Nubia Z11 mini and nubia Z11 Max use Snapdragon 617 and Snapdragon 652 processors respectively, leaving Snapdragon 820 in the annual flagship nubia Z11 for use. Although the IMX298 sensor is used in the three products, only the nubia Z11 has introduced the optical anti shake lens set, and also the handheld electronic aperture. In the other three models, visual frameless, FiT edge touch technology and Hi Fi chip AK4376 are also only available on nubia Z11, which shows its flagship status. After the launch of the standard version and the exclusive version, now another version is brought - nubia Z11 black gold version.
The hardware configuration of the Nubia Z11 Black Gold Edition is similar to that of the Nubia Z11 Premium Edition, except that the ROM capacity is reduced from 128GB to 64GB, while 6GB RAM is still available. The combination of 6GB RAM+64GB ROM is more grounded for Chinese people. Other configurations are roughly the same. The appearance adopts black as the main color, supplemented by gold lines and elements, which makes it more business like. Next, let's conduct an in-depth evaluation of the nubia Z11 black gold version.
appearance
The appearance of nubia Z11 black gold packaging box is different from that of nubia Z11 Max and nubia Z11 mini. The plastic packaging with mirror surface is adopted. Black is the main color and gold is used for embellishment to highlight the business style.
After opening the box, all accessories are listed. The Nubia Z11 black gold version comes with an original headset. After checking the product library on the Nubia official website, we found that this headset is a Nubia Rhythm Pro headset worth 149 yuan. In ear and dynamic coil design, anti winding noodle line and three key wire control are adopted.
Nubia Rhythm Pro earphones come with large, medium and small silicone earplugs at the bottom of the winder. Although the nubia Z11 black gold version is mainly black and gold, the classic red color is adopted for USB cable and headset.
It is worth mentioning that although the USB cable uses the USB Type-C interface, it comes with a adapter to facilitate users with two mobile phones to take only one data cable out of the door. USB cable is tied together with winding tape, which does not take up space after storage.
The attached quick charger adopts the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 standard, hereinafter referred to as QC 3.0. QC 3.0 mainly provides a flexible voltage regulation mechanism for mobile phone manufacturers to choose, and the maximum power can exceed 20W fast charging power.
The nubia Z11 black gold screen is completely black. Similar to nubia Z9, 2.5D arc protection glass is introduced.
Compared with the Nubia Z11 standard edition and the exclusive edition, the back of the Nubia Z11 black gold edition is mainly black, with gold as the ornament. The two antennas are more beautiful in this color matching, which makes the nubia Z11 black gold version the finishing touch.
One side of the fuselage is equipped with a volume key and a power key. The feedback force of the keys is OK. Pressing the volume down key and the power key at the same time can take a screenshot. The paragraphs feel good. You can quickly take a screenshot by pressing the volume down key and the power key. You don't need to press the volume down key for a few seconds to succeed.
There is no button on the other side of the machine, which is a SIM card slot. Two out of three card slots support Nano SIM card+Nano SIM card or Nano SIM card+Micro SD extended memory card. When dual Nano SIM cards are used, any card slot can be set as the main card. When one card uses data services to access the Internet, the other card can only use the call function; When the main card uses the 4G network of China Mobile and China Unicom, the secondary card supports China Unicom 3G network voice phone at most; Two telecom cards cannot be used in two card slots at the same time; VoLTE services need the support of local operators. In short, it is still a dual card dual standby full Netcom design.
At the bottom of the fuselage are speakers, USB Type-C interfaces and microphones, which are designed symmetrically.
There is a 3.5mm headphone hole on the top of the fuselage and an infrared remote control transmitter.
The nubia Z11 black gold version continues the back fingerprint recognition design of the nubia Z11 series. Compared with the side fingerprint recognition module on the nubia Z9 exclusive version and the nubia Z9 Max elite version, the user experience has improved. The side fingerprint identification module of the elite version of Nubia Z9 Max was not very sensitive or the identification rate was not ideal before. What was more strange was that the fingerprint identification could not be used to unlock the module for the first time after each reboot, and the password must be entered manually. Although the black gold version of nubia Z11 returns to the back fingerprint identification design of the rotten street, the user experience is more mature. Of course, we also expect Nubia to continue to improve the user experience of the side fingerprint identification module, so as to create a differentiated black technology design over time.
