A plus 5T evaluation: to catch full screen trend and then further

It seems that from time to time, whether it is marketing-driven or technology-driven, handset makers need to create some hot spots to stimulate the market.After last year's dual-camera became popular, starting from the second half of this year, the full screen trend is now on. Then a full screen mobile phone constantly emerge, and even decentralized to thousands of machine attitude.After six months, we finally waited for a plus of the annual flagship - plus 5T.

From December 2013 to the present, in the past four full years, Iga can be said to be a "slow-heat" player compared to the fast-iterating environment of the entire industry. Unlike other vendors that publish dozens of products at random, In addition to a generation more like a test of water plus X, a plus one has been a flagship attitude every year unhurried forward, even after adding a T-3 series, the six-month iteration speed is more like The further addition of the flagship and the summary of the entire annual product.Currently, it seems that one plus 5T is also true, catch a full screen of the last train, hand over the 'plus a 5T' flagship full screen as the answer .And this answer How, we see evaluation.

I remember or in a plus phone 1 conference, even in the pursuit of domestic brand fanatic pursuit of cost-effective atmosphere, Liu Zuhu on stage only a few words to introduce a plus one hardware configuration. No life, not only will not, but on the other hand, a plus so dare in the competitive environment is still able to maintain the reputation of 'flagship killer', and its hardware configuration each generation in the flagship ceiling of the Android It is not unrelated to this part of the article, we first know through hardware to add a 5T.

As you can see, with the T (Turbo) version, a plus 5T continued the Snapdragon 835, 6 / 8GB RAM and high-definition dual-camera so fundamentally tough configuration to ensure that the basic performance of mobile phones.And compared to one plus 5, a plus 5T different point is:

1, the screen is upgraded from 5.5 inches 1080P (16: 9) to 6.01 inches 1080 * 2160 (18: 9);

2, the proportion of screen upgrade from 73% to 80.5%;

3, increase face recognition as an auxiliary to unlock;

4, fingerprint recognition rear

5, the camera by a plus 5 IMX350 changed IMX367K;

6, the battery increased from 3300mAh to 3350mAh;

As you can see, due to the change of the screen, a plus 5T in the appearance and interaction have changed, so our evaluation, around a plus 5T this full screen Speaking.

Interpretation of appearance

One plus 5T compared with one plus 5 The biggest feature is the use of 18: 9 full-screen design, the screen accounted for by the previous plus 5 73% upgrade to 80.5%, so the body is more slender, and still maintained 7.25mm slim body 162g body weight is more modest compared to the same size but with the HTC U11 + glass body, light 26g, feel really thin hands.

On the other hand, a plus 5T full-screen design in addition to bringing a high screen share, but also makes consistent use of pre-fingerprint identification of the first plus a post-fingerprint, this design has caused some controversy. Prior to this, Liu Zuhu once said that fingerprints in his view is not a good choice, but for this choice, Liu Zuhu microblogging also gave its own explanation: a full screen makes a plus 5T screen accounted for Than a substantial increase, so put a fingerprints will appear somewhat redundant, while in fact for the post-fingerprints.

In fact, we post fingerprinting, nothing more than functional Tucao phone is flat on the table when not fast enough, so a plus 5T also gives the facial recognition of this ancillary features on this plus a 5T facial recognition, experience In the author's biggest feeling is a word: fast.At the moment you press the power button will be able to unlock, although the security can not be compared with the Face ID, but as an auxiliary unlock feature, plus a 5T facial recognition excellent Completed the task.

In addition, as early as one plus 3T, one plus repeatedly polish out a 'hip line' to enhance the feel and a plus 5T to retain the design, the back of the curved design on both sides to make a chic in the border The vertical line, making the actual experience, feel more slim.At the same time, plus a 5T retains its classic three-section volume keys, after the habit is indeed more than non-stop press the volume button convenient.

