Gigaset ME Evaluation of German Quality+German Feelings

IT 168 Evaluation The German manufacturing industry has always stood proudly in the world with its rigorous attitude and exquisite craftsmanship, and won the essence of the German nation. As a company of pure German descent, Gigaset officially launched three products: Gigaset ME, Gigaset ME Pure and Gigaset ME Pro at IFA in Berlin in September this year. 1 1 month, these three products will also enter the domestic market one after another, among which Gigaset ME will take the lead, and the price of 3488 yuan means the domestic high-end market. However, the domestic market has been selling well with thousand yuan machines and two thousand yuan files, while in the high-end market, consumers are more inclined to buy the flagship products of Samsung and Apple. Therefore, as a rookie in the domestic market, it is obviously not enough for Gigaset to base itself on the high-end market, but also to speak with products. So what's so special about Gigaset ME? Is it worth the price? The following assessment will give you the answer.

First of all, it is necessary for us to talk about the brand Gigaset. For teenagers who grew up in this era, it is easy to think of Gigabyte, a circuit board manufacturer, but unfortunately there is no intersection between the two. In fact, Gigaset is a digital cordless telephone brand founded by Siemens in 1993. It has a high prestige in the field of cordless telephone, not only has a wealth of patents, but also won many design awards. 20 1 1 year, according to the global brand planning, Siemens brand mobile phone was renamed as "Gigaset" brand, and it just entered the smart phone market this year. This development seems to be a logical choice, but considering that in the past ten years, mobile phones have already become another product different from cordless phones, Gigaset is quite different. However, in this era when even crosstalk performers can make mobile phones, Gigaset's so-called opposite direction is nothing. Let's take a look at the hardware configuration of Gigaset ME first.

From the hardware configuration, the parameters of Gigaset ME are bright enough. It is also practical to choose Snapdragon 8 10 processor, supplemented by 3GB running memory, 5-inch 1080P screen, and13 million+8 million pixel camera combination. As a high-end product, in addition to common functions such as fingerprint identification, heart rate sensing and HIFI, there are naturally some special functions, and its main bone conduction earpiece is a highlight. With this technology, not only is there no hole in the front panel, but also the integrity is better, the telephone can be connected back and forth at will, and the voice is clearer, which shows the solid foundation of German manufacturing industry. So, how much German descent has this product achieved? Let's start the evaluation.

The Germanic nation has always shown its tough image, with Merkel in politics and matthaeus in court as its representatives. Of course, there are artists like Goethe and Beethoven who have delicate feelings. It can be said that tenacity and delicacy run through the blood of Germans, and so do products. The author will take it slowly below.

First of all, it is necessary for us to look at the packaging of this mobile phone. Gigaset ME looks very textured from the box, and it is designed in two contrasting colors, black and orange, which is full of visual impact. Due to the magnetic buckle design, there is a crisp "click" sound when opening and closing, and the logo of the partners Bayern Munich Football Club and Royal ascot Jockey Club are full of style.

Looking back at the mobile phone, the first impression that Gigaset ME gives is simplicity. Both sides are covered with a piece of 2.5D glass, and the design of rounded corners will hide a warm luster. With the curved stainless steel middle frame, it combines two completely different textures, tough and soft, which reflects the originality of design. Although the first impression is somewhat similar to that of the iPhone, considering that it is equipped with a 5-inch 1080P screen, the border is narrower, the screen ratio is larger, and there is no abrupt circle like the touch ID below, so the overall aesthetic is slightly better.

Gigaset ME has a front-facing 8 megapixel camera, a light distance sensor and a Gigaset logo in the center. Different from the traditional mobile phone, Gigaset ME does not have the opening of the receiver, but uses bone conduction technology to realize the call. The bone conduction receiver is hidden under the logo and spreads sound through vibration. This approach is undoubtedly to retain the integrity of the front panel to the greatest extent, and the sense of integration is stronger. At the edge of the front panel, we can also clearly see a circle of composite buffer zone, which makes the glass and metal not directly contact, reducing the risk of screen breakage when falling, and the practicality of German design can be seen.

