The difference between Pro3 and Xiaomi 6 in 500 yuan is more worth buying.

If Xiaomi made the whole mobile phone circle aware of the changes brought by the "Internet" model six years ago, LeTV, which has sprung up in the past two years, has flourished in the mobile phone market with its brand-new business model of "subsidizing hardware costs with content as the center". Even after Letv officially completed the acquisition of Coolpad in August, Letv occupied a certain amount of capital in mobile phone patents, hardware manufacturing, supply chain channels and after-sales. The data shows that as of the first half of 20 16, the sales volume of letv mobile phones exceeded 9 million units, which is a leap-forward growth compared with the sales volume of 4 million units in 15. Looking at online sales alone, LeTV even ranks in the top five of all mobile phone brands, which is really commendable for a new manufacturer. Of course, LeTV subsidizes the cost of hardware manufacturing through the profit of content, which makes LeTV realize the possibility of selling hardware at almost cost price on mobile terminals. For ordinary users, LeTV's mobile phone has a high cost performance, and for LeTV, adopting a low-price strategy is the most direct and fastest way to open the market at present. On September 2 1, letv officially released a new generation of flagship music Pro3, and the application of Snapdragon 82 1 made le Pro3 attract everyone's attention again. So what is this Le Pro3, which is called a new generation of cost-effective artifacts? Is it worth buying? Let's continue to look at the evaluation. Hardware configuration: Different from the previous one-off products, this time LeTV held a press conference for Le Pro3 alone, and the same name is different from the existing product models in the past, so we guess that Le Pro3 may be a new product besides the previous product line. In this part of the article, let's take a look at the hardware configuration of this mobile phone, which claims to be the world's first mass-produced Snapdragon 82 1 processor. From the parameter table, we can see that Le Pro3 has the hardware configuration that can definitely be called flagship machine at present, the processor of Snapdragon 82 1 and the running memory of 4/6GB, and it is used to read and write UFS 2.0. As for the camera, Le Pro3 adopts the CMOS of Sony IMX298, which is widely used at the current flagship level, and is also equipped with a large-capacity battery of 4070mAh, which can support the charging speed up to 24W. No blowing, no black, the price within 2000 yuan, LeTV is definitely the flagship of cost performance. First, the appearance evaluation The biggest feature of LeTV's mobile phone in appearance design is of course the borderless ID design, which creates a picturesque feeling. However, due to technical limitations, it is impossible to completely cancel the screen border of mobile phones now. Letv just adopted a pleasing design, making the border and screen black, invisible in the screen state, and "exposed" after lighting the screen. This is also a controversial place, but at least. On the front of the fuselage, Le Pro3 continues the borderless ID design. In the off-screen state, the integration of the whole machine is very strong, and the front impression is also good. The front camera and sensor at the top of the fuselage also adopt LeTV's classic symmetrical design. Since the release of LeTV's first product, symmetrical design has almost become an industry phenomenon, and mobile phone manufacturers are scrambling to imitate it. As a brand that has not been involved in the field of mobile phone products for a long time, it is really not easy. It is also worth mentioning that LeTV is equipped with the same stereo dual speakers as the iPhone 7. In addition to the speaker at the bottom of the fuselage, another speaker is integrated into the receiver. Compared with the previous generation, Le Pro3 has little change in overall appearance and fuselage corners, but it has been upgraded and adjusted in some details. Le Pro3 uses 2.5D glass, which makes the front look better and enhances the grip on the edge of the fuselage to some extent. The bottom of the fuselage is a hidden three-button design with breathing light function. In addition, the Home button of Le Pro3 was changed from the previous prototype to LeTV logo, which further enhanced the brand recognition. The author thinks that all the acts of forcibly adding logo to the fuselage belong to hooliganism, but the three buttons of Le Pro3 are hidden, which will not be offensive, but just right, which is a more pleasing design. With the development of smart phone market, highly integrated solutions make the homogenization scene of mobile phone products more and more serious, leaving less and less room for brands to play freely. In the case that the hardware configuration can't open the gap, this year, the fuselage technology has become the focus of various mobile phone brands. On the basis of adopting CNC metal integrated fuselage design, Le Pro3 added wire drawing treatment