The camera ability is comparable to the flagship Nubian Z 1 1miniS evaluation.

IT 168 Evaluation Unconsciously, Nubia has been with us for the fourth year, as a distinctive mobile phone brand in the market. Compared with other mobile phone brands, Nubia rarely pushes it and always focuses on the product itself. From the beginning, based on the advantages of ZTE's all-netcom, to the research on taking pictures of mobile phones, and then to the birth of the first domestic "borderless" mobile phone. It can be seen that Nubia insists on its own products and is eager for technology. In the end, such persistence and success enabled Nubia to achieve product differentiation, which can be said to be of great significance.

On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of Nubia, Nubia officially held four Nubian cowboy festivals and autumn new product launches in June 65438+1October 65438+July. As one of the highlights of the conference, Nubian Z 1 1mini S officially met with you. From the name, Z 1 1 miniS.

It belongs to the mini series, but it was released this time.

"Nubian Z 1 1miniS evaluation: new appearance and new technology.

Compared with the previous generation, Nubian Z 1 1 miniS is in

On the basis of keeping light and round, the all-metal body technology is adopted, which gives people a very good feel. The arc transition between the frame and the front and rear panels is natural. Although the screen size is 0.2 inches larger, they actually don't feel much when they get started. Good first impression.

▲ Nubian Z 1 1miniS

Nubian Z 1 1 miniS

Its body size is146.06mmx72.14mmx7.6mm, and its weight is 158g, which is not much different from other mobile phones of the same size and can be easily controlled with one hand. But in fact, after getting started, the author felt a kind of texture and touch beyond its similar products, and the high proportion of metal also made the products look more exquisite.

▲ Nubia

Z 1 1 mini

Here, I want to mention the new metal technology, Nubian Z 1 1 miniS.

The metal technology used is the best mobile phone of the same price that the author has contacted. CNC integrated back cover, fine sandblasting and anodic oxidation make the new product have excellent texture and feel. But one thing that needs to be spit out is that the camera does not match the fingerprint identification module, which destroys the symmetrical beauty of the fuselage to some extent.

▲ Nubia

In addition, due to the slight curvature around the back cover, the camera in the upper left corner will have asymmetric protrusions, which will lead to the wear and tear of the camera in daily use.

Generally speaking, in Nubia,

Z 1 1 mini

We can see that Nubian's product design is becoming more and more mature, and the design style has developed from the founder of previous generations to the roundness and lightness that is more in line with the public aesthetic. Exquisite sandblasting and anodizing technology, and larger R angle make the new product more suitable for the user's palm, bringing excellent touch and feel.

"Nubian Z 1 1miniS evaluation: increasingly mature UI4.0"

Nubian Z 1 1 miniS is equipped with Nubian UI version UI4.0 based on Android 6.0, and the version number is 1. 14 (internal test version). From the perspective of interface design, the user interface of Nubian UI4.0 has become increasingly mature. Many "gameplay" owned by the previous generation have also been inherited and upgraded in UI4.0. For example, the unique interactive technology FiT has been upgraded in UI4.0, and the addition of red envelope assistant, super screen capture, one-handed mode and intelligent split screen also adds points to the practicality of UI.

▲ Flat design style

Since the Nubian UI3.0 era, Nubia has started to use flat style icon design. In UI4.0, Nubia redraws the system icons to make the overall style more concise and unified, and the addition of lock screen pictorial also makes the UI look younger and more personalized.

▲ Nubian Z 1 1 miniS

Long press the small circle button to enter the multitasking manager, and the running ones are displayed in the form of cards. Slide up to end the task, slide down to lock the task and prevent one-click cleaning. In addition to displaying notifications, the drop-down notification bar can also have switch buttons such as data and wifi, which is convenient to control and supports the second drop-down to bring up more shortcuts.

"edge gesture FIT2.0:

▲ Add border function

As early as the Nubian UI3.0 era, edge gestures became Nubian's iconic operation mode, making full use of screen edges to achieve the purpose of improving use efficiency. The new version of FIT Edge Touch 2.0 not only improves the accuracy of edge touch, but also adds new functions including edge double-clicking, making it more convenient and faster to use.

With the help of FIT2.0, we can quickly operate our mobile phone through different edge gestures. Especially for business people, the edge touch function can effectively improve the efficiency of users, let users switch the corresponding applications faster and more accurately, and make the mobile phone closer to daily work and life.

"Super screenshot:

▲ Quite practical super screenshot.

Super screenshot is a very practical function officially launched by Nubian UI4.0, which provides a variety of screen capture methods. Users can conveniently intercept the information or position they want in the screen through this function without worrying about intercepting other irrelevant information, which makes the screenshot clearer. This function is called by pressing the power button and the volume button (at will), and has three functions: long screenshot, free screenshot and screen recording. Among them, "long screenshot" will intercept a long screenshot, which is more suitable for intercepting long articles and pictures, and "free screenshot" can intercept any part you want.

In addition to screen capture, the "record screen" function is also a highlight of super screen capture. Using the "screen recording" function, you can quickly record the required pages or documents on the screen, which can be viewed later, and you can also record the sound of the surrounding environment, so that you don't miss any details.

"Red envelope assistant:

▲ Return the red envelope assistant

Popular red envelope assistants return on Nubian Z 1 1 miniS. In the login state of WeChat, when a red envelope comes, if the mobile phone is off-screen, a red envelope reminder box with a prompt tone will pop up, and the user only needs to click Open. If the mobile phone is unlocked, the red envelope will remind the user in the form of a message at the top of the mobile phone screen, and click it to directly enter the red envelope grabbing interface.

Generally speaking, Nubian UI has formed its own unique style since Nubian UI4.0, and in terms of functional innovation, functions such as split screen and super screenshot are both personalized and practical. Of course, compared with other more mature UIs, Nubian UIs still have some functional deficiencies, which need to be enriched in the later stage of Nubian.

In the actual game experience, the author didn't feel obviously stuck, both the replenishment and the team battle were very smooth, and the frame number record showed that the frame number of the whole game process was very smooth.

It has been kept in a fairly stable state. In other words, Snapdragon 625 is equipped with

Adreno 506 is enough to play most online games. Of course, if users want to play large-scale games, they may need to reduce the image quality to ensure the overall fluency of the game.

After the overall experience, the performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 can fully meet the daily needs of users and can play most online games. However, the author thinks that the biggest highlight of this processor is not the performance, but the excellent energy consumption control and heating control under the 14nm process. The author is almost one.

After many hours of game experience, Nubian Z 1 1 minis

Only the back cover has slight fever, which does not affect the use.

"Nubian Z 1 1miniS evaluation: how about 23 million pixels imaging?
