As time goes by, we have ushered in a new year. All mobile phone manufacturers have also completed the closing battle of the previous year. In 2013, many manufacturers have abandoned their mobile phone strategy and started a new way. The core battle still hasn't subsided, and we found that user experience is the way to win. In order to seek breakthroughs, international manufacturers will not give up the high-end market. In 2013, we were also pleased to find that domestic manufacturers have begun to attach importance to the introduction of high-end flagship computers, and even they can compete with high-end products of international manufacturers.

Many users have a great headache about how to choose mobile phones before the Spring Festival. As for the differences between the flagship phones of different brands, let's make a horizontal comparison to see who can hold the whole audience and which is worth upgrading your equipment.
In this horizontal review, we passed two stages: strict audition and netizens voting on Jifeng Forum. In the first stage, 22 flagship mobile phones of various brands released and launched in 2013 were selected by audition, with unlimited price range.
22 candidate models will be voted. Each netizen can choose 3 favorite phones from 22 models. After the voting, statistics will be made and brands will be screened. Each brand can only be selected into one model, and finally 8 phones with the most votes will be selected, namely Samsung Note3, LG G2, Sony Z1 HTC One、vivo XPlay、 Meizu MX3, Nubia Z5S, Nexus 5 (in no particular order).
These models are the eight flagship Android smartphones of various brands in 2013. First, make a simple comparison of the parameters of the five models.
▲ Comparison parameters
The third generation product of Samsung Note series, Note3, has a screen size of 5.7 inches and a resolution of 1920 * 1080 pixels, making it the largest screen in Note mobile phone series. With the heavy Samsung family style appearance and lighter design, the S Pen pen has also been upgraded.
▲ Samsung Note 3
LG G2 is equipped with a 5.2 inch 1080p resolution IPS screen with a pixel density of up to 423ppi. Since the screen still uses the technology called GRAM (Graphic RAM), it can achieve 26% power saving effect. It is worth mentioning that LG G2 also adopts an ultra narrow frame design, whose frame width is only 2.65mm, and the screen proportion is 75.9%.
▲LG G2
Although the appearance has not changed much compared with the past, the popularity of Sony Xperia Z at the beginning has made Sony Xperia Z1, known as the upgraded version, receive more attention. The biggest feature of this machine is that it is loaded with professional G lens, and has a mobile version of BIONZ image processor, with the highest pixel up to 20.7 million. And the machine also continues the outstanding three prevention features of Sony in the past.
▲ Sony Z1
The HTC One is wrapped in solid "armor". The all metal body is obviously very different from the mobile phones on the market. In addition, it has an innovative and colorful aggregation interface. It is also equipped with a 4 million pixel UltraPixel camera, which supports the HTC Zoe dynamic photo shooting function.
▲HTC One
The vivo Xplay is a quad core smartphone with a 5.7-inch super large screen. The improvement in audio and video performance is particularly remarkable. At the same time, it supports BBE, SRS and Hi Fi sound effects, and can listen to shocking music at any time.
▲vivo Xplay
Meizu is an independent representative of Chinese products, and its strict pursuit of perfection is always its philosophy. Meizu MX3, with a 5.1-inch gold ratio large screen that meets the needs of the public, integrates the simple Flyme 3.0 interface and luxurious hardware configuration, and makes an impact on the honorary title of winning the "best to use" large screen smartphone.
▲ Meizu MX3
The Nubian Z5S has already accumulated super popularity through many eye-catching functions, and has become one of the current mainstream flagship mobile phones relying on powerful hardware configuration. It is not only equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, but also has the advanced mode of focusing and metering separation, which is comparable to the performance of a micro single camera.
▲ Nubia Z5S
As the son of the latest generation of Google, the Nexus 5 is in the leading position in terms of hardware configuration and system applications. In terms of configuration, it can be regarded as today's top flagship. With the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat system, the bottom toolbar of KitKat is now translucent, and users can set some applications to full screen.
▲Nexus 5
● Selected models: representative flagship models released by international and domestic brands in 2013, and the final selected models are Samsung Note3, LG G2, Sony Z1 HTC One、vivo XPlay、 Meizu MX3, Nubia Z5S, Nexus 5 (in no particular order).
● Horizontal review content: Jifeng compared the appearance, screen, performance, system, video, photography and endurance, price, purchase channel and brand of these eight flagship mobile phones.
● Scoring criteria: during the evaluation, each link will be scored separately, and the individual ranking will be conducted. Finally, the scores of all items will be added together, and the netizens will vote for the scores to get the final ranking.
● Score distribution: appearance, screen, performance, system, video, photography, endurance, others (price, purchase channel, brand) account for 10% respectively, and netizens vote for 20%.
● Award setting: Best Popularity Award, Editor's Recommendation Award, Best Flagship Award.
Compared with the hardware upgrade, the appearance changes very little. It is really difficult to find products with unique design. Although beauty and ugliness coexist in our life, it is everyone's right and goal to pursue beauty, especially for mobile phone manufacturers.
As the flagship of each company, the 5-inch screen has become the mainstream configuration. The technology continues to advance, and with the ultra narrow screen frame, the original 5.7 inch hard to grasp with one hand becomes possible.
Scoring standard for appearance: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation process. The appearance part is divided into two parts: appearance design score and editing score. The appearance design accounts for 80% of the appearance chapter, which is further quantified into six parts: grip (2 points), workmanship (2 points), key distribution (1 point), interface function (1 point), SIM card portability (1 point), and color (1 point). The editing score accounts for 20% of the appearance part, and the maximum score is 2 points. Finally, the final score of the appearance section is obtained by adding the six parts of the appearance design and the editing scoring part.
