In March this year, when 360 F4 was released, 360 announced that it would unify the three brands of Qiku, Dashen and 360 into 360 mobile phones, and position them as F N. Q series, these three letters also represent the three themes of "comfort", "pleasure" and "technology". In fact, to be frank, F represents the cheapest entry model, N represents the high-performance thousand yuan machine, and Q represents the most high-end flagship model of 360. The mobile phone we are lucky to experience now is the 360 N4 just released last month, which focuses on fun. What kind of fun experience does it have? Let's take a look.
Unpacking appearance: Today's mobile phones are mostly packaged in a simple design, and this 360 N4 is no exception. The bright red front design is matched with a pure black bottom, and the 360 N4's parameter specifications are introduced in detail in the form of gray text. From the parameter point of view, its main 10 core processor+4GB memory is a powerful configuration, and it supports lightning fast charging, fingerprint identification and dual card dual standby. The 360 N4 I experienced this time is a mobile version, priced at 899 yuan, and there may be an all Netcom version of 999 yuan in one month. When opening the package, the first thing you can see is the 360 N4 all black front, and a pin USB data cable, charging power supply, warranty card, user manual, etc. If consumers need earphones, protective film and protective sleeve, 360 Mall also provides 360 N4 premium package. In addition to mobile phones, it also includes 3D curved protective film, ultra-thin leather protective case and 360 ring sound earphones, and the price is only increased by 100, which is considered generous.
Remove the front and rear protective film of 360 N4 directly to see its appearance. In the era when white mobile phones are flying everywhere, the front of 360 N4 adopts a distinctive black panel, with an appearance size of 149mm * 75.7mm * 8.3mm, 5.5 inch 2.5D curved glass, and the round chamfer design around it, giving it a feeling of being round.
Only the earpiece and front camera can be seen at the top of the screen. In fact, the light/distance sensor is designed symmetrically with the front camera of 500w, because it is designed in a deep black panel, which is difficult to find with the naked eye. It is worth mentioning that the earpiece of the 360 N4 adopts the same circular design as the 360 F4, which is particularly exquisite.
The three virtual buttons at the bottom are still designed with circles and dots, and red backlight is added. The author feels that this design is very beautiful. However, it doesn't matter to consumers who infringes their patents on this design, as long as it is easy to use and beautiful.
Although many domestic thousand yuan machines have begun to use metal bodies, the 360 N4 is equipped with more powerful hardware configurations. In order to further reduce costs, its back shell is made of plastic, and various "round" elements continue to be added.
The circles from top to bottom are noise reduction holes, 1300w pixel rear camera, flash and fingerprint identification module. It is worth mentioning that in order to improve the visual effect, the metal ring design is used around the camera and fingerprint identification module. With the support of the metal ring, it is easy to have the illusion of a metal shell.
The volume key and power key on the right side of the 360 N4 are still made of plastic, which is slightly cheaper from the side. The card slot on the left side is designed to support dual card and dual standby. Because the card slot is still made of plastic, there are still some defects in its fit with the body, and it is difficult to remove the card slot when there is no card.
The headphone hole at the top and the speaker hole at the bottom of the 360 N4 are still circular in design. There is a sense of seeing the circle to the end. Although the speaker hole at the bottom adopts a more aesthetic symmetrical design, in practice, only the left side is designed with speakers, and the symmetrical hole at the right side is just for beauty. In addition, the charging interface at the bottom does not use Type-C, but it supports fast charging, which is reasonable.
On the whole, the appearance of the 360 N4 does not ignore the design like most thousand yuan computers. It adds various round "plain" and symmetrical concepts to it, bringing it a more extreme sense of beauty. The only shortcomings are the details of the card slot and the prominent camera.
The screen displays: The display screen of 360 N4 uses the mainstream 5.5 inch 1080P screen. Although 360 does not have any superfluous introduction to it, the 1080P screen can basically meet the user's visual needs. The author has tested the difference between the 2K screen and the 1080P screen for a long time, and has not seen any difference whether it is taken by naked eye or camera, The display difference between different mobile phones is only the difference of brightness and color difference.
The following two other mobile phones are currently priced at 1699 and 2699 respectively in JD 618. Compared with the 360 N4 of 899, the price is very different. In terms of screen display, the author sets the three mobile phones to the maximum brightness to see the screen contrast.