to the back cover of the fuselage to further enhance the texture. In addition, Le Pro3 also uses a coating process on the surface of the back cover, which still looks as cold as metal, but it feels very delicate. The feel is between slippery and astringent, so don't worry that the phone will drop at any time. At the bottom of the fuselage, Le Pro3 adopts symmetrical design, and the left and right sides are still openings for speakers and microphones. In terms of data interface, USB Type C interface has been fully popularized on existing LeTV mobile phones. The advantages of USB Type C interface should be well understood, supporting faster data transmission speed and larger charging current, and it is the quasi-successor of conventional Micro USB interface. It is also worth mentioning that since the previous generation of products, LeTV has started to cancel the 3.5mm headphone jack, fully supporting the CDLA standard (all digital lossless audio), and Le Pro3 is no exception. In order to facilitate compatibility with users' existing audio equipment, Le Pro3 comes with an audio interface adapter from Type C to 3.5 mm.. The main camera of Le Pro3 adopts Sony's IMX 298 camera sensor with pixel16 million and aperture F2.0 With excellent hardware specifications, it has been used by many brands on flagship models this year. The body thickness of Le Pro3 is controlled at 7.39mm, and the 4070mAh large-capacity battery is accommodated in such a thin body. The camera is still prominent, and the metal protective ring around the camera also plays a certain decorative role, which will not be very uncoordinated. The above is the appearance analysis of Le Pro3. To sum up, the overall appearance of Le Pro3 has not changed much, basically following the ID design of the previous generation products. Small adjustments and upgrades in some details and fuselage technology are re-optimized on the basis of the previous work, which is rare in the smart phone market with serious homogenization, especially in the same price models, reflecting sufficient differentiation. Second, the system evaluation The biggest feature of LeTV's mobile phone design is of course the borderless ID design, which creates a picturesque feeling. However, due to technical limitations, it is still impossible to completely eliminate the screen border of mobile phones. Letv just adopted a pleasing design, which made the border and the screen both black, which was invisible in the screen state, and it was "exposed" after lighting the screen. This is also a controversial place, but at least. EUI 5.8 is based on Android 6.0. 1 deep customization and adopts the popular flat design style. In addition to the default theme of the system, there are two sets of themes built in to choose from: gorgeous and elegant. The system theme also supports customization, and you can freely choose fonts. Although the degree of customization is not as high as that of domestic old Android UI such as MIUI, it ensures the integration of system themes to some extent. Basic functions of the system. EUI 5.8 further enriches the function and practicability of the system. There are also many functions such as global search, WeChat trumpet, yellow page dialing and so on, which are basically the standard of domestic Android UI. Slightly different, in the global search, EUI integrated more resources, such as searching for "Joker Xue", then related materials, videos, music, apps and so on. Will appear in the search results. In my experience, I found that in addition to pressing the volume button and the power button at the same time, I can quickly take screenshots, and long pressing the Home button can also bring up more screen capture options. Here, you can not only scroll screen shots, screen shots with the border of the mobile phone, but also support real-time editing, which is very convenient to mark the key contents in the screen shots. This is also the embodiment of the further enhancement of EUI 5.8 functions. Featured functions. The biggest feature of EUI is the integration of LeTV's rich video content services. Happy Desktop and Live Desktop can be accurately personalized pushed according to users' search behavior and historical data. Dynamic desktop is the essence of EUI. When the live desktop is turned on, the mobile phone will automatically switch to landscape mode, and users can watch live satellite TV, starry sky, movies, TV series and variety shows. The screen defaults to nine videos, which can realize three live broadcasts at the same time. In addition to rich video content, other powerful ecological resources of LeTV are also reflected in EUI. LeTV has a lot of star resources, and its mobile phone has become an out-and-out idol artifact. In EUI 5.8, you can see star homepages, ringtones, expressions and photo wallpapers. At the same time, the cooperation between LeTV and Yizhi also enables LeTV mobile phones to get a car in advance according to the user's calendar, and so on. There are many LeTV applications installed in EUI: LeTV Mall, LeTV Video, LeTV Sports, and Fans Community. Every app is the entrance to LeTV's ecology. You can enter other related applications through users' personal interests without frequently switching apps within the LeTV ecosystem. What you want is what you get. This is also the concrete embodiment of LeTV's ecological opposition and breaking the APP island. EUI 5.8 deeply optimizes power consumption and performance on the basis of Android 6.0. 