After a period of development, the curved screen has been applied to more and more high-end mobile phones. In addition to the hyperbolic screen, the mobile phone introduced today has six "curved surfaces" on the body.
Glory Magic is a mobile phone that Glory released on December 16. It is called from the future. The mobile phone focuses on artificial intelligence and various perception operations. However, in terms of appearance, Glory Magic is also very distinctive. It uses 3D glass that is symmetrical in front and back, and the upper and lower edges of the phone are curved, which seems to have a strong visual impact. The phone has only one configuration, which uses 2K level curved screen, Kirin 950 processor, 4G memory and 64G storage space.
Appearance and packaging
The packaging of Glory Magic looks low-key, but the things in the packaging are not fuel efficient lights. The first layer of the packaging is the mobile phone. The second layer is related accessories, which are placed in left and right parts.
The accessories are not very rich, but they are all available. Of course, the standard two-piece data cable and power adapter are indispensable. In addition, a frosted protective case is also included.
When it comes to the data cable and power adapter of Glory Magic, it is definitely a great source. The power adapter is made by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., which uses the new Magic Power fast charging technology. It uses low-voltage charging, 5V 8A and 40W power at most. When such power is put on the market, other fast charging mobile phones can be regarded as "slow charging"
The wires are also full of materials, with the logo of Huawei MagicPower on it. This is a rare data line that can pass 8A high current. On Huawei Mate 9, we have seen a data line that can pass 5A current.
The front panel of Glory Magic is black, without any brand logo, and the front entity Home key（ With fingerprint identification, but the unlocking speed is not very fast ）。 The screen is a 5.09 inch, 2560 * 1440 AMOLED screen with a PPI of up to 577, which is at the same level as the Galaxy S7 in terms of fineness.
Due to the need to cooperate with the functions such as the perception on/off screen, face recognition, etc., multiple sensors, infrared LEDs and cameras are required. However, Glory uses a new UV spraying process, so that these openings are hidden, and only a slight view of the infrared LED lights on the left side of the earpiece can be seen. Of course, the camera with 8 million pixels in front on the right side is relatively obvious, The camera is perforated.
From the side, the curved surface of the front panel is very obvious, and the edge of the whole glass has radians.
The front entity Home key is equipped with press type fingerprint identification. In addition, Glory Magic uses the sliding Home key instead of the return key of ordinary mobile phones. You may need to adapt to it at first. This key is endowed with many functions. Pressing the Home key, double clicking is multi task management, and sliding to the right is back.
The back cover is also a piece of 3D glass, and the radian is completely symmetrical with the front panel. This design is also rare.
The camera part adopts the current popular dual camera configuration, a dual 12 megapixel rear camera, the main camera is Sony's IMX286, and there is also a dual color temperature LED fill light in line with the camera center point.
The top of the fuselage is very simple, with only one noise reducing microphone.
The keys are concentrated on the right side of the body, and the volume key is two independent keys. The power key and volume key are separated by a certain distance, which has a certain degree of recognition.
The width of the left and right sides of Glory Magic and the top frame is exactly the same. The transition is very natural. There are four antenna partition strips on the left and right sides of the body.
Due to the complex structure of the bottom of the body, the width is significantly larger than the other three edges. The bottom edge of the frame adopts a flat design, so that the phone can be placed vertically.
The 3.5mm headphone interface, card slot, USB Type-C interface and speakers are densely placed at the bottom. Compared with ordinary mobile phones, the structure here is much more complex.
The card tray looks very small, supports double cards, double standby, two nanoSIMs, and uses a very special stacked design. In addition, there are rubber rings at the edge of the card holder, which can play a certain role in waterproof and dustproof.
Touch of octahedron
In order to be cool, you must not wear a jacket. This sentence is just used in Glory Magic. No matter what posture you hold it, you can feel the comfort of the curved glass. At the same time, the touch of the metal middle frame is also good. However, there will be a little hand pressing when using it with one hand, but this has no effect.
The whole phone has only four buttons, namely, the power button, the volume up and down button and the Home button. The workmanship of these buttons is superior. The key range and press feedback will bring a high-end feeling, in line with this price level. The only small disadvantage may be that the shape of the power button is the same as that of the volume button, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish. It is suggested to make some textures to be easy to distinguish, There is nothing else to say about the feel, just the performance of the flagship.
Magic Live
Magic is equipped with the Magic Live system based on Android 6.0. At first glance, you will find that this is not Huawei's previous EMUI. Yes, this somewhat conceptual mobile phone runs a new system（ Although it is still Android ）No matter the UI interface or various functions, there is no familiar Huawei flavor. The official interpretation of it is: systems with artificial intelligence that can read you.
