High endurance photography "weapon" - ASUS Eagle Eye 3 experience
High endurance photography "weapon" - ASUS Eagle Eye 3 experience

"Asus quality is as strong as a rock" Every time we talk about Asus, we always think of this slogan. As a famous computer brand, the quality of Asus has penetrated into people's hearts. In recent years, with the booming development of the mobile phone industry, ASUS has also joined in. As a hardware company, the mobile phones that have been released successively demonstrate its strong strength, such as the world's first ZenFone2 with 4G memory, the industry leading optical zoom phone ZenFone Zoom Hawkeye, and the ZenFon3 series with a number of innovative technologies. This year, ASUS released a new flagship camera, Eagle Eye 3. How about this phone? Let's take a look at my experience!

First of all, thank you very much Love to play computer games From the perspective of packaging, ASUS has changed its previous personalized packaging design to adopt the mainstream simple design. The black rectangular box, with the product characters in the middle, looks low-key and grand. Although there is little innovation, this design is absolutely perfect.

 

Open the package, there are a lot of accessories inside. In addition to Eagle Eye 3, there are instructions, pins, headphones, power adapters and data cables. It is worth mentioning that this time, a mobile phone case was delivered, which is very considerate.

 

To be honest, ASUS has always given me the impression that it has a strong personality and will not compromise. This time, Hawkeye 3 has obviously made a compromise on the market. It is undeniable that Hawkeye 3 is really beautiful, but it makes me feel very non ASUS. It cancels the classic concentric circle design, which is really strange.

 

ASUS Eagle Eye 3 is equipped with a 5.5 inch screen with a resolution of 1080P and a maximum brightness of 500nits. The ultra narrow frame design allows the screen to account for 76.5% of the total. The screen has a high color gamut of more than 100% NTSC and is extremely beautiful. Combined with the popular 2.5D glass design, it brings a very good visual effect. However, from the perspective of appearance, the screen of Eagle Eye 3 seems to be very fragile, and it feels like it will break if you drop it. In fact, it is not. Eagle Eye 3 has selected the fifth generation Corning gorilla glass, and its anti drop ability has been significantly improved.

 

Compared with the previous generation, the eagle eye 3 does not use a leather back cover, but uses an all metal integrated body design. Although the style is slightly different, metal brings a good feel and texture, which is also a good choice. As for the white belt (antenna), which is the most notorious of the metal body, Hawk Eye 3 has also made an appropriate solution. The hair thin color matching antenna seems to have no sense of incongruity.

 

 

The author is a photography enthusiast and knows that the power consumption of mobile phone photography is no less than that of playing games. Especially in summer, the speed of power-off is no faster. Eagle Eye 3 obviously takes this into consideration. It has a 5000mAh large capacity battery, which can fully meet the needs of taking photos all day long. At the same time, it also supports reverse charging and acts as a power bank. Then, the problem comes again, such a large battery phone should be very thick, right? The author made a preliminary comparison and found that the body thickness of Eagle Eye 3 is only 7.99mm. Although it is not super thin, it is relatively thin. It feels good to hold it in the hand, and it is not too heavy.

 

As a flagship mobile phone focusing on taking pictures, Hawkeye 3 does not choose the top processor, but uses the Qualcomm 625 processor with lower energy consumption. Because in the field of mobile phones with serious excess performance, the processor that can be used selectively and saves enough power is absolutely the best choice. In combination with the 4G+128G super large storage combination, it is not only fast, but also possible to store massive photos.

 

 

Now let's take a look at the details. The front upper part of Eagle Eye 3 is designed with sensors, earphones and a SONY IMX214 camera with 13 million pixels. The aperture is F2.0. In combination with the SuperPixel technology independently developed by ASUS, it can bring higher sensitivity, and can also take high-quality self photos in low light environment.

The lower part of the front face of ASUS mobile phones has always been designed with concentric circle elements, and the change of Eagle Eye 3 really made me not adapt to it. Although it looks much better, will consumers pay for inheritance or innovation? I can only say that different people have different views.

 

Hawkeye 3 does not use symmetrical speaker design, but uses a more practical compact design. Speakers, charging ports and 3.5MM headphone ports are all gathered here. As for the charging port, it is equipped with a Type-C interface. Although the current popularity is not high, faster and more stable output is definitely the trend of the future, and the traditional micro USB is also destined to exit the stage of history.

 

The right side of the middle frame of the fuselage is designed with a power key and a volume key. This design is not only convenient for users' operation habits, but also more convenient for single hand operation when using it with one hand.

