Red list

iPhone XS Max

AI makes it win at the starting point

Apple's market value exceeded 1 trillion US dollars, becoming the first trillion-dollar listed company in the US stock market. This is the most powerful prelude to Apple's autumn conference in 2118. Although the appearance has not changed much, Liu Haiping's change does not exist, and dual-card dual standby has become a slot, but as the holder of the annual crown list, iPhone XS Max is still the most dazzling star, but now due to hardware constraints, its gap has not been opened exponentially.

The most imperceptible core change of this year's new iPhone is the A12Bionic processor of iPhone XS Max. It is the world's first mass-produced 7nm process mobile chip. Compared with A11 bionic chip, the speed of A12 two performance cores (i.e. large cores) is increased by up to 15%, and the energy saving of four energy efficiency cores (i.e. small cores) is up to 51%.

thanks to the powerful performance of A12, the changes brought by iPhone XS series go beyond parameter perception and penetrate into the performance, fever, battery life and photo taking of mobile phones. For example, the calorific value of the 7nm processor is significantly reduced, so the battery life of the mobile phone is also longer under high load, which is one and a half hours longer than that of the iPhone X. As an AI processor, the learning ability of iPhone XS Max neural network is very strong, from 611 billion times per second of A11 Bionic to 5 trillion times per second of A12 Binoic. Such a huge improvement has brought many changes to iPhone XS Max that users can't perceive at first sight, but greatly improve the experience. For example, the "smart HDR" mode has been added, which can adjust the depth of field after shooting and realize the real "what you see is what you get". With the improvement of anti-shake effect brought by neural network operation, iPhone XS series mobile phones are very suitable for shooting Vlog and other life record films. In addition, the new graphics processor can make all kinds of games, especially those that occupy a lot of graphics processing resources, run faster and smoother.

Maybe today, the gap between iPhone XS Max and other models seems to be only 1 and 2. In fact, from this moment on, the gap will widen exponentially with the iterative upgrade.

vivo NEX

"Don't go the usual way" breaks through the problem of full screen

In 2117, the wind of full screen became popular in the mobile phone industry, and the aspect ratio of mobile phone screen generally changed from the traditional 16:9 to 18:9. However, manufacturers have been faced with a difficult problem, and they can't solve the placement problems of front cameras and earphones. The front screen of mobile phones still needs to reserve corresponding areas for these important components to "live", so the full screen at that time was controversial and thought to be exaggerated.

mobile phone manufacturers have not stopped exploring the full screen, and in this respect, vivo NEX is ahead. In June, 2118, vivo launched the vivo NEX mobile phone, which adopted the design of lifting front camera for the first time, and combined with the technologies of full-screen voice and screen fingerprint, it made the front of the mobile phone have nothing but a big screen, so it can be called a "zero-boundary full-screen" mobile phone. When taking a selfie with vivo NEX, the front camera will automatically rise, and when exiting, it will automatically lower and hide, which is exactly the same as the effect of the camera on the front of the mobile phone.

vivo NEX has jumped out of the traditional thinking and further increased the screen ratio, which has brought reference to the whole industry, and there will be a new way out if we change our thinking. However, the design of lifting camera is not the only answer. Six months after the release of NEX, vivo launched a dual-screen version of NEX mobile phone, which satisfied people's imagination of two screens of mobile phone. Moreover, through the dual-screen method, the front of the mobile phone has an ultra-high screen ratio, which also shows the effect of zero-screen full screen.

in terms of innovation and imagination, vivo NEX performed well in 2118, breaking the sameness of the appearance of smart phones and bringing more new experiences to mobile phone users.

OPPO Find X

There has never been a mobile phone so "clean"

The biggest highlight of OPPO find x is the brand-new "double-track periscope structure" and O-Face 3D structured light design, which makes this mobile phone unique in many aspects, even unprecedented. Even Luo Yonghao, who likes to kill people, expressed his respect for oppo.

Seeing that other people's articles are integrated, Li Bai wrote a beautiful sentence, "Clear water produces hibiscus, and natural carving is needed". OPPO Find X, as the only smartphone with no openings, bangs, lens and fingerprint recognition on the front, has the first feeling that it is a piece of rough jade that is naturally carved. Its appearance is natural, and the front and back of the fuselage adopt 3D curved screens, which makes it feel round and smooth. OPPO Find X solves not only bangs, but also chin. The front is packaged with high cost of COP, and the chin is shortened to 3.4 mm after the flexible screen is folded, so that the proportion of Find X screen reaches 93.8%. Thanks to this, although the screen size is 6.42 inches, it is exquisite and one-handed without pressure.

