Before the formal evaluation, we actually need to analyze many features of this product. Because at this point in time, the future mobile phone market will sell "far more than products". In fact, IUNI is based on such a background environment. So what do you sell without selling mobile phones? "It is a feeling to sell a hammer mobile phone, but it is not enough to sell it at one plus. Selling it at IUNI is the product." To sum up, in fact, recent mobile phone brands are emphasizing a tonality created by manufacturers. As for IUNI, it means that I am unique, which means that products, users and life should be brand ideas full of personality.
In this regard, when you click on IUNI official website, the fresh interface is the most intuitive experience. The product songs promoted in the same period are catchy, and the concept of "flavor" runs through the conference. The boxes with minimal materials but strong design sense really give people a refreshing feeling. So only from this point of view, the product image created by IUNI in less than half a year is still very successful.
In addition to brand building, in fact, the biggest feature of IUNI should be IUNI OS. Looking back at the birth of IUNI mobile phone, it was officially released in March 18, but the public beta release conference of IUNI OS system was held separately in February 17. It can be said that apart from the hammer, this is the only vendor in the mobile phone industry that releases OS independently (except Google/Apple, for example), which also shows that IUNI pays enough attention to the system. On the day of public beta, the adaptation of Samsung S4 was also launched, and interested users can try to click to view it. As for the performance of this system, we will talk about it later.
At this point, the introduction of this mobile phone has arrived first. After reading the parameters, let's look at a long comment. Iuu2 adopts a 4.7-inch LTPS low-temperature polysilicon screen with a resolution of 1920x 1080 and a PPI of 469. Equipped with 2.2GHz Qualcomm Xiaolong 800 quad-core processor, it has built-in running memory of 3GB (low version of 2GB) and storage capacity of 32GB (low version of 16GB). The network standard supports HSPA+ quasi-4G, and the battery capacity is 2200mAh. Run IUNI OS with zero pre-installation, low version 1799 yuan, high version 1999 yuan, with three colors of black, white and green.
Iuu2 appearance experience:
1 minute introductory conclusion: the beauty of smallness and exquisiteness; Excellent sense of metal premium
Introduction 1 hour conclusion: part of the operating experience was castrated for design.
Two-week experience: fortunately, it is only 4.7 inches.
As a mobile phone focusing on the concept of "quality", IUNI is actually very appetizing to the author in terms of appearance. The shape of the whole machine is square and concise, and the arc of the upper and lower frames of the fuselage adds a bit of agility. Most of the fuselage is surrounded by glass and metal, which is full of premium. It should be noted that the long review version is silver, so the front version is white. Although there is no black panel, with the 4.7-inch 1080P screen and the good touch of Corning Gorilla's third-generation glass, the whole machine is small and elegant, with a good front view.
At the bottom of the fuselage is the classic Android three-body touch key, which also adopts a white backlight design. However, it should be noted that the three key icons of IUNI have been redrawn, and the recognition degree is not high, so it takes an adaptation process for the back key and menu key to get started on the first day. In addition, you should also pay attention to the fact that the backlight of the key will not light up in the non-operation state.
Having seen the front appearance of the fuselage, it should be said that IUNI U2 can still bring surprises to people. As a mobile phone featuring "freshness, design and quality", it didn't bring me any psychological gap at first. So from my personal point of view, the design of this model is still excellent enough.
Of course, as a long review, it is doomed to go through a period of time when people and mobile phones are together. In the following period of time (in fact, most of the feelings are only within one hour of touching the mobile phone), the deficiency of IUNI U2 in interactive experience is gradually exposed. As for the reasons, there are roughly the following points:
1. Touch and key position processing of keys:
The upper and lower edges of IUNI U2 are formed by the extension of the back metal panel. Among them, the upper frame is equipped with 3.5mm headphones and metal texture, and the lower frame is a symmetrical dot matrix speaker and USB interface, which is perfect only from the visual point of view. But for the current mobile phone (you can double-click the wake-up screen to unlock it, and double-click the upper right corner of the screen to lock it, which should still be applauded), it is inevitable to design the unlock button to the top.
2. Slightly metaphysical tone feeling
Although the main material is metal, the left and right sides of the fuselage are still wrapped with PPS resin, which not only enhances the signal but also improves the stability of the grip (the metal is slippery). It should be noted that the left side of the fuselage adopts a metal-coated integrated volume button, which has a good visual effect, but there are problems that the button screen is short and blind operation is extremely difficult. Basically, you have to feel it up and down. On this issue, we can actually see the shadow of HTC ONE M7. However, in view of the "mysterious and mysterious" problem of keys, you can actually regard it as a small problem of "perfection and blame"
3. Extremely uncoordinated lower chamfer
As mentioned above, IUNI U2 adopts the overall design effect of founder, and the back is made of metal in a large area. The combination of the two creates two cold metal right angles on the lower side of IUNI U2. In actual use, you will deliberately keep your palm away from this "hand support" place. It is also for this reason that the position that the thumb can touch is further reduced. All the above are the failures of IUNI U2 in ergonomics and interactive experience, and the so-called "one-handed mobile phone king" did lose some points in the "one-handed" link.
