The R1C just released by OPPO may be the best looking mobile phone produced by OPPO for some time, but just like the reason that beautiful actors are inevitably included in the idols' catalogue, R1C also needs to prove that it is not a vase, and according to the actual performance of R1C, it is successful.

Appearance design and workmanship:

In fact, for a mobile phone with R1C as its positioning, its beautiful appearance is absolutely a killer, and OPPO naturally understands this. However, there are too many mobile phones with double-sided glass design now, and it is a bit difficult to be unique. The body color is too conservative to achieve the effect, and too aggressive will narrow the audience.

So OPPO chose white and dark blue (the front side of the dark blue model is black) as the color of the body. These two colors suitable for both men and women are actually conservative. So how to make R1C different? OPPO focused on the diamond pattern, and had to say that OPPO is beautiful in this move.

So the blue R1C instantly became an eye catching expert, and the gloss reflected under the light and sunlight was really easy to put it down. The low-key dark blue occasionally revealed a right bit of grumbling, and the visual effect was very good. As for the white model, the pattern was not obvious under the white background, so it looked not special enough.

R1C The body workmanship of the mobile phone is quite excellent, even better than that of foreign brand mobile phones at the same price. It is very solid. The metal middle frame with diamond cutting bright edges and the flat glass on both sides can make people feel that the mobile phone is at least very careful in workmanship and materials. The glass on both sides is slightly concave than the frame to ensure that it will not be scratched when placed flat, But to be honest, for this kind of mobile phone, you'd better go to double-sided film after you get it.

If there is any defect in the appearance of the R1C, it is that the border is slightly wider. With the addition of the metal middle frame, the border on the front of the R1C is still quite wide, and the width of the fuselage is also wider than that of the Nexus 5, which is also 5 inches.

The power switch of R1C has been moved to the left, which takes a little time for people who are accustomed to using the right thumb to control the power switch. Moreover, R1C does not provide the function of double clicking on the screen. However, R1C can be unlocked by pressing the right volume key and shaking it. Although it is not as elegant as double clicking on the screen, it is still a solution.

Screen performance:

The R1C screen's visual angle performance is excellent. There is no obvious color deviation when changing the visual angle, and it still performs well in the so-called "death diagonal play" angle.

The backlight control performance is still excellent, the backlight is even, and there is no light leakage.

The R1C screen's color is "cool and gorgeous", and the appearance is excellent. Some people may complain that the 720p screen resolution and 294ppi are both low. However, considering that the 1080p screen will exert more pressure on the processor and increase the power consumption, It is easy to understand that R1C uses the 720p screen, and the quality of R1C's 720p screen is quite good. Both brightness and contrast are very high, and there is no pressure to watch it in the sun. Therefore, R1C is worthy of praise.

photograph:

The rear camera of R1C uses the mainstream Sony IMX214 CMOS sensor, with a total number of 13 million pixels.

R1C's photo function is basically in line with its flagship N3, and its UI is the same. The ultra clear image quality mode of OPPO signboard has also been added. After the mode is turned on, R1C can output 50 million pixel photos at most.

This R1C also adds functions similar to the light field camera, OPPO calls this function "focus at your heart". After taking a picture, you can also select the focus again. However, the play method of changing the focus can only be played on the mobile phone screen. On the computer screen, there is only one picture. After clicking the screen, the picture refocuses slowly. It takes 1 to 2 seconds for the position clicked by the finger to become clear.

Normal mode sample:

In a well lit environment, the R1C shot samples have outstanding analytical power. The picture details are clear and sharp, the color is quite full, and the contrast is also quite high. After manually selecting the light metering point, the overall exposure of the picture can be very accurate. The biggest problem is that the white balance will be slightly warmer when shooting scenes with rich colors (such as red flowers and green leaves in the above figure), In addition, it is excellent. In an ordinary light environment, the brightness of the photos taken by R1C will be much higher than the actual brightness, and the noise will become visible, but remain within an acceptable range. For example, in the last sample, the ambient light is actually quite dim, but the photos taken by R1C still make the environment look very bright.

HDR mode proof sheet:

The HDR mode of R1C can greatly improve the performance of the dark details of the picture, but no changes have been made to the performance of the details of the highlighted parts of the picture. Therefore, when using the HDR mode to take photos, it is better to let R1C aim at the bright parts for light measurement, so that the overall detail performance of the picture taken will be much better than that taken at random. As for the composite quality of HDR photos, R1C performs well. The HDR effect of the first sample is obvious, while the second one is natural. The color of both samples is accurate, and there is no ghost phenomenon.

