Nubian's new generation of borderless mobile phone Z17 is a lot of surprises, and this time in addition to the non-border, it also joined a high-quality dual camera, waterproof function, and powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, etc., let's feel a bit.
2 minutes to experience videoHardware Configuration
In terms of configuration, the Nubian Z17 is equipped with a full-blood version of the Snapdragon 835, and there is no need to worry about performance. The 6GB of memory is on the line. The top version is equipped with a terrible 8GB, and the storage is 64GB and the highest is 128GB. Continuation of the borderless screen design, 5.5 inches 1080P non-resolution. Camera is still the main selling point, rear dual camera main camera is 12 million pixels, the sensor is the flagship level of IMX362, supports full-pixel dual-core focus, aperture is F/1.8, vice camera is 23 million pixels IMX318, aperture is F/ 2.0. The front camera is 16 million pixels and the aperture is F/2.0. The overall camera configuration is very luxurious.
Front: 16 million pixels F/2.0 system Nubia UI 5.0 (based on Android 7.1) Size 152.66×72.38×7.6mm Body color dark blue, gold, pure black, black gold, red battery capacity 3200mAh, can not be freely changed, the phone supports QC 4+ (The charger does not support) Network standard dual card dual standby full Netcom, 2 × 2 dual WiFi features dual camera zoom, a new generation of borderless, outdoor waterproof, glass metal body listed price 6GB +64 GB: 2799 yuan
6GB+128GB: 3399 yuan
8GB+128GB:3999 yuan
The system is equipped with Nubia UI 5.0 based on Android 7.1. The battery capacity is 3200mAh, and the mobile phone supports Qualcomm's latest QC 4+ standard for fast charging, but the original charger and transmission line for distribution does not support it. The network standard supports dual card dual standby full Netcom. There are five kinds of color matching, namely dark blue, gold, pure black, black gold and red.
Appearance: A new generation of borderless, support for outdoor waterproof
Appearance, Nubian Z17 in the current sleek in the mobile phone appears a little different, the overall style is stiff, tall and slender. The positive and iconic borderless design is still quite stunning, with no black borders visible on both sides, reflecting a spirit of pursuing ultimate excellence. Thanks to the borderless design, the Nubian Z17 is only 72.38mm wide. The 5.5-inch screen under the 5-inch plug occupies an extremely high proportion of screens, giving good consideration to the large screen and feel.
In addition to our familiar borderless design, the entire frontal design of the Nubian Z17 is a classic family style. The most prominent is the small red circle at the bottom that touches the Home button, which is very cool on the black panel. The home button is a multi-tasking button and a return button on both sides. When you touch it, the red dot will light up. The overall front looks very concise, and it also covers a 2.5D glass, making the square-shaped body a little more rounded.
The Nubian Z17 has realized the all-metal integrated body, the back cover and the middle frame are not separated, and the back no longer uses a three-stage design and cancels the headphone hole, making the overall metal ratio as high as 98%. Regardless of whether it is visually or hand-feeling, harmony and unity have been well achieved.
Antennas Nubian also made its own innovations, using the industry's first top antenna design. The Nubian Z17's antenna is below the back cover and the other is above the middle frame of the phone. As a result, only one antenna strip remains on the back of the mobile phone, which not only improves the percentage of the back metal, but also brings a better visual experience. Compared with the popular U-shaped antenna, I feel that this program is more worth looking forward to, if you can put another one in the middle of the box.
In the middle box, the greatest feeling is that its aRC gold curvature is very fitting to the palm, making people very comfortable to hold. There is also an infrared transmitter at the top and a symmetrical design at the bottom, eliminating the 3.5mm headphone jack.
It is worth mentioning that Nubian Z17's top version uses a special top grade material, Nubia called it "glass metal." This material uses a 6-series aluminum alloy through a complex process to grind the metal to a shiny, glass-like texture. While enhancing the aesthetic sense, it does not reduce the hardness of the body at all.
To create such a "glass metal" version of the Nubia Z17, to go through 25 processing procedures, 15 days processing time, in the process of processing, a drop of sand will lead to the scrap of the entire plate, so only 15% The ultra-low yield. It is foreseeable that the pre-production of this version will probably be very tight, and children's shoes that you want to purchase must fight quickly.
Finally, Nubian Z17 also supports outdoor waterproof, the receiver, Type-C interface, etc. have undergone rigorous waterproof processing, can be achieved splash-proof, and even can be placed in the water for a short moment to soak.
