As a player who likes playing with tablets, he has played with many kinds of tablets. The earliest time was in the early days of tablets. At that time, it was the world of single core and dual core tablets, with the highest popularity of the iPad. Then domestic Android tablets and foreign Android tablets also emerged in endlessly. At that time, the domestic flat plates were mainly Ruixin RK series and Quanzhi series processors. At that time, it was mainly a performance oriented era. At that time, in order to find a tablet that could play ultra clear video, it could be said that the major players, netizens and users had their heads broken. With the development of processor performance, major processor chip manufacturers have also found the market for mobile terminal tablets, and timely launched high-performance processors, especially Intel. With the strong technical backing of desktop processors, Intel has quickly adapted to the processors of mobile tablets, and the processors in Android have become better and better so far. It is not only powerful in performance, but also better in compatibility and optimization. It has good advantages in processor energy consumption and performance. The protagonist of this experience is the patriot X86 tablet with Intel processor.
Speaking of Patriot, this is my first time to experience the tablet of Patriot series brand. In the early years, I had some knowledge of the Patriot series mp4 and mp3. It was a brand with strong technical strength and high popularity in China at that time. Now, in the tablet, I have launched some very good tablets with the strategy of high-quality products, This Patriot X86 gave me a good impression when I started. The following is the details of the Patriot X86's appearance.
▲ Packaging: The package of Patriot X86 is relatively simple and conservative. It is similar to kraft paper packaging. The overall package is relatively large, and the kraft color is slightly less fashionable. What makes me complain is that the data line packaging box is really big. It is not suitable to install such a small data cable in such a large box. Of course, the packaging is more than investigation. After all, we don't play packaging every day, and the real truth is whether the tablet is easy to use.
▲ Accessories: The Patriot X86 accessories are complete and simple. It is standard equipped with data cable, charging head, warranty card manual, etc. At the same time, as a fun loving family, the Patriot X86 accessories also have fun loving stickers. The Patriot X86 is not equipped with earphones, which is better than nothing. If you add earphones, it will be better. The charging head of Patriot X86 uses a standard 5V 2A charging head, which can quickly charge the flat panel. The charging head and data cable are both white, in sharp contrast to the black panel.
▲ Appearance, I think it will be more beautiful.
The Patriot X86 uses dual cameras, with a 200W camera in front of the upper front. At present, the 200W camera has fewer pixels, which is not good for taking photos and is not as good as the mainstream mobile phone pixels today. But I think the 200W pixels in front of the Patriot X86 are more used for video chat, which can be comparable to ordinary webcams. Video chat is more convenient.
The lower part of the front of the Patriot X86 uses cylindrical radians at the same edge as the top, which is regarded as a differentiation of appearance. In today's homogenized appearance, there are certain differences. It can't be said that the appearance is very beautiful, but it is also very good.
The keys and jacks of the Patriot X86 are distributed on the left and right sides. It is convenient to use and performs well. The keys have moderate elasticity. I suggest adding a card slot cover at the tf expansion card slot to seal the expansion card, which is better than the exposed expansion card on the side of the flat panel.
The back of the Patriot X86 adopts sandblasting technology, which is similar to the matte texture and is not easy to leave fingerprints. At the same time, the dual speaker design at the bottom has certain advantages for sound reinforcement, but the dual speakers are distributed at the bottom. I think this design is slightly unreasonable. The speakers are placed one on the top and one on the bottom. In this case, the sound is transmitted to the ears through both sides, The sound performance will be better, and this unilateral speaker setting, although the double speaker holes are similar to the iPad in actual use, only the single speaker hole has sound, although the volume is enough, after all, the unilateral sound is transmitted to the ear, which has a certain impact on voice sensitive people. In the actual experience, the speaker performance is OK, the sound is clear, and you can hear clearly in a noisy environment.
