Motorola XT720 conference site sign
Evaluation background: Motorola XT720, code-named MOTOROI, is the first Android 2.0 mobile phone listed in Korea, and it is also an upgraded version of Korea XT70 1 (customized version of China Unicom). This machine is positioned in the high-end market, and it is the product with the highest specification and configuration among Google mobile phones released by Motorola. Based on this background, Motorola has made full preparations for this meeting. In addition to inviting various media, community officials and performing stars to help out, a banquet was held at the local five-star Silla Hotel in South Korea. The scene is very grand. So, before the analysis of the real machine, let's feel the resplendence and atmosphere of the luxury hotel together!

Of course, while enjoying everything, we will not forget the purpose of this trip, that is, the world premiere ceremony of Motorola XT720 will be staged here ... Next, please all domestic users come to the scene with the author, walk into Motorola, and directly attack this most powerful Google king.

Preliminary study on appearance: slim body, supporting 3G video call.
The picture shows Motorola XT720.
As early as the end of last year, it was reported that Motorola would cooperate with China Unicom to launch XT70 1, so it was really unexpected that Motorola took the lead in launching XT720 in South Korea. However, although the latter suddenly appeared ahead of the domestic market in time, the two new machines are almost identical in appearance, so we can simply understand that XT70 1 and XT720 are just the same product customized by different operators.
The slimmed-down Motorola XT720 is still in the hands.
Perhaps many people have just come into contact with XT70 1/XT720 for the first time today, so in the following time, the author will briefly introduce Motorola XT720. Appearance? . From the overall outline, the Motorola XT720 basically continues the rectangular design of the best-selling model Droid(GSM version: Milestone), and the size of115.95x60.9x10.9mm makes it surpass the Droid in size, so it is definitely a big guy for female users. However, due to the cancellation of the side slide cover and the full keyboard, the thickness of the machine body has been greatly reduced, and the weight has also decreased slightly to 139g. Throughout the entire Android mobile phone camp, few opponents can have a slim body of10.9 mm.
Motorola XT720 vs iPhone 3GS
In addition to the changes in shape and volume, Motorola XT720 has also added some personalized designs to the details. From the front of the fuselage, the machine uses the circular MOTO logo on the right side of the receiver instead of the traditional one? Motorola? On the left side of the receiver, there are sub-cameras, light sensors and distance sensors. The light sensor can adjust the current screen brightness according to the intensity of surrounding light, while the distance sensor can turn off the screen when the user is talking, thus achieving the purpose of saving electricity. It is worth mentioning that the sub-camera on XT800 (telecom customized Google mobile phone) was once missing, and the return on XT720 can be regarded as the perfect work of Motorola's new generation of Android mobile phones.
Personalized design: less chin and more nose.
Raised on the lower right, dubbing? Nose?
Motorola XT720 canceled the iconic? Chin? Design, perhaps unwilling to be mediocre, designers seem to want to add points to the fuselage? Fragments? So we saw an extra piece in the lower right corner of XT720, named by the author? Nose? . On one side of the phone? Add branches and leaves? This practice was rare in the past, and this rare asymmetric beauty has also become a unique landscape on XT720. Of course, while boldly showing personality, so are designers? Nose? It is endowed with a new function, that is, the photo indicator.
When you hold it, the extra part is also very close to your fingers, which makes you feel very comfortable.
In fact, under normal circumstances, we didn't notice? Nose? Built-in three indicator lights, only when you turn on the photo function or browse pictures, the three small lights will light up. According to the hint of the indicator light, we know that we can browse photos, switch photos and switch cameras from left to right, and combine the shutter button at the top of the side to provide users with an intuitive photo experience. Motorola has had a similar experience with the built-in camera/video indicator in mobile phones. The former audio-visual flagship ZN5 is one of them, but the machine uses physical operation. Whether XT720 supports touch switching needs further confirmation.
Details around the fuselage: unique DMB button +HDMI interface
Motorola XT720 is embedded with an eye-catching silver metal frame. Coupled with the calm black body, it not only reveals a somewhat restrained noble temperament, but also reflects Motorola's good workmanship. All the physical shortcuts and slots of XT720 are distributed around this bright silver border. On the left side of the fuselage, the machine is only equipped with a MicroUSB data interface, and dust-proof soft matching is arranged intimately to avoid the entry of dust particles in daily use.
