Nowadays, the frequency of high-end replacement is becoming lower and lower, and Apple still occupies a strong share of the middle and high-end market. The competition of domestic computers in the 1000 yuan machine market is becoming increasingly fierce. At the end of October, Huawei launched the Glory Play 5X, which features an all metal body, full Netcom and fingerprint unlocking. The hardware and system configurations have also been significantly improved. What is its actual performance? Take a look at the actual test.

Product details

Glory Play 5X uses a blue box for young users, and only the Glory logo and product information are printed in the big blue.

The mobile phone in the box is embedded in it, and the accessories are arranged orderly. The back cover of the 5X Glory Play is not removable, and a steel needle for card slot is provided.

Glory Play 5X provides three colors: sunset gold, dawn silver and dark night gray. This is sunset gold The design is a combination of metal and plastic. The back plate and frame are made of metal, and the panel is made of plastic. The screen has been pasted with the original film, so you don't need to paste it again. Huawei has done a good job in this regard, and it is considerate.

The frame of Glory Play 5X is made of gold polycarbonate, slightly higher than the surface, to prevent the screen from being broken when falling, but it feels that if it is made of metal, it will be more upscale.

Borderless design is now a popular trend and a common preference of everyone. The 5X frame can not be seen on the black screen background. In other color backgrounds, there is a circle of black frames around, which will be somewhat uncomfortable in the vision. But it is also good to do this for the thousand yuan model.

The design on the top of the front is also the consistent style of Huawei mobile phones. The earpiece in the middle is made of patterned metal material, which is wider than the ordinary one. On the right is the front camera, with 5 million pixels, and next to it is the light sensor. A hidden LED light is also designed on the left side, which can only be detected when the message is reminding or charging.

At the bottom of the fuselage, Glory Play 5X eliminates the physical keys, adopts the virtual key design, and removes the Huawei logo, so the virtual keys on the screen can have a larger screen area and a more concise and beautiful appearance.

There are two convex physical keys on the right side. The volume key is on the upper side, and the power switch key is on the lower side. The surface of the keys is threaded, and the fingers can just touch the keys when holding them.

In terms of card slot design, Glory Play 5X is also adapting to the evolution of All Netcom. It uses three card slots, which is rare. There are microSIM, NanoSIM and microSD cards. It does not need to distinguish between slot 1 and slot 2. The telecommunications card can also be inserted at will, and the system will automatically identify it. It is believed that if MT6735 is adopted in the future, both card slots can realize dual telecom card 4G, and no problem will arise in how to match them.

The top of the fuselage is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone interface and a noise reducing microphone, which is very fine.

The middle of the bottom of the body is a Micro USB interface, and the left and right are symmetrical microphone and speaker holes. The speaker is designed at the low end rather than the back, so that the sound can be transmitted without obstruction.

On the back of the fuselage, Glory Play 5X adopts metal materials, and presents the effect of metal wire drawing through multiple processes, completely restoring the luster of metal.

The upper part of the back of the fuselage is a 13 million pixel rear camera, slightly convex, 28mm wide angle, and the left side of the camera is a flash. The following part of the camera is the biggest highlight of this mobile phone: fingerprint identification module, which is a press fingerprint identification sensor with high finger touch sensitivity. We will experience its unique functions in detail later.

There is only a glorious LOGO at the bottom of the back, which eliminates the traditional speaker hole, making it more concise and fashionable.

Let's take a look at the back fuselage. It is a three-stage design. The top and bottom are injection molding materials. A closer look shows the dot design. In addition, the perfect combination with the middle seam presents an integrated metal feeling. This design is also for the convenience of signal reception.

UI system

The Glory Play 5X is equipped with the deeply optimized EMUI 3.1 system based on Android 5.1. EMUI3.1 runs very smoothly. The interface design of Glory Play 5X focuses on youth and fashion, and the background and icons are colorful. The system has pre installed common software.

Desktop management is also very important. You can control the management by pinching two fingers. There are window gadgets and switching effects below. The desktop layout has a variety of personalized settings.

