NTT DoCoMo, a famous Japanese operator, held a new aircraft launch conference in the winter of 2013/spring of 2014 in Japan last month. In addition to the most dazzling mini machine Sony Xperia Z1f, another high-profile new machine, the Samsung Galaxy J, which is known as the strongest version of the Galaxy S4, also came on stage.

As we all know, Samsung mobile phones have two major characteristics: one is the stacking of hardware, the other is that there are many mobile phone models, and all mobile phones have the same icon. Far from being said, the latest version of Galaxy S4 launched only half a year ago has been so numerous that people can't remember clearly: Unicom version, Telecom version, Mobile version, Mini version, Three Defense version, Zoom version... What's the difference between today's Samsung Galaxy J, which is known as the strongest version of Galaxy S4, and today's Samsung Galaxy J? Now the author will send you the trial evaluation of Samsung Galaxy J.
Open the box of Japanese Samsung Galaxy J
▲ The packaging of Samsung Galaxy J is square, and it is made of materials similar to Xiaomi mobile phones, but it is softer and less firm.
▲ Samsung Galaxy J has three colors: blue, white and pink. The author borrowed the white version, of which the pink shopkeeper who is more coquettish said that it has not arrived yet.
▲ The commodity model and precautions are marked on the side of the package.
▲ At the bottom are some simple configuration information, including support for LTE network, 5-inch FHD Super AMOLED screen, 2.3 GHz CPU, 3GB RAM, 2600 mAh capacity battery, etc.
▲ Open the cover to see the body of the Samsung Galaxy J mobile phone. The Japanese version of Samsung mobile phone still has the screen sticker with strong counterfeit flavor.
▲ There is an instruction sticker for opening the battery cover on the back.
▲ The inner layer is some mobile phone accessories.
▲ All package contents. The Samsung Galaxy J in my hand was borrowed from a gray merchant. All the accessories include the mobile phone body, data cable, headset, earplug, warranty card and manual.
The appearance of the Churi system is still plastic
The first time I saw the Samsung Galaxy J, I was surprised by the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy J, although I didn't feel as bright as I expected. As we all know, Samsung is another manufacturer who likes to cut corners and cut costs in the design of mobile phones. In the past two years or more, all Samsung's mobile phones have looked the same. The only way to roughly distinguish their models is to use the wallpaper icon that comes with the phone when it leaves the factory. The Samsung Galaxy J has made some adjustments in the appearance details, and the Japanese style is more obvious.
▲ In the past two years or more, all Samsung's mobile phones have looked the same. To roughly distinguish their models, you can only rely on the wallpaper that came with the phone when it left the factory. The Samsung Galaxy J has made some adjustments in the appearance details, and the Japanese style is more obvious.
▲ The front of Samsung Galaxy J is a 5-inch screen. With the narrow frame design, the whole phone looks slightly more impressive than the ordinary Galaxy S4.
▲ The logo of NTT docomo is printed on the top of Samsung Galaxy J because it is a customized machine of a Japanese operator. There are LED indicator lights, earphones, emotional devices and front camera beside.
▲ Below is the symbolic three buttons of Samsung. Personally, the author thinks that the HOME key with the body design of Samsung Galaxy J, which has a slightly Japanese style, has a sense of disobedience and copycat, which is not as strong as other Samsung models. It looks much more comfortable. However, the hand feeling is still ordinary in actual operation. The design of the physical key between the left and right touch keys has destroyed the consistency of the hand feeling during operation.
▲ There is a power key on the right side of the fuselage. The key range is moderate, but the hand feel and feedback strength are average.
▲ The left side is the volume key, and the feel of the volume key is obviously better than that of the power key.
▲ There are headphone jacks, infrared receiving ports and unique Japanese TV antennas on the top of the fuselage, which are not used in the mainland.
▲ The bottom is the MicroUSB interface and noise reduction microphone. The Samsung Galaxy J is also equipped with a decorative hole, which is very considerate.
▲ There are 13 million pixel cameras, flash lights and speakers on the back.
▲ The frame still adopts the imitation metal design process of metal wire drawing coating.
▲ The back of the Samsung Galaxy J is designed with a special dark dot pattern, which feels good, but unfortunately the Samsung Galaxy J is still made of plastic.
▲ The Samsung Galaxy J uses a replaceable battery design, but the back cover feels fragile. When the back cover is opened, the author is very worried about breaking it.
▲ The battery capacity is 2600 mAh.
▲ Although the card slot of Samsung Galaxy J is marked with SIM card, it actually supports MicroSIM card. In addition, Samsung Galaxy J also supports MicroSD card expansion.
