What is the performance of 2499 yuan fingerprint mobile phone? Huawei Maimang 4 evaluation

IT 168 Evaluation If several keywords are extracted for the mobile phone industry of 20 15, then "fingerprint identification" and "all-metal body" are essential. Speaking of fingerprint identification, its appearance can be said to rekindle the whole mobile phone market. Whether it is a low-end model with a price of 1,000 yuan or a high-end model with a price of 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan, fingerprint identification is one of the selling points it must be equipped with. Speaking of all-metal integrated fuselage design, although more and more models have adopted similar appearance, there is no doubt that the real all-metal integrated fuselage is still the exclusive feature of mid-to high-end models. So what is your price expectation when both appear on a mobile phone at the same time? Just a few days ago, Huawei's brand Maimang released a new generation of mid-to high-end smartphones-Maimang 4. Under the background of all-metal integrated fuselage and fingerprint identification function, the price of 2499 yuan for the high version/full netcom version of this machine has attracted great attention from users. What kind of mobile phone can Huawei Maimang 4 dare to enter the price of more than 2000 yuan?

As we all know, at present, in the domestic smart phone market, the price range of 2000 yuan is the most concerned by users. In this interval, many high-end models of Internet brands abound. In this case, the pressure of Huawei Maimang 4 can be said to be obvious. However, as Huawei's smart phone brand targeting young fashion groups, Maimang series mobile phones have always had good sales and reputation. Under the influence of Huawei's brand appeal, the strength of Maimang 4 should not be underestimated. According to Huawei, the global sales volume of Maimang 3s has exceeded 5 million units, which is very rare for a smart phone that only provides telecommunications standards. The latest Maimang 4 not only adds a very hot fingerprint recognition function, but also adds a full netcom function with high voice and strong practicability, which undoubtedly further enhances its competitiveness. Then, what is the performance of this high-end version/full netcom version of Maimang 4, so that it can confidently enter the price of more than 2,000 yuan? What kind of experience will the so-called "all-metal fingerprint phone" bring? Besides fingerprint identification and all-metal body design, what other powerful functions does Maimang 4 have? Before figuring out these problems, we might as well learn about this brand-new mobile phone again.

From the configuration point of view, Huawei Maimang 4 is not top-notch, but it is also remarkable. It is said that the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 16 processor has improved the energy consumption ratio and performance. Sapphire glass lens is used on the surface, and the optical anti-shake lens with pixels reaching 6.5438+0.3 million is also worth looking forward to; The design of 2.5D glass and all-metal body is also one of the many selling points of this machine. Of course, the dual card dual standby and full netcom attributes provide additional guarantee for the performance of this machine in terms of practicality. So, are these points mentioned by the author really as excellent and first-class as the official description? Is this full netcom version of Maimang 4 with a price of 2499 yuan worth buying? Today's Huawei Maimang 4 evaluation will bring you along.

For Huawei Maimang 4 with 2.5D curved screen and all-metal integrated body, appearance is undoubtedly one of its many selling points. Of course, there are not a few mobile phones with similar designs now. So, what are the advantages of Huawei Maimang 4? Let's take a closer look and the answer will be revealed naturally.

Whether looking at people or watching mobile phones, the first feeling is very important. Huawei Maimang 4 gives me the first feeling of elegance and exquisiteness. Of course, the first thing to mention here is the front 2.5D curved screen. Huawei Maimang 4 uses a 5.5-inch 1080P display screen, but this does not bring a huge and bulky feeling to the machine, which is mainly due to the large chamfer of the fuselage and the 2.5D curved screen with curved edges on the front. The front of the aircraft also adopts a three-stage design, which is also the "family design" that appears in Huawei models at present. The advantage of this design is of course the visual borderless effect, especially in the case of using dark wallpaper.

Huawei Maimang 4 adopts virtual touch buttons, and the layout of the buttons can be adjusted by itself. Users can hide or exhale at will during use, which can effectively increase the display area. In addition, an LED notification light is hidden at the top of Huawei Maimang 4, which can remind users of notifications and incoming calls in time.

After talking about the front screen, we will talk about the all-metal integrated body adopted by this machine. Huawei Maimang 4 adopts a real all-metal fuselage design, and the metal ratio of the fuselage reaches 90%, leaving only the upper and lower antenna positions of the fuselage in the form of polycarbonate embedded materials. It should be noted that this embedded design not only makes the fuselage look more integrated, but also has better stability than the common three-stage metal fuselage design.

It is worth mentioning that according to Huawei's official description, the all-metal integrated fuselage adopted by Huawei Maimang 4 has gone through 133 processes, and the processing time is 389 minutes, which shows the complexity of its process. The most intuitive feeling brought by this is the delicate texture brought by its ceramic shell, which can only be felt after you get started.

