On December 16, 2013, Huawei held a brand/new product launch conference in Beijing with the theme of "Who is competing for glory". In addition to officially announcing that the Glory series has become a new independent sub brand, Huawei also released the long rumored Glory 3C mobile phone. However, we are not unfamiliar with this product. Not long ago, Huawei disclosed some configurations of this machine, and frequently claimed that Glory 3C would become the machine king product in the new thousand yuan machine market after its release.

As the saying goes, "The geomancy turns around, and it will be my home this year." Now, Hongmi mobile phone has been firmly seated as the 1000 yuan level mobile phone king for nearly half a year. If Glory 3C wants to take the position of the mobile phone king, it must defeat Hongmi mobile phone first. Yesterday, our website launched a review article at the first time after the release of Glory 3C. Although we gave high praise in the article, it still needs a real contest to know whether we can really defeat Red Rice. Less gossip, let's start a comparative evaluation of the two mobile phones.
First, let's understand the specific configurations of the next two products. According to the above list, Glory 3C adopts a 5.0 inch 720p (1280 × 720 pixels) resolution large screen, a MT6582 quad core processor of MediaTek with 28nm process technology, the main frequency is 1.3GHz, and the built-in ARM MALI-400 graphics core. It is equipped with a 1GB/2GB RAM+8GB ROM memory combination to run the Huawei Emotion UI 2.0 system customized based on Android 4.2 system. In terms of camera, the front 5 megapixel+rear 8 megapixel lens is adopted. In terms of endurance, it is equipped with a 2300mAh lithium polymer battery.
Red rice uses a 4.7 inch screen. Although it is smaller than the former, it uses the same 720P (1280 × 120 pixels) resolution. Therefore, it is higher than the former in terms of PPI (fineness). In terms of processor, Hongmi also uses a quad core processor from MediaTek's 28nm process, the model is MT6589T, the main frequency is 1.5GHz, and the built-in Power SGX 544MP graphics core. The memory combination of 1GB RAM+4GB ROM is also used. In terms of the system, the MIUI V5 system, which is exclusively customized by Xiaomi, is carried. In terms of endurance, it is equipped with a 2000mAh lithium polymer battery.
The appearance design can be said to be one of the biggest selling points of the whole mobile phone. In addition to meeting people's aesthetic standards, the feel can not be ignored. Therefore, in terms of design concept, both mobile phones adopt the most mainstream streamline design scheme at present. However, in terms of details, the shape design of Glory 3C is thinner, and the fuselage thickness is only 9.2mm. The back cover is also treated with piano paint baking process, which makes the overall appearance elegant, simple and fashionable.
Compared with the former, Hongmi adopts a more conservative design scheme. Although the two are very similar in appearance, the appearance is more thick than that of Glory 3C. Although the market now advocates ultra-thin mobile phones, the thicker body is more comfortable for a small editor.
In terms of screen, Glory 3C adopts a 5-inch 1280 * 720 resolution screen, and adopts the full fitting process and LTPS low-temperature polysilicon technology. Compared with the IPS screen of Hongmi mobile phone, it has a higher resolution.
The design of the front fuselage of Glory 3C is very similar to that of Red Rice. Except for the different front camera data and placement positions (5 million pixels for Glory 3C front camera and 1.3 million pixels for Red Rice front camera), the positions of sensors and earphones are the same.
In terms of keys, the bodies of Glory 3C and Hongmi both adopt the standard "three swordsmen" key design, the three keys are the return key, the HOME key and the setting key.
The rear cameras of the two products also use the same 8 megapixel camera, and both are equipped with an LED fill light. In terms of data alone, we cannot determine which is stronger and which is weaker. Therefore, in the following, we will take samples taken by two mobile phones for comparison and identification.
As mentioned by the previous editor, the two mobile phones are very similar in design. In addition to appearance, they all use the same layout scheme on the on-off key, volume key, Micro USB and 3.5mm audio jack. However, in terms of details, there are still some differences between the two phones, such as the placement of the Micro USB interface, but these will not affect users' use.
In terms of the system, the editor did not introduce more features of the two mobile phones, but simply introduced the interface UI of the product. After all, the most used part of a mobile phone user is the call application, rather than the rarely used feature application.
Glory 3C is equipped with the Motion UI 2.0 customized based on Android 4.2 (version number: 4.2.2) system. Compared with the native system UI, the Motion UI 2.0 not only has a new colorful interface, but also has redesigned icons and themes. At the same time, it comes with the Simple UI mode, which is simple and easy to use.
Hongmi also adopts the customized MIUI system based on Android 4.2 system version. In terms of layout, the two designs are very similar, with the primary interface removed, so that users can directly access the secondary menu page, which is simple and clear. At the same time, in the multitask management interface, the two systems have also added the one button acceleration function, which is convenient for users to use.
Although the two mobile phones are very similar in system layout, there are still some differences in details, such as the notification status bar. The design of Glory 3C is relatively compact, while that of Red Rice is relatively loose. However, in terms of use experience, Xiao Bian believes that the design of Hongmi is more convenient for users to operate. It can avoid misoperation caused by user's compactness.
Conclusion: Glory 3C and Hongmi have both adopted their own customized UI interfaces, which has greatly improved the user experience compared with the native system. When opening or closing common applications, neither of the two mobile phones has a hard or unsmooth situation.
In terms of hardware, both mobile phones adopt the current mainstream configuration scheme, of which the Glory 3C uses the MediaTek quad core MT6582 processor, with a main frequency of 1.3GHz, and a 1GB/2GB RAM+8GB ROM combination.
The configuration of Hongmi is comparable. In terms of core core, the same chip supplier as the Glory 3C mobile phone is selected, equipped with the MT6589T quad core processor of MediaTek, with the main frequency of 1.5GHz, and combined with 1GB RAM+4GB ROM.
Both models use quad core processors, so which one is better than the other in terms of performance? Let's test the real performance of the two flagship products through several conventional software.
AnTuTu Benchmark is an entertainment software specially designed for Android devices to score mobile phones and tablet computers. It can run a complete test project with one key. Through "memory performance", "CPU integer performance", "CPU floating point performance", "2D, 3D drawing performance", "database IO", "SD card reading and writing speed" Eight performance tests score the hardware performance of the mobile phone. The test result shows that the honor 3C score is 17143, and the red rice score is 15839.

