Appearance design
On the positive side, the style of Glory 3 Outdoor has not changed much from the previous two generations, and it is quite similar to Ascend D2 ▼
Due to the removable rear cover and battery of Glory 3 Outdoor, plus the waterproof design, the body thickness reaches 9.9mm. Although it is much thicker than the popular thin and light mobile phones, it is still acceptable.
The screen of Glory 3 Outdoor uses IPS, In Cell and other mainstream technologies. The 4.7 inch 1280 * 720 configuration is also mainstream, and the screen display effect is outstanding ▼
Unlike D2, P2 and other mobile phones, Glory 3 Outdoor has three touch keys: return, home and menu key ▼
The back is also very similar to Ascend D2, but the positions of speakers and fill lights are changed ▼
Because it is a cost-effective model, the frame of Glory 3 Outdoor is not made of metal. On the right side of the fuselage are the switch key and the volume key ▼
The top is a microUSB and infrared sensor, and the shape of the infrared sensor is much more exaggerated than that of ordinary mobile phones. The microUSB port is not equipped with a waterproof cover, but actually it has a waterproof function ▼
The bottom is a microphone and a 3.5mm headphone jack, of which the headphone jack has a waterproof cover ▼
The back cover is removable, and the microSIM and TF card slots ▼ can be seen after removing it
After disassembly, it is obvious that there is a waterproof rubber ring design on the back cover, which can prevent the battery compartment, card slot, etc. from entering water ▼
The battery capacity is 2230mAh, detachable ▼
System UI
Like Ascend P6, Glory 3 Outdoor also uses the latest Emotion UI 1.6 ▼
Initiator management ▼
Initiator supports switching of various themes ▼
System information: quad core K3V2 1.5G, RAM 2G, storage space 8G (supporting 32G tf expansion), Emotion UI 1.6 ▼
The dropdown bar of the Emotion UI is easy to use and supports customization. The shortcut interface also changes from black to light gray in Emotion UI 1.5, which is more beautiful ▼
The setting interface is divided into general settings and all settings ▼
In general, the system settings are not very different from other Android phones, but special settings such as color temperature adjustment and auto start management are added ▼
Emotion UI1.6 also optimizes the security of users. For example, self startup management and system notification panel push notifications provide settings. At the same time, it provides the power saving management function, which can not only monitor the background power consumption program, so as to control the abnormal heating of mobile phones to a certain extent ▼
Dialing and SMS interfaces are not very different from the emotion UI 1.5 style ▼
performance
Glory 3 Outdoor uses Huawei HiSilicon K3V2 processor, the frequency is 1.5GHz, the process is 40nm, and the GPU is GC4000.
The available RAM on boot is 1.3G, which is surprising. Generally, the available RAM of 2G Ram mobile phones is 1G or less, which proves that emotion UI 1.6 is unique in terms of RAM occupation ▼
The available ROM of the system is 4.8G ▼
Here are some conventional theoretical runs

In the web page Javascript test to measure CPU single core performance, Glory 3 Outdoor scored 1148ms ▼
Game performance
We tested the performance of Glory 3 Outdoor by using large games+FPS Meter.
Modern Warfare 4
The average number of frames is 25, and the special effect is not high, which can basically ensure smooth operation ▼
Wild Speed Racing 8
The average frame number is 28, and the smoothness is high, but the Glory 3 Outdoor cannot enable the medium and high special effects in the game settings. This is the frame number ▼ under the low special effects
Video decoding
With the increasing size of mobile phone screen, more and more users use mobile phones to watch high-definition videos. Here we also use some high-definition videos to test the video decoding ability of Glory 3 Outdoor.

The test results are as follows ▼
From the test of some mainstream video formats, the hardware decoding ability of Glory 3 Outdoor is satisfactory. Unfortunately, the 720P flv and 1080P MP4 used in the test cannot be hard understood, but this video decoding ability can meet the requirements of most people.
photograph
Glory 3 Outdoor uses a 13 megapixel stack camera with an aperture of F2.2. Sony's stack camera is also a common configuration for high-end mobile phones. Let's take a look at the photos taken by Glory 3 Outdoor.
