Just the right young product: Samsung Galaxy C7 experience

IT 168 Evaluation Since the sales volume of Samsung Galaxy S7 instantly exceeded10 million, it seems that Samsung, which has adjusted its strategy, has become more and more confident in the China market. Although Samsung's current product line is quite rich, in addition to the flagship Galaxy S and Note series, there are also mid-range models for different market groups such as Galaxy A series and J series. However, Samsung seems ready to launch a new series of models to further segment the market, that is, the Samsung Galaxy C series products released today, focusing on the young market.

The brand-new Samsung Galaxy C series products will be positioned in the fierce competition of 2000-3000 yuan, which is also the price segment that ordinary consumers are most concerned about. In the past, the mobile phone market of 2,000 yuan has been occupied by domestic mobile phones such as Xiaomi, Meizu and Huawei. Samsung smartphones also have the Samsung Galaxy A series in this price segment, but the A series has been fighting alone. The Samsung Galaxy C series released today is a product that continues to make up for the vacancy in this price segment. It is a product after a lot of data research in China market.

The Samsung Galaxy C series is also in this price range, and it is available online and offline at the same time. It has the finest metal shell in the industry with 0.45 micron sandblasting particles, 4GB of running memory, "one finger and two seconds to pay", UHQA ultra-high quality music playback and Samsung mobile phone quality assurance. It seems to belong to the current mainstream high-end level. In addition, according to the China market, optimize the red envelope assistant, completely eliminate the pseudo base station, the yellow pages of the phone book and so on. So, it looks just right. Can China users pay for Samsung?

As an international brand mobile phone focusing on the young market, Samsung is still very sincere, and the overall hardware configuration belongs to the current mainstream level. Samsung Galaxy C5 is a 5.2-inch touch screen, and Samsung Galaxy C7 is equipped with a 5.7-inch touch screen, both of which support 1080p resolution and Super AMOLED panel. It has a storage combination of 4GB RAM+32GB/64GB ROM, an 8-megapixel front lens, a16-megapixel main camera, and a large aperture of F 1.9. The camera function has its own watermark effect. As for the bright spot, Samsung Galaxy C series supports the "one-finger payment" function (Samsung Pay in NFC mode is supported, and MST magnetic radiation simulation card swiping is not supported). The combination of UnionPay and Alipay is also a very competitive product at the price of 2000 yuan. Let's take Samsung Galaxy C7 as an example.

Samsung Galaxy C7 still uses the Samsung family-style design language, and the all-metal body seems to be shouting "I am young" all the time. Indeed, all-metal body +2.5D curved screen, these are relatively advanced design languages at present. It must be mentioned that the edge transition between Samsung Galaxy C7 metal and glass is handled very well, and there will be no hand scratching when touching by hand. In fact, this also continues the design language of Samsung Galaxy S7. Samsung has been pursuing the transition between different materials, and the final effect is to blend different materials together.

In addition, the Samsung Galaxy C7 has also made great progress in the details of the fuselage. Every mobile phone is like a designer's model, and it needs to have a good figure while keeping the skin shiny. Samsung Galaxy C7 uses 0.45um sandblasting coating on the fuselage surface, which is the most delicate metal coating level at present. The natural advantage is that the metal can reach the best comfort value in contact with the skin. In addition, in order to achieve the ultimate grip. Samsung Galaxy C7 adopts radian+section design at the edge, which is more natural than the radian of iPhone6s and more in line with the palm.

In the 2000 yuan mobile phone market, fingerprint identification is not uncommon. This time, Samsung Galaxy C7 continues the family-style frontal fingerprint recognition, which is very helpful for the logic of frontal unlocking and payment, because we usually put the mobile phone in front of us when unlocking and paying, and then unlock or pay with our thumb.

Samsung Galaxy C7 fuselage design maintains Samsung's consistent exquisite level in overall style, which is also difficult for other domestic mobile phones of the same price segment. Samsung Galaxy C7 has four colors: gray, gold, pink and silver, in which gray is a black panel, gold is the same color panel, and pink is a white panel. The overall matching effect also reflects Samsung's meticulous style.

No one is perfect, and so is the mobile phone. The back of the fuselage is a rare three-stage shape of the Samsung family, and the camera is also a little convex, next to which is a dual color temperature LED flash. The lens is slightly convex, which is definitely something that most users are dissatisfied with. Can't mobile phone taps like Apple and Samsung flatten the lens of the mobile phone? The answer is definitely yes. As for why they insist on protruding, there must be their reasons.

