Thousand Yuan 5G Real Fragrant Machine ——realme Q2 Experience Report

2020 is a year of rapid development of 5G mobile phones. With the entry of more and more cheap products, the high-priced image of 5G has been gradually broken. As a "dare to leap" brand, realme has long announced that it will fully cut into 5G in 2020 and will no longer launch 4G products. Indeed, realme has also become a domestic 5G mobile phone manufacturer with a price of less than 1000 yuan, and soon launched V3 with a price of 999 yuan, which has taken an important step on the road of 5G popularization.

Around the consumption hotspot of the Double Eleven, realme has bears, and has brought Q series iterations-Q2i, Q2 and Q2 Pro on the basis of "Ollie" V5. The price positioning is accurate, covering directly from 998 to 1799, and even achieved considerable price reduction during the Double Eleven period. The surprise configuration and the absence of Redmi and Glory made it very competitive in the price range of 1000, with sales exceeding 300,000 units. Anyway, I couldn't resist the price of this good wine, and finally decided to have a large glass. I've been through it for a while, so let's see what this Q2 looks like.

If "leapfrog" is not enough to describe realme, I think we can add "Wan Chao", which is definitely a manufacturer who can keep up with the trend. Just as the emergence of Q2 embodies this concept, you can see many popular elements from it.

First of all, the common single-hole design (the aperture is close to 5 mm) is adopted in front, and the impression of relative hollowing out will be much better.

The LCD screen with chin at this price is normal, but if it is put together with Xiaomi 8 using organic light-emitting diodes, it still has a little advantage.

Turning to the back, the design of the big logo is destined not to be missed, attracting attention, being cooler and younger. Why not use a normal little logo? It can be seen that realme dares to break the rules. This is a very confident manufacturer. Moreover, unlike the ordinary plastic back shell, Q2 adopts super coating optical technology and a new generation of AG flow coating effect on the surface, which shows the delicate feel at once and is not easy to see fingerprints. The contact mask exposure process is also adopted in the logo area, which can present a three-dimensional equidistant depth with the change of light and shadow, as if it would flow.

This time realme launched two color versions, namely, Blade Runner and Surfing Blue Boy. After listening to this name, you will find that the product is younger.

The camera module with matrix design is in the upper left corner, but vertical production is not impossible. Besides, there are not many bumps.

Q2 is a LCD screen, so there is a special groove on the side, and the hidden side fingerprint identification scheme is adopted, and the power fingerprint is combined into one. Although there is only a small one, as long as a finger touches it, the phone will be unlocked quickly, faster than the fingerprint on the screen and with good accuracy.

The bottom of the phone is a Type-C interface, and there is an extremely advanced 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is well received! There is also a single speaker design on the right.

Although the design of FRP middle frame and plastic back shell is adopted, it is polished smoothly and has no obvious feel. The weight of194g and the body thickness of 9. 1 mm may not be so satisfactory, but it seems to be better in the face of a large number of mobile phones over 200g on the market. And it is equipped with a large battery of 5000mAh, which is acceptable for me to hold.

Realme Q2 uses Tianji 800U, which is a popular 5G SoC recently launched by MediaTek, and was first launched in realme X7. It adopts 7nm technology and is designed by eight nuclear, including two 2.4GHz A76 cores and six 2.0GHz A55 cores. GPU is ARM Mali-G57. Although the name is closer to Tianji 800, Tianji 800U is actually an upgraded version of Tianji 720, and does not adopt the same architecture as Tianji 800, but there is not much difference between them in theory. In addition, Q2 is equipped with a memory combination of UFS2. 1+DDR4X.

Ann Bunny's running score is about 330,000, which is similar to Snapdragon's 765G.

In short, the performance is still good, and there is no problem in dealing with daily use. As for the game, the King and the Peace Elite have mentioned it in many tests, so I will open the map of Jiangnan Hundred Scenes that I played recently. Boy, this game can make GPU utilization 100%.

In the aspect of 5G, it has played the advantage of MediaTek, that is, it supports dual-card and dual-mode 5G standby, but now only MediaTek has achieved it, which is quite an advantageous selling point. In addition, Q2 supports N41N77/N78/N79 of NSA and N1N441N78/N79 of SA in the 5G band.

Realme Q2 uses a 6.5-inch LCD screen from JDI with a resolution of 2400 1080 pixels and a frame rate of 20: 9. By the way, there are also common LCD dimming effects around the screen and holes, of course, it is not a big problem under normal viewing angle.

Although it is a 5G mobile phone with a thousand yuan file, Q2 still brings a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. With the quantum animation engine, the most direct feeling brought by the refresh rate of 120Hz is smooth and refreshing, whether it is opening the APP, quitting the APP or switching between applications. This comfortable experience is obvious. Of course, the system also provides an automatic switching mode, which can be switched between 60Hz and 120Hz according to the actual situation, further extending the battery life of the mobile phone. But I still recommend you to use 120Hz. Switching to 60Hz will significantly reduce the smoothness.

The screen is the advantage of Q2, but it also has a big problem, mainly because the blue light is too high, which may easily cause eye discomfort after long-term use, so the eye protection mode really needs to be turned on. But after driving for a long time, I found that this screen is too bright, especially after getting used to the soft screen of Xiaomi 10U, the rich colors make me unbearable.

You need to use your eyes all the time to use your mobile phone, and you can't waste this 5000mAh battery. So how can we make full use of it? I think it is the most suitable for sailing.

Long battery life is the main selling point of this phone. 5000mAh gives me the feeling that I am holding a charging treasure. The batteries in the 5G era are really getting bigger and bigger.

