If you know about Blue Devil's brand, you must know that Blue Devil was a player in its early days. At that time, I still remember that Blue Devil's player was quite famous. If Blue Devil designed mobile phones, it should be a matter of random. However, when the player declined, Blue Devil did not attack the mobile phone market like Meizu.. Well, as an aside, Blue Devil R9 is just a high-end mobile phone that Blue Devil recently released. It not only has a face value, but also is a powerful mobile phone. So what's its experience? This in-depth experience evaluation will tell you the answer!

I won't tell you more about the packaging of Blue Devil R9, but the accessories included in the package are standard three piece sets, power adapters, data cables, warranty card instructions and other documents. The Blue Devil R9 can be said to be the current flagship model of the Blue Devil, so naturally it will not compromise in design. With a 5.2 inch 1080p screen and 2.5D glass, the face value of the Blue Devil R9 is quite high.

The Blue Devil R9 cancels our common touch keys and instead has virtual keys built into the system. For mobile phones that use virtual keys, Huawei should be the only one besides the Blue Devil R9. The virtual key design like the Blue Devil R9 makes the screen share of the whole mobile phone appear larger and more elegant.

In addition, Blue Devil R9 has designed the antenna around the frame of the phone, which looks more harmonious with the appearance of the phone. In addition, the position of the light sensor, front camera and earpiece is neatly placed, which is also very harmonious, so people don't feel messy.

Some people regret that, The Blue Devil R9 does not use the popular Type - C interface, but our common USB data interface. Maybe the reason for this design is because The Type - C interface has not been popularized, so Blue Devil R9 does not use this design. The speakers of the two panels of the data interface are finished by CNC, and the workmanship is very neat.

The 2.5D glass of Blue Devil R9 looks very attractive in the light, and 2.5D glass is also a must for flagship mobile phones at present. On the side of the R9 fuselage is the volume key. The feedback of pressing the key is obvious, and the feel is good.

On the other side of the R9 is the power key and two SIM card slots. On the network side, the R9 supports dual 4G. However, it is a pity that the TF memory card slot was abandoned because the R9 adopts an integrated body design.

This one I have experienced The Blue Devil R9 is champagne gold, but I personally think it's a little rose gold. In addition, the back cover of the entire R9 is made of metal, but the upper and lower sides are not made of metal due to signal problems. The metal integrated body texture of the whole mobile phone is very strong. In addition to the color of champagne gold, the quality of this mobile phone is not inferior to that of flagship phones of other brands.

(The fingerprint identification function of Blue Devil R9 is not very much at present, but with the system update, new functions will be added in the future)

On the top of the back of the Blue Devil R9 is the fingerprint identification module. It is common for flagship mobile phones to be equipped with fingerprint identification modules. In addition, R9 is equipped with a large F2.0 aperture, I will give you a more in-depth evaluation of the 1300W pixel camera and the photo effect later. In general, the appearance characteristics of the Blue Devil R9 phone are the metal body, good process design, fingerprint recognition and other configurations that flagship phones should have, but configuration alone is not enough. I will use the rest of the evaluation content The experience of Blue Devil R9 is the main part, and we will give you an experience evaluation.

The Blue Devil R9 has experience in manufacturing digital products before, so I don't have to worry too much about the work. It's just that the Blue Devil mobile phone started late. If it joined the mobile phone battle early, it might have a place now. Especially the design of the back. As you can see from the pictures, the non-metallic materials at the bottom and the metal back cover at the back are inlaid very precisely. If the workmanship is too poor, the gap here will be too large and the layers will be uneven. Everyone can appreciate the work of the Blue Devil R9 in the above mobile phone exterior pictures!

Although it is said that The Blue Devil R9 may give you a mediocre feeling, because there are too many mobile phones now, and many mobile phones are dazzled What's good about the Blue Devil R9? We have to give the answer in the later experience evaluation, but compared with the appearance experience, Blue Devil R9 passed the examination in terms of appearance design.

