ZTE Axon M evaluation: full screen era of overtaking

ZTE AxonM evaluation: 2017, we entered the era of full screen, handset manufacturers have followed up, so that this should belong to the point of innovation no longer a trace of innovation taste. Just in our full screen aesthetic tired, the folded phone ZTE Axon The emergence of M opened a new door for us: Perhaps the whole screen is not the final form of the phone.

ZTE Axon M won the CES official award - CES 2018 Innovation Product Award at the just-concluded CES 2018. ZTE Axon M is the only handset in China to receive this award, which proves the uniqueness of folding phones. Today's evaluation, we will look at ZTE Axon M folding cell phone in the end what kind of difference.

From the parameter configuration point of view, ZTE Axon M's biggest bright spot lies in the two folding 5.2-inch screen design, the resolution is 1920 * 1080; the core configuration equipped with Qualcomm Xiaolong 821 mobile platform, supplemented by 6GB RAM +128 GB ROM ; 20 million pixel camera with dual color temperature flash; side fingerprint recognition, dual SIM dual standby, support memory card expansion. Of course, these are not important, is not good-looking, easy to use is what we need more care.

Appearance: Style Decides Trend Details determine success or failure

If the full screen plus rounded chamfer is the overall impression of the era of full-screen era left us, then the design style ZTE Axon M is exactly the opposite ZTE Axon M gives a very tough feeling - the straight body Founder of the line shape, Founder of the shape design, more metal texture highlight CNC black trim and dark matt matte match, so that ZTE Axon M with full of tough guy.First time let me think of a 'smooth and decent era of sharp heterogeneous 'Nut Pro, ZTE Axon M can be said to be the' foldable heterogeneity of the era of full screen shot '.

But the tough guy always have tenderness embellishment, will make Jagged unique style.ZTE Axon M surface with two 2.5D fifth generation Corning gorilla glass cover, the corners of a slight arc transition, the glass closed inside the metal frame, from the inside To a certain degree of drop protection in the side of the corner to the shape of the opening, folding shaft design, just rounded so that the whole machine will not because of tough style and 12.1mm thickness appears clumsy.

Shaft design is actually quite common, such as makeup boxes used by girls, electronic dictionaries used as a child after 90s, and spindle design of notebook computers. The hinge of ZTE Axon M has a reasonable damping, and it is not easy to cause shaft rotation due to excessive resistance. Abrasion will not cause looseness due to too little resistance. When it is opened or closed, the shaft will emit a mechanical sound.

At this time, the problem has also arisen. Is the ZTE Axon M shaft durable? ZTE gave a reply of 40,000 folds to meet the service life of three years. I have roughly calculated if, according to two years, the reasonable number of folds per day is 54. So as long as you don’t use your phone to play the Allegro, the ZTE Axon M Reel is able to stick to a new phone.

The phone's physical keys are focused on the openable and closable side, including the volume keys, press the integrated fingerprinting press the power button, the camera keys. Side of the fingerprint can be said to be flat side of the fuselage to make the best use of a Design, at the same time to a certain extent, to ensure that the LCD screen panel 'screen aesthetic.' Card slot is located above the volume keys, you can put two Nano cards can also be one of the SIM card replaced SD card storage expansion .

The bottom of the fuselage speaker, earpiece symmetrical design, the data interface type Type-C; fuselage top retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. ZTE Axon series has been the main HiFi, ZTE Axon M is the AK4962 chipset, and We also found the supplied headset in the box.

From the overall design and workmanship, ZTE Axon M can be said that under the foot of the effort, the details polished in place, we can even see the screen expand the body fit the desktop trimming processing.

When it comes to feel, 5.2-inch screen can be said that one-handed operation just size, heavy weight so that the machine quite texture, but the lines are inevitable, but in the end, like the tough style of friends will not care about the lines 硌Feel. ZTE official offers a dual-screen folding protective cover, can be purchased separately.

As for how to evaluate, dual screen to meet everyone's aesthetic estimation more difficult, but at least in my opinion, ZTE Axon M design level is higher than the full screen, because it not only provides the concept of folding phones and programs, but also made The mature product and system. Next, we will say double screen.

Folding double screen: After testing the screen after the depth of torture double screen whether gimmicks

Double screen in the end is not a gimmick, whenever there is a different design, there is always such a doubt.In fact, ZTE Axon M is not the history of the first dual-screen folding device, the more typical Sony Tablet P folding double screen Tablet, Kyocera KSP8000, NEC N-05E. Although classic, but it is not famous, because these five or six years ago released the product is not popular.

