With the rapid development of science and technology, some technologies that once appeared in science fiction films have rapidly integrated into our lives in the past two or three years, and the full screen mobile phone is one of them. After one or two years of development, the full screen finally broke out in 2018. Smartphone manufacturers at home and abroad also coincidentally chose the "heterogeneous full screen", which is commonly known as "Liu Haiping". The proportion of smart phone screens has thus reached an unprecedented era.

As time goes by, in the memory of many users, the representative brands of Nokia, Blackberry and other physical keyboards have just left. It is only a few years since the rise of touch screen phones, their popularity, and their dominance in the smartphone industry. From science fiction to science and technology, the development of modern science and technology has rapidly changed everyone's life. The once unreachable smart life has now gradually entered thousands of households, and a small smart phone has supported all this.

Like other mobile phone manufacturers, Glory also joined Liu Haiping in 2018, and introduced Liu Haiping into the 1000 yuan model at one go. Glory 9i is the stepping stone for Glory to challenge the proportion of 1000 yuan machine screens. Now let's take a look at what is the specialty of Glory 9i.

Appearance and ID design

Different from some thousand yuan computers that focus on performance at the expense of appearance, Glory 9i has made great efforts in appearance. First of all, it is the face of a smart phone - the display screen. Glory 9i is equipped with a 5.84-inch LTPS LCD special-shaped screen with a display ratio of 19:9, resolution of 2280 * 1080, and pixel density of 432PPI. Although Liu Haiping is common in flagship models, it is still rare in thousand yuan machines. The representative red rice and magic blue of thousand yuan machines are still 18:9 "regular full screen", slightly inferior to Liu Haiping in absolute display area.

There is a certain black edge on the forehead, but it is relatively narrow compared with the general full screen. The layout of components in the bangs is very compact. Round earphones, integrated sensors, and 16 million pixel front camera are arranged in sequence. The front beauty selfie is also one of the most important selling points of this Glory 9i. Nowadays, smart phones are not only a competition of performance, appearance and cost performance, but also very important for personalized needs. Therefore, there are many exclusive models focusing on a single field and taking the edge. Beauty selfie is one of the categories. After all, everyone loves beauty. My sister wants to take some beautiful selfies. Who doesn't love it.

Similar to other Liu Haiping Android models, the Glory 9i also retains a certain bottom border. Its width is similar to that of ordinary full screen models, but it still maintains a relatively high proportion of screens.

The design of the back of the fuselage is very simple and capable. The rear dual camera, fingerprint identification and glorious logo are nothing else. For mobile phones, sometimes the simple design is a kind of beauty, and the Bauhaus style extremely long resume.

If performance is the priority of other brands' thousand yuan level, glory goes another way - beauty is king. Although positioning is always a thousand yuan machine, the Glory 9i is unambiguous in texture, and the double-sided glass is a little better in texture than the metal sandblasting which has been aesthetically tired.

In order to achieve a more outstanding appearance, the back glass of Glory 9i is treated with a 12 layer coating process, which will show different gloss under different angles of light, shiny and coquettish, and have some smooth visual experience.

The camera adopts a 13 million pixel+2 million pixel dual rear camera, of which the 1300 main camera is responsible for taking the view, and the 2 million pixel sub camera is responsible for depth of field monitoring and visualization. The dual camera also enables it to have a large aperture mode, which is often referred to as the portrait mode. Users who like to shoot flowers, plants and virtual portraits can show their strength.

In terms of hand feel, the edge transition of 2.5D glass on the back is relatively smooth, which fits the radian of the palm. In addition, the smaller body size makes it feel good to hold. The workmanship is also relatively solid, and the combination of fingerprint identification and glass opening is perfectly matched.

In addition to the dazzling glass back cover, the frame of Glory 9i is also worth mentioning. There is no breakpoint metal frame, and the surface is coated with matte feel. The frame has rich layers. In addition to the polishing decoration on the edge combined with the screen/back glass, there are two polishing strips near the center of the frame. The hand feel is also different on both sides of the two polishing strips. The whole frame is in a stepped transition.

In terms of details, the layout design of the buttons is relatively conventional, continuing the customary distribution of the Glory series. The power button and volume button are all located on the right side of the fuselage, and the buttons are relatively tight, without any virtual position or shaking. The size of the machine body is relatively small, and the girls' hands can also press these buttons relatively easily.

The left side frame of the fuselage is simple, with only the SIM card slot. The treatment of the frame and the front and rear glass panels is slightly different from that of Glory in the past. There is no plastic washer to fix the glass panel, which may be due to the improvement of the panel installation process.

Only noise reduction microphone openings are reserved on the top of the fuselage. The connectors are concentrated at the bottom, and from left to right are 3.5mm headphone connector, call microphone, Micro USB connector and speaker opening. In the past year or two, the abolition of headphone holes seems to have become a "trend", but in the short term, Bluetooth headsets are far from replacing wired headsets, and 3.5mm headsets are still the main force.

Although Liu Haiping has become the standard configuration in 2018, and domestic mainstream manufacturers have gradually popularized such screens, many users still do not accept this "irregular design". However, it is undeniable that Liu Haiping has greatly improved the screen share of most smartphones, which is actually a positive impact on users.

Durable screen

Speaking of the thousand yuan machine, especially the screen of the thousand yuan machine, everyone's impression of them is usually good enough, and they can't ask too much, but Glory 9i has given us a certain surprise in this regard.

