A little long preface

With the accelerating pace of urban life, mobile phones are no longer just used as a communication tool for answering and making calls as they were ten years ago. Today's smart phones integrate many normalized functions such as audio-visual, leisure and entertainment, online shopping, photography and photography. In recent years, the competition in the domestic mobile phone market has become more and more fierce. From the appearance of the product to the internal performance of the body, the evaluation criteria for consumers to buy mobile phones also tend to consider the battery standby, camera pixels, CPU processing speed, sound quality and other factors; I believe that everyone has contacted or understood all kinds of mobile phones, so what kind of models do you have in mind that will make you excited? Is it beautiful appearance, excellent speed, or high cost performance

Since Nubia broke away from ZTE and announced its independent operation, it has been designing and producing mobile phones of its own brand with the concept of "making products with heart and putting user experience first"; It also brings the concept of "borderless" into full play, which is favored by the majority of users. From the beginning of Nubia Z9 to today's Z11, after a year of careful polishing, the "borderless" aesthetic appearance has once again challenged consumers' attention. In addition, the body material, hardware configuration, fingerprint identification and system performance have been comprehensively improved. Next, I will lead you to evaluate this Nubian Z11 mobile phone in a short distance and in many aspects.

Beautiful outdoor unpacking

The outer box of Nubia Z11 is packed in a classic and simple black gift box, which improves the quality of the package to a certain extent. The red ring on the surface of the box sets off the Nubia trademark, which is particularly exquisite; On the back of the box are stickers that mark the parameters of the phone and the manufacturer's information according to international practices. The silver 4G+64GB version was obtained by the editor this time, and the official price of the phone is 2499 yuan.

When I opened the box, I saw that this mobile phone gave Xiao Bian a unique impression. There was no physical HOME button on the front of the phone, which made it look very simple and fashionable. The packing box is also relatively small, and it is easy to carry by layering the accessories.

Accessories include an original headset, power adapter, charging USB cable, TF card pin, Type-C adapter and instruction manual; In general, the accessories are standard, but the red USB cable and headset are a highlight. I believe that users are used to seeing black or white accessories. The red cable of Nubia Z11 with a white mobile phone shows a natural beauty. The user manual gives a detailed description of the relevant parameters and precautions of the mobile phone. It is recommended that you read it carefully before use.

The earphones of the phone are very good in terms of workmanship, sound quality and wearing comfort. Since the standard headset configuration of Xiaomi mobile phones was canceled, the return of VIVO, OPPO, Huawei and other major mobile phone manufacturers has been a gratifying move for users. Although it is small, it is enough to see the truth. To impress consumers with details is the key to the success of every mobile phone.

The front, back and side of the mobile phone are displayed. The white body looks like a ceramic when exposed to the sun; The slogan of "Boundless Aesthetics" is by no means groundless. No matter when the screen is black or when the screen is lit, the visual impact of Boundless Aesthetics is extremely strong, which has become a unique aspect compared with many other brands of mobile phones. The overall dimensions and thickness of the machine are also relatively small and light, and the fit and comfort in the hand are relatively high.

I believe that when you choose a new mobile phone, in addition to the appearance, the most important thing is the machine parameter configuration. I will summarize the main parameters of this Nubian Z11 mobile phone as follows.

Grab the details

Nubia Z11 is equipped with a 5.5 inch second generation Pixel Eyes display screen with a resolution of 1920 * 1080. The screen proportion is up to 75.98%, and the chroma saturation is 96%. Even in strong light, the screen with low reflectivity can show a clear and transparent picture. These are the specific parameters given by the official. Maybe many friends do not understand these digital concepts, so we will display them intuitively through a screen playing picture.

It can be seen clearly and intuitively that the pictures played by Nubia Z11 are bright and beautiful, and the color saturation, brightness and fineness of the color tone of the pictures are fairly good. At the same time, the effect of "borderless" makes users look more fresh and natural.

