Konka W970 is the second generation product in the color field, and also a flagship product of Konka Group that has begun to take an international route. The W970 uses a dual core processor with 1GHz main frequency and is equipped with a 4.5 inch full view IPS screen, which supports GSM dual card dual standby and is compatible with Unicom WCDMA 3G network. The camera with 2 million pixels in front and 8 million pixels in rear is also a major selling point of the phone.

Design:

When I just got the W970, my first impression was that it was very similar to the i9000, a very classic model of Samsung before. The workmanship and materials were very good. From the appearance, it was no less than Samsung.

The three dimensions of the body are 130.2mm × 66.8mm × 10mm, and the size is well controlled. The 130g weight will not feel too light or heavy when held in the hand. The screen is 4.5 inches, which is not small. However, Konka makes the phone very comfortable to hold in the hand after ingenious handling of the corners.

On the right side of the earpiece is a 2 million pixel front camera and the corresponding sensor. The logo is under the earpiece. The whole earpiece is narrow, so the overall layout is relatively compact.

There are three touch buttons on the chin. When the screen is lit, there is a backlight on the button. The touch is very sensitive and there is no delay.

The left side of the fuselage is the volume key, and the key cap is relatively short, which is a little inconvenient for blind operation.

From here, we can see that the phone has a silver trim, which visually adds a metallic texture. There is only a small groove on the right side, which is convenient for users to open the back cover.

The top is the power key and 3.5MM headphone hole. The power key feels very good. The headphone hole also has a silver collar. The W970 is quite good in details.

The bottom is a micro usb interface and a call microphone

On the back, the W970 still shows Konka's excellent modeling skills, such as earpiece details and camera protruding arcs, which can be seen from the reflective effect.

Screen:

The performance of the mobile phone screen is also an advantage of the W970. Since it is a "color ring", the performance of the screen in color will be better. The W970 uses a 4.5 inch IPS screen, which performs well in color saturation.

The screen resolution is at the level of qHD, so the fineness is not out of date with the mobile phones at this price. The control of photo details is quite good. However, the visual angle is a little insufficient. Once the angle of view is tilted too large, the brightness and contrast will decline significantly.

System:

W970 adopts Android 4.0 system and runs Konka's unique MUSE UI, so it will be better than the original in humanization.

The unlock interface has four shortcuts, through which you can quickly launch the corresponding application. There are five screens on the desktop, which cannot be increased or decreased, but it is enough to meet daily needs. The four functions of the DOCK column can be customized. Here you can replace it with your own common software.

Many functions have been added to the notice bar. A row of shortcut function keys have been added at the top to facilitate the user to quickly turn on or off some functions. Because the phone is dual card and dual standby, the notice bar also displays the status of the SIM card.

As with native Android 4.0, the menu is divided into two categories, one is application and the other is desktop parts, where we can manage these software. However, W970 has another function that native 4.0 does not have. It is to hide applications. Users can hide some applications involving privacy, which is quite convenient.

The setting options are basically unchanged, so I won't repeat them here. You can also study them yourself if you buy them back. The overall performance of the MUSE UI is good. There is no obvious bug in the use of the two days, and the smoothness of the UI is also very good. The operation is very sticky.

Hardware and score:

Konka W970 will still use the same MTK6577 dual core processor as W960, with a 40nm process, 1GHz main frequency and 512mb RAM. To be honest, I personally feel a little tight in terms of storage. After all, Android is quite loaded with storage. You can see the screenshot of the performance in terms of score running.

Although the performance is not very outstanding, it is ideal for a dual core processor, and the performance of graphics is also OK. The credit is due to the PowerVR SGX531 overclocking GPU. The slightly lower performance may be the operation performance, which does not exceed 1000. It is a little pity, After all, Android is very clear about the storage performance in daily use.

camera:

Konka W970 uses an 8 megapixel camera with an LED flash light, which is convenient for users to take photos at night.

The first is the optimization of the photography application. Konka really did a good job. The orange background has further improved the outdoor display effect, and the switching speed between settings is also very fast. The slight deficiency is that the focusing speed is sometimes inaccurate when taking photos, and occasionally there is failure. Then the camera interface cannot be displayed in full screen, Almost one-third of the screen area is wasted.

But it is worth affirming that the camera imaging quality is good, and the sharpness and color saturation are quite good.

Endurance:

In fact, MediaTek still has some technical accumulation in power management, so it will not be out of date in terms of endurance. The W960 battery capacity is 1750 mA, although it is not a large capacity, it can easily meet the requirements of more than one day's endurance in my daily use, which is also the advantage of dual core over four core.

Summary:

In general, the W970 has significantly improved compared with the W960. The whole mobile phone has done a good job in configuration and system optimization. If you have a limited budget and want to get dual cards and dual standby while taking into account the camera and screen, the W960 is a mobile phone worth recommending. Of course, if girls like this mobile phone, they need not worry about the dull black color, Because this mobile phone will also launch a white version, you can pay attention to it if you like.
