As a key cost performance brand, Glory has always had a good reputation among consumers. Glory 10 and Glory V10 are popular models at the moment. Although there are many popular products, Glory has not stopped. It has made persistent efforts to quickly launch another model equipped with Kirin 970, which is Glory Play. Although not Guangming is playing a big role in the "game phone", as the first model equipped with GPU Turbo, the game is obviously the main selling point of Glory Play. Let's see how the famous GPU Turbo performs.
Appearance and details
Glory Play is equipped with a 6.3-inch LCD Liu Hai screen with a resolution of 2340 * 1080. It has a nominal NTSC color gamut of 85%. Today, when OLED screens dominate smart phones, it is rare for quasi flagship computers to use LCD screens.
The most eye-catching fringe on the front of the fuselage is the fringe with moderate width, which is relatively common. There is relatively sufficient space on both sides to accommodate time, battery, notice and other icons.
The fuselage retains the chin design. The width of the chin is slightly narrower than the width of the fringe, which is basically close to the 18:9 full screen chin width. It is acceptable for this positioning model.
There is no space for fingerprint identification on the front of the fuselage, so Glory Play uses the rear fingerprint identification, which is also a design that users are very familiar with. Post fingerprint identification was once replaced by front fingerprint identification. However, with the prevalence of full screen and Liu Haiping, the space on the front of mobile phones has been greatly compressed. To some extent, re enabling post fingerprint identification is also a helpless move. After all, offline fingerprint identification is not yet familiar, and post fingerprint identification is a more mature solution.
All series of Glory Play are equipped with rear dual camera and fill light as standard, and the camera protrudes slightly from the body. The dual camera is a dual color camera, of which the main camera is 16 million pixels, aperture f/2.2, and supports phase focusing; The subphoto is 2 million pixels, aperture f/2.4.
The back of the fuselage is made of sandblasted metal, and the top and bottom are equipped with dome shaped injection antenna. The design language of the whole machine is quite simple, and there is not much decoration on the body. Glory Play also provides three colors, namely, magic night black, aurora blue and nebula purple. Our version is nebula purple, but it is closer to pink in color.
The front of the fuselage is also simple, with only the glorious logo on the chin. The black panel is deep, and the whole machine is consistent.
As for the design of Liu Haiping, different users have different preferences. However, aesthetics belongs to turnips and vegetables. Liu Haiping has effectively improved the display area of mobile phones. Of course, we still hope that smart phones can achieve a truly borderless full screen in the future.

Users who can't stand Liu Haiping can turn on the global hidden Liu Haiping mode provided by the EMUI system. Although the forehead width is slightly touching after turning on, they at least saved the nation from obsessive-compulsive disorder through the curve.
Screen quality
In terms of screen, Glory Play uses a 6.3 inch LCD bangs screen with a resolution of 2340 * 1080. At present, it is rare to use LCD screens in high-end smart phones. Please use and cherish them. In the short term, OLED dimming will still not be a worry. In terms of objective quality, the default color temperature is 7700k, and the maximum brightness is about 420 nites. In the default display mode, the sRGB color gamut coverage is 94.5%, which is average; In the 104 color alignment test, the average DeltaE is 1.6, and the highest DeltaE is only 3.4. The performance of single wheel color alignment is relatively excellent, and there are not many LCD panels that can achieve this color alignment. Although this screen does not have a wide color gamut and its quality is not very high, the overall appearance is OK, and it is worthy of the positioning of this mobile phone.
Performance and system experience
Glory Play uses the Kirin 970, and the processor part consists of four A73 cores and four A53 cores. Compared with the Kirin 960, the improvement in architecture is not significant, so the improvement in scoring is not obvious, but the performance is very stable. Many of our models equipped with the Kirin 970 processor are basically at the same level. Most tests basically win or lose with the 835, but it's hard to face the Snapdragon 845. RAR testing has always been the weakness of the Kirin series processors.
It is believed that many users are already familiar with the graphics score. The absolute score and the Snapdragon 835 win and lose each other, slightly weaker than the Adreno540 of the Snapdragon 835, but a big gap with the Adreno630 of the Snapdragon 845.