The Patriot X86 is small and can be taken down with one hand. I prefer this size. Many people like the large screen. In fact, the screen is too large and the weight and volume are very large. It is not convenient to carry it outside. If you look at it at the bedside before going to bed, it is not as convenient as a small tablet. At the same time, for users with myopia like me, the degree of myopia is about 450. After taking off the glasses, such a tablet can see just the right distance from the glasses, which is very suitable for this tablet. It can clearly see the whole screen. If it is a 10 inch tablet, I must wear glasses, otherwise the distance between the glasses and the 10 inch tablet is not appropriate, and only part of the 10 inch tablet can be seen. So everyone has different needs for size preference, and I just like this size.
▲ Appearance summary: The overall appearance of the Patriot X86 is relatively fashionable, slightly inclined to business sense. The back of the fuselage is made of aluminum alloy frosting technology, which is comfortable to handle, not easy to leave fingerprints, and the size is more suitable for me. It is also convenient to carry out and play with the tablet before going to bed. In terms of the screen, the display effect of the high-resolution retinal screen is also very good. For screen and other experiences, The next part will take you to experience and appreciate in detail.
The screen can be said to be the face of a tablet. I think a good screen is even more important than the appearance. After all, when we play a tablet, the screen is the most informative and frequently used, and the screen is the most intuitive experience for the average player user. It is also a very important factor to judge whether a tablet is good or bad. The Patriot X86 didn't disappoint me. It is equipped with a retina level screen. The screen performance is at the top level among the tablets I have played. Although full paste technology is not used, the color performance is excellent. Now let's take a look at the screen effect that Patriot X86 doesn't have.
▲ Screen parameters: The Patriot X86 uses a 7.9-inch high split screen with a resolution of 2048X1536, and the ppi value is the same as that of the ipadmini2. At the same time, the screen uses the ips wide viewing angle screen, which is more expressive in color permeability, more bright and transparent in color, and easier to see the screen under high brightness or direct sunlight.
▲ Solid color display: in the solid color state, the Patriot x86 performs well, and the color is restored accurately. At the same time, the screen does not appear yellow or cold under the white background, while in the pure black background, there is a slight light leakage around the screen, but the light leakage is relatively small, making it difficult for the camera to take pictures. The light leakage is acceptable and will not affect the use. The screen performs very well in terms of pure color restoration and color accuracy.
▲ Gray scale display: It is obvious from the figure that the gray scale is too natural and clear, which is easy to distinguish. The gray scale display is very good, which is mainly due to the color performance under the IPS wide panel. The Patriot x86 screen supports at most 5 points of simultaneous touch. Although it is less supported than the 10 point touch screen, it is difficult for you to use 10 points to control the touch screen at the same time. Five touch is OK.
▲ Viewing angle: The Patriot X86 is based on the IPS wide view screen. As an IPS screen with today's mature technology, the viewing angle of the tablet is basically no problem. The viewing angle is generally poor on the tn screen. Under today's mature wide view panel, the viewing angle is no problem. The viewing angle around the Patriot X86 is of course very good, and there is no obvious color change and color deviation when viewed from the top, bottom, left and right angles.
▲ Screen fineness: under the condition of macro shooting, the screen font does not appear rough edges or blurry phenomenon. Compared with the human eye, the picture captured by the lens is generally more detailed. Even if the screen is shot at macro, there is no blurry phenomenon. As a high split screen retinal flat, the performance of the Patriot x86 is basically the same as that of the ipadmini2 in screen fineness.
▲ Appreciation of live screen shooting:
▲ Summary of screen effect: based on retinal resolution, the Patriot x86 tablet using IPS technology has excellent screen performance. For me and most users, this screen is a commendable screen. The screen is absolutely a very important parameter when playing with the tablet. A good screen will lead to a stronger visual experience. Patriot x86 is not stingy on the screen, It gives players a good screen experience.
There are many opinions about the performance score. Many people say that running scores has nothing to do with experience. In fact, I think it is irresponsible. Since running scores have nothing to do with experience, why are running scores attached to all media reviews? In fact, when the performance reaches excess, we will pay more attention to optimization and UI experience. Today, most Android tablets have excess performance. The performance experience can be summarized through the running score software. When it comes to running score software, Anthare is a performance testing software recognized by most people, and I personally like to refer to the performance based on Anthare's running score. It doesn't matter how high the performance is. It's enough. You can play mainstream games smoothly, watch ultra clear videos without cards, browse web pages smoothly, and experience various applications smoothly. I think this is the highest and best requirement for tablets. Let's first learn about the scores of several performance software of Patriot X86.
