Huawei Glory 7 is a 2000W pixel rear camera with an all metal body, fingerprint recognition 2.0, and phase focusing support. It is a great improvement over the previous generation of Glory 6. I have always wanted to have the opportunity to experience this mobile phone in person. Since the experience time is relatively short, I may not share too much with you. Today, let's begin with a brief introduction to the appearance of Huawei Glory 7 and Huawei EMUI3.1 system.

Unpacking&Appearance:

▼ Huawei Glory 7 is packed in the classic blue box of Glory, with a big "7" in the middle and a silver "honor" below The logo, I remember that when it was first launched, it was a rectangular barreled design. This should be due to the increase in demand and the replacement of the classic simple packaging design. Personally, I prefer the packaging design at the beginning, which is more personalized.

▼ In addition to the standard charging plug and USB charging cable accessories, there is also a Huawei mobile phone membership gold card and a 100 day mobile phone broken screen insurance gift package in the box. It looks full, but most of them are just service items. It's better to give users more discounts on price.

▼ Huawei Glory 7 is equipped with a 5V2A output charging plug, but it is not a fast smart charger. However, the 2A high current output can also minimize the phone charging time.

▼ Huawei Glory 7 uses a 5.2 inch full HD negative LCD screen, and the display effect is still very good. The extremely narrow frame is added, and the rest screen is also beautiful. We can also see from the figure that the lower part of the screen is slightly longer than the upper part. According to the official introduction, the upper and lower parts are set with the golden ratio, but I think it is better to have the same upper and lower parts, I feel that the lower large blank area is a little big.

▼ On the top of the front screen of the phone, from left to right, there are sensors, front cameras, earphones and LED flash lights. An LED indicator light is sung on the right side of the long earpiece, which only lights up when it is charged or in the status of message reminder. The biggest feature is the LED flash light on the right side of the earpiece, which can be used to fill the light when taking pictures at night to make the selfie more beautiful, This design is very good.

▼ Huawei Glory 7 uses the built-in virtual key settings, so the lower part of the screen is still empty. How can I say this? My personal preferences are different. For people who are accustomed to using physical virtual keys, they may not be used to it at first, but they will not feel uncomfortable when they are used to it. The built-in virtual buttons on the screen can be hidden, and will not affect the display of the screen. The key is personal preference.

▼ The back of the mobile phone adopts a three-stage design. The upper and lower ends are made of plastic, and the middle is made of aluminum alloy. This is also a common design method for many all metal all-in-one mobile phones at present, because metal still has a great impact on signal transmission. This design can ensure the reception of mobile phone signals. Although the metal back cover looks frosty, the surface is actually smooth, and the plastic parts at the upper and lower ends are anti-skid. The raised design of the "honor" logo on the back cover is also anti-skid.

▼ In the middle of the back of the phone near the upper end is a 2000W pixel rear camera. The Sony 1MX230 sensor supports the PDAF phase focusing. With Smart Image 3.0 and rich photography modes, the imaging effect is good. However, the camera protrudes from the back cover and has a silver metal band around it, It will take some time to flatten the 2000W pixel rear camera. There are two LED flash lights on the right side of the camera, and fingerprint identification is directly below. It has been upgraded to fingerprint identification 2.0 system.

▼ There is an infrared emission hole, a 3.5mm headphone hole and a noise reduction microphone hole on the top of the phone, and a Micro USB connector is in the middle of the lower part. There are 6 speaker holes on both sides of the connector, but after testing, only the left speaker can sound, and the right speaker is just for decoration.

▼ The mobile phone uses a metal frame, and the metal cutting edge near the back cover is very large. Although it is beautiful, if you do not wear a case, fine scratches are inevitable after a long time. There is a SIM card slot above the left border of the phone. It is designed with a single card holder and two card slots. It only supports the Nano SIM card. Slot 2 can also support the expansion of Micro SD card. There is a small key under the SIM card slot. This is the smart key of Glory 7. In fact, the smart key is directly integrated into the phone without occupying the headphone jack.

▼ The right side of the phone border is the volume plus/minus button and the power button. The volume plus/minus button is designed as a whole, which is more consistent with the usage habits of most people. The power button also uses the innovative concave convex design and the CD stripe light sense design. The visual effect is very good. Personally, it is better to use this design together with the volume button and smart key, which can also increase the overall aesthetic feeling.

