Glory Play 7C Review: High-end to create hundred yuan boutique

'Consumer upgrade' is the word most mentioned in the smart phone industry in the past two years. For manufacturers, it is hoped that brand tone will continue to be promoted. For real consumers, it is hoped to buy at the right price. To the best products. Compared to buying a thousand dollars a few years ago, it is simply to buy a configuration. Today's thousands of machines can also have their own characteristics, rather than the 'one thousand machines'. With the technology of the mobile phone industry Progressively, many of these technologies used in the mid-to-high end have gradually been decentralized to thousands of units. If you sum up last year's mobile phone market, the full screen and dual camera will definitely be the two hottest words. Today, we're evaluating the glory play. 7C, in the thousands of stalls for the consumer brought together last year at the flagship level can exist at the same time two selling points.

Different from Charm Blue/Red Rice, it also belongs to the three series of X/C/A. The product is divided into X/C/A series. The positioning of each product is more subdivided, highlighting the selling point of each product, forming a distinct Differentiation, for consumers, offers more choices to facilitate the purchase of products that are more in line with their own needs. In Glory Play 7C, the dual camera and full screen are all brought together, even adding face recognition. This kind of specification is rarely seen in the C-series products in the past. Therefore, let's look at the hardware configuration of the 7C.

From the table, you can see that the Glory Chang 7C has a relatively average level of hardware configuration. Within a thousand dollars, 3/4 GB of RAM is available, and the selected CPU is the Snapdragon 450, although it is a 4 Series. But its use of 14nm process, the main frequency of 1.8GHz, basically can be seen as the low frequency version of the Snapdragon 625, for the phone's power consumption and performance have a good balance. Where the color is also a standard 18:9 Full screen, and as a mobile phone that sells for less than 1,000 yuan, even the first face recognition function (will be pushed after March 12th), you can see that both in the hardware and software, glory play 7C are Can be considered a sincere work.

Glory 7C Appearance: Thousand yuan full screen, practical feel praise

As a member of the Glory family, Glory 7C also inherited some of the advantages of other products of the same series in design. Among them, the biggest bright spot is the 5.99-inch full screen. As a price control in the thousand dollars Products, Glory 7C can be said to use a comprehensive screen is very conscience. Of course, in addition to the overall screen, the glory 7C still has some bright spots in the design.

First of all, although the glory 7C is equipped with a 5.99-inch large screen. But in the full screen of the blessing, the actual body measurements glory 7C actually consistent with other common 5.5-inch models.

At the top of the fuselage, in addition to the traditional sensors and front camera, Glory Chang 7C is also equipped with a front soft light, can support manual / automatic adjustment of soft light brightness, more convenient self-timer.

At the same time, in order to improve the user's feelings, Glory 7C whether in the front panel and the middle of the box office, or the body of the four corners of the design and even each button is reflected in the classic round and rectangular elements. The author's actual experience, you can There is no problem with holding one hand.

The body material, due to cost constraints, glory 7C does not use all-metal body, but the use of a three-stage metal body design. However, in order to ensure the consistency of the fuselage, glory 7C using exquisite spray Sand technology further enhances the look and feel of the upper and lower parts of the fuselage.

Turning to the back, compared to the glamorous eyes on the back of the glory 7X, the design of the glory 7C is more conservative. The double camera and the flash unit form a module and is still placed in the upper left corner of the fuselage. It is a fingerprint identification module.

The bottom of the fuselage is also a glorious design for this series. It uses a microUSB interface. The 3.5mm headphone jack on the left side and the microphone and speaker on the right side. In order to meet the individual needs of users, Glory 7C With Platinum Gold, Magic Night Black, Aurora Blue, and Charm Flame Red.

In general, in respect of the overall design, the Glory 7C can be said to have inherited many excellent features of its predecessors, such as simple and rounded design concepts, delicate three-piece metal body design, etc. In addition, the full screen Blessing also makes the glory 7C add a lot of color.

Glory 7C System: EMUI 8.0 blessing, face recognition is the highlight

System, Glory 7C uses a mature EMUI 8.0 system (the system is based on Android 8.0), as one of the best mature UI in the country. EMUI after many generations of development, whether in the operating logic or overall design can be in the forefront. At the same time, Glory 7C's EMUI 8.0 has also been specifically adapted for the full screen. Here we come to experience it.

First of all, what I value most is the face recognition function of the Honor 7C. After the iPhone X, many Android products follow this feature. However, the products that currently have face recognition are basically some flagship products. Glory puts the standard face recognition on the glory 7C positioning thousand Yuan product. It can be said to be full of sincerity.

