Since August 26, 2015, 360 Qiku mobile phone held its first new product launch conference in Beijing, Qiku youth version and Qiku flagship have been launched in succession, and have been widely praised by everyone. On January 14, 2016, 360 mobile phone held a new product launch conference in Beijing, "the best future is yet to come". At the conference, 360 mobile phone Qiku flagship geek version, the flagship model for the beginning of 2016, was released, which is equipped with 4G operating memory, 128G eMMC 5.0 high-speed flash memory, Sharp 2K sunshine health screen and standard All Netcom 2.0; Wang Kai was invited to become the "brand spokesperson" of 360 mobile phones. This is the first time that Wang Kai has endorsed products since his debut 10 years ago, and it is also the first time that 360 hardware has used the spokesperson to shape the brand. From Qiku Youth Edition to Qiku Flagship Edition, and now to Qiku Flagship Geek Edition, I have the honor to accompany Qiku mobile phones along the way, witness the development and progress of Qiku mobile phones, and experience the constantly optimized 360 OS system. Today, I bring you an in-depth evaluation of Qiku Flagship Geek Edition of 360 mobile phones, Let's really experience the performance of this 360 mobile phone at the beginning of 2016.

——First sight - Unpacking——

The outer packaging of the mobile phone is the first thing we have contact with this mobile phone. A creative mobile phone packaging box can give us a good impression of this mobile phone. 360 Qiku's flagship geek edition ingeniously designs the outer packing box into a book style, which is similar to our latest Xinhua dictionary. The design is very creative. We can also see the serious attitude of Qiku to make mobile phones from this red book.

The packaging box of Qiku's flagship geek version uses the same book design as that of Qiku's flagship version. The creativity is really good, but if it can be different from the ordinary version, it should show the special identity of the geek version, For example, you can use a new black color scheme or print Wang Kai's promotional image on the surface of the packaging box like the flagship version of Qiku in Rose Gold.

Those who have seen the flagship version of Qiku should be familiar with this packaging box. At the bottom of the back of the packaging box are some descriptions of the features and basic configuration information of 360 Qiku's flagship geek version. The white label on the right is printed with information such as the color, weight and production date of the mobile phone. We can have a simple understanding of the mobile phone through these introductions.

The opening of Qiku's flagship packaging box is like reading a book. On the first page of the "book", we can find a signed photo of Wang Kai, which is the only difference between the geek version and the flagship version. However, the signature on the photo is printed, not handwritten. This is a little pity. In fact, we can consider some limited edition handwritten signature versions.

Turning over the color pages of the previous two pages about the appearance of the phone, black and white smart dual camera and 360OS, we can see the 360 Qiku flagship geek phone. Most of the front area of the phone is occupied by the black screen. The area of the upper and lower white panels is maximized. The visual impact of 83% of the ultra-high screen is still very impressive.

Take out the mobile phone on the upper layer, and place a red paper box, USB charging cable and charging plug neatly on the lower layer of the packaging box. The internal space is fully utilized, and the accessories are also placed firmly. In addition, there are some thoughtful designs that are convenient for picking up accessories. The details are still worthy of recognition.

In addition to the basic quick charging plug and USB charging cable, the accessories in the packaging box also have a Micro SIM card holder. The Geek version uses 5V2.2A/9V2.2A charging plug, which can achieve rapid charging by increasing the output current; The USB charging cable of the geek version has also been specially designed. An LED light is added below the Micro USB interface of the data cable. Compared with the current popular Type-C interface, it is easier for us to find the phone charging connector in the dark night. However, I prefer the Type-C interface.

360 Qiku's flagship geek version is rich in accessories. In addition to the charging cable and plug, it is also equipped with a Micro SIM card, a mobile phone film, and a PC protective case. Basically, you can use it without purchasing additional accessories. However, since the mobile phone is equipped with a film, it is better to paste the film directly from the factory, which is more considerate. It also eliminates the need for some partners who are not strong in hands-on skills to find someone else to help with the film. From this point of view, compared with most other mobile phone manufacturers in online channels, Qiku mobile phones are also very sincere.

——Appreciation · Appearance——

Now we will continue to enter into the appearance appreciation section of the Qiku flagship geek version. If you have passed the Qiku flagship version before, you can directly ignore this introduction, because there is basically no major change in the appearance, but after a period of mass production, the geek version has significantly improved in terms of workmanship compared with the flagship version, Some seams and details on the phone are also more detailed.

