Less than one year after the release of Smartisan T2, the hammer Smartisan M1/M1L was released on October 18. it It avoided the embarrassment of T3 in terms of naming, and directly opened an M series, but from the outside, it is more like a high-level nut. The configuration and price of the real top configuration let us see different hammers, but the huge changes in appearance details and concerns also made us feel surprised that "what we see is not a hammer".
Comparison of hammer T2, M1/M1L parameters
Packaging and appearance
The packaging of the hammer Smartisan M1L is much more careful than that of the previous year's Smartisan T2, with a special touch. The design of the "flip box" is much simpler and more convenient than the common small box packaging.
The accessories include a quick charging head that has been waiting for hammering powder for two years. It uses Qualcomm QC3.0 quick charging standard, supports up to 12V2A, and a total of 24W output. There is a concave surface on the side that is convenient to hold.
The data cable has its own LED light, which lights up automatically after power on. The brightness is not high, so it is convenient to find the cable head and light the socket in the dark, but not too dazzling. Although you can buy similar products for less than 10 yuan on Taobao, as an original accessory, it is really more careful.
As Lao Luo said at the press conference, the rounded rectangular fuselage+the prototype Home key will make the machine much like the iPhone, especially in the case of "general border control+no radian on the forehead and chin+only the home key and one entity key+white fuselage"... But in fact, the Android camp does not have a major factory that uses the round home key at all, and there is no deliberate circumvention, which itself seems to be a deliberate catering. It is hard not to doubt that this is designed specifically because so many conditions can be hit one by one.
The earpiece is the combination design of the light/distance sensor and the earpiece of the Hammer brand, but this time the earpiece and the home key are not vertically centered, so Virgo will be a little confused.
The glass of the home key is 2.5D polished, and its size is similar to that of the iPhone, but the metal of the outer ring of the M1L home key is wider than the normal proportion, and it is also painted, resulting in a smaller fingerprint identification area.
Frame contrast, left hammer M1L, top right hammer T1, bottom right Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro
There is no plastic washer between the glass and the metal frame of the M1L, and the frame control is not very good. Considering the black edge of the screen, the width of the M1L frame is not significantly different from the smaller T2 screen, which reduces the screen proportion/sense of quality/style of the machine to a certain extent.
The side of the metal frame is frosted, and there are CNC bright chamfers at the front and back. But in my opinion, the full frame coarse frosting process on T2 is more quality oriented. The 2.5D glass has a small radian, which is close to the height of the metal frame. The handle of the edge is still a little bit slightly, but it is certainly much better than T2.
Dual nano SIM card slots also act as volume buttons, and the metal cover of the card slot has a return spring
There are symmetrical volume/brightness keys on both sides, which can be switched or set as power button in the system. The characteristic "key card slot" of the hammer is still retained (similar design is also available on the Moto Droid Turbo), and this time it is upgraded to a double card slot. The buttons on the left side only have a certain vacancy in the left and right directions, and the buttons feel tight.
However, this one on our hand and the first batch of users generally reported that the buttons on the right side had obvious vacancy, and the pressing feel was worse than the buttons on the left side, and the "volume up" button of the mass production machine we bought collapsed... I hope that the later batch can solve this quality and quality control problem.
The back cover is made of plastic. As a "compensation", the official leather back cover version is available. The plastic back cover has an overall radian, and the hammer logo below is much smaller and low-key. Whether glass or plastic, Polished surface Fingerprint collection ability is very strong. Most people complain that the position of the camera is too low, similar to the previous one plus two, which is not harmonious on the whole. This may be a compromise to control the bulge of the camera. In addition, the laser sensor and flash lamp are both made of separate holes, and the handling of these details is not much like the hammer in everyone's impression.
There is only a noise reducing microphone on the top, and no infrared module is added. At the bottom are 3.5mm headphone connector, microphone, Type-C connector and speaker. Dust grid is specially made behind the large and dense openings.
