Hammer Technology, an emerging Internet mobile phone company in 2014, is controversial because of its founder Luo Yonghao. Luo Yonghao's various bombardment marketing of microblog will disgust many people and make Mr. Luo's reputation far higher than that of Hammer Technology. This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon. If you look at the products alone, T1 is definitely one of the most innovative and best used mobile phones in 2014. When all domestic flagship mobile phones focus on cost performance, the hammer T1 has set a price of 3000+, which really makes many people refuse it. Judging from the subsequent price drop, Lao Luo himself has to admit that T1 is a failed product in terms of sales.

In 2015, Lao Luo kept a low profile, which is sometimes terrible. Just like the tranquility before the storm, Mr. Yiluo's personality must be to endure hardships, secretly save energy and hold a big move. Sure enough, in August 2015, Hammer Technology released a new series of mobile phones - Nut Mobile Phone (the legendary little hammer mobile phone). Lao Luo is still extremely narcissistic about the beauty of his mobile phone. The beautiful nut mobile phone is not like the powerful one. It was designed by Li Jianye, the former design president of Philips Asia Design Center. It no longer has double-sided glass and three controversial physical buttons, There is no longer a price of 3000 yuan. At 899 yuan, Lao Luo directly inserted a sharp knife into the hinterland of the thousand yuan machine occupied by Hongmi, Meilan and Glory, and hit his face again. What about the good feelings? 899, do you still have feelings? With this question, follow Bug to have a good experience with this new Hammer mobile phone. Thank you very much for this nut mobile phone experience opportunity provided by Lei Feng.

Unpacking

In addition to the phone, Lei Feng.com also presented a back cover of the nut phone. The nut phone can automatically change the theme of the phone according to the back cover style, which makes Xiaochong very excited.

Luo has never refused to admit that he is a follower of Apple. When T1 was released, he only evaluated himself with the second best mobile phone in the world. From the perspective of the packaging style of nuts, it also adds the design elements of Apple mobile phone packaging. The white main body of the cardboard packaging box, the front of which is the back of the nut phone with the main texture design, and the side of which is added with the logo of the nut brand. The font design is very artistic. On the back is product information such as phone configuration.

When opening the box, you can see the back of the nut phone. It can be seen that Hammer Technology has focused its design on this textured back cover. When most mobile phone manufacturers want to make plastic similar to metal texture, the hammer is paranoid that plastic should have plastic appearance. With the design of texture and bright colors, nuts are destined to be the model of young people, especially women. It may also be unacceptable to many elderly users.

If you remember correctly about the mobile phone accident insurance business, the first one launched in China is the Hammer T1 mobile phone. Since the Hammer launched this business, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have learned from it. This year, many thousand yuan mobile phones have brought mobile phone accident insurance, and Nuts is no exception. Nuts can be directly purchased through the official website or mobile phone settings within three days of activation of the mobile phone, which is much more user-friendly than some manufacturers who choose to purchase only by mobile phone. The accident insurance of 99 yuan includes a free host replacement and two repairs.

The random data cable winding box was not canceled because of the 1000 yuan phone. In this respect, we can see that the hammer can be careful. The data cable and power adapter are very fine, and the power adapter also adopts the texture design consistent with the back of the phone. Unfortunately, the nut phone did not bring a fast charging head. For its charging efficiency, the author has lost a big "?" 。

Appearance design

The front of the nut phone is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080P TFT display screen, and the surface is covered with Corning Gorilla III glass. The front design is more or less like an Apple phone. It is pure and simple. The popular narrow border or borderless ID design has not been added. The border plus the black edge on the screen actually reaches 4.45mm. It is said that the 3mm border can run a horse, and the nut border can probably drive a plane. The overall size is as good as that of the iPhone 6 PLUS. It's a little tiring for a man to hold it with one hand. Female friends should operate it with both hands.

The simple design of hammer T1 is inherited on the top of the screen. The earpiece, light and distance sensors are integrated into a small slot with very small space. The small slot is not on the same plane as the mobile phone glass, which causes the small slot to be prone to fouling. Next to it is a front camera with 500W pixels and 2.2 apertures.

