Long, long life, fun photography, big screen surprises - nubia Nubian Z11 MAX smart phone reports

The headline three "long" words are not wrong, because - important things are said three times!

Truth be told, these two early thousand yuan machines did not meet my expectations - this is part of the pot belongs to the two mobile phone network standards are mobile custom nTD-SCDMA. Because TD-SCDMA's unique baseband chip requires the SoC application processor + TD n3G baseband. In addition to the use of MTK's own baseband, other SoC solutions such as Marvell/Tegra are not compatible, there is a false standby (prompt network phone ringing does not ring), n phone connected after a single pass (a party can hear each other's voice On the other side, he couldn't hear it). Due to such problems, the two aircraft had to be eliminated without using their life expectancy of two years.

This kind of purchase experience precisely reflects the dilemma of the “Queen of China” mobile phone giants of the year: almost China Mobile's special supply of exotic models leads to the failure to adopt mature large-company full-net plans, and the inevitable use of weak SoC solutions and TD basebands. result. In the fierce competition of the mobile phone market in Dalangtaosha, not only Marvell and NVIDIA have withdrawn after just five years. Now that even Intel has to withdraw from the mobile phone SoC market, people can feel embarrassed.

Nubia, a brand of cutting-edge smart phones, positions the high-end market, based on China's global orientation, and takes "Be nYourself" as its brand concept. With many SLR-class photography features known as "SLR phone in the phone", "can shoot stars mobile phone." With the "Full Netcom" technology, the "borderless handset" nubia nZ9 equipped with FiT interactive technology is recognized by the majority of users. Ms. Peng Liyuan was referred to as the "mother's cell phone" because she was photographed when she was accompanied by President Xi Jinping when she visited Germany. It has caused widespread concern. The international football superstar C. Ronaldo became a spokesperson for the Nubian brand. —— This paragraph is excerpted from Baidu Encyclopedia

Nubia Nubian Z11 MAX smart phone has a 6-inch 1080P Super AMOLED screen, equipped with Qualcomm processor for the first time I enjoy the world's best wireless communications baseband products. Xiaolong 652+4GB nRAM+64GB ROM combination, to deal with non-3D mobile game users. 16 million pixels F2.0 aperture Sony IMX298 stack camera quality has always been good, sapphire lens protection glass, Corning gorilla third-generation glass protection, respectively, to protect the front screen rear mirror. Built a 4000mAh battery, and support nubia 3.0 fast charging technology, up to 18W input, which means long battery life.

From the body design, hardware specifications, nubia Nubian Z11 Max is completely comparable to the OPPO R9 Plus level flagship main model, for me it is attractive 9 extension. Netizens also gave the Nubian Z11 Max nickname "Daniu 5". They were fortunate enough to be selected for this nubia Nubian Z11 MAX smartphone Aunt Zhang. I feel that the god of luck is the privilege to come. Let me start with the start of this test report from the beginning.

Likes to hear - all test out of the box

Nubia Nubia Z11 Max uses a charcoal grey packaging box design. The front of the mobile box is Nubia's iconic Home key red aperture and English nubia Logo.

The back of the box is model network support, hardware configuration and other terminal equipment information labels that are uniformly defined by the Ministry of Industry and Information, and of course also useful warranty information such as IMEI serial number and body color, S/N serial number.

At first glance, the visual impact of nubia Nubian Z11 Max gave me a 83% screen share, which occupies almost the entire front of the phone and compares to the thick edge of my wife's iPhone 6S Plus. It was simply moving to Cry.

Inside the big red inner shell is the 6-inch big screen nubia Nubian Z11 Max. The accessories include the USB 3.1 Type-C charging cable that has been popular recently. The other accessory is naturally a quick charger. The box says that the card holder and the card pin are one.

