Smartphone zte nubia. Smartphone ZTE Nubia Z17 Lite - balances the dude. External appearance and handiness of the vikoristan

I've been wanting to protest the flagship frameless devices from this line since Nubia Z9, but it didn't work out. For example, last generation of the original Z9 (NOT Mini or Max) was simply not sold officially, and in online stores it was obscenely expensive.

Characteristics

Equipment

• smartphone
• Charger
• Cable for connecting to a PC (also part of the charging device)
• wired headset
• violin
• microUSB-Type C adapter

Included with your smartphone is a good wireless headset with a remote control and an adapter for microUSB! This is really great, since I, for example, have only a couple of Type C cables, and 10 microUSB cables.

External appearance, materials, core elements, assembly

I like the design of the Nubia line even from the Z9 watch: a black or white panel with decal elements in a red color. In this episode we are talking about the lower touch panel and the lining of the main camera.

Zavdyaki The frameless display of the smartphone looks really great, you’ll be amazed and delighted. It's amazing how a technical detail can make the outside look more beautiful. I've been using the device for almost a month, and every time I want to twirl it in my hands, marvel at how the screen glows in the light.

A large part of the body is made of aluminum, it is a little short and very practical. The dents and bumps on the rear panel are not visible at all, in which case the Z11 is much more practical than the Z9 Max or Z11 Mini. Let's move on to the core elements.

The area above the screen. Speaker grid, light and proximity sensors and front camera

Below the display there is a touch panel. The central button also plays the role of a light indicator. In settings, you can reverse the actions on the left and right buttons

On the left is the power button and the adjustment dial.

On the right, the tray for a nanoSIM card and microSD memory card was moved out

Bottom end. USB Type C port and external speaker. The speakers are not stereo, there is a microphone behind the left lens

Upper end. Another microphone, IR port and mini-jack for headphones

Rear panel. Main camera, sleeper, finger scanner. The upper and lower inserts are made of plastic

The fingerprint scanner works super smoothly. The shading between finger applications and unlocking is practically zero. The scanner can work with third-party add-ons, for example, Sberbank Online.

Over the course of a month of research, I haven’t noticed any regular problems with the folding, there is only one important point with the display, and we’ll talk about that in the separate section.

Dimensions

The frameless display, in addition to its impressive external appearance, gives another advantage: the smartphone becomes narrower, apparently, it fits smaller diagonally in the hands. As you can see, other models with the same diagonal are 3 mm thicker.

And you know, this is a small difference, and it’s clear that I often forget that in front of me is a 5.5-inch phablet, and not a standard smartphone.

The newest Huawei Nova Plus and Meizu M3 Note

screen

The first time you use a device with an edge-to-edge display, it seems like you have a model from next year in your hands, this implementation looks beautiful and, at the same time, futuristic.

After about an hour, you begin to notice that thin iridescent lines are visible on the white aphid along the edges of the 2.5D glass. If you also note them, do not be surprised at the evidence of diffraction. It appears mainly on white aphids and only under a thick bush. Especially after a week, I stopped marking them, and on the outside of the display, the little ones didn’t stick in at all.

I would like to point out that the screen itself in the Nubia Z11 is very clear: it has a great range of brightness, maximum viewing angle, excellent sleep behavior and high picture clarity. The display of details is based on OGS technology, which allows you to check the search results between it and the daily surface. And let’s not say there’s no 2k permission, otherwise we have a flagship level matrix in front of us.

When configured, you can change the color gamma of the screen, as well as the intensity of colors.

Robot with edges

ZTE decided to improve the 2.5D edge and add a new function to the curved edge of the screen. All sounds are turned on and off by setting up special gestures.

Work table. To quickly turn to the desktop, swipe left and right from the edge of the screen.

Interchange between addendums. Swipe up along the edge of the screen to take you to the front accessory, swipe down to the front one.

Close all add-ons. A quick swipe up and down closes all open programs.

Regulation of brightness. A one-time swipe with two fingers up increases the brightness, down - changes.

