When it comes to HiFi phones, the first thing you may think of is vivo, and ZTE released a new flagship featuring audio on May 26 AXON Tianji 7 , which uses AKM Flagship audio chip AK4490 。
The front of AXON Tianji 7 still retains the exaggerated speaker opening design, the 5.5 inch Super AMOLED screen, and the resolution has reached the high-end 2K level.
The top model was displayed on site, with a memory of 6G and a storage capacity of 128G. The front panel was made of walnut wood, which was quite special, but the color matching with the gold body was slightly abrupt.
The screen uses 2.5D glass to enhance the touch of the edge. The left and right borders of the screen are not wide, but the upper and lower parts are wide.
There are three standard touch keys. The phone key is in the shape of a circle. The two function keys next to it are the multi task key and the return key. The positions of the two keys can be customized. However, because the two keys are too close to the home key, it will be inconvenient to use them.
The back is made of all metal material, with sandblasting process and post press fingerprint identification.
The rear is 20 million pixels, especially the sensor is 16:9, which we have not yet touched. The F/1.8 aperture is matched with the optical anti shake, and there are two LED fill lights.
There are volume keys and power keys on the right side of the fuselage. In addition, there is an obvious arc design on the back of the fuselage, which fits the palm well.
There is a USB Type-C interface and a microphone at the bottom of the fuselage. Because the speaker is in front, the bottom of the fuselage is relatively simple.
AXON Tianji 7 adopts MiFavor4.0 based on Android 6.0, which is also a deeply customized system and cancels the design of secondary menu.
The multi task menu is presented in card format, similar to the native system.
The setting menu has also been greatly changed, which is divided into two parts: common and all.
The system is based on Android 6.0.1, and the mobile phone model is A2017.
The configuration of the top configuration version belongs to the top level of current mobile phones: Snapdragon 820 processor, 6G LPDDR4 memory, 128G UFS 2.0 memory chip 。
Its huge memory allows it to keep more than 3.5G of free memory.
The top configuration version is equipped with a 3D pressure sensing screen, which can be set for the sensitivity of this function. The pressure sensing function will better adapt to the system's own applications.
AXON Tianji 7 is equipped with AK4961 (Codec) and AK4490 (Dac) Dual audio chip, of which AK4490 is commonly used in audiophile walkman or desktop computer, and it is the first time to use it on mobile phone. If "Headphone HiFi" is turned on in the system sound settings, the AK4490 will be used for audio output.
From the actual sense of hearing, The sound quality of AXON Tianji 7 is a relatively high level in mobile phones. Its sound is not too analytical and quality oriented like some phones equipped with ESS9018 (9028) series chips. Its style is soft, and it pays attention to the display of medium and low frequencies. After turning on HiFi mode, you can obviously hear the sense of low frequency and the sense of sound enclosure have improved significantly. The tuning style can be said to be slightly warm, For ordinary users, this kind of tuning is flattering for listening to voice. The disadvantage is that the thrust is weaker than some secondary amplifiers or even phones with four amplifiers.
There is not much to say about the photographing interface. The overall corresponding speed of photographing is good, and the sharpness of indoor shooting is also satisfactory. The 20 million pixel 16:9 specification also makes us curious about the sensor it uses.
For more detailed experience of AXON Tianji 7, we can focus on our subsequent evaluation.
