IT168 evaluation coolpad devoted itself to developing dual-network dual-standby mobile phones in the 2G era, and achieved good results. in the 3G era, as one of the most important mobile phone manufacturers in China, coolpad left people with the impression that on the one hand, it performed well in the 3G field, and on the other hand, it was a smart phone focusing on the Windows CE kernel. This 891 is the latest flagship model of Coolpad, which adopts luxurious materials, high-end Sharp HD screen and supports TD-SCDMA network, and is the latest 3G flagship model of China Mobile.

▲ coolpad's latest smartphone 891 has been exposed many times before

coolpad's latest smartphone 891 has been exposed many times before, but no more clear pictures about this phone have been leaked except the exposed original design drawings and photos posted on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Today, our IT168 mobile phone channel exclusively brings you a picture of Coolpad's latest TD flagship model 891. Yesterday, we saw the picture of our it168 exclusive dedication. Today, Xiaobian brings you the first national evaluation of Coolpad 891. I believe that after reading the evaluation, everyone will have an updated understanding of this TD flagship mobile phone.

▲ Coolpad 891 adopts WindowsCE6. system

Not long ago, Mobile and Coolpad released the first OPhone mobile phone Coolpad 89. When Xiaobian first got this phone, it felt very similar to the previous 89 in appearance. Is the Cool 891 phone an upgraded version of the 89 phone? This is not the case. The 891 mobile phone is easily confused with the 89 mobile phone only in terms of model and appearance. The two mobile phones are completely different in terms of process design, functional application and user experience, including system.

▲3.5-inch Sharp large screen, full viewing angle of 16 million high-definition WVGA resolution

Cool 891 is carefully crafted according to the standards of art, inspired by luxury watches, and built according to the concept of luxury watches. In production, many links are hand-produced. Cool 891 adopts a 3.5-inch Sharp large screen with a full viewing angle of 16 million high-definition WVGA resolution, and implements an innovative ecological dual-screen design. The intelligent sub-screen has become a brand-new design style of Cool.

The standards of artworks are carefully crafted

More and more high-end models have chosen the shape of large-screen touch, and the fashionable appearance+large-screen touch is one of the elements that mobile phones must follow nowadays. Only by putting enough effort into the appearance of mobile phones will they give users a good first impression and make people interested in continuing to pay attention. From the perspective of design, it is really extraordinary. The perfect combination of exquisite craftsmanship, strict materials, extreme innovative ideas and the carving of works of art has made the encounter between art and luxury, and achieved the supreme honor and distinguished identity of Cool 891. Mirror, paint and metallic workmanship are all reflected.

12? 58? The measurement ratio of 11.8mm is moderate, and most people can hold it well, while the weight of 155g also gives people a calm feeling. The neat fuselage lines and steady black and gold color matching make a business atmosphere come to the fore. The whole glass panel on the front of the fuselage can't resist the invasion of fingerprints, and the twill design on the back of the fuselage greatly enhances the hand-held feeling.

innovative ecological double external screen design

3.5-inch WVGA touch screen, 16 million colors of Sharp full-view HD ASV screen with a resolution of 48? 8 pixels, powerful 3D acceleration and high-definition 72P video output. At the bottom, there is a sub-display screen that can display time information, and the luxurious materials are integrated with extremely fine manual design, which is more exquisite.

▲3.5-inch WVGA touch screen +.91-inch PMOLED secondary screen

We can see a .91-inch, 128? 32-pixel PMOLED secondary screen. The main purpose of this screen is to grasp the time at any time without lighting the screen. When the screen is lit, the sub-screen below will be dimmed.

flagship mobile phone with extremely high configuration

Coolpad 891 is a flagship mobile TD mobile phone with extremely high configuration. In terms of system, it continues to adopt Windows CE system, and has built-in 8 million high-definition cameras, which support intelligent face smile recognition and continuous tracking focusing technology. The only pity is that there is no flash, but the overall performance is good. In terms of hardware, 8MHz main frequency and 512 memory ensure smooth operation. Coupled with the support of TD-SCDMA and CMMB TV functions, it has reached the high-end level of TD models as a whole.

Exquisite detail design

If you want to call Coolpad 891 a work of art, not only the overall design of the shape should conform to a work of art, but also the details of the fuselage should be meticulously crafted. At the top of the Cool 891 screen, we can see the sub-camera function that supports 3G video calls. At the left end of the screen is the G3 logo of China Mobile, and next to it is a light sensor, which can automatically adjust the brightness of the screen according to the intensity of surrounding light. The design of the receiver is simple and there is no special decoration, but the call volume is clear and satisfactory.