▲ The overall size of Samsung Galaxy J is 37 x 70 x 8.6 mm, and its weight is 146g. Because its screen frame is relatively narrow, boys have no problem holding it with one hand.
▲ The fine adjustment of the appearance design made the Samsung Galaxy J bring a certain favor to the author. Especially for the back, although the Samsung Galaxy J still uses cheap plastic materials, the design of dark spots and the Japanese style revealed by the whole machine make the sense of cheap and copycat plastic materials that appeared on previous Samsung models, such as S4 and Note 3, reduce a lot in the three-star Galaxy J.
TouchWiz based on Android 4.3 system
Samsung Galaxy J is equipped with the latest Android 4.3 operating system, and has its own TouchWiz Nature UI user interface. The TouchWiz Nature UI optimizes the details of the unlocking interface and highlights the sense of technology of the mobile phone. In general, the interface of the TouchWiz Nature UI is not different from that of Samsung S4, Note 3 and other mobile phones, and there is no striking feeling.
▲ Samsung Galaxy J is equipped with TouchWiz Nature UI based on Android 4.3.
▲ Samsung's consistent unlocking interface (the locking screen wallpaper of Samsung mobile phones has become the main means for the author to distinguish Samsung mobile phone models icon), click the top and pull down to call out the weather and event book.
▲ Main interface and menu bar.
▲ The setting menu is still divided into four major items: connection, device, control, and general. For the mobile phone UI of other settings, Samsung's classification is much more convenient.
▲ In order to optimize the operation of large screen mobile phones, Samsung added a single hand operation option in the control bar. I personally think this function is quite convenient. However, it should be noted that Samsung Galaxy J does not support S Pen. I wonder what the purpose of Samsung's option marked with S Pen in Samsung Galaxy J is.
▲ Samsung Galaxy J has also added gesture control function on S4. As far as the author's personal use habits are concerned, in addition to increasing touch sensitivity, other gesture control functions are the power saving function of turning off the phone as soon as you get it. Although it can reflect humanization, at this stage, the gimmick is more practical than the gimmick.
▲ Samsung Galaxy J does not support S Pen, but Samsung still adds functions that are only applicable to S Pen, such as floating window preview, floating window commands, and so on. I don't know what the purpose is.
▲ The multi task window function of the signboard will also appear on the Samsung Galaxy J. Long press the return key to call out or hide the tray of the multitask window, and long press the arrow to change the placement of the tray.
▲ Compared with Jilei's gesture control function, the multi task window function is much more practical.
▲ In addition to editing the original multitasking program, the user can also create a new pairing window. Take contacts and information for example. After the name editing is completed, it will appear on the multi task tray in the form of a multi task program. Clicking it will directly pop up the two programs that have been set.
▲ Another very practical aspect of the multitasking function is that it allows users to open two My Documents programs at the same time, so that users can easily process and edit data between two folder windows.
▲ Similarly, YouTube and its own browser also support opening two windows at the same time, but they do not support this function much at present. It is hoped that Samsung can add more programs that allow opening two windows at the same time in the future.
▲ Although it is a customized machine for Japanese operators, the Samsung Galaxy J has been localized since it came to the mainland gray market, which is no different from the general Samsung mobile phones on the mainland market.
13 megapixel camera
Samsung Galaxy J is equipped with a 13 million pixel main camera, flash, zero delay shutter, BIS backlight sensor, and supports FHD video recording. In terms of photographing software, Samsung Galaxy J has the functions of dual lens photographing, voice recording photographing, track photographing, HDR, etc. It is basically the same as Galaxy S4 in terms of photographing parameters and functions.
▲ Samsung's consistent photo interface.
▲ Support dual lens shooting.
▲ A maximum of 13 million pixels can be taken.
▲ It supports multiple rich photographing modes, such as voice recording, track photographing, dynamic photo, HDR photographing, etc.
The photography experience still needs to be improved
The following author brings a group of sample films taken by Samsung Galaxy J:
Outdoor shooting:
The figure below shows that HDR effect is not enabled, and the figure above shows that HDR effect is enabled:
▲ In outdoor shooting, the performance of Samsung Galaxy J is fairly good. The scene has a strong sense of hierarchy, and the HDR enhancement effect is also obvious. However, the author feels that the daily photography of Samsung Galaxy J is not very stable. Sometimes the photos taken will be grayed out inexplicably, such as sample 2 and sample 4, and the imaging speed of daily photography is also relatively slow. After pressing the shutter, it usually takes 1 to 2 seconds to return to the shooting interface.
