999 yuan, known as the most cost-effective mobile phone among the current 5-inch big screen ranks; Such a large-screen mobile phone with a strange proportion of "fresh Internet mobile phone ideas" has positioned its user base as a "micro-human" living in a new media and lifestyle like "Weibo and Mobile Internet" and vowed to create the best mobile Internet and video experience for it.
Large screen dual-core 1GHz only 999 evaluation
The mobile phone uses a 960×640 resolution screen and a large screen with a special length-width ratio of 3: 2, and the display area is 10% larger than that of other ratios of 5.0 inches; The CPU scheme adopts MT6577 dual-core 1G processor based on A9 architecture, with 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM space. The front and back of the fuselage are equipped with a 2-megapixel front HD camera and a 5-megapixel back-illuminated rear camera, with a 2450mAh battery inside.

Mobile phone evaluation
The target users of mobile phones are mobile Internet hipsters, who are the trendsetters in the game group and are used to using Weibo, WeChat and mobile Internet. The main selling point of the mobile phone is that it can bring the ultimate Internet experience to consumers-in short, can it realize these wishes to be a mobile phone with the best experience of surfing the Internet and watching videos? Next, I’ll reveal it for you.
The mobile phone is currently open for booking on the official website. After logging in to official website for booking successfully, you will be eligible for the first round of mobile phone purchase. The specific time point is: the payment will be officially opened at 10 am on November 15, and each account will be limited to 3 sets; From November 20th, the goods will be delivered in the order of payment; Limited quantity, please visit on time.
Note: the Dakele card speaker used in the article is a customized version of the gift, not the official standard accessory of the mobile phone.
Appearance: large screen, wider field of vision and thick workmanship.
From the front, I believe that most people need to re-adapt to this size ratio; The 960×640 is adopted, which has the same resolution and screen ratio. Because of its large width, it is "simple and honest" in appearance compared with other 5-inch large screens. And it doesn’t look like a mobile phone that can be handled with one hand.
Front design of mobile phone
The top of the mobile phone is a long net-shaped receiver, and the light and distance sensors are designed in the lower right corner; The position of the front camera is a little off-center, which means that if you want to take a selfie or something, you need to move your face away for a long distance.
Moreover, as far as the evaluation machine I got is concerned, there is a problem with the front camera framing. The framing of the mobile phone will be elongated in the vertical state, and it will be elongated in the horizontal state, but there is no problem with the photos taken.
front-facing camera
At the bottom of the front of the fuselage, there is a unique long oval solid button, and the design is not bad after corner cutting, but such a narrow button is doomed to be difficult to press; Moreover, it can not realize the function of "unlocking" the screen, but can only "return to the main interface".

Thick navy blue back design
The back of the mobile phone adopts a color scheme similar to navy blue, with a smooth and rounded integrated design; The four peripheral corners of the back cover are concave and arc-shaped, so that hands can conform to the arc to adapt to such a large size. The entire back cover and fuselage panel are very, very susceptible to fingerprints.
The back cover of the fuselage is designed with a groove for opening in the lower right corner, but the locking of the back cover of the mobile phone is much tighter than that of the general mobile phone, and it takes a lot of effort to pull it open … But on the other hand, the protection of the inside of the fuselage is also guaranteed.
Smooth navy blue back cover
The back cover feels slippery, but it is very susceptible to fingerprints.
The back of the fuselage is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera, which is protected by metal strips; Below is a small LED fill light, in addition to the epade (possibly OEM) logo and the official logo. The speaker is in the lower left corner.
The top of the fuselage is designed with a screen lock/shutdown button and earphone jack in the center, and the bottom is a microUSB data cable interface and microphone; Because it is located on the metal strip that wraps the fuselage, it should be said that the workmanship of several buttons and interfaces is still good.

