At first, Maimang was a brand jointly launched by Huawei and China Telecom in 20 13. In that era of "entering the telecom is as deep as the sea, changing planes is a passer-by", Maimang won the love of many young people with its excellent product quality, innovative functional selling points and the characteristics of Netcom. Nowadays, mobile phones have already popularized the whole network, and Maimang has reached a new turning point.

From Maimang A 199 to Maimang 7, from the initial perfect support of network standard to the continuous exploration of display and imaging technology, Maimang mobile phone constantly caters to the needs of young consumers, and has won good market performance with the help of the resource advantages of operators in channel promotion.

Now, Maimang has ushered in the eighth generation of products-Maimang 8, a more extreme 6.2 1 inch pearl screen and 24 million super wide-angle three shots. What surprises will this product bring us?

A more comprehensive and comprehensive screen

Since the birth of the concept of full screen, manufacturers have been exploring the boundaries of screen size. The era of "big" is gone forever. Nowadays, users pay more attention to screen ratio, function stacking, measurement and weight control.

The 6.2 1 inch display screen used in Maimang 8 is slightly smaller than the previous generation, and Liu Haiping has been upgraded to a pearlescent screen, which makes the screen ratio increase to 89%, taking into account the overall size of the more balanced hand. Its screen resolution is 2340* 1080 and PPI is 4 15. Because it is made of LCD material, it has more advantages in pixel arrangement, and the fineness of the screen is much better than that of the organic light-emitting diode screen of the same specification.

Another advantage of LCD screen compared with organic light-emitting diodes is that it does not have the trouble of stroboscopic, and is more friendly to users with sensitive eyes. In addition, Maimang 8 has passed the Rhine certification in Germany, which can effectively reduce the blue light harmful to human eyes, and the minimum brightness at night can reach 2nit, ensuring users' reading health.

The top of the screen of Maimang 8 is designed with a micro-slit receiver and an 8-megapixel front camera below. As for the light sensor and the distance sensor, the hidden design is adopted, which is located in the upper black border area. In addition, Maimang 8 has reserved a 3.5mm headphone jack for young users, which not only ensures that the sound quality is not damaged, but also saves the trouble of turning headphones.

In fact, in the process of pursuing full screen, manufacturers not only have to solve the problem that various components and sensors occupy screen area, but also face the problem of improving antenna design.

It is understood that due to the comprehensive screen design of Maimang 8, the space of the antenna is compressed to half of the original, which makes it difficult for the original antenna index to meet Huawei's standards. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of engineers, Maimang -8 finally ensured that the antenna performance was not reduced and the reliability was taken into account when the clearance area was reduced by nearly half.

Compared with iPhone XR, Maimang 8 is slightly slender in size, but lighter in weight and very handy. For most users, although it is not completely one-handed control, it is easy to touch the system notification bar in daily use. In addition, the middle frame and the back shell of Maimang 8 are designed in one piece, and the 3D curved surface is used for transition, so there is no sense of separation when holding it, and the overall feel is quite good.

It is worth mentioning that Maimang 8 also provides excellent face recognition function, which not only has high recognition rate and fast unlocking speed, but also can be used in conjunction with lifting the wrist and brightening the screen. The whole unlocking process is smooth and natural in one go, and it can be easily unlocked even at night. It can be easily unlocked.

24 million super wide-angle three shots

Maimang 8 adopts 24 million+16 million+2 million pixels rear three cameras, the main lens has a focal length of 27mm and a wide angle17 mm. In the case of sufficient light, automatically output 24 million pixel photos to ensure the highest resolution. Automatic switching to pixel four-in-one mode at night, combined with multi-frame image fusion technology, can effectively improve the effect of dark photography. Among them, the 2 megapixel sub-camera is mainly used to cooperate with the main camera to take better portrait photos and supplement the details of the picture under certain conditions.

Maimang 8 is the first rear-mounted three-camera model launched by Maimang brand, and it is also a decentralization of Huawei's flagship feature, so we are full of expectations for the imaging performance of group three-camera.

The super wide-angle lens can be 0.6 times that of the main camera and can accommodate a wider scene. Because the wide-angle lens will show the effect of "fisheye", the edge of the photo will be obviously distorted. It can also be seen from the proofs that the wide-angle photos taken by Maimang 8 have no obvious distortion, indicating that the algorithm is optimized by default.

Judging from the above proofs, the photos taken by Maimang 8 in the daytime with sufficient light are clear and transparent, and the overall impression can be further improved with AI beauty shooting. Under bad indoor lighting conditions, the resolution of Maimang 8 decreased, and smear marks began to appear after magnification.

Turn on super night view mode

In the night environment, Maimang 8 supports AIS handheld super night scene mode, which can support exposure for up to 6 seconds, increasing the brightness and details of the picture. Judging from the obtained proofs, although the overall impression is good, if the details are enlarged, there will still be a certain sense of tailing, and there is still room for improvement in imaging under low light conditions. We look forward to the continuous optimization of subsequent software upgrades.

Some noteworthy details

Maimang 8 offers two color schemes to choose from. This time it is sapphire blue, another kind of magic night black with more restrained and low-key color scheme.

Among the products with the same price, Maimang 8 provides more memory, and the running memory is 6GB, so that users don't have to deliberately clean up background programs in daily use, and multiple applications can also ensure the fluency of the system. Maimang 8 also provides the maximum storage space of 128GB, which is quite necessary for users who have frequent daily WeChat communication and like to cache movies or TV series in advance.

In terms of performance, Maimang 8 is equipped with Hess Kirin 7 10 processor, which is made up of four A73 large cores and four A53 small cores by 12nm process. The performance intensity can be dynamically adjusted according to the system requirements to achieve the purpose of saving electricity. After testing, with the support of GPU Turbo 2.0, Maimang 8 can run the glory of the king in full frame for a long time. Maimang 8 also has a built-in battery with a capacity of 3400mAh, which can guarantee a full-day battery life under normal use.

Maimang has always attached great importance to product quality and quality, and this time Maimang 8 is no exception. Maimang officially released some hardware reliability testing standards, including components with high daily use frequency, such as power keys, fingerprint keys, screen touch and so on. , are more than 200000 tests. If the user clicks the power button 100 times a day, the service life of Maimang 8 will be at least 5 years, far exceeding our normal replacement cycle.

abstract

Nowadays, the domestic smart phone market has changed from an incremental market to a stock market, and the capital market has returned to rationality. Small brands either choose to rely on big trees to breathe, or they have to seek vitality in the last position in the fierce market competition.

As a mid-range product series with Huawei's pricing close to the people, Maimang also integrates the channel advantages of operators and is the mainstay of Huawei's overall mobile phone shipments. Based on the product quality, Maimang 8 inherits the functional characteristics of Huawei's flagship model as a differentiated selling point, and then caters to the needs of young consumers and improves the functional details. It is not difficult to see that Maimang has found his own position in the big environment, and I believe the market will give positive feedback soon.