Finally, I want to mention the back of the fuselage. The back of IUNI U2 is an all-aluminum integrated fuselage, and at the same time, it is treated by expensive anodic oxidation process, which makes the wear resistance of the back of the fuselage enhanced. In addition, there are a lot of micropores in the oxide film, which can absorb various colors. According to the official, it takes 90 minutes to build IUNI U2 Full Metal Jacket, while the processing time of plastic shell is only 20 seconds, which is also part of its display design ability and "product" positioning.
Throughout this period of experience, the performance of the machine in appearance is extremely eye-catching. The minimalist shape and the all-aluminum integrated body full of design sense truly interpret the word "quality" in appearance. On the other hand, there are some problems in the details of one-handed operation, and the positioning of the "one-handed flagship" in the early stage makes this problem more conspicuous. But fortunately, the machine controlled the screen size to 4.7 inches. Double-clicking the screen at the same time can wake up, and double-clicking the upper right corner of the screen can lock the screen, so it is not difficult to operate with one hand.
Iuu2 system experience:
1 min introductory conclusion: concise, fresh and smooth.
Introduction 1 hour Conclusion: Too much streamlining affects normal operation.
Two-week experience: you can see a little innovative UI in the details.
IUNI OS was released independently of IUNI U2 mobile phone for the first time, claiming that it will adapt to as many as 20 models. It can be seen that the official IUNI is still quite confident in ROM itself. As a propaganda slogan, IUNI OS claims to be "born pure" and has no pre-installed third-party software, which is still very rare at present. So what kind of changes will this improvement bring? Let's start with the first time.
It was really cool to use this mobile phone on the first day. Carefully drawn flat UI, integrated function menu and background management indicate that IUNI OS will be a good-looking and easy-to-use UI. And the UI style is "good" or not, just look at the picture.
Also in terms of UI design, this IUNI OS has built-in "time lock screen wallpaper" function. Under this function, the system will change the lock screen wallpaper regularly. In addition to three groups of fresh wallpaper, the system also supports custom atlas as wallpaper group, which adds interest to the traditional screen locking mode.
However, good-looking is good-looking. A few minutes later, the author encountered an embarrassing situation in the experience. Because IUNI is a pure concept by nature, no third-party applications are reserved in the mobile phone, and all applications only occupy one page. Sorry, IUNI doesn't have any official app store installed, so you still need to search an app store with your browser before installing the app.
However, with the increase of use time, the author found that although this system has few built-ins, most of its functions are complete, even exquisite. Taking the notification interface as an example, the system can customize the push of applications. At the same time, when you find that the push is too frequent and boring, you can also slide to the left to change the shielding function.
Another "interesting function" is the alarm clock. In addition to the built-in alarm clock such as "Monday to Friday", IUNI OS also has the alarm clock setting of "online inquiry for legal holidays", which can automatically skip holidays. In addition, if the flight mode is turned on before going to bed, the alarm clock will automatically turn off the flight after staying overnight. The intimate and humanized setting really has some "feelings" in it.
At the same time, IUNI OS also has many general functions. For example, networking settings and application permission settings are also very practical. It can be said that most of the time, IUNI OS is extremely concise, but extremely practical.
So to sum up, the performance of IUNI U2 on the system is very innovative. This innovation, on the one hand, is reflected in the concept, and the concept of streamlining the system is undoubtedly contrary to the current mainstream ROM scheme; At the same time, innovation is also reflected in the vision. Although they are both flat, the background and function keys are integrated, and the built-in time lock screen is extremely fresh, showing its unique characteristics; In conventional applications, IUNI OS is also making new attempts in humanization, and the intimate effect of alarm clock function is a good example. As a manufacturer with only one product, these are the highlights worth remembering.
Iuu2 photo experience:
1 min. conclusion: the camera interface is simple and beautiful, and the function is easy to use.
Introduction 1 hour conclusion: the focusing speed is faster and the photo color is pleasing to the eye.
Two-week experience: the stability of camera software is average
In terms of hardware, IUNI U2 applies the 1/2.3-inch sensor commonly used in traditional entry-level digital cameras to mobile phones (which is also the main reason for the protruding lens of the camera back shell), adopts the second-generation back-illuminated design, with16 million pixels, and the camera is equipped with F2.2 aperture; For the front camera, the machine is equipped with a 4 megapixel UltraPixel high pixel quality lens, which is more sensitive to light when taking selfies.
Screen shot of iuniu2 camera interface
In terms of camera function, IUNI's real-time filter function has also made great efforts. It is said that IUNI selected 12 kinds of filters most commonly used by users from more than 65,438+10,000 photos with filters, making this function more targeted. At the same time, exposure compensation will automatically pop up when focusing, and the brightness of the sample can be adjusted at any time. So what about the real shot? Let's take a sample.