According to the understanding, Glory 7C uses face recognition technology based on 1024 feature dimensions. Unlock information will not be uploaded to the network. All the identification information will be stored in the local security zone to further ensure the privacy of the user. But now The author's hand is still the cause of the engineering machine, this function author still has no way to experience. (Formal function will be gradually pushed after the release of the product on March 12)

Second, as a product with a full screen, compared to the normal 16:9 screen, 18:9 full screen can display more content, such as in the Netease News App, equipped with 18:9 full screen glory 7C You can display more news, and the current mainstream APPs, such as Sina Weibo, Wechat, and Taobao, have been fully adapted for the full screen, and the experience is perfect.

In addition, for some applications without adaptation, EMUI8.0 specifically provides the option of full-screen display. After the opening, EMUI will automatically fill the black border according to the actual situation. Of course, this is compared to the official adaptation. The method may also cause the APP to display abnormally. However, the actual experience, the author did not encounter the phenomenon of abnormal display, so this feature is still of practical value.

In the overall screen, the author's most value is the split screen function. Compared with the ordinary products with 16:9 screen, the 18:9 screen brings more visual experience, but also makes the split screen function more For example, as you can see from the screenshot above, under the bonus of full screen, the author can easily use the split screen function to synchronously brush the microblog while watching the video.

In the system experience section, the mature EMUI 8.0 with a full screen can be said to provide users with more excellent experience. At the same time, the first use of face recognition in thousands of machines is not only a technical display, but also for universal face recognition. Take a solid step and be sincere to the user.

Camera part:

One of the highlights of this glorious play of 7C is that it provides double shots at a price of less than 1,000 yuan, which is very rare in the same price range. Glory Play 7C's rear dual camera is 13 million + 2 million Pixels. In this part of the article, we will take a look at actual samples to see how the glory of the 7C dual camera works.

Play the 7C rear camera as the main camera + depth-of-field camera dual camera solution. The main camera is 13 million pixels, the aperture is f/2.2, is responsible for recording screen information, the secondary camera is 2 million pixels, responsible for the depth of field information collection, The two work together to achieve a large aperture blur effect background.

In the actual experience, after opening the large aperture mode, the glory of playing the 7C still brings a good depth of field effect. The effect of the background blur of the whole photo is relatively natural, there is no blocky BUG, ​​but thanks to this 2 million The depth of field camera, Glory Chang 7C for the edge of the subject, the recognition is also quite accurate. Blurring effect in the same price products have a good performance.

Turn off the large aperture mode. Under the normal mode shooting, the brightness of the 7C screen of Glory played well, with a certain level of sense, but the saturation of the color is somewhat lacking, and the color of the object is too light.

In the night scene, the brightness of the 7C screen of glory is still good, but it also brings some noise problems, and some glare control is also lacking, compared to daytime should be strengthened.

Hardware Configuration:

This time, Glory Play 7C uses a Snapdragon 450 processor, and as an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 435, the Snapdragon 450 uses a 14nm process. Compared with the previous generation of 28nm, it has a very obvious technological progress, with a maximum frequency of 1.8. GHz, eight core, CPU performance compared to Xiaolong 435 can have a 25% increase. GPU is Adreno 506, consistent with the generation of God Yu Long 625. DSP upgrade to Hexagon 546, support QC 3.0 fast charge, support up to double 1300 Megapixel dual camera. From the parameters alone, the main parameters of Xiaolong 450 and Xiaolong 625 are basically the same, which can be seen as a down version of Xiaolong 625.

As for why the Snapdragon 450 processor was selected, I believe that Snapdragon 450's main performance and power consumption balance, matching glory play 7C built-in 3000mAh battery, combined with EMUI 8.0 intelligent power saving, there is a certain degree of protection in battery life On the baseband, the upgrade of the Xiaolong 450 to X9 LTE ​​ensures that the Glory Chang 7C can support mobile, China Unicom, and Telecom 4G/3G/2G network standards. Consumers do not have to consider operator issues when purchasing.

In order to ensure the gaming experience, Glory Changwan 7C also provides 4GB RAM optional (high version), to ensure a smooth experience of the system to a certain extent. For the loading of the game, the switching speed has a direct improvement, the user can realistically attend to the Grand Canal. In the actual experience, even if dealing with a large game such as "Glory to the King", Glory Play 7C can provide a smoother experience during the game. The whole game down, the frame number is basically stable at around 25Fps.

to sum up:

In today's era, Hundred-dollar machines have not been as lively as before, Glory still adheres to its own route. While ensuring product cost-effectiveness, follow-up dual camera, full screen and other such hardware configuration that appeared on the flagship only at the same time last year, collective It is decentralized to the hundred-dollar machine and keeps ahead in terms of hardware specifications. It also supports the face recognition function and becomes the first hundred-dollar machine to support this function, so as to seize the pain points of users and improve user stickiness. This year's hundred yuan machine will be The competition has been upgraded to a new height, further consolidating the position of honoring the first Internet brand.