360 Qiku's flagship geek version is equipped with a 6-inch Sharp 2K sunshine health screen on the front. Compared with the 1080p screen of the flagship version, the display effect is more exquisite. The front uses 2.5D curved glass, which has an ultra-high screen proportion of up to 83%. In addition to the 1.4mm ultra narrow frame, the visual effect in the rest screen state is very impressive. Of course, because of the ID frameless design, black edges are inevitable, but because of the 6-inch large screen, black edges look acceptable.

The back of the phone adopts a 165 degree palm arc design, and the thinnest part is only 3.5mm. It looks slim from the side. There is a large metal trimming design around the front of the phone, which is beautiful but not scratch resistant. It is recommended to use it with the phone case. Due to the all metal body, the weight of the body is 192g, and it feels good to hold it in your hand. However, when you lie in bed and play with your mobile phone, you will feel a more obvious sense of falling, and you will feel obvious fatigue after a long time of use.

From left to right on the top of the front screen of the phone are: LED indicator light, sensor, earpiece and front camera. The LED indicator light is of hidden design. The system will light up only when it is charged or in the status of message reminder by default, and can also be set manually; At the bottom of the screen are three physical touch keys, from left to right: menu key, HOME key and return key. In such a high proportion of screens, it is really good to stick to the physical touch key design, but there is no backlight for the keys, so it is slightly inconvenient to operate at night. It is recommended to add backlight design.

There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the mobile phone, and two white plastic partitions on both ends of the metal trimming, which is designed to facilitate signal reception; In the middle of the bottom is a Micro USB socket. The left side of the socket is the main microphone socket of the phone, and the right side of the socket is five speaker sockets. The volume of the phone is still relatively high. However, when the volume is adjusted to the maximum, there will be broken sound. Moreover, as a geek version, it is a pity that the HiFi system has not been added.

360 Qiku's flagship geek version adopts an integrated metal body design. The back of the phone adopts the three-stage design commonly used by most metal body phones. The upper and lower ends are made of plastic, which can enhance the reception effect of the phone signal. The middle part is made of aviation aluminum alloy. The seam between metal and plastic is smooth to touch by hand, without cutting the hand. Diamond sandblasting process is adopted on the surface of the back cover of the phone, which not only feels comfortable, but also can effectively prevent fingerprints. However, the color of the plastic part is significantly darker than that of the metal part, which has a slight impact on the overall beauty.

360 Qiku flagship geek version has two 1300W pixel cameras on the back. The top camera uses Sony IMX278 (RGBW) color sensor. Each pixel adds white pixels, which increases light input by 40%, reduces noise in low light environment by 78%, and captures color images full-time; The camera below adopts Sony Mono black and white night vision sensor, which is responsible for the details and outlines, and has 4 times more light input than the ordinary color sensor. On the left side of the camera is a noise reducing microphone, and on the right side are two LED flash lights with dual color temperature. Below is a fingerprint smart key, which supports fingerprint unlocking and fingerprint payment functions. An independent security area is set in the chip, and the unlocking speed is good under the silent screen state. The logo of QIKU and the logo of "Powered by 360" are in the middle of the lower back of the phone, which shows its identity and origin.

On the right side of the phone is the volume key and the power key. "Volume+" and "Volume -" are designed in one. The keys are made of metal. The surface is also diamond sandblasted. The edge and the frame are also closely combined. The feedback force of the keys is hard.

There are two SIM card slots on the left border of the phone. The upper SIM1 slot supports Micro SIM phone cards, and the lower SIM2 slot supports Nano SIM phone cards and Micro SD cards. It supports up to 64GB of memory expansion, but only one of the two can be selected. Of course, for the flagship geek version of Qiku, the memory expansion function is basically unavailable for 128GB of mass storage. It adopts adaptive seamless card holder, which fits closely with the frame. After the card holder is inserted, almost no gap can be seen.