▼ So far, we have finished appreciating the appearance of Huawei Glory 7. Huawei Glory 7 uses a metal integrated body. Compared with the plastic back cover of the previous generation, it has all been enhanced in both visual and practical aspects. In addition, it has also added functions such as infrared and smart keys, and its overall performance has been improved. However, the back cover feels a little slippery. A large metal trimming under the frame is easy to scratch when in daily use. The rear camera protrudes a lot from the back cover, which has a slight impact on the overall beauty. I hope to continue to optimize it.

System experience:

▼ After looking at the appearance, let's continue to experience the EMUI3.1 system of Huawei Glory 7. In addition to the appearance and hardware configuration, a good mobile phone operating system is also very important. Emotion UI is an emotional user interface developed by Huawei based on Android, which has been updated to EMUI3.1. Now let's have a simple experience. The icons in the EMUI3.1 system are square icons. Most of the system icons have been redesigned, but some third-party icons are just added with an outer border. You can slide left to enter the "Joy Read" interface, where you can subscribe to some of your favorite content. Each time you enter the system, you will push the new content you subscribe to.

▼ The lock screen interface of the mobile phone system supports the magazine lock screen. After a simple setting, the lock screen wallpaper will be different each time. Slide up the lock screen interface, and you can quickly call small tools such as the recorder, flashlight, and counter.

▼ The mobile phone also has its own theme, application market and game center, which is rich in content, and can facilitate people to quickly change the theme of the mobile phone, download applications and games.

▼ The system's own music player and video player are also very rich in functions, all of which support online music listening and search functions, and the music player can also listen to music and recognize music.

▼ The mobile phone has its own butler function, which is relatively comprehensive. It can carry out eleven management optimizations for the mobile phone, including acceleration optimization, space cleaning, harassment interception, power saving management, traffic management, notification center, permission management, auto startup, suspended window management, virus detection, and no disturbance.

▼ Among the mobile phone's own application options, we will also find a "sports health" option, which can record our daily walking steps, energy consumption and movement track. It is very similar to our sports bracelet function. Of course, this can only be achieved by carrying your mobile phone with you.

▼ The "Yellow Pages" function has been placed in the "Contacts" interface of the mobile phone, which can be accessed through the "Life Service" option at the top. However, not all cities can use it at present. For example, Laiwu, Shandong, where I live, has not been opened yet, and still needs to continue to optimize.

▼ Huawei Glory 7 also has a "smart remote control" function. After learning from the infrared transmitter on the top of the phone, you can control TV, air conditioner, DVD, set-top box and other devices, which is very similar to our previous universal remote control.

▼ The fingerprint function on the mobile phone is also very rich. In addition to the most basic fingerprint unlocking, it can also carry out the operations of "access security cabinet" and "access application lock". After detection and testing, the unlocking speed is still very good.

▼ Huawei Glory 7 also has a special "Smart Key", which needs to be set in conjunction with the "Smart Function" in the setting options. You can set different functions by clicking, double clicking and long pressing.

▼ Finally, let's briefly learn about the camera interface of the mobile phone, and enter the camera interface. At the bottom of the interface, we can see five options: streamer shutter, beauty clothing, photography, video recording, and food. The photography options also support a variety of different photography modes.

Deep test:

"Performance score"

▼ Of course, the era of competing for points has already passed. However, the running of points can reflect some performance of mobile phones from some aspects. First, let's take a look at the performance of this Huawei Glory 7 mobile phone in Anthare and Master Lu. We can see that the running score of Anthare is 49214 points, and that of Master Lu is 47048 points. From this, we can see that the performance of Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 935 processor is also good. Of course, there is still a gap compared with Qualcomm 810 chip.

『 Video test 』

▼ The following is a simple test of the video playback ability of this mobile phone. The video player provided by the system is still very powerful. According to the test results, most of the video formats can be supported, but 2K and 4K video are not supported. Moreover, the player provided by the system also supports online video viewing, and the content is updated at any time, The most important resources are free resources, which can meet our daily viewing needs.

Game Test

▼ Mobile games can also reflect the performance of this mobile phone on the one hand, but most of the current mobile phone hardware configurations are in surplus, and some large-scale 3D mobile games can be easily controlled even if they are 1000 yuan. Here, two large-scale mobile games, Wild Speed Racing 8 and NBA2K15, are selected for running test. The first one is "Wild Speed Racing 8: Extreme Speed Cloud" After 20 minutes of the game, the whole process of the game is very smooth. You can see the second screenshot of driving in the rain. The oncoming rain also makes people feel very real. The effect of the broken glass when the car is damaged is also very realistic. For this game, Huawei Glory 7 is good in terms of color performance and running smoothness.