Let's take a look at the screen of the laboratory test results.Screen manual average brightness of 453nits, to meet the general needs of outdoor viewing is no problem.The default average color temperature of 6506K, NTSC color gamut coverage reached 72% from the actual sentiment, ZTE Axon M's two 5.2-inch 1080p LCD screen color toned, warmer color temperature so that the screen looks very comfortable, prolonged use of mobile phones will not have significant tired eyes.

Previous double-screen folding device is not popular, the reason is that product design flashy. In many cases, the so-called innovation can only stay in the 'innovation' stage, the more complex designs and higher costs in exchange for only the appearance Five years six years ago, smart phone hardware and Android systems are in a more elementary stage, folding double screen more practical difficult to develop and become Gimmicks have become a natural thing.

With the development of smartphones, hardware performance and software environment have grown by leaps and bounds. Whether it is the functional design concept of the software or the performance support of the hardware, it is enough to make the practicality of the folded dual screen full of possibilities. ZTE Axon M provides us with four display modes: single-screen mode, mirror mode, expand mode, dual-screen mode.

Single-screen mode that only the main screen is put into use mode, with no difference between ordinary mobile phone this time ZTE Axon M 5.2-inch screen is more suitable for one-handed operation.

Mirror mode (A / A), the two screens show exactly the same content, horizontal screen display content opposite .This mode completely closed screen rear screen, open a certain angle is more suitable for double use, such as for others to show Content, at the same time watching movies, etc. In the random attachment, we also found the audio one to two adapter, you can plug two headphones at the same time, can be said to be 'tyranny knife'.

Expansion mode, that is, a combination of two screens use a screen, in order to get a larger view. Unapproved applications will default horizontal screen. Of course, this mode is not for you to watch movies, the middle of the splicing line will let You are moved to cry.

Dual-screen mode (A / B), that is, two separate use of the screen. At this time, you have two phones. Of course, the same application can not be opened at the same time, unless the application support avatar.

To be sure, ZTE Axon M provides a more complete dual-screen application mode system, but only these are not enough, as the user we do not care about how many dual-screen mode, we only care about what double screen can bring us Therefore, from the system level, we will continue to provide ZTE Axon M with these functions in the end.

System: Folding double screen is not a gimmick to see it

If the hardware is a cell phone's bladder, then the system is the soul of the cell phone. The bladder is important, but not a powerful and interesting soul, no matter how good the bladder can only take the blame. ZTE Axon M equipped with Android 7.1.2-based depth Optimized Axon M CN 1.1 system, from the fluency and basic functions, Axon M CN 1.1 fold folded double-screen the limelight.

Axon M CN 1.1 can be said to be a pure soul, the overall style of the internal interface settings close to the native Android system, the icon drawn by the shadow to create a three-dimensional card-style effect.Functionally speaking, Axon M CN 1.1 and Compared to several domestic made custom OS, there are indeed gaps.It is difficult to assess the purity of the system objective or objective, after all, some people like to clean, but also some people like to mention heterogeneous complex, feature-rich.But pure system can rely on third parties Expanding functionality while feature-rich systems can not uninstall cumbersome settings is an undisputed fact.

Of course, when it comes to the system, what we are most concerned with is the functionality it gives to the folded dual screen. The single screen mode is not that different from a normal mobile phone. Note that the camera is on the home screen and has only one camera. Turn on the camera's default camera The mode is self-timer. Normal shooting needs to move the screen to the sub-screen. In other words, ordinary mobile phone self-timer, regular shot is to switch the camera, and ZTE Axon M is the switch screen.

Mirror mode As mentioned before, the two screens display exactly the same content, so it is suitable for two-person viewing, mobile phone content display to others, etc. It is interesting is that dual-screen not only mirror the image, but also mirror the operation. Mirroring mode offers great convenience when you can play games for two people.

Expansion mode will be a combination of dual-screen mobile phone, but apparently ZTE consider the problem of dual-screen seams, the optimization idea is similar to the HD version of the software on the flat layout, not just a simple screen magnification, but more for dual-screen For example, the album can be displayed while the album preview, while displaying a single photo details; comes with a browser can display a page while displaying the next level page; QQ reading can be achieved similar to double the paper books Face flip effect; adaptation of live broadcast software can be live screen and the barrage separate, etc. These features can be said to play a great dual-screen advantage.

Currently un-adapted software default horizontal screen display, text input software can provide a larger keyboard, web browsing can also get a wider field of vision, but this is not necessarily for all unmatched software is a good thing, such as playing Interface fragmentation, text display fragmentation, etc. Obviously, in terms of software adaptation, ZTE still need to be further optimized.

