The Demon clan MX4 detailed experience report

September 2, 2014, in the Bird's Nest northwest corner that is known as "folding fan" of the national stadium in the Deputy Pavilion, domestic handset manufacturers to complete the charm from a small number of brands to the transformation of the public. At a price of 1799 yuan, the charm of the MX4 into the dual 4G, MediaTek flagship eight core SOC, the industry's leading 2070W pixel camera and aluminum-magnesium alloy materials, and the domestic mobile phone originally 1999 Yuan Baseline, bravely pulled down to 1799 this stall ...

1799 as a blockbuster detonated in the industry, MX4 within 24 hours to book more than million, a short 3 days to book a 300W, less than two weeks this number unexpectedly doubled. You know, the Phantom of the Family sales model is not similar to the pure Millet Internet model, 1799 of the price is not only to ensure that online channel expenditure also to meet the line of 800 stores profit demand, this challenge is undoubtedly enormous. As a zang to introduce investment after the first mobile phone products, the charm family to as much as possible to the mass of goods, 1799 Yuan MX4 carrying a very important mission.

As an old user of the MX4, I feel familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. and listen to me.

From the MX generation, the charm of the use of the black after the white fuselage design has been three years, in this three, "Panda machine" design as if the brand symbol for the charm, as the IPhone users of the small white headset, brand transfer and promotion of the benefits of self-evident. However, the last, the red rice mobile phone, such as a series of domestic thousand-yuan machine will be black after the white fuselage design spread out, gave consumers a "panda machine = cheap" impression. This is no doubt a disadvantage to the family of the MX series as the flagship brand. So we see a radical change in MX4.

The front of the fuselage continues to be as concise as the MX series, and a 5.36-inch sharp IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1152 occupies a positive 80% area, with the upper and lower panels shrinking and the extremely narrow border technology added to make the MX4 screen account very high.

The charm of the MX4 screen added a technology called "screen-point glue hanging", in the fragile screen glass and hard metal frame between a cushion, can play a role in the mobile phone when the fall of the buffer, the greatest extent to ensure the safety of screen glass. In fact, this technology is very well understood, the 08 Beijing Olympic Games "gold inlaid jade" gold medal, metal and jade adhesion between the use of some kind of solid glue to do buffering. Careful observation of the MX4 screen and the interface between the border, you can see a layer of glue is clearly cut off, with nails can feel the soft touch. The glue is gray black, and the screen black is significantly different, if the color palette changed to the same screen black, hidden in the black screen and gray metal frame, the sense of oneness will be better.

The "spiritual" circle of the home key, faintly flashing below the screen, like the MX3, this circle of the inside button, is given a return (slide-up) and back to the homepage (click) function, not only that, in the latest FlyMe 4 added " The Voice assistant also gives it a new use for the long press out Voice helper (this feature can be set to long press the quenching screen).

In the eyes of consumers, the charm of the design and workmanship in domestic mobile phones has always been the forefront of MX4, although in the price of a MX3 lower than the previous generation of a full 700 yuan, but did not shrink the use of materials, MX4 in the middle of the frame part of the aviation aluminum-magnesium alloy materials. Al-Mg alloy refers to magnesium as the base material, doped with metal aluminum. Its advantage is light, density is only 1.8, and the strength is higher, easier to absorb the impact, compared to the former stainless steel, aluminum-magnesium alloy material in the frame is more solid, lighter, easier to paint. Because of this, MX4 has more color versions than ever before. This year is the metal year of the smartphone, millet, Huawei, even known as "years of plastic" Samsung also recently released a new product using metal elements, in the metal for the name of the competition, the charm family stood in the forefront.

From the whole machine, the MX4 metal box coverage area compared to MX3 a lot, CNC will be cutting the border into a curved surface, and the rear cover of the arc line, and due to the surface replacement for matte treatment, feel contrast MX3 has a great upgrade, and will not leave fingerprints. The antenna part is distributed on the sides of the fuselage, the top and the bottom, and the holes of the speaker and the receiver are also used in a new arrangement. Corner of the same use of metal chamfering process, highlighting the overall metal texture, it is very exquisite.

The key part from the previous plastic replaced with the same aluminum-magnesium alloy, but it is inconceivable that, although the MX4 screen increased to 5.36 inches, its key layout has not changed, the power button has remained at the top, such treatment is appropriate, is worth discussing.

MX4 's back cover material is ordinary plastic, no double injection molding, no thin-walled technology, is the common engineering plastics. But the painting process and feel are the same as the aluminum-magnesium alloy frame, if the convergence can be fit, then the metal frame will be cleverly covered with plastic after the cheap feeling. But the author contact the two MX4 engineering machine after the cover of the connection are different, a loose after installation is obvious, another one after the cover gap is very large, the corners of the part is not smooth, reflected to the touch, subtle flaws, will be magnified, affect feel. It is hoped that the charm will be improved in subsequent mass production versions.

It was highlighted in the press conference that MX4 's rear cover is the best on the MX series. Indeed, in the previous phantom phone, the opening of the rear cover is a tool that needs a similar guitar dial, which has been criticized by users. Finally to the MX4, because the frame of the aluminum-magnesium alloy area increased, the cover is reduced, we saw the existence of the buckle opening.

After opening the rear cover, the 3100 MAh's Sony original Battery was greeted, the sticker on the battery shows the mobile phone serial number and other information, this place is worth mentioning is that the MX2, MX3 in the machine serial number is laser plating engraved on the fuselage, in the MX4 was changed back to the ordinary stickers.

Although the MX4 uses a larger CMOS sensor element, the camera does not bump out like IPhone6 or xshot. Below the camera is a double color temperature flash.

In general, as the fourth generation of the Phantom of the Family, MX4 inherited the charm family of the series of mobile phones consistent style and moist feel, for a more than 5-inch smartphone, is rare. At the same time we also saw in the MX4 of the charm of the process and material processing progress. However, as far as the author contacts The two engineering machines, the individual differences are still there, we believe that the charm line is constantly adjusting and improving. Next Page 12