Fast charging, long and long battery life

Equipped with nubia fast charge 3.0, using variable charging voltage and current design, output specifications are variable: 5V@3A, 9V@2A, charging maximum power 18 watts, four times faster than ordinary charger charging speed.

n Nubian Daniel 5 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, personal speculation Z11 MAX nubia 3.0 fast charging technology should still be based on Qualcomm Qualcomm Quick Charge n3.0. Of course, whether there is enough research and development strength to study the full set of solutions such as fast charging technology, protocol, and IC, because there is no intention to disassemble the charger and leave it for others to explore.

Big 5 mobile phone bottom frame is placed outside the stereo speaker hole and USB 3.1 Type-C data / charging interface - because it represents the future trend (heard Apple 7 bags also have to be on this interface) / with loading and support up to 100W charging power . Compared with the standard only 1A current; enhanced power supply is only 2A USB 3.0 interface, this interface and the corresponding Type-C charging line is flash charge and fast charge technology necessary.

The same with a USB 3.1 Type-C charging line, white pure white range, one meter length, plus two very useful plastic storage clips.

With the fast charge technology, the 4000mAh large capacity battery corresponds to the Nubian Z11 MAX long and long battery life. Normal use, no mobile games, 4G networks, telephone calls 30 to 40 minutes, the main play social SNS, Aunt Zhang, WeChat and NetEase news client. The battery is full of 100% to go out, insist on 3 days and 2 nights without charging without stress.

The above figure shows that the battery life is 2 days and 4 hours. It is already noon on the third day, and my long standby is not only waiting for the lock screen to answer the phone, the screen of the system recording continuously lasts for more than 10 hours. Typical hardware and software power consumption as shown in the figure:

Have to take, Nubian Z11 MAX is the mobile phone I have used the longest life, not one!

However, the Nubian Z11 MAX in the Android system level for the ultimate battery life, but also did a very strict power management: the default setting "mobile phone butler" to shut down the dormancy wake-up permissions of all third-party App, prohibit all App from starting, I do not Hopefully, because of this kind of power management, even WeChat and QQ, Alipay, and salted fish can't automatically push messages. It's only after the app is launched that it prompts you to receive messages, and it's easy to miss important messages.

Therefore, to use the Nubian Z11 MAX mobile phone normally, it is necessary to use the “Mobile Phone Butler” App to select the proper self-start and dormancy wakeup push program.

4G Full Netcom, fast Internet access, global worry-free

Card pins are more design-friendly than other domestic manufacturers without a copy of Apple's semi-circular rectangle, echoing Nubia's ring-shaped Home key design. The thick, smooth coating allows the user to feel comfortable and hold a larger area to use. It's easy.

Cato hides on the left side of the fuselage.

Metal Cato, in which SIM 1 slot is Nano SIM Only, both Nano SIM slots support full Netcom 7 mode 18 frequency.

Full Netcom 4G is a clear and strong requirement: Our young couple travels abroad once a year. The first time I went abroad, I was brought with the mobile version of the Nano's iPhone n5S and TD-SCDMA. As a result, the airport could not find a suitable one at a time. The Nano nSIM card, equipped with TD-SCDMA Lenovo S898t equipped with a 7day travel card, can only make calls, wasted 7 days unlimited traffic. So a happy outbound tour requires the mobile phone to support 4G TD-LTE/FDD, nLTE/HSPA+/WCDMA Netcom, and Nubian Z11 MAX meets my needs once again.

SIM 2 is a TF/Nano SIM multiplex slot, and TF card slots can use up to 200G TF cards.

Compared with the mobile TD-SCDMA 3G network that sad reminders, TD-LTE 4G has been reborn, Nubian Z11 MAX supports VoLTE, so that you can maintain 4G data links during voice calls, download speeds are comparable to 10M wired broadband, upload bandwidth even Home broadband is even bigger than 100M fiber.

Integrated body design, round frame, beautiful like pebbles

The mobile phone back shell without the leucorrhea as the RF antenna feels very comfortable.