One plus has always insisted on 'not to' design concept, refuses to follow suit.Although the current flagship of other flagship glass materials are favored in the selection of the back cover, but one plus 5T is still using a metal back cover, I believe that this plus one In fact, as early as one plus one era, baby skin, sandstone and other unique characteristics of the back cover has been proven one plus for the choice of the back cover and enhance the feel Of the familiar 稔 skills, and in a plus 3, plus 3T, plus 5 in the use of a metal back cover also makes a plus to defend the 'feel really TM cool' reputation. Plus a 5T is no exception, there is no wind behind Cover, at least bring is still excellent, robust feel.

H2OS system experience:

Due to the use of a full screen, a plus 5T is also changed compared to the previous system interaction, the most obvious change is the support for full screen and the use of virtual keys. And one plus hydrogen OS has been relatively close to Andrews native Lightweight system, therefore, plus a 5T equipped with the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen OS is also close to its native light weight features to adapt.

First of all, its advantage is still the overall system of lightweight, with a plus 5T This has reached the current configuration of Android mobile phone ceiling, to ensure the fluency of the system experience.Another plus seems to be the system for over-animation speed is adjusted (similar to MIUI In the 0.5-speed animation), bringing a visually brisk effect.

There are two types of desktops to choose from in one plus system: the icon and UI are close to the native Android when you choose one plus desktop, and there is a second level menu.When you select the hydrogen desktop, it is a lighter and clearer style, the most important is Above there is a 'hydrogen window' where you can set the image, with only one level of menu.

At present, a plus desktop also has a negative screen, integrates some traffic management, quick notes, recent applications and other useful features, although the overall system functionality is small, but you can add some built-in widget that to some extent ease The system function less problems.

And thanks to the system's native, native Android 7.0 long press the application icon exhaled shortcut menu function (like Apple 3D TOUCH) also be preserved, the actual experience is still very useful, for example, long press the weibo icon exhaled fast hair micro Bo and other functions, pay long press the PayPal icon exhaled payment, payment and other functions.But currently support this feature is not enough third-party APP, such as WeChat, QQ does not support.

As mentioned before, the disadvantage of the current hydrogen OS is also due to its preference for the lightweight native Andrews, localized on the system still need to be further strengthened: for example, set the alarm, set the time to choose to repeat each day, and one plus alarm and Apple Similarly, only set Monday to Friday, can not set skipping legal holidays.

While almost all other domestic manufacturers receive the verification code at the same time a key copy of the function, in a plus system identification also need to further enrich the data, and occasionally identify inaccuracies. And one plus also promised to follow up the data will be further Updated.

In addition, the mainstream video site during playback, there are black and virtual keys, if the black side is the current 18: 9 mobile phone and 16: 9 video resources do not match the objective reasons, that full-screen play video throwing the virtual key part Of course, this is a video player software for full-screen mobile phone post-fit problem can only be solved by upgrading the APP after the system virtual button, the user can manually shut down in the settings.

A plus 5T photo test:

Compared to a plus 5, plus a 5T camera has been re-created, although the appearance remains the same, but the two-camera program has been completely different, we first through a form to briefly comb a plus 5T camera parameters.

As you can see, a plus 5T main camera is still the same as a plus 5, for Sony's 16 million pixel IMX398 sensor, support for phase focus and two-pixel focus.But vice camera there is a big change from the previous Sony IMX350 into IMX376k, the pixel remains at 20 million, the aperture increased from f / 2.6 to f / 1.7, the amount of light into the larger one is worth noting that this new 20 megapixel sub-photo has a special 'low light mode' by combining Pixels boost the amount of light and optimize imaging in dark light conditions.

Therefore, a plus 5T double shot in fact with a plus 5 is essentially different: on the one hand to maintain the parameters of the main shot, on the other hand will be the quality of the Deputy made a comprehensive adjustment, to give up a plus 5 wide-angle + long Coke (24mm +36 mm) dual-camera combination, using two wide-angle lens (both 27mm), while retaining a certain zoom performance, portrait bokeh based on better dark light shooting effect. Here we use Proofs to speak.

