Fenghua 2 is an upgraded version of the previous generation of Fenghua, and also the first release of the MT6589 quad core of MediaTek. As a sequel with very high sales in the second and third tier cities and very good response in the traditional market, Jinli naturally injected a lot of effort into it. The end of the year has come, and Fenghua 2 is also Jinli's new year celebration. As a mobile phone deeply customized with the operator, whether Fenghua 2 can win the market again, let me accompany you to see this media machine just brought from the press conference.
Appearance design:
The style of the box is unique. The charcoal gray package and the belt with landscape patterns make the package particularly exquisite.
The way to open the package is a bit like Meizu's MX series, and the flip design is very novel. However, the area of the box is much larger than Meizu's.
There are all kinds of accessories in it. The standard earphones are earphones, and all the accessories are white. According to the staff of Fenghua 2, when the product capacity can keep up, the white version will be launched. The author also prefers white.
You are not mistaken. Fenghua 2 also gave a screen film as a gift, which saved the cost and trouble of film pasting. There are two manuals of Unicom in the attached product manual, which also shows that Fenghua 2 was launched in cooperation with Unicom for in-depth customization.
On the first screen of power on, you can see the elegant logo, and the color style of the font is quite chivalrous.
The design of the earpiece is a bit like that of the Xiaomi mobile phone, which is very simple, but the performance of Style 2 in volume is superior. The front camera of Fenghua 2 is one million yuan, which is a wonderful level.
There are three touch buttons at the bottom. The backlight is very bright, and it looks very eye-catching when it is lit. The call MIC is in the gap between the frame and the front panel.
There is no design element on the left side of the fuselage. The thickness of Fenghua 2 is 9.6 mm, so the fuselage thickness is very well controlled.
In fact, the overall design of Fenghua 2 is still a bit public, and there is no particularly attractive highlight.
On the right side are the volume key and power key. The key range is a little short, and the touch can only be described as average. Especially in blind operation, it is easy to press mistakenly or empty.
There is no design element at the bottom, which is very clean. The position of the lower right corner is the nail fulcrum for opening the rear shell.
The micro USB data cable interface and 3.5MM headphone hole are arranged on the top of the phone.
The material on the back of the phone is very comfortable to touch. It is soft, which can prevent slipping and is not easy to get fingerprints.
The camera is a convex design, and there is an LED flash next to it. Personally, I think the flash is too close to the camera,.
Below are speakers and Jinli's logo. The volume of the earpiece is very high, but the sound quality is only average.
Fenghua 2 takes a simple route in appearance design, and there are no highlights in technology and materials. However, the product manager of Fenghua 2 also said that the expected sales volume of Fenghua 2 would be very good. If the technology and materials are too particular, it will definitely affect the production capacity. Therefore, in order to take care of the production capacity, the mobile phone can only use relatively conservative technology and materials, This also explains why the capacity of MX2 has not kept up.
Screen performance:
Fenghua 2 is equipped with a 4.5 inch QHD (960 * 540) level screen, which uses IPS hard screen technology, and can not only achieve 178 ° of ultra wide viewing angle, but also have excellent color performance.
Although the PPI is not high, the detailed performance of this screen as a key cost-effective mobile phone is commendable. The screen also performs well in color, without color deviation.
Visual angle is one of the advantages of IPS screen. The screen of Fenghua 2 has the same problem as the LG P880, that is, the visual angle of the diagonal position is poorer.
However, the screen performance of Zhengke Visual Angle Fenghua 2 is very good, even from a very extreme angle.
System UI:
Fenghua adopts the Android 4.1 system, and the UI has also been customized. However, I think that Fenghua 2 is a little rough in UI design. It's not my food.
Because it is a product of deep cooperation with China Unicom, the system has many built-in applications of China Unicom, such as Wo store, mobile phone business hall, etc.
The desktop parts are also very complete, some of which are developed by Jinli Company itself, but these small parts are rough in both functionality and aesthetics.
In fact, the UI customization of Fenghua 2 is not deep, and the shadow of the original system can be seen in many places, but Jinli has made changes in style and color.
Hardware score:
Fenghua 2 adopts the MT6589 quad core processor of MediaTek, with the main frequency of 1.2GHz. The Cortex-A7 architecture will be better in terms of power consumption, and the performance of the integrated Power VR SGX544MP graphics chip in games will also be improved.
The score is about 10000, and the score is not outstanding. However, the author can run to 13000 when testing at the press conference, which is close to HiSilicon K3V2 in performance. However, the MT6589 integrated Power VR SGX544MP graphics chip is much better than HiSilicon in game compatibility.
camera:
Fenghua 2 uses 8 megapixel back illuminated BSI sensor with f/2.2 aperture, and supports 1080p video capture., See the sample sheet for imaging quality.
Endurance:
Both the Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A7 architectures have outstanding performance in power consumption, and the battery capacity of 2100 mA is also relatively abundant. Therefore, Fenghua 2's endurance performance is in the middle and upper reaches of the Android camp, and it is no problem to use it moderately for one and a half days. Of course, if you are a game party, you'd better prepare an extra battery.
Summary:
Neither Jinli nor MediaTek has done enough promotion on new media, which also explains why newspapers and magazines were in the majority when I attended the conference. In fact, Fenghua's sales volume in traditional channels has always been very good, more than 2 million sales volume is not a small number, but in the mobile phone circle of the Internet, we rarely talk about the brand Jinli. Sometimes, this disconnection between new and old media really makes us shudder. Finally, I would like to say that we should pay more attention to the domestic mobile phones, and lose your mentality that you have to buckle a fake mobile phone if you use MediaTek chips. Although domestic mobile phones are not as good as big brands, they are far from as bad as you think.