After horizontal comparison, it is felt that the 360 N4 display brightness is higher, and the higher display brightness will be more conducive to outdoor display. In addition, according to the actual comparison with the original picture, the display effect of 360 N4 is colder, and the whole beach will appear paler. The mobile phone priced 2799 yuan will be closer to the display effect of the original picture and more natural.
Other comparison pictures are as follows. All photos are original and only size processing is done. The photographing parameters are: IOS100, Shoot the shutter for 1/4 second, f/10, White balance 5500k. This shooting comparison may also be different due to different cameras. The author tries to restore it for reference only.
photograph: The 360 N4 is equipped with a 1300w pixel rear camera, F/2.0 aperture, Support phase focusing, focusing speed is very fast, such as The configuration in the 1000 yuan machine is basically the mainstream. in addition The thickness of the 360 N4 is not too thin, reaching 8.3mm, but the camera part does not protrude unexpectedly. In terms of camera app, its own functions are also very rich. In addition to the night view, beauty, professional and filter functions, it also supports slow motion, panoramic, GIF and delayed photography functions, which can increase the fun of taking photos.
The following are All the samples taken by 360 N4 are only processed in size. In general, The 360 N4's photographic strength is completely worthy of the price of the 1000 yuan machine, especially in the low light environment, it can still take a relatively clear picture. If there is strong light in the night shot, obvious noise will appear.
System: 360 was born as a software company, so 360 OS has won a lot of praise since its release. Especially after 360 OS launched some black technology applications, even the latest Xiaomi miui 8 began to imitate and copy. It can be seen that 360 OS still has many advantages. In practice, after experiencing the mobile phone systems of several domestic manufacturers, the author found that the current mobile phone systems began to be more similar in operation and function. Some of your interface styles can be similar to mine, and some of my black technology applications can also be copied. After all, these systems or UI are based on Android. After several updates of various systems, I just want to say that these systems are becoming more similar. For consumers, the interface of domestic mobile phone systems is becoming more beautiful, their functions are more perfect, and their services are more comprehensive. Homogeneous systems may not be bad. Let's go back to the 360 N4 system, which is based on the 360 OS2.0 system of Android 6.0, so the front of the phone uses a black panel, so the theme of the phone also uses a flat business style of full black in color matching, so you can also see no too wide border visually. If the original model of Xiaomi 5 also used black, I believe there must be more sales than now.
Background applications are still card based, and the pull-down task bar is not too different from other domestic systems. After five applications are opened, there is still more than 2G of available memory. For users who do not like to close applications, 4G of running memory can be said to be very powerful.
Two fingers and one pinch can access the desktop settings. The author saw a small detail in the desktop settings. It can set the scene mode of folders, and supports direct left and right switching between different folders. This is especially practical for people who have too many applications.
The biggest selling point of 360 OS is actually various black technology system applications. Although many of these applications can also be experienced in other manufacturers' mobile phones, as the latest evolution of 360's 2.0 system, let's take a brief look, There will be a folder called Black Technology on the 360 OS desktop, where the six black technologies of 360 are collected. In addition, there will be a black technology in the cold room on the desktop, where software rarely used at ordinary times can be put into the cold room.
In fact, separate management means that one phone can open two WeChat functions. 360 has played this function for almost a year. The function of one card with multiple accounts is actually a business with multiple accounts, and there is no discount in 360's phone. In my opinion, although it is placed in the folder of black technology, it actually looks more like an advertisement with multiple accounts, The red packet reminder function is actually the software that became popular last year. Although it can't compete with software to grab red packets, this function can still let you grab more red packets.
The location traversal function is actually an app that camouflages geographical locations. You can set various locations at home and abroad, and support the display of current mainstream software. The author tried once, and the location of Dali Dali Town is bright!
In the black technology folder, there are WeChat cleaning and face age measuring apps. WeChat cleaning can be cleaned separately in garbage cleaning. The author can't think of any reason to make WeChat cleaning become a black technology. In addition, the function of face age measuring is actually a beauty camera to estimate age. These two apps can also enter the ranks of black technology, Maybe this is another kind of black. In addition to the black technology summarized above, the following functions are more suitable to be called black technology. The 360 N4 supports gesture and action functions of various screens, which is very practical. Double clicking the screen to light the screen and double clicking the home key to turn off the screen can also make the power key useless. Of course, this function will also bring more power consumption. You can decide whether to use it or not.