The main camera is still surrounded by a red circle. The 16 million pixels do not bulge on the body, and it is generally the same as the back cover. It is worth noting that the thickness and weight of the nubia Z11 black gold version fuselage are further reduced compared with that of the nubia Z9, and the camera can still remain not protruding from the fuselage.
The classic small red circle design is adopted at the front and bottom of the fuselage, and the common menu keys and return keys are still on the left and right sides. In the "System Settings" ->"Bottom Key Customization" interface, we can exchange the positions of the two keys.
Unlike nubia Z11 mini, the black gold version of nubia Z11 does not introduce a self timer light, but the front camera is 8 million pixels. It is worth mentioning that the sensor on the front of the fuselage is well hidden. If not carefully observed, I thought the sensor was inserted into the receiver.
On the whole, the Nubia Z11 black gold version has a calm and atmospheric appearance. Even if the screen is not lit, you can feel a strong business style. The lighter and thinner fuselage, the more rounded edge transition, and the more complete black front shape have replaced the glass fuselage of the nubia Z9 with a metal back cover and introduced a fingerprint identification module.
screen
The nubia Z11 black gold edition continues the visual borderless design and has been upgraded to version 2.0. The 2.5D arc-shaped protective glass, combined with the patented aRC technology, conceals the screen boundary through the prism refraction principle of the screen edge arc-shaped glass, and expands the display to the side. At the same time, it improves the problem of the previous generation of rainbow lines. Viewed from the side of the fuselage, the nubia Z11 black gold version is very elegant against the 2.5D curved glass.
As mentioned above, the sensor of nubia Z11 black gold version is well hidden. If it is not for the tip of film opening, we will not find it without careful observation. The metal frame adopts a bright edge design, and the metal materials of the frame and the fuselage are sanded.
Light up the screen, and then let's see the actual effect of visual borderless. Viewed from the front, the borders on both sides of the fuselage are very narrow. Because the upper and lower borders are also designed to narrow, the overall screen proportion is relatively high in the flagship.
Turn your eyes to the side of the fuselage. Even if you look at the side angle, the frame narrowing effect is still good. Most angles do not see the big black edges and the previous generation of rainbow patterns.
Sliding the wallpaper of the lock screen interface, we can see the display effect similar to that on the Samsung S6 Edge and vivo Xplay5. Although the arc angle is not as big as the latter two, the visual effect created by the nubia Z11 black gold version is quite scientific. Of course, if you want to show off in the circle of friends, I suggest you put the Nubia Z11 black gold model in a row side by side, and then cut a complete picture into several sub pictures, which are displayed on several mobile phones respectively.
The real visual borderless mobile phone can withstand the white wallpaper. Even if the background of the nubia Z11 black gold version is changed to white, the visual borderless effect is still outstanding.
It is worth mentioning that the Nubia Z11 black gold edition continues the design of the lock screen pictorial. After the screen is lit, it will not be unlocked. First, we will see the prompt of sliding upward to unlock at the bottom of the screen.
After a while, we can see the prompt of double clicking the bottom to view the lock screen pictorial, sliding left and right to switch posters, and we can also set the news source of the lock screen pictorial.
Nubia Z11 black gold version adopts the second generation Pixel Eyes display screen, introduces negative liquid crystal light alignment technology, 5.5 inch 1080P resolution, and the official indicator is 500nit brightness. The actual screen test software results show that the highest brightness is 431.47 nits, the contrast is 1768:1, the color temperature is 7873100% of sRGB color gamut, the 104 color average Delta E is 5.2, and the highest Delta E is 11.5. The system adopts the standard saturation adjustment mode by default, and there are two levels of brightness and naturalness. Compared with the iPhone 6s, the Nubia Z11 black gold version has a more colorful display effect, while the iPhone 6s is lighter. The two styles are different from the naked eye.
system
Nubia Z11 black gold version adopts nubia UI 4.0 designed based on Android 6.0.1.