● Editing scoring: In order to view the appearance design rationally, a voting activity was specially held in the Jifeng editorial department. The scoring judges rated eight mobile phones according to their liking for the appearance of mobile phones. A total of eight editors scored mobile phones, with the highest score of 2 points, the difference of 0.5 points decreasing, and the lowest score of 0.5 points. Finally, the average value was added up.
● Grip feeling: 2 points for comfort, 1.5 points for more comfort, 1 point for less comfort, and 0.5 points for less comfort.
● Workmanship: 2 points for excellent, 1.5 points for relatively excellent, 1 point for general and 0.5 points for poor.
● Key distribution: 1 point if reasonable, 0.5 point if unreasonable.
● Interface function: 1 point for rich and 0.5 point for general.
● SIM card portability: 1 point for convenience and 0.5 point for inconvenience.
● Color: 1 for rich and 0.5 for single.
Specific introduction:
The screen sizes of the eight mobile phones are different, and there are some differences from the front, ranging from 4.7 inches to 5.7 inches.
▲ Front of fuselage
The functions on the front and top of the screen are similar. They are all equipped with earphones, distance sensors and front camera, but the earphones are slightly different in shape and the front camera pixels are uneven.
▲ Above the front of the fuselage
At the bottom of the screen are keys. Only Samsung Note3 is equipped with physical keys. In addition, LG G2, Sony Z1, Meizu MX3, and Nexus 5 cruelly place virtual keys inside the screen, taking up a certain amount of space. It seems that the built-in virtual keys on the screen have become a trend. HTC One also has unique keys, only two of which are equipped, and the HOME key is placed on the right side. Users who have just started to use it will often press the wrong key. In addition, we can see array speakers on the screen and the lower part of HTC One. The speaker design here can effectively solve the problem of sound being blocked and weakened.
▲ Below the front of the fuselage
Although the functions on the back are similar, only cameras and LED fill lights are available, but the colors and materials are different, users familiar with the brand can recognize them at first sight. The biggest feature is Samsung Note3, which has been changed from the bright plastic to the artificial leather material with high texture, and there are traces of needle and thread sewing on the edge.
▲ Back of body
The rear camera is located above the back of the fuselage, and Sony Z1 is far ahead with 20.7 million pixels. It can also be seen that LG G2 uniquely moved all the buttons to the back of the fuselage, which can be said to be a major breakthrough in the design industry.
▲ Top of fuselage
At the bottom of the body, except for Sony Z1, the other seven mobile phones are uniformly equipped with micro USB interface and microphone hole. To solve the problem of blocked speakers, Sony Z1, Samsung Note3, LG G2 and Nexus 5 placed speakers at the bottom of the fuselage.
▲ Bottom of fuselage
The left side of Samsung Note3, Meizu MX3, Nubia Z5S and Nexus 5 is more conventional and equipped with volume adjustment keys. There are no keys around LG G2, and the card slot interface is on the left side of Sony Z1. Because the machine has the three prevention function, it is equipped with a protective cover outside the interface. Since the HTC One of the Bank of China is not an integrated body, it can open the back cover, so the switch to open the back cover can be seen on the left side of the body. The left side of the vivo XPlay is the micro SIM card slot.
▲ Below the back of the fuselage
At the top of the body, 3.5mm earphones are placed here for all seven mobile phones except LG G2. It can also be seen that the power key of Meizu MX3 and HTC One is also on the top of the machine body. For the nearly 5-inch large screen, it is unwise to place the power key here.
▲ Left side of fuselage
On the right side, more and more mobile phones have placed the power key here, which makes it convenient for users to turn on/off the screen with one hand, including Samsung Note3, Sony Z1, vivo XPlay, Nubia Z5S and Nexus 5.
▲ Body card slot
▲ Right side of the fuselage
In terms of battery, only Samsung Note3 can open the back cover to replace the battery. Except for HTC One and Meizu MX3, they all adopt an integrated body design. In terms of SIM cards, all are equipped with micro SIM cards. Only when Samsung Note3 needs to shut down, can it be replaced.
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Edit scoring: after strict and objective scoring, the results are as follows: Samsung Note3=LG G2=Sony Z1=HTC One>Meizu MX3=Nubia Z5S>vivo Xplay>Nexus 5
● Grip: The back of LG G2, Meizu MX3 and Nubia Z5S are all designed with an arc grip, which can better fit the feel. With a lighter weight, the feel is the most comfortable. Secondly, HTC One is excellent, while Nexus 5 and Sony Z1 with flat back feel uncomfortable. Samsung Note3 is not comfortable to hold because of its large body. HTC One>Nexus 5>Sony Z1=Meizu MX3=Nubia Z5S>LG G2>Samsung Note3=vivo Xplay
● Workmanship: Samsung Note 3, LG G2, Sony Z1, and vivo Xplay have the best workmanship. The imitation leather back shell of Samsung Note 3 makes people shine, adding a lot of texture to the mobile phone. In addition, Meizu MX3, Nubia Z5S, Nexus have also performed well. Since its release, HTC One has been deeply affected by cracks and cracks in the fuselage, and its workmanship is poor.
● Key distribution: Samsung Note 3, Sony Z1, vivo Xplay, Nubia Z5S and Nexus 5 place the power key on the right side of the phone body in a very consistent way. For large screen phones, this design is very reasonable. It seems that the key design of LG G2 is strange and placed on the back of the fuselage, but it is really easy to operate. The HTC One power key is placed on the top left side of the fuselage, which is too inconvenient for right-handed users, and the Meizu MX3 power key is also placed on the top of the fuselage.
● Interface function: All mobile phones support OTG function. Samsung Note 3 adopts micro USB 3.0, which is the best, while the other seven models are average.
