July is my birthday. I was very happy to receive her big gift, Glory 8. Aunt is really too considerate.
One, out of the box and appearance
Once you see the red seal, you really want to die.
Four white landing boxes, surprisingly simple.
Can't wait to turn over to see the label. 4G+64G, Streaming Gold, Top Netcom. The wife sincerely praised: Aunt Zhang is generous!
Open the package. Really never seen such a mobile phone, think about it is quite reasonable, can effectively protect the mobile phone screen.
List: mobile phone, fast charger, Type-C data cable, card pin, three packs of certificate, manual.
The previously purchased Glory 6plus also comes with a service gold card, and Glory 8 has no physical card, but it will also include a one-year gold service.
The sticker on the back indicates the location of each component. The word is small, I added the mark.
Legendary beautiful back
Illuminated colors under some light
Round and beautiful chin
Clever hidden warning light
The fuselage uses double-sided 2.5D glass, which feels warm and is held in the palm of your hand, just like touching a beautiful jade.
Fortunately for the summer, to the cold winter, it is estimated that the chance of falling from the hands of a lot, or with a soft transparent shell more practical. If you plan to run naked, it is recommended to keep a glasses cloth with you.
Top with flagship, magnificent back and border, coupled with this golden default theme, full of Emperor Fan children. Are there any dangers in saying that you carry the goods out of steam? ? ?
The traditional big black side is gone. The 5.2-inch screen is just right. With an ultra-narrow frame, the size is very suitable for men to master and it is convenient to carry around. For women, anyway, 5.2 inches can't be controlled by one hand. Anyway, when you go out, your mobile phone will be put in the bag. It's not as good as the entire 5.5-inch or even bigger mobile phone in exchange for better visual effects and longer standby time. Do not say anything about the comfort of chasing a Korean drama.
Second, configure the experience
2.1 screen
Brightness and color temperature (in order of iPad, iPhone 4S, glory 8, glory 6plus, are the highest brightness and default color temperature)
Color saturation (in order of iPad, iPhone 4S, glory 8, glory 6plus, are the highest brightness and default color temperature)
In contrast, the default color temperature of the Glory 8 screen is cold, and if you are not accustomed to it, you can adjust the color temperature in the settings. If you read the book, you can use the eye protection mode.
2.2 Performance
Run a rabbit Lehey, it is said that experts use Geekbench to run points.
With CPU performance, the Unicorn 950 surpassed the Snapdragon 820, but the GPU dragged its legs. Has always been its own mobile phone positioning in the business, the pursuit of smooth and stable power, the first choice for gamers should still Xiaolong it.
I used Real Racing 3 for game performance testing. It felt very smooth and I basically couldn't detect frame skipping on my mobile phone. Can not find the mobile phone built-in screen recording function has a greater impact on performance, screen video can not really reflect the game's fluency. But since it was recorded, let's put it up for everyone to see. (You don't play games for years, don't laugh at your hands)
2.3 Battery and Life
Power saving is the consistent selling point of Glory Mobile. According to official statements, the battery life is 1.77 days for regular users and 1.22 days for heavy users. The actual feeling seems to be true. The new machine is naturally overweight to play, but also to take pictures to prepare for writing a review, a day can barely hold it down. According to this estimate, if used normally, charging at night can be assured enough.
According to Glory's policy, the mobile phone can only be applied to unlock the bootloader after two weeks of activation, so it cannot be root at the moment. After believing root to carry on some adjustments to the system, with ROG black technology, it is not completely impossible to use two days for one charge every day. Just don't know if root will affect HUAWEI Pay.
The original mobile phone was equipped with a 9V/2A fast charge. After testing, it was charged from 10% to 95% in 1 hour and 35 minutes, with a small number of calls and WeChat. The results are quite good.
The original fast filling head (by the way measuring glory 8 large aperture macro)
If you are looking for a longer standby time, black technology ROG mode may be able to help. In the extreme case, the super power saving mode can also be turned on to temporarily turn the flagship smart phone into an old man machine, achieving the ultimate goal of saving electricity.
“ROG Mode: Reduces the power consumption of mobile phones by reducing the screen resolution of mobile phones, thereby saving the power of mobile phones. The mobile phone screen is the largest among the power consumption of mobile phone hardware, reducing the display resolution can reduce the power consumption of the screen drive, while reducing CPU /GPU handles the amount of data on the display to reduce power consumption, thereby saving power.â€
Wait a minute, what is this 3900mAh ghost? What is a good 3000mAh battery? When I broke the word, I changed the battery and the basic trust between people was gone.
