IT168 review is less than a month away and 2015 is coming to an end. Looking back at this year's smartphone market, domestic mobile phone manufacturers are busy holding press conferences and launching new products. Although this can quickly capture market share. However, due to the shortened product development cycle, it has brought about the problem of homogenization of mobile phones and insufficient innovation. From this, we can see that there are not many domestic mobile phones that can attract attention this year.
However, if you think about it carefully, there are still high-quality mobile phones that attract attention. Do you still remember the nubia Z9 bezel-less mobile phone released by Nubia a few days ago?
▲In addition to being dazzling, What else is cool about the bezel-less design? Nubia Z9 long test
But coolness is just one of the most intuitive feelings in the bezel-less design of nubia Z9. In fact, there are many innovations in nubia Z9 , let’s talk about the real situation of Z9 after the author tried it for a month.
▲Nubian Z9 bezel-less mobile phone
The author has been emphasizing bezel-less before, but you may be wondering, is what I saw true?
The stunning screen effect brought by the nubia Z9 borderless mobile phone is real, but it is not truly borderless. Nubia Z9 uses a 5.2-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080P. Judging from the existing LCD screen technology, it cannot be completely borderless. So, how does nubia Z9 make it look like bezel-less?
▲Nubia’s original aRC (arc Refractive Conduction) patented technology
In order to achieve this borderless display effect on the phone, Nubia used aRC (arc) in nubia Z9 Refractive Conduction) patented technology, also known as arc refractive conduction technology. The 2.5D curved screen is used on nubia Z9. Through the principle of refraction, the black edges of the LCD screen are cleverly blocked, thereby achieving a borderless visual effect.
But this borderless effect has pros and cons. Advantages, it can bring users unprecedented visual effects, especially when playing games and watching videos, the borderless screen effect will bring a strong visual impact. Disadvantages: Since its borderless effect is achieved through the principle of refraction, there will be pixel distortion and pixel amplification caused by refraction. The most intuitive feeling is that when the screen slides, the pattern at the edge will have a stretching effect.
Although the bezel-less design of nubia Z9 has disadvantages, the author believes that the bezel-less design of nubia Z9 has more advantages than disadvantages. In order to make the bezel-less design of nubia Z9 more practical, Nubia has A lot of effort was put into it.
Border interaction micro-innovation: FiT
In the user’s mind, no borders will inevitably lead to accidental touches. In order to reduce the occurrence of this situation, Nubia has added a borderless interactive function, FiT (Frame Interactive Technology), to the Z9 for the first time, which uses gesture interaction at the edge of the screen to reduce accidental touches and increase the practicality of borderless sex.

There are three FiT border interaction methods in nubia Z9:
1. Edge gestures, which slide the screen left and right To interact with the edge positions on both sides, users can set up, slide up or down to launch applications, repeatedly slide up and down to accelerate the phone, and slide two fingers on both sides to adjust brightness or volume. Through the author's many days of use experience, sliding with two fingers to adjust the brightness is the most practical. It can reduce the user's multi-step operations and achieve the goal in one step, and the success rate is very high.

2. Holding with one hand, because the nubia Z9 mobile phone only uses a 5.2-inch screen and no Thanks to the frame design, holding it with one hand is completely stress-free.
Therefore, FiT interaction brings users the interactive function of holding with one hand. Through the one-hand holding function, users can realize functions such as taking screenshots with one hand, unlocking by holding, holding the edge and clicking on the edge to take pictures, etc. The author does not recommend that users use all functions, as this will increase too much learning costs. Just set one or two interactive methods that are easy to use. For example: holding to unlock, holding and clicking on the edge to take pictures, these are very practical, and the success rate is quite high.
3. Horizontal screen two-hand holding function. The user activates the horizontal screen two-hand holding function and can activate the camera through gesture interaction on the edge.

Although the camera family is powerful and easy to operate, many gameplays require some specific environments or tools, such as light painting cameras that need to be used in the dark. The slow-motion camera requires a tripod to ensure the quality of the photos.
