A sincere work to return to the mobile phone market —— Comment on TCL Thunderbird FF 1

On August 26th, TCL, which has faded out of the domestic mobile phone circle for many years, released one of its mobile phone products, which is also the first mobile phone of its subsidiary Thunderbird FF 1. Since the birth of TCL Thunderbird brand, with its excellent Internet genes, it has quickly gained many young and energetic users. In order to meet the needs of these users, Thunderbird further expanded its product line on the basis of TV products, and Thunderbird FF 1 was born.

From the configuration point of view, Thunderbird FF 1 adopts 120Hz full-screen with high refresh rate, and cooperates with current flagship hardware configurations such as 66W fast charge and 64 million pixels. In the basic experience, it can be said that it is far more than competing products at the same price. With all kinds of excellent configurations, it entered the most competitive market below 3,000 yuan at a price of 2,499 yuan. Next, we will send you a detailed product introduction.

"Unbounded screen" enhances the experience

When you get Thunderbird FF 1, the first impression you get is that the screen is so full. The size of 6.67 inches is not very large, but with the "unbounded screen" design of 1.3mm side frame, 1.35mm top frame and 3.75mm bottom frame, the screen ratio reaches 94.7%. The screen border is extremely narrow, which further enhances the visual extensibility. At the same time, the control of the screen size is convenient to hold and operate, even for girls with small hands, they can operate with one hand.

In other aspects, this LCD screen has a resolution of 2K, a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 180Hz, a DCI-P3 film-grade wide color gamut, a hardware-grade blue-light eye protection, and parameters are directly filled. However, the debate about LCD and OLED has never stopped, and the display effect of the screen can't just depend on the parameters. The well-known advantage of LCD is that DC dimming can make eyes more comfortable, so this high-quality LCD screen of Thunderbird FF 1 may be more suitable for heavy mobile phone users now.

In addition, we simply compared the display effects of Thunderbird FF 1 with iPhone 1 1 and iPhone 12 Pro, and the experience of this screen was amazing.

A veritable fast charge.

Another main selling point of Thunderbird FF 1 is 66W fast charging. According to official data, it takes 17 minutes to charge to 50%, and it will be full in about 40 minutes. In the actual measurement, it takes 9 minutes for Thunderbird FF 1 to charge from 60% to 76%, and the actual charging speed is basically consistent with the speed provided by the government.

Speaking of gaming experience, some users may wonder which chip Thunderbird FF 1 is. After all, the official did not mention it at the press conference. Under the background of global chip shortage, Thunderbird FF 1 chose Qualcomm Snapdragon 690. The positioning of this 5G midrange chip is slightly higher than that of Snapdragon 7 10. Judging from the game experience of the glory of the king, Peace Elite and QQ Flying Car, Thunderbird FF 1 can fully meet the needs of game users.

Interesting camera

Although the 64-megapixel three-camera system is the best in the price range of 2000-3000 yuan, there are many models, which cannot be said to have great advantages. Of course, it is more than enough to meet the daily shooting needs. At the same time, different functional modes are also surprising.

In addition to the strong ability of the main camera, the large aperture mode can also take some "atmospheric" photos. In this mode, you can also adjust the aperture size to create different temperament.

▲ Large aperture photo, the focus of the picture is more prominent.

▲ Turn on the AI mode, and the colors and details are obviously optimized.

In the night scene mode, the colors and details of the light and dark parts are obviously improved at the same time, and the photos taken are also very brilliant.

▲ When the night scene mode is turned on, the details of the dark part (sky) and the bright part (building) are obviously improved.

In addition, Thunderbird FF 1 is also equipped with a 120 super wide-angle lens and a 4cm macro lens, which is fun to play and shoot.

Hidden design

Thunderbird FF 1 has two colors: ice lake green and starry sky black. Compared with the gradient and dazzling colors of friends, these two colors are particularly low-key. The double-texture film splicing technology makes these two colors unique: glacial lake green is like a calm and deep lake, and starry sky black is like a quiet and high night sky, which has a consistent aesthetic feeling.

The cutting method of the side frame draws inspiration from the runway, and adopts parallel line cutting to show the speed aesthetics with the change of light and shadow. At the same time, I can feel that the design of the whole machine is optimized for the grip-the transition from the back cover to the middle frame is round, which perfectly fits the curvature of the palm when holding.

Today, when fingerprint becomes the mainstream under the screen, Thunderbird FF 1 chose to unlock the side fingerprint. Although it is not as convenient as domestic mainstream off-screen fingerprints, it is sensitive and easy to operate, and the unlocking speed is even better than many off-screen fingerprints. Take out the mobile phone according to the usual habit, and put your finger on the unlock button naturally, which does not change the user's operating habits much.

As the return of mobile phone business, the configuration of high screen, fast charge and high pixel still shows the sincerity of Thunderbird FF 1. In addition, the brand has developed in an all-round way in terms of Internet TV and content ecology. Thunderbird FF 1 has accumulated a huge user base at the initial stage of release, which provides Thunderbird with a better competitive advantage in the current 2000 yuan file.