Gigaset ME is highly integrated, so there is no design layout of buttons below the front panel, and more witty virtual buttons are used, which can be called at any time and has high customization. However, sacrificing a part of the screen for people to operate always makes people feel a little uncomfortable. It should be regarded as a wayward pursuit of beauty in Germany.

Unlike the simplicity of the front of the fuselage, there are many articles on the back of Gigaset ME. It adopts a unique envelope design, that is, there is a symmetrical metal line at the upper and lower ends as decoration, which looks like a folded envelope. Today, when letters are almost extinct, Gigaset ME evokes memories of the past. As a family totem different from other mobile phones, it embodies unique elegance. It is worth mentioning that the lines on the back are very consistent with the injection interface of the metal middle frame, which is highly integrated and even has a certain unity in color, reflecting the originality of German design.

Above the back of Gigaset ME, there is a16 megapixel camera in the center, with a large aperture of F2.2. There are heart rate sensors and ultraviolet sensors similar to Samsung S6 on the left side of the camera, and the functions will be discussed in detail below. On the right is a double color temperature flash, which is symmetrical in layout, reflecting the strict and disciplined style of the Germans. In the middle of the back is Gigaset's logo, and the fingerprint sensor is just above the logo. It is also square, with elegant rounded corners with silver edges, showing a unique taste.

The middle frame of the fuselage is made of stainless steel, which retains the original texture of stainless steel. A little rough, but not cheap. On the contrary, it reminds people of the strong industrial atmosphere in Ruhr, Germany, and reminds us of Germany's profound heritage in manufacturing. At the same time, I have to say that the metal middle frame is connected with the front and rear panels very smoothly, and the fingers will not feel scratched at all, but the seemingly simple workmanship brings a comfortable feel.

There is a volume button on the left side of the fuselage, and the color of the button is the same as that of the middle frame. The upper and lower volume keys are designed in one piece, and there is no shaking phenomenon. The workmanship is solid, the key stroke is short, and the key feeling is very comfortable. On the right side of the fuselage are the card slot and the power button. Gigaset ME supports dual card dual standby, Unicom and mobile 4G, and there is no telecom version for the time being. Its second card slot can also be used as an expansion card slot.

At the top of the fuselage is an earphone interface, a noise-reducing microphone and an infrared sensor, which means it can be turned into a remote control. The bottom of the fuselage is a speaker and USB interface, which adopts the latest USB Type-C design and supports positive and negative random plugging and unplugging.

On the whole, the appearance of this mobile phone has both the heavy precipitation of German industrial design and the humanistic atmosphere of the Germanic nation. Holding it in the hand is more like a jade work of art, and its heavy feel has not become the failure of its design, but it shows its solid and tough style, which is very suitable for men to use. As for women, I'm afraid it's a little hard to use. The only drawback is that the screen has some touching black edges. As a high-end mobile phone, this detail needs to be carved.

Gigaset ME's system is not much innovative. It is a lightweight customization based on Andriod5. 1, which adds some practical functions to the habits of local users. Therefore, both the system logic and the operating experience are almost the same as the original system. Simply put, fluency is guaranteed and practicality is greatly increased.

▲UI design is relatively stable. In UI design, Gigaset ME follows Google's design language that emphasizes texture and respects icon individuality, and does not use regular graphics such as rounded rectangles and circles as constraints. Considering the stable design style of the whole machine, it uses heavier colors and less light, but it is very durable. It is worth mentioning that the system cancels the secondary menu, which is very convenient, smooth and light, and very pleasing to the eye.

▲ On the localization of dial-up pages and yellow pages, the dial-up interface of Gigaset ME supports T9 search, and the yellow pages are integrated, which can quickly charge phone bills and take taxis. , which is equivalent to a comprehensive page of life service, is easy to find when using. A more practical security center has also been added, which integrates common functions such as garbage cleaning, virus scanning, network control, traffic management, harassment interception, authority management, etc. The power-saving management is made into an APP separately, which is convenient for users to find and use. You know, MIUI, which has always been known for its comprehensiveness, is just that.

