Double-sided glass slim body 5-inch Huawei P7 review

At 8 pm on May 7, Beijing time, Huawei’s end point released its new P series mobile phone P7 in France, which is the same as last year’s P6, which is a continuation of Huawei’s own definition of "fashion mobile phone" series.

P7 Appearance:

Huawei P7 is an upgraded version of the previous generation of products, using the same design language to make the two phones look similar. But when you hold it in your hand, you can find that the P7 has been replaced with materials, improved workmanship, and better details, and this change is carried through all parts of the body.

It is still the front and rear flat shape and C-shaped bottom, still similar to the iPhone 4 metal frame. But in the hand and the previous generation of products are different, the first is the front, the screen has been upgraded from 4.7-inch 720P screen to 5.0-inch full high definition screen (1920X1080 resolution), the pixel density has reached 445PPI, and the integration of touch panel and LCD panel In-cell screen, which makes it more sensory.

The front and rear sides of the P7 use third-generation Corning glass as the outermost material, which is more scratch-resistant, and the designers extended the glass down a little, almost reaching the bottom C-shaped edge. When the screen is turned off, the front of the fuselage is completely covered by glass, and the overall effect is excellent.

The biggest improvement in the appearance of Huawei P7 comes from the back, and this is also the most conspicuous part of the P7 body. The previous generation’s easy-to-peel metal brushed back has been changed to glass, and the inner layer has added texture. At the same time, there are oleophobic coatings on both sides, which can keep the fuselage in a relatively clean state, rather than greasy and sweat.

Minor improvements are made throughout the Huawei P7, such as the side, which is still brushed metal, but its workmanship is much better than that of the P6: the metal chamfers are handled properly, and there is no longer a feeling of rowing hands. The weird, plugged headphone port in the lower left corner of the P6 body has finally returned to its normal design and has been moved to the top of the body.

The few physical buttons of the Huawei P7 are placed on the right side of the fuselage. The brighter one is the round power button in the middle. For a five-inch phone with a body length of 139.8 mm, the power button is more appropriate here. When holding the phone normally, the thumb is placed here to light up the screen.

Although this button seems to borrow from Sony’s phone design, Huawei has also made some modifications of its own, such as it does not protrude outward like Sony, and a small pit is taken out where the power button is located. This half-millimeter detail allows the button to have more keystroke and allows it to be flush with the volume button above, maintaining its appearance.

Because it is an integrated body, the SIM card slot and microSD card slot of the Huawei P7 are placed on the side of the fuselage, and the two card slots with almost the same shape make people who come into contact with this phone for the first time mistakenly believe that it is a dual card. A major problem is that without any logo on the outside, users may confuse the two card slots.

The appearance design of P7 is a smooth upgrade for P6, double-sided glass, finer craftsmanship makes the texture of P7 in the hand improve a lot, in addition to the hand feeling, although this metal right-angled edge design from the beginning of the iPhone 4 appears simple and neat, but straight up and down It is inevitable that there will be a slight hand feeling, fortunately, the 68.8 mm wide fuselage is not difficult to grasp with one hand, and the weight of the 124 gram fuselage is also lighter, so that the palm pressure is not big, relieving the hand feeling.

System and interface:

Huawei P7 uses Android 4.4.2 system plus Huawei Emotion UI 2.3 interface.

After several upgrades, the current Emotion UI is much more mature than the original version. It is a simple hierarchical relationship between the menu and the desktop. Take the default theme as an example, most of the icons and most of the button elements have been flattened, which is in line with the current aesthetic concept of most people. Of course, if you don’t like it, there are other style themes to choose from. In addition to a few local themes, there are also online theme downloads.

In addition, Huawei has also prepared a "simple style". After switching, the Android interface full of rounded rectangular application icons will be simplified into a porcelain interface similar to the WindowsPhone system. In fact, we prefer to call it "the elderly interface", which removes the gorgeous switching effect and restores the theme to the simplest style, with larger fonts and buttons. Suitable for the elderly or when driving, it is relatively power-saving.

