Shortly after the release of V18, Nubia was in Beijing again Released Z18mini This mobile phone is the last dish before the arrival of the flagship Red Devil game mobile phone.

Appearance, beautiful except for black

Nubia Z18mini adopts the appearance design of glass back shell+metal middle frame, and we have the black version（ The real machine diagram will be released in the detailed evaluation ）The appearance is relatively flat, but the pink color and the special version of Charming Purple that I saw on the scene are very beautiful. The color matching is very young and lively, which is the best new product I have seen recently. Although there is no significant change in the appearance design, I chose the right color matching, which also added a lot of points to the appearance.

Other parts of the appearance are Nubian Style, rear dual camera, rear fingerprint, Type-C interface, and the continuation of the exclusive "Maverick Voice" button on V18. Press it to activate an AI voice assistant similar to Bixby, but unfortunately, this button cannot be changed into other functions, just like Samsung（ ~ ）。

With glass and metal, there is no need to worry about the hand feel. The size of the Z18mini is just right, and there is no uncomfortable feeling in the hand. Anyway, in terms of appearance, as long as you don't choose black, I believe that other colors can surprise you.

Z18mini is equipped with a 5.7 inch display screen with a screen ratio of 18:9, which is also referred to as "full screen" nowadays. IPS material, with a resolution of 2160 x 1080, is just the right size, and looks good to the naked eye. It does not have obvious graininess like A screen. As for the performance of objective data, please wait Love to play computer games Follow up detailed evaluation.

Performance, just right

No accident. The Nubia Z18mini is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 eight core SoC, and is equipped with 6GB of memory as standard. The 660 has also been on the market for a long time, and its quality has also been recognized by manufacturers and users. Although its performance is not at the top level, it is used to daily use and playing games, which can be said to be a familiar way.

So in terms of running points（ The configuration we got is 6GB memory+64GB storage ）The performance of Z18mini is almost the same as that of most Snapdragon 660 machines, and Nubia also said at the press conference that, with its own deeply optimized system, it is faster than other competitors in opening some apps, but the actual performance will have to wait until we further carry out relevant tests.

system

Nubia Z18mini runs nubia UI 5.1.2 based on Android 8.1 from the factory. The system is very new. Compared with some manufacturers who continue to polish Android 7.1, it is commendable. In terms of basic functions, there is no need to worry too much. Domestic ROMs have done quite well in some grounding functions. I believe that users can find the functions they need.

Like V18 not long ago, Z18mini is equipped with a dedicated "Maverick Voice" button, which can play a great role in social software such as WeChat and QQ. For example, in the chat interface of WeChat, you can start voice chat by long pressing the button, and you can complete this operation without pressing the screen, which is more intuitive.

Or you can use Maverick's voice to convert your words into text and send them to your friends. The actual conversion success rate is quite high, which saves a lot of time. When users are inconvenient or lazy to type, Maverick's voice can be used. Unfortunately, like Samsung's exclusive Bixby button, the Maverick voice button on the Z18mini cannot be programmed to other functions... It's a pity~

In addition to these social software, Maverick Voice is also equivalent to an AI intelligent assistant, which can be used to create new notes, directly open apps and other functions.

Nubia Z18mini is equipped with 24 million+5 million pixel dual camera, f/1.7 aperture; The front end is 8 million pixels, f/2.0 aperture. In terms of shooting function, Z18mini provides various interesting functions for users to choose, such as portrait mode, clone camera, electronic aperture, etc.

Look at a group of samples:

The 24 million pixel main shot has a strong analytical power. The daytime sample shows a good performance, and the tolerance and white balance are satisfactory. However, the saturation of the sample is a little too high, and the color feeling overflows. Although pleasing, it is not realistic. Due to limited time, it is not possible to take night samples, but the Z18mini is not equipped with OIS optical anti shake, so the effect may be unsatisfactory.

Final

It can be said that the overall quality of the Nubia Z18mini machine is very good, with beautiful appearance design（ Except for black ）, OK performance, good shooting ability, etc., combined with the price, 1799 yuan（ 6GB + 64GB ）The starting price of the hammer nut Pro 2 is not as good as the Z18mini. If you like the Snapdragon 660 machine, it is a good choice.

There are two versions of Z18mini going up: 6GB+128GB, which costs 2099 yuan, and Provence Brilliant Purple, which are both 6GB+128GB, but the price is 100 yuan more, which is 2199 yuan. In general, the price is OK, but the Snapdragon 660 has also been launched for a long time. If you choose it at this time node, you may not enjoy it for long before it is covered by the halo of the newly launched SoC.
