Since Lao Luo started to set foot in the mobile phone industry with his unique feelings and ingenuity, it is doomed to be a spoiler in the mobile phone industry. The Hammer mobile phone did not disappoint our expectations, and successfully occupied a place in the mobile phone market with fierce competition. In the more than one year since the launch of Hammer T1, based on the expectations of its supporters for T2, Lao Luo Lengbudding has produced a 1000 yuan machine and changed its name to "nut mobile phone", which is not only surprising, but also full of curiosity about nuts.

Since they want to share a share in the mobile phone competition of 1000 yuan, Lao Luo and his team must have devoted a lot of attention to nuts. Today, let's take a look at this "nut phone".

Unpacking and Appearance

The simple white packaging style is matched with the pictures of the back cover of the phone, rather than the front photo of the phone. It is impossible to have an intuitive initial impression of the nut phone from the outer packaging, which adds a sense of expectation.

Because I am used to using large screen mobile phones, the 5.5 inch 1080P high-definition large screen of Nut U1 will not feel uncomfortable in my hand. The back cover with the stripe design on the back improves the feel of the whole PC material body in the hand, and has a variety of colors to choose from, which is enough to attract more young people. In addition, the different colors of the back cover correspond to different themes and styles, which also makes the nut phone a bit more unique. Therefore, my first impression of nut U1 was "generous, decent, and not losing personality".

From hammer T1 to nut U1, the pursuit of symmetry aesthetics seems unattainable. On the top of nut U1, in addition to the 3.5mm standard headphone interface and noise reduction hole, a rectangular power key is also placed at the symmetrical position between the other side and the first two, which is very different from the current design that most power keys are on the left and right of the body. I don't know whether it is to create the beauty of symmetry or something else, but it is inconvenient to operate with one hand.

The bottom of the fuselage seems to be a highly combined design of obsessive-compulsive disorder and symmetrical aesthetics, with charging interface in the middle and speakers symmetrically on both sides. Through the test, only the left speaker is really available, not the dual speaker design, but the right speaker is purely for symmetrical decoration design, which has also been recognized by Lao Luo. However, there is no transmission hole at the bottom. I think the transmission hole should be hidden in it.

A rectangular key is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of nut U1. One side is the volume key, and the other side is the screen brightness adjustment key. You can also switch the left and right buttons in the setting bar and change other functions according to your usage habits. While in the off screen state, pressing these two keys at the same time can also quickly open the function and take pictures. In this way, you can capture many fleeting wonderful pictures, which is very convenient and practical. However, in the actual experience, for example, when the keys on both sides are stressed at the same time when holding in the hand, this design will also cause some misoperations. It seems that nut U1 needs to be adapted for a period of time.

The front of nut U1 has a three-stage design, which is very comfortable at a glance. From left to right, there are front camera, earpiece and distance light sensor in the middle of the upper part of the phone. This is the only asymmetric design we have seen so far. I think if conditions permit, Lao Luo will ask his team to integrate these three functions into one slot.

Speaking of camera, nut U1 gives a combination of front 500W+rear 1300W. The 1300W pixel rear is already the standard configuration of high-end mobile phones, so you can praise Nut U1 in this regard.

In addition, three function keys are evenly distributed at the bottom of the front of the phone, namely "Back", "Desktop" and "Menu key". Like the buttons on the side, the functions of the left and right buttons can be switched according to personal usage habits. From this point of view, more and more humanized design will make nuts win more applause.

I think the reason is that the back cover adopts a solid texture design to make the nut U1 feel better when holding it in the hand, and it has a new artistic style. However, the rear cover can not only change colors according to personal preferences, but also has good toughness. The folding angle of the hands folded more than 90 degrees almost in half will not be deformed or even broken, so it can effectively improve the fall resistance of the phone, which is worthy of recognition. The overall rear cover has nothing else but a camera and a flash in the upper left corner (the holes on the other side still seem to be symmetrical). It is very clean and clear.

After removing the back cover, we can clearly see that nut U1 has a 2900mAh non removable battery and a dual card slot design. Yes, we are right. It is the double card slot. This is a big change compared with the previous contempt of Luo for the double card slot. Slot 1 supports the 2G/3G/4G network of China Mobile and China Unicom, while slot 2 only supports the 2G network of China Mobile and China Unicom. However, compared with the current mainstream card slot design style, the nut U1 card slot design still stays in the same shape several years ago, giving people an unfashionable nostalgia, perhaps this is feelings.