The bottom data line interface is connected with the speaker and microphone.
Screen: 960×640 for a 5-inch size. Is it cheating?
Although the "face" is very big, it has arrived, but the screen resolution is not satisfactory, which is also the place that was widely spit out after the press conference that day; However, the ppi of the calculated screen is also about 230, which is roughly equivalent to the clarity of the PSV screen and much better than the 163 of a larger device like the iPad mini. Although it can’t be as delicate as 4S Retina, it’s really not as bad as I thought. Everyone is just spoiled by some high-resolution 5-inch screens.
Real shot effect of screen font
Because of the 5-inch screen, the special screen ratio of 3:2, and the positioning of "micro-humans" who don’t take the usual path, the "traditional concept" of operating with one hand is basically impossible on the mobile phone; The size of the whole fuselage is 147*85.6*10.9mm, which can still maintain a good thickness.
Horizontal effect of mobile phone
Compared with the big screen, 10.9mm is still a good thickness
As for the effect of one-handed operation, you can refer to this picture. Therefore, for such a device that looks like an e-book or tablet instead of a conventional mobile phone, it is better to operate it with both hands or use it horizontally like that.
Mobile phones can hardly be operated with one hand.
It is also difficult to hold it with one hand.
The mobile phone supports dual card dual standby function, WCDMA and GSM dual card slot design, both of which are standard SIM cards; A microSD card slot is designed above the battery compartment, which can support an external memory card with a maximum capacity of 32GB; The battery is replaceable, and the battery capacity is large enough to reach 2450mAh.
Dual card dual standby function and design of 2450mAh battery
Does not support two-way communication.
The phone interface and SMS interface of mobile phones are simple, and they can be operated with one hand when dialing. Although dual card dual standby is supported, dual pupil is not supported. In addition, hot plugging and unplugging of mobile phone cards is not supported, so it is recommended that you do not plug and unplug mobile phone cards when booting.
System: Baidu Cloud ROM and supports any brush machine.
In terms of system, it is very open and advocates "arbitrary brushing". Set up development teams with Baidu and Le Frog to customize ROM to create a good user experience in business search and entertainment and social interaction.
System: Baidu Cloud ROM
The evaluation machine we got is equipped with Baidu Cloud ROM Business Search Edition, and many built-in Baidu services can easily realize cloud storage of address books, photo albums, documents and so on, making search ubiquitous, and there are lossless music playback and massive genuine music libraries. The cloud address book can realize the functions of re-integrated group display mode, national public number library and harassing phone library, and its hot word unlocking can also let users know the latest hot spots on the Internet at any time.
In addition, users can also choose to brush into Android native or other systems, and pre-installed applications can also be deleted freely.
Baidu cloud ROMsb/sth attracting attention
It can be said that because it is a ROM produced by Baidu, in addition to many services launched by Baidu, the content of "search" is also everywhere, and you can directly see the current hot word search from the locked screen state.
Lock screen interface and home screen design
There are many Baidu customized services built into the system.

Highlights of "Bit by Bit Search"
Use effect of drip search
Among many search services, "Drip Search" is a very good highlight-it can realize the function of grabbing and searching words on any interface of the system; Let’s try it with examples.
We open "Sina" without any search function. When the "Drip Search" function is opened in the drop-down notification bar, a drip-style search icon will appear on the interface. Drag the icon to any word and click it, and a small window will pop up in the current interface to display the search results.
Mobile Internet: Cooperation of Multiple Content Providers
It is reported that in order to bring a more comprehensive mobile Internet experience to micro-human beings in the Mobile 5.0 era, users can enjoy a lot of paid content for free by deeply cooperating with LeTV TV, which has the most copyright of genuine film and television dramas, and the paid novel reading platform with the largest installed capacity in China.
It is said that users can get the free VIP qualification of LeTV for a period of time, but there is no corresponding prompt when we enter the LeTV client; It is better to inform the user clearly in the subsequent update.
Built-in letv video service
Of course, the main selling point is these mobile Internet services, especially web browsing and video experience, e-books, etc. Under this hardware configuration, the speed of loading and parsing web pages is not bad, and the scaling is smooth; There is no dissatisfaction when watching video online under the condition of good network.

As for local multimedia, the scheme of MT6577+PowerVR SGX531 used in mobile phones is very familiar to us, so it is not difficult for ordinary 720P and 1080P, but it will be very difficult to encounter 1080P video with higher specification and bit rate.

Photographing: 5 megapixel rear camera sample
It is equipped with a 5 megapixel rear-illuminated CMOS camera and a 2 megapixel front camera; Although the system is not native to Android 4.0, there are not many options that can be adjusted for taking pictures, so let’s take a look at the imaging quality of its camera. You can still click on the picture to view the original big picture that has not been processed and cut.

The color reproduction is not bad, the contrast of indoor proofs is slightly low, and the graininess of weak light is enhanced, but it is also within a relatively normal range. The overall effect can meet the basic needs of taking pictures.
Strangely, the rear camera used in the official parameters is 5 million pixels, but the tested hardware parameters are 8 million pixels; The maximum pixel level we can use in the photo application is only 5 million pixels, and the highest resolution of the photo is 2560×1920. At present, it is not clear why.
Core: MT6577 processor +1GB RAM
Considering the price and stability of 999, the common dual-core 1GHz MediaTek MT6577 processor is adopted, with 1GB RAM+4GB ROM and PowerVR SGX531 GPU.
MT6577 adopts Cortex A9 architecture, which is the mainstream dual-core chip, and uses the 40 nm process technology of TFBGA package. In addition, it also has a built-in 1024kb secondary cache, which supports the 667MHz memory specification of lG DDR2 at the highest, and has a single channel with a maximum bandwidth of 2670 m/s.. The default frequency of MT5677 is 1GHz, and its general performance at 1GHz is 2500mips.
Schematic diagram of MediaTek MT6577 chip structure
In the initial boot state, the available memory space is about 826MB, and the available RAM is 572MB, which can still support Android 4.0.4 system and many mobile Internet services. The available storage space of the system is about 1.3GB.
Mobile phone system information
Although the main frequency is not high, the fever of the mobile phone is not optimistic; After we ran two running points which cost more performance than Vellamo after a short time, the temperature on the back of the fuselage quickly rose to the highest of 42.8 degrees Celsius, and concentrated in the area around the camera.

