When the major players are scrambling among the three intelligent systems of SYMBIAN, WIN CE and LINUX, and are crazy about their ease of use, universality and openness, don't forget that there is an old operating system-Palm, which has the longest development history among all systems and many application software, although it has lost a lot of market share under the oppression of the three systems. But based on the huge user base, it may make a comeback at any time.

Quan Zhi has always been famous for its computer dictionaries and PDA products, and the famous "quick translation" came from Quan Zhi. As for mobile phones, G 18 and G88 have been recognized by users of the PALM system. M28 in this evaluation is another masterpiece after G88. With its powerful hardware configuration and practical functions, M28 has the strength to compete with other smart phones.

Xplore M28 adopts the popular sub-silver tone, and the design of the whole machine is quite satisfactory, with the square concept as the main concept, calm and generous. The volume is 106×50.8×23.5mm, and the weight of 132 g is just right. It is a small home for smart phones. The panel is a 176×220 pixel touch screen with an area of 2.2 inches.

The buttons at the bottom of the screen are designed to be oval. Instead of the joystick of G88, they returned to the button mode. Except for the middle navigation key, other function keys are relatively small, especially the left and right soft keys need a lot of effort to press. The stylus is hidden in the lower right corner of the mobile phone and adopts a three-stage design to effectively match the body volume.

M28 adopts the very popular slider design, but the slider is tight, and the lower part of the mobile phone gradually narrows, and there is no suitable focus, so the slider feels ordinary. Pushing open the upper cover, the neat number keys will be revealed, which is quite scientific and technological with the dazzling blue backlight. The buttons feel good and elastic, but the area of the buttons is a little too small.

The mobile phone is surrounded by exquisite bright silver edges, and the strip-shaped side keys feel quite good because of their suitable positions. In addition, there are infrared and SD/MMC interfaces on the left side of the fuselage, but unfortunately there is no soft rubber cover, which makes people worry about dust. The earphone interface on the right side of the mobile phone has a plug, which is much more protective, and there is a data/charging socket at the bottom.

The switch and status light of the mobile phone are located at the top, and it can be seen that the M28 has a rope hole, which shows that Quan Zhi is full of confidence in the size and weight of the M28, and even if it is hung around his neck, it will not feel burdensome. The "PALM POWERED”logo on the back of the mobile phone is quite eye-catching. There are speakers, selfie sticks and cameras arranged below, and the battery buckle is cleverly hidden in the middle, which has no effect on the appearance.

The battery is well connected to the fuselage without any looseness. XXXMAH battery provides M28 with 150 ~ 200 hours standby time, which can last for about 2 days in actual use. Compared with its predecessor G88, M28' s biggest surprise is the addition of SD/MMC slot, and the camera has been upgraded from 6.5438+10,000 pixels to 300,000 pixels, which makes M28 practical.

M28' s 260,000-color TFT touch screen is a very high-end configuration in the industry, with a resolution of 176×220 pixels and a display area of 2.2 inches. The screen performance of M28 is quite delicate, and the color transition is natural, but the brightness and contrast need to be improved. Can't show the gorgeous colors of 260 thousand.

You can choose "GSM+PDA" or "PDA" mode when starting up, which is equivalent to flight mode. Although the screen resolution is not low, the font of M28 is too small, which makes it awkward to browse. For complex fonts, M28 is even more difficult, which is a special phenomenon of PALM system.

Menus, like the structure of LINUX, can be divided into several categories and can be displayed. With the control of stylus and function keys, it is very convenient to use. The toolbar at the bottom can be hidden, leaving the maximum display space for the main menu. The operation is exactly the same as the ordinary palm, and "Fat Friends" can get started quickly. When the slider is opened, M28 will automatically switch to the dialing interface, which is convenient for users to dial.

M28 is equipped with a separate speaker, which is placed on the back of the phone. Therefore, the ringing effect of 40 chord is quite good, there is no obvious staccato, and the volume is enough. The built-in ringtone is very rich and can be used for incoming calls, text messages and various events. Of course, we suggest installing third-party software to realize ringtone formats such as WAV, MP3 and OGG, such as Pocket Tunes and LIGHTWAV.

Shooting:

M28 with 300,000-pixel CMOS camera, the shooting function is quite comprehensive. Press the right soft key to enter the shooting interface, which is quite fast and convenient, and can be set to no preview mode. The viewing interface is simple and easy to use, with a viewing frame at the top and a setting bar at the bottom, and various parameters can be set at a glance. M28 also supports unlimited shooting of short films, which are stored in MMC card. The format is Volkswagen 3GP, but the fluency is average.

