360N5s is a 360 mobile phone on May 23, 2017 launch of the new flagship youth model, 360N5s fuselage before and after 2.5D arc glass, with Mirage Black and deep sea blue two color options, while also continuing the Xiaolong 653 treatment Device, 6GB large storage, 18W turbo charger and other features, and upgrade the front of 13 million PDAF phase focus dual camera, equipped with a 360 OS 2.0 based on Android 7.1 simple system.
The above is Baidu Encyclopedia's 360N5S mobile phone introduction and official website's publicity picture, double-sided 2.5D arc glass appearance, front dual camera and the latest system can be said to be the three selling points of this new machine. The new machine has reached the end of the week and has made a non-professional evaluation. It is conducted from the perspective of ordinary users. If you want to see an article full of science and technology content, you may be disappointed, but if you want to understand this phone In the daily use of the relevant circumstances, want to have a general understanding of the phone before the purchase, I think this evaluation article can still provide some useful information. The focus of my review is on the appearance, camera and system experience. It also takes into account some other content (games, fingerprints, charging, and battery life) to achieve a comprehensive and focused approach. The structure is as follows:
First, the appearance of value
Second, camera experience
Third, the system experience
Fourth, other experience
V. Evaluation summary
First, the appearance of valueBefore introducing the appearance and appearance value, first of all, let's introduce the company that makes 360 mobile phones. The 360 ​​mobile phone was formerly a cool and cool mobile phone produced by Qihoo Technology, a joint venture between Cool and Qihoo 360. Qihoo 360 began as an independent operator of Qikuo Technology and will be the "Great God" and "Qiqiu" after the demolition of CoolTV. The two brands are unified as "360 mobile phones" and set up three major product lines: F (comfortable), N (cool) and Q (technical). This nearly a year, 360 mobile phones released a total of four products, all for the N series, respectively N4, N4S, N5, N5S, from the point of view of the product line released, at this stage 360 ​​mobile phones still put the target on the thousands Yuan machine market, the main audience for young people, and the main cost-effective. Under the background of increasingly fierce competition in the mobile phone market, the 360 ​​mobile phone, as an Internet brand, can grab a new place and continue to grow. It also benefits from its clear strategic positioning and fairly good quality. How does the 360 ​​N5S phone perform in the end? Let's take a look.
1, packaging360 N5S mobile phone packaging continues the consistent style of the 360 ​​mobile phone, whole body big red, bright and impressive, simple and neat, positive in addition to the 360 ​​logo, no extra content, the bottom of the back is the basic information of the machine.
Open the box and put all the accessories in order, in addition to the mobile phone host, power adapter, data cable, manual, warranty card and card pin, there is a 1699 yuan with mobile phones and other value of "Youth Three Kingdoms" hand travel package. When the mobile phone main unit is shipped from the factory, non-steel non-full-screen high-transmission protection films have been attached to the front and back.
This 360 uses the double-sided 2.5D arc surface glass material on the N5S mobile phone for the first time. Although this technology was already adopted by mobile phone manufacturers, it was the first time on the 360 ​​mobile phone. Using a metal middle frame, the sanding is very delicate, and a certain degree of frosted coating treatment is done. The transitional connection with the front and rear glass is very smooth and natural, and the back is treated with bright lines. It is very beautiful under a certain angle and light. . The machine is mellow, solid grip, not easy to fall off.
The 360N5S mobile phone is equipped with a 5.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920*1080, a pixel density of 401ppi, and a 100% sRGB color gamut. Even under bright light, the display effect is very clear, with no graininess. In the default standard mode setting, the screen tone is somewhat cold, but it can be adjusted in the system settings, and supports custom mode to select according to personal feeling. The black border of the mobile phone screen is not narrow, about 3 mm, but the display effect of the 2.5D arc glass offsets the intuitive feeling of a part of the large black border. The use of medium-view is very good. The background of the mobile phone is set to black and borders are merged. One, much better than "ID without borders". At the bottom of the front screen are three virtual buttons. The Home button also incorporates a breathing light. It is displayed in red during normal operation and charging. It is green when there are unread messages and is fully charged.
Dual front camera, symmetrical design, visual effects are very good, hard to pick one thing, is the "size eye", vice camera than the main camera will be smaller, haha; rear single camera, single LED fill light The camera is designed to integrate into the back glass layer. The lens periphery has a circle of CD mirror textures. It is well protected and adds a sense of beauty. Below the camera is a fill light.
