ZTE is one of Chinese manufacturer that already going to global market, for a while now ZTE is also built the flagship smartphone that powered by Intel processor, that’s called as ZTE Geek.

ZTE Geek is the awesome products, since this phone has a nice specs, this phone is also offers for only 1888 yuan price or around $308 USD price. And now we have got a review about the ZTE Geek.

Appearance, workmanship and industrial design

1) ZTE Geek has nice design, this phone is packs with slim body design, looming out of the design style. Black casing with rounded corner make this phone is look elegant, smooth rounded rectangle with the same at the back body. Around a thin border, presenting a surface with the back transition, so the design, the fuselage from the side is very slim and elegant. The first impression is often overlooked and down the border, thicker, was streamlined.

ZTE Geek is possible to simplify for most of user, the ZTE Geek has the best design and also reflected in the design of mobile phones – When you carefully scrutinize the phone up and down the border, sides and four corners transition, there did not feel a simple, quiet and Elegant? Geek depict side, borders, and the back cover design language, so that the refined, while passing the full beauty of art.

2) Bold aesthetic, crude and refined. ZTE Geek has 144 x 71.5 x 9.5mm body dimmension, law-abiding, and has 148 grams of weight, is also quite a weight in his hand. Geek has a removable battery, while the back cover can be remove, it is divided into front and rear shell in two parts. Since there is no separate frame, ZTE Geek has relatively abrupt phone’s screen, especially when the cover is removed. Moreover, under normal circumstances, is to highlight the screen in the form of the backing plate, this direct use, cover the periphery “parcel” approach the screen, the process too simple.

Although in some respects Geek rough and ill-considered, but in the aesthetic impact on the details, or to give sufficient attention. One-piece back, the body was crafts usinf CNC machine process of fine grinding out the speaker holes in the domestic machine, a rare delicacy. Rounded camera, a metal ring inlaid with backplane integration in the right position. Right border of three plastic buttons, feel good in the dark under one cover, to a certain degree of contrasting metallic luster.

3) Positive too common. The importance of face, not only reflected in the human body, the phone is also true. Back killer, shot from the side of what beauty, Geek phone really have so little taste, but the front screen, it is too bland. No narrow border, on the lack of visual impact; gray virtual keys below the screen, not with the black panel integration, can clearly recognizable, which is to reduce the phone grade flaw.

4) slovenly. Figure, from the perspective of the picture, the screen and the border is not in a horizontal line, so that the assembly and processing, it is a bit rough ah. This problem is still relatively small, Geek mobile integrated frame + back cover, although in the design impeccable, but the choice of materials, and manufacturing on the poor is hardly satisfactory.

The primary issue, the plastic used in Geek, feel generally no problem, knock back shell, had been able to hear the peculiar kind of cheap plastic hollow echo. Secondly, plastic toughness poor, borders and screen combination is not close enough, a little harder, will be able to cover the nail side of the border among screens and embedded.

5) Compare the keys wonderful location. Geek phone buttons, including the power key, volume key, independent camera button, all concentrated in the right box. This design has the advantage that when you lie in bed, you can directly down on the left border of the phone sideways to play without fear of inadvertently phone keys, and, for a long time to maintain this position, the arm will not sour. However, in some special occasions, everyday use, dense arrangement of the keys is very inconvenient. You have to turn up the volume, but often to press the power button and the camera button, the phone on your pocket, also unprovoked firing a button.

All in all, Geek handset design language, simple, refined and there is a certain aesthetic, highlighting the lines and arcs abstract thinking combined, compared with Geek Fan. Workmanship, some small nice place, but the overall level was not enough to impress people, material selection and assembly on the rough, it is more apparent mishap.

Screen

Unexpectedly, ZTEGeek phone screen, has excellent manner beyond the expected small series, although the parameters did what’s attractions – 5 inches 1280 × 720 resolution, IPS LCD material, OGS full-screen paste .