The overall appearance of nut U1 gives a feeling of friendliness, conciseness and generosity. A large number of symmetrical aesthetic designs have also greatly improved the popularity of nut U1, and the literary style is more pleasing. If "feelings" are expressed by humanized design, then "ingenuity" should be shown in the processing technology. The processing of nut U1 is not different from other brands at the same price in the market, and there is no special excellence or obvious shortcomings. Therefore, Lao Luo's "ingenuity" is not prominent in nut U1.

System

The Hammer mobile phone is the Hammer ROM, in addition to Lao Luo's special attention. At present, all mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp are working on their own optimized systems, so Nut U1 uses the Smartisan OS 2.0 system, which is deeply optimized by basic Android 4.4, and the Smartisan OS system is undoubtedly successful. "Beautiful, simple, and easy to use" is my first impression of the system after experience.

The combination of 2GB running memory and 16GB body memory, together with Qualcomm's 8-core processor, makes the nut U1 feel smoother during the experience. Where various parameters are mentioned, the seriousness or trueness of Lao Luo will be highlighted. In terms of figures, Lao Luo is still very concerned. For example, the memory size is not the 1916MB running memory and 12.28GB body memory that I introduced, but is particularly accurate. He consciously eliminates the space occupied, so that users can know their real available space and do not play a sidekick. Although it is a small matter, the good feeling of being honest and not fooled by me arises spontaneously.

The UI design of nut U1 looks very distinctive, with distinctive icons and full personality. The arrangement design of Jiugongs makes users' search for applications more clear at a glance. In addition, in order to take care of your usage habits, you can also set it to the Sixteen Palace or Android native desktop style. If you are not accustomed to using the hammer ROM, you can easily cope with it through the guidance of the "Desktop Use Wizard" function.

The "obsessive-compulsive disorder option" and "one handed operation optimization" options in the settings are very humanized and can be adjusted according to the use habits of different users. These are places that are easy to be ignored, but from the point of view of users who are accustomed to being different from the public, this is quite humanized and user friendly detail optimization, and the popularity is doubled.

In terms of mobile phone screenshots, Nut U1 does not simply press the power and volume keys at the same time to screenshot and background. Instead, several common options are provided after screenshots, such as "share, scroll screenshots, cover phone box, graffiti" shown in the figure below, so that you can edit and label the screenshots in a timely manner. The above picture is not completed by third-party software, but by the scrolling screenshot function of Nut U1. Isn't it dazzling?

In the design of application icons, Lao Luo's style and feelings are fully revealed, including both the flat design which is similar to the public aesthetic design and the distinctive quasi physical personality design.

Although the hardware configuration of nut U1 is more than enough, it still meets the daily needs of ordinary users. The optimization of the system is more humanized than most of the current versions. It can be said that it is painstaking to start from the details and serve the user's usage habits. There are popular designs in line with the current popularity, but also personalized designs based on feelings, especially some designs with obsessive-compulsive disorder. They seem to be useless, but they bring great convenience when used. Therefore, although nut U1 is not the best, it is definitely a fast and simple mobile phone, which is worth recommending.

Photography and Game Experience

The above is a real shot of nut U1. From the photos, it can be seen that the white balance control ability of nut U1 is good, which is close to the real scene seen by the human eye. The color and saturation of the photos are also quite good. The operation interface of the camera function is also very simple and intuitive, and it provides a 9-grid photography auxiliary line, which is easy to get started.

In terms of game performance, although there will be a few seconds more waiting when entering a relatively large game such as Real Car Racing, the picture is exquisite, the process is smooth, and the performance is satisfactory.

After the unhappiness of Hammer T1 from the beginning of design to the launch, Lao Luo seems to have made a lot of changes in the mobile phone market, which can be seen from the release of 1000 yuan machine nut U1, as well as from Lao Luo's attitude at the launch of the special version of nut 19 mobile phone. However, its paranoid feelings and ingenuity spirit are still adhered to, which is actually not easy.

As a product that compromises and adapts to the market, nut U1 may shoulder too much hope. However, judging from the performance of nut U1, the attractive appearance design, personalized and easy to use hammer ROM and the friendly price of 899 yuan should make more people like nut mobile phones and recognize such a caring Lao Luo and his team, and also make people look forward to the subsequent products of hammer.