▲ Healthy Living APP, Heart Rate and Ultraviolet Measurement We mentioned many sensors on the back of Gigaset ME. The system has a built-in healthy living application, in which you can select your current state and test your heart rate. The software will give the normal range, so that you can know whether your heart rate is within the normal range. Even more amazing, you can test the current UV index. Unfortunately, at present, the smog in Beijing is serious, and ultraviolet rays are very weak without testing. I believe that in summer, when the sun is shining, however, this mobile phone will only provide ultraviolet index, and will not provide corresponding protection suggestions. There is a fly in the ointment and it needs to be improved.

▲ Remote control APP, supporting multi-brand home appliances When mobile phones gradually become the center of smart homes, Gigaset ME's infrared sensor module has more practical scenarios. The system has built-in intelligent remote control function, which can cover 95% of home appliance brands in the world. When connecting, just aim at the equipment and click the button to test whether it is available, and then further connection can be made. The overall operation is still very simple.

▲ Cloud services need to be improved. Cloud service is a very important part of the current mobile phone system. Gigaset ME also has a built-in cloud service, but this account can only back up contacts and text messages to the cloud. Even the most basic photos cannot be backed up to the cloud. Although the 32GB capacity supporting expansion is not small, considering its product positioning, it is inevitably disappointing. I hope to make up for this problem through the continuous iteration of the system version in the later stage.

▲ Fingerprint entry page Fingerprint identification, enter the settings page, and you can add fingerprints in the fingerprint management settings. The whole fingerprint entry process is relatively smooth, and the actual measurement takes about 9 times. The actual use of fingerprints to unlock is not fast. Fingers need to be recognized for nearly 1 second before they can be unlocked normally when they feel vibration. After waiting for nearly a second, the author wondered if the finger was stuck in the wrong position before the recognition was activated. In this era when fingerprints are almost universal, I hope Gigaset ME can be improved in the future, and don't delay the whole machine in this respect.

Finally, share with you the experience of using this system. People who use Gigaset ME for the first time may feel uncomfortable when uninstalling the application. It needs to long press the icon to slide down, find the trash can that is not obvious in the middle of the screen and drag it in. When deleting pictures, it is also very different. Delete the page directly without confirming it again. There is no room for regret, which is very different from other Android customization systems. There is no discomfort in other aspects. Compared with the ROM of HTC, Sony and other manufacturers, it is easier to use, but there is still much room for improvement in service and performance.

As a high-end product, its performance is naturally unambiguous. Undoubtedly, we chose Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 10 processor, integrated Adeno 430 graphics chip, 3GB running memory and 32GB body storage, and 1080p display screen. Running points are not much different from other Snapdragon 8 10 equipment. Ann Bunny scored about 62,000. Geekbench 3 also gives the score of single thread 1 156 and multi-thread 4697, which is also the top level at present, so don't worry about performance.

As for Snapdragon 8 10, the biggest concern is fever. Gigaset ME has some fever in the back after running, mainly in the fingerprint identification part. It's not serious, but it's warm and completely within the acceptable range. It can be seen that the system has done a very good job in controlling fever.

As a high-end mobile phone, adhering to the strategy of no one has me and no one has me, HIFI has also joined it. Gigaset ME is equipped with ES90 18K2M chip, which is also used by Meizu MX4 Pro and Xiaomi Note. Combining Dirac HD Sound hi-fi technology and CRS Bluetooth HD sound effect, the pure beauty of sound is guaranteed to the maximum extent, so that users can have a perfect listening experience anytime and anywhere. Forgive the fungi in Bian Xiao, but you can only listen roughly. When you audition with the original headphones, the sound level is very clear, which is obviously different from ordinary mobile phones.

▲ Original headphones are just, Bian Xiao thinks that real HIFI needs the full cooperation of headphones, terminals and audio sources. Today, with the increasingly serious copyright problem, it is difficult to find a suitable audio source file; Moreover, considering the daily application environment of mobile phones, most of them listen to music on the road for recreation, and their attention is not focused on music. So, for non-music lovers,

HIFI is a bit of a chicken rib, more of a symbol of high-end identity and style pursuit.

