The first Samsung Galaxy Round launch in China - 上海419贵族宝贝-上海后花园1314-上海品茶网-阿拉爱上海

After a long period of hardware configuration competition, Android phones gradually began to have some products with greater differentiation. For example, G2's back button and Vega LTE-A's back fingerprint identification are both relatively unique designs, while Galaxy Round's flexible screen seems to be an attempt of a new development path. Will this new screen become a trend?

Samsung just released its latest flagship in early September It has many forward-looking attempts and breakthroughs in hardware. For example, 3G Ram and USB3.0 are the first to appear on mobile phones. Samsung's eagerness to release a flagship product in October is more or less unpredictable. The following are Galaxy Round and Galaxy Note 3 (Qualcomm version, ）Specification comparison of:

From the comparison chart, the configurations of the two are almost the same, which can be seen that they are products of the same level. The most distinctive feature of the Galaxy Round is of course the 5.7 inch full HD flexible screen. Although the parameters are the same as those of Note 3, they are 5.7 inch 1080P Super AMOLED, but the actual appearance is quite different from that of Galaxy Note 3 due to the addition of the flexible screen. The battery of Note 3 is 400mAh larger than that of Round, and there is an additional S Pen due to the positioning of Note itself. Due to the smaller battery capacity, the thickness of the Round is also thinner. In other aspects, all features of Snapdragon 800, 3G Ram, 13.1 megapixel stack camera, USB3.0, etc. are identical.

Unpacking

The packaging of Round is similar to that of ordinary Samsung mobile phones, both of which adopt the design of "imitation wood grain", but the size of the packaging is much larger ▼

Some parameters ▼ behind the package

The front of Round is very similar to that of Note 3. It also uses a rounded rectangle design. From the front, it is almost impossible to distinguish Round and Note 3. Of course, the round screen has a certain radian ▼

The back is still made of imitation leather. In fact, it is still plastic. But this time, the grain feels closer to leather than Note 3, and the color is also retro coffee ▼

The camera adopts a design similar to Galaxy S4. In fact, this design is not good because it is easy to cause scratches around the camera ▼

The speaker is at the bottom. Although the speaker is at the back of the body, the body is bent, so even if it is square, it will not bend to cover the speaker ▼

The side of the fuselage is still similar to brushed metal (in fact, it is still plastic), feels smooth, and the key layout is exactly the same as Note 3. From this angle, we can see that the fuselage is curved ▼

Observe the curved fuselage ▼ of Round from the other two angles

There are still infrared sensors, noise reducing microphones and 3.5mm headphone connectors on the top, "Qualcomm ® 4G "label is also a common mark on Qualcomm Snapdragon series mobile phones ▼

At the bottom is the call microphone and USB 3.0 interface, which is also the second mobile phone to use USB 3.0 after Note 3 ▼

Continuing the tradition of Galaxy series mobile phones, the Round can also remove the back cover. Because of the need to compromise the curved body, the space of the battery is relatively small. The battery can only be made into a long strip and the capacity is reduced, and the battery is also straight ▼

The battery capacity is 2800mAh ▼

The card slot is in the same form as Note 3. The microSD and microSIM card slots are stacked together. In fact, this structure is not very good. It is not so convenient to remove the card ▼

Samsung's Korean version machines have always been "conscientious" and will be equipped with dual charging. The Galaxy Round is only available in Korean version, so a battery box is also included in the package for seat charging, where the charging current of the power adapter is 2A ▼

By comparing the sizes of Round and Note 3, it can be seen that their body sizes are very close ▼

Since the fuselage is curved, some operations like "seesaw" matching the fuselage sensor can be realized, such as previewing information ▼ in the silent screen state

After the screen is lit, press the side of the fuselage to achieve a wave like effect, which is very gorgeous ▼

UI and performance

The Galaxy Round still uses Samsung's usual TouchWiz. I believe friends who have used Samsung mobile phones will feel very familiar with it, and I will not give a detailed introduction here ▼

Round added a default red wallpaper than Note 3

There is also a lot of junk software attached to the Korean version

The following is also a simple score run. CPU frequency reduction is more serious, so Anthare scored lower ▼

The GPU test performed well, even in the GFXBench 2.7 test, 27 frames of high score ▼ appeared for the first time

Earlier, South Korean media claimed that Galaxy Round used Super AMOLED with RGB array, and the editor specially took a picture with macro lens. It can be seen that this is obviously a typical Pentile array, and RGB is just a legend... ▼