The TD-LTE version of Huawei’s P7 was only an engineering prototype, so there were not many built-in applications. One of the more interesting ones was "Remote Camera", an application developed by Huawei itself. Under the same local area network, the phone could be used as a remote camera or remote control.

Recently, manufacturers including HTC, Samsung, and others have integrated the information flow reading function on the desktop. Huawei has also made a similar attempt, but it has taken a different approach and integrated this function into the unlock interface.

When this function is turned on, each time the screen is lit, the user will see a different wallpaper (covering fashion, travel, sports, cars, etc., user-selectable categories), swipe up to have some information about this wallpaper interpretation introduction, and can manually change the next or favorite wallpaper, if you click "More" can also share; users are interested in this content, you can also click to download the application that provides this information.

It should be said that Huawei’s idea is not bad. These wallpapers and content are provided by third parties, and Huawei provides an obvious entry point.

It combines several function points such as screen unlock, wallpaper, fragmented reading, and app download. It is a light reading + app promotion method. If the user wants to see more, it will also guide the user to install the client side that provides content. This is a good idea when all kinds of fancy unlocking methods make users numb.

However, sometimes, clicking on the relevant application does not directly link to the content directly related to the wallpaper, but goes to the list page of an application. After browsing it, you will find that the wallpaper is only a selected fragment of the application, not a table of contents.

There are four function buttons under the "magazine unlock" interface, reminiscent of the control center of the iOS. Huawei puts the four commonly used functions of "calendar", "calculator", "flashlight" and "mirror" here. The first three are very easy to understand. The last one is actually to start the front-facing camera. Huawei arranges this application to cater to the definition of P7 "fashion", but if the following four applications can be defined by the user, it is actually better.

Take a photo:

P7 configuration is a 13 million pixel main camera, F2.0 aperture. The camera interface is not fancy, more comprehensive functions, common HDR, panorama, skin beauty, continuous shooting selection, voice-activated photography and other functions are supported.

We choose a sunny afternoon to go out and shoot. In order to be closer to the general user’s habits, all photos are in smart mode, with the highest photo quality, HDR is turned off, and the flash setting is automatic (in fact, such light does not require a flash).

Open the real sample, you can see that the white balance of this lens is not bad, the saturation is slightly high but acceptable, but I don’t know if it is because of the engineering prototype, the photos taken by the P7 in our hands are generally smeared. In the following pictures, you can obviously see that the green leaves are not recognizable. In this way, the photo is fine on a mobile phone with a 5-inch full high definition screen, and it is enough to share it on social media, but it is not good to see it on a computer.

The photo smearing phenomenon taken by other 13 million pixel mobile phones will not be so obvious, and Huawei still seems to need some tuning and optimization of this lens.

Regarding the hardware:

Huawei P7 uses HiSilicon Kirin 910T processor, which is a quad-core processor with a main frequency of 1.8GHz, with 2GB RAM and 16GB body storage space, and supports microSD card expansion. Compared with the 1.6Hz main frequency Kirin 910 used by Huawei Honor X1, there is an extra "T" behind the 910, but the main frequency has been increased a little, and other aspects have not changed.

For users who care about performance, the processor is the biggest improvement of Huawei P7 compared to the previous generation. The HiSilicon K3V2 with serious heat on the P6 has finally been replaced, and the GPU part has also been replaced with Mali-450 MP, which is much better than the performance of the previous generation’s non-mainstream Vivante GC series.

The processor process has been upgraded from 40nm to 28nm, and the obvious improvement is the decrease in heat generation. In the past, the P6 used the back of the fuselage for more than ten minutes to connect the metal frame to the hot hand. At room temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, the Huawei P7 played video for an hour and only felt slightly warm, without any discomfort.

When the power management is set to "intelligent power saving" (which is the default and the most commonly used usage scenario for most users), the running score of Huawei P7 is about 25,000 points. It is 36,000 points behind the current top Snapdragon 801 processor, but the P7 is positioned as a fashionable rather than a "fever phone". Its fluency and processor performance can already meet the general user requests.

