Chapter 107 Little White Unboxing and Testing Again
Chapter 107 Little White Unboxing and Testing Again
He tapped the back panel, and there was a hollow echo.
"Empty? No, it's just that the battery is a bit thin, and there's a resonant cavity at the back."
As everyone knows, at the press conference, Mr. Yu said that there were only two months left, so this is essentially a redesign of the Mate series.
There are some minor issues, which is understandable!
The camera then switches to details on the back.
The camera has been changed to a single lens, and it's only the rear one, still only 300 megapixels.
"These specs sound like Nokia from three years ago, but do you know what other brands offer at this price point?"
Let's first take a look at the pride of domestic smartphones, the Meizu M8.
He took out another phone.
As the first domestically produced smartphone and the only choice in its price range, the Meizu M8's specifications are naturally displayed on the screen.
320 megapixels, no autofocus, no algorithm.
"Although the algorithm of the Honor Play1 is somewhat downgraded compared to the Mate series, it is still very easy to beat this Meizu phone."
Many viewers immediately skipped to the performance section after seeing this part.
After all, when it comes to image algorithms, other companies, including Apple, are operating without any technology; only Transsion and Huawei are working on this aspect.
Being far ahead is the right thing to do.
Regarding the core configuration, to put it simply: it hasn't been cut.
He placed the Honor Play1 and Mate1 side by side on the table and opened Taobao, Weibo, Plants vs. Zombies, and Fruit Ninja at the same time; they all ran smoothly.
If you cover the chin of the phone, it's even difficult to see the differences in details.
"The Mtk6573 can also be called the 6575. Both have a frequency of 845MHz..."
It has been confirmed that it is a processor.
However, the Play's storage starts at 4GB, which may cause a noticeable difference compared to the Mate over extended use. Fortunately, it supports memory cards, so users can purchase according to their needs.
He swiped between two screens at the same time, and there were some subtle differences between them.
"Through the blogger's thorough testing, it is clear that the system does have some compatibility issues."
For example, when browsing Weibo, Honor of Kings takes 0.3 seconds longer to load, and when entering the game Plants vs. Zombies, Honor of Kings takes 0.5 seconds longer.
But all of this is within the scope of sensory perception and can be detected without deliberate comparison.
Of course, this could also be a minor bug in the system. We'll have to wait for an official response.
Regardless, Yu Dazui wasn't lying; for 1999, you did indeed get 80% of the Mate experience.
This deserves applause.
The top of the video was filled with "haha" comments...
"Judging from this, the swordsmanship is not bad."
"With the Mate series on display, I suddenly feel that Huawei's product launch was really awkward. They were just playing the victim the whole time. Could they really be losing that much money?"
"Upstairs! Looking at the supply chain alone, they'd definitely lose money; smartphone hardware is really expensive..."
"That enchanting bamboo..."
"Don't try to use that to extort money. They've already started clearing out their inventory. If you want to experience Windows, learn your lesson... feel free to try."
The evaluation process quickly moved on to the most important upgrade: "Battery life and charging are the biggest upgrades, and also, in my opinion, the biggest drawbacks."
He picked up the Honor Play's charger.
"10 watts, Mate is 5 watts."
The part I don't understand the most is that the younger brother killed the older brother.
I really don't know what their project team was thinking...
Our main task today is evaluation. Let's put these things aside for now and see how the fast charging technology actually performs.
First, regarding data accuracy, the official data states a full charge in 58 minutes, but in my own testing, it took me 1 hour and 05 minutes to charge from 3% to 100%.
He showed the charger cable and the official data, and there was indeed a discrepancy, but the difference was actually very small.
There has been tremendous progress compared to before.
"In the first 30 minutes, it charged to 63%, but in the next 30 minutes it slowed down a lot. I asked customer service, and they said it was trickle charging, which is to ensure battery life."
However, I think this strategy is too aggressive and may affect battery cycle life.
However, there is no research on this yet... You can wait for my long-term test in three months. But replacing the battery costs 49 yuan, which I think is negligible.
At this moment, a bunch of copied comments floated across the screen: "Garbage technology, will definitely ruin the battery."
"Exactly, faster charging comes at the cost of battery life. This technology will likely remain a private product for Huawei for the foreseeable future. Regardless of battery costs, it simply increases costs."
"If it were truly a good product, the Mate series wouldn't have used it; why would it be available to the Honor Play? The battery life would definitely be halved in half after six months. Don't worry, Apple wouldn't use this kind of garbage technology."
"All I can say is that this phone is a complete clown. The launch event was full of attempts to gain attention and play the victim, but it was really just about selling nostalgia."
But Xiaobai paused for a moment while unpacking: "Regardless of what everyone thinks of him, the era of one-night stands is really over, and I really like this feeling."
He picked up another main phone, a flagship model from an international brand, which, apart from its small battery, also featured a non-removable design.
That's inhumane.
"This phone takes more than four hours to charge. I've been using it for a long time and have been forced to develop a habit of plugging it in before going to bed and unplugging it in the morning."
If you forget about it one day, it becomes unreachable the next day. Since the Mate was released, it has gradually fallen out of favor.
He held up the Honor Play again: "This phone can be charged forty or fifty times in the time it takes to wash up and eat breakfast in the morning. If it's still not charged enough, you can just replace the battery."
If you were in that situation, which would you choose?
Another multiple-choice question appeared on the screen: Honor Play, Huawei Mate, Apple 3Gs...
"Of course, the shortcomings still need to be mentioned."
A series of configurations are displayed again at the top of the video.
The screen is not fully laminated.
When the screen is off, there is a noticeable color difference between the glass and the display layer. Turning the screen on does not affect the visual experience, but the aesthetics of the screen-off state do not exist.
GPS only supports the US GPS system, not the Russian GLONASS system. Positioning is fine in cities, but in mountainous areas or densely populated areas with tall buildings, satellite acquisition will be slower…
In the last ten seconds or so of the video, he placed the Honor Play next to that international flagship phone.
"With this international competitor opening up the smartphone market and ushering in the first year, there are more and more choices available."
We need to remember the Trail Blazers, but please be careful not to mythologize them.
It also has significant drawbacks, especially the Chinese version, which doesn't even support WiFi due to hardware limitations... resulting in a mediocre user experience.
The domestic Honor brand only costs 1999 yuan, and the experience is similar.
I believe many people simply need a phone that can browse the internet, chat, take photos, and has sufficient battery life, so a Honor phone is enough; there's no need to spend money on something that's unpleasant to use.
He once again performed his classic move, throwing his phone into the trash can, but this time the object was an apple.
"Is this a case of 'dimensional reduction attack,' 'technology for all,' or 'malicious extortion'? What do you think?"
