The war of 1000 yuan machines has been in full swing. With the boom of 4G network, many manufacturers have upgraded their own machines. Huawei Glory 3C 4G version was born under this premise. The 3C 4G version of Huawei Glory uses a new processor. There are also slight changes in the appearance design, and the system software has also been improved. Is there any improvement in the actual experience?

The front design of Huawei Glory 3C 4G is unchanged from that of Glory 3C. The 3C 4G version of Huawei uses a 5-inch black waterfall screen with full fitting process and LTPS technology. The overall effect is quite good when the screen is turned off.

The earpiece on the top has a certain sense of design, which makes the front less monotonous.

Huawei Glory 3C 4G version uses physical touch keys. Unfortunately, there is no backlight. You need to pay attention to night use.

The front frame of Huawei Glory 3C 4G version has some protrusions, which can be placed on the desktop to avoid screen contact and wear.

The back of Huawei Glory 3C 4G Edition uses the leather texture shell of Glory Play Edition. Among the thousands of yuan, it is of high hand feel, and the overall plastic feel is acceptable.

The rear camera of Huawei Glory 3C 4G version is Sony's 8 megapixel, with F/2.0 aperture, and equipped with flash. The camera is prominent, so attention should be paid when using it.

Huawei Glory 3C 4G version is designed with replaceable battery, and the capacity of long strip battery is 2300mAh. Huawei Glory 3C 4G version is designed for a single SIM card and supports GSM/TD-SCDMA/TDD-LTE, which means that China Mobile has 2G/3G/4G. Huawei Glory 3C 4G Edition also supports the expansion of 32G storage cards.

The 3C 4G version of Huawei Glory uses a 5-inch screen with an overall circumference of 139.5 * 71.4 * 9.2mm. It is small and can operate most of the screen area with one hand. At the same time, its weight is 145g, and it is not easy to fatigue after holding for a long time.

System UI:

Huawei Glory 3C 4G still uses its own Emotion UI, but compared with the previous 2.0 based on Android 4.2.2, 2.3 based on Android 4.4.2 has improved a lot in functional design. Emotion UI 2.3 gives me the feeling that it has improved the function and interface design, and it does not have too many "national conditions" functions, which I appreciate.

Emotion UI 2.3 has added a new magazine cover unlock, which allows you to customize different types of cover photos individually, or close them. At the same time, there are 4 shortcut switches on the unlock interface, but it is a pity that you can't customize the order and other personalized settings. Although the unlocking interface is beautiful, it is judged that there are some problems in unlocking. According to my previous usage habits, it is easy to turn it into a shortcut switch when unlocking.

Emotion UI 2.3 is still a popular desktop free design in China, and has not changed much from the previous version in terms of interface layout and functions. You can still add widgets and adjust switching effects.

Compared with the previous Emotion UI, which gives people a more business old-fashioned feeling, the official theme provided by Emotion UI 2.3, whether it is the default theme or the theme store, is more lively and beautiful. In terms of aesthetics, it will not jump out of the level of normal people. At the same time, it can also customize mixed themes.

The drop-down list still has a shortcut switch, and you can set the order quantity and other user-defined settings at the same time.

The Emotion UI 2.3 has so many settings that the entire three screens cannot fit. Fortunately. The function classification logic of Emotion UI 2.3 is relatively complete, so it is easy to know which category you want to set. However, too many setting items can easily make people unable to start.

The biggest upgrade of Glory 3C 4G version lies in 4G network support, but there is no pure 2G option, which is not flexible enough in some cases. At the same time, it also has a small function of "mobile data connection switching prompt", which will remind you after disconnecting WiFi to avoid misoperation.

What is more interesting under the display category is "color temperature adjustment" and "readability improvement in the sun". What is more interesting is that Emotion UI 2.3 adds the "font style" function, which is convenient for font replacement. I prefer this function.

A "K Song Reverb" function has been added to the sound classification, which means mixing sounds to achieve better recording results. This function is quite interesting. Previously, there were similar functions in other brands of mobile phones, so you can consider the heavy use of this application.

It is still a very powerful power saving management. The three default modes are enough, but it seems that I cannot turn off power saving. Among them, you can also view the background power consumption applications, which can be accurate mAh, which is a very interesting function.

It is still the standard configuration of various rights management, notification management, and startup auto start items. Basically, we can say goodbye to various mobile phone butlers.

Compared with the previous Emotion UI 2.3, many gesture control functions have been added, such as screen sliding and double click unlocking. Personally, I think double click unlocking is a very practical function, while sliding is a bit superfluous. Emotion UI 2.3 can be divided into four types of sliding: up, down, left, right, and the function realized can basically be considered as a shortcut switch. Unfortunately, due to optimization or identification problems, the misoperation is obvious during operation, and the feedback time is also long, so the use experience is average.