The top of the phone is a 3.5mm headphone jack and noise reduction microphone, it is very simple.
The bottom of the mobile phone is a microphone, USB data line interface and speaker from left to right. No symmetrical design is made, but the opening is relatively neat and does not affect the overall effect.
The upper left side of the mobile phone is a card slot, and there is no other one, which is quite satisfactory. The upper right side is the volume key and the power button. These two buttons are also a feature highlighted at the press conference. Very good, press feedback solid, the power button in the middle has also done a special treatment, beautiful and practical.
Summary: The change in appearance can be said to be a breakthrough in the value of mobile phone 360 ​​this time, from N4 to N5 feels are carved out of a mold inside, so that the N5S big face change is called amazing, although the market is double There are already a lot of mobile phone glasses, but 360 has made its own characteristics and its own beauty. The black machine gives a feeling of calm atmosphere without losing the flavor of fashion. The sleek fuselage makes the two different materials of glass and metal unite well together. The physical buttons and rear camera after special treatment ensure the practicality. At the same time, sex maximizes the visual experience. At the same time, the fuselage workmanship is very solid, the details of the processing is very good, almost no details can be picked out of the short board, but also do not want to pick what a short board. You also want to say that maybe the blue ones will look better. At the very least, the publicity picture looks better than the black ones. Jingdong has already begun booking appointments for the blue and black 128GB versions, priced at RMB 1699 and RMB 1999 respectively.
Second, camera experienceThis 360 uses the front dual camera on the N5S mobile phone, 13 million pixel main camera with 2 million pixel depth of field camera, and a soft light, but hidden in the screen, support PDAF phase focus (first) , Real-time beauty blur; rear 13 megapixel single camera, single LED fill light, aperture F/2.0, support PDAF phase focus. So what exactly is the imaging effect? It took a day to take pictures on the weekend, and take a look at the sample shots below.
1, the system camera interfaceThe mobile phone camera has a simple operation interface, and the lower part can select the shooting mode, providing panoramic, video, photo, beauty and professional options. The upper part is the flash, setting button, pepper camera, filter and front camera switch button. In particular, the phone camera is equipped with a pepper cell camera, which greatly improves the playability of the camera.
Because it is not a professional evaluation, the imaging effect on the camera is based on the individual's first intuitive feeling. Through the above sample analysis, 360N5S imaging results in all scenarios are very good, especially in low light conditions can also be more accurately restore the scene, the restoration of the color is accurate, in the details of the reduction on the difference, but In addition to cell phone photography, no one will zoom in to 100% to see, without affecting the overall effect. Specifically: during the day, the indoor and outdoor imaging effects are excellent, and the reduction of the detail color is more accurate, but the feeling is that there is always some slight overexposure in the default automatic mode; the night indoor performance is also acceptable, but the overall feeling of the picture is somewhat dark Nighttime outdoor photography noise control is fairly good, but the details of the restoration do almost; macro performance is good, details and color reproduction are more accurate, background blur effects can be considered.
7, front dual cameraWhen the front dual camera was started to take pictures, it was divided into seven levels of blur. In the evaluation, I took two sets of photos. Each group took photos from the first to the seventh levels of the blur, and made each group of photos together. . The first row of the first row is 1, 2, 3 levels of blur, the second row is 4 levels of blur, the third row is 5, 6, 7 levels of blur, the second group of the first column is 1, 2, 3 Level of ambiguity, the second column is 4 levels of ambiguity, the third column is 5, 6, 7 levels of ambiguity. Why do four levels of ambiguity require three shots? The first group is made up when drawing, one photo is made three times, and the second group of four levels of imaginary is taken three shots. The reason why three shots were taken was because the four-level blur often caused problems. In the tests, the success rate at the time of four-level shooting was very low, and the portraits were often blurred. The background was very clear.
