When it comes to Sony Ericsson's current popular models, we have to mention W595. The design of fashionable slider is loved by many female users. This time, the hot sale of W595 has also aroused the strong interest of many domestic brands. The Lexun A 198 received a few days ago is completely made according to the avant-garde design of W595. What surprises will this A 198 bring us? Let's take a look at the detailed evaluation.

It is no exaggeration to say that this newsletter A 198 is 98% similar to W595. Even the LOGO we received on this engineering machine is very similar to the logo of Sony Ericsson Walkman series. It is understood that this mobile phone will no longer use this design after listing, and it will be replaced by Lexun's product logo.

Sony Ericsson W595 is known as the upgraded version of W580, so it is quite similar to W580 in appearance design. And the body circumference of Lexun A 198 is 100? 47? 14mm is exactly the same as W595.
The fuselage frame of A 198 also uses metal elements, which is similar to the design of Sony Ericsson W595 and feels good. At present, A 198 also has three color versions, and this white and red version is obviously more suitable for female friends to wear. With a 2.2-inch high-definition LCD screen and a 300,000-pixel camera, the configuration is slightly inferior.
Body details, camera, dual card and battery

Expanding the traditional semi-automatic slider, we can see the twelve numeric keys of Lexun A 198, and the six keyboard lights provide enough brightness to ensure free control in dark light. The elasticity of keys is obviously not as good as that of W595, and the feedback force is average, but the possibility of misoperation under normal use is small.

The back design of A 198 follows the simple and avant-garde style of W595. In addition to replacing the 3.2-megapixel camera with 300,000 pixels, the lanyard slot is also reserved. For those who are used to sliding open the back cover, this A 198 can open the back cover simply by tilting the nails along the side groove, completely following the classic design of Sony Ericsson.

Let's take a look at the two sides of the A 198 fuselage, which is quite simple. The charger interface is located on the lower left side, and the volume keys are distributed on the right side. The difference is that A 198 doesn't have the Walkman shortcut key of W595. And the music key of A 198 also plays the role of changing the background box when the computer is turned on.
GSM dual card dual standby (click here to view larger image

A 198, which supports dual-card standby function, has designed two SIM card slots near the battery slot, and its two SIM card slots are designed in layers. It should be noted that, like the previous music player, the upper chip is facing down and the lower chip is facing up.
Screen interface+SMS+phone function
Lexun A 198 adopts 2.2-inch QVGA(240? 320 pixels) resolution color screen, although the size is slightly stingy, but shake to switch the desktop, shake to switch songs, shake to mute the call is still remarkable. After locking, the standby interface of Lexun A 198 will appear on the screen, which basically contains the time, power, mode, signal and other elements that ordinary mobile phones can display. Of course, dual-card standby also includes the signal signs of SIM card 1 and SIM card 2.
As for the short message function, Lexun A 198 does not support the touch function, so it is not used to using the touch screen. Support pinyin, English numbers, symbols, community radio, MMS and other functions in the process of SMS writing.
Lexun A 198 phone book supports user-defined call groups and field settings, including home phone number, company name, e-mail, company phone number, fax number, birthday, big photo and ringtone selection.
Profile mode, mobile phone settings, shake function
On the scene mode, Lexun A 198 provides six scene modes to meet the needs of users attending any occasion. In ringtone settings, you can set options such as incoming call prompt, information prompt and alarm prompt.
In terms of mobile phone settings, Lexun A 198 provides standby mode settings, security settings, sound effects settings and the most personalized shake settings. The backlight brightness and display time of LCD can be selected as required.
In the setting of remote sensing function, there are functions such as switching wallpaper, switching songs, vibrating and reading short messages. After trial use, I feel that its remote sensing is quite ingenious.
Camera settings, games and entertainment, common tools
The camera and video camera of Lexun A 198 are set separately. Here we will focus on camera settings, including camera settings, movie settings and special effects settings. Special effects settings include grayscale, retro and negative.
In terms of multimedia, A 198 includes entertainment space, photo album, camera, video player, recording, my ringtone, my pictures, my videos and other items. There is only one F 1 racing car in the built-in game, which is highly playable.
In terms of personal assistant, compared with the previous toolbox menu, it contains Bluetooth, calendar, memo, alarm clock, calculator, world clock, e-book, caller ID and other options, and the alarm clock option can still be set five times.
Camera settings, durability
Lexun A 198 also has a built-in camera, but it is limited to 300,000 pixels, so the shooting effect is poor and the daily shooting is not practical. The maximum pixel of a photo can only reach 640x480, so I won't introduce it in detail here.

Lexun A 198 is equipped with 800mAh lithium battery, which is slightly inferior to 950mAh BST-33 battery of W595. However, under the use intensity of 30 minutes of music appreciation and 20 minutes of internet browsing every day, A 198 can still maintain the standby time of nearly three days, which is quite satisfactory.

IT 168 Evaluation Center's point of view: As a high imitation model, it will inevitably be compared with W595. This Lexun 198 basically follows the fashion style of W595 except for the differences in camera and some details, and its workmanship has reached the mainstream level of domestic machines at present. Therefore, many MMs of it 168 have given high evaluation and also performed in battery life.
