Popularization of full screen / battery life is a highlight | Nubian V18 depth experience

On March 22nd, Nubia held a spring new product conference in Beijing Jingyuan. At the conference, Nubia released a brand-new product: Nubian V18. Speaking, in a short week, Several brands, including Nubia, publish their thousand-dollar products, which also indicates that the Thousand Yuan machine market will enter a new round of competition. As Nubian’s first product to enter the Thousand Yuan machine market, The Nubian V18 can be said to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Today, the author talked to you about Nubia V18.

At the press conference, Nubian Ni always introduced us to the original intention of creating the V series. For the current Qianyuan machine market, their main target is young people, and young people are very demanding on mobile phones. Therefore, Nubia specifically conducted market research and found that young people have certain requirements on the appearance, performance, photographing, and systems of mobile phones. At present, there are thousands of machines on the market that cannot meet the needs of young people. Demand. It is precisely for this reason that Nubia tailors a whole new series specifically for young people. That is the V series.

Back to the product itself, the Nubian V18 still has a lot of highlights, including the popular screen elements such as full screen/face recognition/AI voice, which are reflected in the Nubian V18. In the following experience, the author will also Explain to you one by one.

Nubian V18 appearance part:

For most users, the first impression of mobile phones is the appearance. Therefore, what are the highlights of the Nubian V18 in appearance? Let's take a look.

After reading the atlas, everyone believes that the Nubian V18's design highlights are also known. As a thousand Yuan machine, the overall design of the Nubian V18 is still relatively good. Especially for the feel, it left the author More impressive.

Nubian V18 camera part:

As Nubia's traditional strengths, Nubian V18 learns Nubia's advantages in photography. The mature NeoVision7.0 image engine provides powerful support for users to create beautiful photos. In terms of hardware, 13 million post-placements +800 megapixel front combination is also pretty good. Here we directly look at the performance of proofs.

From the perspective of the daytime proofs, the overall performance of the Nubian V18 will be fine. The color reproduction of the picture is also relatively normal. The details of the light and shade are well-established. However, in the process of actual experience, the author discovered that Nuby From time to time, sub-V18 will appear to run out of focus, this situation is mostly a matter of software optimization.

At night and in dimly lit scenes, the quality of the Nubian V18 proofs is also plausible. Although the entire picture is dark, it is also within the scope of the author's acceptance, that is, the shutter speed is really a little pit. During the shooting process, the author Need to take a deep breath in order to take the above proofs. But in turn think about it, after all, the Nubian V18 is a thousand or so products, to have such imaging performance is already very good.

After the experience, the author believes that the Nubian V18 can meet most of the usage scenarios in terms of photographing. In addition to some of the deficiencies mentioned in the article, some of them are hardware limitations that cannot be solved, while others are software-based optimizations. The problem can be solved through system upgrade. Overall it is still good.

Nubia V18 system part:

On the system side, the Nubian V18 is equipped with a customized nubia UI5.1. In terms of overall design, this UI inherits the overall style of nubia UI. The actual perception is still very good. Some common features of this set of UI. The author will not elaborate too much. In this part of the system, the author mainly elaborates on the integration of face recognition and the two important new features of calf voice in the Nubian V18.

Face recognition:

Nubia V18 is Nubia's first product to support face recognition, through Precise positioning 106 key points of the face, drawing precise and detailed identification maps, convenient and safe.

After the experience, the author was quite satisfied with the face recognition of this product, especially in terms of unlocking speed. To say a small flaw, at present, the face recognition of this product needs to be activated after lighting the screen. Get more optimization.

Mavericks voice:

As a big feature of the Nubian V18, the Maverick voice combined with AI officially met with you, users You can send voice commands by pressing an independent Mavericks voice button. Through voice real-time commands, users can directly convert voice into text. And support WeChat interface directly send WeChat voice. At the same time, in order to facilitate the user's use, Maverick voice also supports the voice to quickly open applications and other functions.

However, judging from the current experience, Maverick voice still has many places that need improvement, such as more intelligent commands and voice feedback.

Nubian V18 performance section:

The Nubian V18 is equipped with the Snapdragon 625 processor. For detailed information on this processor, I believe many small partners are familiar with it. After all, throughout 2017, Snapdragon 625 is the 'Net Red' product of the Snapdragon 6 series. It uses an 8-core design, 8 A53 cores, and a maximum design frequency of 2.0Ghz. At the same time, the excellent 14nm process has allowed it to have a good energy performance.

On the GPU side, Xiaolong 625 has an Adreno 506 built-in. The performance of the game is also worth watching. In terms of baseband, Xiaolong 625 also has a good foundation. It is equipped with Qualcomm's own X9 baseband, supports mobile, China Unicom, and Telecom. Operator's network service. However, I believe many small partners will also have some doubts. After all, at the beginning of this year, Xiaolong 625's iterative product, Xiaolong 636, has been released, so compared with the Xiaolong 636, Xiaolong 625 is in everyday and games. Is the performance of the "old" or "old"? Here we come to measure.

In the new security Bunny benchmark test, Nubian V18's test score was 82963 points, in line with the actual performance of Xiaolong 625. This score is not eye-catching in the current type of thousand Yuan machine, but must be ranked , Xiaolong 625's performance can still be ranked in the upper level.

Game test:

For many young people, the machine's game performance is also the focus of their attention, the following author will give you a test about the game performance of Nubian V18.

From the game's actual measurement, we can see that the actual gaming performance of the Nubian V18 is still remarkable. In the test of King's glory, although it can't reach the 'full blood' state of 60 frames, the number of frames can be maintained at More than 40 frames, compared to other products of the same class is still plausible. And in the recent fierce Jedi survival and collapse of three games, Nubian V18 can maintain a stable range of frames. In simple terms, for The current mainstream online game, Nubian V18 can still meet the basic needs.

Nubian V18 life part:

At the conference, Ni also gave us some highlights of this product's performance in battery life. The first is the battery capacity, which has a 4000mAh large-capacity lithium battery built-in. The second is in software, which uses Nuby. Asia's own NeoPower power saving program has effectively improved the unit's battery life. For this purpose, the author specifically conducted a battery life test.

Judging from the test results, Nubian V18's endurance is indeed more eye-catching, especially in the game and video play two tests, Nubian consumed only 13% of the electricity in a total of two hours of testing. Here To give you a comparison of data, under the same conditions, the author used a Nubian Z11miniS (battery capacity of 3000mAh) that also used the Xiaolong 625 processor for testing. In a two-hour game and video playback test, Nunu The Zia Z11miniS consumes 27% of its electricity. It can be said that the advantages of large batteries are obvious.

Full text summary:

Nubia V18 is Nubia's first product with a starting price of less than 1499 yuan. On the whole, as the first Nubian-oriented product for the thousand-dollar market, Nubian V18 feels good to the author. There is no doubt that Nubian V18 still has a comparison with other friends of the same class of products. The power of war.

but , For the present Nubia, its biggest deficiency is not with the product itself, but with a single user structure with the brand coverage and the brand itself is not well-known. As a Nubian senior cowboy, The author wanted to give Nubia some suggestions. In the following days, he must not only do a good job of the product, but also need a lot of effort in brand marketing. Especially in today's mobile phone industry, the quick reshuffle of the mobile phone industry will eventually be able to stay. Are some brands and products that impress users. Therefore, we hope that Nubia can make more efforts in brand marketing, so that more users can understand the brand Nubia.
