In December 2015, Qingcong Mobile officially held the conference of Qingcong Metal in Beijing, which was also a launch at the end of the year The company also announced its new product, Qingcong Metal, which is divided into two versions, the flagship version and the standard version. The standard version costs only 799 yuan, but it is equipped with an 8-core 64 bit processor, 3G memory and 16G/32G capacity. The flagship version will be equipped with a Snapdragon 810 processor, built-in 4G+128G super memory (maximum expansion 128G), equipped with a 6-inch 2K resolution super HD display and 8 million+16 million pixel dual camera, with a battery capacity of 5100mAh and full network connectivity, Integrated fingerprint identification function, so no matter which model is launched, it will have higher market attention

Now, Qingcong Metal has been released on the official website, and this time, the author is using Qingcong Metal Plus! It is equipped with 5.5 inch 1080P full HD screen, MediaTek MT6753 processor, 3GB running memory, 32GB body storage, 13 million pixels main camera, 8 million pixels front camera, 3050mAh battery, fingerprint recognition 2.0, all metal body. It is hard for Qingcong Metal to have such a configuration in the fierce 1000 yuan market. The price of the enhanced version is 999 yuan, while that of the standard version is 799 yuan. The difference between the two is only in storage. It's not interesting to compare with your own, so let's follow the writer to experience the differences and highlights between Qingcong Metal and the whole thousand yuan mobile phones in detail!

On the exterior package, Qingcong Metal adopts the simple box style of environmental protection. There is only a raised Qingcong logo on the front and a hot silver CONG trademark on the bottom

Like other packages, Qingcong Metal also printed relevant parameters of the product and business information on the back of the package. The author's Qingcong Metal this time is a gold enhanced version of Qingcong Metal As mentioned above, Qingcong Metal Standard Edition and Enhanced Edition only store 16GB and 32GB

Qingcong Metal has done a good job in details. After unpacking, I found that Qingcong Metal gave me a film, but I found that the film was just so so, so I tore it Anyway, it's nothing, because now the official order will send the tempered film In fact, the purpose of giving these gifts is to reduce the steps of additional purchase for consumers, so that consumers can use their mobile phones more directly and conveniently

Include on the package

① Qingcong Metal mobile phone host ② power adapter ③ data cable ④ pin ⑤ San Bao certificate

Pure white power adapter, input 5V2A The author will also test the charging speed of Qingcong Metal

In fact, there was such a small episode before the Qingcong Press Conference Tan Wensheng, CEO of Qingcong Mobile, once smashed the plastic case mobile phone in public, and said that he would build a "all metal body" mobile phone. It seems that Qingcong has made great determination to the appearance of the mobile phone! However, Qingcong Metal did not disappoint users this time. Qingcong Metal spent a lot of time and cost to build an all metal back, which is really incredible. After all, the cost is not proportional to the price of this phone, which is where the courage comes from, perhaps also the paranoia of its own products! Let's take a look at the workmanship of this mobile phone and see how paranoid Green Metal can be!

Like mainstream mobile phones, Qingcong Metal uses a 5.5 inch IPS full fit screen with a resolution of 1080P The black panel and screen of Qingcong Metal can be well integrated in the case of the rest screen. I almost thought that the front of the phone was a piece of pure black. So I think Qingcong Metal has a better control of the screen occupation ratio this time

Careful friends will find that there is a layer of polycarbonate material between the glass panel and the metal edge of Green Metal, and its role is also very straightforward, which is to buffer the fully fitted screen and metal frame.

At the top of the screen, from left to right, there are earphones, 8 million cameras in front, and the distance between the reactor and the light sensor The status indicator is hidden under the black panel, the overall design pattern is to the right, the earpiece is sagging, and it is easy to accumulate dust after long use

Qingcong Metal does not use touch keys, but instead uses the mainstream Android development virtual keys. There are five virtual keys at the bottom, namely, "Hide Virtual Keys", "Return", "Home Keys", "Menu Keys", and "Background/Control Switches". This virtual key has been controversial and has been liked by users, but also rejected by users. It is the so-called turnip and vegetables have their own preferences Benefiting from the design of virtual buttons on the front, Green Metal will look particularly impressive when it is combined with the black theme

There is a 3.5mm headphone jack and noise reduction microphone jack on the top of Qingcong Metal, which are designed in a symmetrical position What is worth appreciating is that Qingcong Metal has also added a protective edge to the headphone hole

Qingcong Metal seems to care about symmetry design from the top to the bottom of the fuselage. For example, Qingcong Metal symmetrically distributes two speaker hole arrays and two screws at the bottom, and opens a Micro USB interface in the middle. There is also a plastic edge guard at the interface. Qingcong Metal makes it very clean and simple both at the bottom and the top

On the right side of the fuselage are the volume key and the power key. All the keys are processed by CNC trimming. The pressing range is short, and the pressing is soft

The SIM card slot on the left side is flat. Qingcong Metal supports dual cards and dual standby, and Universal Unicom mobile 4G network also supports 128G extended memory when placing a SIM card to meet daily needs.