In the daytime environment, plus a 5T exposure sufficient, full color, the impression is very comfortable.Benefit from the double-pixel focus of the blessing, a plus 5T of the focus is very fast, any scene does not pull the bellows sense of procrastination, giving people stay Under a deep impression.

We learned from one plus officials that a 10T plus 5T will turn on the secondary camera when the ambient light is reduced to less than 10 lux. The brightness of 10 lux is equivalent to the indoor at dusk. Using this as a reference, Common dark scenes, plus a 5T vice camera will be responsible for imaging.

Despite the lack of optical image stabilization, but this deputy shot using IMX376k sensor through a special pixel arrangement so that every 4 pixels into a pixel sensor, the sensitivity of more than 300% higher than the average sensor, and then through the algorithm will resolve the image quality Restore, taking into account certain details.So from the proofs, one plus 5T picture bright, while retaining enough detail, the noise is also suppressed, the overall picture is pure, the impression is good.

In addition to enhance the dark light shooting, the IMX376k sensor is also responsible for capturing depth of field information for portrait mode background blur for reference. In portrait mode, a plus 5T of the subject edge recognition accuracy, the background blur effect is relatively natural, in the mainstream level.

Need additional explanation is that although a plus 5T vice shot is not a traditional telephoto lens, can not achieve true optical zoom, but a plus 5T through the corresponding algorithm to enhance, still has a good digital zoom effect, enlarged to 2 times Still clear enough for everyday use.

Overall, one plus 5T through the hardware and software corresponding adjustments, bringing a stable zoom, portraits shooting performance, and further enhance the dark light shooting, with good imaging performance.

Hardware experience:

One plus 5T built-in Snapdragon 835 processor, the flagship processor on the performance we do not have to say, after all, this processor has been proven in the major flagship of their own strength.Application Lao La conference a sentence: Performance, life 腼 腆.

Skip boring run points into the "king of glory." Plus a 5T in the game throughout the course almost all stable at 29-30Fps, high frame rate mode will be officially adapted next month, I believe that the overall time of the game The experience will be smoother.While mainly in the CPU core scheduling, in the game into the scene and multiplayer battles, you can achieve a stable full-frequency operation.

In terms of battery life, a plus 5T plus a plus more than 50mAh battery, the overall battery life is almost the same.About 90% of the morning power out, after a day of moderate use, standby to 1% for a total of 12 hours, The overall process of power-down curve is smooth, bright screen total time of 5 hours and 22 minutes, so the results for the Snapdragon 835 be considered a more normal level.

Charging speed, plus a 5T standard charging head maximum support 5V4A charging power, the actual charging power of 17W, a plus 5T claims that half an hour can be filled with 60%, the actual test half an hour from 1% to 56%, full of the entire It takes 90 minutes to charge.

Another plus 5T this time using face recognition, compared to Face ID, the vast majority of Android mobile phone face recognition is still based on 2D face recognition technology, by identifying the user's 1024 facial features intelligent matching. ID is through the original deep camera system, through the dot matrix projector will be 30000 invisible eye spot projected on the user's face, draw the user's face spectrum, scan the face of the 3D structure in the safety and accuracy, Andrews face recognition can only do so to the main effect of ancillary. More accurate and safe identification, or the need to complete the fingerprint. However, it should be noted that one plus face recognition cancel unlock animation transition , With the unlock sound, a kind of 'bang' soon unlock the experience, is really very fast, but in the dark ambient light conditions, or the emergence of Android phone inherent face recognition is not easy to use.

to sum up:

When the second half of this year, almost all manufacturers are hurrying to launch a new wave of full screen wave after wave of one plus also finally at the end of time to catch the trend of this full screen, but for this full screen, a plus Abandoned for many years before the fingerprinting, adding a virtual button, the change is nothing more than a plus 5T has the top configuration of the current Andrews phone from the product strength, a plus 5T almost no obvious flaws, top Andrews top product.
