Although Samsung is still a big leader in the international smartphone market, it has to be acknowledged that in the Chinese market, Samsung's watch is soft and weak, and many mobile phones including the flagship are not expected to reach Samsung. My own expectations.
As a company that has always been forward-looking and crisis-conscious, of course, it will not ignore such a crisis because of the current lead. From the recent Galaxy S light luxury version and A9 Star two new machines, Samsung itself is also making Different adjustments to adapt to the current market situation.
We have already got the evaluation machine for the above two mobile phones. Today we will bring you the relevant content of A9 Star. As for the Galaxy S light luxury version, we will bring you experience as soon as possible after more practical use. share it.
Not so Samsung look
Appearance A9 Star is quite unique among Samsung's mobile phones. Unlike the general Samsung mobile phone, it gives people a soft and refined feeling. A9 Star gives people a clear feeling that the lines are tougher. Because of the relationship between positioning and price, A9 Star It does not use the curved screen of Samsung's signature, but as a mid-to-high-end model of Samsung, the Super AMOLED screen used by A9 Star is still good, and the screen color display also supports higher custom settings.
The level of border control should still be a good level last year, but it is very common in this year's bangs screen or ultra-narrow bezel. The screen surface is covered with 2.5D glass, but the arc is small, the screen and The height of the plastic buffer between the middle frames will slightly exceed the reduced edge of the 2.5D screen, but it will be slightly lower than the main part of the glass cover, which will cause the finger to slip slightly to the edge, but it will feel slightly scratched, but beyond The part can't protect the screen when it falls, it's a little embarrassing.
As for the back cover, as far as the hand is concerned, the components are mostly concentrated on the top, and the grip portion has no convexity that affects the hand feeling, and the larger curvature at the edge is still quite good to hold. However, if the look and feel, this upper left The double-shot and the extremely high-resolution fingerprint recognition buttons on the corners are very not Samsung. The small series is measured. If you do not adjust the holding posture, it is difficult to touch the fingerprint on the index finger. It is difficult to be in the same In the holding position, both the index finger touch fingerprint recognition and the thumb touch navigation button.
The brightest elf in the system - Bixby
Although various mobile phone manufacturers are now doing voice assistants and AI functions, the level between them is different. This gap is manifested in all aspects of voice assistants. The simplest, some voice assistants open their mouths. The blunt and awkward voice will make you give up all the expectations of it. In this respect, Samsung's Bixby and Xiaomi's little love classmates are the most natural among the many voice assistants that Xiaobian has experienced.
Bixby is mainly divided into two parts: visual and auditory. The hearing is the familiar Bixby voice assistant, while the visual part involves more AI mapping and expansion.
Bixby vision includes extracting and translating text, searching for similar objects, image search shopping, location, wine label information, QR code recognition and search questions, among which the most commonly used are translation, mapping and shopping, and the actual The performance is very good.
PS. This function is positively related to the AI processing power of the processor. The performance of the Snapdragon 660 is already good, and the W2018 and Galaxy S9 models are faster when they are recognized. Friends who have already started the above models, It is really highly recommended to experience it.
As for the Bixby voice part, I believe that everyone has used the voice assistant more or less now, and will not explain too much detail, direct animation demonstration.
Need to explain here, the above is not a small custom-made shortcut operation, but the full function of Bixby itself, you can see, a sentence command development, from opening Weibo to selecting screenshots, then to @三星电子, in addition to more In the @object, the manual selection was made, and the whole process of the small editor did not touch the phone.
With the custom, you can achieve more complex combination operations, such as the small custom-made home command, not only can open the map navigation, turn the volume and brightness up, put some suitable music, you can also give My mom said, go home and eat hot meals.
This kind of deep operation comes from the different voice assistant development ideas of Samsung and most manufacturers. Many manufacturers' voice assistants just translate the voice directly into the APP understanding operation, and then the rest are thrown to the relevant APP to understand, but Bixby is more similar to a real housekeeper. He understands your intentions and directly operates the app. Although in some cases the two methods achieve similar results, Bixby has more in the face of some complicated or deep operations. Strong maneuverability.
