In addition to dual cameras, in terms of hardware performance, glory to play 6X is also unambiguous. Equipped with Kirin 655 eight nuclear processor, 4GB of memory is widely used in flagship machine. Now, Glory Play 6X is also equipped with 4GB of running memory (3GB version is optional) to ensure the smooth use experience of the mobile phone in hardware. In the price range below 2000 yuan, Glory also showed high sincerity in playing 6X hardware configuration.
In addition, Glory Play 6X is an all-metal fuselage, and the radian design on the back of the fuselage is more suitable for the palm of your hand. The official said that its design was inspired by "Bezier curve", and the addition of 2.5D glass further optimized the grip. In terms of appearance, it's also interesting to play glory with 6X. Below, we mainly elaborate on the industrial design, hardware performance and actual performance of the camera. Before we begin, let's take a look at the main hardware parameters of Glory Play 6X as usual.

Glory Play 6X uses a 5.5-inch screen, which belongs to the mainstream screen size. At this price, the large memory of 4GB is undoubtedly a highlight of this machine. For young users, Glory Play 6X provides platinum light gold, glacier silver, elegant gray, rose gold and sky blue on the basis of all-metal body to meet individual needs. In the next part, we will further interpret the appearance and industrial design of Glory Play 6X.
Probably since last year, it has become increasingly difficult for major mobile phone products to widen the gap in hardware performance, and the homogenization has become more and more serious. Mobile phone manufacturers pay more and more attention to design and workmanship, and colleagues who meet the needs of users' consumption upgrading are also trying to open the gap with competing products. The metal fuselage is no longer exclusive to the high-end flagship, even on the thousand yuan machine. Has gradually spread. For glory to play 6X, in addition to dual cameras, all-metal body design is also a big selling point. In the official introduction, Glory Play 6X adopts "Bezier Curve Design", which makes the lines of the whole machine the most ergonomic handheld design. After stamping, the back shell has to go through many processing procedures such as CNC and sandblasting. In this part, we will interpret the industrial design of machines, and what is the metaphysics of "Bezier curve" that sounds very tall.
First, let's look at the front of the fuselage. After glory singing bar 6X, the design of the whole machine is quite satisfactory, and there are not many personalized design elements. The bottom of the fuselage is designed with the glorious "honor" logo. This one in my hand is a platinum light gold version with a white front panel. Under the white front panel, you can see that the black edge of the screen of Glory Play 6X is properly controlled and will not be offensive. The front adopts a 5.5-inch 1080P screen and 2.5D glass design to optimize the edge grip and bring a good impression.
In particular, the 2.5D glass of Glory Play 6X does not directly touch the metal body. Glory in the middle 6X was wrapped in a plastic ring. This has two advantages. First, it plays a certain buffering role and reduces the risk of broken screen. The second is to reduce the tolerance and facilitate mass production. But no matter what the design purpose is, the overall appearance and detailed workmanship of Glory Play 6X are satisfactory.
The front top of the fuselage. That is, since last year, following the simple logic of "order produces beauty", symmetrical design has gradually become popular in the mobile phone circle. From left to right, the top of the glory 6X fuselage is a light distance sensor, a receiver and a camera (8 million pixels), but unfortunately it is not designed symmetrically.
Glory Play 6X still uses virtual button design, and the glory brand logo“honor "is printed on the bottom of the front of the fuselage. The back key is set on the left, which is also in line with Google's specifications. But for users who are used to right-handed operation, it is still inconvenient.
On the back of the fuselage, Glory Play 6X adopts a three-stage metal fuselage design, with a large area of metal in the middle and plastic at the upper and lower ends. Because of the different materials, the colors of the two materials are difficult to be exactly the same, which is determined by the material characteristics. Fortunately, the color difference between the two materials on the back of the 6X fuselage is not obvious, which does not affect the overall look and feel. The joint between plastic and metal also reflects a relatively high level of workmanship.
Dual cameras are a big selling point for glory to play 6X. It uses a dual camera combination of12 million+2 million. Dual-camera is an indispensable keyword in the highly competitive mobile phone market of 20 16, and many manufacturers use dual-camera technology in their annual heavy products. 12 megapixel camera is responsible for recording picture information, and 2 megapixel camera is responsible for recording depth of field information. Supporting the digital aperture adjustment of F0.95-F 16 can achieve better and more obvious background blur effect.