Since the "borderless" of Z11 is a highlight of this mobile phone, let's see what the beauty is. In fact, from a practical point of view, no mobile phone can achieve zero border, because the technology requires that the border part needs to be crossed. Nubia only makes this part of the frame very narrow, and the 2.5D curved glass design is used on both sides, which can refract the light, perfectly concealing the existence of the extremely narrow frame; So as to present this visual borderless mobile phone to everyone. It is really hard to find the existence of the frame from the picture lit up on the screen. It is like the whole screen is connected with the body. It is very beautiful.

On the top of the phone are the front camera, earpiece and light sensor. The distance between the three is even and the proportion seems to be very harmonious; Nubia Z11 adopts a highly axisymmetric design on the whole machine, with more obvious visual impact effect. The 800W pixel front camera can only be said to be average, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of parameters. After all, selfie has become a fashion now, and more and more users like phones with high pixel front camera.

At the bottom of the phone are three commonly used function keys. Visually, a big red circle is used with two small dots. However, Xiao Bian seems to have a sense of discord, especially the existence of the red circle has lowered the appearance of the phone. It is recommended to use traditional key icons or simply hide them all as red dots. In terms of operation, the distance between keys is moderate, and one hand can control perfectly and respond quickly.

It has become a mainstream fashion to use a mobile phone as a player. Whether it is used to listen to music or watch videos, the sound quality of a mobile phone will directly affect the user experience. The built-in AK4376 audio chip of Nubia Z11 is also equipped with advanced SmartPA technology, which can achieve a wider sound field when playing audio and video files, and deliver a more realistic and natural sound.

On the right side of the fuselage is the position of the volume increase/decrease button and the power button. It seems intuitively that the gap between each button is very small, and almost invisible to the naked eye; The distance between the power button and the volume button is relatively short, which can support one hand simultaneous touch for screen capture shortcut. The affinity of keys tested by Xiaobian is also good, and the pressure is moderate. The whole key design has high requirements for hand feeling on the premise of ensuring the artistic workmanship.

The SIM card slot is located on the left side of the fuselage. The Nubian Z11 supports dual Nano SIM; The memory card with extended memory can also be installed at the card slot sub card position, which supports a maximum of 200G; All the dual cards in the network system are fully connected.

The main camera on the back of the fuselage has 1600W high pixels and a large aperture of F/2.0, which can easily focus at a speed of seconds; It also supports optical anti shake and PDAF phase focusing technology. Below the camera is the fingerprint unlocking area. With more and more smart phones adding this function, it is much easier to make calls and protect privacy and security; In addition to the extremely fast experience of 0.1S, the Z11 fingerprint unlocking also has practical functions such as convenient fingerprint photography, fingerprint screenshots, etc.

This mobile phone uses an aluminum alloy frame that has been repeatedly polished by CNC technology, which has an excellent grip; At the same time, the metal frame has a smooth transition and is closely connected with 2.5D curved glass, with high precision. Under the sunlight, you can see a condensing waist line on the side, which is very beautiful.

Try the performance

1. Charging and endurance

Nubia Z11 is equipped with a 3000mAh battery, which is not very large compared with the 5.5 inch screen; The official website introduced this mobile phone with fast charge 3.0 and dual charging cells, which can make the charging time four times faster. Can Xiaobian carried out the actual charging endurance test, and started to connect the power adapter when the phone was in the state of light discharge, and the power increased to 60% nearly an hour later; The battery reaches 100% full status in about 2 hours and 10 minutes; Generally speaking, the charging speed is too slow, especially compared with the fast charging technology of OPPO and Meizu; Long term charging will also have an impact on the use of users. It is recommended to improve the charging technology.

The actual power consumption of Nubia Z11 in different use modes such as games, music, movies, chat and standby can be seen through the actual discharge test of mobile phones in a day. The mobile phone still has more than 20% of power left after a day of use. Of course, this is done under the deliberate test discharge state. The frequency of normal use of the mobile phone is far from so high. Therefore, there is no problem with the battery life of the Nubia Z11 and its standby time of 2 days in normal use.