Emotion UI 2.3 has some built-in applications. Proper use can improve the overall use experience. The file manager can be bound to the network disk, which is basically equivalent to unlimited expansion of storage space. Of course, this is under network conditions. In addition to the previous functions of various permissions, background and self startup, the mobile phone butler of his own has also added functions such as space cleaning and background acceleration.

Emotion UI 2.3 still has the "simple desktop" function, that is, some main functions are displayed with larger square icons, which is convenient for people with low vision or special requirements. However, the simple desktop is still just an interface optimization design. After you click to enter the corresponding function, it is not optimized. Common functions such as dialing, messaging, and contacts have not been optimized, and this simple desktop has become a chicken bone.

Although Emotion UI 2.3 does not have many cool functions like other domestic OS/ROM, it is more like a repair update than previous versions. However, compared with the previous version, Emotion UI 2.3 is enough for me to like the new features and the more lively and youthful design style.

Performance cooling:

Huawei Glory 3C 4G version uses the same HiSilicon Kirin 910 as Huawei Glory X1. HiSilicon Kirin 910 uses the Cortex A9 architecture with 28nm HPM process. It has four cores, the highest frequency is 1.6GHz, and the GPU is Mali-450 MP4. In the theoretical running stages, Kirin 910 is at the same level as Snapdragon 400 and MT6592.

Note: There are two versions of Huawei Glory 3C 4G. The RAM is 1G and 2G respectively. This evaluation uses 2G version.

Previously, it was mentioned in the Huawei Glory X1 evaluation that the daily operation of the system is basically smooth, but the list folder has a distinct sense of stuttering, largely due to system optimization and the weak performance of the Kirin 910 under 1080P. The frame number of Huawei Glory 3C 4G version in Wild Racing 8 is 22 fps, which is much smoother than the 16 fps of Huawei Glory X1. At the same time, the phenomenon of stuck frames no longer exists. Personally, I think there is no pressure to use Kirin 910 under 720P, but it is still to be discussed under 1080P.

After 15 minutes of wild drag racing 8, the maximum temperature is about 34 ° C, which is quite good. It has to be said that the Kirin 910 is a good choice and balance for its performance and heating in 720P resolution. At 720P resolution, the performance of Kirin 910 is smooth enough to operate in large games, and the endurance and heat will also have a good result.

Before that, I thought that Huawei Glory 3C 4G version would use Qualcomm processors, because currently, Qualcomm processors are basically the ones that support 4G networks in the market. The Snapdragon 400 used in the 4G 1000 yuan level is slightly weak in performance, while the Kirin 910 used in the Huawei Glory 3C 4G version performs well. Of course, the 4G support really surprised me. The above picture shows the indoor mobile 4G network speed measurement in Nanshan, Shenzhen.

Shooting ability:

The 3C 4G version of Huawei Glory uses a combination of 5 million pixels in the front and 8 million pixels in the rear. There is no special change in the shooting interface. It is still a variety of setting items and scene modes. Compared with the various fancy functions of the current domestic ROM/OS, Huawei seems to be much more practical. As for ease of use, there are different opinions.

Huawei Glory 3C 4G version has two more hidden functions. One is to press and hold to enter the focusing and metering separation. This function is quite useful in the face of more complex scenes, but it is really difficult to find such a deep hiding. The other is AirSharing, which is to transmit photos and videos through the Bluetooth function. You can activate this function by pulling up in the view picture.

As the 3C 4G version of Huawei Glory is used in the evaluation, the performance in system optimization and software is not ideal. The shooting link is only for reference. The 3C 4G version of Huawei Glory uses a rear 8 megapixel camera, and the hardware configuration has become the mainstream of the 1000 yuan computer. However, due to the engineering machine, the performance in the shooting process was poor. The engineering machine is prone to white balance drift and multiple adjustments during use, and the white and detail smearing are also obvious.

It is still possible that due to the engineering machine, the night proof of Huawei Glory 3C 4G version is also white. However, the white balance is very accurate. I don't know whether to be grateful or sad.

The front camera of Huawei Glory 3C 4G version is 5 million pixels, of course, it also has the beauty function that girls like. My sister said that the actual sample was good and very pleasing.

summary

The 3C 4G version of Huawei Glory makes me feel more like a hybrid model than a pure upgrade model. In terms of software, although the Emotion UI version number has reached 2.3, in addition to many new functions, the UI design style is relatively lively, but the overall strength is still inferior to other domestic manufacturers. However, compared with the previous version, I like Emotion UI 2.3 a lot.

In terms of appearance, the design of Huawei Glory 3C is still continued, but the back cover adopts the design of Glory Play, which improves the overall design. Although the design of double card is changed to single card, it may be a little regrettable. But supporting 4G network and stronger hardware configuration are undoubtedly more popular. There are two versions of Huawei 3C 4G. The price is 998 and 1298 respectively. Considering its performance and network support, Huawei 3C 4G is undoubtedly your first choice among the current 4G 1000 yuan machines.
