Since Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, smart phones have really entered the touchscreen era. With the progress of technology and the increasing demand, various market segments have gradually formed. The three prevention smart phones are one of the important branches. Typical ones are Moto's Princess Diana and Sony's classic Z series. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers Huawei Lenovo has also launched similar products, which has also caused a wave of enthusiasm in the market. However, although the three prevention mobile phones are super protective, ordinary users will not necessarily pay for them. Whether to pursue a beautiful and fashionable appearance or reduce the waterproof and dust-proof standards, or to choose the highest level IP68 standard and sacrifice the appearance, the manufacturers are also constantly discussing, In fact, accurate market positioning is more important for such phones.

When it comes to domestic three prevention mobile phone brands, AGM travel mobile phone is one of the most popular mobile phones in this niche market. Its target users are very clear. It is a smart phone with super protection for friends who like outdoor sports and travel. Since the release of AGM A1, the manufacturer has launched AGM mini while the iron is hot. This mobile phone continues A1's unique appearance design and IP68 level protection, However, the appearance is more mini. At present, there are two styles of versions, namely, black sand customized version and post dynamic yellow version. At the same time, it supports 4G full Netcom, and the mobile phone signal area is wider. It can be said that it is a good partner of the donkey friends.

Appearance: fashionable and compact three proof smart phone

AGM mini is packed in a black box, simple and low-key. The yellow brand logo on the front consists of three letters A, G and M, forming a triangle structure with the best stability. It is also like three hills, which has a good image and moral.

The back of the box is the basic parameters and production information of the phone. This AGM MINI travel phone uses a 4.0 inch IPS screen, a Qualcomm Xiaolong four core 1.1GHz processor, 2600mAh lithium-ion battery, an 8 megapixel F2.2 large aperture SONY camera at the rear, a 2 megapixel camera at the front, protection certification IP68, and other levels. It has NFC functions. This evaluation is an experience version of Postaction Orange style.

The upper layer of the inner box is a mobile phone, and the lower layer is accessories. All items include 1 AGM mini mobile phone, 1 charging adapter, 1 MicroUSB data cable, 1 battery, 1 quick use manual, 1 warranty card, and 1 simple screwdriver.

The user manual and warranty card are made into the polygon shape of the phone, introducing the installation method of Sim card, Micro SD card and battery, as well as the description and precautions of each part of the phone. The charging adapter is 5V 1A, and the data cable is also bright orange with aluminum alloy wrapped plug, which looks very personalized.

The overall mobile phone feels masculine, but the orange and black matching design is also fashionable and eye-catching. The front is the Dragon hard screen imported from Japan, which has six times the hardness of the ordinary touch screen. Although the screen is only 4 inches, the size control of the whole machine is relatively good in the three prevention mobile phone, and the back shell has a strong line, full of science and technology.

Details: Exquisite workmanship is only more comfortable for outdoor use

For a three proof mobile phone, safe and stable use in various environments is the most important. To achieve this ability, not only solid materials and workmanship, but also exquisite design are required. AGM mini does a good job, which is also the basis of its IP68 protection level.

The phone body is made of high-strength plastic, black and orange, and the top and bottom are sanded. It is very textured, and you can see the unique twelve sided cutting process edges and corners of AGM phone. It is said that this design can enhance the fall resistance of the machine. The orange part is an imported soft rubber Bonaparte seal, which is 99% dustproof, Further strengthen the angle improvement brought by the twelve sided cutting process, and make up for the possible wear caused by edges and corners.

The two sides use three section high-strength aluminum alloy edging. The application of metal elements not only reflects the design aesthetics, but also enhances the three prevention performance of the phone, making the phone more solid and durable. The orange key strength feedback is slightly hard. The right side is the volume key. In addition to the power key, the left side is also designed with a multi-function key for photographing, which is suitable for outdoor use. The back shell uses a skin like layer, The touch is excellent. The camera, fastening screws and AGM nameplate are in harmony with the style of the mobile phone. It is a very beautiful design.

In order to ensure the IP68 waterproof performance of the mobile phone, the 3.5mm audio port on the top of the mobile phone and the MicroUSB interface seal cover on the bottom of the mobile phone are fastened with screws instead of ordinary mobile phone rubber connections. The audio port also uses an O-ring inside, and the MicroUSB interface also uses a tooth shaped reinforced fastening design inside, However, in addition to the two fastening screws visible outside to prevent the back cover from falling off, the back cover, as a key waterproof part, uses a second layer of back cover with waterproof O-ring inside to ensure the waterproof safety of the battery compartment. Waterproof design is also used at speaker holes, Mic holes, etc.