Compared with the standard version, the black gold version of nubia Z11 first changed a set of themes in terms of system UI. When entering the theme management interface, we can also see that the styles of several sets of themes are black gold by default. If you want to change back to a lighter and brighter theme, you need to go to the theme store. Slide the desktop to the leftmost screen, and you can still see the exclusive layout of the camera family, continuing the style of the Nubia Z9 era. Of course, this generation of Neovision suite of Nubia Z11 series also introduces new functions such as clone camera, DNG and macro camera.
Click the menu button on the desktop, and the system will display topics, widgets, desktop management and other options. Among them, the function of batch mobile desktop icons can greatly improve work efficiency and productivity, especially for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder who also like to install hundreds of apps.
It was also mentioned above that nubia Z11 black gold version introduced the function of lock screen pictorial, which can automatically switch lock screen wallpaper every time the screen is lit, except for users who have set fingerprint identification and unlock. The lock screen interface will not be unlocked. Double click the designated area at the bottom to enter the lock screen pictorial setting interface. At this time, we can slide left and right to enjoy these wallpapers. The Nubia Z11 black gold version with the visual frameless design is quite popular.
There is a small slot. Long press the Home key to enter the multi task switching interface. Unlike most of the friend's systems, this interface does not display the occupancy of 6GB RAM in real time. Readers interested in this module are advised to install some RAM capacity detectors, such as the one used by the author.
Another thing worth improving is that when installing software downloaded from unofficial app stores, there is no one time allowed option like Funtouch OS, so you need to turn on the option of unknown source every time, and then find it in security and privacy. After the software is installed, turn off this option. If you don't remember, this option is enabled for a long time by default, which poses a risk to system security over time.
The nubia Z11 black gold version has a built-in mobile phone butler, which has six modules: cleaning and acceleration, permission management, power saving, traffic monitoring, harassment interception, and mobile phone retrieval. The permission management supports the prohibition of booting and self starting applications, and it can also independently control the permissions of various third-party applications.
Nubia Z11 black gold version has a variety of power saving modes, and NeoPower 2.0 is composed of parallel scheduling, intelligent temperature control, PowerExtend 2.0 and other technologies to achieve a balance between endurance, appearance, performance and experience. Whenever the power drops below 20% or 10%, the system will pop up a window to remind the user to charge in time.
For a large slot, the built-in music player in the Nubia UI automatically skips all songs named with digital prefixes when scanning local songs. No matter you move these songs to any folder, the built-in music player will not recognize them. This bug has troubled the author for more than ten minutes. It took a long time to find out why the system could not recognize our test track.
The AK4376 DAC, which is integrated with an ear amplifier, is basically not turned off during the whole operation of the phone, unlike the vivo phone, which provides a Hi Fi switch for users to control themselves. Dolby panoramic sound is built in the system, and switches are provided in the system setting interface. At the same time, Dolby sound effect switches for quick control are also provided in the built-in music player.
The first fingerprint identification input process requires about a dozen times of input. It is worth noting that the system does not prompt users to use multiple angles and multiple input fingerprint edge information. Therefore, small white users are likely to decline in fingerprint identification rate and unlocking success rate in the later stage because the input posture and body position are too single.
To be sure, the fingerprint identification module of nubia Z11 black gold version can realize many functions. In addition to screen wake-up and unlocking, it can also be used for photographing, super screenshots and application encryption. Of course, fingerprint payment is also supported. Officially, it is compatible with Alipay and WeChat fingerprint payment functions. In the actual experience, the Nubia Z11 black gold version has a relatively fast unlocking speed and a relatively high recognition rate. Compared with the Nubia Z9 Max elite version, it has made significant progress.