Back. The second tap along the edge of the screen has a “Back” button.

Thank God that all these options are turned on, because when some of them were turned on, the actions were launched through the buttons on the edge of the screen. As a result of these gestures, I value the regulation of brightness.

Operating system

The smartphone runs Android 6.0 and Nubia UI 4.0.

I like Nubia UI, it’s neat and unobtrusive, yet very functional.

In settings you can easily change the size of the screen grid.

There is a double-window mode, you can select it by swiping from the central button at the top. I must say that on my smartphone I am satisfied with this function, since the desktop is correctly optimized for half the screen.

It’s a pity, in this mode you can’t take screenshots, so I’m attaching a photo

The smartphone can take long screenshots or crop an area of ​​the screen. The problem is that you tend to take a screenshot when you take a screenshot, and in order to cancel the original screen, you need to click on the “direct button” and then save the image. Before the word, the screen recording (screencast) is immediately turned on.

The dialer has Russian letters, and when new SMS messages appear, you can immediately mark them as read.

Nubia UI can create a copy of the program so that you can log into WhatsApp or VKontakte from two accounts.

I was pleased with all the shell options (including those with edges), in my opinion, it turned out beautiful and functional.

productivity

The flagship of the line - the flagship filling. Top chipset from Qualcomm, 4/6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory and support for memory cards, in general, everything is on par. It’s not just the characteristics that matter, but the actual performance of the robot. Launcher, browser, third-party add-ons and games - everything works without any pressure.

Autonomous robot

In the daily use mode, the smartphone lasts for one day with even active interaction with it. You can happily enjoy up to five years of the active screen with all background synchronization enabled.

The device supports quick charging QuickCharge 3.0, according to the idea, it can be charged to 83% in just one day. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any reliable chargers on hand, and the new adapter and my QC 2.0 charger charged the smartphone in 2 years and 10 minutes. In this case, the charge will be equal, approximately 25% per day.

Camera

Having heard a lot of good things about the camera in the Z11, this time I asked Roman Bilikh to comment on the quality of the photos.

With good minds, the lighting from the main camera will go to the extreme of the photo: the first thing that is important is the remarkable sharpness both in the center of the frame and at the edges. White balance is usually accurate, colors are correct and not embellished.

The dynamic range is close to Ideal, although it is still far from iPhone 7 or Huawei P9. Portrait photography and macro photographs also pleased with the sharpness and nice blurring of the background (bokeh).

Hello everyone! Today, I look forward to getting a new smartphone from the ZTE company. The model is called “ZTE Nubia Z9 Max”. Initially, the model is no longer a new product, and this technical warehouse does not impress the minds of ordinary business owners. But no less a smartphone without becoming either irrelevant or irrelevant.

PACKAGE

First of all, let’s take a closer look at the packaging.

Whatever you say, the Chinese will try to beautifully present their product...

Straight-cut box made of thick black cardboard. There is gold filing throughout the entire package, it looks very impressive. On the front side there is only the “Nubia” logo - written in a unique font.

The top cover is structurally closed slightly, which creates a red border around the perimeter, which divides the box into two parts.

On the back there is a sticker with short technical characteristics.

In the middle of the box on the smartphone there is a transport material with designated technical characteristics.

ZOVNISHNY VIGLYAD

ZTE Nubia Z9 Max looks simply amazing. The device is supplied in black color. In the darkened position, the front side is presented as one whole, completely invisible from the screen.

The back side is also completely flat, the main camera does not protrude from the body. It turns out that the smartphone looks the same from the front and back sides.

The chassis of the smartphone body is made of metal, and the front side is covered with glass. At first you might think that the back side has an insert on the side, but that’s not the case, we have before us a transparent plastic masterfully stylized under the side. In Russia, the device looks simply amazing. A transport material is glued to the back side.

Along the perimeter of the ends there is a metal edge, which slightly protrudes beyond the boundaries of the body itself. Mechanical control buttons are made from metal. The case in our version is not dismountable. That fellowship is not at all great.