Comparison of hammer M1L with T2 and iPhone
Whether good or bad, Hammer is indeed a manufacturer that does not follow common sense. The first generation T1 has a symmetrical volume/brightness key, a hidden distance sensor, three diamond keys and a glass back cover. The second generation T2 eliminates the power button and introduces 2.5D glass and a metal non breakpoint frame. In addition to entity return and menu keys, these features are inherited to Hammer M1/M1L.
The M1/M1L is more in harmony with the mainstream concept: the iPhone like shape, the cancellation of entity return and setting keys, and the introduction of touch return similar to Meizu mBack. Although the author's aesthetic perception is different from teacher Luo's previous T1/T2, at least they are not ugly, but M1/M1L seems to be more distant from "beauty". There are many design and manufacturing compromises in the machine, and even the pen writer began to miss the controversial T1/T2.
Workmanship&feel&fingerprint identification
At the time of Smartisan T1, due to the lack of personnel and experience, the hammer team had a variety of workmanship and design problems in the previous batch of machines, such as screen cracking, button collapse, etc., but T2 has been greatly improved, and the workmanship is commendable. However, it may be limited by cost control. The M1L with high cost performance ratio has some setbacks in overall workmanship and ID design. The workmanship problems are mainly due to the different feel/collapse of the volume/brightness buttons, and the gap control between the plastic back cover and the body.
The overall hand feel of the hammer M1L is average. The size of the machine is close to that of the iPhone 7 Plus, which is relatively wide. The pressure of a single hand grip is large. The junction on the back of the metal frame is slightly scratched, and the keys on both sides are slightly higher.
Fingerprint identification is the same function that made hammer powder wait for a long time as fast charging. You should know that Meizu MX4 Pro, the earliest domestic positive fingerprint identification machine, has been in November 2014:
Speed: It takes about 12 times of pressing to enter fingerprint, which is fast. The actual recognition and unlocking speed has been relatively fast, but there are too many domestic flagship players in active service, which can only be ranked at the lower middle level. It is close to iPhone and S7, slower than Xiaomi 5 and Moto Z, and is significantly different from the one plus 3, OPPO R9, vivo X7 and other extreme models.
Features: In order to improve security, the first fingerprint entry will be prompted by the wifi trust list, during which the network will be disconnected; The fingerprint directly triggers the payment page of WeChat/Alipay, which can achieve the effect of "unlocking with thumb touch and opening the payment page of WeChat/Alipay directly with forefinger touch". It is highly practical.
Unlocking experience: Its fingerprint identification module can be unlocked by touching, without pressing the entity home key. Recently, this design idea has been popularized in domestic mobile phones (X7/R9/one plus three are similar designs). It is not known whether it is anti touch or design bug. If you press and keep pressing the home key, the machine will not perform fingerprint identification unlocking, but if you click and release it, you can enter the unlocking and desktop.
screen
The hammer M1/M1L is equipped with 5.15 inch and 5.7 inch IPS screens respectively, of which the M1L is a 2K screen (2560 * 1440) with a nominal maximum brightness of 400 nits and a contrast of 1500:1, which can cover 95% NTSC color gamut.
Color level test
The measured maximum brightness of the Smartisan M1L screen is about 450 nits, and the contrast is up to 2058:1, showing excellent performance. The default color temperature is 7660K, which is preferred by Asians. However, we were surprised by the color accuracy. Although the hardware configuration of the hammer was often blacked, the screen, especially the color accuracy, has always been well done in domestic computers, so we had high expectations.
However, under the commonly used 100 nit brightness, the average deltaE of the Smartisan M1L in 104 colors is 5.2, and the maximum deltaE is 10.1 (the smaller the value, the better), which only reaches the lower middle level of the domestic machine, and even inferior to many AMOLED screens with poor "quality". For comparison, iPhone 7 is 1.6, Note5 is 1.8, S6 edge+is 2.6, and S7 edge is 2.9.
performance
Frequency and voltage monitoring of large core, small core and GPU of hammer M1L mass production machine evaluated this time
to configure: Because of the tragedy of Snapdragon 810 last year, the hammer T2 did not use the flagship core. This year, the hammer Smartisan M1L is not only "finally", but also the first batch of models to use Snapdragon 821. The main changes of the latter compared with 820 are overclocking and voltage drop. The CPU core frequency is increased from 1.59+2.15GHz to 2.19+2.34GHz, and the GPU is increased from 624MHz to 653MHz.