1, and the support of Snapdragon 82 1 platform further ensures the fluency of the system. After several days of experience, EUI 5.8 is satisfactory in stability and fluency. But in the experience, LeTV and its rich resources and content are even more impressive. Third, performance evaluation As a newcomer to the mobile phone industry, LeTV mobile phones have always been generous in hardware. This time, Pro3 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 82 1 processor, which is the first mass-produced product in domestic mobile phones. Of course, compared with the leap from 8 10 to 820, Snapdragon 82 1 mainly focuses on releasing new functions, optimizing performance and improving existing functions. So the main performance is not much different from the Xiaolong 820 that we are familiar with this year. And Snapdragon 82 1 supports Android nougat 7.0 operating system, which paves the way for the system upgrade of Le Pro3 in the future. Literally, Snapdragon 82 1 can be understood as an overall upgrade of Xiaolong 820. Snapdragon 82 1 still adopts the Kryo architecture independently developed by Qualcomm. The main frequency of the two large cores is increased from 2.2GHz to 2.4GHz, and the main frequency of the two small cores is increased from 1.6GHz to 2.0GHz, which means that the CPU can steadily increase its running speed without power consumption problems through technological progress. It can bring users 10% shorter boot time and faster application startup speed, so that users of Le Pro3 can enjoy smoother screen sliding operation and faster application startup speed and get better practical experience. In other aspects, Snapdragon 82 1 is still composed of CPU, GPU, VPU (video processor), Hexagon 680 DSP, DPU (display processor), X 12 LTE baseband, Spectra ISP and LPDDR4 memory. This time, Le Pro3 uses a combination of LPDDR4 memory and +UFS 2.0 flash memory. Moreover, this Pro3 is divided into four versions: 4+32, 4+64, 6+64, 6+ 128, and the most basic configuration has reached the level of 4GB RAM. In Ann Bunny's running score, it can reach the level of 158658. On the GPU side, Snapdragon 82 1 is still equipped with adreno 530, but its performance is improved by 5% compared with the version of 820. In the running score of GFXBench, the test score of 1080P Manhattan is 3 1Fps, and the off-screen of 1080P Manhattan is 3 1Fps, which is basically the same as that of iPhone6S. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Snapdragon 82 1 also introduced Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec, which supports 192kHz and 24-bit Hi-Fi DAC at maximum, and can provide excellent dynamic range and resolution. The CDLA audio standard advocated by LeTV directly transmits high-quality digital audio signals to digital headphones through the Type-C interface, and the digital headphones complete the decoding, so as to ensure that the audio signals are not distorted to the maximum extent. Fourth, photo evaluation The current level of mobile phone photography is really advancing by leaps and bounds. Both Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Apple iPhone 7 have brought new surprises, and there are even many SLR-level functions (not to replace them, of course). Le Pro 3 is equipped with Sony IMX 298/KOOC-0/6 megapixel rear camera, the camera starts the screen status fingerprint/KOOC-0/sec, and the PDAF phase focus is 0./KOOC-0/sec, which is super sharp and intelligent night shooting. The front is 8 million pixels, which supports gender recognition and intelligent beauty. The layout of the camera interface is typical, but the settings are a bit messy. Some items are in the central menu and some are at the bottom. Let's look at a set of real proofs (original resolution is 4608×3456): Compared with Le 2 series, Le Pro 3' s photos have been greatly improved in color temperature white balance, color reproduction, exposure control and so on. On the one hand, style control can be as realistic as possible, on the other hand, it can be moderately strengthened, so that very beautiful photos can be taken without distortion. The HDR effect is also good, the brightness and details of the dark parts are obviously improved, and the bright parts will not be overexposed, and the overall feeling is very high. Thanks to the high pixel resolution, the details of the picture are well preserved, there is no obvious smear trace, and the noise at night is also well controlled. The large aperture also brings good macro shooting and background blur. The speed of taking photos and shooting is also very fast (HDR is about one second), but after pressing the photo button, the framing interface will not show animation effect, but the top icon will