Lao Luo brought us a brand new Smartisan M1/M1L This is also another high-end series of Hammer mobile phones besides the T series, and we also got the high configuration Smartisan M1L to see if Lao Luo's feelings are still there.
Smartisan M1L has changed its style from the past to a flat black box. An M word table on the front of the package shows that it is a new series.
We got the high configuration M1L with 6G Memory and 64G Storage space, while others like Snapdragon 821, 5.7 "2K screen, 23 megapixel rear And front 4 megapixels.
Open the package, and the interior is divided into three parts.
After opening them, the internal structure is quite special. The mobile phone, data cable and power adapter all come into view.
The accessories are very simple, the manual and warranty instructions, the pin, the data cable and the power adapter, but the headset is not equipped.
The power adapter is special and supports QC3.0 and PEP2.0 The highest power of the two standards is 24W, and the Smartisan M1 series is also nominally capable of 24W charging. M1L uses QC3.0 standard, while PEP2.0 may be preparing for subsequent products.
The front of the Smartisan M1L can be said to be very similar to the iPhone, but the M1 will be more similar.
The front panel uses 2.5D Glass, but the radian is small, and the screen panel is slightly higher than the middle frame.
The design of the earpiece is a feature of Smartisan mobile phones, and the M1L is no exception. The earpiece is very small and placed together with the sensor to make the front panel design more simple. There is a 4 million pixel camera on the left side of the earpiece. None of the above is a problem, but the receiver is crooked, and obviously, I don't know whether it is a common problem or an individual problem.
The Home key is another slot. It looks like an iPhone in shape, but not in detail. The fingerprint identification module is surrounded by white binding, and white baking paint is on the binding, which seems to be of a lower grade.
Compared with the iPhone 7 Plus, you can feel it.
The back cover is generally thought to be like Meizu's earlier mobile phone, but the M1L is obviously stronger in outline.
The back cover does not use metal, but a piece of bright plastic, so the sense of quality is worse than the popular metal, glass and other materials.
The camera uses Sony's latest IMX318 Sensor, this is a 23 million Pixel camera with OIS Optical anti shake Laser assisted Focus and other functions, in addition, there are dual color temperature LED fill light.
There are concentric metal rings at the camera, which can protect the camera, but it looks a little cheap. The camera is slightly protruding, but this is also reasonable.
There are 3.5mm headphone interface, microphone, USB Type-C interface and speaker at the bottom of the fuselage. The microphone and speaker have four original openings, which are symmetrical in shape.
In terms of the middle frame, aluminum alloy material is used, and the sand blasting process+CNC high gloss trimming process is very conventional, especially because there is no antenna partition strip in the whole middle frame.
On the right side of the phone, the brightness key is used by default, which can be interchanged with the left key. This is also a feature of the Hammer phone, which is very practical for users with "manual brightness obsessive-compulsive disorder".
The buttons on the left side of the fuselage are also card slots. This design is also special, allowing the fuselage to have as few holes as possible. I don't know whether this is the reason. The left and right buttons are not consistent. The right side is obviously "empty", and it feels loose when pressed. It gives a bad feeling, while the left button is relatively normal.
In terms of card slot, instead of using the popular and/or card holder, the double nano-SIM The configuration of the card means that the Smartisan M1L does not support TF card expansion capacity, which is not a big problem for the high configuration 64G. In addition, the fuselage supports all Netcom.
Finally, compared with the iPhone 7 Plus, the Smartisan M1L with a 5.7 inch 2K screen is on the left, and the iPhone 7 Plus with a 5.5 inch 1080P screen is on the right. It can be seen that the former is significantly larger.
Frankly speaking, the Smartisan M1L is certainly not ugly in terms of appearance, but its wide frame, plastic back cover and some small details make people feel that its appearance is backward compared with the Smartisan T2.
Smartisan M1L uses Smartisan OS 3.1.2 (the latest version before the deadline), and the basic routine and style have not changed. To sum up, the system does not have the setting of secondary menus. Instead, it uses 16 or 9 grids to place icons, and it can also manage four pages at a time. These have not changed.
The system is based on Android 6.0.1 and is a deeply customized system. There are 12 shortcut switches in the drop-down bar. It can be seen that the processor model is MSM8996pro, belonging to Snapdragon 821 series, and the body model is SM919.
When it comes to the key functions of the new system, we have to mention One Step, which makes multitasking and resource sharing easier. Cut out the menu from the two top corners, and you can quickly switch between multitasking in the sidebar. There are recent pictures, files, clipboard and other contents on the top. We can quickly share them to different applications by dragging them, which is quite convenient.
Another key update function is called Big Bang, which can be called out through the thumb. In some areas where text editing is not convenient (take Weibo as an example), you can press the screen with your thumb to call out the relevant text. After calling out, it will automatically recognize into phrases. At this time, we can easily copy, search and other functions, which is very intelligent.
At the press conference, Lao Luo announced that the Smartisan M1L uses the "full blood version" Snapdragon 821, that is Dual core 2.34GHz+dual core 2.19GHz From the hardware test results, we can see that it is correct, but in actual use, we found that it is not "full of blood". The specific performance is that in daily application, he can only 2.34GHz+1.59GHz At this time, the small nucleus only has the level of Snapdragon 820, which is the lowest frequency among the Snapdragon 821 we have seen.
When we open the Anthare evaluation, the system will automatically open the "white list" option, allowing users to use the performance mode to maximize the performance of the phone. The same example is Geekbench. We can see in the right figure that we have opened Performance Mode , that is, it can 2.34GHz+2.19GHz It runs in full blood state.
In non whitelist applications, including some tests where we need performance output, the Smartisan M1L cannot intelligently reach full frequency, and users cannot change this situation by manually opening the performance mode, which makes people feel a bit "cheated". From the previous degradation score to the current focus on score, it is difficult for us to understand the ideas of Smartisan OS engineers, and also to understand the practice of limiting the frequency of small cores.
In terms of photographic performance, Smartisan M1L uses the new IMX318 The sensor is equipped with optical anti shake, and its pixel is very high, reaching 23 million , but the unit pixel size is only one μ m This is smaller than the mainstream products, and the night view may be more difficult. The following is the same as the iPhone 7 Plus（ 12 megapixel, 1.22 μ m ）Compare the effect of night shot.
From the night view samples, the M1L is inferior to the iPhone 7 Plus in terms of purity and details, and the noise is obvious. It seems that there is still a big gap between the M1L and the flagship phone.
The second group of samples is a high contrast scene. The highlight M1L is slightly better controlled, but the image resolution is not even as good as that of the iPhone 7 Plus.