Left side of the fuselage: there is a MicroUSB interface alone.
In contrast, the right side of the fuselage covers more than 50% of the XT720? Express delivery unit? From top to bottom are DMB digital multimedia broadcasting shortcut keys, volume adjustment shortcut keys, multimedia shortcut keys and photo shutter keys. It is worth mentioning that the shutter button of XT720 has increased in size compared with the Droid, and it is believed that the feel has also improved accordingly.

As for the top of the fuselage, Motorola XT720 is also fully arranged. In addition to the common power button/screen lock button and 3.5mm earphone interface, it also has a special HDMI interface, which can directly transmit 720p HD video to the large-screen LCD through the data cable. In addition, in the upper left corner of the fuselage, the machine also has a mobile phone pendant hole to facilitate users to add their favorite small pendants.
Top of the fuselage: Surprise HDMI interface
Appearance summary: Although the XT720 is an Android phone released by Motorola for the Korean market, it is actually inextricably linked with the previously launched droid and XT800 in design, especially the Droid and XT720, which not only have a rectangular outline, but also retain the shadow of the previous work in detail, which can be regarded as a keyboard-free version of the Droid. However, whether it is Droid, XT720 or XT800, although all three emphasize individuality in styling design, the huge body and steady color matching lack a little fashion color, so they are more inclined to business people in positioning.
3.7-inch WVGA LCD screen: multi-touch+16: 9 display.
The 3.7-inch WVGA capacitive screen stands out from Android.
At present, in addition to the first CLIQ and the recently released Backflip (domestic model: ME600) with HVGA resolution (320x480 pixels), Motorola has launched five Android phones around the world. The newly released Droid(Milestone), XT800 and XT720 are all equipped with the same 3.7-inch FWVGA resolution (480x854 pixels) capacitive touch screen, which not only supports multi-touch operation similar to Apple iPhone, but also has a widescreen display ratio of 16: 9. With the help of gravity sensor, users can zoom in or out by sliding two fingers while browsing pictures and web pages horizontally.
The screen display effect is exquisite, supporting multi-touch and 16: 9 display ratio.
Some people may not agree with the luxury screen of XT720, but looking at the whole Android market, only Sony Ericsson Xperia X 10 has surpassed it so far, and the latter is still a product that has not been sold worldwide. Looking back, the older generation of Android phones, such as HTC Hero and HTC Magic, still stayed at the HVGA resolution level, while with some new brands focusing on the low-end market, the screen specifications of Android phones generally remained at HVGA and WVGA(FWVGA). Of course, low-end Google phones such as HTC Tattoo, which are cost-effective, are not among the mainstream markets.
Multimedia audio and video: 8 million cameras+Xenon flash +720p HD playback.
Mobile phone back design
On the back, the design style of Motorola XT720 is somewhat similar to that of Droid, and the closest thing is the push-pull battery cover and independent mesh speaker. Because of the cooperation with South Korean operator SK, we can easily find the operator LOGO in the back corner, and the domestic version XT70 1 is printed with Unicom WO logo.
8 megapixel camera with xenon flash
As can be seen from the HDMA interface built in the top of the fuselage, Motorola XT720 is an entertainment mobile phone with audio and video playback function. First, the camera has an 8-megapixel camera built in. Although there is no specific logo, it is said that the image technology provided by Kodak, a camera giant, has been introduced, and xenon flash and auxiliary focus light have been provided on the basis of supporting autofocus function. At the same time, continuous shooting, face recognition, image stabilization and other functions are also readily available. It is worth mentioning that this machine is the second high-end model equipped with professional xenon flash after ZN5, and it will also become the first flagship camera in the history of Android that combines 8 million pixels with xenon flash.
Connect the HDMI cable and enter the playback interface.
In addition to its powerful capabilities in the field of photography, Motorola XT720 is more heroic in image playback. Among them, the machine will not only support 720p( 1280x720 pixels) video playback, but also output high-definition video to a large-size LCD screen through the HDMI interface set on the top of the fuselage, providing users with a way to enjoy high-quality movies. It should be pointed out that this machine is mainly compatible with video playback in MPEG-4/H.263/H.264 format, but it is not compatible with other formats (such as MOV, MKV, WMV, RMVB) due to the limitation of Android platform.
Support 720p HD video output function.