Xiaomi 8 Exploratory Edition

A master of black technology

As the flagship machine launched in the 8th anniversary of Xiaomi, Xiaomi 8 lived up to expectations, and Xiaomi 8 Exploratory Edition exceeded expectations. It is not only the first dual-frequency GPS mobile phone, but also solves the problem that road idiots can't find "North" under the elevated buildings. It is also the first mobile phone supported by "Face ID" in Android, which uses coded structured light scheme to add millimeter 3D depth data of face based on 2D infrared portrait. Similarly, it is also equipped with the latest off-screen fingerprint, becoming the second off-screen fingerprint mobile phone after vivo.

before, taking photos was not Xiaomi's strong point, but Xiaomi 8 Exploratory Edition made up the shortcomings. In 2118, Xiaomi's MIX 2S and DxOMark released at the end of March scored 111, which was called "Oriental Pearl". Xiaomi 8 Exploratory Edition uses the same camera hardware and algorithm. After nearly two months' training, the camera score has been raised to 115 again.

Xiaomi, who advocates new domestic products, has been emphasizing the best configuration for users through products. This Xiaomi 8 Exploratory Edition has almost achieved the ultimate in the industry. However, what makes Geek (geek) most satisfied with Xiaomi 8 Discovery Edition is that the fuselage is four-sided transparent glass. Because the back is transparent, users can directly see the internal structure of the mobile phone, such as the redesigned NFC coil, battery decoration, etc. The more special color matching is that the power button and the decorative ring outside the lens of the mobile phone are red, so that the mobile phone also has the ingenious texture of a mechanical watch.

Huawei Mate21 Pro

The "horror" is that there is no short board

Mate21 series is undoubtedly the most important work of Huawei mobile phone in 2118. In the Mate21 series, Mate21 Pro has performed particularly well. Since its listing in the second half of the year, the popularity has continued to rise, and it has won a soft hand. Recently, Mate21 Pro ranked first among the top ten mobile phones in 2118 by the famous British technology media Stuff, saying that "this is a mobile phone with higher technology content per square inch than any other smart phone".

Generally speaking, Huawei Mate21 Pro is a mobile phone with almost no short board. It performs well in both design and hardware configuration. Coupled with Huawei's brand effect, Mate21 Pro's outstanding performance will not make people feel different.

in terms of appearance, Huawei Mate21 Pro adopts a full-vision curved screen and uses a four-curved glass material with "stone carving" technology, which can effectively reduce finger prints and solve the real troubles of users. At the same time, the matrix composed of Leica three lenses and flash is also quite attractive, which comes from the "four eyes" lamp design of Porsche sports car, and there are no similar works in the mobile phone industry.

In terms of hardware, Huawei Mate 21 Pro is equipped with Kirin 981, the most powerful smart chip in Huawei's history. It should be mentioned that Kirin 981 is the first processor in the world with 7nm process, which improves performance and consumes less energy than the previous generation's 11nm design. In terms of taking photos and battery life, Mate 21 Pro also performed well. For example, it has a wireless reverse charging function. When smart watches and Bluetooth headsets are out of power, they can be charged through it.

Samsung Galaxy S9

Powerful that can capture 961 images per second

Galaxy S9 is Samsung's flagship mobile phone launched in March 2118. Objectively speaking, it still looks good, but it doesn't make people feel amazing, and the bonus for this product comes from its powerful shooting function.

after the Galaxy S8 came into the market in the first half of 2117, the outside world sighed that the hyperboloid full-view screen with almost no border was really beautiful and shocking. In the first half of 2118, Samsung brought Galaxy S9. Compared with S8, the design has not changed much, but the forehead and chin have been narrowed. Although the Galaxy S9 still looks good, it doesn't bring much new ideas.

the bonus item of galaxy S9 lies in its shooting function, especially the freeze-time shooting. Galaxy S9' s freeze-time shooting function can capture 961 frames per second in slow motion, and even instantaneous images such as flying dandelions and pricking balloons can be completely recorded.

the highest speed photography of most mobile phones is 241 frames, which is only 1/4 of that of Galaxy S9, which means that Galaxy S9 can capture 961 moments per second, while other mobile phones can only capture 241 moments. If you shoot a slow-motion video like this, Samsung S9 will record more pictures, and the visual effect will naturally be more shocking.