The bottom of the screen is no longer the controversial entity button on T1, but three virtual buttons are used to make the phone more simple and beautiful. In order to highlight their feelings or differences, Nuts set three virtual buttons into three small dots, which makes users who use Nuts mobile phones for the first time feel embarrassed. The home button in the middle is good to say, which is the return and which is the menu. Well, if you don't take some fancy, it's not called a hammer. The three small dots are equipped with LED lights, which are hidden deeply when the screen is black, and will light up when the screen is lit or when charging. The brightness of the key light can be adjusted in the phone settings.

The side of the phone is covered with a thick layer of plastic. The white plastic frame has a strong plastic smell and lacks some texture. Two very controversial side keys of hammer T1 are reserved on both sides. The sound and screen brightness of the keys are adjusted by default. The left key can be set according to personal usage habits, or the personalized function of simultaneous pressing of the keys on both sides can be set. The design of the two side keys is really different. The author doesn't like it very much, but hopes to put the power key on the side to be practical. Although the side keys can be set to light and lock the screen, the actual experience is not good because the keys are too stiff.

In addition to a power button, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microphone on the top of the phone. The radian of the mobile phone has a taste of MOTO series. There is a Micro USB2.0 interface on the top of the phone and speakers on both sides, which can not be considered as two speakers. In fact, there is only one speaker in the phone, which is the solution of double openings for symmetry.

The back of the nut has a certain radian. In addition to the distinctive texture back cover design, the top of the back is a 1300W pixel ƒ/2.2 aperture Samsung main camera. On one side of the camera is the flash, on the other side, I will go, and on the other side is what, stubborn Lao Luo added a rear cover opening just for symmetry. The logo icon of the hammer is in the middle of the back, and there is a notch at the bottom to open the back cover. However, the design of the notch is too small, and the back cover card is too tight. If you use your fingers to pick, you should not scratch your nails.

Like other thousand yuan mobile phones, Nuts also supports dual card and dual standby, and both card slots support Micro SIM cards. However, only the location of the primary card supports the 4G network of China Mobile/Unicom, and the secondary card only supports GSM. Since the card slot is located inside the phone, the back cover needs to be removed, so if you want to switch to 4G Internet access in Unicom/Mobile, it will be inconvenient. Although it is a thousand yuan machine, nuts have NFC function, which must be praised for its convenience.

As for the different colors of the back cover can realize different themes of the phone, the recognition of the theme is realized by combining the different positions of the back cover and the four metal contacts in the body.

The appearance design of the nut mobile phone is young, fashionable, and the color matching is lively. The workmanship also inherits the preciseness of the hammer T1. Because of the detachable rear cover and white color matching of the frame, the gap between the rear cover and the middle frame looks obvious. There are also obvious gaps between the front glass panel and the frame, which affect the appearance of the phone.

Screen performance

Nut mobile phone is equipped with 5.5 inch 1920 × 1080 resolution IPS screen, which has 80% NTSC wide color gamut performance. The color accuracy control is excellent, and the color is bright but not dazzling. 401PPI, the picture is exquisite and transparent. The visual angle also reaches the level that the mainstream IPS screen should have. It can be said that this screen of nuts is completely comparable to the domestic flagship at the level of 2000 yuan.

However, there is still a certain degree of light leakage at the top of the screen, which affects the user's visual experience. If the quality control requirements are higher, the screen performance can give a very high score.

Camera performance

Nuts are equipped with a Samsung main camera with 1300W pixels F/2.2 aperture, so there is no doubt about the analytical power. Now the camera of the mobile phone has sufficient light, and the daytime performance has basically reached a very good level. Nuts are no exception. When shooting outdoors in the daytime, the blue sky is pure and the noise is small. The white balance also basically restores what the human eye sees. However, sometimes strange light spots appear, and the loss of details is also obvious in dark light, as shown in Figure 3 below.

