By the new year, Huawei Glory 3X has also gone on sale. For this mobile phone, the most eye-catching one is the MT6592 eight core chip of MediaTek. As for the main slogan "true eight cores", it is obviously aimed at the main control mode of Samsung's "4+4" core. In addition, Glory 3X is also a new flagship, but it focuses on high cost performance to compete with other Internet mobile phone brands, and has pioneered the feature function of "blind insertion of dual 3G large and small cards". Both performance and application are really full of expectations.

This article comes from: articles shared by netizen lister in the most digital forum.

From the configuration point of view, Huawei Glory 3X has a series of halos: MT6592 eight core processor, 5.5 inch IPS high-definition screen, 3000mAh lithium polymer battery, 2G RAM/8G ROM, and 1300W/500W camera. It supports DTS sound effects and the new Emotion UI 2.0 system. Is it a special hope!

Part I: Overall Experience of Workmanship Design and Detail Handling The 5.5 inch body of Glory 3X is destined to be not small. Fortunately, the extremely narrow frame makes the whole machine look not stupid. The packaging color of the blue cardboard shell is more pleasing.

The round corner design of Glory 3X makes the square and upright fuselage look rigid. Due to the pre installed film, it looks very generous.

Three physical touch menu keys are used at the bottom of the machine, and the return key is placed on the left side. I like to have the return key on the right side, so that the thumb can easily touch the key in the case of a right hand single handset.

Huawei's large petal logo on the back. The rear cover of Glory 3X is designed in white with vertical stripes and matt. The rear cover of piano baking varnish is of high grade. Because the mirror design is not used, it is not easy to get fingerprints. A SONY 13 million pixel stack camera is placed at the rear. It is said that it contains five pieces of precision lenses and anti fingerprint coating design. It also has an LED fill light beside it, which makes people have a deeper expectation of its photographic effect.

The rear cover of the whole machine is flat in the middle and curved on both sides. It is relatively stable to place it on a flat desktop (it is a small pity that the prominent camera in the middle is a little warped), and the curved sides can fit the palm of the hand more closely. The volume of Glory 3X is very full, and it won't miss answering phones in noisy subway.

Different from various manufacturers' pursuit of impractical "ultra-thin" and "ultra-thin" concepts, Glory 3X still retains the bottom line of ease of use. It has an open back cover, replaceable batteries, dual cards, and TF card expansion. This machine is equipped with 3000mAh super capacity lithium polymer battery as standard, which is enough to provide sufficient power for the 5.5 inch eight core system. With the power saving technology of Huawei Emotion 2.0, it is believed that the endurance will be excellent.

What interests me most is the "dual card hybrid" function. Why do you say that? In the past, the SIM1 card slot was only marked to support 3G networks, while the other slot was marked as "GSM". If you are a card changing user, you will inevitably have to do a variety of tedious operations such as cutting cards or installing card sleeves, which will greatly increase the hidden cost of the replacement. The two slots of Glory 3X are designed for one large card and one small card, and support mobile TD and Unicom WCDMA. When I see this design, I can't help but feel "magic". I have long wanted this function, and the mobile Unicom dual card at hand is more fun.

The whole machine adopts metal edging process, and the strength of the body is guaranteed. The keys are placed on the right side, and the power key is located in the middle, similar to Sony mobile phones. The advantage is that the thumb of the right hand holder can easily reach the position for operation. The metal buttons are not smooth, and there are small horizontal stripes on them. The paragraphs are crisp and feel good, which is satisfactory to me.

Speaking of personal habits, I prefer the top charging port, while the headphone jack is at the bottom.

  Let's talk about the screen again. IPS full view brings an excellent visual experience of brightness visual angle, which can easily see the screen content even in strong light environment.

Part II: Eight core processor quiz

Glory 3X took the lead in adopting the latest MediaTek eight core processor. This MT6592 is based on the world's first commercial mass production synchronous eight core intelligent machine system single chip released by MediaTek in July 2013. MT6592 is composed of 8 Cortex-A7 cores and adopts TSMC 28nm process, with the highest frequency up to 2GHz.

MediaTek MT6592's eight core is an asynchronous running processor, but it is different from Samsung's big The difference of LITTLE architecture is that it can run eight cores at the same time. Through parallel processor technology, it is different from the existing eight core solution on the market that can only run half of the CPU cores at a time. MediaTek's true eight core technology can run all eight cores at the same time. The key to achieving this is the CPU core configuration and software support of the true eight core solution, which can ensure that each processor core can operate independently and flexibly.