Dual-screen mode is also relatively easy to understand.Our multi-screen demand stems from the demand for simultaneous multitasking operations, such as playing games while watching the Raiders; while watching video while chatting with friends, etc., split screen operation is omitted Cut to cut the trouble.However, the traditional single-screen mobile phone screen experience is not very good, because the screen will be limited by the screen size.While the dual-screen mode is precisely to solve these pain points.

In the software drawer, we found two more interesting small applications, the king's handle and gamepad. The king's handle is a handle specially designed for "Glory to the King". After opening the handle on the main screen, the game on the sub-screen can be controlled. It is the simulation handle of most games. The operation and the screen are displayed separately, the advantage is that the hand does not block the game screen.

See here, I believe that playing 3DS friends must have big holes: Since you can simulate the handle, then it is not possible to simulate NDS games? Really. Download NDS simulator, you can adjust the key and screen size , So as to get similar screen effects and operating experience with NDS, but to achieve this NDS simulation needs in the expansion mode.

Performance: the flagship ship is still strong on the double into a divider

More unfortunately, ZTE Axon M did not use the current normalization of Qualcomm flagship processing platform Snapdragon 835, but the flagship Xiaolong 821 mobile platform on the previous generation.It is said that the product is due to an earlier project, the new product design takes longer R & D time also taken for granted.

Snapdragon 821 uses 14nm FiFET Samsung's second-generation LPP process technology, quad-core 64-bit Kryo CPU and Adreno 530 GPU, two large nuclear clocked by the 2.2GHz 2.2GHz upgrade Snapdragon to 2.4GHz, two small Nuclear frequency from 1.6GHz to 2.0GHz, GPU clock speed to 650MHz.

For the performance, we selected the Ann Rabbit 7.0.4, Geekbench 4.1.0, 3DMark three test software ZTE Axon M run sub-test. Bunny results 170995; Geekbench 4.1.0 single-core 1713, multi-core 4370; 3DMark run points reached 30,107, in line with the performance of the regular Snapdragon 821 performance.Although there are some gaps compared with this generation of flagship chip, but compared with the mid-chip positioning is still more obvious advantages.

Since ZTE Axon M has a separate virtual handle adaptation for “Glory to the King,” then we come to experience the experience of the ZTE Axon M. After adjusting the picture quality to the maximum, the game can be played in 50 frames most of the time. The above number of frames is running. It has to be said that the operation and display are separated, the finger does not block the game screen, the integrity of the visual field is guaranteed, and the game experience is obviously improved. ZTE will not give up such a hardware advantage. The more mainstream game virtual controllers will be adapted.

For the feelings of the game player, NDS game is naturally no less.Benefit from the inherent advantages of dual-screen, ZTE Axon M has a more advanced NDS game environment simulation - Vice screen for the screen display, the main screen for Operation handle and small screen simulation.Select some of the more classic NDS game experience during the test, the Snapdragon 821 to meet the performance requirements of these games more than enough.

Take pictures: dual-screen collocation can get the best shooting experience

In the era of full screen, because the front camera can not be hidden, hindering the further increase of the overall screen ratio, there is the idea of ​​canceling the front camera, but with the popularity of facial recognition and self portrait portraits contrary to the dual screen On the phone ZTE Axon M, camera downsizing has become possible, while the foldable dual screen also gives the shooting more interesting gameplay.

ZTE Axon M equipped with a 20 megapixel rear camera, sensor model IMX350, F / 1.8 large aperture, support for dual image stabilization, support for slow motion, beauty, multiple exposure, dynamic photos and other multi-shooting mode, and Equipped with a dual color temperature LED flash. The camera is located in the upper left of the main screen, the entire phone and only this one camera.

The essence of the photo is inseparable from several dimensions, such as resolving power, color orientation, white balance, tolerance and so on. Therefore, our evaluation standard starts the standard photographing environment and sets up a dataized photographing template. At the same time, Imatest software quantifies the experimental data and finally obtains Truly credible evaluation results.

From our studio shoot test, ZTE Axon M has pretty good laboratory data presentation: excellent static analysis, line 2000 is still clearly visible; white balance control 0.037, at a superior level; color deviation from the value of 11, dynamic The range result of 5.98 is almost full mark in our assessment criteria. (Detail: Color deviation / white balance / dynamic range)

From the daytime proofs, the color reproduction is true, the blur effect is excellent, the white balance control also has a stable performance. Macro and large scenes enlarged detail noise control needs to be improved. The amount of light in general, the picture is more pure.Night scene shows ample brightness, noise control capability and room for improvement.

Since only one camera, so the default open the camera, the main screen to enter the shooting interface, this time is the Selfie mode switch to normal shooting mode is the shooting screen to the secondary screen while the dual-screen mode also allows self-timer side while opening the album Photo browsing.