2.4 Baseband
The baseband of the Kirin 950 supports all Netcom 2G/3G/4G standards, supports dual-carrier aggregation LTE Cat.6, and has a maximum downlink speed of 300Mbps, which is comparable to that of MediaTek X25 and lags behind Xiaolong 820's three-carrier aggregation Cat.12 (maximum downlink speed). 600Mbps). For ordinary users, as long as support for 4G+ and VoLTE is sufficient, the traffic runs too fast and the wallet will be paralyzed.
Measured Beijing Mobile 4G+ downlink and uplink speeds.
Speaking of baseband, Kirin 950 has no built-in CDMA baseband (patent issues), so the entire Netcom version of the glory 8 is still a plug-in telecommunications 2G/3G baseband chip, but will increase standby power consumption, because I do not have a telecommunications card, can not test. It is recommended that telecommunications 2G/3G users start with glory 8 before making more informed decisions.
"Power-consumption door: Glory 7 uses the long-awaited 55-nanometer CDMA baseband chip through the plug-in system, causing the mobile phone to be in standby, the abnormal signal standby power consumption makes the battery life serious."
2.5 Multimedia transmission
For multimedia transmission, it has its own AirSharing private transmission protocol. Glory 8 system original does not provide support for DLNA protocol, and there is no HDMI and MHL interface.
If the TV box and the mobile phone are on the same LAN, the DLNA or similar function is enabled on the TV box, the mobile phone can open multi-screen interaction, and the mobile phone can find the TV box and click to connect. Open the phone's built-in gallery application to browse pictures and photos from your phone on your TV.
You can also play an online video on your TV via mobile phone. After the actual test, iQIYI has no problem. Even if you choose high-definition picture is very smooth, Youku has TV projection options but the connection is not successful. What's more strange is that your own video has no TV at all. Projection function.
2.6 sound quality
The title of this section originally intended to write HiFi, because the Kirin 950 has a built-in Tensilica Hi-Fi 4 independent audio DSP. After careful comparison and audition, I think that the sound quality of Glory 8 is also OK. It's not outstanding and it's not bad. That's it. When going out later, if the iPad is around, listening to music is still the iPad.
2.7 Camera
Although the glory 8 camera does not have V8 Leica certification, it is equipped with the same dual-lens module. It is estimated that the software algorithm is basically the same and provides many functions. Due to space limitations, only interesting words can be picked here.
Basic photo (full automatic mode)
The automatic mode is not much to say, the photo shows everything.
The following photos are taken in fully automatic mode, not later, only zoom.
Large aperture mode
Through the software algorithm to achieve a large aperture shallow depth of field effect, appeared on the glory 6plus above, but the algorithm is not mature enough, sometimes the phenomenon of the focus position is smeared. In Glory 8, it seems that improvement has been achieved. Object recognition is more accurate and the background blurring is more natural, but careful observation can still reveal flaws.
The following photo physical aperture f/2.2, the logic aperture achieved by the algorithm is f/0.95.
Photographs taken with the large aperture mode can be photographed and then focused, that is, the focus point is manually selected on the photographed photograph, and the software recalculates the depth of field and blurring effect to generate a new photograph with high playability.
The following figure is a photo taken before focusing.
Professional photo
Professional camera mode offers a lot of manual control options. The illustration above shows.
Streamer shutter
Equivalent to long exposure function, there are 4 modes available. However, Glory 8 has no optical image stabilization and it is difficult to maintain stability with long exposures. The following picture shows handheld shooting.
Watermark
Automatically tag photos with time, place, mood, etc., and provide dozens of watermark templates.
In use, it is found that if the camera is continuously turned on for longer (more than one minute), the back camera area will obviously feel the heat. Looking forward to future system updates can solve this problem.
2.8 Fingerprint + Touchpad + Zhiling
The fingerprint module on the back of the phone looks ordinary, but in fact it is very unusual. This humble thing is a genuine black technology .
Function 1. Fingerprint
The Fingerprint of Glory 8 is unlocked very quickly, it feels to be unlocked immediately, and it does not feel delay. It is said that it has a self-learning function and can be used more quickly.
"Quick Alipay Payment" is a function launched by Huawei and Alipay. In the black screen state, touch the fingerprint sensor with a pre-designated finger and immediately open the Alipay payment page to directly display the payment code. It's so convenient to experiment, and it's more fun to pick it up. Unfortunately, WeChat payment has not yet been supported.