● SIM card portability: LG G2, Nexus 5, Sony Z1, vivo Xplay, Nubia Z5S adopt an integrated body design, and it does not need to turn off the machine when inserting or removing SIM cards. The Samsung Note 3, HTC One, and Meizu MX3 do not use an integrated body design. The HTC One and Meizu can remove the back cover but cannot replace the battery. These two phones can be directly inserted into the SIM card, which is relatively convenient. The Samsung Note 3 needs to remove the battery to replace the SIM card, which is somewhat inconvenient.
● Color: Samsung Note3, Sony Z1 and vivo Xplay have three kinds of colors for users to choose from, which are rich in color matching. The color matching of other mobile phones is relatively conventional, and black and white color matching is single.
▲ Appearance editing score
▲ Appearance scoring
Summary: After many tests and subjective judgments, LG G2 finally won the championship of appearance. Although we can see the brand of Samsung S4 on it, we have to say that the first thing we like when we get it is the design of its ultra narrow frame. The left and right sides are almost borderless, which makes the 5.2 inch 1080p screen in the center produce a very excellent visual effect. LG is still obscured by Samsung's light even though its brand popularity is not as good as Samsung's. However, the realization of ultra narrow borders, unique button design and comfortable grip are slightly impressive.
For consumers, mobile phone screen is one of the important factors that determine purchase. To tell the truth, for mass consumers, it is better to look at the actual effect than to listen to those fancy parameters.
Scoring criteria for screen articles: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation process. The screen section is divided into four parts: screen size (2 points), pixel density (1.5 points), screen frame (2 points), and image quality performance (4.5 points). After further refinement, the image quality performance is also divided into three parts: color restoration, visual angle, and detail performance. The 4.5 points of the image quality performance are split, of which color restoration accounts for 1.5 points, visual angle accounts for 1.5 points, and detail performance accounts for 1.5 points. Finally, the final score of the outer screen will be obtained by adding the scores of the four parts of the screen.
● Screen size: 2 points above 5.5 inches, 1.5 points between 5.1-5.5 inches, 1 point between 4.8-5 inches, 0.5 points below 4.8 inches.
● Pixel density: excellent for 440ppi or above 1.5 points, average for 400ppi-440ppi 1 point, poor for 440ppi or below 0.5 point.
● Screen frame: 2 points for excellent within 2.7mm, 1.5 points for good within 2.7-2.9mm, 1 point for general within 3.0-3.2mm, and 0.5 points for poor above 3.3.
● Color restoration: it is divided into three parts: red, green and blue, 1.5 for excellent, 1 for general and 0.5 for poor. Score each part separately, and take the average of the sum as the final score of color restoration.
● Visual angle: 1.5 for excellent, 1 for general and 0.5 for poor.
● Detailed performance: 1.5 for excellent, 1 for general, and 0.5 for poor.
Specific introduction:
We need to draw conclusions through direct observation and specific key parameters. The screen size, pixel density, and screen frame are used to talk with the fact data, while the image quality performance is used to take a screen remake to directly view the effect.
Arrange two rows of eight mobile phones side by side, use the camera to take a screen remake, and the test environment is completely black. The test item includes three parts: color restoration, visual angle, and detail performance.
▲ Color restoration test: test the red restoration ability
▲ Color restoration test: test the blue restoration ability
▲ Color restoration test: test green restoration ability
The red, blue, and green primary colors were restored to test, and the screen brightness was also raised to the brightest state. Eight mobile phones played pictures in red, blue, and green at the same time, which could be visually observed by the naked eye. The screen remake effect was poor, and the difference was not obvious.
Color restoration test ranking: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Red: HTC One>Nexus 5>Nubia Z5S>LG G2>Meizu MX3>Samsung Note3>vivo Xplay>Sony Z1
● Green: HTC One>Nubia Z5S>Nexus 5>LG G2>Meizu MX3>Sony Z1>vivo Xplay>Samsung Note3
● Blue: Nexus 5>HTC One>Nubia Z5S>Sony Z1>vivo Xplay>Meizu MX3>LG G2>Samsung Note3
▲ Color restoration test score
Visual angle: When we use mobile phones in daily life, there are not many cases where we can use mobile phones positively. Especially when we play games and watch videos, we often use mobile phones from a certain angle, so the visual angle of the mobile phone screen is also a crucial factor to consider how a mobile phone user experiences. Respectively remake the vertical angle and horizontal angle.
▲ Visual angle test: vertical angle/horizontal angle
▲ Visual angle test: vertical angle/horizontal angle
Detail performance: Open the browser to the same webpage, and 100% zoom in the unified icon of the remake image to observe the zoom in details.
▲ Detail performance test: enlarge 100% details
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Screen size: Samsung Note3 and vivo XPlay are 5.7 inches, LG G2 is 5.2 inches, Meizu MX3 is 5.1 inches, Sony Z1 and Nubia Z5S are 5 inches, Nexus 5 is 4.95 inches, and HTC One is the smallest 4.7 inches. Score and rank according to screen size, and the final ranking is Samsung Note3=vivo Xplay>LG G2>Meizu MX3>Sony Z1=Nubia Z5S>Nexus 5>HTC One.
● Pixel density: eight mobile phones have reached 1080p level, but the screen size is different, and the pixel density is also different. The highest pixel density is HTC One 469ppi, Nexus 5 445ppi, Meizu MX3, Nubia Z5S, Sony Z1 441ppi, LG G2 423ppi, and the two Samsung Note3 and vivo XPlay with the same 5.7 inch are the lowest pixel density 387ppi. Score and rank according to the screen pixel density, and the final ranking is HTC One>Nexus 5>Sony Z1=Meizu MX3=Nubia Z5S>LG G2>Samsung Note3=vivo Xplay.