2. Temperature test

The most serious time for a mobile phone to get hot is to play a large game that is very strict with CPU and screen display brightness. After an hour of playing the mobile game "Swordsman World" with Nubia Z11, I measured the back temperature of the mobile phone to be 46.2 degrees. Compared with several mobile phones I have used before, this temperature value is satisfactory, not particularly high.

The temperature of the mobile phone was detected by the editor during the whole charging process, and the maximum temperature of the back of the mobile phone was 37.9 degrees; The highest temperature occurs when the charging power is about 85%, that is, when the mobile phone slows down the charging speed. In general, the temperature change of Z11 during charging is not very large and relatively stable.

3. Video effects

Using the 5.5 inch FHD display screen of Nubia Z11 to directly display the effect of HD 4K pictures, you can see that the picture is more vivid and the color transition is even. How about the ability of mobile phones to play video? Next, let's test the continuity of video images by playing video files directly on mobile phones. Test track Tara - Sugar free MV.

Through the intuitive video recording, you can see that the mobile phone has a strong continuous performance in playing video files, the picture switching is clear and smooth, and the rendering effect is very good.

4. Sound quality effect

I believe that every user will listen to music and watch movies on his/her mobile phone, and the quality of picture and sound will directly affect the reputation of this mobile phone. Now let's experience the actual playback effect of the mobile phone speakers by recording an original audio video that comes with the Nubia Z11 mobile phone.

Judging from the video playback effect at both ends, the small editor felt that the speaker of Z11 was not good enough because the volume was too low. It was also suggested that the manufacturer should increase the power of external playback later to make the sound effect more powerful.

5. Game performance

In addition to chatting and audio and video audition, another important function of smart phones is the running effect of games; In terms of game control experience, this mobile phone equipped with Snapdragon 820 processor is satisfactory in terms of game speed experience, and power consumption control is also good. I have been playing Xiaomi's new mobile game "Sword Immortal World" for the past two days, and Z11 is relatively good when playing this game, However, severe fever may occur after a long time. It is still to show the experience effect of mobile games through videos.

Bask in the camera

Although the 800W pixel front camera has average pixels, it can adjust the camera's beauty level in the process of self taking. On the whole, it can be said that the camera has a good effect on facial beauty. However, I suggest that we should separate the beauty items of the camera, such as face slimming, whitening and other sub items, so that users can have more operational experience when taking selfies.

The camera performance of smart phones has also become an important factor to measure their quality. As various mobile phone cameras have joined the professional photography mode, more and more people are accustomed to using mobile phones to take photos instead of bulky SLR cameras; Nubia Z11 is equipped with Sony 1600W pixel stack type 6P drive motor lens. The large aperture of F2.0 can bring more obvious depth of field effect, and can shoot professional and beautiful pictures. The biggest feature of the camera is the PDAF phase focusing technology, which enables it to have a faster focusing speed experience. You can press the shutter button when you pick up the phone.

In addition to the professional photographing mode of smart phones, Z11 also adds camera family mode in the software, which covers multiple exposure, photo drawing, electronic aperture, star orbit, cloning and other rich camera photographing methods, so that users can say goodbye to the traditional single photographing experience; In particular, the cloning function can realize the free combination and editing of multiple photos, which is very interesting.

Next, use the actual pictures taken by Nubia Z11 mobile phone to test the imaging effect of the camera. In addition to the size compression, each of the following pictures has not undergone any beautification and decoration, and they are authentic actual samples.

The sample pictures taken by Z11 in outdoor natural light environment are vivid and lifelike. Thanks to the powerful configuration of 1600W high pixels, the pictures are bright and full in color when the mobile phone shoots the scenery buildings. Especially in professional mode, you can adjust the camera's ISO, light compensation and other details to take more delicate pictures; Whether it is the office building in the distance or the rockery stone with bright color layer near, it can be said that the Z11 camera of the sun performs perfectly.