Sim card and Micro SD card cabin are designed in the battery cabin, which is very safe. Sim card cabin is a standard small card. Sim1 marks 4G and LTE, Sim2 identifies GSM, but in use, putting a 4G card into Sim2 will also display 4G signals. Of course, this mobile phone is called All Netcom. It perfectly supports other frequency bands except the 3G mobile phone does not support. Of course, the telecom card is also perfectly supported, but it cannot use two telecom cards at the same time. In addition, the SD card supports 32G at most, which is a limited supplement to smaller memory.

System: smooth, but deep customization needs to be strengthened

In the Android mobile phone market, most well-known mobile phone brands use the Android based in-depth customization system, which on the one hand is more suitable for the domestic use environment, on the other hand, the system is more beautiful and user-friendly. However, AGM three prevention smart phones still use the native Android system. Although it is the latest 5.1 version, and the system is relatively simple, Lack of humanized customization function.

Maybe I have seen too many MIUIs For deeply customized systems such as COLOR OS, the native Android interface looks rather old-fashioned, and is not accustomed to the shortcut key style of the drop-down status bar. There are few types to choose from. Although the two-stage drop-down is an innovation, it is actually not better. Because it is a dual card dual standby, there are two choices for dialing and SMS functions, one card and two cards, which are distinguished by color, This is quite convenient.

There are few new things about system settings. The most prominent feature of Android 5.1 is the addition of a user system, but it doesn't feel useful. After all, the mobile phone is still for personal use, while the old version of the menu button has been changed to a task key, which makes it very painful to touch by mistake when playing games. In addition, there is a printing service in the settings, I feel that many functions of PC are reflected in Android OS, and it seems that Android system is becoming more and more powerful.

This AGM mini phone has only 8GB of memory, which is obviously not enough for the growing applications, and the expansion of SD card applications is also limited. However, this phone also has its own characteristics, such as timing on/off, camera button settings NFC touches functions such as payment, but there is no relevant built-in application for NFC functions. This system really needs to make great efforts to carry out in-depth development.

As a three prevention smart phone, AGM mini can also be paired with Tourbao, which is convenient to use on the journey. It has the functions of temperature and humidity, compass, mobile power, anti loss, photography, flashlight and SOS. Tourbao needs to be purchased separately. It is also a good accessory for those who love outdoor sports.

Performance: low running score, basically enough for daily use

According to the score evaluation of Anthare, the score of this mobile phone is only over 20000, which only reaches the level of Hongmi mobile phone 2. It is relatively low for most models in the current thousand yuan mobile phone market. After all, it is the A1 mini version that focuses on three defenses, and its hardware configuration is also lower than the previous A1.

From the perspective of running details, the performance of UX and RAM is less different from that of mainstream models, which should be due to the optimization of Android 5.1 system. After all, the running memory is only 1GB, while the CPU is 4-core Cortex-A71.1GHz, so the performance gap is slightly larger, In terms of 3D performance, the short board is the most obvious. Anthare shows that the GPU renderer is Adreno 304. It can also be seen that the processor of this mobile phone should be Qualcomm's Snapdragon 210 chip, which is mainly targeted at the entry-level market. However, the performance of this mobile phone in terms of network is not obvious from the middle and high-end processors. In addition, the gap between this mobile phone and the mainstream models in terms of html5 testing is not large, For general daily multi task operation, as long as 3D requirements are not too high, they should be competent.

From other hardware parameter information, AGM mini phone does not have many highlights. Its screen resolution is only 800 × 480, and it only supports five touch. However, the color performance is good, the picture is exquisite, and the definition is high. The sensor has gravity sensing, light sensing, and distance sensing.

However, although the score is not high, it is still a bit unexpected in the convenient performance of the game. General small and medium-sized games can run smoothly. Even the MOB online game of King Glory can cope with it calmly without being stuck. However, due to the small memory, it is impossible to install the top flight car 17 I like, so I have to give up. After all, this mobile phone is not the main game.