▼ Then the game "NBA 2K15" was tested again. The game was slightly stuck when it was loaded, which may be related to the fact that I returned the Speed Racing 8 and then started it. After I tried to clean up the storage and then entered, there was no stuck at the scene. The game also only experienced for about 20 minutes, and there was no "stuck" phenomenon during the whole game. After the camera zoomed in, the facial expressions of the characters could be clearly seen. The temperature of the hottest part of the lower back cover was 34 ℃, and the heating condition was good.

『 Signal test 』

▼ Huawei Glory 7 adopts an all metal body, but the metal can block the transmission of mobile phone signals. However, the upper and lower ends of the back of Glory 7's mobile phone are made of plastic, which can enhance the reception of mobile phone signals. After actual testing, it has no effect on WLAN signals, However, the mobile phone signal has a slight impact. The 4G signal of indoor mobile phones is generally maintained between - 101dBm and - 106dBm, while that of outdoor mobile phones is better between - 85dBm and - 98dBm. However, there are few full 4G signals.

『 Intelligent remote control 』

▼ Next, we will carry out a simple test operation for some features of Huawei Glory 7. First, let's test the "smart remote control" function in the mobile phone, enter the "smart remote control" interface, click the "+" add icon in the middle of the interface to enter the remote control type selection interface, where we can add basic remote controls for TV, air conditioner, set-top box and DVD, as well as projectors Add remote controls for more devices such as network boxes and cameras. Of course, this is not a unique function. It has been available on Xiaomi mobile phone 4 for the first time, but it is the first time to add this function to the glory series of mobile phones.

▼ The method of adding is also very simple. Here, the addition of TV remote control is used as a test experience. First, select the TV brand, and then, according to the system prompts, first learn the "Power" button. After learning, learn the "Volume+", "Channel+", and so on. You can complete the learning of remote control according to the system prompts. We specially tested a worn Haier air conditioner from our company a few years ago, and it was perfectly supported after matching. However, the matching process is still a bit troublesome. If we can change it to long press automatic matching, it will be much more convenient. This still needs to be optimized, but it is very convenient to use.

▼ In addition to remote control learning, we can also view "TV programs" and divide TV programs into CCTV and local ones. However, there are not many channels currently supported. CCTV has only 15 channels and local ones have 50 channels, most of which are satellite channels. This is also the "smart remote control" of Glory 7 It is different from other universal remote control equipment.

Fingerprint Identification

▼ The "fingerprint identification" function is also a feature function of Huawei Glory 7. The "no metal ring press" fingerprint identification scheme is adopted, which can make fingerprint identification more sensitive and rapid. Through the actual fingerprint unlocking test, both the identification speed and accuracy are very good, and fingerprint identification errors rarely occur.

▼ The method of adding fingerprint is also very simple. Enter the "Fingerprint Management" interface through the "Settings" option, click the "New Fingerprint" option at the bottom, enter and start fingerprint entry according to the system prompt. Enter the corresponding name after the entry is successful.

▼ Of course, in addition to the commonly used fingerprint unlocking, the "fingerprint identification" in Huawei Glory 7 is still used for many other purposes. You can set the "touch function", respectively setting the functions of "click", "long press" and "slide". You can set the "single click" to return to the previous menu operation, and the "long press" to return to the desktop, take photos Answer an incoming call and stop the alarm. Set "Long press" to display recent applications and display notification panel operations. I may not get used to it at the beginning, but after getting used to it, it is very convenient.

"Smart key"

▼ "Smart key" is also a special function of Glory 7. Its function is similar to that of smart key, but it is directly designed on the side frame of the phone. It is much more convenient than the smart key inserted in the headphone hole. At least it can free the headphone hole.

▼ The setting of "Smart key" is also very simple. If you have used smart key before, you will feel very familiar with it. Of course, it is also different from the smart button. The "smart button" can only be operated by clicking, double clicking and long pressing three gestures. After entering the "smart function" interface, we can make corresponding settings. Here we take the "click" setting as an example. After entering the "click" interface, we will see that there are two options: "shortcut" and "open application". You can choose according to your personal needs. Since I need a lot of mobile phone screenshots to write and paste, so click the mandatory "screenshot" function. Through actual testing, although there are only three operating modes, the response speed and accuracy are still very high.

[Endurance test]

▼ Huawei Glory 7 is equipped with a 3100mAh battery. Now I will simply test the endurance of this mobile phone. First, let's conduct a simple test operation for its charging effect. In order to ensure the accuracy of the value as much as possible, the original 5V2A charging plug USB charging cable is used here.

