Nubia held a press conference on March 22, officially bringing a new thousand yuan model Nubia V18. As the most independent Nubia in the era of full screen, this time Nubia V18 is very "stable". The conventional combination of 18:9 full screen+Snapdragon 625 is adopted. Large memory, large battery, etc. are quite a few Love to play computer games It is also the first time to get the machine for hands-on experience.
Appearance of industry practices
The main white color commonly seen in Nubia is used on the outer package, and the Nubia logo in the middle is bright red, which maintains the family tradition and is no different from the packaging of other models in Nubia.
The lining is still Nubian brand red, and the label at the bottom has the detailed parameters of Nubian V18. We got the 4G+64G version, and the main color of the body is obsidian black.
This time, the Nubian V18 does not use the previous frameless design, but the common 18:9 full screen, so the front impact is not as strong as the previous Nubian Z series. The upper and lower parts are not completely symmetrical, and the chin is slightly longer than the forehead. The screen size is 6.01 inches, with FHD+(2160x1080) resolution, and the supplier is JDI.
According to the official introduction, the Nubia V18 uses 3D laser carved smooth curves on the back. The round design makes it feel good to hold. The logo in the middle is a metal character. The overall shape is a common element except the red circle of the camera.
For camera part, the main camera of Nubia V18 is 13 million, aperture is F2.2, unit pixel area reaches 1.12um, and supports PDAF phase focusing.
The conventional power key and volume key are on the right side of the fuselage, and an additional key is added on the left side in addition to the SIM card slot, which is used to start the "Maverick Voice" added in Nubia V18.
The 3.5mm headphone jack that has been canceled for most smart phones is still configured on the top, and the speaker, microUSB interface and microphone are arranged on the bottom. By the way, the power of the original charger is 5V/2A.
Unsurprising performance
The SoC of Nubia V18 is a familiar Snapdragon 625 and eight core A53 design, with a maximum frequency of 2.0GHz. It is an excellent processor in power consumption design. The actual score was no accident. For the CPU part, the single core score was 895, the multi-core score was 4378, and the GPU score was 3306. For the positioning of Nubia V18, it is normal to match with Snapdragon 625. It is obvious that Nubia pays more attention to cost and power consumption. The storage combination of 4G RAM+64G ROM is enough for general use, and it is not embarrassing to compare with competitors' products.
Improved nubia UI 5.1
Compared with the hardware part, the Nubia V18 has a bigger surprise in the software part. The Nubia UI 5.1 is modified based on Android 7.1.2, and the security patch has been updated to February. The interface has not changed much. It is basically adapted to the 18:9 screen. The negative screen is still the Nubian brand camera family.
The big change is the original Nubian edge gesture. Although it is still standard, it is no longer enabled by default. At the same time, for the longer screen, slide up to call up the search bar, and slide in the edge to add a FIT Card, which Nubia officially calls "Counter World". Reorder common functions or new messages, and slide out with one hand to quickly browse and operate. These changes are more interesting than the hardware part.
The "Maverick Voice" specially added to the Nubia V18 can be seen as a function similar to Samsung's Bixby. Use the newly added voice keys to input voice, and then let the machine perform corresponding operations. In terms of simple experience, the recognition rate and speed are both good, and the functions are naturally not perfect, so we can only wait for Nubia to continue to improve in the later period. Another major update is face recognition unlocking, which is basically the standard configuration of domestic brands at present. It is also natural for Nubia V18 to follow up.
Feature rich photography
In terms of the photographing function that Nubia pays attention to, the V18 has not been castrated because it is not a high-end machine. Whether it is the photographing interface or various functions, the V18 is consistent with the high-end models in the family, so the Nubia V18 camera has good playability and functionality. After inquiry, CMOS learned that the hi846 provided for Hynix is a relatively rare sensor in the market. Due to time constraints, it was not possible to thoroughly and completely experience all the functions of Nubia V18 photography, so some samples were provided for your reference.
Satisfactory battery performance
The V18 in Nubia is equipped with a large 4000mAh battery, and the system is blessed with NeoPower3.0 endurance criteria. Considering the previous performance of Snapdragon 625, I believe that the endurance performance of V18 should be reassuring. After a simple test, manually set the maximum brightness and watch the video for one hour, the total power consumption is 9%; Switch back to the 100 nits we tested, and watch the video for one hour, and the power consumption is 3%. The endurance performance is satisfactory.
tail
From the configuration and price of Nubia V18, it is obviously a low-end product under the positioning line. The performance part uses Snapdragon 625+4G memory, which has achieved a balance between cost and power consumption, and is sufficient for general consumers; On other hardware, such as the 18:9 full screen and 4000mAh large battery, efforts have been made to ensure the user experience. As the title says, its design concept is just enough.