▲ Detailed design of Coolpad 891 fuselage

Most of the front area is designed as a mirror. Under the large touch screen, we can see the English LOGO of Coolpad and a touch button, corresponding to the home page function. It is worth mentioning that the logos of Coolpad and G3 are all laser-treated, which will reflect different colors of light when viewed from different directions, so as to embellish the slightly dull front.

▲3.5-inch WVGA touch screen +.91-inch PMOLED sub-screen

The side size is 11.8mm, although it is not ultra-thin, Xiaobian personally thinks that for a high-end flagship mobile phone, it will lack a calm feeling if it is too thin. The side of Cool 891 separates the front and back with black and gold lines, and the visual effect is very good, but there are few functional settings on the side.

▲ Cool 891

There are no function buttons on the left side of the fuselage, and there is also no simple power button on the top of our common fuselage. Finally, on the right side of the fuselage, we saw the on/off key, and felt that the key stroke was a little short, but it would not affect the normal use. Our common volume adjustment button is not added to the side of the fuselage.

▲ On/Standby button on the right side of the fuselage

In addition, we can see a USB interface at the bottom of the fuselage, which is a part-time earphone/charging/transmission task, and the standard design is also convenient for us to use. There are no camera shortcuts and standard earphone holes in the fuselage. I hope to see these improvements in the next upgraded product.

▲ MiniUSB interface at the bottom

Because it is a TD flagship product customized by China Mobile, it naturally supports CMMB of China Mobile, so we saw a hidden CMMB telescopic antenna at the left bottom of the fuselage. However, the back of the fuselage is not equipped with a bracket, so it may be necessary to hold it in hand or find a place that can be squared.

▲CMMB TV antenna

After seeing the simple body design of Coolpad 891, let's take a look at the back design of the body. There is no complicated design on the back of Cool 891, and the back cover with matte visual effect that echoes the front is the material composition of the back cover. The design of twill makes the friction between the back and the hand great, and it is not easy to slip from the hand. You can clearly see the cool English LOGO on the back in the twill design on the back of the fuselage.

▲ Design of the back of the fuselage

The most conspicuous thing on the back of the fuselage is an 8-megapixel camera, but unfortunately it is not equipped with a flash. The thin rectangular camera is surrounded by a circle of Phnom Penh, which makes the dull back have a touch of aura. Cameras without lens cover are easy to hang flowers, so you should pay attention to them during use. Independent speakers are located at the edge of the fuselage, and the external volume and sound quality are good.

▲ 8 megapixel+speaker

The back cover of the fuselage is made of plastic, but it looks metallic. You can open the back cover by holding it down by hand and sliding it down. Coolpad also carefully indicates the direction with arrows for users.

▲ Battery compartment design

We can see the battery compartment design of the whole fuselage by opening the back cover. The battery compartment design is divided into two parts, the top is a SIM card slot and the bottom is a 13mAh lithium battery equipped by Coolpad for this flagship product. The area of the battery occupies most of the battery compartment design.

Maybe you will ask, where is the MicroSD card slot? Open the SIM card slot, we can see the MicroSD card slot, which is located under the SIM card. This design saves space, but it does not support hot drawing. Coolpad uses a thin icon to indicate how to open the SIM card slot and how to place the MicroSD card under the battery.

windows CE 6.+ rich Widget component

Coolpad 891 was launched as the flagship TD mobile phone. Built-in rich China mobile characteristic business. In terms of system, the machine adopts the latest version of Windows CE6. operating system, which not only maintains the original big icon touch style, but also is deeply optimized due to the cooperation of China Mobile. The design of 3D interface and small plug-in has everything. 3.5-inch WVGA touch screen, 16 million colors of Sharp full-view high-definition ASV screen with a resolution of 48? 8 pixels, with powerful 3D acceleration screen display is very delicate.

gives people a sense of deja vu in terms of interface and so on, with a sense of freshness. For example, the design of unlocking is very interesting. When the user touches his finger on the touch screen, he will hear a loud sound of falling into the water, and a circle of ripples will appear near the user's finger. You can unlock it by swiping your finger on the screen.

▲ Unlocking the interface and displaying Widget components

There are four shortcuts at the bottom of the desktop, which correspond to the dial, information and communication Widgets. The entire menu interface of Coolpad 891 is a tiled menu similar to Apple's. You can turn pages by sliding your fingers left and right. The same support functions can be transposed.

Speaking of Widget component, I have to talk about weather plug-in that comes with Coolpad. Users can customize the local weather and keep abreast of the local weather. At the same time, users can also customize the weather in many places to prepare for travel. At the same time, users of Coolpad 891 can choose dynamic weather in the menu interface, and the weather effect is very realistic and delicate.