▼ When the screen is off, the phone is charged for the first time for 50 minutes, and the power of the phone is increased from 11% to 63%, totally 52% of the power is charged; Then a 10 minute charging test was carried out. This time, the power of the mobile phone increased from 25% to 35%, with a total charge of 10%. According to this speed, it can go from 0% to full in about one and a half hours, so this speed is also very good. However, Huawei Glory 7 also supports fast charging, except that other versions of China Netcom are not equipped with a fast charging plug. This should be noted slightly.

Δ Charge for 50 minutes

Δ Charge for 10 minutes

▼ Let's do a simple test on the endurance of Huawei Glory 7. First, test the power consumption of the mobile phone through video playback. Try the video player that comes with the system. The sound and brightness are all adjusted to 50%. QQ and WeChat are hung in the background. The video is played for one hour and 22 minutes. The power consumption is reduced from 67% to 48%. A total of 19% of the power is consumed, It should not be a problem to stick to one day.

▼ Finally, we tested the standby power consumption of Huawei Glory 7. The phone turned on WLAN, Bluetooth, and hung QQ and WeChat in the background. After eight hours of standby when the phone was off the screen, the phone's power consumption would change from 97% to 93%, a total of 4%. The standby power consumption was good.

Camera test:

▼ Huawei Glory 7 uses a 2000W pixel Sony 1MX230 sensor rear camera, supports PDAF phase focusing, and cooperates with Smart Image 3.0 and rich photography modes. What's the effect of the photos? Let's enter the camera testing link. Of course, since my photography level is really limited, I will not make too many comments, Go directly to the camera samples in various modes. Whether the shooting is good or bad, you should leave it to yourself to enjoy the comments.

▼ Although there are many shooting modes in Huawei Glory 7, I think most people use the camera's automatic mode most. To some extent, the camera's automatic mode is the best way to experience the camera's shooting ability. From the sample, we can see that Huawei Glory 7 is equipped with a 2000W pixel rear camera, so it performs well in some details, and the color of the photo is closer to the actual color of the subject. The following samples are all in camera automatic mode without any post-processing, and only the lower size has been modified for your reference.

Δ Outdoor in sunny days

Δ Outdoor close shot

Δ Outdoor distance (afternoon)

Δ Indoor in sunny days

▼ There is also a "super night view" mode in the photographing options, which is more suitable for photographing night scenes. However, this mode must keep the mobile phone stable, and generally it needs to be kept for more than 10 seconds, sometimes even longer, otherwise the photos will be prone to ghosting. The test was conducted indoors in the evening. After the "Super Night View" mode was turned on, the brightness and noise of the photos were improved. However, if you shake your hands slightly, the photos will appear ghosting. It is better to use a tripod to fix them. In fact, this function is not very effective for ordinary users. I have tried it several times with my mobile phone, The proofs that are slightly shaken out by hands will be ghosted.

Δ Under indoor automatic mode

Δ After opening the "super night view"

▼ However, the "food mode" in the camera is quite good, and the food shot after opening will be more attractive. Compared with the sample in the normal mode, the sample in the "food mode" has been specially optimized and adjusted, and the effect has been improved significantly. The food inside is more colorful, which also makes people have more appetite.

Δ "Food mode" is not enabled

Δ Open "Food Mode"

Summary:

Through a whole week of experience, the overall performance of Huawei Glory 7 is good. As the first all metal phone in the Glory series, the overall workmanship is also very meticulous. The unique "smart key" is also very convenient to use. The fingerprint recognition response is fast, the recognition accuracy is high, and the daily use is also very convenient, The smoothness of the system is good. Basically, there is no jam in the daily use process. Of course, it may be related to my habit of cleaning the background frequently. However, during the game test two days ago, two large 3D mobile phone games were opened in succession, and a slight jam occurred when the second one was loaded. Of course, there are still some shortcomings. Although the large metal trimming around the back cover of the phone is beautiful, it is easy to scratch; The surface of the back cover of the phone is smooth and delicate. Although it feels comfortable, it will make people feel uneasy; The rear 2000W camera does not support optical anti shake and is much higher than the back cover. The lens surface may be scratched in daily use. However, after all, there is only one week of experience time, and two evaluation posts need to be produced, so what is given is just some simple test data. I hope that in the future, the activity of testing G points can add some experience time, so that we can have more time to conduct the next test experience.