——Taste · System——

For a mobile phone, the mobile phone system is the most direct user experience of the mobile phone. In the current period when most mobile phone hardware configurations are too prosperous, the impact of hardware configurations on a mobile phone is actually not great, and the role of the mobile phone system is more important. 360 Qiku's flagship geek version is equipped with a 360OS system based on Android 5.1 in-depth customization. 360 OS makes your Android system more usable in a variety of excellent and natural ways. Relying on the accumulation of more than 2500 security technology experts from 360, and going deep into the bottom of the system, we have made a lot of optimization in terms of smoothness. At the same time, we have introduced the advanced touch screen power saving technology PowerXtend to further improve the performance, endurance and security of the Android system.

Now let's have a brief understanding of the 360 OS interface. On the main page of the system, we can see that the system icons have been redesigned, mainly in square and circular styles. The third-party application icons are basically square, and occasionally circular. The dark wallpaper used by the system by default should be designed to match the ID borderless design. The lock screen interface is simple, only there is a "camera" shortcut button in the lower right corner of the interface, and the unlocking method is to slide to the right.

The dial-up, contact and SMS interfaces of the system are also very simple, and you can quickly switch to the corresponding interface through the switch button on the top of the interface. SMS can automatically merge notification SMS messages. However, the popular Yellow Pages function is not added here, which is not convenient enough. You can consider entering this function later.

In the main interface of the system, you can enter the system notice bar interface by clicking down at any position. In addition to viewing system notices, there are many common shortcut function keys. Slide up from the bottom of the main interface of the system to call up a separate shortcut function key interface, Long press the "HOME" key of the mobile phone to enter the recent task interface of the system, which is displayed in a mixed way of cards and application icons. It is simple and intuitive. The one button cleaning operation can be carried out through the chart below.

The system has built-in themes, app stores and game center options. We can easily replace themes, wallpapers, ringing tones and fonts, and also download applications and games. We don't need to look for game applications everywhere, but also ensure the security of applications. There are also plenty of free resources in themes, wallpapers, ringing tones and fonts, It is convenient for you to personalize your mobile phone.

The system setting interface can be divided into six options according to the function type of options: network and connection, common settings, notification and permission, security and privacy account, and local application settings. The classification is very detailed, so that you can quickly find the corresponding setting options as needed. Through the setting interface, you can also view the phone configuration and update the system.

360 has accumulated rich experience in security, 360OS also has a "security center" function customized for Qiku mobile phones. It is different from 360 security guards in other mobile phones. In it, we can perform one click cleaning, cleaning acceleration, flow control, harassment interception, secure payment, permission management, and mobile phone antivirus. Click the icon below, It can also carry out mobile phone backup and mobile phone anti-theft operations, and has carried out detailed security design specifically for property, privacy, permissions and other aspects, which can play a more comprehensive role in protecting our mobile phones.

——In depth · Measurement——

The above is mainly to share with you the appearance and 360OS system of this 360 Qiku flagship geek version. Now I will take you to actually experience the performance of this 360 Qiku flagship geek version. Here I will share with you the actual experience of this phone through some test software and measured data.

Performance score: Although it is no longer popular to compete for points now, it may be my personal habit that I cannot help running for points after I get a phone. In fact, the performance score of the phone can reflect the performance of this phone to some extent. We selected two commonly used scoring software Anthare and Master Lu to test the mobile phone. Anthare scored 68433 points, but the ranking is still in the middle level. Master Lu scored 50252 points, which is the middle level. The gap is mainly in the processor. If we can upgrade to the latest Qualcomm 820 processor, it will be even more geeky.

Browser performance test: Vellamo is a benchmark application developed by Qualcomm. It can measure the performance and stability of machine browsers, including Java script performance, rendering, networking and user interface. Of course, the higher the score, the better the performance of the browser provided by the system, and the better the web browsing experience. From the score, the Qiku browser provided by the system is still very good. Of course, the browser can be changed freely. If you don't like the browser provided by the system, you can directly uninstall the system browser to use a third-party browser, But in other mobile phone systems, even if you don't want to use the browser that comes with the system, you can't uninstall it.

Graphics processor test: NenaMark2 is a hardware accelerated benchmark test program for Android devices. It tests the graphics capabilities of mobile phones by demonstrating a real-time rendered image, including reflection, dynamic shadows, surface parameters, complex light modes, etc. The higher the score, the stronger the processor's capabilities. The test result of NenaMark2 is 60.5fps. From this score, it can be seen that the graphics processing ability of Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 is still good. Of course, it is still far from the latest Snapdragon 820.