▲ Anthare V5.6: Anthare believes that I don't need to introduce it too much, and many people also understand it. But for novice players who don't pay much attention to understanding this software, their scores can only be used to compare with other tablets, and their actual performance is almost unknown. Then, through my subjective experience, I will give you a rough classification. Today, there are scores from 1W to 5W on tablets, Here is an example of Anthare V5.5. For a tablet with a score of about 1W, there is little pressure to watch online videos, browse the web, and watch videos below 1080p, and the smoothness is also rather sloppy. However, for large 3D games, the number of frames will be less, which can only be said that some large games can barely be run. The level of 2W to 3W can basically pass the mainstream 3D tablet mobile games. I personally think the gap is not so obvious if the score is more than 3W. Basic mainstream applications and large applications can run all over the world, and the gap is only the difference in the frame number of large games. The Patriot X86 has a score of more than 3W. Although it is not the flagship performance, for a 1000 yuan tablet, it can absolutely run various application experiences smoothly, which is superfluous for ordinary people. For the tablet with this score, I think we should pay more attention to the UI and optimization of the tablet.
▲ Stability test. The stability test takes a long time, and you can have an intuitive experience of its stability curve and battery temperature after the test. As shown in the figure below, the smaller the curve fluctuation of the upper green curve, the more stable the performance. The curve fluctuation in the figure shows that there is no major problem in the performance stability, and the fluctuation is small. The battery temperature is also very stable, basically maintained at 29 ℃ to 30 ℃.
▲ 3Dmark: The new Android 3Dmark is mainly for the test of hardware graphical performance, mainly for the test of large-scale 3D performance. It is mainly divided into three modes: Ice Storm Unlimited mode, Ice Storm mode and Ice Storm Extreme mode. Ice Storm Unlimited is mainly for the performance comparison between platforms, I simply measured the lower score of 14738. Ice Storm is the scoring mode used by mainstream mobile devices, and the Patriot X86 has reached the limit, that is, Ice Storm can no longer test the score upwards. Ice Storm Extreme scored 7469, and the result was relatively good. Although it was not at the top performance, it basically played all applications on the Android platform.
▲ HTML5 test: The test of HTML5 test is mainly a comprehensive evaluation of browser performance. The higher the score, the better the browser performance and the more supported functions. With a score of more than 10000 points, including the feeling in the actual experience, the Patriot X86 is very smooth in browser performance. Based on the current environment of excessive performance, The function and performance of the browser are basically very good.
▲ Video theory test: This is the video format theory test under Anthare. In fact, Intel processors are not as good as Raytheon Quanzhi and MediaTek chips in video format. In fact, the Patriot X86 is only in some very remote formats, and the video based test is mainly due to the player provided by Xiaomi system, In the use of various players, there is no problem in the format decoding. According to the comprehensive ranking scores, the Xiaomi tablet and the Patriot X86 are basically at the same level. It can be seen that the decoding problem is mainly related to the system player. Through the use of various players, the ability of decoding video is basically on par with that of ranking first.
NenaMark2 is a graphics performance benchmark software based on OpenGL-ES2.0, which is mainly used to test the game performance. The score of 55.2 is average, not very strong, but it is absolutely enough.
The result of Master Lu's score run almost coincides with that of Anthare. The performance of the score bit is basically between Xiaolong 600 and Xiaolong 800 compared with the same type of Qualcomm processors. The performance is not the strongest, but it is absolutely enough to run mainstream applications smoothly.
▲ Summary: My personal opinion on performance is that it must be sufficient, but not the strongest. Why? To take the simplest example, take two popular mobile phones, Meizu MX4 and Meizu Meilan NOTE, MX4 The performance of the MX4 is better than that of the Meilan NOTE, but there is a lot of gap in the endurance. I think this is intolerable. The performance has improved, and the endurance has decreased a lot. And even some applications MX4 is not as smooth as that of the Meilan NOTE. Therefore, the mature scheme has enough performance, which I prefer, while the Patriot X86 has enough mainstream performance, which can run almost all current Android applications, At the same time, the current scheme of Intel Core is also mature. So it performs well in use.