Among the whole Qingcong Metal, the metal body is the most labor-intensive, because the body of Qingcong Metal is made of a whole 6063 aviation grade aluminum alloy, which is molded by CNC process, nano injection molding After 364 hours and 259 processes, the 3D three-dimensional zirconium sand injection and anodic oxidation technology were carved. After so many complex processes, the overall metal shell of Qingcong Metal has a metallic texture of rose gold, with a slight sanding effect, which gives a very high-end feeling overall.

The most impressive thing is Qingcong's paranoia about the back cover, and the most amazing thing is the black 3D curved glass at the top of the back, in which the 13 million pixel rear camera is also embedded. What's the role of the 3D curved glass on the back? In fact, this 3D curved glass is coated with two layers of film Technically, it increases the transparency of the camera shooting, and also to decorate the metal body

Although the product is more beautiful because of the 3D curved glass, the glass is more likely to be stained with fingerprints, which affects the shooting effect of the camera. This phenomenon actually exists in most mobile phones, from a certain U1 to Samsung s6 edge+ The main impact is shooting. The reason may be that the coated "protection" is easy to receive the influence of fingerprint oil stain, which leads to the error of light refraction, so that there is light spot in the case of backlight shooting. If the handprint is cleared, the shooting effect is normal again. In a word, it is a bit of a lose lose feeling

Qingcong Metal's 175 μ m glass cover plate is more wear-resistant and practical in the selection of fingerprint identification cover plate materials There is a kind of mirror beauty in the light!

The three-stage design of Qingcong Metal is still obvious. At the bottom of the rear cover of the fuselage, we can see a plastic horizontal bar across the metal fuselage. Above the horizontal bar is the LOGO carved by Qingcong through laser technology. The layout of the bottom is in order

In terms of hardware configuration, Qingcong Metal uses MediaTek MT6753 processor, eight processing cores, and 3GB operating memory. What is the performance of this operation combination? Now let's run the score through Anthare!

An Rabbit scored 37459 points. Although it has flagship craftsmanship, Qingcong Metal cannot escape the level of 1000 yuan machine

As a thousand yuan mobile phone, the AV function may be more popular than the actual application, so the author tried to download a 1080P video encapsulated in MP4 and a 720P video to test the playback ability of Qingcong Metal. First, the author dragged the video playback bar by randomly segmenting it to determine whether the video needs to be buffered, and then stopped playing, It is found that Qingcong Metal is very good at playing resolution. The common 1080P video can be smooth without jamming and frame dropping We usually watch or download 720p and 1080p movies on the Internet, so it is basically OK in daily use So users who are paranoid about watching movies can relax,

In the game, the author played a popular game of the best speed car. Because it is a racing game, it is easier to detect the operability and fluency of the game In the actual experience, Green Metal can run very smoothly, which is enough! Then the author downloaded King Glory, Modern War and Trinity, which remained smooth and stable during the game Therefore, Qingcong Metal also has good support for common games, which is more than enough for users to have some simple entertainment at ordinary times.

Comments on entertainment: Qingcong Metal meets daily needs, can watch mainstream 720P and 1080P videos, and plays most mobile games at present

As mentioned above, Qingcong Meta has adopted a better fingerprint panel. What's the difference in fingerprint recognition? In fact, in my actual experience, Qingcong metal needs to press 8 times to add fingerprints before writing fingerprints Compared with the red rice note3 with the same price ratio, the 12 entries of red rice note3 are four times less, and the number of fingerprints supports five groups in total

Fingerprint dynamic image

Qingcong Metal uses a 3050mAh 4.35v high voltage battery. The system has its own intelligent dynamic power consumption optimization management mode, and there is no big problem when you call for a long time. The following author will also test the overall endurance and charging performance for you.

Qingcong Metal adopts the customized Cong OS system based on Android 5.1. The system interface tends to be flat, and most of the interface colors are turquoise, which is more suitable for young people's youthful vitality

On the icon, Cong OS system does not have the square like other systems. Instead, it uses irregular image graphics. For example, QQ is just a cartoon logo of QQ. Although it has good recognition, icons with different shapes may kill Virgo. Of course, this is not the only thing. The Cong OS system has various personality themes to change. Let's take a look at the various settings of the Cong OS system!

The Cong OS system is somewhat different from the first experience, but it is not unique. For example, the Cong OS system shortcut switch is not placed on the top of the screen as other mobile phones do, but is changed to the bottom of the screen. When using, just let your finger slide up from the bottom of the screen to call up the shortcut switch and background applications, and slide up or down the background application icon to close the background application.