The screen splitting function of nubia Z11 black gold version belongs to global screen splitting, that is, the screen splitting effect can be achieved at any time and anywhere in any interface. The system will pop up the screen splitting desktop interface by sliding upward from any position of the three touch key areas at the bottom of the screen. We can view videos while chatting on WeChat, or browse the gallery while surfing the Internet. It can also display two WeChat messages in one interface at the same time with the application of the separation function. To exit the split screen mode, just keep clicking the Back button. The split screen window supports the adjustment of size and proportion, which is convenient to switch the window opened by the main force at any time.
The nubia Z11 black gold version supports the separation of applications. Currently, it is only suitable for WeChat and QQ. As shown in the figure above, after the system setting interface is opened, a WeChat icon will appear on the desktop. With the split screen function mentioned above, we can display two WeChat applications on the same screen.
The nubia roaming function means that users can directly purchase roaming packages in the corresponding countries/regions in the nubia roaming app when they travel or travel without having to purchase another SIM card, so that they can enjoy convenient and affordable overseas roaming services in the destination countries/regions. Currently, Nubia roaming supports roaming services in 50 countries and regions.
The Nubia Z11 black gold version upgraded the FiT edge touch technology to version 2.0, simplifying and optimizing the previous generation of edge gestures, making it clearer to use and less confusing in logic. However, due to the frameless visual design, these gestures are very sensitive and often triggered by mistake. Maybe the author is really not used to it, so he usually only opens one or two useful gestures.
camera
According to the convention, the author will evaluate the Nubia Z11 black gold edition in terms of camera parameter interpretation, sample performance and photography experience. The main camera of nubia Z11 black gold version adopts IMX298 sensor, 16 million pixels, F2.0 aperture, and supports phase focusing and optical anti shake. The author selects a one plus mobile phone 3 with parameters similar to the main camera for comparison. All samples in this paper are taken with the maximum output pixel value (16 million pixels) of nubia Z11 black gold plate and one plus mobile phone 3, and at least 5 consecutive photos are taken in the same scene, of which the most stable one is selected as an example.
Compared with the IMX234 of the nubia Z9, the biggest progress of the IMX298 of the nubia Z11 black gold version is the introduction of the phase focusing technology, which improves the focusing speed of the nubia Z11 black gold version in the daytime. However, it is a pity that the 16:9 original frame on the IMX234 is not inherited from the IMX298, so the nubia Z11 black gold version can only use the 4:3 frame for shooting when the full pixel (16 million pixels) is turned on.
The sample part is mainly divided into two modules: day and night. First, let's take a look at the casual shooting in the daytime, which is also a link that users are more concerned about. Although both models have professional models, ordinary consumers basically do not have much time to slowly study it.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The two models show different white balance. On the day of shooting, the sun was shining brightly, and the warm color of the sun projected on the glass curtain wall by Yijia Mobile 3 was just right. The nubia Z11 black gold version is more inclined to cool colors, which well preserves the original appearance of the glass curtain wall.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In the second scene, let's look at the small bridge and flowing water. I really miss Nubia Z9's 16:9 original picture, and the 4:3 picture is quite tangled in the selection of viewing angle. The white balance seems to be out of gene this time. The Nubia Z11 black gold version is warmer, and the mobile phone 3 is colder. Then let's look at the situation before and after HDR mode is turned on.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Before HDR was started, the Nubia Z11 black gold version was similar to the one plus mobile phone 3. The sky part was a bit of science fiction. In terms of white balance, the one plus mobile phone 3 was yellower.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version (HDR), right: one plus phone 3 (HDR)
After HDR is turned on, the warm tone of Yijia Mobile Phone 3 seems a bit too much in this scene. The glass curtain wall near and far seems to be covered with a layer of yellow filter. Personally, I like the color restoration of nubia Z11 black gold version. To be sure, the HDR effect of the two models is good, and the dark details are obviously brightened.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The two models in the above scene do not perform well in the sky restoration, and the feeling of science fiction is too heavy. Then comes the popular analytical power PK.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In addition to the difference in white balance, the analytical power of the nubia Z11 black gold version and the Yijia mobile phone 3 are excellent. Although those flagship computers in the past few years and the current 1000 yuan machine also have tens of millions of sensors, the analytical power of these two 16 year domestic flagship computers is still a long way from each other.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