I thought that the private space would become a kind of black technology folder, but I didn't find its shadow in any folder. This secret way might make it more secure. Only the function of viewing the private space is set. It supports fingerprint, dial and desktop icon access, which is more secure. In addition, it is worth mentioning that 360 OS has also designed a fake interface for the privacy space, but there are still some differences between the fake privacy interface and the real privacy interface. If the other party can rely on the network to know the authenticity of the privacy interface, will the fake privacy space not exist? The author suggests that the fake privacy space can be completely consistent with the real privacy space, or you can simply add two, three, and custom privacy spaces.
The property isolation system is a software that allows asset apps to eliminate the intrusion of various malicious programs. In order to reflect the security in the property isolation system, it also provides a free Qiku property security insurance. In the property isolation system, all software related to assets need to be re downloaded from the software store in the isolation system, To ensure safety.
Finally, let's take a look at 360 OS services. 360 itself is a software company. Therefore, various 360 software will be built into 360's mobile phones. What is more useful to consumers are themes, 360 mobile assistants, 360 guards, 360 secure phone changes and 360 cloud services 360 Mobile Mall and other third-party software are not very useful. Fortunately, 360 OS supports the uninstallation of all software, which should be praised.
Fingerprint: A fingerprint identification module is designed on the back of the 360 N4, and the silver chamfer halo is very conspicuous.
When the 360 N4 is just started, it will prompt you to enter your fingerprint. After several tests, you need 5+7 fingerprint entries each time, but 12 entries are not fast. You should know that some brands of domestic computers only need 6 fingerprint entries. It is worth mentioning that the fingerprint identification module not only supports unlocking, but also supports the functions of taking pictures, answering calls and recording calls on mobile phones, which makes the fingerprint identification function more useful. After getting used to these quick fingerprint functions, you will find that this function will be very convenient and practical.
In addition to the functions described above, the 360 N4 also adds the fingerprint payment function. At present, the fingerprint quick payment supports WeChat and Alipay, which can basically meet the payment needs of users. In addition, the author would like to say that the 360 N4 is really maximizing the expansion of fingerprint functions, and it also adds the function of a fingerprint to directly open mobile applications, which really makes it a pleasant feeling. As for the unlocking speed, although the 360 N4 belongs to the 1000 yuan mobile phone, the unlocking speed of 0.4 seconds is not slow in the whole mobile phone ranks. Although it is not one of the best, the unlocking speed is still the mainstream.
Power consumption speed: 360 N4 has a built-in The 3080mAh battery can basically meet the user's requirements for moderate use in practical use. In the test of power consumption speed, the author set the brightness of the mobile phone to 50% and the volume to 60% to play the NBA2k15 game. Because this is the largest 3D game that tests the performance of the mobile phone, it consumes the most power, play 30 Minutes The power consumption of the NBA 2k15 game reached 29%, while the 30 minute Kung Fu Panda 3D online game only used 10%, which also shows that the power consumption of large-scale 3D games is higher without optimization. In addition, the power consumption of watching 2 hours of online video is 32%, which means that when the game is full, you can watch about 6 hours of video. Then the author spent half an hour on Weibo, It only consumed 6% of the power, which was completely beyond the author's expectation. Then the author made two calls, played QQ and WeChat, and after two hours, the mobile phone automatically turned off. Although the entire use time only took five and a half hours to drain the power, it was definitely the most serious use, The 30 minute NBA 2K15 game consumes nearly one-third of the power. From this point of view, as long as you don't play large 3D games, the 360 N4 can fully meet your moderate use needs in a day.
Charging speed: The capacity of 360 N4's built-in battery is not Large, but it supports fast charging and The charging mode is called turbine flash charging, and the attached charger actually supports three different charging modes: 5V 2A, 9V 1.5A, 12V 1.2A. According to the author's test, the phone starts charging when the power is still 1%. During the whole charging process, the background is closed, When the wifi is connected all the time, it will be fully charged after 97 minutes. This fast charging speed is faster than that of OPPO R9, which is famous for fast charging, and basically meets the user's demand for fast charging.
360 N4 Cost Path:
Before the launch of the 360 N4 phone, all the media had known its detailed hardware configuration, including Helio X20, 4G RAM, 1080P screen, 32G ROM and fingerprint identification, but no one had guessed that it would eventually be priced at 899 yuan. How could the 360 N4 achieve such a low price?