General sense, using the OGS full screen lamination technique can reduce reflection and increase the permeability of the screen, so that the LCD backplane luminous efficiency, Geek of this screen, not only the above advantages, but also shows the top IPS LCD material qualities: brightness is high enough; accurate color reproduction; grayscale identify many levels, and the consequent high contrast; rich layers of color, image detail outstanding performance;

More than just words directly on the map comparison:

Price over 3000, 5.5 inches IPS screen (non-OGS) of the Lenovo K900, and price 1888,5.0 inch IPS screen (OGS) ZTE Geek contrast

ZTE Geek with iPhone 5, the screen display the same picture contrast

Words, a display of the iPhone 5 par 5 inches IPS screen, appearing in a 1888 loom, it is enough to have cost-effective. In this small series to provide those who always attached importance to the parameters shoes cries, this 5 inches 720P screen, although difficult banal surface parameters into your stuff, but the real experience later, but do not reveal the shocking oh.

Geek stunning phone’s screen is not wrong, Xiao Bian After prolonged use, the panel found that the bottom of the screen virtual keys have more serious problem:

First of all, more adequate in the light of the day, virtual keys backlight will be lit in two cases: Boot the moment / insert seat rechargeyour moment. Night, only in a completely dark room, or on the streets shrouded darkness, it will play a role. From disassemble diagram, Geek mobile virtual keys have three separate LED backlight illuminates, there is no “flawed”, I do not know ZTE deliberate design considerations for saving or software optimization problem, in short, , the day will not be lit against a gray virtual keys, which is cottage / low-end machines have experience.

Secondly, the feedback virtual keys, is not only effective slag, feedback delay is also particularly high, in some cases, even fast time, it simply is no feedback. Because of the high latency feedback / no feedback, the frequency is higher, the phone does not perform key mapping operations, which affect the experience too. To solve this problem, some people say that this is the integration of OGS Geek full lamination panel technology immaturity caused, in any case, this is the Geek experience so far, the most prominent defects, ZTE got to find a solution.

Webcam

ZTE Geek with a 800-megapixel camera with F2.0 large aperture with the flash , the right box below also has a separate camera button, While 8 million pixel back-illuminated sensor BSI, specifically how the imaging results, see with the iPhone 5 picture contrast. (Proofs for the iPhone, under the Geek proofs)

Effect after twice enlarged detail

From the proofs of view, ZTE GEEK Fengyun 8,000,000 pixel back-illuminated camera with the iPhone 5 gap significantly, especially when enlarged, a pale, indicating cell phone for large aperture of F2.0 poorly controlled. The amount of light is high, the corresponding shutter adjustment has not kept pace. Formation of overexposure poor contrast, color reproduction is missing, one can distinguish.

Night side, Geek large aperture camera advantage is more obvious, as shown:

ZTE Geek camera skill, although not as a world-class manufacturers, but in the country, should be considered a leader. Same as the “fever” mobile phone, the same 800-megapixel camera, Geek relative millet 2S compete on taking pictures, got a few small series comparison chart (formerly Zhongxing Geek, after Millet 2S):

Obviously, Geek in detail, contrast perform better on, but poor color reproduction.

Camera software, ZTE Geek supports HDR, face recognition, panoramic camera, etc. In addition, with the preloaded tuxiuxiu indirectly provides beauty features.

Run sub-

Dual-core four-thread Intel Atom Z2580, the Atom’s tablet , mobile phone universal Clover Trail + series of the most high-end processor, clocked at 2.0GHz, integrated set of graphics chip PowerVR SGX544MP2, running at 533MHz frequencies, approaching theoretical graphics capabilities Apple A5X. Intel Atom Z2580 processor +2 GB RAM +8 GB ROM (Support Micro SD card expansion), exactly how the performance of the following is the most intuitive running sub Results:

No exaggeration to say, Intel Atom Z2580 performance has been among the industry-leading level flagship, the actual use, whether smoothly run multiple applications, or play a large 3D games, no pressure.