flicker slightly, so it is often mistaken for not shooting. V. Endurance evaluation Pro 3 is equipped with a 4070mAh large-capacity battery and also supports 24W( 12V/2A) fast charging, which is the highest level in the industry at present. The charging test starts at 1% and records the charging every 10 minute until it is fully charged: 24W fast charging is really fierce. The 4070mAh battery is charged 35% in half an hour, 70% in one hour and 90% in one and a half hours. The trickle charging speed in the final stage is greatly slowed down, which takes almost 45 minutes. This is obviously reasonable. A large battery can quickly fill up enough emergency power, but it will also put some pressure on the battery. Therefore, gentle trickle protection is necessary in the last stage. Generally, there is little difference between 90% and 100%, so there is no need to rush to fill it. But strangely, the fast charging stage is not very stable, and there is a sudden change in the middle, which may be accidental fluctuation or test error. Because the time relationship has not been verified repeatedly, I will test it several times later. The test score of GFXBench is 427 minutes and more than 7 hours, which means that you can persist in playing high-intensity games for such a long time. PCMark battery test is the closest to the real state, but it will report errors during operation, which is the case with repeated tests. The specific reason is temporarily unknown. In the actual experience, it imitates daily operations such as watching videos, surfing the Internet, brushing Weibo, listening to music, running tests, reading books and waiting, and consumes electricity for two hours 14%. Therefore, if it is used in large quantities, it takes about 15 hours to fully charge, and it is no problem to stick to it for one day, but even if it is used lightly, it is difficult to charge it every two days. In addition, when charging and endurance testing, the heating control is appropriate, that is, the back is at most warm, and the battery temperature will not exceed 40℃. Evaluation Summary LeTV has always claimed to be a subversive, and it has indeed done so, especially in the field of smart phones. Le 2 pulled MediaTek Ten Core from the high-end to the thousand yuan machine in one fell swoop. Le Max 2 also pushed the top-class Xiaolong 820 to 2500 yuan at the beginning, and now it has been dragged to the level of 1500 yuan, and it has always insisted on spot sale, and there is no need to grab it at all. Looking at the whole industry, we can't see such cruelty. And a series of unique slogans, such as negative hardware, anti-ecology, borderless ID and Jia Yueting's propaganda, have made LeTV a "different kind" in the mobile phone industry. At that time, Le Max Pro took the lead in launching Xiaolong 820 in the world. Full of gimmicks, but only selling 1000 engineering machines is very controversial. Fortunately, Le Max 2 was awesome afterwards. Although Le Pro 3 is not the first one in the world equipped with Snapdragon 82 1, the top version of ASUS ZenFone 3 is only available in Taiwan Province Province, and it has only been mentioned in China, but it has not been really launched. Letv will be the world's first mass-produced Snapdragon 82 1 (a bit in response to Xiaomi 5' s fastest mass-produced Xiaolong 820), insisting on the nature of barbarism and subversion. Le Pro 3 insists on a distinctive borderless ID in design, and adds 2.5D curved glass and brushed metal wax polishing technology. With a 4070mAh battery, the thickness is only 7.5 mm, and the face value and feel are obviously improved, including the abrupt feeling of antenna lines. It is also greatly reduced. With Snapdragon 82 1 processor, 6GB memory,16 megapixel camera, 4070mAh battery, 24W fast charge and other luxury configurations, Le Pro 3' s performance is absolutely top-notch, and the camera is also excellent. EUI 5.8 system is also quite powerful. Overall, it is a rare and excellent flagship mobile phone. 4GB+32GB 1799 yuan, 6GB+64GB 1999 yuan, such a luxurious Snapdragon 82 1 flagship configuration, the price is less than 2000 yuan, LeTV has successfully put the top flagship completely on the level of the advanced thousand yuan machine, and the price/performance ratio makes people tremble. This is the biggest advantage of competition! Letv's high profile is always accompanied by many controversies, including some behaviors of Letv and Jia Yueting in capital operation, which are always somewhat unpredictable. But for consumers, that doesn't really matter. The most important thing is whether manufacturers can bring excellent products that are affordable and easy to use, which is related to the most vital practical interests of the broad masses of the people. From this perspective, manufacturers like LeTV deserve our strong applause. It has brought a fresh vitality to the smart phone market that has gradually lost its personality. Just like a catfish, it has stimulated the whole industry and friends, and they have to continue to accelerate their pace and constantly innovate and improve.