The design of the screen does not impede the fashionable 2.5D slope, through which the edge of the screen is visible. The screen frames are not narrow, especially at the top and bottom parts. On the sides, the width of the frames should be 2.8mm.

At the top end there is a 3.5mm hole for connecting a headset, the opening of the first microphone and plastic antenna inserts.

On the right side there is a volume adjustment button and a power button.

At the bottom end there is a Micro USB connector, an opening for another speaker, an opening for the center speaker and plastic antenna inserts.

On the left side there are two hanging trays. The first tray is used for installing two SIM cards in nano format. Another tray for installing a memory card in Micro SD format. Yes, we have the full ability to use two SIM cards and a memory card at the same time. This is a very big and fat plus in the treasure chest of a smartphone from the ZTE company.

On the back side there is the main chamber and bedrooms. Next to the camera there is a decorative insert that looks like a red ring. This design move visually shows the camera on the rear.

On the front side there is a speaker, a front camera, a proximity indicator, and an automatic brightness control sensor.

Touch control buttons are located under the screen. The “home” button takes on the role of an indicator. The “context menu” and “back” buttons are illuminated as they are activated at the moment of clicking.

The assembly quality of this smartphone is excellent, there is nothing to creak or play.

EKRAN

The screen size in this smartphone is 5.5 inches, which is by far the most popular size on the market.

Allowed the screen 1920x1080 pixels. Set the pixel density to 401 dpi. With such density, you won’t notice any large pixels on the smartphone screen.

The screen is covered with a dry glass made of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. This means that the screen has a unique oleophobic coating. The design has a high-quality IPS matrix, supported by OGS technology (every day of reflection between the surface and the touch ball). Let me look around as much as possible.

I was pleased that the maximum brightness of the screen was good, because the displays are not comparable to the AMOLED matrix, otherwise it is not good to do so. Multi-touch for 10 torcan.

The sensitivity of the sensory ball is high, the reaction to touch is immediate. With a customized screen, you can manually set parameters for saturation and shades.

Є automatic brightness control function.

On the paper, the characteristics of the screen are simply removed, as otherwise it is visually pleasing. Let's take a closer look at the settings on the screen.

Gamma curves are generally stable with little variation.

Color channels are so stable, pumping only blue color.

The temperature is extremely high. The colors on the screen display a cold color.

Behind the sRGB standard there are very significant differences. You can say that the transmission of color shades suffers a little.

If we don’t take into account the comparison with the virtual device, then we have before us an IPS matrix with FullHD resolution.

CAMERA

The main camera in the smartphone has a 16MP Sony IMX 234 Exmor RS matrix. Aperture F/2.0. I’ll say right away that the camera is simply outstanding for its price category. Correct white balance, natural color reproduction and good sharpness throughout the frame.

The main feature of the camera in this smartphone is a screen with a set of different modes for taking both photos and videos: for example, enhanced video recording, multi-exposure with the ability to overlay one-on-one video frames, Various special effects, the ability to control the diaphragm, etc. .

Let's immediately move on to the results of the loan. First of all, there are a few pictures of the zagal plan.

A couple of shots in macro mode.

Panorama.

Focus on the foreground.

Focus on the background.

No HDR.

Spalah incl.

Spalah wikl.

“Olivets” effect.

Video from the main camera can be recorded in FullHD format at 30 frames per second.

Front camera Sony IMX 179 Exmor 8MP. Fans of “self-shmelphy” would appreciate this camera in this way. Good sharpness in the frame and natural color reproduction.

Video can be recorded in FullHD at 30 frames per second. In this case, the interpolation method is used. The video comes out with insufficient sharpness. Capturing video from a separate front camera is not the strongest part of this matrix.

The pouch has a detachable main camera with a focus switch and a detachable cover.

SOFT

The smartphone runs Android 5.1.1 and Nubia UI 3.0.8. Will version 6 be released? Open the food...

The main screen has no submenu to the extensions menu or desktop; all shortcuts are located on the side screens.

The curtain shows the different switches and the adjustment of the brightness of the screen.