Video test: 360 Qiku flagship geek version is equipped with Sharp 2K sunshine health screen, which makes the video display clearer and more exquisite. The test results show that the video player provided by the system is still very powerful. Basically, all video formats are supported, but only three formats are not supported. However, at present, the system player can only play local videos, and does not support online video functions. If you want to watch videos online, you can only download some third-party playing software, This is a little inconvenient.

Signal test: 360 Qiku's flagship geek version adopts an all metal integrated design. Since metal interferes with the reception of signals, plastic materials are used at the upper and lower ends of the back of the phone to ensure stable reception of signals. Let's actually test the signal strength of the phone. After the actual test, the WiFi signal of the mobile phone has basically not received any impact. The 4G network signal of the mobile phone in the indoor test is basically maintained between - 92dBm and - 98dBm. The mobile phone signal on the top is missing a grid. The outdoor test value is basically maintained between - 75dBm and - 77dBm. The outdoor signal reception is very good, It seems that the design of 360 Qiku's flagship geek version specifically for signal reception is quite effective, but the data is just for reference, depending on the actual use effect. The personal use of these days is still very clear and smooth.

Game test: Games are also a way to test the performance of mobile phones. However, because most of the current mobile phone hardware configurations are in surplus, some large-scale 3D mobile phone games can be easily controlled even if they are priced at 1000 yuan. So here we choose two games: Real Racing 3 and NBA 2K15. First of all, I did a simple test on the real car 3. The whole game process was smooth without any stuck phenomenon. The 2K resolution screen also made the game more clear and delicate. Then I had another experience of NBA 2K15. When the game was just loaded, it would be slightly stuck. There was no stuck phenomenon during the whole process of the game. Especially when the game was played back in close range, the expression changes of the characters were also clearly visible. For these two games, the 360 Qiku flagship geek mobile phone is very good in terms of color performance and running smoothness.

Measured power consumption: The biggest power consumption in mobile phones is usually video and games. 360 Qiku's flagship geek version is equipped with a 6-inch 2K resolution large screen, which is great for watching videos or playing games. Here is a simple practical test of the power consumption of mobile phone video playback. Select Youku video pre installed in the system for online playback test. The sound is adjusted to 50%, and the brightness is adjusted to the maximum. After one hour of continuous playback, the power consumption is reduced from 61% to 44%, and the power consumption is 17%. For a 2K resolution screen, this power consumption is good. Of course, If you reduce the brightness, the power consumption will certainly be reduced. If you are not a heavy user, you can easily cope with it after a day of use.

Fast charge measurement: 360 Qiku's flagship mobile phone uses an intelligent charging plug with 5V2.2A/9V2.2A power output, which can quickly recharge the phone. Using the original charging plug and charging line, we can see that the voltage is 9.09V, the current reaches 2.03A, and the phone is automatically turned off. Select the "fast charging" mode. After five minutes of charging when the screen is off, the phone's power is increased from 0% to 10%. After 30 minutes of charging, 61% of the battery is charged. It took only 53 minutes to fill the 3700mAh battery. The fast charging effect is very powerful.

Charging comparison: In order to give you a more intuitive impression of the fast charging effect of 360 Qiku's flagship geek version, here we use the ordinary 5V2A/9V1.2A smart charging plug to conduct a down charging test on the mobile phone, use the original charging line, only replace the charging plug, the voltage is 8.78V, and the current is only 1.48A,. After 5 minutes of charging, the charge capacity increases by 7%. After 30 minutes of continuous charging, the charge capacity is 41%. Through simple data comparison, it can be seen that the turbo flash charge of 360 Qiku's flagship geek version has significantly improved the charging speed.

——Double Photography · Camera——

360 Qiku flagship geek rear camera adopts dual 1300W pixel camera, and Sony IMX278 (RGBW) is used above The lower part of the color sensor is Sony Mono black and white night vision sensor. The former adds white pixels to each pixel, increasing the light input by 40%, and reducing the noise in low light environment by 78%. It is dedicated to capturing color images, while the latter is responsible for details and outlines, which is four times more than the ordinary color sensor. Equipped with 6P lens and F1.8 large aperture, the 6P lens greatly improves the resolution of the camera while enhancing the uniformity of light transmission. The actual imaging effect is as follows. Let me go to the actual experience.