1. Low frequency version Helio X20 Helio X20 is the latest ten core processor launched by MediaTek. At present, only LeTV 2 is available for mobile phones with Helio X20 processor. The configuration of LeTV 2 is Helio X20+3G RAM+32G ROM. As the price butcher of mobile phones, LeTV is still one or two hundred more expensive than 360 N4 when the storage is 1G less than 360 N4, Although the 360 N4 and LeEco 2 both use the same model of processor, the processor frequency of these two phones is different. LeEco 2 uses a 2.3GHz Helio X20 processor, while the 360 N4 uses a 2.0GHz Helio X20 processor, which is more like the Helio X20 castration version. 2. Plastic body At present, most of the best-selling fingerprint 1000 yuan machines on the market use metal bodies, In order to further reduce the cost, the 360 N4 uses a lower cost plastic body. However, it is worth mentioning that its plastic back shell uses a special spraying process, which makes it feel comfortable. In addition, in order to enhance the texture, metal halos are designed around the lens and fingerprint module, which further reduces the sense of cheap plastic. 3. Micro USB interface still used The higher cost Typec interface is not adopted 4. Monochrome warm flash lamp 360's flagship versions all use dual color temperature flash, while 360 N4 uses single color temperature flash to further reduce costs. 5. It is not equipped with NFC, infrared and other functions.
However, it seems that even the 360 flagship version is not equipped. Actual performance: 360 N4 uses the low-frequency version of Helio X20. I believe many consumers will have some doubts about the specific strength of this castrated processor. According to the score score of Anthare, more than 80000 Anthare scores are enough for us not to worry about the hardware performance of 360 N4, let alone its 4G super storage. At the same time, after opening Weibo, QQ and NBA 2K15 in the background, there is still nearly 2G storage space, which can undoubtedly make your mobile phone run more smoothly.
In terms of game performance, the author tried NBA 2K15 and Kung Fu Panda, NBA 2K15 can be said to be the most configured game in Android, and Kung Fu Panda is also a 3D online game. During the actual measurement, Kung Fu Panda game can run very smoothly, while NBA 2K15 game will be very smooth in the first few minutes, and when the mobile phone heats up more and more seriously, there will be occasional stuck phenomenon. However, in general, in terms of performance, the 360 N4 is obviously more powerful than the Qualcomm 801 processor phones I use everyday. You should know that the Qualcomm 801 phone is always a dog when playing NBA 2K15, while the 360 N4 can barely play. Therefore, even the low-frequency Helio X20 can fully meet the performance requirements of most people.
Heating condition: After talking about the performance of the mobile phone, I have to talk about the heat problem of the 360 N4. The heat of the 360 N4 is also felt when testing its game performance. After playing NBA 2K15 games for more than 10 minutes in a row, the back of the 360 N4 phone will be unusually hot, not just hot. During the game, the highest temperature on the front of the 360 N4 phone was 45.7 degrees near the front camera, while the highest temperature near the camera on the back of the phone was more than 50 degrees. This is the most hot phone I have recently experienced. I hope this situation can be improved by firmware upgrade.
For whom? The first ten core 4G memory mobile phone of young people, with powerful hardware configuration, is very suitable for students to wrestle with. If you want a 1000 yuan computer with the strongest hardware, the 360 N4 is the best choice. For users who have higher requirements for mobile phone virtual property and privacy, 360 OS can well protect your property and privacy. Users who want to buy a 1000 yuan machine that supports fast charging. 360 loyal fans must choose 360 N4.
Who is not suitable for? People who want to pursue the ultimate performance or want to play various large-scale 3D games such as NBA 2K15 smoothly. People who have higher requirements for the effect of taking pictures or for taking selfies. People who need infrared and NFC functions. People who like small screen phones. Those who rely on mobile phones to support the scene, please go out and choose Apple or Samsung.
Summary:
After experiencing 360 N4 for several consecutive days, you will feel 360 N4 is a mobile phone with very distinctive personality, Helio X20,4G RAM, Fingerprint identification, fast charging and 1000 yuan mobile phones are combined together. The high configuration and low price personality is the most conspicuous label attached to the mobile phone. It allows users to spend the least money to experience the most enjoyable mobile phone experience. Although you can still find some shortcomings of it, you can't prevent it from becoming the benchmark of 1000 yuan flagship mobile phones. Will the 360 N4 become your first 10 core 1000 yuan machine? I believe you have the answer. |