Overall, the texture of the metal was demonstrated on the Nubian Z17. Founder's tough shape with metal texture, making the whole distribution of masculinity, very cool.
Camera: large size sensor, portrait mode sister favorite
For the front camera, the Nubian Z17 is equipped with a 16-megapixel ISOCELL CMOS lens, and the light absorption rate of the pixels is improved. With the support of the 5P lens group and the F2.0 lens, the excellent image quality performance is improved, and the screen light is supported. The features and rich beauty modes also enhance the fun of shooting.
Nubia Z17's dual camera is a "color + color" program, the two cameras are wide-angle design, this design is more special in the current dual camera phone. The main camera is the 12 million-pixel IMX362, which supports full-pixel dual-core focusing, with a unit area of ​​1.4μm, an aperture of F1.8, a 6P mirror set, and a sapphire glass lens. The secondary camera uses a 23 million-pixel IMX318 sensor that supports the PDAF phase focusing function with an aperture of F2.0. It also has a 6P mirror set and a sapphire glass lens.
The full-pixel dual-core focusing technology is worth mentioning. This is a technology widely used in professional camera platforms such as SLR cameras. Canon 5D Mark IV, 7D Mark II and other models are equipped. The device equipped with this technology can focus on each pixel on the CMOS, and the two photodiodes represented by each pixel will receive light independently and be combined as one pixel during imaging.
Nubia Z17 divides all pixels in CMOS into two, and two pixels can be imaged independently. By comparing the difference between two independent images, the actual distance between the subject and us is calculated to achieve rapid Focus and track focus.
1, self portrait beauty
The front camera's hardware configuration is also unambiguous, and supports the screen fill light function, you only need to be responsible for the laugh, everything else is handed to the camera, you must get the United States and the United States photos.
2. Portrait mode
Portrait mode 2.0 adds artificial intelligence algorithm (including AI algorithm, imaginary algorithm), supports 17-level blur adjustment and 3D face detection, can intelligently recognize the silhouette of human portraits, and the rear camera also supports beauty mode with 10 levels of beauty. Yan function. With the customized depth of field chip, the effect is more moving. This function can also shoot some small objects, and supports electronic aperture, as well as the ability to take pictures before focusing.
Portrait mode off; portrait mode on
From the proofs, it can be seen that after the portrait mode is started, the depth of field effect is obvious, and it is easier to highlight the character's position in the screen.
The effect of blurring is also relatively natural. It can accurately identify the outline of a character, even when photographed in a complex background, the success rate is relatively high. The background also has a light effect, and the screen gives a softer feeling to people. This is not even the current Apple iPhone 7 Plus portrait mode.
3, 2x dual camera zoom
The main camera and the secondary camera work together to achieve a very close to lossless effect in the 2x zoom state. Let's take a look at the actual shooting results.
As can be seen from the above proofs, in the 2x zoom state, the details of the picture are still clearly visible, which is comparable to the optical zoom, and the lossless zoom effect can be almost achieved.
4, high purity night shoot
The sensor is also a major advantage of the Nubian Z17, the main camera sensor size is 1/2.55 inches, the unit pixel area is 1.4μm, with F1.8's large aperture, can provide sufficient light into the unit of time.
In addition to the portrait mode, the night shooting function is also a place where individuals are more satisfied. It can more realistically restore the screen of the Chinese lanterns.
When photographed in a poor light environment, the Nubian Z17's screen is still very pure, and it is difficult to perceive noise, and the color performance is as satisfying as ever.
More proof appreciation
Nubian Z17's enhancement in portrait photography is more impressive, and it is very practical in real life situations. With the upgrade of sensors, the low-light control capability has also been significantly improved.
System section: A lot of usability and ease of use have been improved
Nubia Z17 runs Nubia UI 5.0 based on Android 7.0. Compared with the previous version, the new version has undergone significant updates and improvements from the visual design and function level, and has improved a lot in usability and ease of use. .
As a whole, Nubia UI 5.0 has many changes in its design, but basically it can be seen at a glance is the UI design of Nubia's mobile phone. The new color matching system is more dynamic and younger. The lock screen pictorial still maintains the same high quality as the old version, and left and right can freely switch between different lock screen wallpapers.
The new version implements the idea of ​​integrating the circle into it. This unique circle design can be seen in many on-premises applications.
Users who have used Nubian phones should be aware of the FiT edge gesture feature. Version 5.0 has added a new feature, the FiT Card, which allows you to easily and quickly view and preview important information and documents.
