Newman button is a national fingerprint smartphone developed by Newman and Alibaba YunOS in deep cooperation and equipped with Alibaba's own operating system YunOS, which has been upgraded to fingerprint 2.0. Newman button is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 64 bit 1.5GHz processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM, equipped with fingerprint sensor, support fingerprint unlocking, fingerprint payment, fingerprint encryption and other functions, and equipped with 13 million central motor 0.5 second fast focusing rear camera, 5 million pixels with 86 degree wide-angle front camera, 5.5 inch 1080p high color gamut screen, provided by Youda, and 3060mAH large battery with ITQC fast charging technology. The operating system is the stable, secure and reliable YunOS3.0 independently developed by Alibaba. Newman button is a 1000 yuan smart phone focusing on fingerprint. At present, there are many mobile phone manufacturers. So what features of Newman button can we choose? Let's take a look at it together.

[Unpacking]

The white paper packaging box is used for Newman buttons. The design is very simple. There is a slightly raised button icon in the middle of the front. The left side of the icon is the logo of "Newman buttons". Because it is a trial machine provided by Zhike, there is also a "Zhike" label on the upper left side of the front. Here, thanks to this experience evaluation opportunity given by Zhike.

Some basic configuration parameters and manufacturers of the Newman button mobile phone are printed on the bottom left of the back of the packaging box, which can give us a general understanding of the configuration of this mobile phone.

The packaging box adopts a double-layer design. After taking out the outer packaging box, the first thing you see is the words "Know more about your thousand yuan fingerprint machine" on the red plastic label.

After opening the packing box, we can see all the accessories inside. The accessories only have a charging plug and a USB cable. In addition, there is a mobile phone film.

The smart charger supports 5V2A and 9V1.8A output. It is not small. The design of USB cable is also very interesting. The outer layer is transparent and the inner layer is white. I wonder if other noodle USB cables are also of this design.

[Appearance Design]

The front design of Newman buttons is mainly simple, and it is integrated with the black frame in the rest screen state. The black plastic frame is used as the frame, and the radian treatment is carried out to make the grip feel more comfortable. The front is equipped with a 1080p 5.5 inch screen, and the display effect is exquisite.

In the middle of the top of the screen on the front of the phone is the handset. On the right side of the handset is a hidden sensor. On the right side is a 500W pixel front camera. There is no Newman logo on the top of the front, which gives a very simple feeling.

There are three virtual keys at the bottom of the screen, from left to right: menu key, HOME key and return key. With white backlight, it is more convenient to use at night.

The back of the mobile phone is made of advanced impact resistant composite plate, and has been highlighted and textured. The visual effect is very good. At first glance, it will give you a feeling of glass panel, but the shortcomings are also obvious. The fingerprint phenomenon is very serious.

The 1300W pixel rear camera of the mobile phone is placed in the upper left corner of the back. There are two LED flash lights directly below the camera, and fingerprint identification is directly below the flash light. The fingerprint identification and rear camera are symmetrically designed. However, because fingerprint identification is placed on the left side, the most convenient way to unlock fingerprints is the left forefinger. If the machine is held by the right hand, it is not convenient to unlock fingerprints. This design still has some shortcomings.

The phone speaker is placed in the middle of the lower part and is designed to be flush with the back cover. If the phone is placed horizontally, the volume will be greatly reduced.

There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the phone. Next to the headphone jack is a noise reduction microphone jack. At the bottom near the right is a Micro USB jack. The left side of the jack should be a main microphone jack. I thought it was also a speaker jack, but it has nothing to do with speakers after testing.

The side frame of the phone is made of plastic and painted with metal texture, which is good visually. On the left side of the phone's border is the SIM card slot. The Newman button supports dual cards and dual standby, and also supports TF card expansion. This way, for users who are only accustomed to using a single card, another card slot will not be left idle. This design is more user-friendly.

The right side of the phone border is the volume increase/decrease button and the power button. The volume increase/decrease button is designed as a whole, and the buttons are concentrated on the left side, which is more consistent with the usage habits of most people.

In general, although there is no particularly amazing design in the appearance of Newman buttons, the overall workmanship of the phone is very good, and the thickness is only 7.7mm. At present, there are two colors available, black and white. Black looks more atmospheric, but the white back cover is slightly stronger than the black fingerprint. The middle frame and four corners of the phone are curved to make it more comfortable to hold. The integrated design also makes the phone look better.

[YunOS system experience]

Newman buttons are equipped with Alibaba's own operating system YunOS3.0, which is different from those optimized and customized systems based on Android. It is an independent operating system. YunOS is developed based on Linux, relying on Alibaba Group's experience in e-commerce and a powerful cloud computing platform. YunOS3.0 system is compatible with Android applications, because it is developed based on Linux as Android system, so you will not feel strange in use.

On the main page of the system, the default wallpaper has a fresh feeling. The system icons have been designed in card style. For those who are used to seeing the Android desktop, they may feel a bit crowded on the desktop. The system icons have been designed in card style, and the third-party application icons have also been optimized in card style, You can see that many Alibaba applications are preset in the system.