Glory Play 6X adopts the back fingerprint recognition touch scheme, and the fingerprint unlocking speed can reach 0.3 seconds. In addition to unlocking the screen, it also supports fingerprints to quickly open Alipay payment QR code, which provides convenience in daily use.
Bezier curve The author made a special search, and Baidu Encyclopedia explained it as "Bezier curve", also known as Bezier curve or Bezier curve, which is a mathematical curve applied to two-dimensional graphics. Bezier curve was published in 1962 by French engineer Pierre Bézier, who used Bezier curve to design the main body of the car. "It can be summarized as drawing a smooth line according to the coordinates of any point in the four positions.
Curve.
According to the official, the design of Glory Play 6X is inspired by Bezier curve, which creates the rounded fuselage radian of Glory Play 6X and brings a good grip that fits the palm of your hand. At the same time, the metal fuselage on the back is stamped, CNC, sandblasting, anodizing and other processes, and finally presents a smooth and delicate touch, which is not astringent or greasy.
The left and right sides of the bottom of the fuselage are respectively openings for speakers and microphones, which are symmetrically designed. The data interface is still a traditional Micro USB interface.
The above part is about the introduction and interpretation of the appearance of Glory Play 6X, which is satisfactory on the whole, and there are not many eye-catching design elements. In this price range, making a breakthrough design is indeed beyond the reach of some people. However, it is also in this price range that Glory has given full sincerity in workmanship by adopting metal fuselage design, and the fuselage color matching and assembly have shown a high standard. Maybe it's not love at first sight, but it really makes people like it more and more.
In terms of hardware performance, Glory Play 6X is equipped with Kirin 655 eight nuclear processor, 4GB LPDDR3 running memory (with 3GB running memory version available) and 64GB eMMc 5. 1 flash memory (with 32GB version available). Kirin 655 processor adopts 16nm technology, and adopts the architecture of four 2. 1GHz A53+4 1.7GHz A5 1+i5 coprocessors. According to the official, compared with the previous generation, the performance is improved by 65%. GPU adopts Mali MP2 T830, and the performance of GPU is improved 100%. We don't introduce this process too much, but let everyone have a general understanding and comparison of processor performance through running test.
Ann Bunny Running Test:
After Ann Bunny's running test, the final score of glory playing 6X is 57076. This rating is roughly equivalent to the Xiaomi mobile phone 4S equipped with Xiaolong 808 processor in Ann Bunny's running score list, which is in line with its product positioning and has no problem for most users' daily use, so you can choose with confidence. However, if you are a heavy mobile phone user, especially a heavy mobile game user, this performance is stretched, which can't meet the needs of running large-scale games (such as NBA 2K 16).
It should also be pointed out that Le Max 2, Xiaomi 5 and Lenovo ZUK Z2 phones equipped with Xiaolong 820 processor can be bought at the same price segment, and the hardware performance of the three phones is almost twice that of Glory Play 6X.
In other aspects, the flagship mobile phone has generally started with 4GB of running memory, and Glory Play 6X is equipped with 4GB of LPDDR 3 running memory (another 3GB version is optional). Due to the long-term non-standard development of Android mobile phone software ecology, it is not uncommon for various applications to be linked and resident in the background (especially Baidu, Tencent and Ali). The device with large memory ensures the smooth operation of the mobile phone to a certain extent, and the machine is not stuck. However, most users don't really know how to prevent rogue behaviors such as applications waking up each other. Large memory is still necessary for most users. Here, I also suggest buying a 4GB memory version.
This one in my hand is a 4GB memory version. In actual use, there is no obvious phenomenon of jamming. Under moderate usage, the remaining available memory of the mobile phone is generally above 2.5GB. To sum up briefly, the overall hardware performance of Glory Play 6X is mediocre, which is enough for most usage scenarios of most users in the current smart phone camp, but it is still difficult to deal with large-scale 3D mobile games.