Fever and endurance

Disassemble shows, ZTE Geek device in response to heat up, and not particularly prominent initiatives. The main chip, neither see copper, graphite thermal paste did not help dissipate heat, only the metal shield cover, if we take into account the poor thermal conductivity of the plastic body, Geek fever will probably somewhat optimistic. The following are air-conditioned room temperature 29 degrees, playing one hour “Need for Speed: Most Wanted” after the, body heat test:

This result is how do you say, it makes sense, as opposed to other Android high-end machine, 46 ° C are also not unacceptable.

Aspects of life, Geek with a 2300mAh removable battery, measured, and even WiFi, screen brightness to maximum when playing Need for Speed ​​is only one hour away barely 20% of the electricity. Small series in two weeks of use, I found Geek life should belong to the upper level Android machine: fully charged in the case, one hour a day brush microblogging, 1-2 hours of web browsing, and occasionally play games, you can persist day and night.

Systems and applications

System UI, ZTE like other domestic manufacturers, aesthetic ability is not flattered. Boot screen, press the middle of the icon will appear ZTE iconic rotating aperture unlock screen, pull up or down, petal-shaped icon will appear, which is more than Lenovo’s Clover, Walled tasteless some.

Geek of the system is based on Android 4.2.2, although the custom system, but as with MIUI and Flyme OS has its own name – “MiFavor UI”, meaning “My Favorite”. It is relatively Primal Android system, and did not do too many changes, the same double-interface – the main screen interface + application program interface, the same multi-task interface, the drop-down menu at the top of the classification, the information notification page and shortcut pages independence.

Application interface is rather special, the top of an edit field, it seems incongruous. In addition, Geek style than the messy application icon, the system as a whole gives the impression that difficult compared with MIUI and Flyme OS. Although ZTE claims Geek phone turned on by default, “developer mode” mobile phone playability is very high, it is entirely built on the ZTE built some applications, such as sinks sharing, and clutter on the edit page and customization options.

System in terms of fluency, with high configuration – Intel Z2580 processor +2 GB RAM, and a resurgence in the system really making a big effort touch optimized, Geek together with a very smooth, even more than the high-end Android machine still cool. Touch feedback fast, flexible, rhythmic, multi-task operation and changeover without the slightest Caton, the system BUG has not identified, the machine crashes and other serious problems in daily use for two consecutive weeks, it only happened once. Therefore, the suspect would be an immature Geek, blemishes and more, running Android machine Caton-made children’s shoes, you put one hundred thousand heart good.

Of course, Geek of the system, the overall impression given Xiaobian pretty good, but one thing that happened recently, you must come up with is this: get a real machine in the first week, Xiao Bian deleted Geek own some dispensable applications, recently discovered a system update available Geek phone, full of joy that ZTE released a firmware update, is addressing the virtual keys backlighting and feedback problems, but did not expect that so-called “System Update” is nothing but comes with software updates, and delete applications are back! domestic mobile phone, why give consumers a negative impression, this is a very important reason – to blanket manufacturers, consistent user experience benefits outweigh the principle of , but not in both balance!

Summary

Geek phones are relatively balanced in all aspects, whether it is performance, photography skill, the screen is remarkable, however, the machine work and some small aspects of the flaws, still need improvement. ZTE strongly advocate the “geeks Fan”, that is, playability, and other Android machines are no different. Root is still not a cell phone, do not provide the software and hardware tools brush machine, open only to so-called “developer mode” and built several fun tools and applications, not to mention really geeks. As for wireless charging anything, Nexus 4 and other Android machine has also been a.

Overall, ZTE Geek does Geek, is a quite cost-effective mobile phone. Imitation millet, ZTE Geek tangible without God, even though the hardware at the essence of the essence, not significant at the dross dross, ZTE Geek efforts to highlight the 1888 price, but did not achieve the desired publicity. That a no Geek style of the conference, it is neither fish nor fowl, Party not so open, and marketing have to continue to learn!

Many people may never heard the Nubia brand, but when it comes to ZTE, believe that the vast majority of people who are familiar with electronic products has heard of this brand. Nubia as the separation of the flagship high-end mobile phone from ZTE as the independent brand, in Beijing Millennium Monument in December 26, 2012 ZTE has been released its first mobile phone – Nubia Z5. There are a lot of people have a keen interest in this mysterious “newborn”, we come together to look at how performance this phone.