● Screen frame: Digital vernier calipers are used for frame measurement, which may have slight errors, but they have been as accurate as possible. LG G2 and Nubia Z5S have the narrowest and best borders, followed by Samsung Note3, vivo Xplay, Meizu MX3 and Nexus 5. The ultra wide borders of Sony Z1 and HTC One can't bear to look directly at them. Score and rank according to the size of screen frame, and the final ranking is LG G2<Nubia Z5S
● Color restoration: score the red, blue and green primary colors respectively, and add the final score to the average value to obtain the final score. The final ranking is HTC One=Nubia Z5S=Nexus 5>Meizu MX3>LG G2=Sony Z1>vivo Xplay>Samsung Note3.
● Visual angle: Samsung Note3, HTC One and Nubia Z5S are excellent in visual angle, LG G2、vivo Xplay、 Meizu MX3 has an average visual angle, and Sony Z1 and Nexus 5 screens have the worst visual angle, with serious whitening. The final ranking is Samsung Note3>HTC One>Nubia Z5S>Meizu MX3>vivo Xplay>LG G2>Nexus 5>Sony Z1.
● Detail performance: In detail performance, the same icon is magnified to 100% when shooting. HTC One and Nubia Z5S are the best in detail performance with high pixel density. LG G2 and Sony Z1 performed moderately. The worst titles finally belong to Samsung Note3, vivo Xplay, Meizu MX3 and Nexus 5. The final ranking is HTC One>Nubia Z5S>LG G2>Sony Z1>vivo Xplay>Nexus 5>Meizu MX3>Samsung Note3.
▲ Screen score
Summary: The 1080p level screen has become the standard configuration of many flagship computers. The size of the screen also determines the size of the pixel density. However, in normal use, even the 1080p mobile phone with the size of nearly 6 inches will not feel any graininess at all, so there is no need to struggle with this problem. The Nubia Z5S has won the victory of the screen with absolute advantages by using IGZO materials and high pixel density. Its true color reproduction, good visual angle, narrow screen frame and other characteristics have added a lot of points to it.
The performance of the flagship machine is naturally the focus of users' attention. Without excellent hardware configuration, it can not be called the flagship machine. How about the performance of these selected models? Is there a big difference? Compare by running the score test.
Scoring standard of performance part: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation process. It is divided into five parts: processor parameters, GPU, rabbit run, Vellamo run, Nenamark2 run. Each part has a maximum of 2 points. Add the five parts together to get the final performance of the performance section.
● CPU parameters: according to theoretical values, four+four cores are excellent 2 points, 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 is excellent 2 points, 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 is good 1.5 points, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and Orion 5410 are average 1 point, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8064 is poor 0.5 points.

Specific introduction:
Samsung Note3 uses Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa 5420 dual quad core processor, with a main frequency of 1.9GHz, and built-in 3GB memory, the highest in the industry, and 16/32/64GB body storage space.
LG G2 adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad core processor, with the main frequency of 2.3GHz, and the performance is quite powerful. It also has 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16GB or 32GB of storage capacity.
Sony Z1 is equipped with a 2.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 800 series processor and a 2GB RAM+16GB ROM memory combination.
Since HTC One was released in the first half of 2013, its configuration is slightly backward. It is only equipped with a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad core processor.
At the core of Bubugao Vivo Xplay, a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad core processor and a memory combination of 2GB RAM+32GB ROM are built in.
Meizu MX3 still uses Samsung Exynos series processor, model 5410, A7+A15 dual quad core architecture, and the main frequency is 1.7GHz. 2GB RAM is also built in, and 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacity versions are available. Memory card expansion is not supported.

▲ Equipment information
The easiest way to intuitively understand the performance of various mobile phones is to use software to score points. In this horizontal review, we selected three kinds of software: Antu Rabbit, Vellamo and NenaMark2.
Anthare evaluation is a software specially designed to score mobile phones and tablet computers of Android system. It can run complete test items with one key, pass multiple performance tests such as memory performance, CPU integer performance, CPU floating point performance, 2D and 3D drawing performance, database I/O, SD card reading and writing speed, and score the overall and individual hardware performance of mobile phones. At the same time, upload scores and view the ranking of the device in the world.
▲ An Tu's score
Vellamo is a benchmark application (similar to Neocore) developed by Qualcomm. It allows you to test the performance and stability of mobile browsers, including Java script performance, rendering, networking and user interface. The results of this tool also include multiple sub items, but we only take the total score. The higher the score, the better the mobile phone optimizes the browser and the better the web browsing experience.
▲ Vellamo's score
NenaMark2 is a graphics processing capability testing tool for Android smart phones. It tests the hardware acceleration capability of mobile phone graphics processing units by playing a video demo. Among them, Nenamark1 is applicable to all terminals running Android 2. x system; Nenamark2 is applicable to high-end Android devices equipped with PowerVR SGX 540 and above graphics chips.
▲ NenaMark2 score

● NenaMark2: score and rank according to the running score, and the final result is HTC One>Samsung Note3>Nubia Z5S Sony Z1>LG G2=Meizu MX3>Nexus 5>vivo Xplay.
▲ Performance score
Summary: In recent years, you don't have a Snapdragon 800 processor, and you are ashamed to call it a flagship machine. Only two of the eight mobile phones reviewed horizontally have Samsung Orion. Although the performance of the Samsung Orion processor is also very excellent, there is still a problem of capacity, and some of your mobile phones are in short supply. From the above test results, Samsung Note3, which is absolutely leading in hardware, also has obvious advantages in running points. Samsung's stability is no accident. On the contrary, the leadership of Nexus 5 in hardware is not fully reflected in running points.
The reason why smart phones are smart phones is that they have a powerful and open intelligent operating system. However, in this era when Android almost dominates the world, we still want to see some differences. Nowadays, almost every manufacturer is making their own UI for mobile phones, highlighting the characteristics of their brands from the inside out.
