Domestic four nuclear civil war TCL Y900 vs. Jinli GN708W

MediaTek's MT6589 quad core processor has finally begun to come out in succession. Unlike Nvidia, Qualcomm and Samsung, MediaTek's quad core processor is much more low-key, and its first models are some old manufacturers in China. MediaTek has always kept a low profile in the promotion of new media, which also leads to less opportunities for its products to focus on the Internet. Today, the author was lucky to get two first models of MT6589, one is TCL Y900, the other is Jinli GN708W Fenghua 2. Now let's see how powerful these two products are.

Appearance design:

In terms of design, the style of the two mobile phones is quite different. The GN708W is a bit like Xiaomi Generation 1. It feels like "no design is the best design"; The Y900 contains more design elements. From the first impression, the Y900 is more attractive.

The workmanship of the two handsets is relatively solid, and the plastic feeling of Jinli is relatively heavy. I hope that the technology of domestic handsets can be improved. Engineering plastics can easily give people a sense of cheapness.

The key part of the chin is quite different. Like the Nexus 4, the Y900 integrates the keys into the system, so it is not equipped with touch keys, while the GN708W is equipped with conventional touch keys.

There are volume keys on the right, but the power key of Fenghua 2 is also here.

The Y900 data cable interface and SIM card slot are on the left.

The micro usb and 3.5mm headphone jack of Fenghua 2 are on the top, and the Y900 is the power key and 3.5mm headphone jack

The chin is very simple, only one call mic.

Y900 adopts the recently popular design of "Panda" with black panel and white back shell, while Jinli's back shell is black. The material on the back of the fuselage is also very different. The shell material of Y900 is a bit like mirror finish paint, which is eye-catching. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be stained with fingerprints, while the GN708W is frosted soft, so you don't need to worry about fingerprints.

Both phones are equipped with 8 megapixel cameras and support 1080P video recording

The position of the loudspeaker is also the same

The SIM card slot of Y900 is relatively wide, because it is a dual card dual standby phone, there is also a dust plug.

The Y900 has a large screen of 5 inches, but the thickness is well controlled. The 8.5mm body is relatively thin. The GN708W screen is 4.5 inches, and the whole machine is much smaller, but the thickness of the GN708W is also thicker.

However, because the resolution of Y900 is much higher, the PPI will also be much higher. On the screen, Y900 is slightly better.

Y900 is red in color, while Fenghua 2 is white.

Because both phones use IPS panels, the visual angle and color performance are very similar, and the Y900 color performance is more abundant.

System UI:

The system UIs of both mobile phones have been customized, but Fenghua 2 is more in-depth. Not only the icons have been modified, but also the interface and layout have been customized.

Y900 still has a lot of original system styles, and the biggest change should be the icon.

The dial-up interface is the most illustrative. The Y900 still retains the appearance of the official native system.

The same is true in settings. After the second customization of Fenghua 2, the Y900 still keeps its original appearance.

Hardware and score:

Both mobile phones are equipped with MT6589 quad core processors. The main frequency is 1.2GHz, and the storage capacity is 1GB, so the running score is also very close, with a score of about 10000 (Anthare 2.9.1, with a 3.0.3 test, it is about 13000).

MediaTek's four core chip MT6589 adopts a 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 architecture, so its power consumption is better than that of A9. The CPU also integrates a single core Power VR SGX544MP graphics processor, which will also be better in game performance. The processor supports up to 13 million cameras and 1080P video recording, and the performance of these two models is still redundant (see the performance analysis article of MT6589 for details《 Science popularization: Analysis of MediaTek's four core MT6589 processor 》)。

Endurance:

Fenghua 2 uses a 2100 mA battery, and Y900 uses a 2500 mA battery. However, Fenghua 2's battery can be replaced, so it is more flexible than Y900's built-in lithium battery design. In terms of power consumption, the configuration is similar, so the endurance is similar, which can last about one-and-a-half days in the author's moderate daily use.

Summary:

Both TCL and Jinli are old factories in China, so their products are not very young. Mobile phones are simple in design and materials, and there are no highlights that are easy to remember. They are easy to forget products. From the perspective of the new product launched this time, Y900 adopts a design style different from the previous models, which is more fashionable, while Jinli continues the previous style. Considering that the consumers of domestic mobile phones are generally people in the second and third tier cities, the pursuit of details is naturally not as harsh as that of first-line manufacturers such as Apple and HTC. For them, the most important thing is to be able to use, good quality and cheap.