Ultra clear mode VS normal mode:

Among the two samples, the upper sample is shot in normal mode, with 13 million pixels, and the lower sample is shot in ultra clear image quality mode, with 50 million pixels.

Of course, in the ultra clear mode, the size of a photo file of 50 million pixels has reached more than 10MB. In order to ensure the browsing experience, we have compressed the sample in the ultra clear mode, and then used local magnification to show the details of the picture.

Enlarge the image center, and it can be found that the amount of detail in the center of the sample in the ultra clear image quality mode is slightly more than that in the normal mode, but the gap is not as big as 13 million and 50 million (after all, the total number of pixels of the sensor is 13 million pixels). The image center in the normal mode has obvious sharpening marks, while the image in the ultra clear mode is more natural, Therefore, OPPO's ultra clear image quality mode is still effective, and it is quite practical when shooting large landscapes. The resulting super macro mode is also quite good.

Double exposure mode:

In fact, this mode is simply to combine two photos into one photo, which can have a good effect if you give full play to your creativity. Anyway, let's have a look, and the playability is good.

System:

We are quite familiar with OPPO's ColorOS. The entire UI has made quite a few adaptations to the use habits of Chinese people, and its functions are also very rich. The directly built-in security center, software store and theme functions are very popular, and the entire UI is permeated with extraordinary exquisite animation effects.

ColorOS has also made a lot of efforts to beautify the home screen. Various weather effects make the whole desktop look very interesting. Although it is not practical, everyone likes the fun things, and they are really fun.

There are also various somatosensory functions, but it is a pity that there is no function of double clicking the screen to wake up the phone.

R1C, a pure background function, is extremely practical. It can directly control the background operation of the APP on the mobile phone. Programs that are not added to the white list cannot be automatically started and resident in the background. There are also practical things such as the theme function and the 9-grid contact search function.

Performance:

R1C uses the Snapdragon 615 processor, which is common on mid tier mobile phones at present, with 2GB RAM and 720p screen. The operation and animation effect of the entire system UI are smooth and smooth like silk. Even the Sina Weibo client, which is a long-standing difficulty, will have GPU load curve below the green line during operation (representing the overall frame number is higher than 60 frames), The application switching speed is also very fast.

However, the basic performance score is still necessary. As usual, GeekBench GFXBench、 Anthare and Sunspider wait and test the CPU GPU、 Comprehensive and browser performance.

GeekBench scored 594 points for single core and single core, 2131 points for multi-core, and 12 FPS and 25 FPS respectively in GFXBench's high-level 3D test. Anthare scored 31914, and Sunspider in Chrome browser was 1012.9 milliseconds. The overall performance is the normal Snapdragon 615 level, which is more than enough to deal with daily applications. It is also OK to play large 3D games.

Charging and endurance:

The 2420mAh battery in R1C doesn't sound like much, and OPPO hasn't added its own proud VOOC flash charging technology to R1C, The original power adapter of R1C is a standard 5V/2A output, so the charging speed is not as good as that of the model with VOOC flash charging technology. The charging time of 0~100 with the original charger is between 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours, which is reasonable.

In terms of endurance, we first charged the battery, then played a 1080p high-definition movie at the highest brightness for 1 hour, then played a large 3D game for 30 minutes at the highest brightness, and finally turned off the screen, and played half an hour of FLAC lossless music at 50% volume with headphones, during which the flight mode was maintained and Wi Fi was connected.

After the first test, the electricity of R1C remains 83%; after the second test, the electricity of R1C remains 69%; after the third test, the electricity of R1C remains 64%。

So, based on the above results, in the case of heavy use, The battery life of R1C can last for one day. If it is used normally, it can last for one and a half days. This battery life performance is the same as that of charging. It is not strong and can only be said to pass. However, R1C also has a super power saving mode, which can retain the basic functions of the phone when the battery is low. It is good for emergency use.

Summary:

So, this is R1C, a mobile phone that is very balanced in all aspects, at least without short boards. It has a very beautiful appearance, excellent body workmanship and a very smooth running system. For a mobile phone at this price, R1C is well done. In addition to its solid materials and unique, beautiful and elegant appearance, R1C will be very competitive in offline channels - after all, if you put a bunch of mobile phones in the store, people will always play with the one with good appearance first.

R1C is certainly not a phone without shortcomings. The wide border, the unskillful power button design, the lack of double click screen lighting function and the overly sensitive photo metering system are all shortcomings. Especially the last point, which seems to be common on OPPO's mobile phones, is often used to manually select the focusing light metering point when taking photos, making the overall exposure of the picture more appropriate, But these shortcomings are not fatal, and will not be the reason why the buyer does not consider R1C.