Different from the AMOLED Liu Haiping equipped as standard by other manufacturers, the 5.84-inch LTPS LCD special-shaped screen carried by Glory 9i has a resolution of 2280 * 1080, which is also one of the few models that uses LCD Liu Haiping at present. The fineness and stroboscopic are relatively stable. Don't worry about the blinding screen hurting the eyes of the goddess.

In terms of objective quality, the average DeltaE is about 4, and the color accuracy performance is average, but other tests performed well. The default color temperature is slightly cold, but three gear adjustment is provided; The maximum brightness is about 480 nits; The color gamut performance is even more surprising. The sRGB color gamut is 99.9% (the part beyond 100% will not be displayed), and the DCI-P3 color gamut has also reached 98.2%, which is one of the few thousand yuan machines with P3 color gamut coverage.

Humanized system

Easy to use mobile phones, of course, must have a user-friendly operating system. Glory 9i is equipped with the EMUI 8.0 system, which is based on Android 8.0 in-depth customization, and is deeply branded by Huawei. In terms of system interface and UI design, it is also consistent with other Huawei models, such as the drawer free tiled desktop and the intelligent assistant with a negative page, which inherit the localized and humanized service experience of EMUI.

As a very mature and stable system, EMUI will certainly take care of "obsessive-compulsive" users. For example, for the fringe display area that some people like and others think is abrupt, EMUI 8.0 provides the function of hiding Notch globally. When it is enabled, the global display ratio will be changed from 19:9 to 18:9, and the hidden area will only display information such as notification icons. Although the LCD screen is not as pure black as OLED in the pure black state, it also saves the trouble of burning the screen. Why not.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Glory 9i is one of the earliest models equipped with "very scary technology". The so-called "very scary technology" is GPU Turbo technology, which is a graphics processing acceleration technology of software and hardware cooperation. The official said that the graphics processing efficiency of the machine could be improved by 60% in theory. The Glory 9 Youth Edition launched in the army The real frame rate through the line of fire and King's Glory also increased by more than 35%. Glory 9i is the first model supported by GPU Turbo, which will be officially updated by GPU Turbo on July 30.

Beauty selfie&fun AR

At this point, I have to mention that the main feature of the Glory 9i is to buy some dim light self portraits, which is also the most different from other thousand yuan machines. In the past two years, major mobile phone manufacturers have realized the truth of winning the middle and low-end market. Therefore, the competition in the thousand yuan mobile phone market has become increasingly fierce. Restricted by the cost and supply chain, the thousand yuan mobile phone models of various brands have become increasingly homogeneous. However, some brands still hope to break out of this red sea through some unique selling points. Glory 9i is one of them.

Glory 9i is equipped with a 16 million pixel front camera, which will trigger the four pixel integration technology in dark light, both using 2.0 μ As a unit of photosensitive area, m has larger light flux and clearer details. 3D three-dimensional beauty, customized beauty, and different optimization according to different faces of each person. Who doesn't love such beauty? After all, for a little sister, what is more important about a mobile phone than taking a selfie? Selfie is justice, selfie is king! Skin grinding, freckle removal, whitening, big eyes, thin face, one can not be less!

In addition to the customized beauty function, Glory 9i also added Fun AR to the original camera, with dozens of cute texture expressions, as well as many cute and popular cartoon background templates. The selfie is no longer monotonous, and you can be cute if you want to be cute. The cold queen also has a girl's heart! That girl will not like this Kawaii style~

Although the main feature of this machine is the front dim light self timer, the rear camera still performs fairly well, and the saturation and sharpening effect reach the average level of the same price models. The overall appearance of the night scene is not bad in the thousand yuan machine, especially the improvement of HDR mode on the picture brightness is obvious. After HDR is turned on, the brightness of the image has been improved to a higher level. In the automatic mode, the details of the dark part that cannot be seen are shown in the HDR proof, which is exactly the effect that HDR should have.

In addition, it can also provide a large aperture virtualization effect with the double shot blessing. Although the subphoto is only 2 million pixels, the subphoto is mainly responsible for the detection of depth of field, and the main camera is still responsible for the shooting. Glory 9i also provides the function of adjusting the focus after shooting and changing the weight of the virtualization effect, which is convenient for users to adjust later.

Fast face recognition

In addition to the exquisite figure and lovely face, the Glory 9i also has a function that other thousand yuan machines admire - face recognition. Although the concept of face recognition is not very new in 2018, it is relatively rare among thousand yuan machines. The one with high speed and high availability is even more rare. The Glory 9i is just the one that meets this feature.

Face recognition is faster than other models at the same price

There may still be many users who do not accept face recognition as an unlocking method, but with the popularity of full screen, the front of the fuselage has been difficult to accommodate physical fingerprint recognition, and the design has certain limitations on the back, so face recognition has become an ideal unlocking method at this stage. From another perspective, do you want to see the little sister across the street always playing games with her head down, or occasionally pick up the phone to show off her bright eyes and bright teeth?

summary

As another masterpiece of Glory in the field of thousand yuan machine, 9i can be said to be a model that takes the edge of the sword. Different from other models that blindly pursue cost performance and ignore appearance, Glory 9i takes a face value first, focusing on the thousand yuan model of differentiated competition. Dark light selfie and fast face recognition are its trumpets.

For many users, the first impression of a product may be more about whether it has outstanding features, looks good, or is fun than whether it is a bucket or omnipotent. The Glory 9i is precisely focused on this point. Its appearance and dark self timer are all its characteristics that stand out from other models at the same price. It is also these characteristics that make it have a place in the competitive incentive thousand yuan market. It may not be the most prominent one, but the one that leaves the deepest impression.