In addition, the back of the Huawei Maimang 4 fuselage is designed with a camera in the center. This13 megapixel optical anti-shake camera uses sapphire glass as a protective lens. The official said that the sapphire lens is also the largest of the current mobile phone lenses. On the left side of the lens is the dual-color temperature flash equipped with this machine, and under the lens is the latest fingerprint identification module. It can be seen that the design of high-gloss chamfering is particularly exquisite, whether it is the metal protection ring of the lens, the flash or the opening of the fingerprint identification module, it adds a lot of color to the appearance of the machine.

In the button part, the volume adjustment button and power button of the machine are arranged on the right side of the fuselage, which is also a common design at present, and the upper-middle position of the right part is also the most suitable for right-handed users. The buttons of this machine are also made of metal, with high-gloss chamfering at the top, and the surface textures of the two buttons are also different. Keys feel moderate, rebound well, not loose.

In the appearance part, Huawei Maimang 4 gives the author the feeling that the atmosphere is exquisite. Although this machine is not a high-end model of Huawei, its workmanship and surface texture have reached the level that high-end models should have; In particular, the appearance details, tight seams, excellent button feel and exquisite chamfering of the fuselage all add a lot of color to the appearance of the machine. If there are any shortcomings in the appearance of the machine, the uniformity of color will be a concern for many users. However, the morning light gold used in this machine is visually neutral and looks fashionable but not vulgar, which should be acceptable to both male and female users.

"System parts evaluation

For an Android smart phone, the system part is also an aspect that users pay more attention to, especially after entering the era of Android 5. 1, the new system permissions bring more possibilities, and whoever can make his own characteristics at the new starting line can seize the hearts of users. For this Huawei Maimang 4, its built-in EMUI 3. 1 system based on Android 5. 1 is no stranger to everyone, and this system has become the standard of Huawei's latest smart models. Of course, because Huawei Maimang 4 has added the fingerprint recognition function, the system part of the machine is still different. Let's get to know this system again.

Although the UI of the system is much customized compared with the native Android 5. 1 system, and many localization functions are added, its system fluency is not much different from that of the native system, which is also inseparable from its 3GB running memory. From the UI style, the EMUI 3. 1 equipped with Huawei Maimang 4 can still see a strong flat style. Speaking of localization function, the first thing to mention is the iconic magazine lock screen of the system. The user can bring up the shortcut operation interface by sliding under the screen lock interface, and different text introductions can be displayed according to different wallpapers. In addition, flashlights, calculators and other commonly used tools can also be quickly called out here.

Of course, users can choose to turn off the magazine screen lock function and choose their favorite wallpaper. The theme store built in the machine also has many excellent themes to choose from. Here, I suggest that you can try to choose some dark themes, or you can unify them with the boundless ID design of the machine to get better visual effects.

Of course, a good system is not only beautiful, but also practical functions are what a mobile phone system needs most. Because the current Android system has many custom functions, such as various shortcut operations, I won't introduce them one by one. Now I've screened out some things that everyone needs most for your reference. Users who know a little about the Android system know that the background control and permission control of the Android system have always been a big problem for users. Too many background self-starting programs and chaotic permission control will lead to the surge of power consumption and the rapid escape of data traffic, and even seriously endanger the security of personal data. Fortunately, Android 5. 1 system has released more related permissions, and the machine also has built-in functions such as self-starting program control and permission management, so users can set up and manage their own systems freely.

"Fingerprint recognition function

Huawei Maimang 4 has newly added the fingerprint identification function, and adopted the back-pressure fingerprint identification module with no metal ring design. According to the official description, the fingerprint identification technology carried by the machine can achieve the fastest 6-step fingerprint input speed. For this reason, the author carried out relevant tests, and the results showed that the fingerprint of the machine was successfully entered in less than 6 steps, and the fingerprint entry efficiency was really high. In addition, the author also tested the fingerprint unlocking speed of the machine. Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is consistent with the official description of 0.5s, it is still relatively fast from the subjective feeling.

In addition, Huawei Maimang 4' s fingerprint recognition technology can also realize many personalized functions besides unlocking, such as taking a picture by long pressing the fingerprint recognition touchpad on the camera interface, and then sliding the fingerprint recognition touchpad downward to realize the operation of pulling down the notification bar. Of course, these shortcut operations don't need one-to-one correspondence between fingerprints, and they can be realized by any finger, which is still relatively humanized. The above functions have been tested by the author. Whether you double-click to close the notification or draw the notification bar, you can easily complete the operation, which is quite practical for screens over 5 inches.

Of course, the fingerprint identification function of Huawei Maimang 4 is by no means limited to this, and encryption or unlocking related applications can also be realized through fingerprint identification. In terms of functional richness, the fingerprint identification of Huawei Maimang 4 is still worth a try. However, there is still room for improvement in the accuracy of fingerprint recognition, and recognition errors will also occur during use. Of course, it may also be because of the engineering machine I got. On the whole, the fingerprint recognition performance of Huawei Maimang 4 is remarkable, and its rich functions have improved the experience of the whole machine a lot.

"The performance of the whole machine.