in addition to the staring shooting function, the Galaxy S9 is also equipped with a new intelligent variable aperture, which can adapt to different lighting environments, and can take better photos in bright day or dark night.

one plus six

"no burden" experience

One plus six, which has always been a subtraction method, is very popular overseas. In the Red Sea market, one plus relies on one flagship machine a year and walks out of its own unique road. It does not pursue simple configuration and stacking, but provides users with a free and truly free "no burden" experience.

in appearance, the one plus six front is equipped with a 6.28-inch 19:9 full screen, which accounts for a higher screen than the previous generation. In the fuselage design, the horizon design and radian look tall and straight, and feel round. In terms of experience, one plus six is fast without burden. When you pick up one plus six, you can experience fast and smooth, even if you use it for a long time and with high intensity, the performance experience will not decrease; Burden-free design, to achieve long-term durability rather than too showy skills, quick and easy to understand; In addition, with the help of AI artificial intelligence, one plus six allows users to release from complicated operations without excessively disturbing users' lives. Today, as the competition in the smart phone industry enters the second half, one plus six can truly be worthy of the word "user experience first".

Black List

Nut R1

The quality control problem is worrying

How many people feel aggrieved when putting Nut R1 on the list of losers. Especially after the news of financial shortage and mass layoffs, Hammer Technology changed its legal person, and its legal representative changed from Luo Yonghao to Wen Hongxi. A sense of tragedy flooded the hearts of Luo Yonghao supporters.

Nut R1 is the life-saving straw of the hammer. Before the press conference, we knew how important this product is to Luo Yonghao through the tension and crazy state of killing people in Luo Yonghao. 6.1-inch screen, equipped with Opteron 845 processor, 8GB of memory and built-in 3511mAh battery, starting at 3499 yuan. In terms of hardware configuration, Nut R1 is roughly equivalent to Xiaomi and OV flagship machine. In appearance, R1 is the most rounded and smooth transition among the new nut series machines. With a good screen ratio and a good grip on the curvature of the back shell. However, the reason why such a product was placed on the list of frustrated people is that the quality control problem broke out again, and product quality problems such as screen degumming and camera scratching were frequently searched. For the mature mobile phone market, these are undoubtedly the most unacceptable to consumers.

This year, compared with other mobile phone manufacturers without waves, Nut R1 is the most promising, but unfortunately it has become a pity.

Nubian Z18

Flagship hardware is seldom talked about

In domestic mobile phones, Nubian used to be the backbone, with Huawei's glory as the target, and its reputation was once bright, but now it has been marginalized. Rising Sun Big Data, a domestic market research organization, recently released the list of domestic brand mobile phone shipments in the third quarter of 2118. Nubia ranked 16th, with a shipment of 761,111 units, only 1/74 of Huawei (including Glory), which ranked first, was comparable to Coolpad and Konka, and was far behind by the head camp.

Z18 is a flagship machine released by Nubia in September 2118. In terms of hardware configuration, Z18 deserves the title of flagship, and its price is quite competitive. However, this flagship machine, which was highly anticipated by Nubia, suffered a downturn in the market and its performance was disappointing. In Nubian flagship store of JD.COM Mall, Z18 has about 8,811 comments, which is even worse than he is my brother's hammer nut R1 mobile phone of the same grade, with about 54,111 comments on nut R1.

The poor performance of Nubian Z18 is related to multiple factors. Now the head effect of the mobile phone market is becoming more and more obvious. The comprehensive strength of brands, products and channels is competing, and the simple hardware competition is out of date.

361 N7 Pro

The advantages of continuous navigation are gone

The poor performance of 361 mobile phones is a well-known news in the industry. Recently, it is rumored that the 361 mobile phone business may be dissolved. Whether

will be dissolved is still unknown, but from the perspective of mobile phone sales, the performance of 361 mobile phones is indeed unsatisfactory. According to the report released by Rising Sun Big Data, in the third quarter of 2118, the shipment of 361 mobile phones was only 611,111 units, ranking 21th among 25 manufacturers, only higher than hammer, pepper, lead song and elephant communication.

N7 Pro is the annual flagship model of 361 mobile phone launched in August, 2118, and it has not shouldered the heavy burden for 361 mobile phone. The hardware of N7 Pro is still not weak, but compared with competing products such as Xiaomi 8 SE and nokia X7,