After careful analysis of the proofs taken, the differences in the blur effect of levels 1, 2, and 3 are still observable. The differences in the blur effects of levels 5, 6, and 7 are not obvious, and the facial, physical, and The position of the clothes and the background can accurately distinguish the blur effect is very good, the edge blur is relatively clear, the effect is more natural, but the blur to the hair is very vague, the sense of smear is very serious. The first set of pictures, because the back of the hair is a tower, the blur effect is still good, but in the second set of figures, the back of the hair is the leaves, the hair and the edges of the leaves are blurred, and because of my hair at the temples Thin, the second set of figures is also blurred here, the whole face seems strange. Actually doing double front camera is a more risky choice, because the main function of the front camera is to self-timer, and mainly concentrated in the person's upper body and face, and the details of the person's head, especially the hair is better than pure Plants or still-life are much more abundant, and blurry still life can't be said to be good-looking, but blurring facials is not good. The blur effect brought by the 360's front dual camera is quite good, and the background is not particularly complicated, or the facial effect can be clearly differentiated from the facial head of the character. However, if the background is complex or when it is similar to the face of a person, the blur effect is not particularly satisfactory. I believe we can do better in the later version optimization. It is recommended to select 3 levels of blur when using the front camera to use dual camera, to give up the double camera when the background is particularly complicated, and to use a single camera with beauty can also bring good results.
8, pepper and cameraThe peppercorn camera and beauty effects are not tested here. The peppercorn camera has a high playability. Taking photos and making small videos are very interesting. The beauty also provides seven levels. Individuals choose according to their preferences.
Summary: At the press conference on the front double camera is quite good, to meet the shooting needs of most scenes, the details of the virtual office can also be satisfactory, with their own beauty effects, is like self-timer The gospel of the people. And precious but 360 did not ignore the rear camera because of the focus on the front dual camera, the actual test proved that as a 1699 price mobile phone, 360N5S rear camera imaging results are very good.
Third, the system experience360 mobile phones have not been used before, so this 360OS can be said to be completely used from the perspective of a new user. The following will be presented separately from the overall experience of the system and the use of features.
1, the overall feeling of the system360N5S is equipped with the latest 360OS2.0 based on Android7.1, thanks to excellent hardware and the latest version of the system, in the running process, the system is very smooth, there is no slightest sense of dull, in the standard version of the theme of the overall UI The style is fresh, but it is not art, switching the animation effect is natural. There are no differences in the operation modes of the various functions of the mobile phone and most of the mobile phone systems in the market. Therefore, even though it is the first time to use it, you do not need to re-familiarize yourself with the new system. The mobile phone replacement machine assistant can synchronize old phone information with one key after connecting. However, from a different point of view, it also shows that the 360OS is not much different from the mainstream Android smart smart phone system in the market. It is even a bit like the combination of Xiaomi MIUI and Meizu Flyme. Actually, this is understandable. In the case where the industry as a whole converges, The characteristics of each system have become the focus of competition. In this regard, 360OS still has its own material. We will mention it below.
Cold room: The application that is not commonly used is dragged into a cold room, and the mobile phone completely restricts the refrigerating application. The application icon disappears from the desktop and is put into the cold room. This saves the space of the desktop and also saves the memory of the mobile phone. To a certain extent, improve the speed of mobile phones and save power.
Private system: access to the privacy system through fingerprints, dial pad input passwords, or desktop icon input passwords. Software and files, pictures, videos, audios, etc. that are added to the private system are isolated. All operations and operation results are left in the private system. Protected by isolation, effective protection of information security.
Location traversal: In fact, it is through the location of choice through the APP to provide the location of the crossing, in the support of several software location information will be simulated to the location after crossing, suitable for fooling in the circle of friends, pro-test is valid, but the location can not be freely set It can only be selected from the alternative locations given by the software.
Infinity: applications open, applications supported by the software, each application can choose to perform up to 100 aliases, and do not interfere with each other between applications, support for commonly used social communications and shopping software and some mobile games, but do not support Aunt Zhang does not support the most popular "King of the Glory" at the moment. Later, it may be adapted through version upgrades.
FastZone: Application acceleration, applications that join FastZone will be locked, not affected by the system's cleanup of memory, etc. In the process of application switching, the waiting time is greatly reduced, and almost seconds are opened. This function is for game lovers. May be the most needed.
Transform: Resident on the right sidebar, can quickly switch applications, quick split screen. By sliding out the sidebar, the background application is displayed vertically, click the icon to switch applications, eliminating the need to press the function button on the lower left corner to call the background application to select the steps, and drag the application to the home screen to complete the points Screen operation is very convenient. However, it should be noted that not all applications can be split screen. After a split screen application is selected, a split screen icon will be displayed in the upper left corner of the application that supports split screen. At present, Aunt Zhang has no support and LeTV does not support it. Personally think that the meaning of splitting on a 5.5-inch screen is not particularly large, but it will cause inconvenient operation, and there are some applications that support split screen, the system will also prompt "The application may not be able to operate normally in split-screen mode", but Fast switching application function is very easy to use.
