On March 29, Jinli released a new generation of flip double screen smart machine Tianjian W909, The machine is equipped with dual 4.2 inch flip screens, fingerprint recognition, 16 million pixel camera, Helio P10+4G memory+64G storage. In addition to configuration, the key words of W900 and press conference are "ingenuity".
In fact, Jinli has always had its own flip smart machine series, but different from the previous generation of W800/808, W900, etc., Tianjian W909 is definitely the most high-profile machine in the family series in terms of both appearance design and performance. In addition to Samsung W series, it is now the highest configuration flip smartphone.
appearance
W909 The color of the fuselage is very delicate, between rose gold and red, with a color similar to red copper.
The design of the fuselage is very tough and commercial. The front is a full black 2.5D glass panel. fuselage The forehead is a brushed metal plate, the rough hexagon screws have concentric circular lines, and the logo also has its own diagonal lines.
The chin is a hidden type of Andro Three King Kong, and the backlight brightness is relatively low-key.
The top part is an independent rotating shaft, and the bottom part only has noise reduction microphone openings.
The upper and lower parts of the body are symmetrically designed. The left side of the body is the volume key, and the right side is the power key and USB Type-C interface with cover. It is worth noting that W909 also integrates headphone interface into Type-C.
The 4.2 inch screen body is small, and even if the corners are square, it has good single hand operability.
The W909 retains the design of a detachable back cover. The back cover is designed with imitation leather stitching, and the battery capacity is 2530mAh.
The 16 megapixel camera, with f-1.8 aperture, does not support optical anti shake. Below is the flash and fingerprint identification module. The machine supports the expansion of dual mirco SIM cards (commonly known as medium cards) and TF cards. The location of the battery compartment is very thin, and it is likely that all circuit boards are concentrated on the upper part of the machine body.
The machine looks very aggressive when the flip is opened.
Both inside and outside are 4.2 inch 720P IPS screens. The screen fineness and visual angle are satisfactory, but the default theme adjustment and body color are quite similar.
The Jiugongge keyboard is decorated with brushed stripes, and the keys are huge, which will evoke the familiar touch that has not been seen for a long time.
operation
The biggest difference between W909 and conventional mobile phones is its dual screen and keyboard. The machine provides two modes of closing and flip:
In the cover closing mode, there is no doubt that the volume on the left side, the power key on the right side, the light screen and the rest screen, and the three Android King Kong keys are the same. Long press the setting button to call up the multi task interface. It is worth noting that there is no receiver outside, so you can only open the cover when answering the phone.
In flip mode, the power key on the right side of the flip does not work anymore, but the screen will automatically light up after flip and pressing the keyboard. The inner screen also supports multi touch control, but the positions of the three diamond keys of Android have been moved to the nine grid keyboard.
In terms of operation, I feel that Jinli officials are trying to "reproduce" the traditional operation logic of the clamper. The keyboard has direction, confirm, return and set buttons, while the traditional Home key is "transferred" to the hang up button (below the photo key) , it is fresh to use.
The arrow keys can move on the screen to select different elements
Click the numeric keypad in any interface to directly enter the dialing interface. The shutter button can directly wake up the camera, which can be opened quickly. The physical shutter button is also a long lost experience.

Of course, the most important function of the keyboard is to dial and type. Although the physical buttons are more powerful, the speed may not be faster than the virtual buttons, but the physical Jiugongs feel really cool. Physical keyboard input will not occupy screen space, and it will be more comfortable to use.
system
W909 is equipped with EGOS1.0 system and Amigo 3.2 is a system of two branches, and the interface styles are very obvious.
The system retains the secondary menu and preloads third-party applications such as Dou Di Zhu and iQIYI, but it can be uninstalled by itself.
Notification bar, shortcut button and multitasking interface are the same as those of active mobile phones.
Although it is based on Android 5.1, it may be because of the taste of target users, the style of setting menus and icons has deliberately maintained the feeling before Android 4.0.
The system camera is similar to the Jinli S8, which supports plug-ins and separation of focus and metering.
Summary
In terms of workmanship, the fuselage frame is made of plastic, but the texture and appearance are very similar to metal, and the seam control is good. The virtual position of each key is very small, with buffer gap, slightly hard, but the press feedback is clear.
The mechanical parts such as the fuselage shaft are very thick. The flap resistance and the sound of closing can only be described just right. The details of these mechanical parts are really good.
In terms of hand feel, the material has an excellent touch. The keyboard part is thin and light, but the overall weight cannot be avoided. Moreover, the screen part is double screen, and the component is much larger than expected. The center of gravity will be significantly forward after flip. Of course, perhaps this is the weight of business people's habits and hopes (laugh).
In terms of the use experience, the logic of integrating Android into the keyboard clamper is quite new to many people, but it has no flaws. It can be seen that this is a series that has undergone many generations of changes, and it is relatively easy to use.
After the launch of the iPhone, folding phones have become a very unpopular category. But before that, they were the real mainstream in the era of Nokia, Sony Ericsson and other slide and flip machines. Many users from that era want a familiar mobile phone with modern operating system.
For many users who do not even have the opportunity to experience the era of non smart machines, the first time they encounter a machine that integrates Android and clamshell machines is like seeing another world through one device. The freshness in their eyes may be familiar to other people.
