In the afternoon of August 26, 2015, 360 Qiku mobile phones held their first new product launch at Beijing 798 Art Center. Zhou Hongyi released three new Qiku mobile phones on the spot: the exclusive version, the flagship version and the youth version, all equipped with 360 OS mobile phone operating system. As a mobile phone designed for young people, the youth version of Qiku mobile phone was first launched. Although it is the lowest configuration among the three Qiku mobile phones, there is no compromise in appearance design and materials. The youth version of Qiku mobile phone is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080p full height clear screen, a 2.48mm narrow border frame, a screen proportion of 76.05%, an eight core 64 bit processor, and an all metal body, It is also equipped with FPC1021 fingerprint identifier, which is currently the most advanced and mature technology. Today, I bring you this first experience post about Qiku mobile phone youth version, hoping to give you a more comprehensive understanding of this mobile phone.

·Unpacking&Appearance·

The packaging box of Qiku Mobile Youth Edition is mainly white on the whole. There is only a red Qiku logo in the middle of the front, and two red Qiku labels on the two sides. It basically follows the packaging box design of Dashen note3. I hope Qiku Mobile can have its own exclusive packaging design.

There is a white label at the bottom of the back of the packaging box, on which are some basic configuration parameters and features of the youth version of Qiku mobile phone. This is also a common design method used by most manufacturers, allowing you to have a simple understanding of the mobile phone in advance.

Open the cover of the box, we can see the youth version of Qiku mobile phone inside. The 2.48mm narrow border adds up to 76.05% of the screen, which really makes people feel high in face value in the silent screen state.

Like most mobile phone manufacturers, the youth version of Qiku mobile phone is not equipped with earphones for us. The accessories in the box are: mobile phone warranty card, mobile phone instructions (card pin), charging plug and USB cable. The items inside are relatively secure.

The youth version of Qiku mobile phone is equipped with a 5V2A fast charger, which can quickly recharge our 3000mAh large capacity battery.

A youth version of Qiku mobile phone, a warranty card, a manual, a charging plug, a USB cable and a card taking pin are all the items in the box.

The youth version of Qiku mobile phone is 150.2mm * 75.7mm * 9mm in size. There is no pressure to hold it with one hand. The front is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080p IPS screen. The upper and lower borders are also well controlled. The rest screen is beautiful.

The back cover of Qiku Youth Edition mobile phone uses an all metal body design integrated with the frame. In order to ensure the stability of the mobile phone signal, the upper and lower sections are made of plastic material, and the middle part is made of aluminum magnesium alloy. However, the interface between metal and plastic is not completely flat. According to the official introduction, this aluminum magnesium alloy backplane was polished after 200 processes, including CNC cutting, injection molding, polishing, diamond cutting, anodizing, 3D three-dimensional sandblasting, etc. The metal texture of the back cover feels very comfortable, which is really incomparable with those of plastic back cover, which is worth affirming.

On the top of the screen, from left to right, there are light sensors, indicator lights, earphones and front camera. The indicator lights are hidden devices. The front camera is equipped with 800W pixel sensitive components, with a pixel size of 1.4 μ m, which can capture more light, making the picture delicate and vivid, rich in details. In addition to the new FotoNation 4.0 intelligent beauty, it can also automatically identify the age, so the self portrait effect is very good.

The bottom of the screen is designed with three touch keys. Personally, I prefer this design. From left to right, there are menu keys The HOME key and the return key, however, press the menu key briefly to enter the recent task management interface. For those who are used to pressing the HOME key for a long time to enter the recent task management interface, they may not be used to it when they first start. In addition, they do not support the function setting of user-defined keys. I hope this function can be updated in the future.

There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the end of the phone, a Micro USB jack in the middle of the bottom, and a microphone top jack beside the USB jack.

The youth version of Qiku mobile phone is equipped with a 1300W pixel F2.0 aperture rear camera that supports the rapid focusing of the PDAF for 01 seconds. It uses a 6P lens, which has stronger lens resolution, contrast intensity, and real and natural imaging. The SLR mode in the camera can take all kinds of beautiful macro photos, and also supports FotoNation Smart 4.0 beauty, which can customize excellent beauty effects. On the left side of the camera is an LED fill light, and on the right side is a noise reducing microphone. At the bottom of the camera is the FPC1021 fingerprint identifier. After the actual test, the response speed is relatively fast. It can perform fingerprint payment, fingerprint self taking, fingerprint unlocking, fingerprint opening privacy space, fingerprint application encryption and other functions.

There is a gray Qiku mobile phone logo in the middle of the lower back of the phone. Below the logo is the 360 logo, and below the logo is the speaker of the phone. There is also a cool logo below the speaker, which seems a bit complicated. The external volume of the speaker is not very large. If the phone is placed horizontally, the sound of the speaker will also be affected. However, the size of the phone's speaker can be adjusted, and the adjustment method will be provided later.

From the side, the thickness of Qiku Mobile Youth Edition is not thin, and the thickness of 9mm can only be regarded as a standard level, mainly because the 3000mAh large capacity battery increases the thickness of the body. Of course, it is not a good thing to blindly pursue the thinness of the mobile phone, and reasonable layout can make the performance of the mobile phone better.