Swipe to the right on the system homepage to enter the life service interface. You can enjoy various convenient life services without downloading applications. You can also enter the "My Card Package" interface through the "My Card Package" option at the bottom of the interface. Add customized cards for short messages and express boxes as needed. Express tracking cards are very convenient, Just enter the express bill number and the system will automatically generate a tracking card.

The dial-up, call and SMS interfaces of the system are also very simple. The SMS interface does not include the automatic classification function, but you can directly call notes and calculators in the call interface, and you can quickly record and calculate during the call.

In the main interface of the system, you can enter the "Notification Center" interface by underlining it. In the "Notification Center" interface, you can press and hold the icon and move it to the left to conduct the notification "shielding" operation. You can also switch to the "Shortcut Switch" interface by pressing the button at the bottom of the interface. The icon on the "Shortcut Switch" interface adopts the large line icon style, and the design is simple and clear.

The system comes with some commonly used gadgets, such as calculators, recorders, radios, etc., which are convenient for daily use and have a simple interface design.

The built-in music player and video player not only support local playback operations, but also support online listening and viewing. Online music resources are from Xiami Music, and online video resources are from iQiyi. The speed of resource content update is also guaranteed.

The system has its own application center, game center and theme center, from which we can directly change themes, download applications and download games, avoiding the trouble of looking everywhere. Moreover, all the resources in the theme center are free. If you don't like the design of large card icons, you can change the theme of small icons here.

There is also a "security center" option in the YunOS3.0 system, where you can perform 12 functions, including system optimization, mobile phone acceleration, garbage cleaning, virus cloud detection and killing, traffic monitoring, harassment interception, payment security, permission management, mobile phone anti-theft, power saving mode, privacy space, and anti absorption fees. You don't need to download third-party optimization tools to meet the needs of daily life.

The system setting interface is divided into four categories according to the type of setting options: network, personalization, device and system. In addition to setting, you can also view the basic information of the mobile phone system and update the system.

[Features]

Fingerprint identification (addition): The biggest selling point in the publicity of Newman buttons is fingerprint identification, which uses the same chip of Huawei Mate7 from FPC in Sweden. The fingerprint identification speed is up to 0.6 seconds, and it has been upgraded to fingerprint 2.0. On the basis of unlocking and mobile payment, the fingerprint lock in private space (including private communication, private pictures, private documents and application password locks) Desktop drawer fingerprint lock, fingerprint photography and other functions. Enter the setting interface through "fingerprint identification" in the "setting" interface, and then add according to the system prompts.

Fingerprint identification (testing): After testing, the speed of fingerprint identification is still very fast. You can directly unlock when the screen is off. In addition, it supports the unlocking of encrypted applications through fingerprint identification, and the recognition speed is also very good. The method of applying encryption is also very simple. Enter the "Privacy Space" option interface of the "Security Center", where there is an "Apply Password Lock" option. After entering, select the application you want to lock.

Fingerprint payment: To make fingerprint payment, first open the "fingerprint password" in Alipay Wallet, enter the setting interface of Alipay Wallet, select the "account security" option, then select the "fingerprint" option, and set according to the system prompt. After the "fingerprint password" is enabled, we can make fingerprint payment. After actual testing, the recognition speed is still fast, which is much more convenient than gesture and bracelet payment.

Payment security protection: YunOS is an operating system independently developed by Alibaba, so it should be very experienced in "payment security". In "payment security", through Taobao account bodyguards, fund security bodyguards, online shopping software real-time protection and more payment protection, you can comprehensively ensure your payment security. Personally, if YunOS is used, at least shopping safety should be the most guaranteed.

Application Slide Card: There is also an interesting function in the YunOS3.0 system. You don't need to open an application, just draw the application icon, and you can operate or view the application content in the opened card. Of course, not all applications can be marked up. Only those with arrow marks in the lower left corner of the application card can be marked up quickly.

Screen recording: pull down in the main interface of the phone to enter the "Notification Center" interface, switch to the "Quick Switch" option interface, and then click "Screen Recording" to open the screen recording operation bar. Click the Start button to start recording. Voice input is also available during screen recording. In this way, when playing games on the mobile phone, you can record the wonderful process, or some special functions on the mobile phone can also be demonstrated through screen recording. I prefer this function.

Parallel space: click the "Parallel space" icon on the desktop to enter. For the first time, you need to set a graphic password. "Parallel space" and "personality mode" are two disconnected systems. The style in "Parallel space" is similar to the traditional Android style. No third-party applications are pre installed. It belongs to a relatively pure system. Moreover, this system also has certain security. Connecting to the computer with a data cable can only be used for charging operation, and the contents of the memory card cannot be accessed. Bluetooth does not support sharing function, which is also a private space.

[In depth experience]

Performance Score Test Although the era of competing for points has already passed, to some extent, running points can reflect the performance of a mobile phone. It seems that there is something wrong with not running a single point in the evaluation. The following two software are selected: Anthare and Master Lu. The Newman button mobile phone is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 64 bit 1.5GHz processor. An Rabbit scored 29236 points in the running test and Master Lu 30633 points in the running test, which is not high from the point of view, but it should be enough for daily use.

