moto z 2018 evaluation: 45 years of heritage quality flagship

As a veteran of the mobile phone industry, motorola helped humans to set foot on the moon as early as 1969, sending the first greeting from the moon. In 1973, Martin Cooper, general manager of the motorola communications system department, broadcast on the streets of Manhattan, New York A phone call, invented the world's first mobile phone, opened a new era of mobile communications, but also laid the motorola brand belief in one fell swoop: the most advanced technology will be deposited in each product, relying on innovation and quality continue to lead the industry development of.

45 years in a hurry past, motorola left in the meantime classic products such as V998, V3, milestone, Razr, these products are without exception the motorola brand innovation and quality of the totem, a 'Hello Moto' behind, presumably also full A variety of memories now filled with 45 years of heritage and expectations, the official launch of the moto z 2018. As the flagship product of motorola in 2017, will modularization, broken screen and other advanced features into the moto z 2018 has what kind of performance? This evaluation is about to reveal the answer.

moto z 2018 positioning high-end, not only customized package for sale, but also specially invited Chen Kun as the spokesperson, and this hand is moto and Chen Kun re-lasted 12 years of the forefront of both quality, there is a precipitate image coincide First, a simple form to understand moto z 2018 hardware parameters.

Its highlights in the author seems to have the following three points: First, the flagship hardware configuration, Snapdragon 835, 6GB +128 GB, HiFi, etc. followed by high-quality industrial design, high-strength aluminum body is only 6.1mm Thickness, with the exclusive Moto ShatterShield anti-smash screen technology, truly high quality and finally a modular design, through the magnetic connection module, thereby extending the functionality of mobile phones, is the more complete modular solutions.Overall, moto z 2018 is a flagship model with a higher level, here we start to evaluate.

Exterior and industrial design

moto in the field of mobile communications has nearly half a century of history, once created v998, v3, milestone, Razr and other classic design, the sense of quality has become a branded brand totem. moto z 2018 continues the moto in recent years mature design language , Slim and delicate appearance, the integration of its advanced technology, created a generation of superior quality flagship product, here we will explain in detail the moto z 2018 design.

Moto z 2018 has a slim 6.1mm body, the side of the visual impact of great perspective, while the edge of the diamond cutting process, around the fuselage to create a bright side, showing a sense of good quality. In addition, the all-metal fuselage made of 7000 series aluminum alloy, lightweight materials, while compared to the commonly used 6000 series aluminum alloy has a stronger hardness, ensuring the strength of the fuselage.

moto z 2018's body with a fine texture, golden logo embellished, understated without losing grace, a symbol of the brand motorola the bottom is used to connect Moto Mods module contact 'Mods Smart Surface' 23K gold-plated, and the module through the magnetic fit, that is, paste that is used.

The camera, the moto z 2018 dual 12 million pixel camera, laser focus module, two-color temperature flash integrated in a circular area, forming a slightly Moe expression. Dual camera with color + black and white solutions, Sony IMX386 sensor, F 2.0 large aperture, photo effect in the later we will explain in detail.

moto z 2018 back of the antenna design is very unique, around the fuselage has a circle of injection molding ring, moto called dynamic smart tuned loop antenna, including 4G, Wi-Fi, NFC and other antennas are integrated therein, indicating moto in the field of communications The attainments.

There is also a small detail, moto z 2018 antenna injection also hides a mic, while the moto z 2018 has a total of three mic, the rest are located in the top of the fuselage and the lower left corner of the front panel, mic can do better Noise suppression, make the call clearer, which is moto NICAM.

Positive point of view, the moto z 2018 uses a 5.5 inches 2k resolution AMOLED screen, integrated motorola developed exclusive Moto ShatterShield anti-broken screen technology, material selection and structural design significantly reduce the probability of broken screen.According to the introduction of moto, The screen features eight layers of impact-absorbing design, from the inside to the outside, aluminum substrates, crash proof connections, flexible AMOLED display layers, dual touch structures, high pass lenses, crystal-through adhesive layers, ShatterShield lenses and Anti-scratch coating.

One of the aluminum substrate to ensure the overall strength, flexible AMOLED display layer thin and tough, dual touch structure can be a single touch failure to ensure operation, played a double insurance role, ShatterShield lenses for a composite material, different from Our common glass, better toughness, can effectively buffer the impact of the outside world, the outermost scratch-resistant coating can enhance the screen hardness, to prevent scratches.So compared to other slightly 'delicate' high-end mobile phone, moto z2018 is obviously more reliable.

The default is quite Fan Business Van '45 anniversary of the' theme, mainly brown color, and appearance of the black gold texture echoes.

Function, ZUI3.1 support WeChat, QQ social networking applications such as double open, there are two micro-channel mobile phone, QQ, two Weibo and other software, and double-open applications between the data do not affect each other, you can run at the same time. Campaign mall business users for many years, one side is the pressure of work, on the one hand is to take care of the family, in order to coordinate these relationships, multiple accounts are often the solution to the problem, the application of moto z 2018 features open just to meet this demand, enabling users to work and Life scenes calmly switch identity.

Sometimes, we would like to spend more time with their families alone, but because of the face and it is difficult to reject some of the invitation, into an awkward position. At this time, moto z 2018 position through the function is the best solution. ZUI's 'TasteFunction' allows users to send 'virtual location' information in designated applications after they are traversed in the open position, such as locating a non-local in a WeChat circle of friends to create an 'out of the field' reason for gracefully returning Absolute solution of embarrassment.

In addition to the above functional innovation, moto classic human-computer interaction functions and reservations, moto z 2018 support gestures, shake the phone left and right to quickly start the camera, shake the phone up and down the flashlight, these functions have some practical significance. Camera, the trigger rate is almost 100%, the user can pull out the phone from the beginning to the hands holding the phone ready to take pictures can be completed.

There Moto display, is what we often say Always On function, the use of self-luminous AMOLED screen features, time, messages and other information will be displayed directly under the black screen, in terms of power consumption and practically done a good balance.

12 million pixel imaging experience

moto z 2018 camera should be the moto models in recent years, the strongest camera hardware, so the performance is worth the wait.
