Let's take a look at the live video to get started:

Appearance articles: Qianyuan mirror mobile phone, the value of youth is not low-key

As the glory of the first youth version of the product, in the appearance of glory 8 youth version still continues to glorify the glorious high value of 8 above and comfortable grip. In particular, the magical sea blue version of the back of the cool mirror effect, not only makes its appearance more luxurious and exquisite, but also opened the era of the main camera self-timer, let's play together to play with.

First of all, see the front of the fuselage, the classic charm of the sea blue color and glory 8 almost always high face value before the face without too much text to elaborate. 5.2-inch full HD LTPS screen saturation reaches NTSC 96%, and does not shrink, in the sharpness of the text and the screen's fineness is also satisfactory, the wide viewing angle also allows the machine to have more sense of advanced .

The arrangement of components on the top of the fuselage has been changed, and the design of the sensor on the left side has now become a front-mounted 8 megapixel camera placed symmetrically with the sensor, and the middle is the speaker, which also makes the frontal look more regular and natural. There is a hidden notification light in the upper right corner, which lights when charging or when there is a notification.

Glory 8 Youth Edition with full virtual key design still has no physical buttons on the front, the mirrored blue front panel is covered with 2.5D arc glass, and the narrow border high screen ratio design makes the machine's face value the same. The most impressive of the products.

In the sun, the glossy-faced body and glowing blue screen look very bright.

Turned to the back of the fuselage, no major changes in general and glory 8, smooth 2.5D arc glass, rounded body lines is not difficult to make people distinguish this is a glory 8 series models . But if you look closely, it is easy to see some changes in details.

First of all, as the glory of the eight major selling point of the dual camera function is now in the youth version of a single camera design, laser focus module has also been canceled. The round, flashy metallic flash and the 12-megapixel main camera make the style of the camera look very simple. Without the strong "feel" of dual camera + laser module, it looks more stylish.

There is the grating effect behind it has now become a cool mirror design, Xiaobian pro-test can be used as a mirror, the effect is very clear, the surface of the glass cover has been able to play a certain anti-scratch effect, face value and the original The radiant back is comparable.

Some people may prefer mirrors more, because not only can become women's makeup mirror, but also can become a family of self-portrait mirror, so that the main camera self-timer is more simple and convenient, compared to the mainstream models in the market With the camera in place, the main camera self-timer can also have a more detailed picture quality.

The bottom of the fuselage replaced with a more compatible Micro USB interface, speakers and handsets have also changed to a symmetrical design of the hole, from the perspective of the open hole workmanship and interface, glory workmanship than many machines at the same level Type is better.

The 3.5mm headphone jack was moved to the top of the fuselage with a small noise-canceling microphone next to it.

The design of the power and volume keys on the right side of the fuselage did not change, and the power button was carefully designed with a slightly recessed groove, playing the same anti-slip and blind operation instructions as the Concentric Circle Button on the Glory 8.

In general, the value of Glory 8 Youth Edition can still stand out in the same model, becoming the most eye-catching model in many models, and in the details of the changes, many designs have become more integrated. The humanized part has also been preserved, at least in appearance, this machine is still very good.

System: EMUI5.0 is still fresh and smooth

In addition to maintaining an outstanding level of appearance, the Glory 8 Youth Edition has built-in the latest EMUI 5.0 system on the system. What changes will be brought about by the smooth experience created by Android 7.0 and the new UI? Lets come look.

First of all, in lock screen pictorial, the built-in lock screen wallpaper of Glory 8 Youth Edition is quite matched with the body, and the pictorial function is not very different from EMUI 4, but the change of font and typesetting makes people feel more refreshing.

After unlocking to the main interface, the main interface of EMUI 5.0 does not change much, but the sliding experience and switching dynamics appear smoother, the icon color of the application icon is more vivid and bold, and the positioning of Glory 8 Youth Edition is complementary.

The drop-down bar uses a two-stage design, but the more commonly used shortcuts can be used without the need for a second pull, maintaining a balance between convenience and neatness of the notification bar.

The negative one-screen design makes the opening of common applications more convenient and quick, and also provides pedometer information and options for surrounding living services. Users do not need to download the group purchase software to directly view and purchase the food and services around them, which is very convenient.

The built-in Smart Core i5 coprocessor's Glory 8 Youth Edition can not only achieve low-power real-time stepping and other functions, but also adds new features such as voice assistant wake-up and low-power MP3. The data can be shared with fitness applications such as WeChat sports.

In terms of payment security, EMUI 5.0's payment security center provides an independent and pure application operating space, which can isolate malicious programs to obtain user information in the background. At the same time, users can also download legitimately approved genuine payment applications in the payment area to prevent being used by Shanzhai. Steal the password.

The mobile butler application can optimize the system's self-startup and wake-up in the background to prevent the machine from using more cards. The harassment and interception function can prevent harassment and fraudulent phone nuisance, and automatically identify fake base stations and prevent fraudulent information.

EMUI is one of the most mature customized systems in its own brand, and its optimization level and function are basically perfect. The latest version 5.0 is equipped with the glory 8 youth version, which is undoubtedly added to this high-value model. A good selling point.

Camera articles: single shot still beautiful, the main camera can also play self-timer

On the Glory 8 Youth Edition, an obvious sign is that the dual cameras have become single cameras. But in terms of parameters, this sensor is basically the same as glory 8 above, 12 million pixels, with a large F/2.2 aperture and a pixel area of â€‹â€‹1.25Î¼m. Front 8 million pixels, F/2.0 large aperture, 27mm wide-angle and LCD screen fill light function.

It is not difficult to see that the glory 8 Youth Edition is a black and white deputy lens on the camera combination, then what is its actual performance?

First look at the camera interface, EMUI 5.0 camera interface is relatively simple, if you do not carefully look for the main interface only some of the more basic functions, so it is not difficult to use.

The left and right sliding on the viewfinder screen can call out the mode selection and setting interface. The preset panorama mode, the HDR mode, the streamer shutter, etc. make the camera have a certain degree of playability, taking into account the needs of professional users.

Built-in real-time filter feature allows you to take pictures more personalized.

Although the actual use, although not equipped with a laser focus module, but support PDAF phase focus characteristics of the glory 8 youth version in the focus speed and accuracy have a good performance, even under the macro can also achieve fast and accurate focus .

The mobile phone supports the function of fill light on the screen. When it is turned on, it makes the skin lighter even when taking a self-portrait in a low-light environment.

From the above proofs, it can be seen that the self-portraits of the Glory 8 Youth Edition are still good, and the character's skin color is natural. After the sister's trial, they all like it.

From the actual sample point of view, in addition to the main camera with the same parameters can not take double-camera depth of field effect photos, in terms of image quality comparable to the glory of the dual cameras with 1200 million pixels, the resolution is also sufficient .

In terms of color, the 8th Youth Edition adopts a brighter and brighter adjustment. The saturation of the color is just right. It looks beautiful and natural. The edge of the object is sharp and sharp, and it has a good performance in the same class of models.

Sample Appreciation

From the camera's performance point of view, although Xiao Bian had a worry about the original dual-camera with less than one lens, but the glory 8 in the actual experience, this 12-megapixel single camera is still enough to meet daily use. The design of a single camera can also reduce the cost of the fuselage and bring a more cost-effective model to younger groups.