The main frequency of this scheme is 0.7-1.7GHz, and Mali-450 MP4 700MHz GPU is integrated. MediaTek officially claims that it can reach up to 2.0GHz, and there will be 2.3GHz high-frequency version in the future. In addition to supporting MPEG4, H.263, H.264, MP3, AAC, APE and other video and audio decoding, and playing all mainstream video and audio files perfectly, it is also easy to play full HD video, leading the way in supporting H.265 decoding. For video with the same definition, the file size is almost half of H.264, and online video playback consumes almost half of the bandwidth.

However, MTK's core competitive advantages are high cost performance, low power consumption and high performance. Compared with the current flagship processing core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and NV Tegra4, the score of Honor 3X close to 28000 is not too strong, but it is also a rare 2.5W+quasi flagship level. In addition, mobile phones running to this score are generally not cheap, and it is rare to directly compete with Honor 3X.

Glory 3X is the new high-end of Huawei Glory series. Therefore, its screen master adopts high-end 10 touch control, with the effect of IPS screen, which can completely kill all kinds of games.

Chapter 3: Emotion UI2.0 Hands on Experience

With strong performance, the compatibility and ease of use of the system cannot keep up. On Glory 3, which was released in the summer, I was impressed by the excellent Emotion UI (EMUI). Excellent fluency and ease of use have left a deep impression.

Baidu Encyclopedia explains that Emotion UI is an intelligent terminal human-computer interaction system developed by Huawei based on Android 4. x, with the core design concept of "simple and easy to use, powerful, and emotional", and the goal of easy discovery, enjoyment, and sharing.

At the whole press conference, we also felt the determination of Glory to operate as an independent brand of Huawei. The change in Emotion UI 2.0 was relatively large. Instead of the block style shortcut icon of Glory 3, it was replaced by the pseudo object style and flat features. It continued to maintain the single level application interface and added colorful and fresh elements, The UI is very round in flattening, and can automatically adapt to third-party software icons. Compared with the past, the overall interface has removed the complex lines on the icons, and the design concept of "simple and easy to use, powerful functions, and emotional love" is somewhat simple and extreme.

On the main interface, the feeling is different from that of Glory 3C. The factory prefabricated desktop of Glory 3X system has a feeling of returning to Glory 3. I don't know whether it is individual feeling difference. The typical pseudo object style UI icons are also very beautiful. There is also a Simple UI mode, which can provide a simple operation interface suitable for both young and old people. It is more like the Windows 8 Metro interface, which is also good for the elderly.

The latest Emotion UI 2.0 system has hundreds of beautiful themes built in, which can be freely matched with consumers' preferences, changing and unique. Online themes and wallpapers are also quite rich.

The setting menu has also been reorganized into "Common Settings" and "All Settings" to facilitate quick operations. While clicking the menu button on the desktop will bring up the "Set Desktop" option, but it lacks the usual system setting icon. At present, it is found that opening the system setting function also means returning to the first screen main interface or clicking the drop-down menu.

Compared with Glory 3C, it is more cost effective for users. Glory 3X emphasizes cost effective while maintaining its flagship high-end status. One hand mode and glove mode can also be seen. Especially in the glove mode, the touch screen must be highly sensitive in hardware. I experienced that the screen can also be easily controlled after I wear thread gloves and turn on the glove mode.

The pull-down menu is designed to be opened in two levels. By default, there are five standing options in the top row. Clicking the down arrow will open all shortcut options. This is different from the design of MIUI with notification on the left and shortcut on the right.

Similarly, the system provides a wealth of practical shortcut utilities.

The built-in "mobile phone butler" function provides comprehensive protection of traffic and privacy. However, the interface is relatively simple, but there are many common basic functions. As a built-in in-depth application of your product, the protection should be more comprehensive and secure.

The background battery management software, coupled with 3000mAH batteries, has been tested. When the power saving mode is not turned on, the screen is turned to the brightest, the volume is 10%, the background turns on wifi but does not arrange the online download process. When the system plays 720p level rmvb movies, the power consumption decreases by 20% in one hour and 10 minutes, which is also the most extreme power consumption, In theory, high-definition video can be played for more than 5 hours. If the intelligent power saving mode is turned on during normal use, the effect of charging every two days can be achieved.