In the pictures taken with indoor light, the requirements for light source intensity are relatively high. It can be seen that some details in the pictures are exposed too heavily, which results in a large color difference between light and dark; In general, the white balance and sharpness of photos taken indoors are far less than those taken outdoors under natural light. However, the overall color tone, temperature and clarity are fairly good.

It can be seen from both outdoor and indoor macro effects that Z11 shows the imaging level of a micro single camera, which not only has a fast focusing speed, but also has a clear overall image of the object near the focus; The degree of virtualization of the background part is moderate. Although it can not compare with the virtualization effect of professional SLR, it is also very good for the camera of the mobile phone.

Finally, test the night imaging effect of the camera. Compared with the daytime, the shooting quality at night is reduced. By using the night scene mode to shoot, we can see that the picture has a decline in image purity and some noise particles, but the overall effect is quite good. This is Xiaobian's hometown. At night in Haihe, Tianjin, the picture is still very beautiful.

At last, the effect picture of Z11 camera magnified at a distance is shown. You can see that the tableware on the desktop can still be clearly displayed on the image after several times of magnification, without blurring and hazy phenomenon.

Talk about the system

The performance of the mobile phone system will also have an important impact on the user's use of the phone. Nubia Z11 is equipped with the Nubia UI 4.0 operating system based on Android 6.0. Its biggest feature is that the UI interface is simple, fresh, smooth and easy to use. Different from the original Android operating system, nubia UI 4.0 simplifies the system logic, and combs the system icons, interactive interfaces, etc. The system includes many basic application functions, such as SMS, browser, music, camera, radio, email, file manager, etc.

Like most Android phones, the pull-down call out control center can set the switches of some common functions. Long pressing the HOME key in the middle of the phone can call out the monitoring menu of running programs. Unlike other Android systems, running programs is no longer just an icon indication, but the running windows of programs are superimposed by sliding, allowing users to view more intuitively; Of course, you can also individually close a running program through upward interaction. The menu key on the left side of the stand-alone can call up the desktop layout setting option function.

The curved 2.5D glass on both sides of the mobile phone is by no means just a decorative frameless design. Nubia Z11 enables users to experience the control of the mobile phone through the screen edge through FIT 2.0 technology. Whether it is double clicking on the edge to quickly return or double sliding to adjust the brightness of the mobile phone screen, these magic like controls can greatly enrich the playing methods of the mobile phone. However, the accidental touch of the edge screen often occurs in the personal test of the editor, which may be due to the lack of habit.

While large screen mobile phones bring better visual experience, single hand operation often becomes a weak side. Nubia Z11 can awaken the small single hand operation interface by long pressing the menu and the return key. The size of the interface is also determined by the actual size of the user's own palm and drawing an arc on the screen. Let girls with smaller palms no longer have to struggle with the inability to touch the screen with one hand; In addition, there are many content settings such as touch gestures, intelligent body sense, application separation, etc. in the personality function.

One of the highlights of the mobile phone Nubia UI 4.0 system is the design of its split screen desktop. When we use mobile phones, we often encounter QQ and WeChat messages when watching videos, and we have to cut them out for processing, which is very troublesome. The Z11 system allows users to operate two split screens simultaneously on one mobile phone screen independently of each other by sliding the split screen desktop function from the bottom of the phone. For example, if you watch videos on the screen above, you can chat on the screen below, which is very convenient. The return operation of the two screens is also carried out by using the return key of the phone, which can switch to each other.

Master Lu's systematic evaluation of Nubia Z11 has a comprehensive score of more than 63000 and an experience evaluation score of 102. In general, compared with similar models of 2499 yuan, it is still high, OPPO R9 is 46000 and Meizu PRO 6 is 58000; It can be said that the score of Nubia Z11 is enough to satisfy users with its performance.

