Glory 8X, the Glory midrange model with a starting price of 1399 yuan, has simple and crude selling points: Kirin 710+German Rhine T ∨ V low blue light certification+COF sealed narrow edge Liu Haiping. The rear cover coating of that block is also a very rare design, which is quite recognizable among a bunch of Liu Haiping machines with the same configuration. The main slot point is that there is no quick charge, and the main camera configuration is general. But does it smell good in the end? Let's take a look now.
parameter
Parameter comparison of Glory 8X, Red Rice Note 5, Lenovo Z5 and Nut Pro 2S
The card position of Glory 8X is between Snapdragon 636 and Snapdragon 710, which poses a greater threat to Snapdragon 636. Compared with the latter, if the price is only increased by 1 or 200, the performance will be close to that of Snapdragon 660/710.
Glory 8X component information
The specific information of OFILM_TD4320_6.5 '_VIDEO_TFT_1080_x_2340 is the video mode of OFILM_TD4320_6.5'.
Front IMX371, rear IMX350, camera material is normal for equipment at this price.
Appearance and workmanship
Glory 8X is also a family style light blue package. The official head is HW-050200c02, with a maximum output of 5V/2A. Hangjia Chiyuan OEM.
The proportion of Glory 8X screens is one of the best in Huawei/Glory models this year. The factory has a film. The width of the bangs and the lower frame are well controlled. The bangs have a circular earpiece in the middle, distance/light sensors on both sides, and 1600W pixel cameras.
The back of the Glory 8X is still a family style "glare stripe", while the newly added color separation band makes the taste of the previous card machine a little bit. The camera position is marked with "AI camera", the bottom is a 2000W pixel main shot, and the top 200W sub shot is only used for virtual ranging.
Both front and back glasses have polished plastic washers, which are strictly symmetrical
There is only one noise reducing microphone on the top
The key layout is very conventional. The most special thing is that the TF card can be inserted into the card slot at the same time in addition to dual cards. This is very authentic. The biggest regret is that the mirco USB interface, which appeared in 8102, does not support fast charging. Fortunately, the headphone interface is reserved (the position is asymmetric, and obsessive-compulsive disorder indicates that it is difficult).
At a price of around 1500, the Glory 8X has no defects in workmanship. It is a leather type. The front and back of the glass have gaskets. Although the integration is reduced, the fall protection performance should be slightly better. There is nothing special in the feel. There is no curved back cover. It is close to the level of the big iPhone. Fingerprint entry requires about 15 times of pressing, and the speed is normal.
screen
Factory default bright mode, sRGB color gamut coverage (red and green beyond a section, but not strictly aligned)
Factory default bright mode, sRGB color standard (this color standard has the greatest impact on daily color standard)
Glory 8X adopts 6.5 inch LCD screen, narrow fringe 2340 * 1080397PPI, standard RGB arrangement, really fragrant~
The maximum brightness is only 335 nits, setting a new record. It will be difficult to read outdoors in sunny or even cloudy days;
The contrast can also reach 1325:1 at 105 nites, which is good; The results of color accuracy test at a brightness close to 100 nits in daily use are as follows.
Standard mode:
Color temperature 6903K, close to the standard color temperature, slightly warm;
Covering 94.6% of sRGB color gamut;
The average deltaE of 104 colors is 3.5, the maximum is 11.8, and the performance is OK;
Vivid mode (factory default):
The color temperature is 8432K, obviously cold;
Covering 99% sRGB color gamut, 82.4% P3 color gamut;
In the sRGB color gamut, the average deltaE of 104 colors is 4.9, with a maximum of 14.7, which shows that the color standard has the greatest impact on daily use;
In P3 color gamut, the average deltaE of 104 colors is 5.3, and the maximum deltaE is 14.1, showing the same standard.
The main problem with this screen is that its extreme brightness is low, and it is hard to read in the sun. The bangs are partially dark, and the rest of the gamut coverage and color accuracy are basically in line with the expectations of this price level. Compared with the quality itself, the biggest feature of the Glory 8X screen is the narrow chin brought by the COF package.
The official selling point of "German Rhine T ∨ V Low Blue Light Certification", it is recommended to watch it calmly. Almost all LCD screen phones will not have low-frequency PWM dimming, nor will PPI be insufficient. All LCD screens with eye protection mode adjusted to yellow will not have many blue light problems. Finally, I can't help saying that LCD is really fragrant.
system
System Desktop
Multi task, notification bar, power consumption statistics and chain start control
Glory 8X is equipped with EMUI 8.2 based on Android 8.1. Looking back at Huawei/Glory's system, their logic settings are quite different from other domestic ROMs. The function is relatively simple in logic. There are three options, such as raising hands to light up, multi finger screenshots, hiding bangs, and gesture operation.
The system has very detailed background/chain start control, power recording and control. Most of the system settings are biased towards higher information density, and the advertising and push problems of EMUI are not as serious as those of MIUI and Flyme. I prefer this efficient machine guy.
However, EMUI is still an old problem. UI design and default wallpaper style do not quite meet the common aesthetic standards of young people. However, considering the average age of Huawei's proud user group, this should be a choice on the user group. It would be more reliable to find a third-party desktop or icon package by yourself.
The smoothness of the system on Glory 8X is completely OK, and the speed of the machine with SoC name "710" is quite OK . When I first started, I even felt that it was faster than Huawei P20, and the animation went through the ground. Then I opened the developer option, and found that the factory was a 0.5 times animation transition. This operation has not been seen for a long time.
Performance: "710" is a magic number
Comparison of Kirin 710, Kirin 970 and Snapdragon 636, Snapdragon 660/670, Snapdragon 710 parameters
Kirin 710 is a 12nm FinFET process, the CPU part is 4 * A73+4 * A73, 2.2G+1.7G; The GPU is Mali-G51 MP4. CPU architecture and frequency are very close to our flagship Compared with the high pass toothpaste squeezing, it is much more forceful. Of course, there are more toothpaste capital and surplus in Qualcomm.
Compared with Qualcomm, the CPU of Kirin 710 is only slightly weaker than that of Snapdragon 660, and significantly stronger than that of Snapdragon 636. The gap between Kirin 710 and Snapdragon 710/670 is mainly in architecture. Since the parameters of the GPU cannot be compared between Qualcomm's Adreno series and ARM's public Mali series, the following is based on actual measurement.
This time, Red Rice Note 5 is used as the representative of Snapdragon 636, Meizu 15 is used as the representative of Snapdragon 660, Xiaomi 8 SE is used as the representative of Snapdragon 710, and the Kirin 970 of high-end Huawei P20 Pro and the Snapdragon 845 on the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8 are used as reference values.