The voltage of Snapdragon 821 at the same frequency is lower than that of 820, which saves more power and generates less heat at the same frequency, that is, the "physique" is better, so the frequency displayed in the detection software (below 2GHz) is almost the "best" level.
Comparison object: We use Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe (Zunjue) and Xiaomi 5s Plus, which are both full blood versions of Snapdragon 821 Regular Snapdragon 820 LG G5、 Samsung of Exynos 8890 S7 edge.
It is worth noting that previously, Hammer had always been disgusted with running points, so some running points apps were deliberately negatively optimized. But ironically, M1L finally provided a performance mode dedicated to running points, just like many domestic manufacturers. When running minutes, the machine can control the CPU frequency to the maximum regardless of the temperature. The 821 runs with all its strength. It is extremely hot and has a strong sense of heat, which will give people the illusion that the plastic back cover will melt.
CPU operation performance test
CPU computing performance: Smartisan M1L, the hammer that unlocks the frequency control, has a very eye-catching performance in running points. GeekBench's single core running points dominate the Snapdragon 821 platform, and its multi-core running points are only second to the eight core Exynos8890 and Kirin 955/960. However, the rest of the running points test are competing with other 821 models. but In the RAR and Pi tests that have not been added to the white list of running points, there is no obvious difference between the performance and that of the Snapdragon 820 。
GPU graphics performance test
GPU graphics performance: The Adreno530 on the 820 was originally the strongest GPU on the Android platform. The 821 increased its frequency again, further widening the gap with other models. Among them, the performance of the Xiaomi 5s Plus is abnormal and weaker than that of the 820 model.
Flash memory read/write speed test
Flash read/write speed: This test is directly related to the flash memory capacity. In the test machine, only the G5 and S7 edges are 32G, and other machines are 64G. The overall performance of the hammer Smartisan M1L is commendable, but the random writing performance that most affects the loading performance is average.
CPU 4 core copier monitoring and temperature recording
In terms of frequency and core scheduling, The 4-core full open copy machine test at 29 ° C is aimed at the performance stability of the machine under high load operation for a long time. The longer the high frequency is maintained, the better:
In the first 30 seconds, the big and small cores are 1.6+2.35GHz, which is the highest frequency that M1L can use daily;
After 70 seconds, the large and small cores are 1.6+1.67GHz;
After 160 seconds, the large and small cores will be 1.44+1.5GHz, and the frequency will fluctuate once for 1 or 2 seconds after 7 or 8 seconds;
320 seconds later, the big and small cores dropped to 0.9+1.51GHz, during which the small cores kept beating between 0.9-1.2GHz, The situation remained unchanged until 450s.
What's more special is that the hammer M1L can even take a smooth screenshot when copying. It is one of the few machines that has deliberately left extra force in the application of copying.
Performance Summary
The biggest promotion of 821 should have been soaring Small nucleus frequency (The frequency of small cores has caught up with that of 820 large cores). However, in daily use, the hammer Smartisan M1L large core can run 2.34G, but the maximum frequency of small cores is limited to 1.6GHz. but Hammer M1L is obviously more inclined to power consumption control. In addition to GeekBench, Anthare and a few other famous running points applications, the Snapdragon 821 Although the hardware is "full of blood", the software is still "castrated" , the regulation is relatively negative and practical The system cannot respond to Snapdragon 820 opens the gap.
The rare full blood version of Snapdragon 821 is still unable to "run" heartily in daily use, and it is a pity that users cannot turn on the performance mode by themselves in daily use. It is hoped that in the future system update, independent performance mode switches can be provided for users who like high response. After all, it is one thing whether they can be used or not, and it is another thing whether they can be used or not.
system
Smartisan OS has always been the most important selling point of hammer/nut series mobile phones. It was released on March 27, 2013 (called Hammer ROM in the early years), and was open for download in June of the same year. The Smartisan T2 released in December 2015 is equipped with Smartisan OS 2.5, while the Smartisan M1/M1L is equipped with Smartisan OS 3.1.3 based on Android 6.0.