Work tables. There is absolutely nothing funny, which makes me happy.

Google services are collected in a separate folder.

Є sub-screen mode for two full-fledged desktops.

For example, in the lower part you can watch a YouTube video, and in the upper part you can launch a calculator or browse the pages in the browser.

You can place completely different labels on two screens.

The ability to transfer information to a TV or another smartphone.

The radio only works when a headset is connected.

If you find a branded case on sale, you can quickly use various functions using the case itself.

The assignments of touch buttons can be changed locally.

Double tap to turn on the screen.

Block the screen completely.

Additional screenshot of the selected area on the screen.

You can take a screenshot with just three fingers.

Interchange between addendums.

Mute/pause when flipping the screen.

To clear your memory, just shake your smartphone.

In general, the work in the menu and navigation on the smartphone is very smooth and stable. As a rule, if a smartphone with 2 GB of RAM works without lags or glitches. One point that was revealed in the firmware is the incorrect transfer of these words. There are still some words with incorrect endings.

IN ROBOTI

The ZTE smartphone uses a Snapdragon 615 processor. This chip includes 8 Cortex-A53 processor cores with a frequency of up to 1.7 GHz, as well as a Qualcomm Adreno 405 graphics processor, an LPDDR3-1600 memory controller, and quality modules (including LTE , GPS / GLONASS and Wi-Fi 802.11ac).

Let's be clear and say that 8 cores in this SoC are purely a marketing move. There is no real core for such a number of nuclei. Such processors are produced for certain countries, but the race to increase the number of processor cores is already a routine. For example, China can reach such lands.

Before that, the link is far from new and the stale values ​​​​in synthetic tests are not very good.

In this screenshot you can see what sensors are installed in the smartphone.

Just because productivity is low in synthetics, this does not mean that productivity in 3D games will not increase as well.

So GTA: San Andreas works great on average graphics settings. At maximum settings, the frame rate is no longer comfortable for smooth play. Modern Combat 5 runs smoothly, there are no lags, all graphical effects are present. NFS: No Limits works great. WoT lags a lot on the highest graphics settings, but the axis on the middle ones runs smoothly.

As the phone burns for an hour, the back side of the smartphone becomes intensely hot.

RAM 2GB. Completely enough for a stable and smooth operation of the interface. Continuous memory 16GB. Memory cards in Micro SD format are supported. My 128GB card worked perfectly in this smartphone, but it is not possible to install add-ons on the memory card.

And this is how the indicators for reading/writing internal memory look like.

The most impressive thing about this smartphone is the sound. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such clear sound from an external speaker, thanks to Dolby technology. The smartphone has 24/192 DAC AKM AK4375 and booster QW873. Great sound, really booming. Both low and high frequencies can be heard clearly. And listening to instrumental music on this smartphone is just a blast, bravo ZTE.

Even though the loudspeaker has not been pumped up, it is just as loud. Before the transmission of the video, there was no loss of power, two active microphones efficiently filter out external transmissions.

Support for two SIM cards is especially implemented. The "nano" format is being used by Vikorist. There is only one radio module. Otherwise, in the setup of SIM cards, I did not add any receiving buns, such as the active mode or redirecting calls from one card to another.

Then you can access 4G using any SIM card. For this purpose, just note that you need a SIM card to get out of the way.

Є GPS / GLONASS support. But the axis of the robot of this connection was going wrong. The screenshot shows that a number of companions are not sufficient in such situations.

You can connect to Wi-Fi at a frequency of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The vibration is strong. With NFC support, you may benefit from it. The USB-OTG function is supported by this smartphone.

AUTONOMOUS ROBOT

A non-rechargeable battery is installed and has a capacity of 2900 mAg. For a 5.5-inch smartphone, I especially would like to have a larger battery.

The included charge is 5V at 1.5A. The entire smartphone charges in 3 years and 42 hours.

Please see the beautiful designer cable included in the set.

The axis that came out of the autonomous robot.