In order to test the actual performance of this mobile phone more comprehensively, the author downloaded a 3D game for testing. Judging from the landing speed and actual operation effect of the game, the performance of Huawei Maimang 4 is still trustworthy, and the game runs smoothly without obvious frame drop. Of course, this is also because the machine uses 3GB of large running memory. It is worth mentioning that this memory size is also relatively rare in mid-range models. Without increasing power consumption, it is worth encouraging to improve system fluency and software compatibility by increasing memory.

For many users, the camera function of mobile phones has become the primary factor for them to buy mobile phones. In this case, major mobile phone manufacturers have also added many functions that only professional cameras can have, and Huawei Maimang 4 is one of them. Huawei Maimang 4 adopts a13 megapixel main camera with an aperture value of F2.0 At the same time, the camera also supports OIS optical image stabilization and is equipped with a dual color temperature flash. In addition, the machine also uses RGBW4 color sensor, and the hardware has reached the high-end level of Huawei mobile phone.

As for the software, Huawei Maimang 4 is also very comprehensive. Panorama, HDR, full focus, continuous shooting optimization and audio photos are all optional. Coupled with the function of time-lapse photography, the camera function of Huawei Maimang 4 can be said to be very comprehensive. In addition, the voice control camera, smiling face snapshot and optical anti-shake function can all be turned on by themselves, which is quite obvious for improving the photo experience.

Of course, the configuration of software and hardware is one thing, and the actual imaging quality is another, because it also involves the optimization of algorithms and other issues. Therefore, the actual photo performance of Huawei Maimang 4 still depends on the proofs. As the conference of Maimang 4 was held in Qinghai Lake, the author just took this beautiful scene to test the camera function of Maimang 4. It should be noted that in order to be as close as possible to the daily habits of users, all proofs are taken in automatic mode, and no post-processing is done except cutting. You can refer to it according to your own usage scenarios.

Judging from the actual proofs of Huawei Maimang 4, the imaging quality of this machine is still good. With the help of large aperture and optical anti-shake, macro proofs can achieve better background blur, and at the same time, they can keep the theme details well. For the shooting of big scenes, Huawei Maimang 4' s control ability in white balance is also impressive, and the details and noise are also well controlled; Finally, when it comes to night shooting, for a mid-range mobile phone, its imaging quality is also excellent, especially the noise is completely acceptable.

Generally speaking, for a mobile phone with 6.5438+0.3 million pixel optical anti-shake lens, such image quality shows that Huawei has carefully optimized it, instead of simply stacking hardware together and allocating a public ISP. This photo experience can be regarded as a plus item of this machine.

"Stable and reliable battery life.

For smart phones with all-metal body design, battery life is often a concern of users, because the integrated body design and thinner body will sacrifice the battery life of the mobile phone. Fortunately, although the body thickness of Huawei Maimang 4 is 8 mm, it still has a built-in lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 3000mAh. Coupled with the brand-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 16 processor, the energy consumption ratio is further improved, and the battery life of the whole machine is relatively guaranteed. In practical use, the 5.5-inch 1080P display screen does not consume as much power as expected. The author takes photos every day for some system tests when using it lightly or above, and the brightness modulation of the mobile phone is the brightest. If the power saving mode is not turned on, the machine will still last for 2 days.

From the system configuration point of view, Huawei Maimang 4' s 5.5-inch 1080P display and 3000mAh battery seem destined to last for a long time, but the actual use is beyond the author's expectation. In the case of poor signal in the plateau, the battery life can still last for 2 days. If the power-saving mode is turned on or the brightness is automatically adjusted, the signal is stable and its battery life is bound to last. Of course, it should be pointed out that the machine is only equipped with 5V 1A charging power supply, which has a certain impact on the charging speed of the machine. It seems that users in need should bring their own 5V 2A charging power supply.

"Purchase suggestion: The full netcom version is more cost-effective.

After reading the evaluation of Huawei Maimang 4, I believe everyone has a clear understanding of this machine. It can be said that for a mid-to high-end model with a price of 2499 yuan, Huawei Maimang 4 is not what we expected, or Huawei Maimang 4 is a more experienced model. This experience permeates every detail of the machine, whether it is exquisite appearance and workmanship, or stable and rich system functions. In addition, as a model that pays more attention to offline channels, Huawei Maimang 4 did not have any abnormal fever or restart and crash for no reason within four days. From this perspective, Huawei Maimang 4 is still worth a try.

Of course, from the user's point of view, a 2499 yuan mobile phone is only equipped with 5V 1A charging power supply, which still needs improvement. But beyond that, Huawei Maimang 4 really can't find any obvious problems, at least in the four days I experienced. In my opinion, Huawei Maimang 4 is still worth recommending, especially for users who value quality and experience more. It should be noted that the author experienced the high-end version/full netcom version of Huawei Maimang 4, which is equipped with 3GB of large memory and supports full netcom function. The machine comes standard with dual card dual standby function, so there is no need to worry about the choice of operators. In addition, the aircraft will start the first batch of sales activities in major e-commerce platforms and Huawei's official mall on August 7, when gifts will be given. Interested users can continue to pay attention to related pages.