It is still PK analytical power. Let's enlarge the billboard in the middle area to see how many restaurant brands can be seen by the two models.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Although it doesn't feel like the same, the analytical power of nubia Z11 black gold version is slightly higher than that of one plus mobile phone 3 in this scene.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In terms of macro, the blurring of the two models is due to the large aperture of F2.0, so they both perform well. The blurring state basically appears outside the focal plane. The transition between the virtual and the real is still natural, and will not be particularly stiff or PS traces are obvious.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The red color rendering of OnePlus Mobile 3 is very effective. In addition, it uses the AMOLED screen. If you put this group of samples back on OnePlus Mobile 3, you will feel that the motherland is red. As for the analytical power, the details of both models are in place, and the description of stamens is also quite profound.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Then let's take a look at the backlit scene. The sunlight reaches the camera after being blocked by trees. For the Android camp, purple edges, glare and ghosts are more likely to occur.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
As shown in the above figure, both models have purple edges and glare, but compared with the flagship machine of 15 years, it is a little progress, and the range of glare is gradually reduced.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In the indoor scene, the two flagship machines also show different white balance. Both the ceiling and the carpet can see that the Nubia Z11 black gold version is cold, and the phone 3 is warm.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
After zooming in the details, we can see that the black gold version of the nubia Z11 has a slight advantage. By contrast with the text of the sign on the hands of nurses, the black gold version of the nubia Z11 has a higher sharpness. The biggest difference between the two models in the daytime scene is the white balance. Most scenes of the Nubia Z11 black gold version are cold and blue, while the phone 3 is warm and yellow. There is little difference in the performance of analytical power, virtual effect, ability to suppress glare and purple edge.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The first scene of the night scene is still PK white balance. The two models show two different white balance colors. Which one you like depends on the user's preference. The overall brightness of the night view samples of the two models was tied, but there was no abnormal brightness at night vision level.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The second scene confirms the conclusion of the previous scene again. Although the ISO values of both models are set very high, and they have F2.0 aperture and optical anti shake lens set, the final sample brightness is not satisfactory. Of course, the above two scenes are special extreme night scene tests, so it's still a glorious defeat.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The beautiful and smart models of the fountain at night are expressed, and the overall brightness plus the mobile phone 3 is better. It is worth mentioning that Yijia Mobile 3 will automatically turn on the night view enhancement mode when encountering this scenario, which is actually to further increase the ISO value. Some of the samples taken in succession will be opened and some will be closed. There is no rule to follow.
Left: One plus mobile phone 3 (automatic enhancement mode), right: One plus mobile phone 3
After the night scene enhancement mode is automatically turned on, the performance of Yijia Mobile 3 is not very good. Although the brightness is further improved, the noise has made the samples unusable.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The two models in the above group of samples still show different white balance. For the scene that tests the camera's tolerance, both models have problems encountered by most models, and the details of light and dark parts cannot be taken into account.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
After zooming in the details, the analytical power of the two models is equivalent, and the noise suppression ability is commendable. However, in the same sentence, the areas that should be overexposed are overexposed, and the details that should be overexposed are underexposed.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
After nightfall, the super analytical power seen during the day will also decline, but how much? As shown in the above figure, the white balance gap between the two models is not too big in this scene. Then we zoom in on the details of the central area.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The floor tile texture and the table and chair texture are basically tied. It is worth noting that through EXIF information feedback, Yijia Mobile Phone 3 has loose ISO control over the night scene samples. Compared with the Nubia Z11 black gold version, Yijia Mobile Phone 3 is more willing to increase the ISO value to improve the brightness of the image under the similar shutter time and the same aperture value.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