There is a slight shortage in the configuration mainstream
The A9 Star still uses the traditional god U-Dragon 660. It has good performance in both power consumption and performance. It has the strength to control the king's glory and the balanced image quality.
Running scores can be used as a general reference, Ann Bunny runs 14W, Geekbench single core 1620, multi-core 5917, which belongs to the ordinary Snapdragon 660. It is better, of course, this is within the normal fluctuation range.
Memory, 4GB+64GB, this is Samsung's consistent style, it is a pity that there is no 6GB RAM, because although the 4GB memory is basically sufficient in the market under the jurisdiction of Google, but in the special environment of the country, various cancers and the whole family Bucket blessing, 6GB RAM is still quite necessary. Of course, there are also various methods such as black domain can help, but for most users, in fact, they are still used by mobile phones, there will be no corresponding The management and optimization awareness, 3000 mobile phones can not meet their requirements, how much can not be said.
For the camera, the A9 Star uses a 2400W+1600W pixel rear dual camera and a 2400W pixel front camera. When the light is sufficient, the 1600W pixel camera is turned on. In the low light environment, the 2400W pixel camera turns on the four pixels. Technology, to ensure sufficient amount of light, coupled with Samsung's consistently good camera performance, we are still very much looking forward to the actual photos.
Consistently strong photo taking
Although the paper parameters look good, but in terms of taking pictures, we still need our own eyes to actually receive the goods, and then simply look at a few proofs.
ISO-64 1/100s f/1.7
ISO-50 1/100s f/1.7
ISO-125 1/33s f/1.7
ISO-64 1/100s f/1.7
ISO-40 1/274s f/1.7
As you can see from the proofs, the color performance is a long term of the A9 Star. Whether it is a well-lit environment or a low-light environment, thanks to the excellent white balance and ISOCELL's advantage in preventing light interference between pixels. The color of the proofs is very beautiful, and the picture is pure, even in low light environment, the noise control in the gray area is excellent. However, in terms of dynamic range, A9 Star has a certain weakness, you can see the third proof. In the middle part of the billboard, there has been a high light overflow, and the highlight area of the fifth sample trunk has also appeared to be overexposed.
The imaginary proofs also have the advantages and disadvantages of coexistence. The advantage is that the background blur transition is natural. It doesn't make people feel that they are disguised by algorithmic blur, but Spider-Man's eyes and background-approximate color parts appear. A certain problem, the white eyes and the background piece have been blurred.
A very new machine, but the highlights are the same as regrets.
In general, A9 Star expressed the intention of Samsung's transformation. From the spokesperson's choice of younger and more fashionable Huachenyu, to the promotion of some selling functions of mobile phones, even the design of mobile phones has made a big difference. Change, everywhere reflects Samsung wants to embrace users more closely in the Chinese market, but have to say that sincerity is still relatively limited.
There is no oleophobic layer on the back cover glass, and all the fingerprints are fingerprints. The fingerprint recognition position is too high, the metal middle frame with insufficient texture and the non-smoothness between the front and back glass are difficult to reflect. 3,000 yuan mobile phone, to know this price, the texture of many domestic mobile phones has been quite good, and those international companies with higher pricing have gradually faded out of the Chinese market. In contrast, inheriting the appearance and texture of S8 Galaxy S light luxury version, the price of 2999 during the 618 period is more worth buying.
The biggest highlight of the whole machine is the performance of the camera and the more powerful Bixby, which is also the common advantage of the big manufacturers. All the machines use the same system, except for some custom or performance-critical functions. The rest of the high-end development, the low-end can also enjoy the benefits, for users who just want to fully experience the Samsung mobile phone, no need to directly on the flagship, may be a good choice.
Although Samsung is still a big leader in the international smartphone market, it has to be acknowledged that in the Chinese market, Samsung's watch is soft and weak, and many mobile phones including the flagship are not expected to reach Samsung. My own expectations.
As a company that has always been forward-looking and crisis-conscious, of course, it will not ignore such a crisis because of the current lead.