1. A few tinkles and notifications - 2 add.

2. Large number of calls and notifications - 1 add.

3. Watching a movie on a smartphone screen - 7 years.

4. 3D gris - 4 years.

5. Listening to MP3 with headphones - 32 years.

How do you work for an hour in a completely standard manner and follow the instructions?

VISNOVKI

At the end of 2016, the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max smartphone will no longer be entirely relevant. The main butt, if the technical warehouse is not the main part of the smartphone. The retailer sells the smartphone at a price of 15 thousand. Rublev, in my opinion, the price for such a product is completely adequate.

PLUS:

1. Good price.

2. Bad cameras.

3. Sufficient productivity.

4. Smoother robot interface.

5. Great sound.

6. Okrema installation of two SIM cards and a memory card.

7. GLONASS support.

8. Excellent external appearance, good picking strength.

MINUS:

1. It is not possible to install add-ons onto the memory card.

2. Weak GPS/GLONASS connection.

3. There are minor flaws in the daily data in the firmware.

4. The front camera records in FullHD format using the interpolation method.

That's all. Thank you all very much for your respect.

Good luck and see you soon!

Smartphones from the Chinese company ZTE Nubia offer outstanding technical characteristics, solid design, neat folding, reliability and affordable prices. The devices have the same style as seen on other smartphones. The main features include an edge-to-edge display, a black-colored Home touch button, a minimal thickness metal body, a 2.5 D slope with tactile oleophobic coating, as well as a seamless, modern look using special technology ї nanoformation.

The device runs on the remaining version of Android paired with a proprietary UI shell. The current photo module from Sony, which consists of 6 lenses, allows you to display the most beautiful moments of life, ensuring that the most important elements are clearly visible.

"Mriya without cordons"

Dream without boundaries - under such a cloud, ZTE presented to the world on the last day of the summer, which is launching at the IFA 2016 exhibition in Berlin, its new flagship smartphone Nubia Z11. “Mriya without cordons” - this is how this phrase can roughly be translated into Russian, and, apparently, this was intended to be associated, first of all, with the modern appearance of a novelty. ZTE Nubia Z11 has adopted the same “frameless” display that all smartphone retailers are now pushing towards, but it is important to explain from a practical point of view. Prote, ZTE in the new season, following many other manufacturers, will also introduce its smartphone to the market, the screen of which will practically completely reduce the frame (obviously, from the sides).

However, there is no shortage of interest in the new premium brand ZTE: the smartphone, after getting to know it closely, has demonstrated many of its advantages. We have already begun to protest against this device and today we would like to present you with a full review of the hard and clear smartphone ZTE Nubia Z11, which stands at the forefront of the mobile family of the premium Nubia line of the ZTE company.

Contents of delivery

Nubia Z11 is available for sale in a flat, stylishly designed rectangular box. Vikonan packaging is made from matte black cardboard with red elements, which looks as attractive as possible in conjunction with a premium class product.

The set of accessories consists of a charger with a quick-charging function (output line 1.5-3 A, voltage 5/9/12 V), connecting to a USB Type-C cable and a stereo headset with in-ear hum pads, beautifully packaged ї in okrema plastic box. Also in the box you can find a metal key for obtaining cards and a warranty card. There is no paper documentation included in the set.

External appearance and handiness of the vikoristan

Nubia Z11 has improved its attractive design. At the same time, all smartphones in this premium series can be classified as fashionable models, aimed not only at high technical characteristics, but also at increased convenience. The device has a body that is absolutely symmetrical in shape, where both the front glass and the back metal walls have similar edges, which, together with the strongly rounded side edges of the frame and the edges, are designed to form such a pebble that is round from all sides without a single sharp edge (i.e. or even flatter).

The body is heavily made of metal, and only two thin rear inserts, as often happens, are not metal. However, their surfaces are similar to other coating surfaces, which is important to note immediately.

The assembly does not squeak, the body is monolithic, there are no significant parts, the parts are well fitted, there are no creaks or bends. Due to the fact that it has matte surfaces and is lightweight, the device fits securely in your hand, and there is no loss of padding on its surfaces - behind the wrinkle, of course, of the front fold.