This seemingly similar function of the Apple 3D Touch is actually quite similar, because Nubia Z17 does not have pressure touch, so this shortcut is called out by long press icon. The music function can switch songs, while the roaming function can long press to quickly purchase overseas traffic.
It is worth mentioning that Nubia UI 5.0 supports the NeoSmart engine, has deep learning capabilities, can learn the user's habits, and intelligently allocate resources to each APP, to a certain extent to solve the problem of Caton, power consumption.
"Glory to the King" can be said to be one of the hottest mobile games at the moment. If you also play this game, then once someone calls in, it will go crazy. Maybe this time the key group battle will be lost. Nubia UI 5.0 supports game mode. It will intelligently identify most game scenarios. The incoming call will not jump directly to the answering phone interface, but only an answering interface will appear at the top, which is very convenient.
Hardware section: Snapdragon 835+ up to 8GB RAM
From the hardware point of view, Nubian Z17 does not have any place to be picky.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 is the top-matching processor in all Android phones this year, and it can even be said to have none. On this processor, Qualcomm did not adopt the ARM-based instruction set autonomy architecture on the Xiaolong 820. Instead, it made a semi-custom design based on the ARM public version of the architecture. As for the Cortex- The A72 is still Cortex-A73, and Qualcomm can only rely on speculation without revealing more information. However, the performance of the Snapdragon 835 processor is beyond doubt.
In terms of storage combinations, Nubian Z17's starting memory this time directly reached 6GB LPDDR4X, and with 64/128GB UFS 2.1 flash memory, in addition, this machine is also the first to use up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM + 128GB UFS 2.1 The top combination of ROM, no doubt, Nubian Z17 has become a domestic mobile phone equipped with 8GB RAM.
If there is anything that restricts the development of mobile phones, it is not performance, nor is it a camera, but a battery. Increasing the battery capacity and increasing the battery density are common methods, but there is also a way to save the country by curve: Since there is no way to significantly increase the life of a mobile phone, it will speed up the charging speed of the mobile phone. Technology is born and born.
The Nubian Z17 is the world’s first handset to support the QC 4+ fast charging technology. This new technology can be seen as an upgraded version of QC 4.0. QC4.0 is a solution launched by Qualcomm at the end of last year. The charging time is shorter and the efficiency is higher. Compared with QC 3.0, the charging speed of QC4.0 is increased by up to 20%, and the efficiency is improved by up to 30%. 5V/5.6 is adopted. A and 9V/3A specifications, the maximum output power of up to 28W, and as an upgraded version of QC 4.0, after a lapse of six months Qualcomm launched a 4.0 version of the QC 4 +, from the PPT point of view, QC 4 + charging speed can be Speed ​​15%, 30% higher efficiency, and 3°C lower temperature (compared to QC 4.0). It can be said that the fast charging speed of the Nubian Z17 is worth looking forward to.
Unfortunately, the Nubian Z17's bundled charging head only supports QC 3.0. Naturally, Nubia is the first company to eat crabs. It is necessary to consider the safety issues that QC 4+ may bring, such as fever, after all. Charge is not a unilateral addition, but related to the improvement of battery technology, wire, fast charging and other technologies, therefore, Nubian did not come with a QC 4+ fast charge header to understand - a conservative approach in exchange for the user's Safety, at least not wrong.
On the network side, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor on the Nubian Z17 integrates the X16 LTE Modem with a downstream rate of up to 1 Gbps, a 50% increase over the previous generation, and an upstream rate of 150 Mbps. Nubia Z17 supports 7 Net 24-bit Netcom 4G+, supports ACL/MAAT (Adaptive Optimized Antenna Performance), DPDT (Dual Antenna Automatic Switching), and ET (Reduced Communication Power Consumption) technologies, greatly improving the communication experience. In addition, Snapdragon 835 also supports MiMo 2x2 WiFi technology, which can achieve a wider range of WiFi coverage, its data throughput is 2 times that of 1x1 Wi-Fi, and can effectively reduce delay and packet loss rate.
to sum up
Nubia Z17 reference price: read... image reviews
Personally, Nubian Z17's camera function is the most attractive, especially in the process of photography with the sister, the quality of the camera's camera is highly praised. In addition to a powerful dual camera, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and Nubian Z17 up to 8GB RAM speed does not need to question, coupled with practical waterproof design, human features, and close to the trend of color, I believe this machine is very It is possible to become a dark horse on the market and the competitiveness should not be underestimated.
