Borderless+small red circle
Nubian's insistence
With the increasing popularity of full screen, it is difficult to see the mobile phone with front fingerprint recognition on the market now. This is understandable for other mobile phones, but it is not the iconic red circle of good news for Nubia. As early as M2 in Nubia, it was a little incongruous for Nubian quot to fill the small red circle on the quotHome key. So where will Nubian Z 18 go? This time, it doesn't even have a Home button. Why not put a little red circle?
The answer is the front camera. The front of Z 18 adopts a borderless water drop screen, and the iconic little red circle is placed around the front camera as an ornament, which looks quite eye-catching. Like other full-screen phones with no border at the top, Z 18 has almost no border on the left and right sides, which is due to Nubian's ever-focused curved optical refraction technology. The latest generation of aRc 4.0 technology perfectly overcomes the problem of rainbow stripes. Z 18 has no frame at all visually, and the picture is directly given to the middle frame, which also brings the screen ratio of Z 18 as high as 9 1.8%.
However, it is worth noting that because the top and left and right borders of Z 18 are extremely narrow, it visually highlights that quotchin quot is very wide and a bit uncoordinated. If you are a little obsessive-compulsive like an editor, you can turn on the built-in quot groove hiding option quot and transform you into an up-and-down symmetrical design, which can be described as the gospel of obsessive-compulsive patients.
If only from the parameters, the thickness of the 8.55mm Z 18 fuselage is not too thin, but when you really hold it, you will find that it feels excellent. The excellent hand feel does not come from the thin body, but from the 3D curved glass on the back and the proper curvature of the middle frame, which makes the Z 18 quite fit in the hand, full of texture and not heavy to use.
Z 18 not only adjusts the radian of the middle frame, but also adds the calf voice button on the left side. Now you can call out your voice assistant in any interface, and you can realize many AI functions with a single click. However, it is worth mentioning that the Mavericks voice key does not support the custom function for the time being, so it can't be changed to the quot special key quot of WeChat, Weibo and Tik Tok for the time being. In addition, Nubia canceled the 3.5mm standard earphone interface, but included a 3.5mm adapter in the package, which provided convenience for users to use traditional headphones.
The rear dual camera and the left calf voice button also render a circle of red, which is more textured.
In addition to the middle frame, the whole piece of 3D glass behind Z 18 is also one of the excellent sources of its feel. Z 18 is made of 3D glass and has four curved surfaces. After 3D hot bending process, it presents a suitable radian, which is just connected with the metal middle frame. In addition, the back panel of Z 18 also has UV texture realized by ink extension technology, which has dazzling texture in dark black and more texture in low key.
Generally speaking, I personally think that Z 18 is one of Nubian's best products, and the rainbow pattern of the border that has troubled Nubian for a long time has disappeared. This is also the first time that Nubia has installed a 6-inch screen on the traditional 5.2-inch body. Although quotchin quot can be controlled to the narrowest by LCD screen and COF packaging technology, the screen ratio as high as 9 1.3% is enough to stand out from the crowd. Coupled with excellent real machine feel and textured back cover design, Nubian Z 18 may be the most beautiful Nubian model in history.
Real flagship
Performance is never "late"
Although the release time of Z 18 is a little later than the flagship models of Snapdragon 845 such as Xiaomi 8 and One Plus Six, its outstanding performance is not "late". Nubian Z 18 is equipped with Qualcomm Xiaolong 845 processor, supplemented by 6GB 64GB and 8GB 128GB storage combination. ROM specification is UFS, and RAM is dual-channel LPDDR4X. Its hardware configuration is quite top-notch
If measured by evaluation software, Nubian Z 18 is also quite top-notch. In Antu V8. 1.3, Z 18 got 290806 points, while in Geekbench, it got the highest scores of single-core 2326 and multi-core 808 1. In Androbench software for testing flash memory, we also get the result of reading 700MB/s randomly and writing 192MB/s randomly.
Ann Bunny got 290806 points.
Geekbench scored 2326 points for single core and 808 1 point for multi-core.
With such excellent theoretical performance, what is the actual experience of Z 18? We directly use "Survival of the Jedi: Stimulating the Battlefield" and "Crash 3", two games that require high hardware performance. When the highest picture quality is turned on, Z 18 can run Jedi Survival: Stimulating the Battlefield for almost 40 frames. The game screen is very smooth, and there is no delay in switching scenes and picking up weapons. The situation of running Crash 3 is similar, except for the switching of the game interface, other scenes are basically running in full frame, and its powerful strength can be seen.
Z 18 can run Jedi survival at full frame rate: stimulate the battlefield.
However, users want to play games freely. In addition to top-level configuration support, fuselage heating and battery life are also important considerations. We operated at 22℃ for 0,755-79,000 hours, and measured the surface temperature of Z 18 with infrared thermometer. The highest temperature is around 39, which is a little warm but not hot. We have done a good job in temperature control.
The front temperature when running the game is 39. 1.
In terms of battery life, Nubian Z 18 has built a 3450mAh battery in its compact body, which is 350mAh higher than the previous Z 17S battery. Thanks to the new intelligent power saving technology of NeoPower 3.0, there is not much problem in normal use for one day. However, Z 18 has a little "shrinking" charging compared with the previous Z 17. In order to ensure the heat dissipation of the fuselage during charging, the maximum output of fast charging is reduced to 18W, and it takes about 33 minutes to fill 50%, which also slightly prolongs the charging time.
