:

Charm Blue Note6: Snapdragon 625,4+32 GB, price1299;

Red rice 5 Plus: Snapdragon 625,4+64GB, price1299;

Red rice Note5: Snapdragon 636,4+64GB, price1399;

The above three models can be regarded as the so-called "cost-effective" thousand yuan machines recently released and recognized by everyone. Two of them use Snapdragon 625, and this price also uses 4GB RAM. Only Red Rice Note5 uses the latest Snapdragon 636, but in the 4G RAM version, you need to make an appointment to buy it in Xiaomi official website and the official flagship store in JD.COM. The other three models can be purchased directly and normally in official website. Among the three products, Charm Blue Note6 has a dual-camera camera unique to Thousand Yuan Machine, Red Rice 5 Plus looks like the highest hardware configuration, but its appearance is also the most mediocre, while Nut 3 has both the most decent design and the hardware configuration that does not lag behind Redmi and Charm Blue.

Therefore, it can be seen that some of these thousand yuan machines focus on taking pictures, some focus on hardware configuration, and some have both configuration and design, which can be regarded as their own strengths. However, it is not the truth to use the so-called "Snapdragon 625" to spray hammer to "clear inventory" and "lack sincerity". Not to mention that nuts are packed with 4000mAh batteries in the body size of 7. 16mm (Red Rice Note5/ Red Rice 5 Plus/ Charm Blue Note6 are also 4000mAh batteries with body sizes of 8.05mm, 8.05mm and 8.35mm respectively), which supports QC 3.0' s 18W fast charging.

Fast charging test:

▲ In the bright screen state.

▲ When the screen is turned off.

Hammer officially claims that Nut 3 supports QuickCharge 3.0 fast charging, and the maximum charging power can reach 18W. According to our actual test, when the screen is closed, Nut 3 can reach the surprising maximum value of 19.4W, while when the screen is open, it is controlled at about 9W (QC 2.0) in order to control the fuselage heating.

Durability test:

As we all know, the screen is a big power consumer in smart phones now. Fully charge nut 3 to 100%. In the Wifi environment, the play online Iqiyi movie (720P) lasted for two hours (moderate volume), and the remaining power was 85%, which was a good result.

During the author's heavy use in one day, from 10 in the morning to 10 in the evening, I swiped Weibo, sent WeChat, made some phone calls, watched the video by plane for two hours at noon, and finally the remaining power was 23%. The endurance performance of nut 3 is still relatively safe.

Photo experience:

Nut 3 adopts dual13 megapixel dual camera, black and white+color rear dual camera, F/2.2 aperture. Compared with some configurations of130,000+2 million (5 million), Lao Luoguan Nut 3 can be called "honest double shot". Moreover, Lao Luo also bought Rainbow Soft background blur, noise reduction algorithm and dual camera fusion algorithm. Let's take a look at the photo level of Nut 3 through the proofs.

In the case of enough brightness, Nut 3 plays well. The picture quality is ok, the whole photo is close to the real look and feel, and there are not many other color adjustments. There is no obvious deviation in white balance. Although I can't beat the "pervert" in a thousand yuan machine like Charm Blue Note6, it hasn't held me back.

▲ Before opening the large aperture.

▲ Large aperture proofs

In large aperture mode, the subject's scene matting is quite detailed and there are no obvious bugs. After all, I bought a rainbow soft algorithm, which cost nothing.

In the night scene mode, Nut 3 is somewhat willing but unable to do so. The brightness of the picture is normal, but the noise and glare control of the picture is not as good as during the day.

In addition, for the camera on the chin of Nut 3, Lao Luo once again showed his subtlety compared with other product managers: anyway, you usually use it, only when taking selfies. Then simply push it back, and when you turn the phone upside down, it will automatically turn on the selfie. We also experienced it for the first time when we got Nut 3. The speed is acceptable, which is really interesting. How can I put it? Do you think Mr. Luo is clever or doesn't matter at all? I just want to ask: Why didn't Xiaomi's product manager think of it at first?

Smartisan operating system 4.2:

On Nut 3, the system is upgraded to the latest version of Smartisan 4.2. 1. The editing mode of The Big Bang Theory, which was officially released when Nut Pro2 was released, supports the functions of phonetic change words and semantic substitution words, and supports the global search function in Flash Capsule and The Big Bang Theory.

Open the global flash capsule in the settings of flash capsule, and you can search the corresponding answers in different applications such as sogou, Weibo and Map after speaking.

So is The Big Bang Theory. After selecting the keywords of "The Big Bang Theory", click the "Magnifier" icon below to search the selected content online, or in sogou, WeChat and other applications.

In addition, in Smartisan OS 4.2, the elder mode is added, and settings that may need to be modified for elders are aggregated under the same menu. After logging into the remote assistance account of the elder, children can easily modify some setting options in the elder's mobile phone through their own mobile phones. Although it is not a new function, it is also a simple design, which can be more convenient for elders and children to use.

Although there are not many new changes in Smartisan OS 4.2, it effectively improves the efficiency of our usual use by making the previous functions more vertical. In fact, compared with computers, mobile phones are limited by screen size and interaction mode, and the communication efficiency between multiple tasks is very low. Smartisan OS has really improved the use efficiency of mobile phones through bit by bit innovation.

Summary:

It has been more than a week since the release of Nut 3, and the discussion about Nut 3 on the Internet has gradually subsided. In the face of these discussions, I suddenly remembered one thing: Nut 3 is not made by a hammer, but a thousand yuan machine released by other brands of Xiaomi/Huawei/Meizu. What will be the reaction? Maybe it's just because Lao Luo did it. Even if it is a thousand yuan machine, everyone requires it to be a boutique in the thousand yuan machine. In fact, for a product with an annual shipment of nearly 2 billion, especially an electronic product with a high replacement rate, its essence is fast-moving consumer goods, not works of art. In fact, starting from M 1 series and nut series, Lao Luo and his hammer technology have gradually become pragmatic and mature. It seems that sometimes, we are still looking at today's Luo Yonghao with the eyes of the past.

From the product point of view, Nut 3 may belong to the "atypical hammer mobile phone" in everyone's impression, but it is indeed a good thousand yuan machine. Even compared with the "cost-effective" thousand yuan machine, it is not downwind, but it is ruthlessly crushed in the most conservative design of other thousand yuan machines. As Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory tells us, when people are liberated from the control of physiological needs, more advanced needs may appear. When the thousand yuan machine has met the most basic hardware configuration level, another thousand yuan machine brought by Nut 3 can be used in a more decent way.
