I do not know since when, HTC mobile phone figure has basically disappeared from the streets - the world's first Android phone maker, cell phone giant and the industry numerous times the world's first founder, has become a Sony's cellphone-like beliefs - though the product looks good, people do not buy for a variety of reasons.
2018 The first year, HTC and Meizu press conference hit together, the latter thousand yuan product charm blue S6 is the same price workmanship superior products, but weak performance and power consumption, fever control capabilities make it into A "look like the goods." As for HTC's U11 EYEs, it is basically under pressure after the release of my base - although I am also a 'Believers' HTC a member, but in hand there is a flagship U11 When the main situation, I really can not think of a midrange machine to replace the same brand flagship significance.
Good time is not long ah, approaching the New Year, my girlfriend suddenly requisitioned my HTC U11, and the other hand camera phone vivo X20Plus Unfortunately, I was sent down from the stairs to smash the screen. Plan to travel in Hangzhou circle, there is no camera phone how to do? So, I took out this 'dusty' more than half a month of U11 EYEs, and it started a week-long trip to Hangzhou.
First to briefly summarize the use of this week more experience it: the best price with the camera, but all other aspects of the experience are slightly lower than the same level with the average.
In other words, HTC U11 EYEs this phone and Charm Blue S6 in fact has a similar effect - in some ways the strength of quite prominent, but the short board and defects are also very obvious.
First of all, the advantages of taking pictures of it right. HTC U11 EYEs uses a 1 / 2.5 inch 12 million pixel sensor (single pixel area 1.4μm) with F / 1.7 lens (optical image stabilization) specifications with its flagship U11 and The U11 + is the same solution that takes the industry as a flagship, with similar camera specifications such as the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel.
I used U11 EYEs to take a lot of photos around the West Lake, covering a variety of special scenes such as general daytime scenes, dark light and high contrast. It perfectly completes my mission to keep track of this trip.
Sample a simple taste of salt:
'Click the following proofs to see the uncompressed original'
In terms of proof of concept, HTC U11 EYEs during the day into a film in resolution, tolerance has the same price as the number one strength, its multiple synthesis to enhance the quality of the algorithm HDR Boost in many ways to improve the overall imaging quality of the camera It is worth mentioning that HTC's HDR Boost and many manufacturers of multiple synthesis algorithm is different, no need to wait after the camera, the phone will be more than one synthesis operation automatically moved into the background; therefore, HTC phone camera quite high efficiency.
1 second handheld long exposure proofs
Taking photographs at night and phones without optical image stabilization often made it difficult to reduce noise with longer exposures, so the HTC U11 EYEs continued to win at the starting line for the hardware specs. I used it for a second in handheld mode Photos, the ISO control at 100, the whole picture is very pure.You know, the general mobile phone optical image stabilization is unable to meet the 1 second handheld does not jitter, it seems U11 EYEs lens module is quite conscientious in the anti-shake performance It's
Automatic mode 'night vision' level performance
However, there is always a need to capture at night, you can not always open professional mode take a long exposure of 1. In the use of automatic mode to try night shot, I found U11 EYEs proofs of the same picture quality, HDR Boost blessing , The noise has been effectively reduced, while the details of the screen did not lose a lot; the most critical is that this 'night vision' level screen brightness and color reproduction, before this year, we only 4,000 yuan in the flagship body Seen. HTC U11 EYEs, is the first flagship night shot qualities down to the price of 3,000 yuan phone.
As a result, we got the first major point of this article: If you need a photo flagship and are not willing to pay big bucks for the Samsung Galaxy S, Google Pixel and vivo Xplay, buy a HTC U11 EYEs, it will not Let you down
Until 2017, HTC has been playing metal body - in fact, they are the most extreme metal body to play the manufacturers.
The world's first metal three-section phone
From 2010, the world's first metallic three-segment phone, Legend (G6), to 2013, One Max, which was plagiarized by innumerable domestic mobile phones, to 2015, the One A9 with triple drawing, sandblasting and polishing technologies And the HTC CIO 2016 that perfectly improved (but did not look good) on the HTC 10, HTC could always play with the metal body and has been imitated and never surpassed - until 2017 .
HTC U11
With the release of U Ultra and U Play, the world-class HTC technology announced in the metal fuselage process, which has led to the sigh of the industry - we all think that 'follow the trend of making glass' However, HTC also used the U11 to create the most beautiful glass phone in history ... what did you mean by that? 'Your uncle, or your uncle.'
The U11 EYEs that I recently experimented with also follow the material and workmanship of the flagship U11 +. The fuselage features a front 2.5D arc glass, a 3D glass back and a metal center frame. There is no exposed plastic wrap at the glass-metal junction , And the gap control is in place, has basically solved the problem of non-integral body feel (previously Samsung or millet, all the glass + metal body split problem can not do anything).