CPU operation performance test
Memory performance test
GPU graphics performance test
Storage performance test
For CPU, Glory 8X single core has successfully achieved the level of Snapdragon 660, but its multi-core performance is weaker. As with theoretical achievements, Don't put the dragon 636 in your eyes at all. You can easily win or lose with the dragon 660;
GPU is slightly weaker than Snapdragon 660, one gear stronger than Snapdragon 636 and one gear weaker than Snapdragon 710. On the 3D Mark, which is known as "Qualcomm Mark", it is somewhat unexpected that it is not as good as Snapdragon 636.
On the flash side, the Glory 8X is still an eMMC, but we have a 128G version, and flash memory reading and writing are among the best in eMMC.
The daily CPU frequency scheduling of Glory 8X is relatively active. The full core frequency can be achieved at the moment of application startup or high load. There is no problem with daily smoothness, and there is no obvious heating in daily use. On the GPU side, although it is only the Mali-G54 MP4, the game is still at the flagship level. Although GPU is only MP4, It is probably Huawei's common high-frequency strategy of fewer cores, which is superior to the remaining chip area and cost. The disadvantages are high-frequency heating and energy efficiency ratio.
GPU GFLOPS toaster test
In the MIX2 mode single bake CPU, the Glory 8X began to show significant frequency reduction in about 2 minutes. After 3 minutes, the small core dropped to 1.5G, and the large core hovered between 1.8-2.2G. Interestingly, the body of Glory 8X is not hot at this time, but the SoC part is slightly warm The control of continuous output can be said to be very conservative, leaving a lot of space for the dual Turbo.

