On December 29, Hammer Technology held a new product launch at the Beijing National Convention Center, officially releasing the Smartisan T2 smartphone and Smartisan OS 2, and also lowered the price of nut phones.

Appearance, The Smartisan T2 adopts a full metal middle frame, with no fault in the middle. The front and rear panels are 2.5D curved glass, and still have three physical buttons on the front, while the left and right sides are still equipped with adjustable screen brightness adjustment and volume keys. At the same time, the buttons on the right can be pulled out as card slots. The bottom is still a symmetrical speaker design. The power key is integrated into the Home key below the screen.

Smartisan T2 uses one 4.95 Inch, 1080P LCD screen, SoC is Snapdragon 808, memory is 3GB LPDDR3 933MHz, eMMC 5.0 flash memory is used, rear camera is 12.78 million pixels (with optical anti shake), front is 5 million pixels, with Texas Instruments OPA1612 operational amplifier chip X2, supporting full network access, battery capacity is 2670mAh, system is Smartisan OS 2 (Android 5.1), There are black and white versions ， The price of the 16G version is 2499 yuan, and the price of the 32G version is 2599 yuan. It will be sold in Jingdong Mall at 22:00 on December 29.

There are not many highlights in the configuration of the machine. It is estimated that everyone knows about the Xiaomi 4c's Xiaolong 808, but the hammer has marked the GPU frequency of its Adreno 418 as 625MHz (the exact frequency of this GPU should be 600MHz). After all, the shipment of the hammer is not very large, and the availability of Qualcomm's special customization is very low. It is estimated that the hammer, which is known for its rigor and stubbornness, also has temporary workers and is incorrectly marked.

Although the official did not indicate whether T2 supports fast charging, the charger specification marked on its 3C certification information is 5V1.5A, so the machine may not support fast charging. Even if it is supported, users need to purchase a fast charging head separately.

As for the sound quality of Smartisan T2, we know that Smartisan T1 uses OPA2604 as the operational amplifier chip, but it does not have an independent DAC like other Hi Fi phones. Lao Luo said that because they do not need such a chip to achieve good enough sound quality, the actual effect can only be said to be slightly better than ordinary phones, and there is still a significant gap between them and the top ranks. This time, the Smartisan T2 is still equipped with an independent operational amplifier chip, and uses the OPA1612 (two, one for each of the left and right channels) that is more suitable for mobile devices, but still does not use an independent DAC. It can be seen that the audio team of the Hammer is still very dedicated to this design, and even feels good about itself. As for the actual effect, we can only say that we are skeptical and look forward to it.

At the same time, the price of Hammer's official nut mobile phone (including the literary youth version) has all been lowered by 200 yuan, while the all Netcom version of the nut mobile phone will be sold in January next year, with the price of 16G 799 yuan and 32G 899 yuan.

summary

Smartisan T2 is not very different from Smartisan T1 in appearance, but its practice of hiding the SIM card slot in the keys is really innovative in the mobile phone industry. But after the whole conference, Lao Luo has been talking about design, system and feelings. Is configuration not important as a smart phone?

Smartisan T2, as a mobile phone with a price of 2499 yuan/2599 yuan at the end of 2015, does not support fingerprint identification and USB Type-C interface. In terms of performance, because of the use of Snapdragon 808, its memory is also limited to LPDDR3. The camera only has 13 million pixels (optical anti shake) marked on the official parameters of Sony, The parameters listed in the Smartisan T2 are really not the proper configuration for a domestic Android machine with a price of about 2500 yuan.

However, after the humorous and funny press conference, some people may pay for feelings, and some people may support Lao Luo. But the author believes that in today's fierce smartphone hardware race, Android phones with this specification and configuration cost 2499/2599 yuan. I'm afraid that they are already facing the risk of being eliminated at the beginning of the release.