AnTuTu（）
Super Rabbit System Evaluation AnTuTu is a software specially designed for Android system, which can run complete test items with one click, and pass many performance tests such as memory performance, CPU integer performance, CPU floating-point performance, 2D and 3D drawing performance, database I/O, SD card reading and writing speed, and score the overall and individual hardware performance of the mobile phone. At the same time, upload scores and check the ranking of the device in the world.
Score 5020
The reason why AnTuTu’s achievement is put in the first place is that it can not only show the comprehensive strength of hardware, but also provide the breakdown results for reference. RAM indicates the throughput of the machine for data operation, integer/floating-point performance of CPU indicates the computing capability of the processor, 2D/3D drawing performance indicates the rendering capability of the graphics processing chip for images, database I/O performance indicates the access efficiency of the processor and RAM to the database, and SD card writing/reading speed indicates the read-write capability of the body ROM. (At present, this test requires ROM free space greater than 300MB, so if the body storage space /ROM is less than 300MB, this achievement will be ignored, but the total score will be achieved. Theoretically, the higher the score, the stronger the performance.
Quadrant Advanced Edition
Quadrant scored 2414
Developed by Aurora Softworks, Quadrant is a veteran mobile device performance testing tool. Its testing scope includes 12 CPU tests, 1 memory test, 4 I/O tests, 1 2D graphics processing test, and 3 3D graphics processing tests, and finally the comprehensive score of a tested device is fed back. Devices without GPU units cannot run this software. Theoretically, the higher the score, the stronger the hardware comprehensive performance of the tested equipment.
Hardware information screen, GPU, sensor, etc.
Quadrant includes three versions: Standard, Advanced and Professional. The Advanced version not only provides the final test results, but also provides offline browsing and advanced settings. There is no difference in function between Professional and Advanced, except that the former is aimed at commercial users (such as agents and mobile phone manufacturers) and the software price is higher. Our test choice: Quadrant Advanced Edition.
Vellamo
Vellamo scored 1113
Vellamo is a benchmark application developed by Qualcomm (similar to Neocore), which allows you to test the performance and stability of, including Java script performance, rendering, networking and user interface. The result of this tool also includes several sub-items, but we only take the total score. The higher the score, the higher the optimization degree of mobile phone pairs and the better web browsing experience.
Neocore
Neocore 49.7fps supports 5-point touch.
Neocore is a graphical performance benchmark software based on -ES 1.1. After the software is opened, an animation will be played. At the end of the animation, the software will evaluate the machine running the software and get an FPS value. The higher the value, the stronger the mobile phone hardware can handle dynamic images. Accordingly, the higher the screen resolution, the more pixels per unit area need to be rendered, and the greater the load on the graphics chip. In other words, in the case of the same graphics processing chip, the higher the screen resolution, the lower the Neocore value, and the two are in a trade-off relationship.

Evaluation summary:
In terms of screen size alone, considering the positioning of 999 yuan, it still has a good cost-effective competitiveness; As for the intuitive effect brought by the big screen, as long as it is not a 16:9 widescreen movie, the 3:2 ratio can be adapted to the 4: 3 ratio of Internet video, and the visual field and visual experience are not bad. The performance is basically in line with its price positioning, but as far as the fuselage workmanship is concerned, there are still some disadvantages such as heavy fuselage, unsatisfactory thickness, and easy fingerprint contamination and difficult cleaning of materials.
As for the built-in Baidu Cloud ROM, it is an early adopter opportunity for many users, and highlights such as search and security are also reflected; As a "mobile internet phone", we still expect more content related to mobile internet services to appear in the future.
Advantages: 1. The 5-inch large screen is close to the traditional 4: 3 ratio, and the Internet video content experience is good.
2. Considering the price of 999 yuan, the configuration is very cost-effective.
2. There are many built-in mobile Internet partners, and you can get a lot of free content.
Disadvantages: 1. The viewing angle of the screen panel material is not good.
2. The weight of the fuselage is close to 200 grams, the thickness and weight are not ideal, and the fuselage has obvious heating phenomenon.