Nubia Z5 is a top hardware can be described with the various sensors are equipped with, and supports a number of extended features such as OTG, MHL. Nubia Z5 software also under a lot of effort, in addition to the professional camera features, also has a number of somatosensory control and gesture features.

The Nubia Z5 also support for China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, the three major carriers Network standard applicable to a broader range of mobile phones in China.

Nubia Z5 specs:

• CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8064 Quad-core 1.5GHz CPU
• RAM 2GB / ROM 32GB

What is Nubian mean?, we have ever covered the meaning of word “Nubia”, from the starting point of human civilization, in Latin and other languages, the meaning of a symbol of a better future. Meanwhile, the nubia of the Logo by circles and dots composed of dot symbolizes the origin of human beings. The circle around the circle, to show that the nubia brand continue to extend the vision of the world, explore discovery Eye.

● Unpacking and design

The Nubia Z5 mobile phones and accessories separately with a separate plastic box, and then packed in a paper box. Taking into account the official follow-up to express distribution, packaging of mobile phones and accessories, can play a the nice protective effect.

Box with white design looks very simple, bundled data cable, headset, the charger, card slot thimble, NFC tags and other accessories.

Let’s take a look at the appearance. the nubia Z5 design by Italian designer Stefano Giovanni. He believes that the mobile phone is not just a communications products, is a work of art, an emotion and personality design works, be able to express an attitude toward life.

Nubia Z5 is equipped with 5.0 inches Sharp the CGS custom New Mode display resolution of 1080p displays with resolutions up 443PPI, single glass full lamination technology (OGS). From a technical point of view, it is somewhat similar with the Meizu MX2 screen. Black state, to be ultra-narrow border design of nubia the Z5 screen and panel one sense is very good.

The Nubia Z5 uses aluminum unibody structure, the official claims processing operations of 15 from the side of the phone, we can also see the aluminum frame. Version priced at $1270 USD, the border will be using the titanium material has higher strength and texture control weight.

The bottom front of the home key position the circle feels very familiar touch operation. Next, there are two relatively small red touch keys.

Nubia Z5 front and rear camera with f/2.2 constant aperture, the main camera with a 1 300-megapixel Konica – Minolta lens, Sony CMOS chip sensors, five optical lens combinations, blue glass composite IR filter, and at the same time with high-strength metal lens ring and sapphire and iPhone 5 scratch-resistant lenses.

The top of the fuselage is a headphone jack and a Micro-SIM card slot. The card slot is open thimble, can the whole extracted. The speaker is placed in the bottom of the back of the fuselage.

Nubia Z5 gives the overall impression is thin, 126g weight is far less than the vast majority of mobile phone equipped with a 4.7-inch screen. Weight enough to bring a reassuring touch, but relatively speaking, like a light user will be some more.

● screen effect

Nubia Z5 is equipped with 5.0 inches Sharp the CGS custom New Mode Display achieve 1920×1080 resolution, accuracy up to 443 PPI , use a single glass full lamination technology (OGS).

By comparing with Xiaomi to see how different piece of the screen relative to traditional 720p resolution full fit IPS screen.

Color contrast

256 gray scale contrast

Details of the contrast of the screen

Through the above comparison, we can see the Nubia Z5 screen quality is still very high, and detail on the screen relative to traditional 720p resolution screen has some advantages.

Display pictures, the difference of the two phones are less obvious, but a closer look, color and detail will be slightly better performance. Let’s look at visual angle contrast.

Low angle, Nubia Z5 screen slightly color cast. Comprehensive comparison of the above the Nubia Z5 screen performance has reached the ranks of the top level can be regarded as a major highlight of the whole. Follow-up piece of screen will be more detailed data test, at the same time will contrast 1080p resolution screen phone.

● System Design

Nubia Z5 uses a custom Android 4.1.2 system, a layer of design to switch classes iOS system, no program list page, all programs are displayed on the desktop, the icon on the desktop can be arbitrary arrangement, set up a folder, or Direct uninstaller.

