In the last issue, we evaluated the Manshen iLock A5 cloud intelligent fingerprint lock. It gives us a very solid overall feeling. Although it is a domestic brand, it is not careless in intelligence and security. The solid all stainless steel lock body also makes our overall vision very amazing. In this evaluation, we will compare the Manshen iLock A5 with Samsung SHP-DP728, an intelligent fingerprint lock, to see how the Manshen iLock A5 cloud intelligent fingerprint lock performs in front of Samsung SHP-DP728, an international brand.
Parameter comparison
Appearance comparison

Both locks adopt strip design, and the appearance pursues perfection in detail processing. There are no surface mounted screws on the shell.
Samsung SHP-DP728 offers four colors of champagne gold, bronze, coffee and silver, which are bright and beautiful. The corners of the plastic shell are smooth and natural, and the changeable lines and fashion sense make it a big brand.
Manshen iLock A5 is quite apple like, with simple design, solid metal feeling and no lack of quality. It is highly recognized among many intelligent fingerprint locks I have seen.
Material contrast

From the structure of the battery case of the two products, it can be seen that the materials of the two products are obviously different.
Samsung SHP-DP728 uses plastic material with strong plasticity for its shell, which should be the reason why Samsung Lock can be arbitrarily beautiful in appearance design. However, the plastic material is easy to fade and is not abrasion resistant. At first glance, Samsung SHP-DP728 has a good texture, but when I saw the plastic shell, there was still some gap.
The whole body of Manshen iLock A5 is made of 304 stainless steel, which has high strength, strong corrosion resistance, and does not fade. The longer it is used, the brighter it will be.

To compare the touch screen, Samsung SHP-DP728 is made of acrylic material, and the mansheniLock A5 is explosion-proof tempered glass.
The light transmittance and brightness of tempered glass are better than that of acrylic; Acrylic has low hardness and is easy to scratch. Explosion proof tempered glass is superior in strength and wear resistance.
Lock body contrast

Samsung SHP-DP728 uses a small electronic lock commonly used in foreign wooden doors, and many domestic anti-theft doors cannot be fitted. The lock body is made of zinc alloy. It can be automatically locked without manual locking. However, the original anti-theft door lock cannot be used after installation.
Manshen iLock A5 provides three types of lock bodies: standard lock body, overlord lock body and Wang Li lock body. The author chose a standard lock body for testing. The lock body is made of 304 stainless steel and needs to be locked by lifting the handle. The three locks are suitable for most anti-theft doors and wooden doors in China, and can also match the heaven and earth locks on the original anti-theft doors.
Comparison of door lock opening modes
Samsung SHP-DP728 and Manshen iLock A5 have five common unlocking methods: fingerprint, digital password, card, key and remote unlocking (optional). In addition, Samsung SHP-DP728 also adds Bluetooth unlocking methods. A variety of unlocking methods meet the needs of different family roles.
Fingerprint open comparison

On fingerprint identification, Samsung SHP-DP728 selects optical biological living fingerprint identification. When unlocking the fingerprint, you need to touch the metal strip under the fingerprint cover first, then the fingerprint cover will open, and then unlock the fingerprint. Here is a small case. The Samsung SHP-DP728 fingerprint cover has a limited opening time. It will be automatically closed in about 5~6 seconds. That is to say, if the identification is unsuccessful or the action is too slow, a hand pinch may occur.
Manshen iLock A5 selects semiconductor biometrics, which uses a round fingerprint head that is the same application as the iPhone. The concave inside of the fingerprint head is convenient for fingerprint high fitting, which is more ergonomic. This is also the first product that the author has seen in China that applies a round fingerprint head to fingerprint locks.
When purchasing fingerprint locks, the most important purchase criteria are the speed and accuracy of fingerprint identification. We made a practical comparison on the spot. In terms of fingerprint recognition speed, the two products have little difference and can be recognized quickly.
Samsung SHP-DP728 uses an optical biological living fingerprint sensor, which is slightly lower than the semiconductor biological living fingerprint sensor in the accuracy of fingerprint. The false fingerprint on the impression used in the test can also be identified by Samsung SHP-DP728's fingerprint, that is, if someone copies your fingerprint through the mold, it can be unlocked through Samsung SHP-DP728's fingerprint.
When using the false fingerprint on the impression for verification, the verification of Manshen iLock A5 failed.