（ Main interface, control center and multi task interface ）
（ Dial, Settings, and Notification Center ）
First of all, from the perspective of UI, the native App icons have been redrawn, which has to be said to be much more exquisite and beautiful, but there is also a trace of imitating iOS, such as the control center, multi task interface, top bar style, and so on. In addition, in terms of function and operation logic, Magic Live has basically no connection with the traditional Android system. It has cancelled a series of familiar Android functions such as shortcut buttons in the notice bar, secondary menus, desktop plug-ins, etc. Old Android users may be busy and confused when they first get started.
Apart from these external changes, in fact, intelligence is the highlight of Magic Live. The first thing that can benefit users is the smart notification privacy mode. This feature is deeply hidden. It can be opened in Settings - Notification - Lock Screen Notification. For the first time, you need to enter a face（ Of course, it's the user's own face ）After the entry is completed, when the phone is in the lock screen status, if a new message comes in, the details will not be displayed（ For example, some sensitive information, such as others' debt collection, ex girlfriend's request for reconciliation, etc ）Only, yes, the details of the notification message will be displayed only when the Glory Magic front camera detects the face you entered previously. After a period of use, the author found that this function is very, very practical and has helped me avoid embarrassing situations several times.
In addition, the whole system is also full of various "small surprises". For example, when you are chatting with your girlfriend on WeChat, she sends a message "I want to see Extreme Agent". In about a second, the four words "Extreme Agent" will generate a hyperlink. After clicking it, you can check the scheduling, evaluation and seat selection of the film, The whole process of seat selection and ticket purchase can be completed without opening Meituan Volkswagen App alone, which is extremely convenient. Moreover, the system can also capture various keywords. If a bus stop appears during chat（ Platform, non location ）It can also generate hyperlinks, and then view, navigate or taxi on the map, which is highly humanized and intelligent.
Long press the Home key on any page to activate Deep Think, which is similar to Google Now On Tap. Unlike the latter, Deep Think only captures keywords on the current screen（ Picture not supported ）, and then give users a search result. The types of keywords that can be captured include movies, stars, music, etc., but after testing, its practicality is not high.
Screen and performance
Glory Magic is equipped with a 5.09 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a ppi of 577, which is very fine. It inherits the traditional characteristics of OLED, with very bright colors and good first impression. However, different people have different opinions. Some people like it and others hate it. Radish and vegetables have their own preferences.
However, the reflectivity of the screen is slightly higher, and the content displayed in the face of light seems a bit difficult. After testing, the highest brightness of Glory Magic is 360.69 nits, covering 134.1% of the color gamut. The color temperature in the default mode is 7448K, the average deltaE is 5.4, and the maximum deltaE is 11. The performance in terms of color accuracy is relatively unsatisfactory.
This machine from the future is not equipped with a processor from the future. It uses its own Kirin 950 eight core processor（ 4 x Cortex-A72 + 4 x Cortex-A53 ）, maximum dominant frequency 2.3GHz, The GPU is Mali-T880MP4, which is equipped with 4GB memory and 64GB storage space. The processor model is slightly older, which is enough, but the user certainly hopes that the newer the better. However, in daily use, there are not too many problems. Generally speaking, it is very smooth. Occasionally, applications are forced to be closed, but I believe that it is not due to insufficient memory. There is no need to worry about large games and apps. They run very smoothly, and there is no frame drop. So the only complaint I have may be that Magic does not carry the latest Kirin 960 processor.
Super charging and endurance
It can be seen that the power consumption of the game is relatively high, and it has no advantage over competitors at the same level. It is most likely due to its small battery capacity and high resolution 2K screen.
Compared with ordinary endurance, the "invincible" charging is the specialty of Glory Magic. The measured maximum power can exceed 39W, which can be said to be the fastest fast charging I have ever seen. It is almost fast enough to reach a level where there is no need to test. Even if the power of Magic is only 0% when I get up in the morning, I just need to plug in the power supply and charge it to 41% in just 15 minutes after brushing my teeth and washing my face, There is no doubt that it is the fastest charging on the market. Yes, there is no one.
summary
It can be said that Glory Magic is a very "interesting" Android phone. In the era of dazzling flagship, it can still stand out by its unique appearance design and highly innovative UI system. From the whole experience, we can feel that Magic has some ideas in all aspects, although the UI interface has no shadow of Android, It even draws on many elements of Apple iOS, but in terms of functionality, Glory Magic is very unique, and it is in a leading position among products of the same level.
Eight screen, dual camera 2K OLED and so on are all bonus items of Magic. Although the Kirin 950 processor is not very strong for today's performance level, it is actually enough to meet daily use, and even has a sense of coming from the future. If this appearance design and system experience can be downloaded to all family phones in the future, it will be more perfect. Of course, It also needs to be easy to buy.