Summary: In addition to the official promotion of "black technology", in the use of the past few days also found some intimate details of the 360OS, such as cross-folder view APP, merge the app into a folder automatically named, lock screen shutdown Need to be unlocked to enter the system, SMS full-screen input and other functions are very intimate; at the same time, the system deeply integrates 360 security software, application market and browser, better than third-party applications, any one mobile phone manufacturers will be in the phone Applying these three items as a system application and not uninstalling, 360 did so. I don’t know why it’s so dark, and I’ve been scolded as a rogue; this time in the N5S mobile phone 360, about 50% of my own applications were deleted. Only one type is left for each type and most of them can be deleted. The system is streamlined and the system has no advertisements and is pure. Of course, the system is not perfect. There are some flaws. For example, when the software acquires the system authority, it will repeat the prompt seven or eight times when it clicks OK. I believe that it will do better in the later version optimization. On the whole, the 360OS can be said to be a system that is easy to use, smooth and concise, humanized consideration is very good, thanks to excellent hardware infrastructure and good safety technology accumulation, can be in terms of entertainment, safety and practicality It's nice to get trade-offs and satisfaction.
Fourth, other experiences (games, fingerprints, charging and battery life, etc.) 1. Game featuresIn fact, on the phone's own configuration, the combination of Snapdragon 653+Adreno510+6GB LPDDR3+64GB (supporting 128GB expansion) is no longer a problem. As early as the N5 mobile phone market, 360 is to promote the game performance as a selling point, playing "King of the glory" and "Need for Speed" can achieve full frame rate, so in this case the hardware configuration has not changed, in the release 360 did not focus on highlighting N5S game performance. I still did a test with "Glory to the King". The facts proved that the official said it was right. I will not say any more. The game party can play with confidence. With FastZone and Transform, it is almost flying.
2, fingerprint identificationThe 360N5S mobile phone adopts post-fingerprint recognition and can enter up to five fingerprints. The fingerprint supports the function of unlocking the screen, dialing the phone, Alipay WeChat payment, and unlocking the screen and opening the application at the same time. The input of the fingerprint measurement generally requires 12 repeated multi-angle acquisitions to successfully enter. In addition, because the fingerprint unlocking does not need to unlock the transition of the screen picture but directly enters the desktop, the unlocking speed is very fast, and the success rate of fingerprint recognition is also very high, but as a non-push type recognition, in many cases, other objects touch the mobile phone will also perform Identify and vibrate to indicate recognition failure. When I wiped the back of the phone with a wipe, the wet wipes touched the fingerprint recognition module and there was feedback.
360N5S mobile phone is equipped with a 3730mAh large capacity battery, supports QC3.0 fast charge. In the actual measurement, the mobile phone was used until it was automatically turned off (the actual remaining 2% of the battery power was automatically shut down), and the battery was turned off and charged to 20%. The battery was turned on to continue charging, and no operation was performed during the charging. The actual charge time was 97 minutes. In the first 85%, you can increase the power consumption by 6% per five minutes on average (only artificial statistics, there may be errors, but at least 5%, at most 7%, so take the median 6%), after charging to 85%, charging The speed is slow, about 3% every five minutes. It should be trickle charging. It is also a wise choice to charge after the fast charge reaches a certain level to meet the use. For electricity, moderate use of a day is absolutely no problem. It takes about 40 minutes to charge 45% of electricity, 97% to fill 100%, and there is a gap between the official full charge of 45% for half an hour and 100% for mobile phones in 85 minutes, but the charging rate is acceptable. For the charging time, 360N5S is satisfactory. However, in the early period of fast charge, the mobile phone fever is obvious, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a sacrifice for fast charging.
Fully charged without any operation, data and WiFi connection is turned off, power consumption is about 1% for one night in normal mode (about 8 hours), 15% for video in 60 minutes, and 1% for 30 minutes in headphones. The minute WeChat video call consumes 6% of the power. In 40 minutes, "The King's Glory" consumes 14% of the electricity. The above five power consumption tests are not performed continuously at the same time, but the impact on the results should not be significant. Through testing, we can see that after two and a half hours of multiple functions, the mobile phone can still use about 60% of the remaining battery power. The battery life is still very good. In normal circumstances, using one day is absolutely no problem.