There is a certain risk in increasing the ISO value to increase the image brightness. After all, the mobile phone does not have a large size CMOS like the SLR camera, so the noise reduction ability of Yijia Mobile Phone 3 is tested. Let's enlarge the sky part of the sample above.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In contrast, the purity of Yijia Mobile 3 with a higher ISO value is higher than that of the Nubia Z11 black gold version, mainly due to the more mature adjustment of its multi frame composite noise reduction algorithm. Moreover, the behind the scenes project is the Spectra ISP built into the Snapdragon 820, which brings about a higher synthesis speed.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Then we will focus on the analytic force. First, we will talk about the central analytic force, and enlarge the central area of the above drawing sheet, as shown in the following figure:
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
The analytical power is basically tied. Nubia Z11's black gold version is slightly ahead of the light board's overexposure control. In contrast, the blurring of Yijia Mobile 3 can be seen with the naked eye.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Let's move the lens to the edge details. If the noise in the sky is easy to remove, the noise in the above scene will really test whether the basic skills of the algorithm are solid. Although the performance of Yijia Mobile 3 is not ideal, considering that the ISO value of the black gold version of Nubia Z11 is doubled, it is understandable. Based on the principle of "shoot well before you can shoot well", Yijia Mobile 3 has performed well, and the top details of the sample above are better than the Nubia Z11 black gold version.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In terms of edge resolution, the two are still tied, but the high ISO calibration strategy of Yijia Mobile 3 has made the sample look very dirty and the impression is not very good.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In the above scenario, the performance of the two mobile phones is almost the same. Let's zoom in to see the details.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In terms of analytical power, both models perform well, which can be seen from the lines on the wall. But the white balance of Yijia Mobile 3 seems to be more beautiful than that of Nubia Z11 in black gold.
One plus mobile phone 3 white balance drift
Of course, Yijia Mobile 3 will automatically correct the white balance in this scene from the second consecutive shot. As shown in the above figure, there are two samples with different color schemes, and the author prefers the latter.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Come to the indoor dim light scene of the night scene, this round we continue to fight analytic power and enlarge the central area of the eagle.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In this round, the analytical power of mobile phone 3 finally exceeded that of the nubia Z11 black gold version. We focus on the eagle head shot by the nubia Z11 black gold version, which showed a significant decline in sharpness.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In terms of night macro, the virtualization effect of the two models is similar. It may be that the virtualization effect of the two models is reduced at night when the light is insufficient. In terms of white balance, the Nubia Z11 black gold version is more attractive this time.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
One plus mobile phone 3 is not boastful. The eagle scene has just been boasted, and the flower scene has been completely defeated by the nubia Z11 black gold version. The analytic power of the central area of Yijia Mobile Phone 3 is obviously insufficient, and it seems that all of them have taken a virtual effect. Of course, similar problems were found in several samples taken in succession, and there was no shaking. It is estimated that the scene is not playing well.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
Under the street light, the glare of the two is not serious. One plus mobile phone 3 performs better than the Nubia Z11 black gold version. The former has floodlight, which reduces the contrast of the image.
Left: nubia Z11 black gold version, right: Yijia mobile phone 3
In the popular drug testing link, the effects of nubia Z11 black gold version and Yijia Mobile 3 made the author salivate, chatting about my hunger again.
In terms of photographing experience, nubia Z11 black gold version has a wealth of photographing modes, and NeoVision photo kit has a wealth of filters, modes, scenes and functions that enable cowboys to take good photos with confidence. Professional mode, focusing and metering point separation, long press to focus locking, hand-held electronic aperture, long exposure and other functions are worth a try for photo enthusiasts. Compared with the previous models, the performance of the Nubia Z11 black gold version in the automatic mode has improved significantly. The overall performance during the day and at night is 3 times as good as that of the Yijia mobile phone with good photo taking performance this year. If the professional model is used, I believe it will be even better.