The size of the 5.2 inch mobile phone can be easily mastered by one hand. If you want to pursue small or medium-sized mobile phone users, the Blue Devil R9 is a mobile phone that can be considered. After all, the size of mobile phones is 5.5 inch at the beginning, and too large mobile phones are not convenient for us to carry. Well, it's hard to draw a conclusion about the Blue Devil R9 just by a set of appearance pictures. Let's take a look at the experience evaluation of this mobile phone!

If we simply introduce the Blue Devil R9 system, it may make this evaluation too dull, so I added the Miui system of Xiaomi. Now let's take a look at the system UI design of Blue Devil as a new product?

(MOUI V2.1 system interface)

The system of Blue Devil R9 is based on the Android 5.1 depth MOUI. For a manufacturer who has just started to make mobile phones, the MOUI may prefer the native system in terms of design language and system icon, and the system is very simple as a whole. However, I have only one feeling about the MOUI system, that is, it is relatively smooth.

(miui V7 system interface)

(MOUI V2.1 system interface)

Through the comparison with MIUI system, we can easily see that the design style of MOUI in system software also tends to be flat, not to be physical. Simple color maps build different system software styles, which looks good.

(MOUI V2.1 system interface)

However, in general, if you want to talk about functionality, maybe MOUI has much less content than MIUI in some applications. For example, in the calendar, MIUI displays more content than MOUI.

(miui V7 system interface)

(MOUI V2.1 system interface)

There are many good functions in the MIUI system settings, such as eye protection mode, but the MOUI is not inferior. The MOUI has a built-in image display technology called MIRAVISION. In addition, the MIUI version is 5.02, while the MOUI version is 5.1.

In addition, when it comes to camera functions, MIUI's camera functions are obviously not as many as MOUI's, which means that MOUI's camera functions are more playable and provide a variety of different modes of photographing functions. I will carefully evaluate the specific photographing and imaging effects for you later.

Although MOUI has not been launched for a long time, and some functions are not as comprehensive as MIUI, MOUI has a very powerful killer, that is, dual WeChat and dual QQ functions! I don't know how many users buy mobile phones for the Blue Devil R9 function? Summary of system experience: As a new mobile phone system, MOUI is definitely not as good as MIUI in terms of functions, which is beyond doubt. After all, MIUI has been updated and iterated for so long, but it is not impossible for the latecomers to do so. MOUI has also been updated constantly. If you make good optimization and continue to work hard, MOUI is still a good operating system!

(Measured functions of Blue Devil R9 camera)

Now let's evaluate the imaging effect of the Blue Devil R9! All the following mobile phone tests are taken in Auto mode, because this is the only way to restore the camera's most realistic shooting effect!

When Hongmi Note3 took this macro photo, the focus was obviously out of focus.

On the other hand, the iPhone 5S is over white balanced and over red. Through the comparison of the above three macro photos, the macro shooting ability of Blue Devil R9 is the best. Next, in a separate photo test, I will again prove the macro shooting ability of Blue Devil R9.

Blue Devil R9 took this picture, showing a balanced performance.

Hongmi Note3 took this photo, which is the same as the performance of Blue Devil R9.

However, when the iPhone 5S took this picture, the color of the picture was too rich, and the sky white balance was also somewhat blue, so the performance of the Blue Devil R9 and the Red Rice Note3 was better than that of the 5S. That's the end of the comparative evaluation. Although the Blue Devil R9 did not say that it had overwhelming advantages, it could be said that it was standard in terms of photography. Let's take a look at some photos I took with R9 alone.

I prefer to use the Blue Devil R9 to take macro photos, which is also one of my favorite ways to test my mobile phone's ability to take photos. As I said earlier, it is a little difficult for Red Rice Note3 to take macro photos, but it is very easy for R9 to take macro photos, and the focus is very fast. In addition, looking carefully at this photo, there is no exposure of the branches behind.