Next, we used black plastic bags to cover our fingers or when white dust was smeared on the fingers and round fingerprint heads, Samsung SHP-DP728 could not recognize them.
The test of Manshen iLock A5 can successfully identify fingerprints. In terms of fingerprint identification speed, it is almost the same as normal identification. From this result, the identification of dry fingers, dirty fingers and shallow fingerprints of the elderly and children is certainly no problem.

A report shows that most fingerprint locks are opened illegally through the keyhole on the fingerprint lock. When thieves find a keyhole, they will use traditional unlocking methods to unlock. For the weakest link of fingerprint lock, Samsung SHP-DP728 and Manshen iLock A5 first place the mechanical key hole at the bottom of the panel, increasing the difficulty of illegal opening.
In addition, the Manshen iLock A5 is equipped with an electronic anti-theft alarm cylinder. If a foreign object is inserted, the alarm will sound immediately to frighten the lawbreakers. At the same time, the user will have the opportunity to take measures as soon as possible through the remote alarm of Alibaba Smart App.

For the IC card used by Manshen iLock A5, users can use the second-generation ID card, bus card, etc. to register and add. By default, the official will give two additional IC cards. A total of 15 IC cards can be added.
Password opening comparison

Samsung SHP-DP728 and Manshen iLock A5 will randomly appear two groups of numbers before password verification. You need to click verification before entering the password. At the same time, both types of fingerprint locks have a virtual password function, which can randomly enter numbers before and after the correct password to complete password verification to prevent peeping and password traces.
Remote control on comparison

Samsung SHP-DP728 and Manshen iLock A5 also use remote control as an option, because they are seldom used in daily life. It can be applied to senior management office and other places, and it is convenient for others to access while giving consideration to privacy.
Bluetooth on comparison
Samsung SHP-DP728 Bluetooth unlock APP interface
Manshen iLock A5 Alibaba Smart APP user interface
Samsung SHP-DP728 uses the Bluetooth unlock function, which can connect up to 8 mobile phones at the same time. When a family uses Bluetooth unlock, the APP will push home information. Due to the limitation of Bluetooth connection, the push range of messages is limited to the vicinity of the door lock, and Bluetooth may be disconnected at a longer distance.
The manshen iLock A5 has no Bluetooth unlocking function. However, if you use any unlocking method, your mobile phone can receive the home information push from Alibaba Smart APP.
Comparison of other functions
Anti skid alarm
For fingerprint locks, the anti prying alarm function is naturally essential. Both locks will sound the alarm in the case of abnormal unlocking/violent unlocking.

Battery and emergency power supply
When most users buy fingerprint locks, they will worry about what to do if they run out of power. Both Manshen and Samsung use No. 5 batteries for power supply and provide 8 battery positions. The standby time can reach 12-18 months. However, in order to prevent forgetting to replace the battery, both companies provide an emergency charging scheme: Samsung SHP-DP728 uses a relatively rare 9V square battery for emergency charging, and the contact is located below the digital touch key. The Micro USB at the bottom of the manshen iLock A5 can be connected to the power bank for emergency charging.

Samsung SHP-DP728 and Manshen iLock A5 support distance sensing and intelligent wake-up. When users go home to unlock, they will automatically sense and light the fingerprint head and keyboard when they are near the outside handle, and switch to the standby state. In a dark environment, it is convenient to open the door and go home. You can also turn off this function if you are worried that the door lock will consume power when it lights up when someone passes by.
Anti cat eye opening function

Samsung SHP-DP728 has no anti cat eye opening design.
Manshen iLock A5 is designed with an anti cat eye opening button on the inner handle. When users go out, they need to press and hold the anti cat eye button and then press the handle to open the door. For families with cat's eyes, worried about children's naughty pressing the handle to go out, and with pets that can open the door, this design of Manshen iLock A5 is safe and humanistic.
Comprehensive evaluation
Samsung is one of the well-known senior brands in the smart home industry. Although the adaptability and safety of Samsung locks to most anti-theft doors in China are limited, the appearance of the products is fashionable and the big brand effect is obvious.
In the case of a wide variety of security doors and complex security environment in China, for locks, which are used for security protection, the stainless steel material and the lock body structure suitable for China's security requirements can add a line of defense to our psychology. After all, solid things are more reliable. In addition, the intelligent fingerprint lock iLockA5 of Manshenyun is superior to Samsung in fingerprint recognition and intelligent functions.
Objectively speaking, we believe that the iShenyun intelligent fingerprint lock iLockA5 can fully represent the rise and strength of domestic brands. For many consumers with different tastes, if they pursue quality and cost performance, the iShenyun intelligent fingerprint lock iLockA5 is a very good choice.