As for the playing methods of Android tablet, I don't think the following aspects are the main ones. Of course, some people may have their own special purposes, but for me, the applications needed are basically playing games, watching videos, surfing the Internet, reading books and other common applications. Compared with the tablet a year ago, this year's tablet is in video decoding, There is no need to worry about playing videos online, but the main question is the game performance. In the previous performance test, I have basically classified. There is little need to worry about the game performance if the score is more than 3W. As for the entertainment experience of the Patriot X86, I also plan to use it from the following aspects.
▲ Game experience: In order to understand the extreme performance experience of Patriot X86, I also played the 2G Grand Theft Auto game to experience the game effect of Patriot X86. In the trial game, the whole operation can only be explained smoothly, without feeling stuck, and the loading speed of the game is also good, without too much waiting, Grand Theft Auto has very high performance requirements for Android tablets, just like the PC terminal, it also has high requirements for PC configuration. I believe that when you can play this game, especially other large-scale 3D games, you don't have to worry too much about not playing it.
It can be said that the game Jipin Flying Car 17 is a game that many people like to play. It is well-known and has a very high download rate. The main reason is that the shocking game screen and simple operation mode make it easy to use and easily accepted by everyone. Of course, as a flying car game with a capacity of nearly 1G in Android board games, The top speed car 17 also requires good performance and configuration, while Del's performance on the Patriot X86 is also very smooth. The screen is sensitive to touch, and gravity sensing is also very sensitive. On this large screen, it is really good to play the game of flying cars.
▲ Video experience: Due to the function of wifi, online video has always been used by me, such as Youku's ultra clear mode, I often watch the ultra clear mode of pptv and high-definition online videos such as Sohu Video and iQIYI. A year ago, I was worried about whether the tablet could watch the ultra clear video online, but now I don't have to worry about it. I have downloaded many online video software, none of which is not fluent in ultra clear. It is very smooth to watch with my 30M network drag.
After installing Taijie Video, the Patriot X86 can be transformed into a small TV, which can watch many TV programs. This is also one of my common flat entertainment projects, especially watching football games. You can also watch it in a small place. Don't worry about turning on the TV to make your family sleep.
▲ Web browsing: Web browsing is certainly the most basic use function. The main reason is that at ultra-high resolution, the font display is still very clear and can be zoomed in and out, and the amount of information on a page is also very large. It is no problem to look horizontally or vertically. Relatively speaking, the amount of information is larger when viewed vertically. It's really good to use the tablet to browse the web and shop online.
▲ Reading experience: As for the reading experience, of course, it is also very smooth. Similar to web browsing, a page can accommodate a large amount of font information. Of course, I think it will be better to watch it after zooming in, so that there can be a certain amount of eye protection. As shown in the following figure, the font is placed in a large size, which looks comfortable, and the operations such as turning pages are smooth and smooth.
▲ Children's education: I found this in the Xiaomi app that comes with the tablet. There are several hugging education software. The Patriot X86 can also be used as a children's education tablet to download the corresponding Del APP. Although there may not be a lot of special learning tablet content, it can also play a role for children.
▲ Summary: So much has been said about the entertainment applications of the Patriot X86. In fact, it has achieved this performance score. With 2G memory, performance is no longer a problem. I think I am more concerned about whether the system UI of the Patriot X86 is easy to use, and how standby conditions are. Of course, the last experience will bring some heterosexual experiences such as UI.
I think I have a comprehensive experience of MIUI. After years of accumulation, the miui system on Xiaomi's mobile phone is basically the first echelon of Android UI, and I am most accustomed to using it. It integrates many practical applications. I am using Xiaomi's mobile phone, which is really attracted by Xiaomi's system, The MIUI system is installed on the Xiaomi tablet, which is exactly the first time Xiaomi has tried to develop the tablet MIUI system. In view of the good experience of the mobile phone system, I am also full of expectations for the Xiaomi MIUI tablet system, which is the main reason why I particularly want to play the Patriot X86.