Wireless capabilities and power:

P7 is a mobile phone that supports China Mobile TD-LTE 4G network and is backward compatible with TD-SCDMA 3G network. In roaming state, it can also be compatible with FDD-LTE standard 4G network and WCDMA 3G network; as for WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc. have become routine configurations, no need to go into details.

Huawei has equipped the P7 with a 2500mAh battery, which is not small for a 6.8mm thick phone. It can last for a day and a half under light use, but for most people, a daily charge is still essential, and heavy users need to equip it with a mobile power supply. After all, the battery is not replaceable.

Summarize:

Since the Ascend P1 in 2012, Huawei’s end point has begun to pay attention to design, trying to change people’s inherent impression that Huawei can only do low-key and low-cost carrier customized machines through the direction of "fashion". And this attention to design has reached a very important level in Huawei’s end point during the P6.

The P7 is a targeted improvement on the previous generation P6. It restores some of the strange designs (such as the headphone port position) on the previous generation of products to normal, and improves the workmanship. It replaces the processor to solve the worrying heating problem on the P6, and brings the hardware to the level of a mainstream mobile phone this year.

With these, the P7 experience is much better than the previous generation of products. If there are shortcomings, the most easily complained should be that the P7 design is similar to the P6. The current user requirements are getting higher and higher, and they always hope that the new generation of products is a big change.

Dark Blue G318 Car Market "Traveler"

The design of the deep blue G318 is very original, and it is obviously different from other square box models. The G318 has a length of more than 5 meters, air suspension, and a deep blue super range extension system, with a fuel consumption of 6.7L and a comprehensive battery life of more than 1000 kilometers.

The large space, empty suspension, and range extension system are quite similar to the ideal L-series model, but this similarity is limited to the driving experience in the city. The G318 does not have the ideal refrigerator or color TV, but expands its off-road capabilities. It is equipped with a four-wheel drive system with dual motors in full working conditions, and is equipped with a central stepless differential lock and a magnetic mechanical differential lock. Although it does not have a girder, it has 45000Nm/deg torsional stiffness, which allows it to easily handle some ordinary off-road road conditions.

In addition to having stronger off-road capabilities than city SUVs, the greater advantage of the Deep Blue G318 is reflected in providing consumers with a wealth of travel scenarios. In urban life, it can provide good driving comfort. In camping life, it provides functions such as one-click leveling of the chassis, 6 kW external discharge power, and the original factory’s own camping lights. In addition, the G318 also comes with a 1.6T traction qualification, which can tow bicycles, kayaks, motorcycles, RVs, etc., creating more colors for travel life.

China Consumer Association evaluates 30 mobile power supplies, and 4 effective output capacities do not match the marked values

  As mobile phone performance enhances

  Screen enlargement

  The battery life of mobile phones is inevitably stretched thin

  The battery never seems to be enough

  Anxiety is always on the road

  Mobile phone parties generally have mobile phone battery shortage anxiety

  The 20% that turn red should be anxious

  Only 50% of the half grid is left to worry about

  Only more than 90% will rest assured

  Therefore, mobile power is a commonly used device by many people

  And how to choose

  Most consumers only look at the style, capacity or shell material

  Little is known about the detailed features

  In recent years, mobile power safety accidents have occasionally occurred. On July 1, 2018, the recommended national standard for mobile power was officially implemented. To this end, the China Consumers Association, together with the Shenzhen Consumer Committee (including the Futian District Consumer Committee), carried out comparative tests on some mobile power products from mainstream online platforms and offline brick and mortar stores.

