With the increasing integration of mobile phones, more and more high-end suppliers provide more and more complete supporting solutions, which enables more and more emerging brands to enter the mobile phone market. The advantage is that mobile phones are cheaper, which also brings huge pressure to the traditional mobile phone industry. Mobile phone profits are getting less and less. In this market, more and more manufacturers are unwilling to invest in research and development, but "chasing new" Fill the gap in research and development with advanced mobile phone chip solutions at the fastest speed. So while enjoying the "cheap", we also found that today's mobile phones have a public face. The same scheme has similar functions and lacks novelty. The use of "chasing new" instead of R&D has exposed more and more problems. The mobile phone is unstable, hot, and consumes power quickly. With the shit like UI, the firmware update cycle is getting longer and longer. Before the new version of the firmware, the new model has been released again. The price of the mobile phone has just been reduced to make way for the new one. We feel that the advantages are getting worse and worse. It is against this backdrop that Huawei Glory, as a mobile phone leader, still adheres to the R&D route. Glory 7i is the result of continuous innovation. The first flip lens mobile phone - 180 degree flip lens can hover at any angle under the control of constant damping, truly realizing multi angle shooting. At the same time, we introduced the "3E, 4A, 5M" photography technology for the first time. In addition, the selfie function has been extremely optimized. But we not only need to ask that the flip camera will not die after countless flips? Can you hover at any angle after an ordinary flip? How does Huawei Glory solve these problems? So we have today's dismantling.

Explain the appearance design briefly before the conventional disassembly. The Glory 7i adopts a frameless design. It looks like there is almost no frame when the screen is turned off, but the black edge of about 2MM can still be seen when the screen is turned on.

From left to right, increase or decrease the volume, power button, SIM card 1 (TF card), SIM card 2. Glory 7i adopts a gold metal middle frame design. In order to protect the front screen and the back, the upper and lower layers are designed with a protective frame made of PET glass fiber material. Although this design improves the safety, it also increases the visual thickness of Glory 7i.

In fact, the body thickness of Glory 7i is 7.8MM, which is thinner than that of Glory 7, 8.5MM. However, from the side view, there is not much difference between the two. The main reason is that the back of Glory 7 is designed in an arc to reduce the visual difference.

Glory 7i, a flat metal middle frame, makes a 90 degree turn, mainly for its main photography. Although some poor vision is sacrificed, it can be easily placed on the plane. This pair of slow shooting, especially low shutter shooting, is very beneficial, and does not need to carry a tripod. For example, in the golden age, heavy traffic and low brightness, we have to use a low shutter to extend the exposure time of the camera to get a special picture, or reduce the noise to get a normal picture under low light.

The fingerprint sensor is moved to the side, which is exactly the position of the thumb when the left hand is holding it. In addition to being more convenient for use, compared with the fingerprint sensor design on the back, the design effectively solves the problem of mobile phone dust.

The back cover of Glory 7i is made of EPC material and vitrification process, which is similar to the effect of colored glass. If you are not careful, you will really mistake it as a colored glass back cover.

This is the biggest highlight of Glory 7i. The 180 degree flip lens can hover at any angle and is equipped with dual color temperature flash. Therefore, we didn't see the front camera on the front. We used one camera to solve the problem of self taking and taking photos. Because it is the same camera, it is more unified in driving, and can do better in the calibration and optimization of camera software. At the same time, a front camera is saved. Is this a saving or a cost? We can see it in the subsequent disassembly.

The bottom is a MicroUSB charging interface and a symmetrical speaker opening.

First, exit the two SIM card slots, then heat the back cover with a heating rod to facilitate disassembly, and finally use the mobile phone cover opening tool to open it without leaving a trace.

After opening, you can see that there is a black guide sticker on the back cover. The back cover is made of EPC material, which has good flexibility and avoids the friability of the glass back cover.

11 screws are used to fix two of them with white fragile stickers to prevent disassembly. First, disassemble the lower part. If you are young, use a scalpel to pick up the fragile pieces, then remove the RF cable, and use a screwdriver to exit the 5 screws at the bottom to open the bottom.

It can be seen that a three magnetic heel speaker is used at the bottom, with a complete sound cavity design. At the same time, the space at the bottom is fully used to improve the sound quality. The side exit design is adopted, and the dust prevention design is carried out on the holes on the side.

Before continuing to disassemble, the battery interface must be picked up to cut off the power supply, which is the most important thing. Then withdraw the top 4 screws. You can remove the top cover. What is protected under the red rubber pad here is a silicon microphone for noise reduction of ambient sound during communication.

Then withdraw the two screws in the middle section and remove the metal cover in the middle section. It can be seen that the Glory 7I uses a C-shaped circuit board, which is more reliable than the mother and child motherboard. Because the components are all on the motherboard, it has better stability and faster signal transmission speed. At the same time, the main board is shielded by a large area of metal cover to prevent signal interference.

Continue to disassemble the battery. The power supply shall be sticky. Pay attention to keep the battery flat during disassembly.

3100MAH lithium polymer battery is used.

Remove the small circuit board of the antenna at the top.

Now? be left over This is a C-type circuit board. All interfaces need to be removed before disassembly. Remove the RF connection cable in turn, and pull out the 3.5 audio interface. It can be seen that the 3.5 audio interface uses a fully gold-plated contact, while in order to reduce the thickness along the way, a customized interface is used, part of which is thinned, and the bottom of the audio interface is closed to prevent dust intrusion from this interface.

Next, pick up the flat cable interface of the signal circuit board, the interface of the camera, the connection interface of the fingerprint sensor, separate the fingerprint sensor chip stuck on the metal cover, pick up the interface of the full fitting screen, and finally exit the last screw at the bottom.

