On October 27, Huawei held a glorious new product conference in Chengdu. Huawei proudly teamed up with Kung Fu Panda 3 and its producer, Dongfang DreamWorks, to release a new generation of 1000 yuan smart machine - Glory Play 5X.

Compared with its predecessor Glory 4X, Glory 5X has made rapid progress in hardware configuration. Glory Play 5X is made of all metal body, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 eight core 64 bit processor, 3GB RAM+16GB ROM memory combination (all Netcom version), equipped with fingerprint identification 2.0 system, 5.5 inch FHD 1080P full HD black waterfall screen, 5 megapixel front+13 megapixel rear camera combination, and runs the deeply optimized EMUI 3.1 system based on Android 5.1, It is equipped with 3000mAh built-in lithium battery.

In terms of appearance, Glory Play 5X adopts metal body design, aviation grade aluminum materials, and high-speed CNC diamond knife for internal and external polishing. At the same time, the mobile phone also adopts 3D curved metal wire drawing process, and the side of the body adopts high-speed sandblasting process to create a metallic matte effect, which is not easy to stain fingerprints; The LOGO on the back of the mobile phone is etched by laser laser carving process, which is low-key and restrained; In addition, there are three body colors for users to choose from in Glory Play 5X: sunset gold, dark night gray and dawn silver.

The 5X I got this time is the sunset gold color matching, which is different from the black or white front panel of ordinary mobile phones. The 5X front panel of the sunset gold version is also gold, which is highly consistent with the color of the phone back cover. Even the speaker cover above the screen is also gold, and the details are very good; The 5X front camera is 5 million pixels, F2.4 aperture, 22mm wide angle, and supports the beauty function and panoramic selfie. It is the favorite of girls who love beauty.

The 5X rear camera of Glory Play uses SONY/Samsung 13 megapixel stack sensor, F2.0 large aperture, 28mm wide angle, because the lens protrudes out of the back cover, it needs special protection. You can see the ring of metal ring outside the lens. The lens protection lens adopts super hard AR double-sided antireflection film and anti fingerprint coating, which has good scratch resistance and good anti fingerprint effect.

One of the highlights of playing 5X is the addition of fingerprint recognition. The Swedish FPC second generation metal ring free press fingerprint recognition scheme is adopted, which only takes 0.5 seconds to unlock. In addition, it also has a unique fingerprint self-learning function. The intelligent adaptive user uses the fingerprint scene, which is more sensitive with more use. The author measured that even wet fingers and local fingers can be easily identified. Personally, the biggest advantage of fingerprint identification is that it can better protect your privacy. If you lend your mobile phone to acquaintances and friends for fun, you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of privacy disclosure.

The 5X screen of Glory Play is a 5.5 inch 1080P full HD black waterfall screen, which adopts the GFF full fitting process. It has good permeability and visual angle, and the picture quality is exquisite and lifelike. It is really hard to see even in the sun. In addition, the proportion of screens is up to 72.5%, which makes it look like "face saving".

Glory Play 5X is the first metal body of Glory with 3 card slots, 3 card slots and 3 specifications, Nano SIM+Micro SIM+Micro SD card slot, which supports up to 128GB memory card expansion, has better compatibility than the common dual Nano SIM card scheme on the market. In addition, 5X also supports blind insertion of dual cards, supporting mobile phone card mashups of China Unicom, without the need to distinguish between the primary and secondary card slots. In addition, playing the 5X full network version supports 4G+3G+2G networks of three major operators, namely China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, This is really a good news for business people.

The all Netcom version of Glory Play 5X is equipped with 3GB LPDDR3 high-speed large memory and Qualcomm 64 bit 8-core high-speed CPU. This configuration is also a high-end configuration in the 1000 yuan machine. I have conducted a performance test on 5X with the latest version of Anthare and Master Lu respectively. The test results are as shown in the above figure. In terms of running score, it is standard, but in the experience evaluation and HTML5 evaluation, The score was amazing. In particular, experience evaluation is closer to the daily operation behavior of users and has more reference value.

A good way to test the performance of a mobile phone is to check its ability to run large games. I have installed two large games on 5X, Real Racing and Street Fighter 4, which I usually play a lot. 5X can run smoothly without pressure, but it may be a compatibility problem. When running Street Fighter 4, the mobile phone cannot enter the full screen state.

The fingerprint entry process of Glory Play 5X is very simple and fast. The system will intelligently prompt the entry location. The user only needs to follow the prompts to operate, and only needs to enter six times to fully record the fingerprint information of a finger. Of course, the Glory system gives this fingerprint recognition function more ways to play, such as black screen fingerprint dialing, black screen fingerprint directly entering the APP, fingerprint taking, long pressing the fingerprint key to answer the call, closing the alarm clock, etc., which is both fun and very close to the user's actual use scenarios, and has strong practicability.

The system of Glory Play 5X is based on the deeply optimized EMUI3.1 system of Android 5.1. While improving the fluency and ease of operation, it also adds many practical and thoughtful functional settings, such as fool type timing reminder, call card reminder, application hiding, etc., among which, one of the most practical ones is the "simple mode", which turns the smartphone into an old machine after being turned on, The simple style of extra large font, extra large icon and easy to read presentation makes it easy for even the elderly who do not know much about smart phones to get started. In addition, the features of high volume, long standby and remote assistance make 5X one of the few high-performance smart phones on the market that can be used barrier free by the elderly.

The camera equipped with Glory 5X is not only very powerful in hardware configuration, but also has many functions on the software level. It is rich and easy to use, such as real-time filter, time delay photography, watermark camera, target tracking and focusing. It has a variety of playing methods, and has a wide range of setting options. It is extremely fun. If you are a photographer who likes to take photos with your mobile phone, The 5X camera will definitely surprise you.

The above photos were taken at random on the afternoon of the day when I got the honor to play 5X. At that time, the sun was almost setting, and the outdoor light was not particularly ideal, but the performance of 5X camera still gave me a lot of surprises. In the backlight environment, after HDR function is turned on, the camera imaging effect is very ideal; The macro performance is also unexpected, and the depth of field effect is quite obvious, which is really valuable for a thousand yuan machine.

Huawei's Glory series has always focused on Internet marketing and cost-effective routes, and a series of products have been launched with good response. This launch of the all metal fingerprint machine 5X, in response to the current hot 1000 yuan machine craze, believes that with good configuration, high cost performance, excellent workmanship, smooth and stable system, The glorious 5X will continue the legend of its glorious family and occupy a place in the thousand yuan machine market.