Lock screen and desktop
Safety center and automatic start control
The evaluation of this system by different users is very polarized. People who like it say that its functions are warm and practical, while people who hate it feel that it is an "old man ROM". The characteristics of this system are very distinctive: Jiugongge desktop, a large number of pseudo materialized and animated images, entity brightness buttons, simple and easy-to-use simulation app, and a lot of intimate details:
Screen capture comes with screen recording, scrolling screen capture, framing and graffiti functions. The new version even has a mobile phone frame;
The system has its own thumb to pull down and hover The screenshot file comes with the name of the app;
When taking a horizontal picture, it will show which direction is up, with its own QR code and business card scanning;
The flashlight will call the light sensor to prevent the flashlight from being opened in the pocket by mistake;
The sound and picture under wifi are timely and smooth, and the remote assistance is simple and easy to use, but only the hammer mobile phone can be used temporarily;
Different fingers can be used to directly launch mobile payment pages, etc
However, the system still lacks some details:
After I finally added my own file manager, the background auto start option is still hidden deeply and quite troublesome;
It is rare that the system wakes up after being blocked. You have to go in one application point by one to know whether it has self start permission;
Because of the double click function, there will be a waiting time of a few tenths of a second when the home key is clicked, which makes people feel that the machine responds slowly (this is a sacrifice for double click, which may not be improved)
In general, there are three major improvements to the new system, two of which are core selling points of the whole system, and they are really creative functions:
Because after "borrowing" the design similar to Meizu mBack, the original two return and menu entity keys that have been talked about by everyone have also disappeared. Tap to return, press to return to the home page, and double-click to call up the multitasking interface. The whole operation is much more comfortable and smooth than T2.
Big Bang (Big Bang) word selection. Large area pressing anywhere with a text interface will "explode" all words with simple semantic word segmentation, which can easily select "words" for sharing, editing and other operations.
Actually measured news applications, microblogs, WeChat and almost all other applications can be exploded, but there is still a small problem of "mistakenly exploding" other words when large areas of press face shorter and smaller words. In addition, the image text explosion function in the release conference is not supported in this version.
Top picture, file and text managers
The apps and sharing shortcuts on the side can be customized
One Step strengthens the sidebar/one hand mode, which can be triggered by sliding in from two corners of the screen on any screen (that is, many mobile phones trigger the action of one hand mode). This "one handed mode" has app shortcuts on the side, and the top is further integrated with images, file managers and clipboard (this is a conscience).
This is similar to the PC taskbar, which is still the fastest multi application switching scheme. Another progress made by Hammer is to add a very easy to understand "drag and drop" function for file sharing between applications that are already interconnected on the Android platform. Pictures, files, and text can be directly dragged by long pressing, At this time, the shortcut on the right will be replaced with the content in the common sharing menu, and you can share the content when you let go of the target.
The efficiency of this function is also unmatched, and it is very suitable for large screen mobile phones, which makes people love it. I hope that after Hammer opened these two functions in January, other manufacturers and developers can use them in a timely manner.
In the evaluation of Hammer Smartisan T2, the author has made a detailed description and analysis of this system, and interested users can stamp us Love to play computer games Evaluation of "Emotional Contradiction, Hammer Smartisan T2 Evaluation Report" //fanlma.cn/news/201601/yu8WxWB5SdUQxOxi.html , I won't go too far here.
Photography and imaging
Last year's hammer T2 only carried the "IMX214+optical anti shake" scheme of the previous year, but this year's hammer M1L, in addition to Snapdragon 821, also carried the latest flagship standard configuration - "IMX318+optical anti shake" scheme. This sensor with 23 million pixels and 1 micron unit pixel size has also appeared on the Zenfone3 Zunjue and Aoshi versions of ASUS. Now let's see how it will behave under the guidance of Hammer Technology.