Slide your finger down from the top of the screen to call up app notifications, time and date, and set shortcut buttons.

Cong OS has a variety of built-in gesture wake-up functions. With these gesture wake-up functions, users can quickly start corresponding applications by drawing the set graphics on the screen in the black screen state, and support a large degree of freedom in the operation of custom applications. Through such convenient design, users can greatly reduce their search for programs.

Back to the aspect of Qingcong Metal fingerprint identification, Cong OS has a distinctive feature in fingerprint identification settings. After eight fingerprint entries, users can unlock, encrypt applications or files, take photos, etc. next time. The Cong OS of Qingcong has a special feature, that is, through Cong OS fingerprint recognition, users can click the fingerprint sensor one to nine times to open different applications respectively. This practice is relatively new, but it is also troublesome to click too many times. Therefore, it is more practical to start the program by clicking 2-4 times, but it is a bit bulky if more than 5 times.

Cong OS system combines Dom Music to create a music resource library with abundant resources. The author tries to find some older music or more biased songs, but the author still likes Dom's recommended song columns, where it is easy to find your favorite music, and sometimes avoids downloading other music applications, The use of the system's own music library is also sufficient.

For the app store, the Cong OS system is relatively poor, and many applications cannot be found. The author has to download other versions of the app store, which is expected to be strengthened.

In a word, the green Cong OS system can only be described in one sentence, that is, there are bright spots and slots. We expect better system optimization to give users the best experience.

Qingcong Metal adopts Samsung front camera 800w pixels, Samsung rear camera 1300w pixels, f/2.0 aperture, and supports 1080p (1920 × 1080, 30 frames/second) video recording, which is in the current mainstream specification. Everyone praises Samsung's camera. So what about the imaging ability of Qingcong Metal this time?

Qingcong Metal's shooting interface is relatively simple, because the cong OS system collects some tools that are not commonly used, making users feel more relaxed and intuitive. Of course, there are also various settings you need, such as manual white balance, ISO， Exposure value, shutter time, viewfinder mode, etc.

Without saying a word, let's take a look at the imaging effect of Green Metal.

It can be seen from the live shot sample that the green onion metal color restoration is yellow.

At macro distance, due to the large aperture of f/2.0, it has a good ability to blur the background and can highlight the shooting subject.

When shooting the distant view, the exposure is just controlled, and the overall picture is relatively clear, but the sense of smearing is strong, and the image sharpness has declined. In other words, the green metal imaging this time still needs to be optimized

Qingcong Metal is equipped with 3050mAh battery, which cannot be replaced due to its integrated body. As far as the author is concerned, I often read the news and chat about QQ and WeChat. According to this usage habit, Qingcong Metal can use 1.2 days of life on my mobile phone. Of course, everyone's usage habits are different, and the length of life is also different. Now let's use some actual applications to judge their own life.

Qingcong metal consumes 19% of its power when it is in standby for 12 hours. According to this calculation, Qingcong metal can be in standby for 2.7 days The other applications that consume the most power are games. The rest of QQ, WeChat, Taobao, etc. consume power fairly well.

It can be seen from the above figure that it takes 94 minutes for Qingcong Metal to fully charge 100% of its battery, 12% after 10 minutes, 34% after 30 minutes, and 68% after 60 minutes. It can be seen that the charging speed of Qingcong Metal is fairly standard in 1000 yuan mobile phones.

This is the end of the evaluation. Let's take a look at the overall advantages and disadvantages of Qingcong Metal Plus

Advantages:

One piece metal body with excellent workmanship

The curved body has a good grip

32G storage+3G memory

The lowest price is 799 yuan

Fingerprint recognition has many expanded functions

Excellent photographic macro

Disadvantages:

System details to be optimized

Insufficient night image, strong sense of smearing

There is light leakage in SIM card slot

Recommenders:

The price of green onion metal is very reasonable! 16G storage is only 799 yuan, 32G is only 999 yuan, and it is 3G storage, but the system is not good enough and there are many details to be optimized. Considering these small problems and cost performance, the author recommends to mobile phone users who like to experience fingerprint recognition and want to buy large memory and storage at a low price. How can the system be not good enough in the future? Users can also brush third-party systems, In this way, both craftsmanship and experience are emphasized.

On the whole, Qingcong Metal's workmanship and configuration at this price have been considered as a domestic medium and an upstream level. Although the overall performance of Qingcong Metal is not as good as the flagship machine, it has no significant impact on daily use. It can handle video, video, games and other entertainment methods, What is not enough is just some small problems in the system and camera optimization. As a mobile phone less than 1000 yuan, fingerprint recognition is also a selling point of Qingcong Metal. In addition to fast fingerprint recognition, fingerprint recognition also has small functions such as starting applications. Through a period of experience, the author defines Qingcong Metal as a flagship of manufacturing, But the details of the 1000 yuan metal mobile phone.
