The development of smart phones has finally returned to calm after a rapid leap forward process. Homogeneity has become a major problem facing all mobile phone manufacturers. Today, how can mobile phones innovate? Every manufacturer wants to know the answer to this question, so we saw Samsung's hyperboloid mobile phone Edge, Nubia's borderless mobile phone Z, and Xiaomi's full screen mobile phone MIX. But these are all about appearance. Today's protagonist is a model that makes a difference in function - COCOPICO projection mobile phone M1.

Kekezhuo, a brand that is new to the mobile phone industry, didn't know about the brand until I got the Kekezhuo M1 phone. After checking some information, I learned that it was originally a technology company from Shenzhen that focused on projection terminal products and was in the leading position in the smart micro field, Therefore, M1, which integrates the projector into the smart phone, is worth looking forward to. How is it a mobile phone that turns the "bow head clan" into the "rise head clan"? How did you become a portable projector?

Before getting to know Kekezhuo M1, I'd like to thank you first Love to play computer games Trial opportunities offered.

When this phone came to me with the box, I thought it was an ordinary smart phone. When I opened the box, M1 lay there, and it was difficult to connect it with the huge projector. When you take it out, the thick body and conspicuous projection module immediately reveal its essence - phones that do not want to be projectors are not good phones.

·Appearance design

The size of the Kekezhuo M1 has reached 153x78x13.5mm. It is a standard mobile phone, but its thickness has delayed its development. However, considering that there is a projection module inside it, this size is acceptable.

The front of M1 uses a black panel, with a screen size of 5.5 inches. It looks very simple when the screen is resting. There are distance light sensors (well hidden, invisible), earphones and front camera on the forehead. There is no touch button on the chin, but it still maintains the same width as the forehead, so the screen proportion is relatively small, However, the M1's border control is in good order, with no visible black edges. The visual impression is very good.

The "thick" frame of Kekezhuo M1 passes through a silver aluminum alloy middle frame, and then comes to the integrated rear shell. The back shell is made of light blue plastic, so the weight of the whole machine is well controlled, and the corners are rounded. The grip is OK, and the feel is round without scratching. It is only slightly different from other mobile phones in thickness.

The right side of M1 is the projection key and volume key, the left side is the SIM and TF dual card slot, the power key and headphone connector are at the top, and the USB2.0 socket and speaker are at the bottom. This key layout is similar to that of other mobile phones. The only difference is that the projection key and volume key are on one side. It is always easy to use the projection key as the volume key. The purpose of this layout may be to meet the need to press the projection key when holding it with one hand.

M1 is marked with "NET. AGE" in the middle of its back, and there is no other words except for it. The upper left part is the main camera and flash, and the two are slightly raised; The silver part on the upper right is the projection module, which slightly protrudes from the fuselage. According to the data, M1 adopts Texas Instruments 0.3EM DLP projection module, which is called Digital Light Processing (DLP) in full. The size of this micro projection chip is only 0.3 inches, so it has the current M1 body, which is not too bulky.

The left side of the projection module is the focus button, which can be used to adjust the focus of the projection plane during projection; The top is the launch port of the projection light source, protected by a ring of aluminum alloy material. On the whole, the projection module of M1 not only makes it unique, but also ensures the integrity of the whole machine, without too much obtrusiveness, so that the Kezhuo M1 has a truly mobile phone appearance.

·As a mobile phone

As a mobile phone, can the Kekezhuo M1 meet daily use?

It is equipped with Lianxin Technology's 28nm process LC1860 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 5.5 inch 1280x720 resolution screen, and a PPI of 320, just reaching the retina level. Master Lu scored 46101 points, which is roughly the level of the current thousand yuan mobile phone. It is a low-end model in terms of mobile phones.

The cell phone battery is 3100mAh, and its endurance and charging performance are up to standard. Even during projection, there is no obvious heating phenomenon, and it is well controlled. However, compared with the body of such thickness, it is still expected to make the battery larger.

M1 runs the customized Android 4.4.4 system, and the classic "three diamond keys" of Android are integrated at the bottom of the screen. On the left side of the desktop is the integrated setting page of one button switch, which is very convenient to set up; The system icon is a round rectangle with rich colors. The adaptation of third-party icons is rough. Only a transparent frame is added outside the original icon, which is not uniform enough. The overall UI style is very retro, and it has a sense of going through the dream of the past.