This year can be said to be a double year. It can be seen that since the beginning of the year, various manufacturers have equipped their flagship models with dual cameras. With the gradual popularization of dual-camera technology, the cost has dropped, and non-flagship or even thousand-yuan models have gradually used dual-camera technology. At present, there are two kinds of common dual cameras in the market: black and white cameras enhance the light to improve the photo quality, and independent cameras record the depth of field information to achieve a more obvious and natural background blur effect. Glory Play 6X belongs to the latter. In this part, let's analyze the performance of Glory Play 6X in taking pictures.
Glory play 6X with12 million+2 million cameras. Among them,120,000 pixel camera is used to record picture information, and another 2 million pixel camera is used to record depth of field information. Through the image processing algorithm, the images taken by two cameras are combined into one, so that the synthesized photos have obvious depth of field information and the main body is more prominent. According to official information, Glory Play 6X also supports digital aperture adjustment of F0.95-F 16.
After a general understanding, let's take a look at the imaging performance of Glory Play 6X through the actual proofs. First of all, let's look at several sets of large aperture background blur proofs.
Glory Play 6X can adjust the aperture in real time when shooting. You can readjust the aperture and focal length when editing later. It's not the first time glory has played 6X like this. HTC One M8 had a similar function before. In the photo above, pull the aperture to the maximum: F/0.95, and select the yellow menu to focus. It can be seen that the foreground is outstanding and the background blur effect is very obvious. But at the same time, some problems have been found. There is obvious waiting time for photo synthesis in actual shooting, which reduces the filming rate (handheld camera needs to be stable) and affects the shooting experience.
In addition, in the above sample, because the aperture is too large, the edge of the subject (menu) is blurred. For ordinary users, it may take many attempts to take satisfactory photos, which increases the use cost to some extent. However, there are advantages. For scenes where the background is relatively far from the main body, playing 6X in glory can achieve a more natural background blur effect.
However, it can be seen from this picture that when shooting objects without obvious boundaries, the background blur effect of glory playing 6X is extremely unnatural. The boundary between virtual and real is very obvious, and there is still room for further optimization of software algorithms. Here are several sets of background blur proofs for everyone to experience.
It can be seen that in actual shooting, if the background is blurred and the edge of the subject is clear, it is not easy to do it through a single lens. Fortunately, you can re-select the focus and re-adjust the aperture size in the later stage to achieve satisfactory results.
Color reproduction. Glory Play 6X color reproduction is more accurate, true and natural, not rich, but also slightly dull. As can be seen from the above sample parameters, in this environment, the ISO of the camera has been raised to 640. In this case, there is obvious noise in the picture, which affects the purity of the picture.
Exposure control. In the complex light source environment, the exposure control of Glory Play 6X is more accurate, the strong light source in the picture has no obvious dispersion, the main body of the picture is clear and the purity is high.
To sum up briefly, the dual cameras mounted on Glory Play 6X can achieve better background blur effect and improve the playability of the camera, but at the same time, it also exposes some shortcomings in the optimization of the synthesis algorithm, which cannot be handled calmly in all shooting scenes. It is also accurate in color reproduction and exposure control. On the whole, the image quality of Glory Play 6X meets its due standards, and the addition of dual cameras is a plus and minus item for Glory Play 6X.
A few years ago, the domestic Android UI market was still dominated by MIUI, and other companies performed unevenly. Today, although MIUI still plays a small role, the performance gap between other Android UIs and MIUI in terms of functionality, aesthetic interface and abortion has become smaller and smaller. Under the premise of ensuring a good basic experience, many Android UIs also have their own characteristics. Glory play 6X running EUI 4. 1 based on Android 6.0. In this part, we will briefly analyze its system UI.
Look at the interface first.
Since iOS 7, the UI style of smartphone system has been flat design. EUI 4. 1 is no exception, and the overall design style is flat. The background of the drop-down menu is also translucent, and the content is dominant, which makes the content to be displayed more prominent. EUI 4. 1 also provides a variety of customizable options in the interface style. In the theme application, besides changing the theme of the system, you can also customize the font, screen lock style and icon of the system separately to meet the individual needs of different users. In addition, in the screen lock interface, EUI 4. 1 integrates the screen lock pictorial, and the HD wallpaper will be automatically changed every time the screen is lit. In terms of interaction, the transition animation of EUI 4. 1 is light and direct, which has a good experience when opening applications and switching interfaces.