Hammer M1L photo interface
The photographing experience of Hammer M1L is still 1-2 years ago, and there is a clear gap between its intelligence and speed and the mainstream flagship of OnePlus 3 and Note5.
Camera interface, viewfinder and Intelligence ： The photo app of Hammer M1L looks very old. There will be obvious stuttering and frame dropping when shooting in low light, and it is also very rare Flagship without automatic night view and HDR function;
Shutter HDR and night scene processing speed: The daytime response speed of the Hammer M1L camera is fairly good. There will be no shooting jam in the night view mode, but the shutter will have to wait about 2 seconds before continuing to respond. But HDR is very, very slow. After clicking the shutter, the view and shutter will be stuck for about 3 or 4 seconds, It must be the slowest flagship in HDR mode in recent years. Even Hammer T2 has no such problem. It may be a bug in the current version of the system. I hope it can be fixed as soon as possible.
Focus success rate vs Film rate: The focusing performance of hammer M1L is satisfactory, close to the level of one plus three, but the film forming rate is low, and it is easy to damage the film due to focusing and shaking hands.
In addition, whether it is Smartisan OS 2.5 before Hammer T2 or Smartisan OS 3.1.3 on M1L, the default image quality of the camera is medium (fine) rather than super fine. The reason why 4K is not turned on by default in the video is to save capacity, which is acceptable, but the default photo quality is not the highest. This setting is simply incomprehensible. Other manufacturers are trying their best to improve the photo quality. As a result, the hammer has not let the camera that has not performed well play its best, and ordinary users will never notice this problem!!! It is recommended to modify the settings immediately after the machine is available.
Wide angle&lens quality
Compared with the sample size, the sample size of hammer M1L with 23 million pixels is a whole circle larger than that of hammer T2. On the contrary, there is no obvious difference between the 13 megapixel T2 sample and the 16 megapixel Note5/One Plus 3 sample.
The equivalent focal length of hammer M1L is maintained at 28mm, and the wide angle is consistent with Note5, which is smaller than one plus three. After equal magnification, the same object is much larger on the hammer M1L, and the size of the object in the 16:9 frame of Note 5 is slightly larger than that of one plus three. If other conditions remain unchanged, the advantage of the hammer M1L in discriminant force will be very obvious.
The lens module on the hammer M1L is well matched. Glare control Several machines perform well. Note 5 and hammer T2 are relatively weak, and one plus three is similar to hammer M1L (M1L has smaller light spot due to serious insufficient exposure).
Edge degradation, Compared with the picture in the lower left corner, the edge degradation control of hammer M1L is amazing, even more than Note5, which is not less than one plus three.
White balance/metering/contrast/tolerance contrast
This part of the sample is used to compare the white balance, photometry and color saturation, and the discriminant force sample is concentrated in the last part
The focus of all samples is at the center. Note 5 is in full automatic mode, one plus three full HQ mode. Hammer M1L and Hammer T2 select samples with better performance as representatives in night view and automatic mode.

Daytime scenario 2

Hammer M1L Poor HDR effect 。 Its HDR mode has little impact on white balance, but it will significantly improve the metering, and the dark details are dyed very clearly, which can be directly distinguished even without looking at the file name and size (the size of the sample will be slightly smaller in HDR mode).
Hammer M1L under strong light Underexposure Tendency of The light scene is close to what the naked eye can see, and it is easy to underexpose when the light is weak, and the weaker the light is, the more serious the underexposure is (the picture brightness of the extremely weak light scene is not as bright as T2, and it is basically black, and 1 μ m unit pixel size seems to be very difficult).
In terms of white balance, the hammer M1L is relatively stable, and there will not be too much drift. In contrast, like Huawei P9, there is a slight increase in contrast, which makes people feel more transparent, but tolerance is also affected. It may also be related to the ultra small unit pixel size, which is not available in other machines when the light becomes weak Saturation decrease Problems.