Like XT800, Motorola XT720 can turn on the HDMI function just by clicking the menu button at the bottom of the screen after connecting to the display through the HDMI interface, and then the mobile phone interface will automatically switch to the player interface, becoming a remote controller supporting the functions of playing, pausing, fast forwarding and fast rewinding. The external Dock base can also stand on the desktop, which is convenient for users to operate and use.
Core configuration: Android 2.0 platform +600MHz+8GB flash memory.
Motorola XT720 is equipped with Android 2.0 system platform.
As another new Google work released after XT800, Motorola XT720 is equipped with the popular Android 2.0 system platform (it is rumored that it will be upgraded to version 2. 1), and is equipped with the ARM Cortex-A8 core TI OMAP3430 processor, with a main frequency of 600MHz, which is the same level as droid. In addition, the machine also has 5 12MB ROM and 256MB RAM, with 8GB flash memory, which can be expanded to 32GB capacity with the help of MicroSD memory card, and the graphics chip adopts Power Vr Sgx 530. Although there is no comparative test in a strict sense, from the software and hardware specifications, XT720 should be comparable to Droid in system running speed.
Main program menu interface
Slightly different, Motorola XT720 adds two shortcut keys on the left and right sides of the program menu keys at the bottom of the screen-the call key and the short message key, which are similar to the previous Android 1.5 system versions of mobile phones (such as Motorola CLIQ and backflip). However, in my impression, there is no precedent for using the above two shortcut keys at the bottom of the screen in any Google mobile phone with Android version 2.0 (such as Motorola droid), so there is no precedent for this machine.
Main program menu interface
Like the Droid and XT800 phones, the Android 2.0 interface provides three home screens for users to define freely, in the same way as the previous version. Just press the blank space of the screen or press the MENU key to enter the add plug-in interface. As for adding program shortcuts, contacts or application plug-ins, it depends on the user's own preferences and needs. The icon of the management home screen is still long pressed to make it movable, and then it can be changed or deleted.
Other aspects: T-DMB+ Google Apps+Text Input+Standby.
Field test: it is very fast to log in to Google Maps with WiFi network.
Except for the camera specifications and operator logo, it is slightly different from the domestic licensed version XT70 1. As the first Android 2.0 mobile phone born in Korea, Motorola XT720 also has built-in FM radio and T-DMB mobile TV service, so users can enjoy as many as 24 sets of digital TV programs on their mobile phones wherever they go. In addition, the machine also supports various traditional Google services, such as Google Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Google Talk, Google Search, Google Calendar &; Contact synchronization and other functions can be found in the mobile phone program, and if more software needs to be downloaded, it can also be realized through the Android Market online application store.
Widely acclaimed handwriting recognition function
Standard 1400mAh BP6X battery.
As a traditional strength of Motorola, XT720 also inherits five text input methods, such as intelligent handwriting input, and supports Moto's original beauty technology, so that users can clearly hear each other's voices even in noisy environments. In addition, the machine also supports GPS/A-GPS positioning and navigation, and basic functions such as Bluetooth 2.0, USB2.0 and memory card expansion are readily available. Like the Droid, the Motorola XT720 comes standard with a BP6X lithium battery with a capacity of about 1400mAh. The official promised that the aircraft will get 300 hours of standby time and 270 minutes of continuous talk time. It is reported that the aircraft will be officially launched by SK Telecom, Korea's largest mobile operator, next month and will land in the US market in March. Unfortunately, we don't know the specific price of XT720 at present. Friends who pay attention to this machine can pay attention to the recent related reports of our IT 168 mobile phone channel.
Motorola XT720 is coming, and XT70 1 is only one step away from us.
Korean beauty and Motorola XT720 take a group photo.
Summary: Just as Nexus One surpassed Hero, Motorola XT720 surpassed another great competitor-Droid (Milestone) in hardware configuration and became the strongest in Motorola's Android camp. However, the improvement of parameters only represents one aspect of the characteristics of mobile phones, which is not as famous as Droid in shape design and historical significance. For domestic users, XT70 1, which is about to land in China market, is obviously more closely related to us. Although the hardware specifications may be slightly reduced, 3G services and WAPI technology based on Unicom WCDMA network will undoubtedly be more practical. XT720 or XT70 1 will become the powerful representatives in the Android market, and the price factor is believed to play a crucial role in the continuation of the hot-selling momentum after droid.