The two most important elements of smartphone photography are photo quality and focusing speed. If the focus speed of the mobile phone is too slow, it is likely that many wonderful moments will be missed, or the shooting will be empty at all. Of course, on the basis of satisfying the fast focusing speed, there must be good photo quality. In recent years, smartphones have become thinner and thinner (the thickness of Samsung Galaxy C7 is 6.8mm). In order to cater to the aesthetic trend of mass users, Samsung has to sacrifice the flatness of the back of the fuselage, and its convex lens is more to ensure the focusing speed of the camera. You can't have your cake and eat it. In the end, it depends on how you choose.

The latest Type-C data interface is not used at the bottom of the fuselage. There are two considerations here. First of all, let's review that Samsung only changed a Nano SIM card when Samsung Galaxy S4, while Samsung Galaxy S5 still maintained the design of replaceable battery. In fact, Samsung is not conservative or can't keep up with the mainstream. These big manufacturers will adhere to the principle of meeting the needs of mainstream users when designing. After all, Type-C is too small. Presumably, many users of Type-C data interface have experienced the embarrassing scene of borrowing wires to charge everywhere, so it is not the time to popularize Type-C.

Careful friends will also find a problem. Samsung Galaxy C7 adopts plastic injection molding technology at the bottom of the fuselage data interface and the edge of the 3.5mm earphone, which can enhance the service life of the interface edge in daily use and greatly improve the overall texture of the fuselage. This perfectly explains the style of Samsung's big factory.

On the system side, Samsung Galaxy C7 adopts the TouchWiz operating system based on Android 6.0. 1, and both the screen lock interface and the main interface have been redesigned. Entering the desktop, I found that the UI color scheme is close to AMOLED tonality, which is very rich, and the highlighted icons are highly recognizable. This is also an icon that Samsung redraws according to users' preferences. For completeness, future third-party icons have also been slightly debugged.

In fact, for the Samsung Galaxy C7, "one-finger-second payment" is the real highlight, which is also a prominent selling point in the price range of 2000-3000 yuan. Samsung Pay has been welcomed and praised by users since its launch. At present, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge/S7, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy A9 (high-end version), Galaxy A9( 20 16), Galaxy A7( 20 16), Galaxy A5( 20 16) and so on are supported. In order to bring a better mobile payment experience to more users, this time, Samsung Pay has expanded the types of supported models, bringing a more portable and smarter consumer experience to Galaxy C series mobile phones. Although Galaxy C series does not support MST (Secure Transmission of Magnetic Signals) payment, it can still enjoy the mobile payment experience of "swiping the card" or "scanning the code" through NFC (Near Field Communication) payment and Alipay code scanning payment. Users can conveniently pull out the bound bank card in three States: lock screen, black screen and home screen, and conduct transactions on the terminal POS machine supporting NFC; Or draw Alipay's payment QR code, complete the payment in the offline merchants who support Alipay scanning code, and fully enjoy the convenience of "one finger and one second payment". Samsung Pay has high security level restrictions on the system, so users will not be able to use Samsung Pay after they Root their mobile phones, which is also to protect the security of user accounts.

Most banks of UnionPay have cooperation with Samsung. The first banks to provide services include: China Industrial and Commercial Bank (credit card), China Bank (credit card and debit card), China Construction Bank (credit card and debit card), China CITIC Bank (credit card), China Everbright Bank (credit card), Huaxia Bank (credit card), China Minsheng Bank (credit card), China Merchants Bank (debit card) and China Guangfa Bank (credit card).

Another big selling point of Samsung Galaxy C7 is Ultra High Quality Audio (UHQA), which is also the technology of high quality headphones released by Samsung GLAXY S6 EDGE+ last year. Today, Samsung popularized it to mobile phones with a price of 2000 yuan. It can provide an enhanced sound experience, which is comparable to the HiFi effect when playing music, so that the audience can enjoy high-definition music during the experience, and the immersion will be stronger than the ordinary effect. There is a saying in Infernal Affairs that "high notes are accurate and low notes are heavy".

In the setting interface, we can use any earphone to debug the soundtrack of U-quality. Simply put, it is to restore audio files that have been lossless compressed through software and hardware debugging. In terms of software, U-sound can be used to debug surround effect, professional tube power amplifier and concert hall effect. For personal optimization, you can also fine-tune the optimized sound, which is also the personal tailor of audio. At this point, Samsung has also grasped the characteristics that young users will listen to music more than 70% of the time when using mobile phones. Using ordinary headphones on mobile phones equipped with UHQA can also achieve the effect of thousands of headphones in the past.