Overall, slightly Enhanced contrast +Ultra small unit pixel size Decreased saturation and sensitivity+ The HDR algorithm with low availability has no advantage over the previous generation in the look and feel of the Hammer M1L sample, and is under greater pressure compared with the flagship ranking high.

The sample of hammer M1L is obvious Crisp Enhancement , but because the pixels are higher, the white edge caused by sharpening is slightly smaller than one plus three. M1L The advantages of limit discrimination are obvious Even though the HDR mode will reduce and sharpen the effect, the contours and details of various objects are more abundant, but the noise control at fine points is general.
Unfortunately, the 1-micron unit pixel size of the IMX318 makes the ISO growth rate and image quality decline after the machine's light gets worse, which is much faster than other 1.12-micron+optical anti shake schemes: It is slightly weaker than 1+3 and Note5 under normal light, and even T2 cannot win under weak light And there is a serious problem of insufficient weak light exposure. The only thing to be commended is that the noise control of hammer M1L is good, and even if the ISO exceeds 1000, it also has a good picture purity.
Summary
Hammer M1L is a conventional optical anti shake IMX318 performance. The latter has high pixels but low unit pixel size, which means that weak light performance and tolerance are weaker. It can be summarized as "light intensity is strong, light intensity is weak". although There is still some distance from the first echelon of photographers, Weak light and extremely weak light performance is not as good as hammer T2, but the discrimination in most environments is significantly improved 。 The main problems of the M1L camera are Photo experience (focusing, film rate, HDR, night view mode speed, etc.) and Weak light performance 。
tone quality
The audio architecture of the Smartisan M1L is quite special this time. It uses CS4398 and two OPA1622 (two, one for each channel). Hammer Technology can be said to be stingy or generous in terms of audio chips. As early as Smartisan T1, Hammer has added an independent operational amplifier OPA2604, and Smartisan T2 is equipped with two OPA1612, Smartisan M1 directly uses two OPA1622, which is a luxury in the same mobile phone. The question is, why don't you even give me an independent DAC?
OPA1622 is a new high-performance operational amplifier chip of Texas Instruments. Its first launch is the AM3 ear amplifier module of Feiao X7, while the hammer M1/M1L is the first launch on mobile phones. In addition to M1, which has OPA1622 with both left and right channels, M1L also has an independent DAC - CS4398. There is no doubt that the sound quality will be much higher. CS4398 is a new product that is widely used. In the mobile phone field, it has appeared in vivo X1, Xplay, X5, Xplay5 standard version and other products.
In terms of listening sense, the quality of Smartisan M1L has been improved by one ear compared with T2, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: the low-frequency energy sense and cohesion have been greatly improved, the overall sound base has become thicker and more sound details, and the sound separation and sound field size of M1L have obvious advantages over previous generations. With the addition of independent DAC on the M1L, the overall effect is absolutely immediate. However, it is strange that we can not experience the great advantages of dual op amps in terms of thrust on both M1L and T2, and there is no big difference compared with the single op amp chip scheme.
Compared with the current benchmark model V20 (ES9218), the M1L still has an obvious quality gap. The main problems are that the intermediate frequency is scattered, the low frequency is weak, and the human voice has a serious dental sound. In addition, the M1L with dual operational amplifiers has a significant difference in thrust compared with the V20 in the normal gain state (the gain will be automatically adjusted according to the headphone impedance). We can only expect the hammer to achieve a big "burst" in the audio of T3 or M2 series.
Endurance&Charging&Heating
The Hammer Smartisan M1L is equipped with a 4080mAh battery. After 30 minutes of large-scale games (NBA 2K15), 30 minutes of wifi and 4G Internet access, 1 hour of music playing and 30 minutes of local video playing, the remaining power is 68% after a full three hour endurance test.
