Not long ago, we came to our hands with a mobile phone case that advertised that iPhone could turn into Android in seconds. This magical mobile phone case enables iPhone to support four major functions: iOS, Android dual systems, dual SIM cards, support for double storage, and support for double power. Can a mobile phone case be so magical? Let's find out.

Appearance and packaging

On the outer package, the style of the mecha is basically the same as that of the iPhone. The simple product drawing is placed on the front, using white main colors, and the back is a description of some parameters. The design is very careful.

However, the damping is not as delicate and considerate as Apple. The upper and lower packaging of the mecha has a large damping, which takes a lot of effort to open.

After removing the machine armor, you can see that the accessories are provided with instructions, a microUSB data cable and a microUSB to lighting adapter.

There is a SIM card slot on the inside of the mobile phone, and the "chin" is relatively large. In addition, it is not different from the general mobile phone case.

The buttons on the top half of the iPhone and the earphone hole on the bottom have corresponding openings, and there is also a microUSB interface on the bottom of the mecha. After installing the mecha, the earphones of the L head can hardly be used. This is a defect of the mecha.

Above the back is the mecha MESUIT logo, the eye-catching one below is Boot key.

There is a hidden indicator light in the "chin", which is perfectly combined with the texture. The adapter, which comes with accessories during installation, needs to be put into the machine armor first, and then the iPhone can be combined with the machine armor.

The pictures were taken on the computer. To be honest, for the obsessive-compulsive patients like the author, it is very uncomfortable that there is such a big hole in the camera and mobile phone case, and the existence of "chin" is so strong that the appeal of the machine armour is relatively lacking for the Selfie Party.

The true face of Android

I believe everyone is curious about how the robot runs Android on the iPhone. In fact, what needs to be done on the iPhone? First, add the WeChat public account of Machine Armor to open the download link, then install the description file of Machine Armor, and then directly download the app to run. At this time, iPhone will ask whether to trust this computer, and click Trust to use Android. The author speculates that the mecha gets the permission to call iPhone hardware by installing the description file, and then masquerades the mecha as a computer to obtain trust before data transmission, so it is basically impossible for the mecha app to be launched in the App Store.

On the introduction page for the first time, the mecha previously said that the system is based on Android mecha OS, and the actual product name is APUS. After entering, there is a common domestic Android UI. The secondary menu is reserved. The App List is sorted alphabetically. I personally like this design. The system is very streamlined. Apart from the most basic applications, music and video and other system applications are directly removed. After the developer option is turned on, all animation zoom speeds are 0.5x by default, It seems that in order to ensure the smoothness of the system, the mecha is quite hard.

Check the details about the mobile phone. The model is MESUIT i6P. Once again, it is verified that Android is not directly run on iPhone. The system is based on Andrid 5.1. The security patch is only updated to December of 2015, which is slightly old. As long as the mecha app is not removed from the background, you can receive notifications when running iOS. Friends who are worried about delayed notifications can rest assured. If you have to use the microblog client in the machine armour, you can experience a more powerful four jaw than HTC because of the physical Home key, the three king keys of Android, and the machine armour's long "chin".

Mecha performance

Through practical experience, we know that the mecha is actually an Android machine, and the SoC is MT6753 of MediaTek, 2GB RAM+16GB ROM. This configuration is basically low-end Android, and the score of the score test also proves this fact laterally. The performance of both CPU and GPU is equal to that of the Meilan 3s using MT6750 or Meilan note3 using MT6755M. The hope that Apple A9 could run Android is completely dashed after hearing the previous publicity.

So when running Android, it is a low-end machine. Its response speed, smoothness and iOS are two grades. Fortunately, the glass touch of iPhone is good. It is not clear whether the iPhone used in the test is due to iOS 10 or the problem of the armor itself. There are many cases of complete jamming. It is no problem to switch back to iOS and turn it off and on again.

IPhone expansion?

Most users who bought iPhones complain that their own storage space is always full, and they don't support expansion cards. So the transformation method of Huaqiangbei directly expanding the capacity of iPhones has become so popular a while ago. The mecha said that it can also expand the capacity of the iPhone, as long as it is installed with a mobile phone case, is it really amazing? To open the mobile phone expansion app is to move the photos from the iPhone to the Android of the mobile phone and free up the space for storing photos. It is impossible to expect that the app can also be installed into the 16G built-in storage space of the mobile phone.

Endurance performance

The battery sizes of the two models of the mecha are 1700mAh and 2500mAh respectively, which indeed directly doubles the power of the iPhone. According to different use cases, the increased endurance time varies from person to person. Here, we specially test the low-end Android machine Jijia with the common three hour endurance test project to see how it performs.

Since the iPhone will always be charged after the machine A starts, the iPhone will be fully charged before the test. During the test, the iPhone will also maintain 100% of the power, and the data provided by the machine A will be recorded. After the complete test, 71% of the power of the mecha is still left. Except for the slightly high power consumption of the game part, all other items are at the normal level. Such performance can only be said to be satisfactory. After all, 79% of the similar hardware of the magic blue note3 is left.

tail

The price of the mobile phone A in JD is 999/1099 yuan, which is targeted at creative intelligent peripherals. The featured selling points, such as iOS/Android dual systems and dual SIM cards, are actually equivalent to a low-end Android machine attached to it; Double storage is not a common expansion, only photos can be moved; It is practical to double the power, but the machine armor is also running the Android system, which is not as good as the ordinary battery. If you are practical, it is better to buy an Android machine of 1000 yuan at the same price. Of course, if you want to try something new and are interested in this kind of intelligent "toys", there is only one machine in the market at present.