As a mobile web ruler tool, Vellamo has now expanded to include two main modules. HTML5 module can be used to evaluate the performance of mobile web browser, while Metal module can measure the performance of CPU subsystem of mobile processor. The test suite is click to use, convenient and fast. It is managed in modules. Vellamo can evaluate many aspects such as scrolling, 3D graphics, video performance, memory reading and writing, and bandwidth peak performance. The test result shows that the HTML5 score of Glory 3C is 1956, and the METAL score is 595; Hongmi scored 1617 in HTML and 529 in METAL.
Nenamark2 is a software for testing the 3D performance of mobile phones, which mainly focuses on testing the GPU performance of mobile phones. Glory 3C scored 55.0 fps on Nenamark2, and Red Rice scored 45.5 fps.
Through the actual use of the author, the system runs smoothly under the configuration of the two, and the operations with low performance requirements such as daily microblogging and text messaging can be easily handled. Their main difference in performance experience should be in high load activities such as games.
The pure scoring only allows us to understand some theoretical performance of mobile phones, while the real performance and compatibility can only be known through actual game experience. Now I will test the actual experience performance of these two phones through several games and videos.
Torrent speedboat is the first water motor speedboat racing game on the Android platform. Its design prototype is from the Hurricane Thunder racing boat on the XBOX360. This game has realistic water physical characteristics, such as real time reflection and spray, as well as gorgeous high-resolution speedboats and environments.
Through a short trial of the game, Red Rice and Glory 3C can meet the operation requirements of the game. In the experience, the game runs very smoothly, without any stumbling or frame loss.
"Samurai vs Zombies" is a horizontal action game. In the game, players will play a brave warrior to defend villages and towns and fight against zombies. At the same time, users will also strengthen defenses and recruit powerful allies to wipe out the spreading zombie army in front of villages and towns!
Since Glory 3C and Hongmi both use the same chip supplier, there is no discomfort in the compatibility of the two phones. When running the game, there is also no case of stuck frames.
Then let's take a look at the video playing ability of Glory 3C and Red Rice? The following editor selects four HD clips in different formats to verify its playback ability.
Although the main function of the mobile phone is to make calls, with the continuous updating of the system and hardware, users now choose the mobile phone not to test the call quality as before, but to see the built-in functions and some features of this mobile phone. The quality of the photo function is undoubtedly one of the main factors that affect whether users buy this phone.
In terms of parameter comparison, the two mobile phones both use 13 million pixel cameras, so which one is better or worse in performance? Let me compare a group of pictures taken at the same time and in the same scene.
Through the test, Glory 3C can directly play MP4, AVI, MKV and RealVideo, four common video formats, and the playback status is very smooth, without any stuttering or frame dropping. However, compared with the former, the Hongmi mobile phone fails to play because its own video player does not support the RealVideo format, which does not mean that Hongmi cannot play this video format. When using, users only need to download a third-party player that supports RealVideo format decoding.

From the above samples, we can see that the imaging quality of both mobile phones is highly praised, but there are differences in details. The samples taken by Glory 3C are slightly stronger than those taken by Xianghongmi in terms of exposure, while the samples taken by Hongmi are slightly darker. Although the style may be slightly different, the sample of Glory 3C is closer to reality. However, in the macro sample, the red rice sample has better color control.
Conclusion: Through the above evaluation and introduction, we believe that you have an understanding of the two mobile phones, Glory 3C and Red Rice. In general, the two mobile phones are very close in terms of configuration and price. Although Glory 3C has a leading edge in score performance, but the prototype sent for testing is 2G version, so the scores we tested this time are only for reference. However, in a word, the performance of the two mobile phones is commendable. It can be said that the riding of tigers is equal, and the winner is neck and neck. If you have to choose one of the two phones, I believe that everyone will be very difficult. However, I can recommend a method for you to choose. The method is very simple, that is, you can buy whichever is better. Finally, I hope you will find it helpful to buy mobile phones after reading this review.