  Test summary preview

  ☆ All 30 samples have guaranteed safety protection functions (overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit protection, drop test are tested according to national standards, and all pass the customs)

  ☆ Comprehensive comparison, the cost performance of domestic brands is outstanding

  ☆ The effective output capacity of 26 samples at room temperature is consistent with the product marked value

  ☆ 26 samples have incomplete identification information to varying degrees

  Comparison test sample

  30 mobile power samples, involving 27 brands (in no particular order): Patriot, Baseus, Baseus, First Guard, Dianxiaoer, DiBike, Philips, Fengming Jiapin, Scud, Huawei, Kagel, Romas, Lvlian, Meizu, mophie, Pinsheng, Samsung, Sony, Jiani, Shangrui, Titaxin, Taidian, Wopin, NetEase Yanxuan, Xiaomi, Yimo, etc.

  Test standards and methods

  This comparative test is based on: GB31241-2014 "Safety Requirements for Lithium-ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products", GB/T35590-2017 "General Specifications for Mobile Power Supplies for Information Technology Portable Digital Devices", SJ/T11364-2014 "Restricted Use Labeling Requirements for Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" and SZTT/06960001-2016 "General Technical Requirements for Portable Mobile Power Supplies".

  The test content involves 13 project metrics in three categories: security, label identification, and performance. (See the figure below for details)

  01

  Domestic brands perform well and are the most cost-effective

  In the 10 samples with the highest comprehensive score, domestic brands account for nine seats!

  The performance of 30 samples was compared, and 3 samples were rated with five stars

  The performance test of the samples in this comparison test includes cell capacity, effective output capacity at room temperature, charging time, charging and discharging temperature, output voltage and current, etc. The comprehensive evaluation of the test results shows that 22 samples have received more than 4 stars, of which 3 are five-star samples, namely Samsung EB-P300C, Huawei AP09Q, and BST-0137DA.

  Battery capacity: The battery capacity of a mobile power supply is an important indicator of the performance of the battery inside a mobile power supply. The most direct feeling of the battery capacity is the length of time the mobile power supply is used, which is also one of the reasons why consumers have the most complaints and disputes in this regard. The battery capacity is not equal to the actual capacity used, but it affects the actual capacity used.

  The test results revealed that 21 samples met or exceeded the nominal value and received five-star praise.

  When the mobile power supply is working, it has to go through multiple losses such as step-down, step-up process and protection board circuit, and the final output capacity is the actual capacity used by the consumer.

  Among the 30 mobile power supply samples tested this time, 26 of the samples met the requirements for effective output capacity, which was consistent with the label.

  The charging time mainly depends on the time required to fully charge the mobile power supply. A longer charging time indicates that the mobile power supply has a shorter service life and requires too much time to charge the mobile power supply. At the same time, there is a risk of other accidents during the longer charging process.

  The charging time of the 30 mobile power supplies this time meets the maximum theoretical charging time of the product, and the 5 models achieve five-star evaluation, and the charging time is shorter.

  The charging and discharging temperature mainly examines the surface temperature of the metal and plastic parts on the surface of the mobile power supply during charging and discharging. If the temperature is high, it may burn the user of the mobile power supply or hurt the surrounding items. In severe cases, it may cause the mobile power supply to naturally cause fires and explosions, which seriously endanger the lives and property of consumers.

  This time, the charging and discharging temperature test of 30 mobile power supplies fully meets the standard requirements, and the temperature of the Kagel B20000 sample during charging and discharging has won five-star praise.

  Output voltage and current This project mainly evaluates whether the output voltage and current value of the mobile power supply product is stable when it is working. The unique feature of the mobile power supply and the ordinary battery is that it has a boost system. The working voltage of the ordinary battery is between 2.75V and 4.2V. This voltage cannot be directly charged to the mobile device. A boost system must be used to boost it to (5 ± 0.5) V to charge the mobile device normally.

  This time, the output current of 30 mobile power supplies meets the marked value, and the comprehensive evaluation of the output voltage of 30 power supplies, Sojani S200, received 4.5 stars.

  Samples can withstand short circuit protection, overcharge protection, overdischarge protection and free drop test

  30 mobile power supply samples have been tested for short-circuit protection, overcharge protection, overdischarge protection, and free drop, without leakage, leakage, rupture, fire, and explosion. They can work normally after the short-circuit and overcharge state is over. Most of the samples performed well in the shell flame retardant test.