Function 2. Touchpad
The fingerprint sensor is also a touchpad and can define a long press (here it is easy to misunderstand, it should be a long touch) function and a slide function. The sliding touch display notification panel is very practical. When the mobile phone is blanked out, a notification sound is heard. When the finger touches the fingerprint sensor, it unlocks immediately. Then the finger slides down again to see the specific content of the notification. Then, it slides upwards and closes the notification panel. Finger movements are very natural.
Function 3. Zhiling Key
Spirit Spirit function is provided from Glory 7, but it is a separate key on Glory 7, and by Glory 8, the fingerprint sensor can be pressed to realize the function of Spirit Spirit key. Zhi Ling key convenience too much.
In the settings, you can define the function that you want to activate by clicking, double-clicking, and long-pressing the Spiritual key, which is equivalent to adding a physical button with a customizable function to the mobile phone.
It can be said that the fingerprint button of Glory 8 is the most functional and most convenient one of all the mobile phones I have ever played. This is also the biggest surprise that glory 8 has brought me.
2.9 NFC and HUAWEI Pay
Glory 8 has built-in full-featured NFC. The so-called full-featured, refers to support for NFC-SIM, eSE, HCE three modes. For NFC is not very understanding, you can refer to an original article I wrote previously "written in Apple Pay after the fun: I talk about Android Pay Android pay that thing."
The 6plus of glory in hand is the test of HUAWEI Pay (Glory 6 has NFC but no eSE, but HUAWEI Pay is based on eSE). Everyone else pays for the wool, brush a bus, and does not play well. Also happy. Only HUAWEI Pay has not been promoted and it did not play any role in my hands. Of course, glory 6plus no fingerprint recognition is one of the internal reasons.
"HUAWEI Pay is similar to Apple Pay and is based on mobile phone near-field payment in mobile phone mode built-in security module eSE+NFC+TEE+fingerprint recognition. Currently, only Apple and Huawei are the only mobile phone brands to launch NFC-based mobile payment. Developed its own TEE system, and other brands, including Samsung, have adopted third-party solutions."
This year is the year for HUAWEI Pay. According to news publicity, in addition to officially signing a cooperation agreement with China UnionPay, Huawei Pay has now confirmed that it has entered into business cooperation with 15 banks including Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, China Construction Bank and China CITIC Bank. Beyond Samsung Samsung Pay, approaching Apple Pay. More importantly, Huawei Pay also supports bus and subway payment. This is a unique advantage that Apple Pay and Samsung Pay currently do not have.
However, HUAWEI Pay has not been officially commercialized so far. HUAWEI Pay on Glory 8 can only add CITIC Bank credit cards. Other bank cards do not support it, and bus and subway payment are even less visible. It is said that full functionality is being used in closed beta. It will be launched in the near future, and we look forward to Huawei's efforts to strengthen its efforts.
It is very convenient for CITIC credit cards to bind to wallets. It can be bundled in less than one minute and then it can be used offline.
It is even better if the card face of the virtual card can be consistent with the physical card.
Before using HUAWEI Pay, you need to set the NFC security chip as "built-in security chip" in the NFC settings. The default payment application is set to "Huawei Wallet".
When paying, the mobile phone does not need to be screened and unlocked, and the back of the mobile phone is directly close to the pos device that supports flash payment. The mobile phone will automatically display the credit card and “Please verify the fingerprint†screen. After verifying the fingerprint, move the mobile phone to the pos machine again. Credit card success.
Glory 8's fingerprint module is slightly inconvenient to use on the back of the camera. You can't use the same method as Apple Pay. The phone does not leave the pos machine and fingerprint authentication is performed at the same time. Instead, it takes two brushing actions to activate HUAWEI for the first time. Pay, the second time after verifying the fingerprint is the real payment. However, if you are familiar with it, you will not feel troubled.
Before HUAWEI Pay officially supported the brushing of public transit subways, using Beijing Mobile NFC-SIM card to put the public transit on Glory 8 is still no problem. Mobile and package can also be fully used, although Glory 8 is not supported by mobile and package. List inside. Of course, using HCE cloud flash to pay for wool is even more difficult.
Third, EMUI 4.1
Huawei's EMUI is relatively mature in various domestic UIs. It pursues stability and power saving. Its design is relatively flat and not surprising. However, there are many considerations in detail. For example, scene intelligence, extinguishing screen call/snapshot, and so on, will be used to integrate into daily use habits, until you can use other mobile phones to experience, these are the exclusive benefits of Huawei users.