The number of built-in "application market" software games is abundant and quite satisfactory, and all the above test programs can be downloaded and upgraded in the application market.

Press the menu key in the standby main screen interface to call up the desktop menu option. Instead of the previous setting options. If you want to find a system setting option, you need to select it from the desktop or drop-down menu. Accustomed to the late point of Android 4.2 native system.

In terms of games, the MT6592 eight core processor can fully open eight cores in large 3D games. With up to 700MHz 4-core GPU, it can render delicate 3D game pictures while providing extremely smooth game response speed. At the press conference, it was also mentioned that the console perfectly supports the upcoming Modern Warfare 5 game. Gameloft is specially optimized for products equipped with MT6592 processors, and it is completely free (for other models, the legitimate download costs about $10). However, the game has not been launched yet. We are looking forward to the first download experience.

As for small games, Glory 3X is even more important. For example, Temple Escape 2, combined with gravity sensing and ultra sensitive screen, brings a more high-quality and smooth game experience. In terms of photography, Glory 3X has a SONY 13 million pixel stack camera behind it, which contains five pieces of precision lenses, anti fingerprint coating design, and F2.2 large aperture, which can significantly enhance the amount of light input when shooting at night, and then through the processing of multiple patented technologies of the "smart image" image processing engine, it can easily achieve high-quality photography. It supports multi frame noise reduction algorithm, and can also play voice control photography: "take photos", "eggplant", and high volume can take photos.

The built-in functions are also rich, such as voice recording, which can record 10 seconds of live sound at the same time. In addition, the machine is also equipped with a front camera of 5 million pixels with a 22mm wide angle, which makes self taking more leisurely. But like us and big men, there is little need for this front camera. Let's leave it to the girls to experience.

Since the screen has reached 5.5 inches, the cross-border experience brought by the large screen must also be mentioned. Such as driving mode, turning Glory 3X horizontal screen into a vehicle navigator instantly. Compared with ordinary navigators, Glory 3X with built-in A-GPS positioning is faster and more accurate, and can also download updated map packages, voice navigation data packages, etc. The Glory 3X driving mode provides common functions in driving with an extremely simple interface, such as answering and making calls (hands-free by default, safer if connected to Bluetooth), music, navigation, voice operation, etc.

Summary: overall experience of craftsmanship design and detail handling

Finally, summarize the characteristics of Glory 3X:

advantage:

1. The performance is strong. The eight core processor of MediaTek has the best performance at present, but the cost is lower and the scheme is cost-effective.

2. The battery is thick. The 3000mAh capacity matches Huawei's and the power saving function of the Emotion 2.0 system improves the endurance.

3. Built in full format hard decoding, I tested it. For example, mkv, rmvb and other hard decoding can play smoothly, and the body heat is low. It is a good choice to watch movies with 5.5 inch IPS screen and DTS sound effect.

4. Dual cards "mix", and support TD and WCDMA dual 3G. As far as I know, only Nubian cattle and cattle have this powerful ability, but they also only have a single card. Glory 3X has obvious advantages.

Deficiencies need to be improved:

1. The left position of the return key is not convenient for the right hand holding thumb operation.

2. The one handed mode is only limited to the keypad for answering and dialing calls in the input method. It would be better if all interfaces were optimized.

3. The rear camera is prominent, which seems to be the common problem of large pixel mobile phones at present.

In brief, the previous evaluation summary shows that Glory 3X has strong performance, and Anthare has a score of about 28 thousand. Game and software compatibility have always been the strengths of MediaTek. However, even though the real eight cores have not reached the current level of Android, we need not be too serious. The endurance and heat control are very good, especially the built-in full format decoding, which is hard to understand when watching movies. The workmanship is good. The ultra light and high-strength aviation material magnesium aluminum alloy frame has good firmness. The ease of use of Huawei's own Emotion2.0 UI has also improved a lot. The system is very stable. In addition, it has a novel dual 3G card plug-in function.

On the whole, Glory 3X stands at the top of the list of cost-effective machines at a price of 1698 yuan. No matter what the name is, the concept of "true eight cores" seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With good workmanship and excellent EMUI2.0 experience, it should be worth using.
