Before that, we have compared the glory quad core 1G version Detailed test I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the strength of the Glory Four Cores. The cost performance ratio of Glory Quad Core is largely derived from the 2G version later launched. Just imagine that you can buy a phone with Quad Core and 2G memory for 1888 yuan, which is very powerful for many other brands. But is large memory really necessary for ordinary users? This article will test the practicability of 2G memory to see how far 2G is from the mainstream 1G memory.

Appearance comparison

The test models are of course the 2G and 1G versions of the Glory Quad Core. First, let's take a look at the appearance of the two phones. It happens that the two glory quad cores I got are black and white, which will be more intuitive when compared together. There is no difference between the front screen panel and the back screen panel, but the materials from the border to the back cover are different. The black version is a smooth dark gray frame with a black matte texture back cover, while the white version is a silver matte frame with a white piano paint back cover. The white version is slightly more "plump". For more details about the Glory Quad Core, see Huawei Glory Quad Core Love Edition Evaluation (It should be noted here that both 1G and 2G versions are black and white).

The rear cover materials of the two are quite different

The touch of keys is also different

performance testing

testing environment

Mobile phone: Glory quad core 1G and 2G versions

System: Emotion UI internal beta based on Android 4.1.2

We will not introduce some software and hardware features of the Glory Quad Core here. To get to the point, let's see how the 2G version has improved compared with the 1G version (if you want to know more about the performance of K3V2, you can see Huawei Glory Quad Core Love Edition Evaluation and )。

Running score test

Here are some simple theoretical tests, and the results are not unexpected, There is no difference between 2G glory quad core and 1G glory quad core, more just test error 。

Anthare Preview 3.0, a new version of running score software that has recently emerged, is more reliable than the previous Anthare. Because the 3D test of OpenGL ES 2.0 has been added, the graphics performance test is no longer as difficult as before. The advantages of high-end GPU can be well demonstrated in this test. Of course, there are still many areas to be improved.

Geekbench， This doesn't explain much. The running scores of 1G and 2G are the same.

GLBenchmark， This is also the GPU test software commonly used by the author, and the scores are the same.

Actual test

After a round of theoretical testing, it seems that the gap between the two is not big, then what will the actual test result be? First, let's look at the remaining memory used by both, The 1G version is basically more than 200 M, and the 2G version fluctuates between 1100 M and 1400 M It can be seen that the latter has a lot of memory.

The test here uses the form of video, and the test items are some software frequently used by users, such as microblog, browser, games, etc. The test of the game is quite rigorous, and three games are opened at the same time, Finally, it was found that 1G committed suicide under relatively high load 。

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary users to open three games at the same time under normal circumstances. In addition, the author has found an interesting phenomenon that the glory quad core 1G version will have a suicide process when the remaining memory is more than 200 MB, that is, the "threshold" of its suicide process is relatively high, and there will be no real depletion of internal memory.

summary

For most users, 1GB of memory is enough It will not become a bottleneck in daily use. The test here is just an extreme case, and the system used here is only the Emotion UI of the internal beta version. There is still room for optimization in the allocation of system memory. Of course, the larger the memory capacity, the better. The advantage of 2G memory is obvious. When the 1080P standard mobile phone screen comes out next year, 2G memory will also become the standard configuration.