If the performance of the nut camera is acceptable in the daytime, it is disappointing at night. In the automatic mode, the brightness of the photos taken by the mobile phone is very low. The photos taken outdoors and in darkness are invisible, and the images are smeared more. Indoor dark light, average shooting brightness, and too much noise.

performance testing

Nuts are equipped with 64 bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, eight core ARM Cortex-A53 architecture (four 1.7 GHz cores+four 1.0 GHz cores), Adreno 405 GPU, and TSMC's 28nm technology. Equipped with 2GB running memory, it runs smoothly. In particular, the performance of the game is not difficult for most games. The author tried two games with high configuration requirements, namely, Top Speed Car and Westward Journey Subduing the Devil 3D. They ran smoothly without frame dropping, but the loading was slightly slow when Westward Journey Subduing the Devil 3D was opened.

When I swipe the WeChat circle of friends, I don't know whether it is a system problem or other reasons, but there will still be obvious stuttering, including microblogging. After clicking on the screen, I always feel there is a slight delay, which needs further optimization by the hammer.

The heat of the phone is normal. After a long game, the maximum temperature in front of the phone is at the top right of the screen, about 40.4 ℃, and the maximum temperature in the back of the phone is 42.1 ℃ within the camera range. Conform to the normal heating performance of Snapdragon 615 processor.

Endurance performance

Nut mobile phone is equipped with a 2900mAh battery. With the optimization of the hammer system, the standby performance is excellent. When WIFI is turned on and the network is in normal standby for 8 hours, the power consumption is only 2%. The performance of other applications such as daily use, making phone calls and swiping is also good, but the power will drop a little quickly during the game. On the whole, the nut mobile phone for me, a moderate player, can hardly escape the fate of charging every day.

Due to the lack of support for fast charging technology, the author is somewhat disappointed with the charging effect of nuts. It takes more than 2 and a half hours to fully fill 1% - 100% of the actual measurement. This performance is really unsatisfactory.

system

Nuts are equipped with Smartisan OS 2.0 system. Compared with other deeply customized Android systems, Smartisan OS's "nine grid", "pseudo materialization" and "fluency" have gradually been recognized, and I think it can be ranked in the top three of domestic mobile phone systems in terms of system experience. Compared with MIUI, Smartisan OS is more pure and clean, and the system occupies very little memory. Physical style design and mobile phone setting experience can bring a strong flavor of IOS.

Smartisan OS 2.0 It is an in-depth customization based on the Android 4.4.4 system. Smartisan OS really lags behind the system. I am used to using the MIUI7 system based on Android 5.1.1. Nuts are really slow in application opening speed and touch experience.

One of my favorite humanized applications of Smartisan OS 2.0 is the screenshot function. After the screenshot is finished, the user can put on the mobile phone border, and can also select the range of screenshots he needs. This is really a very humanized setting. The other is the note. The note in Smartisan OS should be the most powerful note I have ever seen. It can not only edit text, but also insert pictures. It can even be used to complete a simple document. After editing, they can also share in the form of text, pictures and web pages, which is really practical and convenient in function.

In order to take care of left-handed users, nut mobile phones also add left and right hand options, which can be designed according to their own usage habits. The left and right hand options are not only the switch of the side key function, but also the return of the virtual key on the front panel and the switch of the menu key position. Smartisan OS is really in the forefront of mobile phone systems in terms of user experience and humanization.

Problems or suggestions

one . Downloading applications in the app store often fails to download and install, and it requires more than 3 consecutive attempts to install successfully.

two As the latest mobile phone, the wireless network only supports 2.4G and does not support 5.0G, which is really disappointing.

three 、 The smoothness of the Smartisan OS system in the Android 5.0 era does not have many advantages. The image of "stuck" and "operation delay" occasionally exists. We look forward to updating the new version as soon as possible.

four The camera experience needs further optimization.

Summary:

A year ago, when Lao Luo was satirizing the low-end thousand yuan mobile phones and complaining about the phones that were open and stay, perhaps Lao Luo himself did not expect that he would be slapped a year later. After the failure in the sales of Hammer T1, Lao Luo finally stopped being arrogant and entered the 1000 yuan machine market dominated by Xiaomi, Meizu and Huawei. The price of 899, the good hardware configuration, and the still loving Smartisan OS system may make the nut mobile phone win its own field among Hongmi, Meilan, and Glory. I hope that the production capacity will not drag the hammer down.