The camera operation interface of 360 Qiku's flagship geek version is very simple. There are three buttons at the bottom of the interface. On the left is the album option, in the middle is the capture button, and on the right is the filter option. On the top of the capture button are seven shooting modes: SLR, night scene, video, photography, beauty and professional. We can select by sliding in the capture interface or clicking the name directly. In the "Take Picture" mode, click the icon in the upper right corner to access more options of the camera, including long exposure, panorama, watermark GIF、 There are 8 kinds of photographing modes, including sound capture, focusing after photographing, delayed photographing and haze removal. Among them, delayed photographing and haze removal are new photographing functions added in the new version of the system.

All of the above photos were taken by 360 Qiku flagship geek version camera in automatic mode. All of them were only modified in size, without any optimization. Because my shooting level was limited, they were all taken at random. In fact, such photos can better test the camera's shooting ability. Automatic mode should be the common shooting mode for most people to use mobile phones, so the shooting effect in automatic mode is the camera automatic mode required by most users. If the weather is sunny, the overall outdoor imaging quality is very good, and the distant sky and white clouds are clearly layered, The photos taken by the flagship camera of Qiku mobile phone are more like what you see. If you use the system to focus automatically on sunny days, there will be occasional overexposure.

The rear camera of 360 Qiku's flagship geek version uses a large aperture of F1.8, which still has a strong ability to blur the background. There is also a special "SLR" mode in the camera, which can blur the background when taking macro shots. However, this "SLR" mode is realized through software optimization, so there is still a lucky element in it, It is not always a perfect success, and this can only be achieved by taking more photos and trying more.

Now let's see what's the difference between the macro in the normal mode and the "SLR" mode. Through a simple comparison of the samples taken, it can be clearly seen that the background illusion effect of the samples in the "SLR" mode is stronger, giving people a sense of SLR photography.

360 Qiku flagship geek version is equipped with black and white dual camera, 6P lens and F1.8 aperture, so that it can also take pictures with less noise under low light conditions. Black and white dual photography will be automatically turned on at night, which means that even if we do not switch to the "Night View" mode at night, we can still take good night view photos. When you turn on the "Night View" mode, the brightness of the photos will increase significantly, allowing you to see more details of the painting, but the corresponding noise will also increase, Therefore, it is not suitable to use the "Night View" mode under any circumstances.

——Conclusion——

This 360 Qiku flagship geek version has been used by me as a daily host since its arrival. After nearly a month of experience, the overall smoothness of this phone is good. Although I want to share the appearance and functions of this phone as comprehensively as possible, there are still many things that have not been mentioned due to time and space, Finally, let's make a brief summary of the advantages and disadvantages of this mobile phone according to our own actual experience.

advantage: 360 Qiku's flagship geek version adopts an all metal integrated body design, and its front is covered with 2.5D curved glass. The touch of the screen and back cover is very comfortable; Equipped with a 6-inch 2K Sharp sun screen, the picture display is more clear and delicate, and the overall size is only the size of other 5.5 inch screen phones; Upgrade to 4GB storage and 128GB storage, more applications can be opened in the background, and large 3D games can run more smoothly; The fingerprint identification function is relatively powerful. In addition to unlocking and fingerprint payment, it can also make calls, open applications, take photos and record calls. The fingerprint identification speed under the black screen is good; The rear camera is equipped with a dual 1300W pixel camera. The intelligent black and white dual camera night scene shooting ability is really powerful; The 360OS system is also very good at security and power saving, especially the security functions in the system are very comprehensive

Shortcomings&Suggestions: Although the size of the phone is well controlled, due to the all metal integrated design, the overall weight of the phone is still a little heavy, which is not suitable for long-term use. Girls should feel more obvious; The three touch buttons at the bottom are not equipped with a backlight, so it will be inconvenient to operate at night. If the touch buttons at the bottom can support function customization, would it be better; There are few convenient functions in 360OS. It is suggested to add some functions such as yellow page function, online movie and TV play, online music play, etc; The maximum volume of the mobile phone is good, but when the music is played at the maximum volume, the sound will break. It is also a pity that the HiFi system is not added to the geek version; The camera of the mobile phone does not support optical anti shake, which is very useful for taking photos, especially for some novice players.