AI double shot
Make photography more professional
If borderless and small red circles are the appearance of Nubian's obvious characteristics, then Nubian's internal characteristics may be quot shooting quot. Nubian Z/KOOC-0/8 is equipped with a pair of rear dual cameras with/KOOC-0/6-24 million pixels, in which the main camera with/KOOC-0/6 million pixels adopts Sony's IMX499 sensor, with the size of/KOOC-0//2.8 inches and the unit pixel size of/KOOC-0/./.
First of all, from the shooting interface, the shooting interface of Z 18 has not changed much. Mode selection is still at the bottom of the screen, you can click or slide. But the difference is that it brings a more interesting shooting experience in the quot camera family.
First of all, it is an art camera. Z 18 has built-in filter effects such as Van Gogh, Flame, Rock, Clouds, Sunset, Goth and Stamp in the art camera. A strong artistic style can easily turn messy scenes into abstract paintings. The photos processed by the filter have been optimized in style and perception, and will undoubtedly become a new generation of powder-absorbing tools for friends.
But more importantly, the artificial intelligence camera. The AI camera blessed by the AI shooting engine can now automatically identify various scenes including animals, flowers and food, and can automatically adjust various parameters in different scenes, so that you can take good photos at your fingertips.
New Art Camera and Artificial Intelligence Camera Mode in Camera Family
When the AI camera is turned on, the icon of the current scene will be displayed on the screen, and the shooting parameters will be automatically adjusted.
No matter how good the parameters are, you need to speak with strength. Judging from the proofs, the picture clarity brought by the 1600W pixel main camera is quite good, the white balance and exposure are very accurate, and the overall look and feel is excellent. Not only outdoors, but also indoors. The shooting performance of Z 18 is remarkable. Both model details and color reproduction have reached the top level. In terms of night scene performance, Nubian Z 18 is not as good as daytime. Although the sense on the mobile phone screen is not bad, and the brightness and color are also guaranteed, there is still room for improvement in details and noise control.
Z 18 still has some room for improvement in night shooting.
Art cameras will turn decay into magic and have high playability.
After the whole experience, the camera performance of Nubian Z 18 # 039 is first-class: I was deeply impressed by its high playability and AI shooting, and its shooting performance was excellent in a well-lit environment. It would be better if it could be improved in the later night shooting.
ET evolution tensor technology blessing
Nubian UI 6.0
As far as the system is concerned, it is undoubtedly the biggest highlight to highlight the quotET evolution tensor technology at the Z 18 conference, which is also the final answer. So what kind of experience will nubia UI 6.0 bring us after adding a new evolutionary tensor?
The first is the upgrade of the interface. While continuing the visual design concept of 5.0, nubia UI 6.0 also brings more changes in details. The design and color matching of the interface present a light and young visual experience. Almost all secondary menus are in the form of a secondary interface with a white background, which has a unified style and is refreshing.
In terms of functions, the first is the upgrade of the negative one-screen service card. The AI smart reminder installed in nubia UI 6.0 can automatically collect your flight, high-speed rail and other information and gather them on the service card. At the bottom of the card, taxi reservation, hotel reservation and other related services have been added. In addition, the service card can also identify specific scenarios. When you arrive at the mall, Z 18 will automatically display the map and guide of the mall; When you arrive at KFC and other restaurants, Z 18 will display online ordering and the latest promotions. In addition, when you slide to the negative screen, there are the most commonly used application suggestion functions. These four applications are all started warmly, which makes you click faster.
Of course, Mavericks Voice 2.0 on Z 18 also has to be mentioned. The voice key of the new generation calf is placed on the left side of the mobile phone, which can be started by pressing it. Mavericks 2.0 can now support voice search based on AI intelligent semantic understanding, giving users the most appropriate information. Needless to say, weather inquiries, information inquiries, flight inquiries and other pediatrics, you can also use voice to control the volume, brightness, Wi-Fi and other settings of mobile phones or third-party applications. In short, concise and efficient.
Calf Voice 2.0 has become smarter.
Finally, Mavericks Voice 2.0 also supports real-time text conversion, which can be recorded and shared quickly. Whether you are too lazy to type while chatting or have a sudden inspiration in your spare time, you can record your every sentence as long as you hold down the calf voice key.
In the era of full screen, abandoning the traditional buttons in the past has become the choice of every manufacturer, but most manufacturers only find a way to replace the buttons, not a way to make full screen gestures more useful. Nubian Z 18 is different from other manufacturers. Thanks to the previous investment in side gestures, the gesture experience in the full-screen era is undoubtedly better.
The gesture operation of sideslip greatly improves the interactive experience of users.
Other phones don't have the functions of sliding the bottom to call the home page, control panel, and returning to the next level, such as sliding the side to switch programs, cleaning the background, and quickly adjusting the brightness. In the past, people were more willing to click quot in the little red circle, but now all gesture operations are quot strokes quot, which also makes Nubian gesture operations seamlessly connected and greatly improves the user interaction experience.
Write it at the end
After waiting for a long time, the flagship of Nubian Z series this year has finally arrived. The appearance of the borderless full screen shows Nubian's persistence, and the shooting performance is not disappointing as always. Coupled with a better system and smarter calf voice 2.0, Nubian Z 18 may not be the most prominent of the new machines, but it is indeed a flagship model with strong personality. For users who control their appearance and like to take photos, although there are many flagship models equipped with Snapdragon 845 chips on the market, I believe they will still have the impulse to want one when they see Z 18!