There are two SIM card slots on one side of the phone. The youth version of Qiku mobile phone supports dual 4G and dual standby of Mobile Unicom. The top SIM1 card only supports Micro SIM card, and the bottom SIM2 can support Nano SIM card and Micro SD card, but only one of them can be used. The edge of the socket is polished very smoothly, and the workmanship is quite meticulous.

On the other side of the phone are the volume up and down keys and the power key. The edge of the key and the frame are closely combined, and the comfort is good. However, I feel that the feedback force of the key is slightly stiff, which can be slightly optimized.

The youth version of Qiku mobile phone adopts the so-called ID frameless design, which is very good when in the resting screen state or under the black background wallpaper. However, when entering the application interface, it is easy to be accused of being a big black edge, which can only be said to depend on personal preferences. You can't just look at the size of the frame of a screen, The key to the quality of a mobile phone is the smoothness of the system. Let me take you to simply feel the charm of 360 OS.

·360 OS Initial Experience·

Let's take a look at the 360 OS icon and the lock screen interface first. We can see the time and date display at the lower left of the lock screen interface. You can also click the camera icon at the lower right to quickly enter the camera interface. The system icons on the desktop have been redesigned, mainly using circular and square designs, The icons of downloaded third-party applications are designed with square icons.

In the main interface of the mobile phone desktop, there is an option of "Variable Wallpapers". Click it to quickly switch wallpapers, which is very convenient and practical. However, most wallpapers here are black.

Next, let's take a look at the dialing and SMS interfaces. The dialing interface is mainly designed in a simple way. All the differences from other systems are that there is an option of "intercepting calls" on the left side of the dialing button. Click it to enter the intercepting phone list interface. The SMS interface is also mainly designed in a simple way, so I won't say much about it here.

In the main interface, the system has pre placed a "one button cleaning" icon for us. Click it to release the memory. You can also enter the recent task cleaning interface by briefly pressing the "menu key" of the mobile phone virtual key, and then clean the background applications individually or completely.

Now let's take a look at the drop-down notice bar interface. There are many shortcut keys. The icon is designed as a circle. The overall design is simple. The background of the shortcut option icon will turn blue. Click the button on the top right to quickly enter the "Settings" interface.

On the system desktop, we will also find a "theme" option. After entering, I can change the theme, wallpaper, ringing tone and font. However, there are few resources now, and some are still charging resources. I hope that more theme resources can be enriched in the future.

Some of the commonly used gadgets in 360 OS are simple and practical, such as calculators, radios and compass phones. These gadgets can meet your daily needs.

Now let's go to the "Settings" interface. The settings interface is divided in detail according to the role of the options. It is divided into six options: network and interception, common settings, notification and permissions, security and privacy, account and local application settings. You can quickly find the options you want to design according to the classification.

There is a "General" option in the "Common Settings" in the "Settings" interface. After entering, we will see a "About Mobile Phone" option. Here we can view some simple configuration information about Qiku Mobile Youth Edition.

There are many features in 360 OS, among which fingerprint recognition is a major feature of Qiku Mobile Youth Edition. You can quickly enter the fingerprint management interface by setting or using the fingerprint icon on the desktop. Through actual testing, the sensing speed of fingerprint recognition is still very correct, which is worth affirming.

In addition to fingerprints, 360 OS also has features such as security, cold storage, property isolation system, heat source tracking and privacy space. Personally, the most distinctive feature of 360 OS should be the security and property isolation system, which needs to be shared after in-depth testing.

The security center of Qiku Mobile Youth Edition uses 360 security center, which is specially customized for 360 OS. It is different from those in app stores. The functions in the security center are relatively comprehensive, including six options: cleaning acceleration, traffic monitoring, harassment interception, secure payment, permission management, and mobile phone antivirus, which can protect mobile phones comprehensively.

The 360 OS system can also be updated constantly, but at present, the update is still in the status of irregular push. Personally, if it can be changed to regular update, it should be easy to be accepted by users. I hope 360 OS can be more and more perfect in the continuous optimization.

Finally, we attach several samples of the camera of Qiku Mobile Youth Edition. They were taken using the mode in the camera. They were not manually adjusted, and they are basically set automatically by the system. Here, we simply conducted the next test, and will enter the depth test later. In addition, the image is just a simple size modification, without other beautification operations. You can make a reference for the imaging effect.

·Summary·

It has been several days since I got the youth version of Qiku mobile phone, and I have been using it for several days. Generally speaking, the fluency is good. Only when I quit the app, I occasionally feel a bit stuck; After restart, the used memory is about 800M. After multiple applications are started, the used memory will quickly reach about 1.4G; The response speed of fingerprint identification is very fast. The rest screen status can be directly accessed by fingerprint, and Alipay fingerprint payment is also supported. Here, I only have a simple experience of some functions in 360 OS, many of which have not yet had an in-depth experience. After I have had an in-depth experience for some time, let me share with you some experience and skills about some special functions in 360 OS.
