Evaluate before testing.
There are not many models in the fifth edition of Nokia S60. The existing 5800, N97 and the latest 5530 and 5800 are the best sellers, and the cost performance is good, but its defects are still obvious, like a relatively large number. The launch of the 5530 seems to be a new model specifically aimed at the criticism of the 5800. Although there is no bright spot in the function, it is a reduced version, but the compact body and support for WAPI wireless function are still very good, and matching the couple machine is the best choice for 5800.
Shape contrast
Nokia 5530XM and 5800XM are completely different in appearance and style. First, let's look at the shapes of the two machines. Nokia 5800XM is larger than 5530XM. Let's look at the data gap between the two machines. The length and width of the Nokia 5530XM fuselage are 104mm and 49mm respectively, while the 5800XM is 1 1mm and 5 1.7mm, and the 5530XM is shorter.
In addition, the width is also of great concern to everyone. The fuselage thickness of 5800XM is 15.5mm, which is relatively thick, while the thickness of 5530XM is only13 mm. Although it doesn't look much different, it feels obvious after getting started. 5530XM is easier to control, and 5800XM is a little hand-held.
Many netizens think the Nokia 5800XM looks weird, and I feel the same way. The 5800XM is a bit like an "inverted trapezoid" design, while the 5530XM is a more traditional shape. The front and back dimensions are relatively equal, so at first glance, 5530XM should be more "popular". On the other hand, the protruding frame on the front of Nokia 5800XM is easy to accumulate dust and stains. This design has been improved on the 5530XM, and the overall feel of the Nokia 5530XM is more comfortable.
I believe that the texture of the fuselage is also very concerned by netizens. First of all, neither machine is made of large-area metal, and the front frame of Nokia 5530XM is also made of engineering plastic. Since the basic materials are almost the same, it is natural to compare the paint layer. Nokia 5530XM uses matte paint layer, which has good fingerprint resistance, while Nokia 5800XM uses matte material on the back, plus arc texture. From the back, the Nokia 5800XM is more upscale.
Detail contrast
As can be seen from this position, there are great differences between the two machines. Nokia 5530XM is equipped with a receiver, a speaker and multimedia keys. In addition to the receiver and multimedia keys, the Nokia 5800XM is also equipped with a 3G camera and the most practical optical sensor. These two pieces of hardware did not appear in 5530XM, and the lack of light sensor is really a pity for 530XM.
As for buttons, Nokia 5530XM follows the trend and adopts inductive buttons, while 5800XM is a traditional physical button. Because there are only three buttons, 5530XM will not be frequently pressed by mistake, and its practicability has not been significantly reduced.
The two card slots of the Nokia 5530XM fuselage are located on the left side of the fuselage like the 5800XM, but the difference is that the 5800XM microSD card slot and SIM card slot have independent dust covers, while the 5530XM has a 1 cover, so this cover is very exaggerated. As can be seen from this detail, Nokia 5800XM has a higher positioning.
Since the SIM card is inserted in the side of the fuselage, how to take it out? The design of 5530XM is the same as that of 5800XM, except that the battery needs to be removed, and then the SIM card needs to be pulled out with a stylus. The original intention of this design should be to prevent the SIM from being burnt out when it is turned on, but the trouble brought to the user can not be ignored.
Nokia 5800XM puts the power button, charging interface, 3.5mm earphone interface and data cable interface on the top of the fuselage, while the bottom is empty. In contrast, the 5530XM only has the power button on the top, and all other interfaces are "thrown" to the bottom. In practical use, I think 5800XM is more convenient.
Screen contrast
Both machines use the platform of S60 5th edition, and the system supports the same resolution of 360*640. There is no difference between them. In addition, the material of16 million color TFT is the same. From the data point of view, the biggest difference between the two machines is that the screen size of the 5530XM is only 2.9 inches, which is a little smaller than the 3.2 inches of the 5800XM.
Although the size of 5800XM is large, the display effect is not excellent. It should be said that the screen performance of 5800XM is only near the passing line. Many netizens complained that the color of this screen is cold and You Lan. We specially sent a test chart to compare the actual effects of the two machines. Results The performance of 5530XM was obviously improved, the phenomenon of cold screen was solved, and the color performance was slightly better than that of 5800XM.
In addition to the improvement of color performance, the viewing angle of 5530XM screen is much better than that of 5800XM. The performance of 5800XM is not satisfactory whether it is left or right or up or down. Although the screen size of 5530XM is reduced, the overall display effect is satisfactory. And in fact, the screen gap between the two machines is larger than that shown in the picture.