Compared with many of today's helpless white belt flagship (Hey, including Nubian's own flagship Z11), there is no leucorrhea design body back feel very beautiful.

However, there are slight color differences between the two semi-circular back covers on the upper and lower sides, which are suspected to be caused by plastic materials. Of course, plastic is also used to reveal the metal housing for radio frequency signals, not because of cost savings.

This year, a number of new mobile phones have replaced the USB Type-C interface, but there are two modes of "normal youth" and "compulsory youth". The “Normal Youth” model still retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, which takes care of user habits and preserves the user’s headphone investment.

The "Too Young" mode of mobile phone directly abolished the 3.5mm headphone jack, completely regardless of the user may need to charge + listen to the song at the same time, does not consider the real enthusiast-class mobile phone headset is 3.5mm interface rather than the manufacturers to sell 299 "USB Type-C DAC HIFI Headphones" (tragedy is said to Apple 7 bags will also join the USB Type-C - 3.5mm adapter's "to force the youth" mode).

The thickness of the fuselage is not a reason to cancel the 3.5mm interface, because nubia Nubia used the design to make a demonstration of the Z11 Max body thickness of 7.4mm, the body is thin and the frame is mellow and refined.

Le 2 Pro canceled the 3.5mm headphone jack, but the body thickness was 7.5mm thicker.

The right side of the fuselage is the lock screen and volume buttons, the same aluminum CNC cutting process, do not use plastic parts to fool.

Six-inch Super AMOLED 1080p large screen, fine and clear high contrast

Nubia The Nubian Z11 Max screen is a Super AMOLED panel with an on-cell full-fit process.

The characteristic of self-luminescence determines that the contrast is much higher than that of the TFT, the black matrix is ​​pure, and the power consumption is reduced as the brightness of the display content is reduced.

Compared to the Le 2 Pro purchased one month ago, the nubia Nubian Z11 MAX's light sensing is more sensitive and does not automatically sense lower brightness or slower adjustment changes than the Le 2 Pro.

The color temperature of the screen is not adjustable, but it is a mild warm white that is visually comfortable. Le 2 Pro default 3 kinds of colors are slightly bluish color temperature, only "nostalgic" color scheme is the screen yellowish visual effects.

Le 2 Pro claims no border ID 3.0. As you can see from the bright screen photos, Nubia Z11 MAX's border is thinner than Le 2 Pro, and Le 2 Pro’s black border is more visually stimulating.

The proportion of Le 2 Pro screen is 80.3%, and the proportion of nubia Nubian Z11 MAX screen is 83.27%.

Do you hold a 6-inch screen? One-handed operation is more difficult

The size of the 6-inch screen and the 4000mAh battery are reflected from the weight. The nubia Nubian Z11 MAX weighs 186g (a SIM card is added 1g more than the official weight).

In addition to the weight, the one-handed control pressure brought by the six-inch big screen is not small, my hand is from the root to the middle fingertip is 18cm in length, not a small hand, can only easily touch the lock screen / power button, straighten fingers stubbornly You can't touch the volume up button when you touch the volume.

Whether it is left or right thumb operation, the nubia Nubian Z11 MAX screen range covered by one-handed manipulation has no significant change.

From the motion picture, Nubian Z11 Max six-inch large-screen one-handed operation range can barely cover two-fifths of the screen. Need to touch the top of the 6-inch screen I had to use two hands to operate or take the risk of crashing difficult single-handed hold shift.

With one-handed operation, the Nubian Z11 MAX provides one-handed mode and bezel gestures to compensate for this defect. One-handed mode is to reduce the screen display area, so why should we buy this 6-inch big-screen big cattle 5?

I personally do not actually recommend turning on the single-handed mode. The edge gestures can be customized for various shortcut operations, such as adjusting the brightness level, and returning quickly. However, it is still not possible to solve the problem that some App user centers and navigation bars are designed at the top and need to use both hands. To normal operation problem.