On the premise that the performance of the tablet is not a problem nowadays, the differentiated tablet is the core issue for users to choose the tablet. The MIUI on the Patriot X86 has been optimized a lot on the Android basic system, which is also the core part of the user experience. There are many problems with the Android native tablet system, such as the background notification screen is lit, the network background has been pushing, resulting in a short system standby time, and so on. The MIUI system has been optimized in some details.
In order to have a good reflection, I use another tablet system to make a simple comparison with the MIUI system. Since the system has the hidden function of Endor, it will take a long time to find out. Here I will briefly introduce the comparison between MIUI and Android native systems.
▲ System overview: First, let's take a look at the system interface of MIUI. The MIUI tablet system interface is lazy and basically follows the design method of mobile phone icons, including that the pull-down menu uses the style of MIUI V6. Of course, the overall appearance is pretty good, and the shortcut keys of the pull-down menu are also very convenient.
▲ Contrast 1 setting interface: First of all, on the left side of the figure is the MIUI system carried by Patriot X86, while on the right side is the system of a tablet that is similar to native Android. It can be seen at a glance in the setting interface. The optimized MIUI uses black characters and white background. First, it has a certain improvement in aesthetics. At the same time, the secondary menu and the menu are displayed on the same interface side by side. The information is intuitive and it is convenient to switch menus.
The upper figure in the figure shows the MIUI system, and the lower figure shows a tablet Android system. The display of MIUI, such as intuition and interface aesthetics, is really good.
▲ Compare the two native file managers: In the native file manager, the MIUI system classification in the left figure is clear, the left and right classification and folder display are very intuitive, and it is easy for us to find the files we need, while a tablet file manager in the right figure is found according to the first level and first level menus, which reduces its practicability.
▲ Comparison of three native image library management: the MIUI system carried by Patriot X86 is classified orderly in the native image library, one is divided by date, the other is divided by folders, and at the same time, there is a cloud album for convenient photo storage, while the system of a tablet is a single folder browsing mode native to Android.
▲ Compare with four native background program cleaning: This is easy for users to understand. One click cleaning is often used on mobile phones. At present, most mobile phone systems are optimized to have one click cleaning background programs. However, Google native system does not provide one click cleaning, but needs to manually clean the programs one by one, as shown in the following figure, The MIUI system of the optimized Patriot X86 on the left can be cleaned with one click, while the MIUI system on the right is similar to the native Android system. There is no one click cleaning, and it needs to be cleaned manually.
▲ MIUI online resources: The convenience of MIUI also includes a large number of online resources, including notification ringtones, wallpapers, lock screen styles, and screensaver online music. Although these can be made up by later installation programs, as a user, after getting a tablet, the commonly used ones have been built and optimized, which is very convenient to use. You don't have to go to find one by one.
▲ MIUI system summary: the optimization of the system is easy to use and practical, The MIUI tablet system is not as versatile as the mobile phone MIUI system, but it is also the most commonly used tablet system. The ease of use of the system is the accumulation of each little bit of optimization. Through the above simple comparison, you can feel the MIUI system. Of course, there are many details that have not been introduced, and you will have to experience them yourself. In general, I prefer MIUI, which has a good interface and rich functions. After installing many applications, the standby time of the background is far better than that of many system tablets.
▲ Experience summary: The experience of Patriot X86 has come to an end here. What impressed me most in the whole experience is the screen effect of Patriot X86 and the experience of the MIUI system it is equipped with. It is very smooth. The performance of Intel Atom Z3735F processor also makes me feel very good, with low heat output and good energy saving. As for the overall use of entertainment games of the Patriot X86, I was not impressed, because I used everything that could be used, and there was no software that could not run. It was just a smooth tablet. I didn't find any discomfort during use. If you want to find defects, I think the appearance is average. Personally, I prefer the flat panel with ultra narrow borders and rounded corners. If you need a tablet with a price of 1000 yuan, you need to run various applications smoothly, have a good screen effect, and feel good when using it, the Patriot X86 is really a good choice.