▲ Built-in power management APPGigast ME is equipped with a large battery of 3000mah, which supports Qualcomm's QC2.0 fast charging standard. With the official charger, charging can be completed within 100 minutes, and 20% charging can be completed within 10 minutes. This realization is undoubtedly excellent. And the system itself is integrated.

Power management application, take the initiative to put forward power saving suggestions after inspection, background optimization, etc. , which can effectively control power consumption. In fact, it is no problem to insist on normal use for one day. For office workers, it is not difficult to charge at will. With its fast charging speed and piecemeal charging time, there is basically no power loss at the end of the day.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the performance and battery life of this mobile phone, and the calorific value is also within the controllable range. Coupled with HIFI sound effects, it is still worthy of the title of high-end.

As the most important function of the current smart phone, the camera has already become a direct zone to open the gap between high-end mobile phones and other mobile phones. In terms of parameters, Gigaset ME is equipped with a16 megapixel main camera. With the self-developed focusing motor and algorithm, the configuration is good. But configuration can't tell everything, but experience and proofs can tell everything. Let's evaluate the camera.

▲ Camera interface, filter and camera settings Gigaset ME

The camera interface is simple, you can turn on or off the flash, you can turn on the filter, and you can change the front and rear lenses. Slide left to enter the gallery preview page. When you click Focus, there is a small sun sign below the focus box, so you can quickly adjust the exposure value when taking pictures. Click the button at the top right of the screen to enter the camera settings. Commonly used are HDR on, grid and face recognition. On both sides of the shutter are the camera and the gallery entrance, which is a common design at present. Let's start analyzing the proofs.

▲ Click to view the original picture.

▲ Click to view the original picture.

▲ Click to view the original picture.

Judging from these proofs, the color reproduction of Gigaset ME is relatively accurate, and the focus is extremely fast under good lighting conditions. Although the current popular PDAF phase focusing technology is not adopted, it is very smooth because of the self-developed focusing motor and algorithm.

▲ Click to view the original image adopted by Gigaset ME.

F2.2 aperture lens, while ensuring sufficient light, also has a good background blur effect, and can obviously feel the spiritual changes. In this sample, the boxes are stacked in turn, and the blurring effect is also obvious, which completely records the positional relationship between objects. This plays a great role in shooting macro, highlighting the main body while blurring other minor parts.

▲ Click to view the original picture.

From the above example, you can see that

Gigaset ME

The overall exposure control is very good, the whole face is not overexposed, the skin color is basically preserved, and the dark parts of the mouth and eyes are not underexposed to lose details, and the details of the eyes and eyelashes can still be distinguished. This is still very satisfactory. Only at night,

Gigaset ME doesn't have a large aperture of F 1.8, and there is no black technology such as optical image stabilization and dual cameras.

Acting a little overwhelmed. The upper right corner of the screen

You can see obvious noise, heavy smear marks and room for improvement. I hope it can be improved by later firmware update.

▲ Click to view the original picture.

On the whole, Gigaset ME has not opened the gap with other products in camera, and its performance during the day is sufficient and satisfactory, but at night, its performance is somewhat unsatisfactory.

There is still room for improvement.

I hope it can be improved by later firmware update.

After reading our relevant special tests, we also summarized the common problems of users at present. For such a Gigaset ME with a price of 3488 yuan, I believe you will have many questions about its use and basic functions, and maybe you can get relevant answers from it. For the detailed part of the question, we have detailed answers in the evaluation of each page. Users who want to know more can read each page carefully.

Gigaset ME supports China Mobile Unicom's dual 4G, including GSM, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, TD-LTE and FDD LTE standards, and supports LTE CAT6 standard with a maximum data download rate of 300Mbps. Unfortunately, there is no news of the telecom version at present, and telecom users may have to wait for some time, and we will also release the real-time dynamics of this mobile phone as soon as possible.