In addition, this Samsung Galaxy C7 is also optimized for audio sources. Because it is a mobile phone developed for the China market, local optimization of Dragonfly FM, QQ Music, migu music, Singing Bar, Youku Video and Iqiyi Video has been added to the sound source. It is worth mentioning that UHQA not only supports local music, but also supports the online audio mentioned above.

Earlier, we also mentioned that Samsung Galaxy C7 is a product developed for young users in China, and it also adheres to the principle of streamlined and caring service. In terms of streamlining, we can see that the whole system hides functions that are not commonly used, such as uncommon software, system security and so on. In all these, they have been serving us silently. For example, to prevent the pseudo base station function, it used to prompt that "the information is dangerous, or it is sent by a pseudo base station". This time, Samsung adopted a bottom-level approach, completely cutting off the pseudo base station information, so it will not appear at all on the Samsung Galaxy C7. For example, in terms of the red envelope function that meets the feelings of Chinese people, the Samsung Galaxy C7 has also been specially optimized. When there is a red envelope, it will be prompted in the main interface and so on. In fact, we can't see these functions at ordinary times, but they are always around us, which is just right for the local optimization of Samsung Galaxy C7.

The Samsung Galaxy C7 is equipped with an 8 megapixel front lens and a16 megapixel main camera with a large aperture of F 1.9. Today, with the development of smart phones,160,000 pixels is enough to meet the needs of most users, but what young users are more pursuing is how to take a different photo and let me show it off on social platforms.

In addition, the Samsung Galaxy C7 is equipped with 50 kinds of self-contained watermarks, which allows us to create richer artistic photos and make them more design-oriented. At this point, Samsung once again grasped the shooting mentality of users after 90. Why is Meitu Xiu Xiu so popular? It must be because it provides a wealth of third-party filters and watermarks. Samsung Galaxy C7 built-in social camera has a more relaxed and lively overall style, and its taste is slightly higher than that of third-party software. In fact, beauty and ugliness are the contents of subjective evaluation, but the built-in camera is what makes users really taste the benefits.

Through the proofs, we can still see that the Samsung Galaxy C7 can meet the daily needs. For example, desktop headphones and watch proofs can control the brightness of the picture very high under strong light without overexposure. Pencil proofs can also control the light source well in dark light, highlight the details of the pencil and restore the dark light. In fact, the most interesting thing is the art watermark game. There are many interesting watermarks built into the machine, but at that time, due to the influence of the product experience environment, no interesting photos were produced. I'm still looking forward to this item after the formal test in the future.

Samsung Galaxy C7 is equipped with Snapdragon 625 processor, making it the first mobile phone equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor in the world. The main feature of Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor is that it adopts Samsung 14nm LPP process, and the GPU is upgraded to Adreno 506. Compared with last year's Xiaolong 652, the processor of Snapdragon 625 was upgraded from 28nm HPM to 14mn HPM, and the CPU architecture was also upgraded from quad-core A72+ quad-core A53 to eight nuclear A53. Therefore, processor performance, battery life and connectivity have been improved.

In this price segment, such as Samsung Galaxy A9/A9 high-end version, Alcatel OneTouch idol 4S, vivo Xplay5, HTC 10 lifestyle (Bank of China), OPPO R9 Plus, Xiaomi Max (high-end version), etc., the Snapdragon 652 processor is still used, so the Samsung Galaxy C7 is still relatively competitive in hardware configuration.

Samsung Galaxy C7 gives away game packages at random, including popular games such as Rise of Death, Soul of the Silver Age, City of Ashes, Viking Tomahawk, etc. In addition, Samsung also revealed that many games will be launched on this platform in the future, which is undoubtedly a boon for users who like to play games. In addition, this time Samsung introduced a gamepad, which can support customization through Micro USB connection. In fact, this gamepad is also just needed by young users. With the gamepad, the convenience of the game can be greatly improved.

Undoubtedly, as a smart phone specially tailored for young users in China, Samsung Galaxy C7 has seen a lot of sincerity. Samsung Galaxy C7 is a mobile phone that doesn't look amazing at first glance, but it has a complete set of experience and will be very comfortable to use, so I think it is just a good mobile phone.

Easy to use and beautiful, and finally consumers have to pay the bill. The mobile phone market in China is quite cruel, especially at the price of 2000 yuan, such as Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei and Nubia. It's all stunts Samsung Galaxy C7 is more like an indisputable child, doing what he should do in a down-to-earth manner, returning to his original heart, and starting from the user, which is what attracts us. Finally, to put it simply, if you buy a smart phone with a price of more than 2,000 yuan and have requirements on configuration, face value and even brand, Samsung Galaxy C7 is your first choice.