The C-shaped circuit board can be moved out. At this time, it can be seen that the Glory 7i adopts an integrated design of all metal middle frame, which increases the structural strength and effectively dissipates heat.

This is the bottom vibration motor.

The top earpiece also uses a three magnetic circuit speaker to achieve the purpose of clear voice when answering the phone.

When disassembling the camera, you must carefully remove one black screw under the camera cable, and then withdraw two screws on the other side. It can be seen that the camera part, including the brackets fixed on both sides, is made of all metal materials.

In order to solve the problem of 180 ° turning the lens and hovering at any angle with constant damping, Glory 7i uses high-quality stainless steel rotating shaft, which has passed rigorous 25000 times of 180 ° repeated turning tests, without any problem. Realizing multi angle shooting.

Continue to exit the screws on the 2 sides of the camera.

It can be seen that the camera back cover components are also all metal, which is conducive to structural strength and heat dissipation. At the same time, the cable arrangement of the camera is not a simple bending, but a circular buffer. At the same time, a red rubber pad is designed at the turning position to further improve the ability to resist overturning.

It can be seen that this flat cable has been specially customized, and the connection between the interface and the camera part has two circular buffers, which is not the 90 degree brutal bend I imagined before. The 180 degree buffer rollover through these two areas is just a small deformation for the flat cable, so it ingeniously solves the ordinary rollover problem. The camera adopts a 13 million pixel F2.0 large aperture Sony backlit camera to improve the quality of photography. At the same time, double color temperature LED fill light is designed to make up for the lack of light at night. The whole camera chamber is also made of all metal, with white paint on the front.

All the components of the camera pair are indispensable. Even the smallest round small cover here has a big secret. I found it when I installed it back. I will sell it first and leave it for you to read at last.

Next is the analysis of the C-type motherboard. The motherboard adopts a full metal shield to reduce the interference between signals, increase the stability, and now also increase the cooling capacity. Open the front metal cover.

The silicon microphone on the top has better sound receiving ability than the ordinary microphone. It is designed to capture ambient sound at this position, and then conduct noise reduction processing to ensure that calls in any environment are clear.

Part of the chip is covered and savagely solved with a knife.

We know that Snapdragon 616 itself is supported by 2100W pixels. In order to ensure the speed and clarity of taking pictures, an ALTERK6010 image processing chip is specially added.

This silicon microphone is mainly used for voice reception when talking.

A total of 19 screws.

This is the last little secret. The round metal cover is half round with magnetism, and half round without magnetism. There is a magnetic sensor with the model of 78954A nearby to judge the rotation of the camera. Because the camera is 180 degrees at the front and back, I didn't pay attention to this when I installed it before. After I installed it, the people who took pictures were all Nima, so I had to dismantle it again.

The structural design of this machine, in addition to checking whether the camera is turned over to judge whether it needs to be turned 180 degrees when taking photos, is also the key to activate the photographing app. The intimate design of the Glory 7i turning up camera to automatically open the photographing software is also the support of this ingenious hardware design.

[Advantages] of Glory 7i:

① Unique innovative design: the industry's first 180 degree flip lens mobile phone has been designed, which can hover at any angle under the control of constant damping to truly achieve multi angle shooting. For this reason, more hidden design costs have been paid. In addition, there are multiple hardware support. The ALtek6010 camera image processing chip is added to achieve anti shake, face recognition, lens compensation and image optimization. With the 13 million pixel F2.0 large aperture Sony back lit camera head, faster focusing speed and better image quality can be achieved. The second shot will not be missed. The magnetic mechanical linkage design near the camera automatically runs the camera program when the camera is turned, so that the second shot will not miss any wonderful moment. In order to protect the structural strength and stability of the flip camera, an all metal structure is adopted, and a high-quality stainless steel rotating shaft is designed to ensure high frequency flip and improve reliability. These designs and hardware costs are much higher than simply adding a front-end head. At the same time, because only one camera is used, the driver and hardware of the camera can be unified to better optimize the camera. In particular, the front self portrait is designed for women who love beauty.

② All high pass solution is adopted. Whether it is power management or dual 4G implementation, the all-in-one solution with WIFI Bluetooth brings better consistency, stability and quality control. Dual 4G adopts Qualcomm WTR4905 RF transceiver chip and SYK77629 to solve the problem. The WIFI part is solved by Qualcomm's wcn3620 multi in one chip.

③ The performance is more balanced. The chip of Snapdragon 616, with four cores of 1.5GHz A53+and four cores of 1.2GHz A53, is adopted, which improves the problems of Snapdragon 615, such as high heat and short endurance, and greatly improves the daily practicability. It integrates X5 LTE modem, supports Cat 4 network, download network speed up to 150Mbps, supports 1080p HEVC (H.265), and Qualcomm Fast Charge 2.0 technology.

④ The excellent design has changed the design of daughter and motherboard used by many models, and adopted more reliable C-type circuit board. At the same time, the all-in-one metal middle frame and all metal cover shielding treatment have improved the stability and heat dissipation capacity.

[Shortcomings] of Glory 7i:

① With the flat design of the metal middle frame and the protective frame made of two layers of PET glass fiber material, the sandwich structure, although convenient for placement and shooting, is visually thicker than the solitary middle frame. At the same time, the 90 degree turning from the back will make people feel like putting their hands down.

② The back cover of Glory 7i is made of EPC material and vitrification process, which is similar to the effect of colored glass. If you are not careful, you will really mistake it as a colored glass back cover.