Backup interface comparison
Although the same S60 fifth edition platform is adopted, there are still some differences between different models. Among several S60 fifth edition models currently launched by Nokia, the main difference lies in the standby interface, including Nokia 5530XM, which is slightly improved compared with the standby interface of Big Brother 5800XM, making it easier to use.
In the fifth edition of S60 platform, there are several standby modes for us to choose from, such as general mode, shortcut mode and booth mode. Compared with 5800XM, 5530XM improves the card seat mode, opens the interface, and adds shortcuts and email functions. In addition, the left and right soft keys are added at the bottom of the interface, which is closer to non-smart phones, which makes it feel much more convenient and integrates various functions.
In addition, in terms of input method, Nokia 5530XM has also made a simple modification, so that the screen can realize virtual full keyboard when it is displayed horizontally, while Nokia 5800XM can use full keyboard when it is displayed horizontally and vertically, but the narrow space will often lead to the wrong pressing of full keyboard when it is displayed vertically. 5530 canceled the straight mini full keyboard, but this cancellation has little effect.
System hardware comparison
I believe everyone is very concerned about the core hardware of the two machines. Nokia 5530XM is defined as a "shrinking" machine by many netizens. So does the core part of the hardware really shrink compared with 5800XM? We installed a professional JBenchmark ACE to test the CPU running frequency of 5530XM and 5800XM. According to the test results, the running frequency of Nokia 5530XM and 5800XM is 385MHz, and the CPU is based on ARM9 architecture. It is believed that the two machines use the same CPU.
Then we installed the memory management software TaskMan. In the new boot state, the idle running memory of Nokia 5800XM is 60MB, while that of Nokia 5530XM is 55MB. Except that the running memory of Nokia 5800XM is slightly larger, there is no difference in the overall response of the two computers.
JAVA performance comparison
Then we installed Jabenchmark series software to test the JAVA running ability of two computers. From the test results, Jbenchmark Nokia 5530XM is slightly higher, while JBenchmark 2 is slightly higher, and the difference between the two computers is not big, which can be basically ignored.
Standby time comparison
Nokia 5530XM has a smaller body and uses less battery capacity. The capacity of BL-4U battery (left) is 1000 mA, and Nokia 5800XM is BL-5J battery, 1320 mA, which has certain advantages in terms of capacity. As far as practical use is concerned, under the same use conditions, Nokia 5530XM needs to be charged once every two days, while Nokia 5800XM can last a little more than two days, and the standby time is not far apart. 5800 has a little advantage.
Support WAPI
Although the positioning of 5530XM is not high-end, it is Nokia's first mobile phone supporting WAPI. WAPI is the first secure access technology standard in China with independent innovation and intellectual property rights in the field of computer broadband wireless network communication. Technically, WAPI has certain advantages in security, so WAPI is the transmission protocol standard popularized in China at present. In other words, Nokia 5530XM is Nokia's first mobile phone with WiFi in Chinese mainland market, while the domestic version of Nokia 5800XM has cancelled WiFi, so it has an inherent advantage in network application.
Comparison of shooting functions
When Nokia 5530XM appeared, it was called a "shrink" machine. One of the most important reasons is that the 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera has not changed compared with the 5800XM, but it has not been certified by Carl Zeiss, so many netizens can't help but question the shooting ability of the 5530XM. In addition to the shrinkage of the lens, the 5530XM cancelled the 5800XM dual led flash and replaced it with a single LED fill light, which is another shrinkage in hardware.
Although the hardware has shrunk, we compare the shooting interface and shooting function of Nokia 5800XM and 5530XM, but we are delighted to find that there is no difference between them. Enter the interface, the left is the view box, and the right is the function button. The camera icon on the right, if clicked, will automatically complete the action of focusing and shooting without pressing the shutter button. In terms of shooting function, the two cameras can adjust the scene mode, grid, timing, tone, white balance, exposure, sensitivity, contrast and sharpness. Although Carl Zeiss certification has been cancelled in hardware, the shooting function of Nokia 5530XM has not shrunk.
We comprehensively compared the two platforms of Nokia S60 5th Edition. Although Nokia 5530XM omits 3G module, Carl Zeiss authentication, GPS navigation function and other hardware configurations compared with 5800XM, it still has its own bright spots, such as a smaller body, which is much more comfortable to put in the trouser pocket. In addition, the screen effect of Nokia 5530XM is much better than that of 5800XM, which are advantages that cannot be ignored. For users who buy regular licensed products, 5530XM supports the national WAPI standard and has advantages in network application. As long as the market positioning is reasonable, Nokia 5530XM will inevitably become an arcade with high playability.