Compare appearance

There is an OPPO R9 mobile phone of the same price in the small editor, which can be compared with the Nubian Z11. Of course, the purpose of the comparison is not to distinguish the quality of the two mobile phones, but to make people more impressed with the Z11 mobile phone through the comparison. From the front, the main difference between the two machines is the extremely narrow border of Z11 and the physical HOME button adopted by OPPO R9.

Compared with the back of the two mobile phones, the biggest difference is fingerprint unlocking. Both phones are made of nearly full body metal materials, with little difference in hand feel; The difference is that R9 integrates its fingerprint unlocking into the HOME button in the front of the fuselage, while Z11 is designed separately in the rear of the fuselage.

R9's volume key and power key are placed on both sides of the machine, while Z11 is on the same side; The same thing is that the metal frames around the two mobile phones are similar and both are very beautiful. The bottom design of the two phones is also similar, except for the different placement of the headphone hole. The frames of both phones are designed with a high arc, which will not cause discomfort when held in the palm for a long time. Both phones have a good grip.

Compared with the HOME button of the two mobile phones, Xiao Bian prefers the physical key style of R9. The design of Z11, for example, seems somewhat empty at the bottom of the body, and the disadvantages of a big red circle have been explained in the details above.

The system is based on the version developed by Android system, so the overall use difference is not very big, only some details are different, each has its own advantages. It can be seen from the screen display that Nubia Z11 has a borderless visual beauty. Similarly, the screen imaging style is more beautiful than R9, and the color is much warmer.

The main camera pixels of both phones are 1600W pixels, and the actual picture effect is not very different, so I will not show you the comparison of the pictures taken here. It is worth mentioning that the Nubia Z11 software has a variety of camera playing methods that are much richer than OPPO, which can bring more interesting and fun photography experience.

Sun your mobile phone

The Nubia Z11 often touches the edge screen when taking photos or taking selfies, which needs to be improved by the manufacturer later. The whole mobile phone is very stable for taking photos in the hand because of its light weight and thin thickness. However, the camera does not support the function of voice triggered shutter, so it is troublesome to take a selfie.

On a relaxing weekend, take Nubian mobile phones to listen to music, watch movies and play games in the park. It is an excellent way of life. After a busy week of work, breathe fresh air here and bask in the sun can also relieve the pressure in the heart. Referring to the sound quality effect of mobile phone earphones again, although Xiaobian is not a professional music expert, the quality and comfort of listening to music with the original Z11 earphones are very good compared with those with tens of yuan in the market.

The appearance design of this mobile phone can attract passers-by's eyes whether it is used for listening to music, answering and making calls, outdoor carrying, or indoor use. For more female users in the market, Xiao Bian believes that some rose and pink rear covers can be introduced to give users more choices.

Other beautiful pictures

A deep message

The evaluation presentation of this Nubian Z11 mobile phone has brought so much to you, and we believe that you should also have a more in-depth understanding of this mobile phone; There may be some places in the article that are not fully explained or incorrectly described. Please forgive me. Z11 is an ingenious work of Nubian brand focusing on visual borderless aesthetics. Users can finally experience this visual beauty. It is likely that more mobile phone manufacturers will deliberately imitate and copy it in the future, but the classic of Z11 cannot be replaced. In terms of performance, whether playing games or listening to music or watching movies, with the operating system of Nubia UI 4.0, you can operate and try as you like. Compared with other mobile phones in the same price range, the price performance of this mobile phone is very good. However, we can also see that such popular problems as slow charging speed, false touch on the edge, and low aesthetic design of function keys need to be improved. However, I believe Nubia will not disappoint consumers. Let's look forward to the birth of the next series of mobile phones.

Nubia Z11 mobile phone pursues the "borderless" aesthetics to the extreme, and brings users a satisfactory experience with its excellent hardware configuration and smooth system. It is a mobile phone with high cost performance.