Then I also did a simple test. Under the condition of mobile 5G main network, WiFi, 120Hz, automatic brightness and dynamic wallpaper were used in the whole process, and Bluetooth, GPS and power-saving modes were turned off. It took 4 and a half hours to boot for 2 and a half hours.

Among them, bilibili takes 40 minutes, Weibo 40 minutes, QQ takes QQ 15 minutes, Kuan takes 10 minutes, Jiangnan Bai Jing map takes 16 minutes, system application takes 10 minutes, camera takes 6 minutes, and QQ music plays in the background takes/kloc-0. (The test is based on the factory version A 1 1, and subsequent upgrades may change. Please refer to the actual situation and the results are for reference only. )

At the same time, the system also provides a series of power-saving measures such as super power-saving mode (6 apps can be used), sleep standby optimization, and smart 5G screen power saving. , help to improve endurance. Of course, if it is used as a backup machine, a few days will not be a problem.

In addition, Q2 supports 30W DART flash charging, which makes the charging power of thousand yuan machine comparable to that of flagship machine.

It takes about one hour to charge from 10% to 100%, which is very fast at first, mainly because the trickle time is too long. The speed difference under the main bright screen is not obvious, and there is less fever.

In short, the practice of accelerating the charging of large-capacity batteries will basically not cause you endurance anxiety.

Here is a trade-off question. Compared with the first generation, Q2 has been upgraded in 5G, processor, screen, battery life and fast charging. As a cost-effective mobile phone with a positioning of 1,000 yuan, the price is there and there is no need for a bicycle. Taking photos is not particularly important for many people, so Q2 has been reduced from four in IMX586 to three.

In terms of configuration, the main camera is12 million (48 million) S5KGM 1 f/ 1.8.

Ultra-wide angle: 8 million HI846 f/2.3 1 19 fixed focus.

Macro: 2 million GC02K f/2.4 4cm fixed focus

Preposition:160,000 S5K3P9 f/2. 1 fixed focus

Advantages: first, the main camera can shoot raw format; Second, it provides the option of hypertext, which is very practical; Third, it has its own Cyberpunk filter. Disadvantages: only the main camera zoom is supported.

In video shooting, it supports up to 4K 30 frame recording.

Supports up to 720P 240 frames of slow motion shooting.

Support super anti-shake and super anti-shake max, and the anti-shake effect is ok.

And movie-style games.

Take a random group of photos ~

During the day:

In this era when IMX586 is considered to be relatively backward, Q2 is still on GM 1, and it is difficult for MediaTek to optimize, so it is naturally impossible to expect a good level.

Of course, this is also the normal performance of the price, but the photos taken with Q2 give me the feeling that the color temperature is warmer, especially at dusk.

Super wide angle is a normal effect of 8 million pixels, and it is still valuable to use this lens to make more scenes suitable for photos.

At night (I also found a nut Pro 2s for comparison):

It is best to use a special night scene mode to shoot night scenes. On the one hand, high light suppression is better, on the other hand, it can also brighten the dark parts. However, the holding time is a little longer, and without the blessing of optical image stabilization, it will be burnt if you are not careful. Compared with the nut Pro 2s of IMX363, the bottom of Q2 is bigger, and it also has some advantages in details. However, the ultra-wide angle is weaker at night, so I won't describe it much.

Loss of details, noise and serious smear are the main problems of these two mobile phones. But if you look at these two pictures, you will find that they show the environment at night very well, which is a fact!

Because in the eyes of Xiaomi 10U, the world is like this:

As for the third shot, it is actually what everyone often says. After all, it's only 2 million pixels, not a telephoto macro. In contrast, it is better to use the main lens.

Finally, let's talk about a photo problem: Q2 is too sharp, and the impression will make people doubt its true level. But strangely, after zooming in twice, the sharpening disappeared and the details were better.

Generally speaking, Q2 image system has no problem in recording life and can meet the needs of daily light shooting.

(The test is based on the factory version A 1 1, and subsequent upgrades may change. Please refer to the actual situation and the results are for reference only. )

The motor adopts rotor motor, which feels soft.

Support Dolby panoramic sound, and passed the Hi-Res certification, which can be regarded as normal playback.

No NFC, infrared remote control.

More interestingly, I turned on Bluetooth at the same time and place, and Q2 found more devices than 10U, which was a bit unexpected.

The system uses realme UI, which is the shell version of ColorOS 7. Mainly the theme color was changed to blue, and then a group of icons were reused. Of course, if you don't like it, you can choose to change it in the theme store.

The overall design style of the green factory system is full of minimalism, light and fresh, and the aesthetics are quite online; For MIUI, I feel a little rich. Especially with OPPO Sans font, it is particularly comfortable visually and not greasy to look at.

If I want to switch from MIUI, I can't get used to the minor details. For example, the function aggregation of mobile phone housekeeper is less, the weather warning has no place to turn off, there are few applications supported by applications, it is annoying to install apps, there is no Gaussian ambiguity, and Bai Piao theme is used to it.

Of course, there are also some advantages, such as the bottom switching application has no small bar, sliding to the other side of the screen, flashback key, sidebar, barrage dialogue, screen recording, and active images can be recorded at the same time.

The memory usage is almost the same, and they all start at half. And advertisements and annoying tweets.

And realme UI 2 can be used in June 5438+ 10, and of course, there are some new system applications that can be smuggled and tasted ~

Realme Q2 is a relatively balanced 5G mobile phone with a price of 1000, which can be said to be a good answer made by Realme to the thousand yuan 5G market. Both performance and design are very attractive. Even many core configurations are used in realme's own higher product line, which is the so-called "dare to leapfrog". I believe it is the friendliest model among the 5G entry-level mobile phones, except that the photo and display effects are not so surprising. Of course, as a consumer, I expect realme to bring more fragrant mobile phones in the future.