Photo/unlocking monologue - lack of fingerprint recognition for killer apps

On the back of the Daniel 5 there are two eye-catching configurations: fingerprint recognition and a 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 F2.0 camera.

Strictly speaking, I don't like the location of this fingerprint sensor because it cannot be quickly and intuitively located on the sensor. Need to explore for a period of time to adapt to the location of mobile fingerprint sensor to achieve "blind recognition."

Entering a fingerprint requires pressing and collecting 8 times of fingerprint data. The fingerprint unlocking nubia Z11 MAX is rarely successful, but the normal number of retries is not more than 4 times, usually the index finger is pressed and lifted 2~3 times. The fingerprint is unlocked successfully. This success rate is similar to that of the wife's iPhone 6S Plus fingerprint. Unlocking the recognition rate is a world of difference. Picky users such as Virgo should be unacceptable, but fortunately I'm a rough nerved Leo, so I'm happy to use it.

In terms of fingerprint recognition, what really made the Big 5 users uncomfortable is that the system of the nubia Z11 MAX is Android Android L Lollipop 5.1.1 which was launched a year ago. It has not yet fully opened fingerprint support for third-party applications. Identify the API. 2. There are few applications that really support fingerprint recognition in Android applications. Through the system function, Daniel 5 only supports fingerprint recognition unlock/light screen, fingerprint recognition shutter camera, and fingerprint recognition lock application.

I tried Alipay, WeChat, and Jingdong Wallet. As a result, only the Alipay interface can find the fingerprint payment function in the payment security option. However, this function does not work properly. After activating Alipay fingerprint payment, the App will keep prompting the system for fingerprint updates, forcibly closing the fingerprint recognition function to update the fingerprint information, and then looping repeatedly to disable fingerprint payment in Alipay.

But after five days of accidental discovery - Taobao can identify Alipay's fingerprint settings, can replace the original input Alipay transaction password verification process through fingerprint recognition, successful receipt confirmation, which makes me feel very happy, at least Andrews phone fingerprint The recognition function is not completely unsupported by the third-party App. With the first application as a demonstration, more applications will support fingerprint authentication later.

"The phone closest to SLR?" Cameras, Fun Cameras and Photo Imaging

In terms of cameras, the Nubian Z11 Max uses the same IMX298 sensor as the Xiaomi 5 and Z11 Mini, with a maximum of 16 million pixels. The sensor area is 1/2.8 inch - single pixel area is 1.12 square microns and supports PDAF phase focus and high dynamic range HDR recording.

Nubia's camera program can be said to do a lot of development for the fun of photography. Includes point-and-shoot camera mode and professional camera mode. Professional mode can adjust almost all camera parameters. The only feature lacking is that you can't customize the contrast and saturation of the picture after you take the picture. The official customer service recommendation is to edit the picture after editing it.

Nubian cameras' interesting photography modes include light painting, star trails, movements, cloning, and other modes, and can take very interesting creative photos.

However, in addition to fun photography and camera professional adjustment program features, the camera is the most important image quality, Nubia's back camera looked good indicators, but it is a scorpion is a horse, pull out a slip to know.

Still life macro, zooming in and looking at it is not bad, the dust on the leaves can be expressed. However, because of the different shooting times, Nubian Z11 MAX has been withering a lot of flowers in the past month and cannot capture the same two petals, so it is impossible to distinguish 100% of the screenshots.

The still-life macro test of the second Mini Ferris wheel exposed the issue of lens quality in addition to the Nubian Z111 MAX. I began to completely disbelieve that the 100% screenshot gap of the same Sony IMX stack sensor photo center can be so big, so I gave Nubia Z11 MAX the opportunity to cheat and open - a total of 4 photos were shot, yes, I shot 4 photos selected the best one to compare with Le 2 Pro 2 photos.