Scoring standard of system part: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation process. The system chapter is divided into four parts: interface aesthetics (3 points), basic functions (4 points), fluency (2 points), and characteristic functions (2 points). Finally, the final score of the system chapter is obtained by adding the scores of the four parts.
● Interface aesthetics: 3 points for aesthetics, 2 points for general aesthetics, and 1 point for non aesthetics.
● Basic functions: 3 points for rich, 2 points for general, and 1 point for single.
● Fluency: 2 points for fluency and 1 point for stuck.
● Features: 2 points for rich and 1 point for single.
Specific introduction:
Although the aesthetic design of Samsung Note3 may not be particularly attractive in terms of UI customization of Android system, users can actually change the icons of any application, even change the navigation keys on the screen, and add folders at will under the secondary menu to facilitate application management.
▲ Lock screen interface
Korean mobile phones also have amazing similarities. They pay more attention to practicality than beauty. LG and Samsung also pay attention to user experience. Users can also choose which shortcut setting switches, icons, etc. appear in the drop-down menu in the status bar. This customized route is also a highlight of G2 mobile phones.
▲ Standby interface
The Sony Z1 system is not very different from the previous Sony mobile phones. The system is based on Android 4.2.2 in-depth customization, with a strong Sony style. Not only is the beauty not the best, but also the practicability is slightly poor. You can't customize the shortcut notice bar according to your own needs, and you haven't made any optimization for large screen mobile phones. Only excellent industrial design has no connotation, and it can't stand in this industry.
▲ Notification bar interface
The Sense 5 on HTC One also brings different visual impact. There are two page layouts in the phone, namely, the BlinkFeed interface and the traditional Android interface. The design of BlinkFeed interface is similar to a small porcelain chip, which can provide a variety of digital content and social application service information. The data on the BlinkFeed can be filtered according to the user's needs.
Vivo XPlay is equipped with the new official operating system of Vivo - Funtouch OS. According to the official definition, the newly built system's Funtouch OS will pay more attention to content, vision and system playability than the native system, and eliminate some unnecessary "red tape" to make the system lighter, simpler and more user-friendly.
▲ Setting interface
Meizu MX3 runs the Flyme 3.0 system, which is an innovative work developed by Meizu for its smart phones, and strives to provide Meizu mobile phones with more powerful application functions and better operating experience. Flyme 3.0 boldly uses a flat style with card layout and new color elements, making the interface more fresh and simple.
▲ Characteristic interface
On the system, Nubia Z5S adopts Android 4.2.2 system, which runs the system UI exclusively customized by Nubia. According to the native Android system, the changes are not too big. However, the whole system UI is full of technology and smooth operation. The interface also supports a variety of themes for users to change.
It is the first time to experience the system update of Google, which is also the benefit of Nexus series as a son. Nexus 5 is equipped with the latest Android 4.4 system, which is far ahead of the eight mobile phones. Although the latest version is adopted, the changes are not very big. Since 4.0, Google has not made drastic changes to the system UI and other aspects.
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Interface aesthetics: the simple style of vivo Xplay and Meizu MX3 is the most beautiful. Korean Samsung Note3, LG G2 and native Nexus 5 can also be quickly accepted, while the black background of Sony Z1 and HTC One, and the somewhat outdated unlocking interface of Nubia Z5S let them get the lowest score.
● Basic functions: Korean mobile phones Samsung Note3, LG G2 and vivo Xplay have the most abundant functions and plug-ins. Meizu MX3 is slightly inferior to the first three. Sony Z1, HTC One, Nubia Z5S and Nexus 5 cannot customize shortcut settings, and the functions are too simple.
● Smoothness: Samsung Note3, LG G2 and vivo XPlay systems have very high smoothness, while other mobile phones have different degrees of stuck, especially Nexus 5.
● Features: Samsung Note3, LG G2 and vivo Xplay have all made in-depth optimization for mobile phones, such as flip mute, gesture sensing and other features, which can be called very rich.
▲ System score
Summary: The so-called Chengya operating system and the loser operating system, in addition to the universal reason of design and hardware, the operating system is obviously an important element that determines whether a smart phone can sell well. Changing wallpaper, pull-down menus with various switches, etc., is nothing more than the ever-changing Android mobile phone interface. So this time, there are three equal first places in the system part, namely Samsung Note3 LG G2、vivo Xplay， We won the final victory by virtue of rich humanized design.
The flagship large screen mobile phone is the favorite choice of girls, and drama chasing is an indispensable thing every day. For the actual audio and video, we selected 10 videos with 5 formats and different resolutions for testing.

▲ Scoring of audio-visual articles
Summary: LG G2 and Meizu MX3 finally won the first place in the audio and video section. From the test results, it can be seen that domestic manufacturers generally understand user needs and have good compatibility in this regard. Among them, Meizu MX3, vivo Xplay and Nubia Z5S have very perfect multimedia support.
Nowadays, smart phones are no longer simple communication tools. They incorporate more functions, such as the photo function that people often use. With the reduction of hardware cost and the continuous improvement of imaging technology, the imaging capability of some high-end smart machines has approached or even exceeded that of card machines. The strong ability to take photos has basically integrated mobile phones with cameras, and has brought a lot of convenience to our daily life.
Scoring standard for photo essay: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation. It is divided into ten parts: actual pixel, aperture size, shooting function, outdoor strong light, indoor strong light, outdoor weak light, indoor weak light, outdoor macro, indoor macro, and photo details. Each part has 1 point. Add the ten parts to get the final result of the photo.
● Actual pixels: 1 point for excellent pixels above 13 million pixels, and 0.5 point for average pixels below 13 million pixels.