It is worth mentioning that nubia Z11 black gold version also supports direct output of DNG format photos, which provides great convenience for post production. After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. For several generations, the Nubia Z series flagship will lose the HDR synthesis speed to the flagship computers of friends in the same period. The biggest problem is that the built-in camera of the nubia UI will keep a photo before compositing when compositing HDR photos, which leads to a very long waiting time when holding photos after HDR mode is turned on. This year, the Spectra ISP built into the Snapdragon 820 improved the HDR synthesis speed immediately. Lenovo's ZUK Z2 and OnePlus Mobile 3 are basically ready to shoot in the daytime, and the speed of HDR on and off is almost the same. The Yijia Mobile 3 is even more powerful. It can still maintain this advantage at night and under low light conditions, so the film completion rate is greatly improved.
On the contrary, the waiting time of the nubia Z11 black gold version for HDR synthesis in the daytime is at least 2 seconds, and at night is closer to 5 seconds, which is undoubtedly fatal for the nightscape and low light conditions. The author will find that the Nubia Z11 black gold version has very poor HDR synthesis effect at night, and basically there is ghosting and blurring caused by shaking hands. For the Spectra ISP, which has a very fast computing speed, the performance of the nubia Z11 black gold version is not ideal.
Performance&Endurance
Nubia Z11 black gold version adopts Snapdragon 820 processor, 6GB RAM+64GB ROM, 5.5 inch 1080P screen, 3000mAh battery. In the performance part, the author introduces several models with similar price points, namely, Yijia Mobile 3, Xiaomi Mobile 5 and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro, which also use the Snapdragon 820 platform.
First, look at the achievements of GeekBench 3. The author has used three Nubia mobile phones, namely, Nubia My Prague and Nubia Z9 Max Elite Edition and Nubia Z11 Standard Edition. SoC adopts Snapdragon 615, 810 and 820 respectively. Including the current nubia Z11 black gold version, the four models are straight white. Compared with the models of friends at the same level at the same time, they are not good at scoring. From the GeekBench 3.0 above, we can see the achievements of both single core and multi-core.
After using the latest version of GeekBench 4, the performance of nubia Z11 black gold version has improved. The main premise is that the built-in performance mode of the system must be enabled.
In some scoring scenarios, the performance mode can improve the performance of the nubia Z11 black gold version. However, it seems that 3DMark doesn't like the performance mode, and its performance is low before and after opening.
It is worth mentioning that the Nubia Z11 black gold version is similar to the standard version and does not use UFS 2.0 ROMs, while the Lenovo ZUK, Yijia and Xiaomi models all use UFS 2.0 ROMs. Therefore, the score of A1 SD Bench or AndroBench is bound to fall behind.
The battery life of the Snapdragon 820 is fairly good. In addition to 30 minutes of games, there is one hour of music playing. It is worth mentioning that after the endurance test, the author manually turned off the Dolby sound effect and retested the music listening link separately. The power consumption remained at double digits, so it proved that the nubia Z11 black gold version consumed more power in the music listening link than the flagship computer of a friend.
After the flight mode is turned on, the power consumption is 0% during the 8-hour standby test. In terms of fast charging, use the standard QC 3.0 fast charging head, start charging from 10%, and fill 100% in 2 hours and 15 minutes. For the phenomenon that the charging speed of flagship computers is relatively fast this year, the charging speed of the nubia Z11 black gold version is a little slow.
summary
The nubia Z11 black gold version is a mobile phone with obvious advantages and disadvantages. The visual frameless design and black gold color matching metal body make it a popular target for foreign trade associations. However, cowboys have different opinions on the FiT edge gestures, and the author prefers to turn off most gestures to prevent accidental touch. The popular functions such as global split screen operation, application separation, nubia roaming, and long screenshots are well done, but the basic system functions such as flexible application permission management, and warm prompts at the first entry of fingerprint identification need to be improved.
In terms of photography, the picture quality in both day and night is not as good as that of the first echelon models made in China this year such as Yijia Mobile 3, but the photography experience needs to be improved, especially the HDR synthesis time is too slow. Performance is not good at running points. I didn't feel stuck or dead in actual daily operation. The performance in terms of endurance is commendable, except that the fast charging time is a little long.