From the photographing interface, the setting menu of Glory 3 is in the lower left corner, and different scenes such as intelligence, skin beauty and HDR can be selected ▼
Daylight imaging, good details, noise control needs to be enhanced ▼
Indoor imaging ▼
The noise is serious in dark light, which is also a common problem of many 13 million stack cameras.
HDR imaging comparison, automatic mode ▼
The dark details have been greatly improved after HDR is turned on.
From P6, A199, Mate and other mobile phones, we have already experienced Huawei's ability in macro. This time, Glory 3 Outdoor still shows great strength in macro. ▼
Features
waterproof
Glory 3 Outdoor meets the waterproof and dust-proof standard of IP57, and the "5" and "7" represent respectively preventing harmful dust accumulation and soaking in water in a short time (1m). The following is some information about the IP (International Protection) standard (cut from Wikipedia).
It can be seen that the word "7" in the second figure means that the equipment can be immersed in 1m water depth for 30 minutes, which also makes Glory 3 Outdoor harmless even if it falls into the water in daily life.
When we open the back cover after soaking in water, we can clearly see that places outside the waterproof ring, including cameras and speakers, will enter the water. Of course, these parts have corresponding waterproof measures, and will not cause damage to parts. There is no water ingress in the waterproof rubber ring ▼
In addition, Glory 3 Outdoor also supports wet hand operation. Generally, the capacitive screen can not be touched in wet water. The touch screen of Glory 3 Outdoor is optimized in this regard, so it can be touched even in wet water. ▼
remote control
Infrared remote control was strongly "returned" to mobile phones in 2013. In the past, we often saw some products with infrared sensors during the period of functional phones, but now this function reappears on many high-end smart phones. Glory 3 Outdoor also adds an infrared sensor, which is rare among mobile phones at the same price.
It comes with an intelligent remote control application. After opening it, we can pair household appliances, including TV, DVD, air conditioner, SLR, etc., which can be controlled through infrared remote control ▼
Here we also match the air conditioner, which can be controlled normally ▼
Control TV ▼
When we cannot pair with our own smart remote control application, we can also download some third-party remote control applications, such as remote control wizard.
Endurance
During the endurance test, we kept the screen brightness at 60% and the volume at 3/7.
Half an hour of large-scale games, 15% power consumption.
Half an hour of high-definition video playback, 9% power consumption.
Wifi access for half an hour consumes 8% power.
The high intensity test lasted for one and a half hours, and the total power consumption was 32%. This performance is good for 2230mAh batteries.
temperature
When running a large game, the maximum temperature of the front side of Glory 3 outlet is 42 ℃, and the back side is 39 ℃ (room temperature is 27 ℃). The heating performance is good ▼
summary
Glory 3 Outdoor is a mobile phone that focuses on cost performance. It is not easy to achieve the price of 1888 while maintaining the same configuration of your high-end products. In terms of overall configuration, Glory 3 Outdoor also belongs to the mainstream. The 4.7 inch 720P screen may be more suitable for some users who are eager for a better one handed operation experience than the 5 inch or more full HD screen. The quad core 1.5G, 2G Ram and 13 million pixel stack camera are also the configuration of high-end mobile phones. Although Emotion UI 1.6 has no major innovation compared with 1.5, its performance in all aspects is commendable. The waterproof and infrared features of Glory 3 Outdoor are two selling points, which are rare among mobile phones at the same price. The disadvantage of Glory 3 Outdoor is that its processing performance is slightly weak. Of course, if it is a user with low requirements for games, its daily use is still enough to meet the requirements. In terms of photographing performance, Glory 3 Outdoor uses an excellent sensor, which is still unique in macro shooting, while noise control in dim light shooting needs to be strengthened.