Specific introduction:
Samsung Note3 uses a 13 million pixel rear camera and a high brightness LED fill light, which has ultra-high resolution and can shoot up to 4K video. In addition to good camera parameters, Samsung has also made a lot of optimization in camera related software and functions, especially in the photo mode, including skin beautification, optimal photo taking, facial optimization, surround photo taking, background erasing, rich color HDR, night shooting, motion mode, dynamic photo, track photo taking, voice recording, panoramic photography, etc, The user experience has been greatly improved.
▲ Photo interface of each mobile phone
LG G2 uses a 13 million pixel main camera, supplemented by LED fill lights, and OIS optical anti shake, which can achieve a three-level anti shake effect. The machine provides a variety of parameter settings. Voice can be used to control the shutter shooting. Brightness, focusing, ISO, white balance, color effect, timer and other parameters can be adjusted. There are 12 built-in shooting modes, such as eraser shooting, dynamic tone, panorama, VR panorama, continuous shooting, face optimization, dual camera shooting, time capture shooting, intelligent automatic, sports, and night. But I think users will still use normal or intelligent automatic modes most frequently.
Sony Z1 has a 20.7 million ultra-high pixel camera, which is the first mobile phone equipped with 20 million pixels. The machine uses 1/2.3 inch Exmor RS built-up image sensor, and also adopts Sony's current flagship G lens and BIONZ image processing technology, and has an 8x digital zoom. The time panning function can take 61 photos within 2 seconds, equipped with intelligent AR camera effect, and supports recording HDR and 1080p high-definition video. This luxurious lens configuration basically kills all Android phones currently on the market.
HTC One also uses UltraPixels imaging technology. Although the number of pixels is only 4 million, each pixel is 2 microns in size, which can get more light and better image quality; With the help of F/2.0 large aperture and excellent optical stabilization system, the focal length is equivalent to 28mm of 35mm camera. Camera photo shooting supports night, HDR, panorama and Gif animation shooting modes. In addition to recording FHD movies, video shooting also supports fast, slow movies, or HDR movie recording. The camera interface also has some built-in photo effects that can be used. However, the camera can only adjust the size of film recording, not the size and proportion of photo shooting.
Vivo Xplay adopts 13 million UltraPix stack type rear camera, 2100 line ultra-high resolution 5P lens, and the large aperture of F2.2 has higher light input and denser pixel points under the same lighting environment.
Although the current flagship computers all use tens of millions of camera pixels, Meizu Technology has not followed suit blindly. MX3 still continues the design of 8 million pixels, but it uses Sony's third generation back lit 8 million pixel camera, with an aperture of up to F2.0. With the "zero delay photography" technology, it can achieve a shooting speed of 20 pictures per second.
The Nubian Z5S is still 500W front+1300W rear, and the aperture of the rear camera is F2.2. At the same time, the photography program is upgraded to Neovision 3.0. In addition to retaining professional functions such as light metering, focusing separation, exposure locking, etc., it also adds the world's first independent white balance, etc.
The Nexus 5 rear main camera adopts 8 million pixels and is equipped with a single LED fill light. It can shoot pictures with 3264 × 2448 pixels at most. It has built-in optical anti shake function and 360 degree panoramic shooting mode. Compared with the other seven mobile phones, although its shooting interface looks more simple, it is not easy to use and has a single function.
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Actual pixels: Samsung Note3, LG G2, Sony Z1, vivo Xplay and Nubia Z5S all have more than 13 million pixels, so they are excellent, while HTC One, Meizu MX3 and Nexus 5 are ordinary if they are less than 13 million pixels.
● Aperture size: The aperture of Samsung Note3, Sony Z1, HTC One and Meizu MX3 is f/2.0, which belongs to the excellent level, and the other four mobile phones belong to the general level.
● Shooting function: Samsung provides 13 shooting modes. LG G2, which belongs to the Korean family, also has 12 shooting modes similar to Samsung's. Sony Z1 also has its own characteristics by virtue of time shifting, AR effect and other functions. HTC One also has a wealth of shooting modes, Vivo Xplay has features such as micro video. The focus metering separation mode of Nubia Z5S has created its own features. These phones have rich photo taking functions. The other phones have a single function and can only take ordinary photos similar to the iPhone.
▲ Outdoor strong light sample
● Outdoor bright light: In the outdoor bright light environment, LG G2, HTC One, Meizu MX3 color restoration is not true, and the overall picture is yellow. In addition, HTC One has always been difficult to focus, and can only be classified as general, while the other five mobile phones are excellent.
▲ Indoor strong light sample
● Indoor bright light: In the indoor bright light environment, except for HTC One and vivo Xplay, they are excellent, and several mobile phones are even. HTC One still cannot focus, while vivo Xplay has very poor color reproduction ability.
▲ Outdoor weak light sample
● Outdoor weak light: In the outdoor weak light environment, the outdoor night scene is selected. Samsung Note 3, LG G2, Nexus 5 show outstanding performance and excellent picture details. While the other five mobile phones have high photo brightness, the picture quality is average.
▲ Indoor weak light sample
● Indoor weak light: In the indoor weak light environment, Samsung Note3, Sony Z1, vivo Xplay, Nubia Z5S, Nexus 5 can better highlight the details of the picture, with high brightness, which is excellent, and the other three models are average.
▲ Outdoor micro sample
● Outdoor micro distance: under outdoor micro distance environment, HTC One、vivo Xplay、 Meizu MX3 and Nubia Z5S both have excellent white balance performance with outstanding details. The other four types of mobile phones all have poor focusing, overexposure or underexposure, which is not very good.
▲ Indoor micro sample
● Indoor macro: In the indoor macro environment, LG G2, vivo Xplay and Nexus 5 do not focus properly, and their detail performance is average. The other five mobile phones perform well.