Gigaset ME

Support dual card dual standby, and or card slot, support dual Nano-SIM card and TF card expansion, TF card can support 128GB capacity expansion at most. Users can choose dual Nano-SIM cards or single Nano-SIM card +TF card expansion.

"What kind of brand is Gigaset?

Gigaset is a digital cordless telephone brand founded by Siemens in 1993. It has a high prestige in the field of cordless telephone, not only has a wealth of patents, but also won many design awards. 20 1 1 year, according to the global brand planning, Siemens brand mobile phone was renamed as "Gigaset" brand, and it just entered the smart phone market this year. Not only that,

Gigaset is also a partner of the Royal Jockey Club and Bayern Munich Football Club in Germany, which shows its brand influence and status.

"What is the principle of bone conduction? Do ordinary consumers have any discomfort when using it?

In fact, bone conduction is not a tall technology. As early as hundreds of years ago,

Beethoven, who was hard of hearing, bit the baton with his teeth and put the other end on the piano. Through the baton, the sound emitted by the piano is transmitted to the auditory organs, using the principle of bone conduction. Visible,

Bone conduction uses the skull as the medium to realize the transmission of sound waves, and the attenuation of sound waves and the degree of external influence are relatively small, so people will hear more clearly.

▲ The schematic diagram of bone conduction shows that there is no difference between bone conduction mobile phones and ordinary mobile phones. If I didn't tell you it was a bone conduction cell phone, you would even ignore it. You can hear the sound anywhere near your ears, not just at the receiver. The voice is very clear. The measured results show that the sound in the lower part of the panel is slightly lower when it is used for answering, and the sound in the upper part is louder.

However, we also need to remind you not to think that you can't hear the sound without your ears close to the screen, and you can still hear the clear sound even if your ears don't touch the screen. So in some public places, you should turn down the sound to achieve the most private use effect.

"Does Gigaset ME support fast charging technology?

Gigaset ME supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge2.0 fast charging technology. The standard chargers are intelligent chargers of 5V 2A, 12V 1.5A, 9V 2A, with Type-C interface. The built-in 3000mah battery takes about 100 minutes to fully charge, and 10 minutes can charge 20%, which is satisfactory.

"Gigaset me

How many colors are available? Gigaset ME offers a choice of Phantom Black and Space, both beautiful and elegant colors.

Black is calm, and the white version is more smart and fashionable. The black screen edge of the black version is not as obvious as that of the white version, but the white version also has advantages. It doesn't show fingerprints as much as the black version, so the white version doesn't need to wipe the fuselage often, so you should be diligent when choosing the black version.

"When will Gigaset ME go on the market? In what channel to buy?

Gigaset ME will be officially launched in official website in June 165438+ 10/7.

"summary

"

Gigaset ME has an exquisite appearance, and its proud German origin makes its design language unique, which not only shows exquisite craftsmanship but also has humanistic feelings, so that you can remember it at a glance. In terms of hardware configuration, Gigaset ME did not disappoint. Snapdragon has 8 10,160000 pixel main camera, fingerprint, heart rate, ultraviolet ray, infrared remote control and HIFI, which is almost a high-end mobile phone.

He can provide all the functions that should appear. However, Gigaset is a hardware background after all, and it is still difficult to optimize the software in the later stage, especially in the photo experience. Night imaging is somewhat unsatisfactory, and it is regrettable that there is no optical image stabilization.

Gigaset executives said that its domestic price was RMB 3,488.

Their pricing conforms to the global pricing strategy and is made for users who pursue quality. It can be seen that Gigaset ME, who has just entered the domestic market, shoulders more responsibilities of establishing brand image. I'm afraid it's hard for China consumers who are spoiled by Apple Samsung and domestic brands to pay for them. Therefore,

Gigabit set

At present, it is destined to belong to only a few people, who pursue exquisite workmanship and attach importance to style and taste. Ordinary consumers, aware of the existence of this high-end brand, should not mistake it for Gigabyte, and will leave people with the same impression as ASUS and Shenzhou.