In this part, we have to mention the GPU Turbo software and hardware combination acceleration technology. The system does not provide the GPU Turbo switch. The eight currently supported games will enable GPU acceleration by default. GPU Turbo technology The basic performance of GPU hardware can not be changed qualitatively, but the targeted optimization of the game has played a relatively immediate role. Many games with unstable performance or low frame rate have changed significantly after the support of GPU Turbo, and the pure score can not fully reflect the real use experience, Therefore, we have added some game frame rate comparisons here (the selected games are all supported by GPU Turbo). In comparison with Snapdragon 845, the game frame rate is basically the same level, but its stability is still inferior to that of Snapdragon 845. Especially when there is a large range of scene switching in the stimulating battlefield, the GPU Turbo still has a certain frame rate decline, but the availability of most scenes is already very high. At present, GPU Turbo still only supports 8 games. I hope it can support more games in the future. After all, not every user will follow the current popular games.
Memory and flash performance test
In terms of storage, reading and writing, Glory Play maintains a relatively high level except for the relatively low level of continuous writing (also within the normal range), which is also the traditional strength of Huawei series mobile phones.
Photo effect
Photography is not the main selling point of Glory Play, but it is still equipped with a rear dual camera, of which the main camera is 16 million pixels and the aperture is f/2.2; The secondary camera is 2 million pixels with an aperture of f/2.4. The shooting mainly depends on the 16 million pixel main camera, and the sub camera mainly plays the role of detecting the depth of field.

In terms of daytime proofs, the availability of Glory Play is very high. Similar to other Huawei models, Glory Play has also added AI intelligent scene recognition. Although the color is more pleasing after opening, the oil painting feeling will be heavier, and there will be some loss of details. It is recommended to turn off AI scene recognition in daily use. The performance of the comparison model Xiaomi 8 SE is quite similar to that of the comparison model, both of which are quite similar in terms of exposure, white balance, and detail performance. After all, there is little difference between the current middle and high-end sensors in the environment with good daytime light, and the main difference is only the difference in ultimate discrimination and tolerance. Surprisingly, Glory Play, which is mainly shot by 16 million people, has no more advantages in details than Xiaomi 8 SE, which is mainly shot by 12 million people.

Although the unit pixel is only 1.12 when the light is dim μ The performance of the m OV16B10 is not as stable as that in the daytime. The noise control and picture brightness are not satisfactory. In addition, there is no optical anti shake, and the film yield is relatively ordinary. The film output is not very stable. Sometimes, there will be excessive noise.
However, from the actual performance of the proof, the dark imaging of Glory Play is quite unexpected. In addition to the brightness and tolerance of the picture, Glory Play is slightly better than Xiaomi 8SE in terms of details, picture purity, noise control, and even the glare of the lens (possibly related to the negative HDR optimization of Xiaomi 8SE). This is quite unexpected. After all, the Xiaomi 8 SE is not weak in photographing. It is surprising that Glory Play, as a leading game experience model, can reach this level in photographing.
Battery life charging
In terms of endurance, Glory Play uses a built-in 3750 mAh battery. The 2-hour high-intensity endurance test consumes 22% of the power in total. The performance is fairly normal. Our test game is not supported by GPU Turbo, so its power consumption is basically the same as that of other mobile phones, without special power reduction bonus.
The attached charger is a 9V2A fast charging head, not a Super Charge. In terms of charging power, the power supply power of about 17W can be achieved by using the built-in charger.
summary
As the first model equipped with GPU Turbo technology in Huawei's entire series, Glory Play has received high attention. It is also the first model that has truly witnessed the strength of GPU Turbo. In the past year, Huawei has stagnated on the processor. Although the launch of the Kirin 970 was less than a year ago, the relative lag in the architecture has affected its competitiveness. Although the CPU performance is still competitive today, the graphics performance is relatively weak in terms of the Snapdragon 835 in the same period and the current Snapdragon 845. The launch of the GPU Turbo has changed this situation. Although the basic performance of the hardware cannot be changed, the targeted optimization of the game is real. At present, the games supported by the GPU Turbo show good frame rate and stability, and hope to support more games in the future.
However, it does not mean that Glory Play is the strongest model in the Glory series. From the performance of Glory Play in all aspects, it is more of a partial college student. With the blessing of GPU Turbo, it has significantly improved in the game, but other aspects, such as appearance, screen, optical anti shake, are not so ideal. To some extent, Glory Play is more like a "game phone" of Glory series than a new generation flagship machine.
