When it comes to the word "thousand yuan machine", many people will sneer at it. They all think that the word "thousand yuan machine" and the word "quality" are not connected. But if it is an old brand manufacturer like TCL, that is not necessarily true. Momoda 3N is TCL's latest thousand yuan machine work, and it is more appropriate to describe it with "good quality and cheap price".
Specifications:
5.5 inch 1080p IPS LCD screen;
MT6752 8 core processor, Cortex-A53 architecture, maximum dominant frequency 1.7GHz;
Mali-T760 MP2 GPU；
2GB RAM+16GB expandable memory;
Android 4.4.4 operating system;
3500 mAh built-in battery;
13 million stacked CMOS F/2.2；
8 megapixel front camera;
Dual card and dual standby, supporting TD-LTE.
appearance:
This time, we got two Momoda 3Ns, both of which are gold phones.
Most of the front area of the fuselage is occupied by a 5.5 inch 1080p. The back of the fuselage is made of plastic material, and the back cover is not removable. The 13 million pixel main camera is located above the back, and there are single speakers and single LED fill lights on the back. The back feel is quite exquisite, not as cheap as some other thousand yuan computers.
The design of the card slot cover of Momoda 3N is very ingenious. When opening the card slot, you need to press the bulge on the card slot, and then you can open the protective cover. This design effectively reduces the opening of the body.
The bottom is the USB interface of the phone, The phone has a 3.5mm headphone connector on the top, and the speaker is located at the lower back. The workmanship of the opening is good.
The location of mobile phone buttons is very reasonable, which is convenient for users to operate with one hand, and the soft and hard buttons are moderate and excellent feedback.
There is no LOGO on the front, three capacitive touch buttons on the bottom, and earpiece and front camera on the top.
Screen:
The Momoda 3N system has built-in screen color temperature adjustment options, and can select the "bright" mode. Users can choose the color trend of the screen according to their preferences.
When changing the viewing angle, the screen still performs well without color deviation.
When the display is all black, it can be seen that the screen backlight of Momoda 3N is even, and no light leakage is found, which is very rare in this grade of mobile phones.
The screen of Momoda 3N is bright in color, clear in display, and excellent in visual angle. It is very good for reading news or enjoying pictures and videos, even better than the screen of some more expensive mobile phones. As for color restoration, the screen of Momoda 3N is slightly cold in color restoration in standard mode, However, after adjusting the color white balance of the screen, the color restoration of this screen can be relatively accurate, and no obvious color deviation can be seen by the naked eye.
photograph:
The number of pixels of the rear camera of Momoda 3N has reached 13 million pixels, which can take 4160 × 3120 photos at most. The built-in photographing interface of the system is quite simple and practical, and it also provides a variety of scene modes and manual modes with very rich adjustable options.
Memeda 3N photography supports manual selection of focus. After clicking the screen to select the focus measuring point, click the "+" sign to drag the yellow box to measure light when the focus is locked. This is quite practical in daily photography.
The rear camera of Momoda 3N can take amazing pictures. This camera can take very clear pictures in the sunny environment in the daytime. The overall sharpness of the picture is very high. The white balance is slightly warm at some times. The overall color of the sample is gorgeous, which is very attractive.
The night view sample of Momoda 3N is not as amazing as the daytime sample. The picture is bright, the white balance is accurate, and the color is still beautiful. However, in the environment of poor light, the noise of the whole picture is too much, affecting the retention of details. However, for a 1000 yuan machine, it is qualified to have such performance.
System:
The Memeda 3N system uses Lefrog OS based on Android 4.4.4, which is famous for its excellent localization and comprehensive functions.
The system has built-in theme function, so users can download themes, change system icons, wallpapers and even fonts.
Swipe right on the main screen to open TCL's news reader. The reader interface and functions are similar to FlipBoard, and the operation is smooth. Users can choose content according to their own interests. It is very practical to watch a news in their spare time.
Memeda 3N has very rich system functions. It has built-in security software such as security center and traffic monitoring, which can easily monitor the use status of mobile phones. Through the traffic monitoring software, you can also set the upper limit of monthly data traffic, set a certain period of time to turn off the background traffic networking, and notify users when the background traffic is abnormal, To prevent malicious software from sneaking traffic in the background and causing losses to users, it is unnecessary to install other mobile phone guards and other software.
Memeda 3N has built-in HotKnot function of MediaTek, which can exchange data with other devices that support HotKnot. When using, just paste the screens of two mobile phones, and the two mobile phones can transmit contacts, music, videos and even large quantities of files to each other. The main principle of this function is to pair the two mobile phones by relying on the electrical signal of the touch screen, So when directly touching, both phones need to light up the screen, and one of the phones must stay on the desktop, otherwise the phone will not be able to determine the sender and receiver. If it is too troublesome to touch the screen, you can also use the built-in client for transmission.