As for the basic functions of the system, we take the dial-up application as an example. Dialing supports Pinyin search, so you can find the corresponding contact conveniently and quickly. In fact, this is already the basic function of the domestic Android UI, and the system without this function is really different. On this basis, EUI 4. 1 is further integrated. In the dial-up interface, you can directly pinyin search "hotel", "express", "bank" and other life service phones, which is very complete and practical.
EUI 4. 1 includes the mobile phone housekeeper application. After all, it is a bit uneasy to hand over system security to third-party applications. The mobile phone housekeeper of EUI 4. 1 basically contains all the functions that mobile phone security software should have: cleaning acceleration, traffic management, harassment interception, battery management, authority management and so on. Because Android applications are not standardized, various applications wake up each other, which will occupy a lot of system resources. Mobile phone housekeeper is particularly important, which can minimize unnecessary system resource occupation. Even if Glory Play 6X is equipped with 4GB of memory, 6GB of memory may not be enough if the application is neglected.
Split screen mode. In EUI 4. 1, press and hold the multitask key on the bottom right to enter split screen mode. In split-screen mode, two application interfaces can be displayed at the same time, which realizes the function of watching videos and chatting at the same time, improves the efficiency, and is a reasonable and effective resource utilization for large screens. At present, mainstream applications support split-screen display, but a few applications do not.
Skylink is the characteristic function of EUI 4. 1 No matter at home or abroad, as long as it is a popular area where people are concentrated, there is free wifi, which provides certain convenience for accessing the network at any time. By downloading and installing this application, you can also get WLAN surfing time. It is worth mentioning that Tianlian's global WLAN is a 24-hour gift, which means that in foreign countries, as long as there are WLAN hotspots, you can swim around the network and be online at any time.
Huawei wallet is installed in EUI 4. 1. After adding and activating the bank card in a few simple steps, you can pay on the UnionPay POS machine. Glory Play 6X fingerprint recognition supports the payment function of Huawei wallet, which is easy to operate in actual use.
At present, EUI 4. 1 is satisfactory in interface design, interaction, system function and practicability, and its Huawei wallet function is ahead of most domestic mobile phones. In terms of system security, Huawei Mobile Manager provides a guarantee for the smooth and safe operation of mobile phones. With the addition of functions such as split screen mode, we can see that EUI is constantly enriching and perfecting, striving for completeness.
"Evaluation summary
:12 million+2 million rear dual cameras are the main selling points for glory to play 6X. In the actual experience, I was deeply impressed by the experience of using this mobile phone camera. In most cases, the background blur is obvious and natural, and the subject is prominent, which is more playable than the general single-camera mobile phone. This is a prominent differentiated selling point for a mobile phone with a price of only 999 yuan.
In terms of appearance, although the three-stage metal fuselage design adopted by Glory Play 6X has no particularly outstanding highlights, it is difficult for me to pick out what I am dissatisfied with the overall workmanship and fit, which is an attractive one. The color difference between the upper and lower sections and the metal material in the middle section are properly controlled, and the overall workmanship has reached a relatively high level. In terms of hardware performance, the large running memory of 4GB ensures the smooth running of Glory Play 6X in multi-application situations, even for ordinary users who don't know much about mobile phone application management.
However, by horizontal comparison, at present, the price of many domestic flagships equipped with Xiaolong 820 processor has generally dropped to about10.5 million yuan, and the hardware performance of Xiaolong 820 is about twice that of Kirin 655. Although it is not very kind to compare new products with the flagship of price reduction, it is an aspect that has to be considered in actual purchase. If hardware performance is highly demanded and cost performance is pursued, Glory Play 6X (exclusive edition) may not be the most suitable choice. However, if you have more expectations for taking photos on your mobile phone, it's still worth buying for glory to play 6X.
In addition, in terms of camera experience, Glory play 6X exposes the shortcomings of software algorithm optimization in some scenes, and it is expected to continue to improve in the future.