The above 100% screenshots can be seen, Nubian Z11 MAX lens quality is relatively poor, the default camera mode macro focus distance may also be relatively long, the photo detail is not as good as Le 2 Pro, and can not adjust the contrast and saturation, so The color of straight out is not as bright as the music of Le 2 Pro (the late adjustment is not ah, it is infinite possibilities).

Run points performance is not good, no fever nor hot

   For me, the main smart phone uses are: 4G network can quickly synchronize cloud notes and cloud network disk, wearable health device connection (Bluetooth n4.0, GPS positioning quickly, gyroscope + acceleration sensor), e-commerce shopping buy buy Buy (fingerprint identification optional), SNS social photo and sharing (camera), news reading (6 inch large screen, 1080p), payment and financing (fingerprint recognition optional), travel abroad without replacement (supports 4G TD-LTE/ FDD nLTE/HSPA+/WCDMA full network access can). Run these functions above and don't need a variety of 360 housekeeper kill processes to clean up memory (4G RAM is very sufficient)

This is exactly what the hardware configuration of the Nubian Z11 MAX is good at, and the Xiaolong 652 processor running score is not outstanding. Even the default is the power-saving mode, and the running points under the application processor's frequency reduction are still low. But the performance is enough for everyday applications to be extremely smooth.

After turning off the "Smart Power Saver" mode, as reflected in the security Bunny Run Points, its performance is on a horizontal line with the thousand Yuan smartphone.

However, after two weeks of use, I1, did not feel any caton and delay, everything was smooth and smooth; 2, did not feel the background and turn off the power saving to the Nubian Z11 MAX battery life The obvious decline is still 3 days and 2 nights of battery life.

Compared to Meizu NOTE 3 and Le 2 Pro, which are very smart and specifically designed for security Bunny to "smart" switch "high performance" power solutions, compared to the inevitable occurrence of metal body heating in use, I think nubia nubi Sub Z11 MAX pays more attention to user experience and endurance, and the performance of B&R Bunny is even more important.

Other system features

Split screen application is the advantage of large-screen mobile phones, dual applications such as secretive use I do not know when the standard has become a new machine, whether it is Le 2 Pro, Samsung C7, Nubian Z11 MAX have designed such a Selling function.

In the system aspect of Nubian Z11 MAX, I need to spit a slot: Android L Lollipop 5.1.1 is the system version of the flagship last year. This year my newly purchased Le 2 Pro and other family's new machines are without exception. It is not Android M 6.0 system, but based on my experience, the possibility of upgrading the Android version of the system is really embarrassing. Despite this, I still hope that the Nubian Z11 MAX will send me an Android 6.0 OTA update reminder within a few months.

Another system slot: the phone can not pull a number in the call record, you must use the "mobile phone butler" to add numbers to the blacklist, the specific steps: "mobile phone housekeeper" - harassment interception - interception management - blacklist management - Add a number.

This mode of operation is anti-human, but it does not have a good explanation. The typical engineering student program is thinking! Isn't the normal person's thinking supposed to be pulling the black number directly in the mobile phone communication record after receiving a harassment call hang-up? Shouldn’t it be to blacklist the harassing SMS numbers directly in the SMS management received? Nubian company is so big, will not even human-computer interaction designers have not hired one?

Nubia Nubian Z11 MAX Personal Rating:

1, a larger screen, a higher proportion of the screen, a narrower border, I really like this design!

2, sleek 2.5D glass, sleek aluminum alloy frame, this phone is as smooth as the crystal clear stone.

3, long and long battery life management, nubia 3.0 fast charging technology, only 2 hours full 4000mAh battery.

4, the camera features a super-class powerful, lens quality in general.

5, running points performance is only a thousand dollars machine level, but the user experience is smooth.

6, the system is actually not Android 6.0, hope that vendors can push Android 6.0 as soon as possible

This is nubia Nubian Z11 MAX, the new big screen machine, the new life limit, new surprises.