▲ Photo detail sample
● Photo details: In the last photo details test, the original photo was magnified by 100%, and the same part was cut for comparison. The 4 million HTC One and 8 million Meizu MX3 had obvious lack of details. The other six mobile phones have excellent detail performance. Although Sony's effective pixels are 20.7 million, the detail performance is not surprising.
▲ Scoring of photo
Summary: With the advantage of high pixels, Samsung Note3 has won the photo shoot. For photographing, as 13 million pixel stack CMOS occupies the majority of the selected models, the gap between the models is not too large, but the richness of software functions is more than that of Samsung Note 3.
One of the major drawbacks of Android phones is that their endurance is generally poor. Most Android phones face the dilemma of charging once a day or even more. The last thing we need to see is the battery life of the mobile phone. Of course, the performance of the flagship mobile phone need not be mentioned, but the high performance will inevitably lead to more power consumption. If the battery life is too weak, everything will be useless, and even the most basic calls can not be guaranteed, then the mobile phone is really an art product.
Generally speaking, the larger the battery capacity is, the more guaranteed the overall endurance is, but it is also related to other power consumption factors such as processors and screens. In order to test the endurance of the eight mobile phones selected in this horizontal review, we conducted five limit tests.
Scoring standard for endurance part: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation process. It is divided into two parts: battery capacity and endurance test. Each part has a maximum of 5 points. Add the two parts together to get the final score of the endurance chapter.
● Battery capacity: 5 points for excellent battery capacity above 3200mAh, 4 points for excellent battery capacity between 3000mAh and 3200mAh, 3 points for average battery capacity between 2800mAh and 2999mAh, 2 points for 2600-2799mAh, and 1 point for battery capacity below 2600mAh.
● Endurance test: 5 points for excellent within 20%, 4 points for relatively excellent 20% - 25%, 3 points for good 26% - 30%, 2 points for average 31% - 35%, and 1 point for average 36% - 40%.
During the endurance test, uniformly adjust the screen brightness to 50% and the volume to 50%, turn off data exchange and turn on WIFI. In addition, due to the limitations of the working environment, we used the headphone mode uniformly during the test, which also conforms to the current user habits. There are five items in the whole endurance test, including playing local videos, running games, playing online videos, playing local music, and making phone calls.
First, select local video to play. In order to be closer to the real experience, the author chose the 1280 * 720 resolution MKV format video, and directly used its own player for video testing.
▲ Local video test results
In the game testing phase, instead of choosing the big game like the best speed car, I chose the rapids yacht that I prefer to play.
▲ Local game test results
Next, the online video playback test session will be conducted. In the case of WIFI, Youku videos will be played online for half an hour using the browser.
▲ Online video test results
Playing local music is the most common thing on the way to and from work, so it is played for half an hour when the screen is turned off.
▲ Local music test results
Mobile phones are mainly used for making calls, and of course the last call is essential.
▲ Call test results
The test results of eight mobile phones are quite different, and the final power consumption of five tests is between 16% - 38%. Endurance is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Before pursuing hardware, we still expect that problems such as endurance can be solved first.
▲ Endurance test results
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Battery capacity: according to the battery capacity, score and rank successively, and the final result is vivo Xplay>Samsung Note3>LG G2=Sony Z1>Meizu MX3>Nubia Z5S=Nexus 5=HTC One.
● Endurance test: score and rank according to the endurance test, and the final result is Samsung Note3<Sony Z1.
▲ Scoring of endurance
Summary: Different processors and screens will bring different power consumption. At present, most top flagship computers are equipped with 3000mAh batteries. Although Samsung Note3 has the strongest performance and the largest screen size, it is in the leading position in terms of power consumption. The five tests only consume 16% of power, which is amazing. It is absolutely better in terms of power saving. In this link, the advantages of AMOLED screens are greatly reflected. In addition, the aircraft is equipped with 3200mAh batteries, and the large capacity batteries have brought it a longer endurance time, which undoubtedly provides better endurance guarantee. In addition, we can see that among the eight models participating in the horizontal review, only the Samsung Note3 can replace the battery. Combining high endurance and replaceable batteries, it is a very suitable choice for users who often play with mobile phones.
Although all eight mobile phones are called flagship phones, due to different brand influence, the price range is relatively large, ranging from 1999 yuan to 5399 yuan, which of course should also be a part of the horizontal review. The following price evaluation links are all from the official website's line price.
▲ Samsung Note3 price
▲ LG G2 price
▲ Sony Z1 price
▲ HTC One price
Scoring criteria for other chapters: 10 points, accounting for 10% of the whole horizontal evaluation. The other chapters are divided into three parts: price (4 points), purchase channel (3 points) and brand influence (3 points). Finally, the final results of the other chapters are obtained by adding the results of the three parts.
● Price: RMB 1999 - 2499 is 4 points cheaper, RMB 2500 - 2999 is 3 points cheaper, RMB 3000 - 3499 is 2 points more expensive, and more than RMB 3500 is 1 point more expensive.
● Purchase channel: 3 points for convenience, 2 points for convenience and 1 point for inconvenience.
● Brand influence: 3 points for internationally well-known brands, 2 points for internationally well-known brands, and 1 point for domestic brands.
▲ vivo Xplay price
▲ Meizu MX3 price
▲ Nubian Z5S price
▲ Nexus 5 Price
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Price: Nubia Z5S and Meizu MX3 are the cheapest, followed by vivo Xplay and Nexus 5. LG G2 and HTC One are more expensive, and Samsung Note3 and Sony Z1 are the most expensive.
