It is an indisputable fact that the development of smart phones has entered the era of excess performance. Many domestic manufacturers have released their own 1000 yuan flagship machines: Meilan Metal, LeEco 1s, Glory 5X The mid tier flagship of about 2000 yuan was placed in an awkward position. Huawei G7 Plus is a flagship mobile phone with Huawei Mate S launched in Berlin in September this year. Its performance is not outstanding, I wonder if it can break into a world in the domestic market that has been spoiled by domestic thousand yuan machines.
The packaging box of Huawei G7 Plus continues the design style of Huawei P8.
Taking out the box, the huge sense of damping shows that Huawei is meticulous in the packaging of this mid end flagship machine, and the mobile phone is still inserted vertically in the box. This design has become a popular style of Huawei this year.
In addition to the mobile phone, charger, manual and warranty card, G7 Plus also includes a headset. What is less generous is that the charging head is still 5V/1A.
Take out the mobile phone, the 5.5 inch screen size, relatively round corner design, The G7 Plus does not appear particularly large.
The black panel looks good under the off screen, and the HUAWEI logo below is very eye-catching.
One of the biggest highlights of Huawei G7 Plus is the 2.5D curved glass, which adds a lot of flexibility to the whole mobile phone.
The 2.5D curved glass will bring different sensory experience visually, and the improvement of touch will be discussed later.
The thickness of the fuselage is moderate, and the black panel with the silver fuselage is a very classic design.
On the right side of the fuselage are the power key and volume key. The power key is cast with concentric circle texture, Special touch, powerful feedback.
There is no key on the left side of the fuselage, only a card slot on the top.
Huawei G7 Plus is still a three in two card slot The RIO-UL00 in my hand is a dual 4G version of China Mobile Unicom, which can support the 4G network of China Mobile/China Unicom. However, if you want to use extended storage, you must abandon a SIM card slot.
The top of the front of the fuselage is 5 megapixel front camera The light and distance sensors are well hidden under the black panel, and the earpiece adopts a concave design. Although the appearance is improved, it will not destroy the harmony of the overall appearance It is inevitable to worry about the problem of ash feeding.
There is no touch key at the bottom of the front of the phone The virtual touch keys of Android system are designed on the screen. With a clean chin and eye-catching HUAWEI logo, G7 Plus is still quite recognizable.
The back of the fuselage is a relatively classic three-stage design Since Mate 7, this style has been perfected by Huawei, and it has been passed on to G7 Plus again.
The main body of the back is made of a large area of metal material, which extends to the middle frame and intersects with the front 2.5D glass. Ceramic sand blasting process The whole metal backplane has a distinct texture and comfortable touch, It retains the brilliance and coldness that the metal fuselage should have. The process adopted by Meilan Metal runs counter to it.
Huawei LOGO and mobile phone information are printed on the lower back. It is worth mentioning that G7 Plus (China Mobile/Unicom) and Maimang 4 (China Telecom) are actually different systems of the same model. If you want to distinguish them from the appearance, you can only use the two lines of small characters here. Maimang 4 will have a Maimang LOGO and G7 Plus will not.
Huawei G7 Plus and Huawei P8 are equipped with the same model 13 megapixel RGB W camera , equipped with dual color temperature flash lamp. The fingerprint identification area is directly below the camera The second generation FPC fingerprint identification unlocking scheme.
In the whole body design of Huawei G7 Plus, a very commendable point is the unique antenna processing. In order not to damage the integrity of the metal middle frame, the G7 Plus actually "dug" two small areas on the entire metal body and "plugged" the polycarbonate material used to charge the antenna signal overflow port. Fine checkered texture and precise assembly process , so that it does not appear particularly abrupt, there is no obvious sense of drop to the touch, and there is no sense of hand cutting.
On the top of the body is a 3.5mm headphone interface and a noise reducing microphone. The headphone interface is placed in the center of the middle frame, which is enough to reflect Huawei's ultimate pursuit of appearance and technology. The antenna processing mentioned in the previous paragraph can be seen here to improve the metal integrity of the entire middle frame of the phone.
The bottom of the fuselage is a standard Micro USB charging interface, It is a little pity that Type - C was not adopted. There are six uniform round openings on both sides of the connector, one side is a speaker, and the other side is hidden with a microphone. Further out, there are two antenna overflow strips with nano injection molding technology, which will not have a great impact on the appearance.
As mentioned earlier, one of the major features of G7 Plus in appearance is 2.5D curved glass, while the edge of the transition between the metal middle frame and the screen also uses Cutting treatment of CNC The whole middle frame has a layer of beautiful flash, and the screen edge is also wrapped with a plastic buffer layer, which makes a perfect transition with the screen edge. These two exquisite designs raise the touch of the screen edge to a higher level.
As for the overall impression of G7 Plus, I think It can be described as round and smooth.
Hold it in your hand. With a 5.5 inch screen size, it's not a big problem to hold it in a single hand. But if you want to operate the screen, it may be more convenient to use both hands.
In this grip, It is very easy to press the fingerprint identification module, Realize the function of unlocking the screen.
In terms of hardware, Huawei G7 Plus uses 1080P TFT screen, resolution 401ppi, Color temperature tuning is biased towards warm colors. use Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, 2G memory and 16G storage configuration, together with 3000mAh battery, has medium end performance and good endurance. Unfortunately, there is no 3G memory or 32G storage version to choose from, and fast charging is not supported.
In terms of system, The EMUI 3.1 system based on Android 5.1 has become mature, The functions are basically complete in all aspects. Although they are inferior to the top MIUI and Flyme of domestic ROMs in terms of function and experience, they also claim that the system is reliable and stable.
It can be said that G7 Plus is one of the few mobile phones that I have experienced recently, Especially the meticulous metal body and exquisite workmanship The 2.5D curved glass adds color to the appearance of the mobile phone.
However, Under the gorgeous appearance, the awkward hardware configuration and performance may also deter consumers. At the price of 2000 yuan, it is almost possible to buy the flagship mobile phones of domestic mobile phone manufacturers. The chip of Snapdragon 616 has also been used on the Hongmi 3, which costs 699 yuan. Huawei G7 Plus still insists on whether it can achieve sales success at the price of 2099 yuan. This goes back to the question at the beginning of the article, Will ordinary consumers, who have been spoiled by the 1000 yuan mobile phone in the era of excess performance, pay for a mobile phone with insufficient performance and appearance?