Indoor shooting:
▲ When you come indoors, the performance of Samsung Galaxy J is remarkable. The automatic white balance is accurate, the shooting content is clear and sharp, the color is full, and the performance is above the standard.
Macro shooting:
▲ The macro link is also satisfactory to the author. The focus is fast and accurate, the main body is prominent, the lines are clear and recognizable, and the background is illusory. The only disadvantage is that the imaging speed is not stable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Night shot:
▲ The night scene performance of Samsung Galaxy J really makes the author love and hate it. What I love is that when the ambient light is very sufficient, the Samsung Galaxy J can take good night pictures. The light and shade are appropriate, the color tone is excessively natural, the white balance is more accurate, and the noise suppression and anti glare ability are above the standard. Sometimes, it can even take a star like feeling. However, when the light is slightly dark (slightly dark, not without obvious light source), the Samsung Galaxy J seems to have a sense of powerlessness, and the smearing phenomenon is very serious. The sharpness of the edge of the scene is greatly reduced, and the imaging speed becomes very slow.
In general, the shooting ability of Samsung Galaxy J is not very satisfactory to the author. Dissatisfaction here more means that this performance is not the performance of the machine at this price and configuration. In addition to indoor and macro shooting, the performance of the Samsung Galaxy J in outdoor and night scenes is not very stable. In particular, in terms of imaging speed, whether it is shooting in sufficient sunlight or at night, there will be a transition bar that takes 1 to 2 seconds after one shot, and the next shot can only be taken after the transition, which makes the shooting experience of Samsung Galaxy J greatly reduced icon. In addition, the author tried to lock the screen when opening the camera program several times when taking photos in the test, and then woke up the phone when sleeping dead. It can only be solved by pulling out the battery and restarting. The author hopes that this is a problem of firmware and version optimization, so that the Samsung Galaxy J has room for improvement.
In terms of imaging speed, whether it is shooting in sufficient sunlight or at night, a transition bar that takes 1 to 2 seconds will basically appear after one shot, and the next shot can only be taken after the transition is completed, which greatly reduces the shooting experience of Samsung Galaxy J.
Perfect support for Unicom 3G card
Although the Samsung Galaxy J in my hand is a customized machine in Japan, it is officially shown that the Samsung Galaxy J supports GSM, WCDMA (Unicom 3G), LTE (4G) network systems, and the mobile phone frequency band is WCDMA 900/2100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900。 It is reasonable to say that there is no problem when it is directly used in mainland China, so the author will put a Unicom 3G card into the test.
▲ The card reading is normal after power on, and the words "China Unicom 3G" are displayed.
▲ You can also search the networks of China Unicom and China Mobile.
▲ Sending and receiving information and making phone calls are normal.
▲ There is no problem with 3G Internet access.
Snapdragon 800 2.3 GHz four core run test
Samsung Galaxy J is the strongest S4 in history, mainly due to the upgrade of its hardware configuration. Samsung Galaxy J is equipped with 5-inch FHD S-AMOLED screen, 2.3GHz Qualcomm S800 four core processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, and supports memory card expansion. In addition to the screen, the Samsung Galaxy J is basically the same as the Note 3 in hardware. The following author brings a set of screenshots of the running points of the Samsung Galaxy J (I wonder if the Japanese version of the Samsung mobile phone will cheat on the running points like the international version? Icon).
▲ The running score of Antu Rabbit is 34285.
▲ BENCHMARK scored 59.75.
▲ NenaMark2 scored 60.0 fps.
▲ Performance test and VELLAMO scores.
summary
In general, the author believes that this Japanese version of Samsung Galaxy J is a more sincere product of Samsung. First, it uses the same top-level configuration as Note 3. The Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz four core processor, 3GB RAM, and 32GB ROM are also called the strongest S4. Secondly, but also most importantly, there is a small change in the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy J, which is more due to the addition of some Japanese mobile phone elements, which gives the author a refreshing feeling to distinguish Samsung mobile phone models by locking the screen wallpaper. The only thing that can pick out the thorns is the poor touch of the power key, virtual key and HOME key (personal point of view), as well as the photo taking experience slightly sorry for this configuration and positioning.
At present, the Japanese version of Samsung Galaxy J has been listed in Japan, and smugglers have also started to supply it. The latest price of smuggled goods is 3600 yuan. Surprisingly, Samsung Galaxy J passed Taiwan NCC test with SGH-N075T on 11/14, which means that Taiwan will introduce Samsung Galaxy J in the future. As the most important market of Samsung, the mainland is believed to have great opportunities for subsequent introduction. The author believes that if the Samsung Galaxy J can improve the shooting experience and price it at around 3000 yuan, it will be a very competitive product.