Glory 8 "Glory" theme and pre-installed applications
EMUI from 3.x to 4.0, whether it is the aesthetic appearance of the UI or the fluency of the system, is a qualitative leap. The 4.0 to 4.1 can only be regarded as a small update. It seems to me that everything is so familiar. It does not take time to adapt. What makes me feel new is the new multi-user feature.
Multiple users can be created on EMUI 4.1. The data space of different users is completely isolated and cannot be accessed. Various settings are also independent of each other. Even if two users want to use the same application, they need to install one copy for each user. Switching from one user to another, the feeling is to change another mobile phone of the same model.
The use of multi-user functions can achieve two-channel micro-channel. In the test, when two users have installed WeChat, two micro signals will be online at the same time. The background user's WeChat message can receive the same message notification. At this time, the front-end user can only hear the message notification sound in the notification bar. No prompt will appear.
This has a small problem. When the mobile phone is on standby, sometimes it hears a message notification. After the screen is light, no indication is found in the notification bar. Then the user can switch to the background to see the notification content. It is perfect if the number of unread notifications of the user can be displayed next to each user's head in the standby screen.
In addition to adding ordinary users, you can also add visitors. The owner, common user, and guest have different permissions.
Owner : You can perform all operations, add or delete other users, authorize other users to use the call and SMS functions.
Ordinary users : Most functions can be used, but they cannot be used to affect the functions of the owner, such as restoring the factory settings, avoiding interruptions, and so on.
Visitors : Only some operations can be performed, and messages, unknown applications, etc. cannot be used.
I think that even if a cell phone is used by only one person, using multi-user functions to isolate sensitive data from other programs should also be a good solution.
Some off topic: As a Huawei mobile phone user for many years, I would like to take this opportunity to make some suggestions, not for the glory 8, but for the EMUI. Hope that the manufacturers can see.
Application drawer
Not only EMUI, almost all custom UIs in the country, basically all use the icon on the desktop to cancel the single-level interface of the application drawer, and may think that this is more like iOS.
However, the problem is that iOS does not have the concept of shortcuts and widgets in Android. The desktop icon is an application. Deleting a desktop icon is an application uninstallation. The logic is very clear.
Android is not the same, the application icons, shortcuts, widgets are all placed on the desktop, the average user can not distinguish, and uninstall the application and delete the desktop shortcut or widget using the same operation (drag icons into the trash), this Frequently confused by small white users. More than one person asked me why some of the icons on the desktop could be deleted and added back.
Moreover, for heavy mobile phone users who install 150+ programs at a time, the single-level interface without drawers is not only difficult to manage, but also has extremely low usage efficiency. It is for this reason that I always have to install a third-party launcher to get a new mobile phone.
As an international company, can we add back the application drawer of the native system in the future version of EMUI? Or can you, like Samsung, give users a choice to use a secondary interface?
2. Background switching
Android developed to the 6.0 era, the background hibernation mechanism has been perfect, and the user manually cleans up the background also becomes meaningless. However, the EMUI 4.x multitasking switching page can only display one full frame and two half frames. If the user does not frequently clean the background manually, there are many background programs, and it is often difficult to find the program that you want to switch by swiping the finger many times, which affects the use efficiency.
Why are you unwilling to adopt a native style multitasking interface? People Meizu and Lenovo have long been in use, and they are highly praised.
Fourth, summary
Glory 8 as one of the glorious dual flagships, caught up with the pace of the times, Kirin 950, 4G + 64G, Full Netcom, Type-C, VoLTE, all-round NFC, multi-function fingerprint, laser focusing dual camera, all have With a comprehensive and balanced configuration, coupled with superior appearance and feel, Glory 8 is a very suitable choice for most ordinary users.
Compared with the other competitors, Glory 8 provided HUAWEI Pay, infrared remote control, touchpad, smart keyboard, multi-user, LINK+ communication enhancement, and pseudo base station identification to enhance security or user experience. The function will greatly benefit the user's stickiness.
Glory 8's technological content is more reflected in the overall convenience and safety, rather than in one aspect to an extreme level. If you are an audiophile or a big game player, glory 8 is probably not your dish.
Hope to see more improvements in EMUI 5.0 (based on Android N), and more hope that HUAWEI Pay will be officially commercial as soon as possible.
I am very grateful to Aunt Zhang for giving me the golden opportunity for glory. If you feel that this article has some reference value for you, please express your heartfelt praise to Auntie.