In terms of power consumption, this mobile phone is well controlled. The built-in 2600mAh lithium battery is very durable. The manufacturer claims that it can stand by for 120 hours and talk for 450 minutes when fully charged. After a recent trial, every day, except during working hours, it will use the mobile phone to watch videos, play games, and occasionally take photos. However, there are not many phone messages throughout the day, which can be used for almost two days, The main reason is that its standby power consumption is extremely low. Even if it is used in high intensity, it can generally last for a day, which is also due to good power management, low power consumption chips and small screens. In terms of charging, the original 5V 1A charging adapter can be used to charge in about 3 hours, while the smart charger can be used to charge a little faster, But not too much.

Photo: Surprise brought by 8 million pixels

The photographing function can be said to be the most commonly used function of mobile phones. The main feature of this AGM mini is the "three prevention" function. At first, there was not much expectation for its photographing function. After all, the 8 megapixel camera has already gone through the bad street, and the flagship mobile phone has reached 16 megapixels. It is this gap that impressed me deeply in the photographing experience.

The system has few camera function settings, and there are also some humanized functions, such as countdown photography, auxiliary line, smiling face photography, face detection, red eye elimination, shooting location recording, etc. However, in use, we found that the image editing function is quite good. Although it is not as good as the special map repair app, it is simple with filters, borders, clipping and color mixing, It's easy to make pictures of different styles, and the effect is good.

Since there is no function of manually setting the focus, ISO and exposure time, all the following live photos are manually selected as the focus, and then click the shutter to take photos. The white balance is in the automatic mode.

From the indoor macro shot, we can see that the image is clear, the saturation is high, and the details are rich.

In terms of perspective, the overall color of this picture of the old city wall is relatively natural, especially the blue of the sky is beautiful, and the riverside picture is not rich in details due to backlighting.

The themes of barbed wire, peach blossom and cherry blossom are prominent, and the screen has a strong sense of hierarchy, reflecting the virtual effect of the background under a large aperture.

Night photography is a little difficult. It is easy to cause the picture to be not clear enough when shooting by hand, especially the noise in the dark part of the second picture is very obvious. In any case, I was surprised by the camera function of this phone. If I choose the right environment and use some shooting techniques, I can also take good photos.

Three prevention: waterproof, dustproof and fall proof

AGM The mobile phone brand focuses on the "three prevention" function of mobile phones. The brand label comes from the manufacturer's technical strength and confidence. There are so many "three prevention" mobile phones on the market, but few can really stand the test AGM mini In the process of "three prevention" performance, the bugs have no difficulty AGM mini 。

First, conduct a dust test. According to the IP68 standard, this mobile phone also reaches the highest level of dust prevention. The manufacturer claims that it is 99% dust proof. Bugs put the mobile phone in the mud and threw dirt on it. The mobile phone has been turned into a mess. If it is your beloved iPhone, you will definitely feel pain, but this is AGM, The dust prevention effect will be checked after the next waterproof test.

Put the mobile phone covered with mud under the faucet to wash it. It has to be said that the mobile phone is waterproof. If it is dirty, it can be washed directly, which is convenient and fast. Of course, water washing does not reflect the waterproof ability of the mobile phone. Generally, the mobile phone that reaches IP67 can be washed, but AGM mini reaches the highest waterproof level of IP68, It allows the phone to soak in the water 1.5 meters deep without problems, because the deeper the water is, the greater the pressure is. This three prevention smart phone was tossed in the washbasin for almost half an hour, but other functions are not affected except the water drops on the screen that will affect the touch screen operation.

Open the back cover of the phone, you can see that there are many water stains on the second back cover, but after opening the back cover, you can find that there is no water stain or dust in the battery compartment. During use, you also found that when the phone is underwater, the touch screen is basically unavailable, and the speaker is filled with water, so the sound will be very low. If you take the phone out of the water, you will find this problem, Wipe the water stains in the speaker with a paper towel.

In terms of the fall resistance test, the external design of this mobile phone was introduced above. What's the effect? The bug made the mobile phone land vertically from a height of about 1.2 meters, so the shooting angle was not adjusted properly once. The mobile phone fell several times. After careful inspection, it was found that, AGM mini After the above three tests, except for a few scratches left on the phone case and screen film, the phone function is completely normal. It can be seen that the three prevention effect of this phone is really powerful. Therefore, this phone has extremely wide adaptability. With the design of All Netcom, it can keep the phone open at any time and anywhere. This phone is the best choice for donkey friends.