The shape of the Nubia Z11 case is slightly different from most smartphones due to the lack of a frame on the sides of the screen, so a smartphone that is slightly thinner in width is more comfortable to wear, but not less than 5. 5-inch devices.

The front panel is covered with a 2.5D layer of Gorilla Glass 3 with soft edges, under the glass there is a basic set of elements: sensors, a front camera and an LED indicator, it looks like a “hot” jacket with a red backlight Below the screen is a proprietary design element of all Nubia smartphones. Two touch buttons on the sides of the neck can also be illuminated with icons at the main points, so the assignment of the buttons can be changed to your liking.

As you may note, there is practically no frame on the sides of the screen, which immediately falls into the eyes. The outer edges of the display, of course, often get stuck in the hands, but then the developers decided to turn this shortcoming into a product and put additional functionality on the edges of the screen, which will be discussed below.

The slot for cards is usually on the other side, but it is, as usual, a hybrid one, so you can insert two SIM cards in the Nano-SIM format or replace one of them with a microSD memory card, otherwise you won’t have to install all three at the same time possible. Memory cards are supported up to 200 GB.

The mechanical buttons are located on the opposite side, they are metallic, they do not protrude too much beyond the surfaces, but can be easily found on the surface. The keys operate short and hard, but in general do not cause discomfort; moving the buttons itself can also be done away.

The USB Type-C connector at the bottom is clearly centered, and there are two groups of openings on the sides. Through one of them the sound comes out from the speaker, and the other, obviously, is a prop. The Micro-USB connector can be used to connect third-party devices in USB OTG (USB Host) mode.

There is also a microphone opening at the top end, which serves as a noise-cancelling function. Immediately install the audio output for headphones and a little dark at the end of the infraworm transmission to emulate the remote control of various consumer equipment.

ZTE Nubia Z11 is available in two versions: basic with 4 GB of RAM and premium with 6 GB. In the first version, you can choose a model with a white or dark gray body color, and the premium version is only available in a black color with gold edging - this option, naturally, looks the most hostile.

screen

The smartphone is equipped with an IPS touch screen, based on advanced IPS-Neo technology, and is covered with a curved 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It has a highly oleophobic coating, and fingertips are not very smooth and can be erased even more easily. easy. The physical dimensions of the display are 69 × 121 mm, diagonal - 5.5 inches. The screen resolution is 1920 × 1080, and the pixel density is 403 ppi.

The frame on the sides of the screen is one day, through which the smartphone is called frameless (bezel-less), and the area of ​​the screen is 81% of the total area of ​​the front panel. Special technologies, called ARC 2.0 and FiT 2.0, provide functional interaction with the edges of the screen. Using your fingers along the edges of the display, you can scroll through desktops, open applications and switch between them, adjust the brightness level and close background programs to free up memory.

Since all these functions are enabled (and they can be enabled and disabled at your own discretion), then all erratic and unnecessary actions are not respected by the robot. You can’t suddenly turn back or exit the program - you’ll end up in a terrible fit with the throat of the work tables, which is easy to run into. So, the guarantee of handiness due to the absence of frames on the sides and the closeness of the edges of the screen to the bottom is not very important, although, of course, sometimes unplanned activities are still lost.

A detailed examination of the most widely used testing devices is provided by Oleksiy Kudryavtsev, editor of the “Monitor” and “Projector and TV” sections. Let's bring this expert thought about the screen of the monitored image.

The front surface of the Viconan screen has a glass-like plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to smudges. Judging by the display of objects against the closest authorities, the screen is shorter than the screen of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, let’s take a photo in which the white surface is visible in the switched-off screens (left - Nexus 7, right-handed - ZTE Nubia Z11, then they can be separated by size):

The screen of the ZTE Nubia Z11 is darker (photo brightness 103 versus 116 for the Nexus 7). The double display of objects on the screen of the ZTE Nubia Z11 is even weaker, which means that between the balls of the screen (more specifically, between the outer edge and the surface of the PK matrix) there is no glass gap (screen type OGS - One Glass Solution). Due to the presence of a smaller number of cordons (such as bevels/windows) and highly differentiated by the coefficients of fracture, such screens look better in the presence of intense ambient light, and the axis of their repair is often cracked This one is much more expensive, since the entire screen needs to be replaced. The outer surface of the screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (it’s more effective than the Nexus 7), so fingerprints come off much easier and are less scratchy yu, lower at the end of the slab.