Because the battery capacity is very large, there is no pressure to win over hammer T2 and nut U1, but the overall endurance is weaker than the mainstream flagship of Snapdragon 820+3000mAh, which is unexpected. Even if its HiFi chip is removed, its power consumption in the music part is 3% more than that of common models, and the pressure of the 5.7 inch 2k screen, this is not like the performance of the 4080mAh large battery. Users may be sad because they have borne the weight of 4080mAh battery, but have not got the expected endurance
The charging head supports Qualcomm QC3.0 fast charging, with a maximum power of 25W. After two years of backwardness, the Hammer finally equipped the mobile phone with a fast charge. The actual charge is about 20.7W when the screen is off, and about 21W when the screen is on. Although it is not up to the nominal value, it has a relatively high power.
The measured charging speed is quite powerful: it takes 1 hour and 26 minutes to charge from 5% to 100%, and there will be no deceleration until 90% of the electricity is charged. 30% in 15 minutes, 59% in 30 minutes, 83% in 45 minutes and 95% in one hour. Compared with the slow charging hammer T2, it is a leap across the century.
In terms of heating, the room temperature is 32.6 degrees. After 20 minutes of NBA 2K15, the highest temperature at the front of the fuselage appears at the lower right side of the receiver, about 44 degrees; The highest temperature on the back appears on the left side of the camera, which is about 46.8 degrees. The heating control performance is average. In addition to the metal frame at the top, the back is made of plastic, which is a blessing in disguise. The heat is not obvious.
summary
The hammer Smartisan M1L is a top equipped domestic flagship, but it is actually a barrel type mobile phone. The expectation of high configuration makes a good performance. In the whole evaluation, it is only "average" that gets the most comments: high-quality screen, but the color accuracy goes backwards, the supposed strong performance is difficult to play in the current version of the system, the big battery, but the endurance is slightly lower than the mainstream 820 model, and ultra-high pixel photography also has clear advantages and disadvantages, Only Big Bang and One Step in the system can bring substantial advantages.
From the overall performance, although the price performance of the Smartisan M1L cannot compare with that of the ZUK Z2 Pro, One Plus 3, and Xiaomi 5/5s, it is already the highest price performance in the hammer series. Hammer fans can finally use the flagship hardware, which itself is a happy thing. And even the current "average" is much better than the various shortcomings of the hammer Smartisan T2. The latter is not worth buying in our eyes, but the Smartisan M1L is already a machine that can be tried. Maybe it will not be as bad as you expected, but certainly not too bad.
The author's fragmented thoughts
In fact, it is easy for users to discuss with us who are machine geeks. Whether it is like the ZUK Z2/Z2 Pro, which has an incredible price performance ratio, a balanced and excellent tuning like one plus three, a cool technology like Xiaomi MIX, or a hardware advantage like Mate 9, as long as the product can afford the price, the manufacturer will not brag about it, Don't treat users as fools, Almost all of us would cheer and pick up our wallets. Although there is still a long way to go, Smartisan M1L has been working hard on this road, and we still have a positive attitude towards this product.
As for Smartisan OS, which has undergone major interactive changes, but still stays in the pseudo materialized UI, with simple basic functions but advanced features such as Big Bang and One Step, it seems to be a variety of logical contradictions. But when we think about it carefully, maybe we think too much. The reason for all these things may be that the Hammer team has customized the system for themselves.
The nine grid table top, extremely realistic and symmetrical design of various obsessive-compulsive disorder may be the personal needs of Mr. Luo, the old flower Virgo. However, from Apple Mac OS to Windows peripheral software support, Mac platform document optimization, and Big Bang, One Step, which suddenly went to the field of heavy efficiency optimization, are obviously driven by the needs of the Hammer team members themselves.
As for the various compromises on the appearance and workmanship of the Smartisan M1/M1L, The addition of performance mode, Mr. Luo's various convergence performances at the press conference, we can see better products and hammers that seem to be slowly being polished off. All kinds of compromises of Mr. Luo's slapping on the face suggest that, perhaps under the pressure of reality, they are becoming what they used to hate most.
Although I won't buy their previous products, compared with the current stable machines, I suddenly miss the hammer and crosstalk actors who are crazy and reckless, and thank them for all the changes they have brought to the industry. Thank you.