When using this function on other mobile phones, the experience is relatively ordinary, but TCL Momoda 3N has optimized this function. The overall transmission pairing success rate is greatly improved compared with the mobile phones I have experienced before, and the speed is also considerable. A picture of about 2.5 MB can be transferred instantly.
In addition, Memeda 3N also supports the black screen gesture function. Users can turn on or choose to draw a gesture to start an application according to their own needs. As for double click wake-up, it is necessary. Double click wake-up to unlock the phone directly, which is very convenient to operate.
Gesture operation and somatosensory operation are also supported. Users can turn on or off according to their own needs. In the actual measurement, the success rate of gesture operation is good, and it is also easy to use. In particular, the gesture answering function is convenient for users to answer the phone when they are not convenient to touch the phone.
Other convenient functions include the official app store, timed on/off, and task manager. In addition to many pre installed applications, users can start using them without making too many settings.
Performance:
The MT6752 processor built into Memeda 3N is the latest eight core 64 bit processor launched by MediaTek. This processor is targeted at the middle end. Its main competitor is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615. This processor contains eight Cortex-A53 CPUs, with a nominal maximum main frequency of 1.7GHz. The GPU is Mali-T760 MP2. Based on the 28nm process, it is equipped with 2GB RAM, It has the strongest performance among thousand yuan machines. In daily use, the performance provided by this processor is quite abundant. The UI operation of Memeda 3N system is smooth, and the application startup and switching are also smooth.
After using the system monitor, we found that when there is no daily task processing, the processor only turns on one or two cores, and runs at a lower frequency to save power. The number of processor cores turned on can be flexibly adjusted. When the cores that have been turned on are fully loaded, the rest of the cores can be flexibly turned on.
In addition, during light applications, the opened cores (generally no more than two) will exceed the maximum primary frequency limit of 1.7GHz and increase the frequency to 1.85GHz to improve performance, which is similar to the MT6595 processor on Meizu MX4.
GeekBench 3 was used to test the CPU performance of the processor. The single core score of the Memeda 3N CPU was 682 points, and the multi-core score was 3364 points. This score far exceeded the 2200 points of the Snapdragon 615, indicating that the CPU performance of the Memeda 3N CPU was very powerful.
Using GFXBench to test the GPU, the performance of the Mali-T760 MP2 GPU built into the Memeda 3N is acceptable. The test results are comparable to the Adreno 405 matched with the Snapdragon 615 processor, which is also good at this price.
In terms of browser performance test, the Sunspider score of Memeda 3N using Chrome browser is 864 milliseconds, which has obvious advantages over the Snapdragon 615 processor's performance of more than 1000 milliseconds, indicating that Memeda 3N performs very well in processing web commands.
Using Anthare 5.5 to test the comprehensive performance of the mobile phone, the total score was 40501, which is very tough for a thousand yuan mobile phone. The total score has approached the score of the mobile phone with Snapdragon 800 processor, leaving the mobile phone with Snapdragon 615 processor far behind.
In a word, the performance of the Memeda 3N is a standout among mobile phones at the same price. The strong CPU and large RAM space mean that users can open several applications at the same time without worrying about the phone's stuttering or crash. It is also easier to run ordinary games, but the performance of the more general GPU may still be under a slight pressure when dealing with large-scale 3D games.
Endurance:
The Memeda 3N has a built-in 3500 mAh battery. Although the battery is not detachable, the huge battery capacity seems to be able to guarantee the endurance.
During the endurance test, we first fully charged the mobile phone, cleared the background, turned the screen brightness to the highest, played 1 hour of 1080p high-definition video, played 30 minutes of large-scale 3D games, and finally turned off the screen, plugged in the headset and played 1 hour of lossless music at medium volume. In the middle of the test, in order to prevent incoming calls from interrupting the test, we turned on the flight mode.
After playing 1 hour of high-definition video, the remaining power of the phone is 92%. After turning off the screen and playing 1 hour of music, the remaining power of the phone is 88%, After half an hour of large-scale 3D games, the remaining power of the phone is 80%, This result is very excellent, which means that a single full charge of Momoda 3N can support heavy use for about 3 days. If the screen brightness is flexibly adjusted, the endurance of a single charge can even reach more than 4 days, which is really rare for a 5.5 inch mobile phone.
Summary:
TCL Momoda 3N is a very excellent thousand yuan mobile phone. On the premise of ensuring that this mobile phone has no obvious shortcomings, TCL has equipped this mobile phone with a 1080p screen with excellent display effect and a 13 million pixel camera with the same excellent photo taking effect. Moreover, the mobile phone has solid workmanship, excellent grip feel, and a large battery to ensure its endurance, The Momoda 3N has become a very bright but practical excellent 1000 yuan machine. Although the night photography effect is ordinary and the GPU performance has no bright spots, it is not a disadvantage for a 1000 yuan machine.