The join of the top bar shortcut switch makes operation convenient and greatly improved, the switch also free to customize and more humane. Task Manager card design, support a key Clear.

The above is the basic structure of Nubia Z5 system, the default theme color is mainly gray, black, dark green, dark lines, was relatively calm. Smooth system is very good, but still felt the trial in some respects is not enough convenient, such as desktop tools add is not very intuitive, not many desktop tools, lock screen shortcut entrance rich enough. The same time, part of the program will still be created on the desktop shortcut icons and other small problem may be a bug in engineering systems can be improved and optimized hope this bug is fixed on the official version.

● Multimedia features

The first is the audio-visual part, Nubia Z5 built-in YAMAHA chip, support Dolby 5.1 audio, visual and audio effects with some assurance. The music player supports a variety of gesture control to adjust the volume (such as vertical sliding, horizontal sliding switch songs, etc.), support timing Close, cover / lyrics display and other basic functions. Deficiencies that can not be online search CD covers and lyrics, a lot of people may use third-party player.

The music format comes with the player supporting flac, mp3, ogg, wav, wma and other mainstream formats, the disadvantage is that the cue index file does not recognize.

Player, comes with a very simple interface, support for picture-in-picture, rotation lock, fullscreen, subtitles and the timing off functions. I play 1080p wmv, mp4 files using the screenshot function, the system prompts unable to complete screenshots, I do not know whether it is engineering the firmware bug. Video format support, comes with the player support 3gp, mp4, mkv, wmv, avi, ts and other mainstream formats, performed well. Some special video format you need to install a third-party player soft solution , hardware solution compared to some of the contributions electricity.

● Features

Nubia Z5 built-in feature-rich security center, a medical examination of the mobile phone, acceleration, antivirus, traffic monitoring, harassment interception, encryption, anti-theft, privacy Behavior Monitoring and malicious ad-blocking function setting items are also very comprehensive, and users do not have to use the basic third-party the housekeeper software.

Nubia Z5 supports motion-sensing capabilities to answer the somatosensory dialing, flip mute, lashing the song or update function, using three fingers to press the on-screen action to push up the screenshot. (Power button + volume down screenshot shortcut off by default, you need to be open in the auxiliary function).

Profile settings is also a nice feature, sleep mode can play music, you can open only the Favorite contacts function calls and messages in order to avoid disturbing. Waving the palm of your hand to enter the alarm Snooze operator actions recognition When the alarm sounds, our hands can play in the top of the screen to enter the alarm snooze mode, which is delayed for several minutes before ringing.

CPU power-saving, power-saving mode can be set screen power-saving as well as close-Fi and touch feedback function, in order to extend the role of standby time. Other aspects of the built-in system Nubia Z5 cloud backup feature can backup all kinds of local resources in the landing Nubia account. Cloud management capabilities can manage local and cloud equipment in the different types of documents.

Nubia Z5 custom systems or under some effort, most of the demand to meet the ordinary users as well as advanced users.
Nubia Z5 powered by Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad-core processor, clocked at 1.5GHz. The processor using 28nm process manufacturing, integrating the latest in Adreno 320 GPU, the integration four Krait framework of the CPU core, strong performance as Qualcomm’s first quad-core CPU. Memory combination sports with 2GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM, although the memory is not expandable, but 32GB is basically good enough.

Nubia Z5 test scores for reference only.

We also use this phone a test run sub safety Benchmark 3.0.3 and got the score 13,000 points in a certain extent, the CPU performance into the normal range, but the APQ8064 performance, I believe for no run due to sub-optimize. Other software to run sub aircraft 3D performance is excellent, although the screen resolution of 1920 × 1080, but fps achieve the same level of nearly 60, the result is still very good. It should be noted that the aircraft engineering machine, does not mean that the level of mass production machine, we only need to know the APQ8064 is good hardware platform on the line.

● Heat test

Nubia Z5 uses alloy body, we do this for the aluminum alloy frame. Metal frame to the Z5 bring good weight control and feel while metal heat thermal conductivity attributes will also to bring mobile phones heat serious problem? We take a look at this point.