  04

  There are 26 samples with labels with varying degrees of information shortage

  Labels should include two aspects: the first is the restricted use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products; the second is the label content on the product packaging.

  After inspection, only 4 of the 30 samples met the content of all label identification items (Sony SONYCP-V10B, Pinsheng TS-D151, Kagel B20000, Wopin P20Q), and the remaining 26 samples were missing product information to varying degrees.

  05

  Safe, easy to use, easy to carry, summary of 30 power supply sizes

  This comparison test conducted actual statistics on the weight, size, shell material, interface and indicator light of the sample, giving the product a more intuitive appearance comparison parameter, and playing a guiding role for consumers with different needs. This time, the weight, size and shell material of 30 mobile power supplies are compared. The two power supplies of Shangrui UP-40E and Dibiko ALiG3 are light in weight, small in size, and have better portability than other models.

At the beginning of 2024, BYD took the lead in launching a series of glory models, with the achievement exceeding 300,000 units in March. After ensuring stable sales, BYD will launch a number of models this year to improve its model matrix. Qin L, Hai Shi 07 EV and other models have high attention. Judging from the current exposure information, BYD Qin L is expected to be officially listed after the auto show. Then, does the brand-new design, DM5.0 hybrid system and other labels make Qin L hope to make a breakthrough in the medium-sized auto market? At the same time, from the current news, the starting price of Qin L is expected to be around 120,000 yuan. If the price is around 120,000 yuan, will it have a chance to become an "explosion"?

The performance of product strength is particularly important in the current market. First of all, from the appearance design, the brand-new "Jianyao Purple" is more fashionable in color matching, the shape of the front of the car has a high degree of recognition, the raised ribs on the engine room cover emphasize a certain sense of muscle, the shape of the air intake grille is more rounded, the black middle net is decorated with lattice chrome-plated decorative strips to emphasize the texture, and the slender decorative strips are also decorated above it, and the Chinese character logo of "Qin" is also embossed. The design of the headlight group is angular, which is similar to the visual effect after the "fangs" light strip is lit. The design of the real vents on both sides can play the role of combing the airflow, and the air intake is relatively slender.

The posture of the car body is a little similar to that of BYD Han. The length, width and height of the new car are 4830/1900/1495mm respectively, and the proportion of windows in the car body is not very high, which creates a certain sports attribute. Moreover, it is decorated with silver decorative strips, and the prominent waistline keeps a certain angle of inclination, which enriches the layering of the car body with the exaggerated rib line at the lower skirt position. The wheel hub shape of the high-profile model is exquisite, and the wheel hub shape of the low-profile model is compared with that of Qin Plus DM-I.

The shape of the rear of the car is towering, which looks a little Coupe from the rear at 45 degrees. The taillight group adopts a penetrating design, and the internal lens is in the style of Chinese knot. After lighting, it echoes the headlight group. The design of the diversion grooves on both sides is exaggerated, and the rear enclosure is decorated with a wide guard plate, which enhances the visual center of gravity. From the appearance design, Qin L’s face value is online.

In terms of interior, BYD Qin L’s interior style is calm and generous, the T-shaped center console has a clear sense of hierarchy, the 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel can display clear data, and the suspended central control panel has built-in Dilink intelligent networked car system. It is a pity that it is not equipped with Dilink 100 car system, but there will be an opportunity to upgrade OTA later. Most of the details in the car are decorated with bright black decorative strips to enhance the sense of grade, and the shape is round, and the Chinese character logo of "Qin" is decorated in the middle. The layout of the console area is similar to that of the new one. The shape of the electronic shift lever is decent. The periphery of the high-equipped model is equipped with a 15W wireless charging module. In addition, the cup holder and storage space are all equipped, and the small details are handled well.

The wheelbase of the new car is 2790mm, and the front seats are generous in shape, supporting functions such as heating/ventilation, and the inclination of the rear seats is moderate, and they are filled with soft materials, with good supporting performance and ideal riding comfort.