 

I remember when Eagle Eye 2 was just released, the 3x optical zoom technology really shocked the whole mobile phone circle. After all, there was no dual camera, Leica or the like in those days, and zoom has always been the root of the gap between mobile phones and SLR cameras. This time, Hawkeye 3 not only continues the optical zoom technology, but also adds a dual camera design based on it. The dual 12 megapixel camera, a SONY MIX362 camera with a F1.7 aperture, is responsible for daily imaging, and the other is a telephoto lens, which supports up to 2.3 times the optical zoom. At the same time, it also supports the double escort of optical anti shake+electronic anti shake, and is no longer afraid of handshaking.

 

 

A back fingerprint unlocking module is designed under the camera. After actual measurement, the fingerprint recognition speed is fast and the accuracy is high. Even the edge of the fingerprint can be unlocked.

 

In terms of network support, Eagle Eye 3 supports dual card dual standby 4G full netcom network, which can achieve a maximum download speed of 300M. In addition, the latest 802.11b/g/n technology is used to make WIFI online stable and fast.

 

As for the operating system, ASUS Eagle Eye 3 is equipped with the Android 6.0 based painless 3.1 system, which is still familiar. The UI style is a bit business oriented, and the overall content is very rich. All the functions are available, which can basically meet the needs of all kinds of users. However, because of this, some applications will not be opened once, resulting in a waste of resources.

 

The operation mode of the easy 3.1 is basically the same as that of the native Android system, with low learning cost and easy to use.

 

In addition, there are many practical and easy to use functions, such as application separation, fingerprint answering/photographing/payment, intelligent touch gestures, etc., which are very user-friendly,

 

In terms of performance test, the author thinks that it is better to play pesticides to drive black than to score points. After all, 3D large-scale games can most intuitively verify the performance of mobile phones. After several rounds, it is very smooth. Group warfare does not get stuck. As long as you are skilled, five kills are not a dream! In addition, the author also tested some commonly used APPs, such as WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao, and so on. They basically stopped talking, and even frequent refreshes were smooth.

 

From the previous content, we have seen the strength of the Eagle Eye 3 dual camera, so what is the actual shooting effect? Come and see the proof!

   

For mobile phone photographing, if the hardware can't keep up with the software, the best quality of the camera can't be brought into play, so the combination of hardware and software is the root of mobile phone photographing. The camera application of Eagle Eye 3, in addition to the basic photographing function, also provides such functions as depth of field, manual HDR、 Ultra clear picture quality, children, slow motion, delay and other rich photography modes, and RAW format are also supported. It is highly playable and professional. Whether you are Xiaobai or a master, it can help you shoot good films.

 

 

First of all, let's take a look at the imaging effect of Eagle Eye 3 dual cameras. Generally, the depth of field effect is not obvious when taking macro photos with mobile phones. With the help of dual cameras and telephotos, ordinary macro photos can show the illusion effect like SLR, and even give people a sense of SLR camera shooting. However, there are also shortcomings, such as looking at photos carefully, You will find that the transition between the front and rear scenes is somewhat stiff.

 

Shutter: 1/209 Aperture: F/1.7 Focus: 4mm Sensitivity: 50

 

Shutter: 1/523 Aperture: F/1.7 Focus: 4mm Sensitivity: 50

 

Shutter: 1/197 Aperture: F/1.7 Focus: 4mm Sensitivity: 50

 

Shutter: 1/396 Aperture: F/1.7 Focus: 4mm Sensitivity: 50

Eagle Eye 3 also has an ultra clear image quality mode. The photos taken in this mode are very fine, and the details are still very sharp even after being magnified several times. However, because it is composed of multiple images, the shooting time will be a little longer, usually 2-3 seconds!

 

Shutter: 1/100 Aperture: F/2.6 Focus: 6mm Sensitivity: 83

Backlighting is difficult to shoot. Generally, dark details cannot be photographed. The author took a picture with the HDR mode of Eagle Eye 3, and finally the film was full of color, with light and dark details basically displayed.

 

Shutter: 1/5200 Aperture: F/1.7 Focus: 4mm Sensitivity: 50

Finally, let's talk about the endurance. 5000mAh is really big enough for mobile phones, and it has been confirmed in actual use. The author specially tested the use of the day, went out at 8:00 in the morning, chatting, microblogging, listening to music for 2 hours, played an hour of games, watched two TV dramas, and took hundreds of photos, Finally, when I got home at night, I still had 40% of the electricity left, which was quite satisfactory.

 

 

In general, after more than a year of waiting, Hawk Eye 3 really gave me a lot of surprises. Its appearance has changed dramatically, which can be regarded as an absolute high beauty. In addition, the better dual 12 million cameras, more professional shooting system, and the strong endurance of 5000mAh have all made a qualitative leap in the shooting experience of Hawk Eye 3, as can be seen from the sample. If you love mobile photography, Eagle Eye 3 may be your dish.