4, run a sub-barIn fact, I do not want to run points, but since it is evaluation, then run about it. Do not know why, Ann Bunny always shows the failure of the Internet connection when running, it may be 360 ​​restrictions on the security Bunny it. So he used Lu again and ran again. Specific scores are shown in the screenshot below. The specific data is not explained. In short, all functions are in the upper middle level and safe enough to use.
It can be said that the performance of 360N5S mobile phones is satisfactory in all aspects. The appearance, front dual camera and several special features mentioned at the conference can also be regarded as bright spots, in the Jingdong 618 mobile phone list. The 360N5S mobile phone has been on the list for many times, and has repeatedly won the 1500~1999 yuan mobile phone single product sales championship position, which also proves the market and consumers of this product's affirmation and like, but good does not mean that this perfect, following from the advantages In terms of both disadvantages and disadvantages.
advantage:1, high value, is the selling point is a bright spot is also an advantage. When the difference in mobile phone sex can be smaller and smaller, a favorite appearance is a very important factor in making a purchase decision.
2, front double photo beauty, although not perfect, but it can be said that the 360's attempt is successful, comes with the camera's playability is also very high.
3, the system is practical, 360OS is definitely its advantages, smooth and simple, high security, feature features are doing very well.
4, the configuration is high enough, the system version is new enough, no pressure in the daily use process.
5, large battery, fast charge, long battery life, to meet the needs of patients with severe mobile phone use.
Disadvantages:1, the same is the problem of face value, Yan value is high enough, but is too straight male aesthetic, to give a few female colleagues to see, feel like but not good-looking, "like but does not look good" is what kind of emotional color I It's not very understandable. Anyway, it will be carefully considered before buying. Here's a question about a target user. I'll talk about it in the end.
2, praised the front, have to say about the rear, in the premise of double-camera premise, the back of the single camera with a single fill light, it is inevitable a bit shabby, although it turns out that 360 did not emphasize the front camera While ignoring the postposition, its imaging effect is still relatively good, but the facts also prove that under normal circumstances the use of rear camera is much more than the front camera.
3. The fingerprint identification module of the mobile phone is too high. It may be because the rear camera and fill light are concentrated in the upper left corner, and the position of the fingerprint recognition module is also adjusted upwards. My hand is about 18 centimeters from the middle finger to the root of the palm. It is a bit difficult to unlock the fingerprint with a single hand. It can be imagined that girls with smaller palms have difficulty in fingerprint recognition with one hand.
4,360 In the N series of mobile phones has not used USB Type-C interface, but the use of the traditional USB interface, although many types of mobile phone use the Type-C interface is "pseudo Type-C", that is only available The appearance of Type-C does not increase in transmission speed, but in terms of personal feelings, Type-C can't be blindly inserted. This advantage is very practical, and the use of 360N5S socket is a bit astringent, not very easy to insert. pull.
PS: Before the product link was placed in the middle of the article, it was inconvenient to view it. According to the suggestion, the link of the product in Jingdong was placed here.

Finally, a little digression is the target user of this phone. According to the appearance and the system, this phone is more suitable for business people, the appearance of calm and atmosphere without losing the sense of fashion, the system is safe and practical, it is in line with the needs of business people; from the front dual camera, this phone is suitable for self-portrait female Children, and the system camera built-in pepper camera, whether self-timer or small video can be beautiful; from the configuration point of view, this phone is suitable for the game party and science and technology party like to play machine; mobile phone is very practical, buy and send parents is also good select. It seems that this is a mobile phone that is suitable for almost everyone, 360 seems to want to use a mobile phone to please all users, but this is bound to be impossible. The self-portrait's sister is not particularly bad for straight men's aesthetic appearance; business people feel that the front dual camera is a tasteless, and the rear camera does not seem to meet the demand; 360 from the system level to the phone brush machine, root restrictions, like the science and technology party Nothing can be done. From this point of view, the target positioning of 360 for this N5S mobile phone is relatively vague, of course, this does not affect the mobile phone sales, this phone is still fully recognized by users, sales data is the best proof. Just want to say that when companies are doing products, they should still be clear about the target customers of the product, and the main target groups can attract other non-target users to be more suitable for everyone but not for everyone. The product will be more popular. As a growing company that is in the ascendant period, if 360 can continue to make more and better and more popular products in the mobile phone field, it will be just one of the backbones in the mobile phone industry.