It is not difficult to see from the above proofs that the imaging color of IUNI U2 mobile phone belongs to the "reliable party", which is basically restored according to the real environment, and the stability of sample shooting is also very good; At the same time, 1600W pixel brings good picture details, and the photo details are clear. At the same time, with its larger photosensitive element, coated blue glass and AR antireflection, it is also very good for sample processing of indoor weak light and complex light source, and it is also very good for suppressing noise and halo of light source.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that although U2 didn't choose the abnormal front lens such as13 megapixel front lens, its 4 megapixel UltraPixel lens is still very eye-catching. Now the front lens, the light is well grasped and the details are richer. At the same time, the exfoliating and face-lifting functions with beauty functions are also natural.
So to sum up, IUNI U2' s performance in taking pictures is still excellent. No matter from the camera function or the imaging of the final photo, as a manufacturer's first mobile phone, IUNI U2 is reassuring.
As the last link of the evaluation, the author still left it to the battery life. On the one hand, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 2GB RAM equipped on this aircraft have been adopted by many models before. This combination is also the mainstream flagship level released at the end of last year, so the performance in terms of performance deserves people's confidence, and it is also a reason why IUNI dares to weaken the hardware at the press conference; On the other hand, the machine's integrated fuselage and 2200mAh battery capacity are indeed suspected of being "insufficient", so whether this is the case or not, we will get the result.
It should be said that the performance of IUNI U2 should be divided into two levels. Only from the standby point of view, thanks to the pure built-in system and good system management, the endurance performance of IUNI U2 is very impressive, and the power failure is only 1% one night after the basic flight mode is started. On the other hand, the power consumption of the machine is relatively average in use; In the one-and-a-half-hour endurance test, IUNI U2' s "Three-dimensional large-scale game half-hour test, offline video playing for half an hour, online video playing for half an hour" consumes 23%, 5% and 7% power respectively. At the same time, in the one-and-a-half-hour test of "social software for half an hour, talking for half an hour, and audio for half an hour", the three items of power consumption were "8%, 7%, and 5% respectively. It can be said that the overall performance is better than the first impression left by 2200mAh, but overall, it really only belongs to the middle level.
Some minor issues that you may pay attention to in the evaluation:
1. Paint dropping problem:
No matter any manufacturer, when facing the metal fuselage, it will focus on whether the product is painted or not. However, because the author's evaluation is only an early engineering prototype, the shell was a bit "terrible" when I first got it. I am really embarrassed to take out pictures for comparison. However, only from these two weeks, there is still the imagination of paint falling, and some users in the forum have reflected the same problem. As for the solution, choosing the mobile phone case, putting the mobile phone in the trouser pocket as much as possible, and choosing the silver version that is not easy to be found when it fades are all weighing methods.
2. About the warranty.
As an Internet mobile phone brand and a new brand, the warranty of mobile phones is actually a special concern of users. In this respect, because the investor of IUNI is a traditional mobile phone manufacturer, it can provide the best support in terms of maintenance channels. He Xiaojun previously revealed that it has reached an agreement with 100 mobile phone after-sales service agencies, which will provide warranty service for IUNI mobile phones, and this number will reach 150 at the press conference in late March.
Evaluation summary: Let's talk about products first. IUNI is a mobile phone with a standard price of 1799 yuan, and a high version of 1999 yuan. In fact, the overall performance has been much larger than most products of the same price. Among them, IUNI U2 is also remarkable in design, system performance and camera ability, so from the point of view of purchase, this mobile phone is really worth starting with (it should be more lethal to sister paper).
In terms of products and publicity, IUNI is actually more like a company that guides product experience with design. It is true that design can make people happy, but whether it is the "lower right corner" of the mobile phone, the "top unlock button" in the system or the "missing app store", it reveals the user experience that some companies have slightly ignored on the road of sensory pursuit. However, as the first model, the performance of IUNI U2 is still excellent, and the accumulated experience can fully promote its product development next year.
In the end, the most popular "IUNI, One Plus, Hammer" in the first half of the year are all manufacturers that highlight brand tonality. Compared with the previous mobile phone sales, it is destined to have two other advantages besides being easier to impress people. On the one hand, the user circle created in this way is more sticky and has a sense of identity. Therefore, whether it is Lao Luo's seriousness or Emoko's disapproval, even in this article, official website has a "bean green" IUNI Xiao Qingxin, and it is easy to drag a group of people who feel the same from the Internet; On the other hand, this kind of publicity itself is doomed to require a high degree of rigor from packaging to machines (you can associate it with "unsightly, serious and tasteful" when you look at a black charger), so in the long run, the emergence of such manufacturers is undoubtedly a good thing for netizens. It's just easier said than done. If these manufacturers can hand over a satisfactory answer sheet next year, we have to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Time for some time.