There are many programs running in the background of Android, and EMUI3.1 can also be used to slide clean. For uninstalling programs, the same operation as iOS is used. One drag up will complete the uninstallation, and there is no need to enter the step by step operation of setting.

The notice bar and function switch are on the top of the interface, which can be managed at any time. What is mentioned here is its situational intelligence function, which is to plan the user's itinerary or events in advance. If a flight reservation message is received, "situational intelligence" will automatically generate a card. When the flight departure time is approaching, the situational intelligence will make prediction and planning, and suggest the user to leave for the airport at an appropriate time, At the same time, it will also give you the approximate time and transportation options required for the journey out of the airport. This is the real smart phone.

There are many setting items of Glory Play 5X, which will not be shown one by one. The author has been using Huawei mobile phones, and the system is basically the same. The general feeling is that the functions are strong, the operation is convenient, and the service is humanistic.

Hardware performance

Glory Play 5X uses a 5.5 inch high-definition screen, 1920 * 1080 resolution, supports ten touch and manual color temperature adjustment, and can adjust pixel level dynamic contrast. It is also very clear in strong light.

Glorious Play 5X is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 eight core processor, 3GB RAM+16GB ROM memory combination, low power consumption and high performance. Using Antu rabbit to run points, the result is 36052 points. The comprehensive performance is excellent, which is also ideal for thousand yuan machine.

Through the test of the racing game, the 5X of Glory Play is running smoothly, and there is no stuck phenomenon. The overall effect is satisfactory.

fingerprint identification

Glory Play 5X adopts the second generation of metal free ring pressing fingerprint recognition scheme of Sweden FPC. Fingerprint entry is also very simple. It only takes six times to complete the quick and accurate entry, and a total of five fingerprints can be added.

The fingerprint unlocking function of Glory Play 5X is very powerful. It is called the second opener. It only takes 0.5 seconds to unlock. It also has the intelligent recognition function. The more you use it, the more sensitive you will be.

In addition to unlocking, fingerprint has more functions. You can set a finger to connect an APP. For example, we can open microblog with our left hand, camera with our right hand, and press one button to complete it. It is very necessary in the coming winter. Freezing hands and feet in the cold environment, it is very important to quickly open the required application.

Shooting performance

Glory Play 5X adopts a front 5 megapixel camera, which supports panoramic self portrait, and the rear camera is 13 megapixel, 28mm wide angle, equipped with an intelligent image 3.0 professional image processing engine, can take high-definition pictures.

The shooting mode provides five modes: food, skin beauty, photography, video recording, and time-lapse photography. The setting of photography provides panorama, full focus, and continuous shooting. The setting also provides audio photos, which are very powerful. In terms of photo processing, you can directly select nine filter effects, such as jeans, black and white, old photos, and personality. You can directly image according to the effect you need, without having to worry about post-processing.

In the shooting settings, there is also a function called "Charm Me". When it is turned on, the photos will automatically adjust and become more beautiful. This is very suitable for self portraits. In addition, it is also very practical to take silent, timed, smiling faces, etc. Let's take a look at the live shooting effect.

Through live shooting, the 5X of Glory Play focuses quickly and clearly. The imaging effect is also satisfactory. The color reproduction is high, and there is no color bias. No matter the distant or near scenery is clear, it maintains a high definition. In night shooting, it also performs well in details, noise reduction, and color.

Endurance

Although the Glory Play 5X has a 5.5 inch screen, it has a built-in 3000mAh battery and supports a 2A charger. In the author's experience, the light use can last 3-4 days, and the heavy use is enough for one day.

Evaluation summary

Through the above evaluation, we will find that there are many highlights of Glory Play 5X, such as integrated metal body, real All Netcom, fingerprint on hardware, situational intelligence on software, and some considerate humanized designs, which combine to create a thousand yuan smart machine with high cost performance and occupy a place in the thousand yuan machine market, We also expect that in the next generation of products, we can achieve true ID frameless and all metal body, and improve the hardware configuration more.