"Graph processing test" Since the above mentioned score test, let's continue to test the performance of mobile phones through some professional test software. NenaMark2 is a hardware accelerated benchmark test program for Android devices. It tests the graphics capabilities of mobile phones by demonstrating a real-time rendered image, including reflection, dynamic shadows, surface parameters, complex light modes, etc. The test result of NenaMark2 is 59.5fps. From this score, we can see that Qualcomm 615's graphics processing ability is good.

『 Browser performance test 』 The following is a simple test of the browser that comes with the system. Vellamo is a benchmark application developed by Qualcomm. It can measure the performance and stability of the machine browser, including Java script performance, rendering, networking, and user interface. Of course, the higher the score, the better the performance of the system's own browser and the better the web browsing experience. From the score, the system's own browser is very good. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the speed of the system's own browser, you can also install a third-party browser to solve the problem.

『 Mobile phone signal test 』 Since the Newman button uses a plastic middle frame, it should have no impact on signal reception. From the numerical point of view, the WiFi signal strength is very good, In fact, the 4G network signal mainly depends on the local coverage. The values I tested in various directions at home are basically between - 103dBm and - 108dBm, but when I go outdoors, the values will be between - 88dBm and - 100dBm. Of course, the data is only for reference. The actual use of the phone in these days is relatively clear.

『 Mobile phone standby test 』 I didn't want to release this. It was the eleventh day when I received the phone. I had a travel plan and forgot to take the Newman button after I turned it on. So it's time to do a standby test. Newman buttons are equipped with 3060mAh large capacity batteries. When the phone is only connected to the WLAN network and the phone card is not placed, the power is still 45% after six days of standby. It seems that there should be no problem after more than 10 days of standby. Of course, this test is only for entertainment. Who will keep the phone there after buying it.

『 Battery charging test 』 We have also seen some of the theoretical data testing. Now let's take some practical use tests. First, let's test the charging speed of the battery. Newman buttons support fast charging technology. Officially, it can charge 50% in 30 minutes. With the original 5V2A smart charger and USB cable, after 12 minutes of charging, the power is increased from 18% to 34%, and the charging speed is really fast.

『 Video playback test 』 Newman button comes with its own player. According to the test of rabbit video, the built-in default player of the system supports a limited format, and 2K and 4K videos cannot be played. By the way, I tested the power consumption of video playback. The trial system played online video, and the sound and brightness were all adjusted to 50%. After one hour of video playback, the power consumption was reduced from 69% to 58%, and the power consumption was 9%. This power consumption was very good.

"Game test" Newman button mobile phone uses a powerful and efficient Snapdragon 615 eight core 64 bit processor, which can adjust the working state according to the task intelligence to reduce the power consumption to a greater extent. Running large tasks, the eight cores are fully opened to ensure efficiency and smoothness. With 2GB operation memory and 16GB mass storage, the game loading speed is faster and more stable. Two slightly larger 3D games, "Fantastic Flying Car: Most Wanted" and "NBA 2K14", have been selected for the next test. We can see that the game picture of Fantastic Flying Car is clear and exquisite, and the white smoke from the drifting of Fantastic Flying Car is also very real. After more than ten minutes, there is no stuck in the middle; Then I tested NBA 2K14. The game picture was clear, and the expressions of the characters in the game could be clearly seen. It was also played for more than ten minutes, and there was no break. During the whole game, the hot area is concentrated in the upper part, and the palm will obviously feel hot, but it can not reach the hot feeling.

[Camera experience]

Newman's button mobile phone uses a 1300W pixel rear camera, which can focus quickly as fast as 0.5 seconds, with a 2.0 aperture, and ensure the amount of light in dark conditions. The camera's operation interface is very simple. There are three buttons at the bottom of the interface, from left to right: more options, shooting button, album. In "more options", filter, beauty, voice capture, countdown HDR、 Settings for scene mode, exposure, ISO, and white balance.

Due to the limited shooting level of individuals, the camera automatic mode is basically used for shooting here, which is more consistent with the shooting habits of most people. Of course, we can't ask too much for the shooting of the thousand yuan machine, we can only say that it is enough. The samples taken in the daytime are good. Sometimes there is overexposure in the automatic mode, and you still need to focus more manually. However, the night scene shooting is a little poor, and the noise is quite obvious. I hope you can continue to optimize it later.

Summary

After nearly a week's experience, generally speaking, the smoothness of the Newman button system is good. With the latest fingerprint 2.0 system, fingerprint recognition speed is faster, fingerprint payment is also very convenient, and the battery charging speed is indeed very fast, but in addition to the fingerprint recognition function and fast charging, there are fewer other surprises for us. Although the Newman button is equipped with a 1300W pixel rear camera, the image quality at night is not flattering, and still needs to be optimized; In addition, although the back cover of the phone is beautiful, it is easy to get fingerprints and scratches; The mobile phone is equipped with the YunOS3.0 system, which is my first contact with Alibaba's autonomous operating system. The smoothness of the system is good. At present, the price has dropped to 799. At this price, the cost performance is good.