Lower temperature before running

Running sub-test after a positive temperature

The back of the temperature in the run sub-test

Side temperature to run sub-test

The indoor temperature was around 17 degrees, The body temperature of about 30 degrees. First to run sub-20 minutes the software testing process, the metal frame of the machine was very hot, the phone fever are also concentrated in the top of the phone. The maximum temperature of 45 degrees, although not very high, but the thermal conductivity of the metal is also really impressive this point MX2 .

Positive after running VELLAMO temperature

The run VELLAMO back of the temperature

The run VELLAMO side temperature

I went on to re-run it again VELLAMO took 10 minutes. heat very fast machine, just one or two minutes Temperature obviously have to rise in the ranks and has maintained a relatively high temperature in the testing process, the cell phone once displayed overheating. Pictures show, you can see a temperature of over 50 degrees, it has been hot, especially aluminum alloy frame.

The standby a positive temperature

The standby back of the temperature

Testing to proceed, followed by 15 minutes of charging standby. nubia Z5 aluminum alloy border is not only the thermal conductivity quickly, the heat also soon be regarded as advantages and disadvantages it. Twenty-three minutes of heat is quite clear too faded down, the level has dropped to about 30 degrees to 15 minutes.

But ran divided we all are not commonly used in everyday life, the following simple simulation of what daily life use, respectively game testing and regular use.

Positive temperature of running the big game

Run the big game on the back temperature

The big game has always been more to eat phone resources, we have chosen the “Asphalt 7” and “9mm” two big game, 1080P screen gaming experience is still perfect, the the APQ8064 performance or good. Author demo for about 15 minutes, the phone battery 19% off, mobile phone maximum temperature of 42 degrees.

Routine use positive temperature

The routine use of the back of the temperature

Then I only a 15 minute routine use of the test, including brush microblogging, play games, watch videos, and other day-to-day use. Electricity out of 9%, temperature aspects positive overall about 37 degrees, the back of the camera at the top of a high temperature, the remaining region of low temperature. By the way, I copy flv, mkv, AVI, MP4, rmvb this 5-minute video format go, but only MP4, AVI playback hardware solutions. While the phone soft the solution full support without pressure, but still a little regret it.

With this test, we summarize the points: temperature aluminum alloy frame sake, thermal conductivity quickly, although the temperature is only 50 degrees, but many are concentrated on the border of the user’s palm grip, so the thermal somewhat obvious. I hope the production machine heat control to strengthen. Of course, aluminum alloy heat and dissemination of very fast, we feel the machine daily use to the user will not bring the heat on the troubled, a piece of border in addition to playing the big game or some “hot”.

● life experience

Power on the aircraft seems somewhat fragile, 15 minutes off 19% of the electricity the big game, and then play the big game 1 hour 15 minutes means 2300mAh battery will run out? Such a calculation can not help but was surprised. During the test power also occasionally false positives, only 9% of the electricity consumption, one minute before the next minute show, there are 11% visual engineering machine power detection is not optimized, we also look forward to the performance of the official amount of sale machine.

Overall performance nubia the Z5 gives people the performance is still very good, enough to cope with all large-scale programs and games, and hair heat control and battery remaining problem, I hope there will be some improvement after production. Of course, the evaluation of engineering machine is also the hope that in a limited period of time to be able to maximize improvements in order to find the lack of optimization.

Since then, I carried a lightweight test standby to full power to go out in 8:00, 3G brush microblogging, read the news about 40 minutes, arrive 9:00 left the company after 67% of the electricity. Basic phone operation placed around 12:00, the remaining charge of 58%. Afternoon I use the phone to send and receive a few micro letter and SMS, the other time is still standby to work afternoon 7:00, 38% of the electricity. Finally, I probably 3G Internet 20 minutes + WiFi Internet 20 minutes of operation, phone final 21:30 remaining 5% of the electricity.