Andy Lau’s movie with zero pay, the finale!

A movie released six years ago recently had a real-life finale.

[Lost orphan]The prototype character of Guo Gangtang, with the help of the public security organs, was finally found24 yearsThe son.

In the past 24 years, he has cycled more than 500,000 kilometers on the road, traveled to dozens of provinces, and scrapped 10 motorcycles, never giving up.

Just as the old Lei played by Andy Lau in the movie said,"Only on the road do I feel like a father."

When the film was released in 2015, Guo Gangtang booked the venue and sat in front of the cinema, crying.

Now, the father received the most fulfilling reply from fate:

The son, who was only two years old when he was lost, grew up safely and healthily, and received a good education.

The reunion of Guo Gangtang’s family of three benefited from the efforts of the public security organs to combat trafficking, and was also related to the social influence of the film "Lost Orphan".

Director Han Sanyuan highly restored Guo Gangtang’s experience of finding children, which aroused widespread concern in the society about anti-trafficking.

Whether it is reminding "parents to take good care of their children" or influencing "human traffickers to commit one less crime", it is worth it.

As a mass medium, film itself has the ability to "intervene in reality and change reality".

It’s short film season.Screening units launched this monthUniversal Film Festival FeaturedAmong them, there are many realistic films such as [Lost Orphan].

They focus on reality, examine reality, reflect reality, and it would be great if they could use images to promote the solution of social problems.

The short film "Reenactment" is well-conceived and reflects another reality with reality.

In one murder case, the female victim was stuffed into a suitcase and transported to the wild.

There, she was muzzled, beaten, raped, and finally sunk in a pond.

The police took the alleged offender to the scene and asked him to recount the crime to the puppet.

The alleged offender calmly explained every step of the crime to the camera of the law enforcement recorder, as if it had nothing to do with him.

There was only one female police officer present, who was occasionally targeted by others.

And by that deadly pond, the policewoman heard the most terrifying words.

The director, Laurinas Barreza, uses the most restrained cinematic vocabulary and tells the story directly, but the situation of the policewoman is like a small pebble accidentally drilled into her shoes, which makes people feel uncomfortable and can’t get rid of it.

The film was shortlisted for the short film competition at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, and also won two awards for Best Short Drama at the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival and Best International Short at the Guanajuato International Film Festival.

The Berlin International Film Festival has long focused on political and social reality films, and the shortlist for "Reenactment" has proved its ability to restore real-world issues.

The director’s first short film, "Poolside", was also a reality film and was shortlisted for the Horizon section of the Venice Film Festival in 2017

It is also a female reality theme, and female directors handle it differently.

The short film "Cornfields" takes place in a turbulent and dangerous India for women.

There was a "black bus case" that the world will never forget.

The protagonist of "Cornfield" is a mother of two children, young and beautiful.

From time to time, male gazes descended on her, such as strangers smoking in abandoned buildings and shepherds looking malicious on the ridges.

Her husband is lazy and has a temper and never takes her seriously.

"Unexpected Out of Control" is as small as big as "Cornfield", fixing the camera on the street with the most human fireworks.

The first three minutes are full of voiceovers, street lights are on at night, and people sit in front of stalls eating and chatting.

However, not everyone is fortunate enough to enjoy ordinary human fireworks.

The fixed camera slowly focuses on three middle-aged men who have no worries about life. They rub and collide with various little people on the street, and a series of highly dramatic short stories take place.

The cruel reality is far beyond the fixed lens, and through side description and auxiliary narrative, the folded real world is unfolded, leaving the audience to feel it for themselves.

"The Gift" takes a more concrete perspective, showing us how a family living on the Palestinian border lives.

Palestinian supplies are in short supply, and every time the family purchases daily necessities, they have to cross the layers of questioning at border checkpoints and go to another city.

This day was the couple’s wedding anniversary, and the lovely daughter made a list and went shopping with her father.

But the soldiers on duty were unruly and unreasonable, so they detained their father for a while before releasing him.