When shooting this rock with Blue Devil R9, the sky behind the rock was still not overexposed. I really like the macro performance of Blue Devil R9, but it doesn't mean that its photography ability is excellent, but it also has some shortcomings, which will be explained later.

However, there are some places with too much sunshine, which may cause uneven focusing. If you focus manually, the picture will become dark. However, if you use automatic focusing, the sky of the picture will be a little exposed, which is not well controlled by Blue Devil R9.

However, when shooting some distant views with the Blue Devil R9, I felt it was good, and the white balance performance was excellent.

As for the Blue Devil R9, it's the night scene. It seems that this photo is good, but the only problem is that the details of the surrounding scenes are lost, and only the lights are shot. Although the effect of this sample photo may be beautiful to most people, the details are lost, which is not satisfactory from a personal perspective.

In terms of photography, I personally think that the macro performance of the Blue Devil R9 is good during the day, but the performance of some scenes of the night scene is OK, and the performance of the night scene is not particularly powerful. In terms of photography, the Blue Devil R9 is in line with its own price positioning, and it can also meet our daily use. If you can adjust, you may take better photos!

I will not conduct further evaluation on the configuration and performance of Blue Devil R9, You should also know how much performance the MTK 6753's processor has, so I won't introduce more points. The daily game Blue Devil R9 can meet your needs. In addition, because Blue Devil R9 is designed with built-in virtual keys, you may pay more attention to a question, that is, what happens to virtual keys when you play games?

After the actual game test, Blue Devil R9 will hide the virtual keys when playing the game. If you want to call out the keys, you need to touch the location of the original virtual keys, and then the keys will pop up.

As mentioned above, the processor of the Blue Devil R9 uses MTK, so the power consumption problem should be good, so I conducted a temperature test. Under the conditions of maximum brightness and maximum sound, I let the Blue Devil R9 run the game and watch the video for 20 minutes each. The results were very impressive, almost no more than 30 degrees!

In addition, I also conducted an interesting test, which is to test the opening speed of the app, iphone 5s， At the same time, Blue Devil R9 clicked on a software, and then recorded the startup time separately. Blue Devil R9 performed well, but Youku Video's startup time was somewhat slow, and 5s even reached an amazing 2.6 seconds. But the Taobao startup speed, Blue Devil R9, was better than 5s. In fact, the software's startup speed had something to do with the software itself.

I also conducted a small-scale test on the battery life. Basically, the Blue Devil R9 can't get rid of the situation of charging every day. After all, the battery capacity of the Blue Devil R9 is only 2300mAh!

In terms of screen test, I turned the brightness of Red Rice Note3 and Blue Devil R9 to the lowest. Unexpectedly, the brightness of Blue Devil R9 at the lowest level was even brighter than Red Rice Note3. I can't see that Blue Devil R9, a seemingly ordinary 1080p, was so bright. (It is obvious in the figure that the brightness of red rice Note3 is lower than that of blue magic R9)

As for the last external sound test, when Red rice Note3 and Blue Devil R9 played the same movie, their external sound size was almost the same, so I can't tell which was better or worse. Basically, 90 decibels of external sound is enough for our daily use.

Experience summary: through the above series of tests, we can know that Blue Devil R9 performs very well in the aspect of appearance and process design, but its performance and system performance are flat, there is nothing special, and there is something remarkable about the strong performance of macro photography. Blue Devil R9 gives me more experience, that is, domestic mobile phones are slowly moving towards high-quality products, Although this road still needs to be optimized, it is not easy to gradually improve the quality and experience of Blue Devil R9 among several products of the early generation, so I look forward to the subsequent system optimization and performance of Blue Devil R9. However, compared with the current experience, in addition to double WeChat and double QQ, good appearance and workmanship, and decent photographic performance, Blue Devil R9 still lacks the characteristics that can catch consumers' desire to buy. That is to say, although the performance of Blue Devil R9 is balanced in all aspects, there are few highlights. I hope Blue Devil can strengthen the highlights and feature design of mobile phones in subsequent products, so as to attract more consumers.