M28' s phone book project is very complete, with personalized ringing tones and pictures, as well as thoughtful anniversary reminders. Powerful enough to support the fuzzy search of pinyin initials, quite convenient, and support multiple groups, you can add them yourself. What more can we ask for such a perfect phone book function?

M28, which adopts Hanwang input system, supports full-screen handwriting, does not waste screen space at all, writes fluently and has a high recognition rate. In addition, the handwriting input settings are also very rich, and the stroke color, width, response time and segmented input can be set by themselves, showing a mature system style.

Support for MMS is of course essential, and it supports sending ringtones, pictures, animations, videos and other files without any restrictions. Moreover, M28 can also set a variety of MMS settings, such as multi-page MMS, playing time, password, hiding, locking and so on, which can be described as very complete.

PALM is an operating system developed by PALMSource Company, which is usually used for PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Once upon a time, palm was synonymous with PDA, and it was palm that developed PDA and showed its great influence. After all the development, PALM has gradually become tired, which can be said to be difficult progress, with stagnant software functions and slow development of hardware configuration.

SONY, the industry giant, announced its withdrawal from CLIE PDA market outside Japan on June 1 this year, which seems to indicate something. Only Hewlett-Packard, a PDA tycoon, is fighting alone in PALM, and the PPC camp is approaching step by step with its powerful functions and excellent hardware configuration. PalmSource is stepping up the development of a new operating system to compete with PPC, and it is still difficult to decide who will win.

In the historical background of PDA, the function of palm is actually very rich. Aside from a large number of third-party software, the built-in functions are enough to set off the identity of smart phones. Calendar, to-do list. Memos, universal time, calculators and other functions are all available, so it is no wonder that many "fat friends" are reluctant to part with the PALM system.

M28 supports unlimited recording, provided that MMC card is large enough to be a good helper for business people. Supports multiple sets of alarm clocks, and the alarm clock cycle mode is only daily and weekly. If you want to realize the working day alarm clock, you need to set up multiple sets.

Quan Zhi, which is famous for its "quick translation" series of products at home and abroad, has certainly not forgotten to add the English-Chinese dictionary function to M28. He has a very rich vocabulary, supports English-Chinese and Chinese-English translation, can add new words by himself, and has a built-in "review" function, which can record unfamiliar words for easy review at any time. It's really sweet.

The built-in sketchpad function can be compared with the "drawing" function of American WINDOWS, and you can freely control the background, handwriting, color and scale of the picture. What's more, M28 has a rich set of stamps, large and small, which is most suitable for editing photos.

M28 can store the important information in the mobile phone in MMC card, so that it can be restored immediately when needed, which is full of humanity. Support the playback of 3GP, MP3 and other media files, and the built-in MP3 player has ordinary functions. It seems that a more powerful player is needed to achieve professional media playback.

The available memory for users is about 16M. M28 has SD/MMC slot, but we find that it supports MMC very well, but it has a card picking phenomenon for SD. It is recommended to use MMC card to prevent important data from being lost. The built-in file manager can manage the files of the body memory and MMC card, and it is also quite convenient to use.

It is worth mentioning that M28' s response speed is quite fast, especially when viewing photo albums, the thumbnail display speed is very fast, which brings a pleasant sense of operation. The infrared data association on the side of the fuselage is responsible for all wireless data transmission, but it is a pity that there is no built-in Bluetooth function.

Game:

With PALM's wonderful game, we can completely ignore JAVA. Even the built-in games are equally excellent, especially Book Warming, which uses interesting and exciting games to integrate word memory and string English words with English letters displayed on the screen. The longer the word, the higher the score, and both entertainment and learning are correct.

GTS is a racing game. The 3D interface and smooth running speed show the essence of the car incisively and vividly, and the realistic sound effects are also exciting. "whoosh! 20 16 "is a vertical shooting game, which is equally excellent in playability, and don't forget that PALM also has a wealth of third-party game software, which is enough to make M28 fly.

Quan Zhi Xplore M28 has achieved powerful functions in a small size. The new PALM OS5.4 brings a new feeling. The most commendable thing is that the SD/MMC slot is added on the basis of the previous G88, and the speed of the mobile phone is improved through the ARM 9 OMAP processor, which can be said to be a brand-new palm mobile phone.