Glory 8X camera interface
The Glory 8X main camera is a 20 megapixel IMX350 without optical anti shake, which is generally used on the auxiliary camera of Huawei and the flagship of Glory series (black and white auxiliary camera with filter removed). Its unit pixel is only 1.0 μ m. The first law of the camera that "the bottom is bigger than the bottom" determines that its tolerance and weak light performance will not be too good. The last time I saw this CMOS in the main camera of mainstream mobile phones, it was in 2016. It is estimated that everyone will still be impressed by the performance of the flagship camera of domestic Android.
The photo taking experience of Glory 8X is average, and the shutter response is fast, The scene recognition of AI camera is also fast and accurate (of course, it is lower than the accuracy of its own flagship), and even the synthesis speed of HDR is the normal level of domestic flagship. its The main problems are that there is a large deviation between the view preview and the film formation, the low light film formation rate and the focusing bellows, Even if the light is weak, you have to pull the bellows. In the era of full pixel dual core focusing for 1000 yuan computers such as Hongmi Note 5, the ordinary phase focusing is obviously not enough.

It is estimated that everyone is familiar with Huawei AI cameras. After identifying the scene, it is highly likely to improve the color saturation, sharpening and noise reduction. Users who like restoration may sneer at it, but users who like to make friends may like it, which can beautify the bad real environment. This has to be switched on and off according to personal preference.

Light scene
The metering of Glory 8X is sensitive, and there will be very obvious changes in manual intervention metering. The default metering is close to the naked eye, and the white balance is relatively stable. Compared with the 12 million pixel base sensor, the 20 million pixel base sensor has a slight advantage in discrimination in the daytime, but when the light gets worse, the smear will be more obvious, and the saturation will drop faster.
On the whole, Glory 8X is the conventional performance of IMX350. With the help of AI camera, it can be opened with "its own color filter", Imaging is no good. Huawei/Glory's white balance and photo taking experience are relatively easy to compete against other 1-micron competitors of the same level. However, in the face of S5K2L7 or IMX363/362, a 1.4 μ m unit pixel opponent, it will be difficult to focus or film.
Endurance&Charging&Heating
Comparison of multi machine endurance of Glory 8X, Hongmi Note 5, Xiaomi 8 SE, Lenovo Z5, etc
Glory 8X is equipped with 3750mAh battery. After 30 minutes of large-scale games (NBA 2K15), 30 minutes of wifi and 4G Internet access and 30 minutes of local video playback, after a total of 2 hours of endurance test, the remaining power is 79%. The endurance performance is good, and it is very close to the red rice Note 5 of 4000mAh battery+Snapdragon 636. The whole result is basically linear with the battery capacity.
Glory 8X Charging Curve

Diagram of charging nodes of Glory 8X, Lenovo Z5, 360N7 and Hongmi Note 5
Glory 8X does not support fast charging. It is equipped with 5V2A charger as standard and can only be charged with 5V2A. From 5% to 100% charge, it takes 15 minutes to charge to 16%, 30 minutes to charge to 31%, 45 minutes to charge to 45%, and one hour to charge to 58%. It takes 2 hours and 15 minutes to fully charge. The charging speed is almost 1% per minute, which is obviously slow. In the era when competitors at the same level or even lower level all support fast charging, this charging speed is really an obvious weakness.
Glory 8X game fever test
In terms of heating, the room temperature is 26 degrees. After 20 minutes of NBA 2K15, the highest temperature on the front of the machine appears on the right side of the top, about 44.4 degrees; The highest temperature on the back appears on the right side of the camera, which is about 44.6 degrees. The temperature is slightly high, slightly hot.
summary
The narrow chin, narrow fringe screen and color separation back cover of Glory 8X are still OK in appearance;
Although the screen is LCD and German Rhine T ∨ V low blue light certification, it is not eye pleasing without hurting the eyes. The main problem is that the highest brightness is low, the color is average, and the brightness at the fringe is not uniform;
The EMUI system is in the middle of the functional and advertising balance. In addition to the default UI and wallpaper, there is no big slot, and the background and power management are even a little easier to use;
The Kirin 710 is a little more expensive than the Snapdragon 636, providing CPU performance close to the Snapdragon 660. There is still a gap in GPU, but the power consumption is also a good U;
There is no optical anti shake high pixel small bottom, and the photography performance is average;
The endurance performance is good, but the 8102 mobile phone does not have fast charging, which is not satisfactory, and the high load game is also slightly higher;
For medium and low-end mobile phones, SoC is still the core choice. Glory 8X vs Snapdragon 636, It can be done by adding 1 or 200, which is worth it. It is the type of "bite the bullet and open the sky". Even if the gradually delisted Snapdragon 660 model is included (for example, the 4+64 version of Xiaomi 6X for 1349 yuan), the cost performance of Glory 8X is commendable.