The front camera of M1 is 2 million pixels, and the rear camera is 13 million pixels. The front camera does not have its own beauty function, so it is obviously not a self portrait party dish; In terms of the main camera, the built-in two-dimensional code, panorama, night scene and other photo taking modes are relatively simple to operate. The imaging in the daytime is good, but it is a bit unsatisfactory in dark light conditions. To take good photos, you have to rely on P pictures.

The biggest highlight of the M1 system is that there is a projector icon in the middle of the Dock bar on the desktop. Click this icon to open the projection module and project the contents of the mobile phone desktop. Once the projection mode is switched, the M1 screen will also go out quickly, and only one screen will be retained as far as possible. At this time, the mobile phone screen is not locked, but is turned off, and can be turned on when it is clear, so as to facilitate the click operation on the screen.

As a mobile phone, the Coco Zhuo M1 has no obvious shortcomings. It has all the basic functions of smart phones and can also be used as a daily phone. However, in the era when the Android system has developed to 7.0, its system version is a little too low, and its ease of use development is also relatively low, which seems to be the product of the last century, It's hard to find the kind of surprise brought by smart machines from its system.

·As a projector

As a mobile phone, M1 only got a passing score, but as a projector, a mobile phone projection two in one product, M1's performance was far beyond my imagination. The brightness of the LED bulb of the M1 projection module has reached 180 lumens, and it has the best delivery effect within the distance of 0.5~1.5 meters.

M1 projection does not need a screen, as long as it is a clean plane, it can be used as a projection surface. In addition to clicking the projection icon in the screen to switch the projection mode, long press the projection key on the right side of the phone in any interface to turn on the projector. I often project videos on the wall and ceiling of my home (lying down to watch). The effect of the large screen is really great. The main thing is convenient - you can turn off the projection with one button, which is much easier than watching TV or large projectors.

The maximum projection size of M1 is 80 inches (more than 2 meters away), the standard screen proportion is 16:9, and the sharpness of the projection picture is very high, which is very surprising to me. You can hardly imagine such a small projection module can have such high-quality output, especially when watching high-definition movies. It seems that Koko Zhuo is really not an ordinary role in the field of micro projection. The M1 speaker has a loud external sound. You can also wear headphones to enjoy it. It is more suitable for indoor use. If you use it outdoors, you'd better equip an external speaker.

M1's projection function can give the best performance in dark environments. It is not only clear, but also has high color reproduction, which is equivalent to a small cinema. In the daytime or in the lighting environment, the brightness of the projection will be reduced and the definition will remain unchanged, but the appearance effect is not as good as in the dark light. Therefore, it is better to use in the dark light environment in the daytime. The darker the light, the better the effect, which is also a common feature of all projector products.

As the four gilded characters on the Kojo M1 packaging box say, it is a "portable cinema", and it is undoubtedly the best choice to watch videos with it. I downloaded a lot of audio and video apps, and turned off the lights in my room to watch NBA, Premier League and many movies. It should be noted that since the projection of M1 is straight, if the projection angle is skewed, the projection picture will be deformed. Therefore, the projection angle needs to be adjusted. It is better to have a tripod.

In addition to the entertainment demand of video projection, Kezhuo M1 also has business attributes and can be used as portable office supplies. When it is temporarily necessary to project pictures or demonstrate PPT during work, M1 comes in handy. However, if the content on the computer can be projected through M1 (which can be achieved through third-party APP), it may be easier to use.

· summary

The product model of projector+mobile phone has taken shape many years ago, but due to the size of the projection module, it is difficult to make a truly usable projection mobile phone. Now the projection module has realized miniaturization, and the projection mobile phone has become a reality. Kekezhuo M1 model meets the curiosity of many consumers who pursue personalization, and to a large extent, it maximizes the functions of portable projectors, meets the large screen entertainment and business needs of consumers' mobile portability, which can be said to turn dreams into reality.

But beyond the reality, we should also see that there are still many areas for improvement in the Kekezhuo M1. The body size can be thinner, the materials can be more high-end, and the system can be more avant-garde Anyway, Kekezhuo, the first developer of mobile phone products, has given a satisfactory answer and looks forward to its next generation of projection products.