It can be seen, the Nubia Z5 power management is still need to be further strengthened, otherwise if a high strength is difficult to meet a daytime use. However, In brush microblogging daily operation, the heat of the phone is very small, almost no feeling.

● The camera features and proofs

Nubia Z5 has three photographs mode are fun mode, auto mode, as well as pro mode, for different camera needs. Engineering version of the firmware, we have only to find the auto mode, as well as pro mode.

Three camera mode

First look at the auto mode, automatic mode, where we can see on the left side smile recognition the switch and HDR mode switch, in addition to no other camera options.

Let’s take a look at the pro mode, which is the professional mode. In professional mode, the left will have to delay shutter auxiliary line, as well as the the compass level of instrument the switch, the effect has been used in Figure words. At this point we can drag the red metering point as well as the green focus point to anywhere on the screen to find the most suitable exposure and perspective.

Compass and level meter is the middle of the ring, when the the four pointer tip when the phone is now level status, compass style will vary with the the phone angle of change, such as switching to guide positive form. In addition to the form of the have figure Jiugongge style, there is a gold dividing line GUIDE LINES Assisted photo shoot better composition.

pro mode can shoot panoramic photos, native Andrews 4.1 is basically the same functionality and interface.

Sunny environment, the nubia Z5 photographic effect is good, whether it is a close-range vision have good sharpness performance, normal white balance performance.

Dark light photos

Ratio of 100% Enlargement

Dark light photos we found a dimly lit pool of hand-washing, using pro mode shooting, the figure can be seen nubia Z5 well.

Dark light photos

Panoramic photo

Panoramic photo stitching is not very obvious traces but native Andrews mechanism, the resolution of the photo is not high. The above picture resolution is only 2248×464, amplified basic viewability.

Conference, the official said nubia Z5 professional camera, a large part is to say that it achieve independent metering and focus, this function in dealing with complex light or dark contrast Obviously scene, the effect is still pretty large. Below I briefly shot photographs taken in the two sets of automatic mode and professional mode to adjust the metering point.

Left the automatic mode, the photo at right professional mode (metering point move lower to the scene)

Photos above of focus are the center of the screen, adjust the metering point, a lot of screen exposure and white balance performance.

Left automatic mode, the right picture shows the professional mode (metering point is moved to the center of the scene)

Second Photos film, the focus for the tower at the top, we will to metering point adjustment to screen partial central part, the entire screen is bright and many more show details of the dark, but the tower portion of the event of a loss of detail, some of overexposure situation. Here we have to make a choice, of course, we can also choose to shoot HDR photos.

nubia Z5 photographic effect is a high-end level, the Professional mode also good playability, shoot the photos with better performance. But the problem is still there, such as shooting, I found the camera shutter some delay, not as good as the other flagship phone to readily; pressing the shutter is held down, the phone will automatically enter the burst mode, there is no clear text remind all photos are automatically saved to the album, did not provide follow-up screening, some of the less humane; ISO No information in the EXIF ​​information of the photo, the shutter time is 1/15 seconds. Of course, the engineering version of the firmware is inevitable problems, I hope these points in subsequent firmware update can be effectively improved, so that the user’s camera experience will be better.

● Evaluation Summary

Nubian the nubia Z5 picture evaluation forums offer net acquisition cost

As a high-performance quad-core 1080p screen phone, nubia Z5 with respect to the same configuration competitors in the category, the main advantage of the thin body design. The aircraft photographed satisfactory, professional camera function with a certain degree of playability, performance and display, nubia Z5 showed enough strength. For those who prefer thin and light design, the users of mobile phones have a higher overall performance requirements, nubia Z5 can be used as the object of one of the considerations.

Of course, in engineering the body, we also see fever control and power management is not yet perfect, phone part of the function optimization or bug. the nubia Z5 distance officially listed, there are still about a month’s time, I believe that through the optimization of process correction firmware update can solve the problems in the engineering version. To be the official version arrive, we will conduct a further evaluation.

nubia released called Z5 designed three photographs are fun mode, auto mode, as well as pro mode, for different camera needs. Engineering version of the firmware, we have only to find the auto mode, as well as pro mode.