● Purchase channel: Samsung Note3, LG G2, Sony Z1, HTC One are all international first-line brands, which can be easily purchased in stores and online stores. It is very convenient to purchase. The vivo Xplay and Meizu MX3 also have their own direct stores, and online purchase channels make it easier to buy. The Nubian Z5S and the Nexus 5 without the Bank of China version can only be purchased online, which is inconvenient.
● Brand influence: Samsung Note3, Sony Z1 and HTC One are internationally renowned brands in China; LG G2 and Nexus 5 are also international brands, but their influence in China is not good, and they are relatively well-known internationally; The rest of vivo Xplay, Meizu MX3 and Nubia Z5S belong to domestic brands.
▲ Score of other articles
Summary: Due to the quality and brand awareness, several international brand models are priced at more than 3000-5000 yuan. The price of several domestic brands is around 2000 yuan. The domestic manufacturers selected this time have a clear understanding of their own positioning and did not blindly set high prices. In other aspects, four international brand mobile phones are in the leading position. Although their prices are high, their brand awareness and purchase channels have increased their scores.
In terms of price, there is no doubt that the Nubian Z5S mobile phone designed with a quad core processor costs only 1999 yuan, which makes other mobile phones have no advantage in price. Domestic manufacturers are still in the stage of improving brand awareness. They are gradually entering the high-end and international markets through the improvement of hardware configuration and user experience. Through the baptism of the mobile phone market in 2013, the author believes that in 2014, Chinese manufacturers will gradually become the leading players in the domestic market, and there will be a qualitative leap in brand awareness and the overall brand bargaining power.
Users' opinions on how a mobile phone works are absolutely more persuasive, and they need to get the most just and rational choice. For this reason, we chose to vote in the Jifeng Forum and select 22 candidate models in the early stage, so that netizens can select the best 3 flagship models in 2013 from 22 models. After brand screening, each brand can only be selected for one model, and finally the 8 mobile phones with the most votes will be selected. The voting results are as follows:
▲ Voting results of netizens
Scoring standard for netizen voting: it accounts for 20% of the whole horizontal evaluation link. Judging by the popularity of netizen voting on Jifeng Forum, the full score is 20 points.
● Number of votes: the number of votes is divided into 10 grades, 20 points for more than 20000 points, 18 points for 18000-19999 points, 16 points for 16000-17999 points, 14 points for 14000-15999 points, 12 points for 12000-13999 points, 10 points for 10000-1999 points, 8 points for 8000-9999 points, 6 points for 6000-7999 points, 4 points for 4000-5999 points, and 2 points for 2000-3999 points.
Ranking and results of various tests: (The following ranking is from the best to the worst)
● Number of votes: score and rank according to the voting results. The final result is LG G2>Samsung Note3>Sony Z1>Nexus 5>HTC One>Meizu MX3>Nubia Z5S>vivo Xplay.
▲ Score of netizen voting
Summary: LG G2 won the first place in the voting section of Jifeng netizens by a very big advantage, and the number of votes was more than twice that of Samsung Note3, the second place. It can be seen that the competition between LG and Samsung has always been tit for tat. However, such achievements also surprised us, because the LG brand has always been tepid in China, and its brand recognition is definitely not as high as that of Samsung. Such impressive achievements also represent the success of LG G2.
Although you can think of mobile phones as a collection of several digital devices, if you take them apart, it seems that none of them can match the devices they represent. There is still a gap between taking pictures and small cards after years of advocacy. Although there is enough hardware support, it still feels bad when playing games. For professional players, mobile phones can also play the three elimination games. Fortunately, everyone is also working hard to achieve the effect as close as possible.
For the flagship model, the screen is still mainstream at about 5 inches, and has spared no effort to make the 1080p resolution screen larger. Since the second half of 2013, the Snapdragon 800 seems to have become the standard configuration today.
▲ Comprehensive score
This flagship aircraft horizontal review article covered eleven test items, including appearance, screen, performance, system, audio and video, photography, endurance, price, sales channel, brand, netizen voting, among which appearance, screen, system, and photography articles were subjective and could not be described with actual parameters, and perceptual judgment accounted for a large part, After all, there is no unified standard for people's aesthetic appreciation. The performance, video, endurance, price, sales channel, brand and netizen voting are judged by parameters, and the results are objective and fair.
Best popularity award:
First of all, we have to say that the current mobile phone market is not only increasingly homogeneous in hardware configuration, but also increasingly similar in appearance. Therefore, it is not easy to make a great breakthrough in appearance in the current mobile phone market. This time LG G2 played a trick by placing all the keys on the back of the fuselage, which made it more unique in appearance. It's really unexpected that LG, who has always been tepid in China, has made such impressive achievements in the forum voting segment, and this award deserves its name.
Editor's Recommendation Award:
Nubia Z5S won the Editor's Recommendation Award for its outstanding performance. This brand is a domestic brand, and its final achievement even surpasses that of two major international brands. This achievement ranks first among domestic brands, even in appearance, screen and performance. The price of 1999 yuan is only half of the price of international brands, realizing the strength to compete with international brands.
Best Flagship:
After more than ten tests, LG G2 finally won the title of flagship aircraft in 2013 with 79.4 points. LG has never been absent from the high-end Android market, but its efforts in China are not strong enough and its publicity efforts are not strong enough to win the recognition of more users. With the Nexus 4, which has cooperated with Google, LG has really made it popular, brought more market share to it, and also made many users know LG from a new perspective. As a flagship product of the year, LG G2 shows all the qualities that a flagship mobile phone should have. Exquisite workmanship, an appearance design that can be accepted by the majority of consumers, a smooth and stable operating system, excellent performance, and an appropriate price can all be our reasons for choosing it. Although it didn't get enough amazing performance in taking photos, we still can't deny that it is a good phone, and it is the representative work of the best phone in the Android field.