Not only that, HTC U11 EYEs glass backing plate with a special coating primer, the process is officially known as 'spectral mixed color technology', in simple terms, this process bless the glass body can be in different environments Light reflects different colors and forms - the front to remind that the glory of 9 big blowing special 'Aurora glass' and HTC's glass body compared to totally not at a level. Say no good, I was in Hangzhou U11 EYEs shot a group of photos, we can see a reason to see.
Although my hands HTC U11 EYEs are black body, but this magical glass still make the phone looks colorful. There are many glass phones, but the view is so transparent hearty glass phone, the entire industry currently only HTC can Take out as a foundry started the factory, workmanship is always the strengths of its HTC.
As a result, we got the second major point of this experience: If you want to buy a camera at the price of 3,000 yuan and good, take out the hand and the baby has a decent phone, HTC U11 EYEs is the market The only choice
However, as the article begins with, the HTC U11 EYEs is a handset that has the same outstanding advantages and shortcomings that are very similar to the charm blue S6. In 2018, China's mobile internet application environment was completely unmatched three years ago , But HTC is very bold for the U11 EYEs is equipped with a hardware platform three years ago - Qualcomm Xiaolong 652. This initiative makes U11 EYEs in dealing with severe use of powerless, performance is not enough, heat power consumption can not hold, live off Of the old bull pull the cart, simply can not pull up.
Uppercase embarrassment ...
So, in Hangzhou these days I basically take U11 EYEs when the backup machine to use - daily work and eat chicken by the hardware and software are more adapted to the domestic application environment OPPO R11s to get, where the need to take pictures, video, etc. Use the camera's scene, or listen to songs and watch the video and so the main pressure to share the work, to the U11 EYEs to complete.
Then at this time may be asked, Xiaolong 652 really so unbearable it? 2015 in the high-end SoC, now impossible to even hit a thousand machines, right? I will tell you specifically: Really beat.
After GeekBench 4 benchmark performance test, Snapdragon 652's GPU benchmark performance is the level of a Snapdragon 630, which is now hot pot of thousands of machine market, while the focus is still behind the Snapdragon 630 14nm process technology to make it In long-lasting high-performance operation (such as games) occasions, can play more stable performance than Xiaolong 652 28nm process performance, lower power consumption and fever. Do not underestimate this point process differences, for hardware performance and battery life, The impact of fever is really too big.
After our 5-hour overweight endurance test simulating heavy usage throughout the day, HTC U11 EYEs had a remaining power of only 14%, while U11 with a 10nm process Snapdragon 835, with 930mAh less battery capacity than U11 EYEs, Still measured 32% of remaining power outstanding results.
The two phones from the same manufacturer made such a huge difference in performance, U11 'flagship son' optimization may be part of the impact, and the fundamental reason is that 28nm and 10nm SoC power control capabilities. Snapdragon 835's performance Higher, but in the measurement, its fever and power consumption performance should be significantly better than the Snapdragon 652, Imagine, equipped with the latter's U11 EYEs, how to perfect the current rogue software a lot, the daily heavy tasks Domestic application environment does not exist.
In addition, the U11 EYEs as a HTC phone, of course, also supports HTC a feature called Edge Sense (border pressure sensation) .This feature through the phone in the middle of the pressure sensor box. Here is a direct reference to me It was described in a previous U11 EYEs experiential article:
Like the flagship U11 and U11 +, the HTC U11 EYEs support Edge Sense with short and long basic movements, and you can summon a wheel for easy one-handed operation by short global squeeze, This wheel can be placed in commonly used APP and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other quick settings; and 'Advanced' operation includes the third party APP squeeze shortcut keys, skilled use you can even do without touching the screen Under the premise of a set of 'even strokes', such as long squeeze open the camera → long squeeze switch before and after the camera → short squeeze shot, with U11 EYEs fuselage IP67 grade dust and water, when the underwater touch screen failure 'Even strokes' will be able to easily take pictures of similar strokes there are many, we can slowly explore the actual experience.
The reason I cite a while ago article is that while Edge Sense is novel, it took me a couple of days to lose my freshness and I no longer use it - in short, HTC Edge Sense is currently overly single , Can not form an effective user stickiness, in addition to special scenes such as underwater, in general, touch the screen to complete the operation will be easier than using Edge Sense, but also more in line with user habits.
For the moment, if you have to rely on Edge Sense only underwater, how often do you have to use your cellphone underwater a year? How do you cultivate Edge Sense in this context? It is quite difficult to create a whole new set of operating logic yourself. If HTC really wants to seize it as the main selling point of its own handset products, it will still have to work harder in terms of functionality and ease of use.
Finally, we come to the third and final major point of this experience: If you already have a machine that is large enough to handle everyday tasks and games, you need to buy a spare machine that is plugged in and hope This spare machine can have a powerful camera capabilities and excellent workmanship and quality, then the HTC U11 EYEs is your only choice.
Although it looks beautiful, even though it is a more beautiful camera, although it comes from a legendary manufacturer - but I am very sorry, it can only become your standby card plug-in. Feelings of disappointment without disguising: If the original HTC Choose Xiaolong 660 platform, what will happen?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as life, the phone 'machine life', too.