With manually controlled brightness and with a white field displayed on the entire screen, the maximum brightness value was approximately 520 cd/m², the minimum - 5.5 cd/m². The maximum brightness is already high, and, looking at the visible aspects of the blindness of power, the reading of the message on this day is that the position of the appointees must be on a good level. At higher temperatures, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. Apparently, there is automatic brightness control based on the brightness sensor (located on the right hand side through the slot of the front lever). In automatic mode, when changing the external brightness settings, the brightness of the screen both moves up and down. This function depends on the brightness regulation position. Dodatkovo you can enable the option Remembering to adjust the middle, Then you can try to see the richness of brightness in the current washings. Experiments have shown that if it is created before the beginning of the present, but the optimal result from our point of view can be obtained only in this case, if you simply destroy the brightness control to the maximum, and the option Remembering to adjust the middle don't get involved. Also in the new dark function, the auto-brightness changes the brightness to 13 cd/m², in a brightly lit office (approximately 550 lux) it is set to 120-180 cd/m², in a very bright environment (suggests light on a clear day \u200b\u200bpose to the surroundings, aka without direct solar light - 20,000 lux or a little more) moves up to 520 cd / m². It turns out that the auto brightness adjustment function works adequately and in any world allows customers to adjust their work to individual needs. Only at the minimum brightness level there is frequency modulation of the feed at a frequency of 2.4 kHz. The frequency is very high, so we can see that there will be a slight increase in frequency every day in any case.

This smartphone has an IPS matrix. Microphotographs demonstrate a typical IPS subpixel structure:

To be clear, you can check out the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen can be viewed well without a significant need for colors, with great emphasis on looking perpendicular to the screen and without inverting the screens. For the sake of clarity, we present photographs on which the screens of ZTE Nubia Z11 and Nexus 7 display new images, in which the brightness of the screens is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m² across the white field on the entire screen, and Low balance on the Primus camera switches to 6500 K. Perpendicular to the screens there is a white field:

The uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field is significant. In a larger photo, along the edges of the ZTE Nubia Z11 screen, you can get a brighter color trim, but at a lower price. 1st test picture:

The colors on the screen of the ZTE Nubia Z11 are oversaturated (notably, for example, on tomatoes), and the color balance varies slightly. Now there are approximately 45 degrees below the surface and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much in both screens, but in the ZTE Nubia Z11 the contrast has changed in most cases due to the strong highlighting of blacks. I white field:

The brightness of both screens has changed (at least 4 times, based on the difference in display), but the ZTE Nubia Z11’s screen is still brighter (brightness for photos is 244 versus 234 for the Nexus 7). The black field, when drawn diagonally, brightens greatly and takes on a reddish tint. The photographs below do not demonstrate it (the brightness of the white plots perpendicular to the surface of the screens is exactly the same!):

And under another cut:

When viewed perpendicularly, the evenness of the black field is good. The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - close to 1000: 1. The hour of playback during the black-white-black transition is one 28 ms (16 ms on + 12 ms off). Transitioning between gray tones 25% and 75% (for numerical color values) and back takes 43 ms in total. Based on 32 points at equal intervals, the gray gamma curve did not reveal a collapse in either the light or the shadows. The indicator of the approximating static function is 2.14, which is a little lower than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve may not be affected by static conditions:

Dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the illumination, consistent with the nature of the displayed images, was not revealed in this case, which is good. The bad thing is that the rounded screen starts a little short of reaching the cordon of the display area, so when viewed strictly perpendicular to the screen, the rounded part begins to increase in the number of subpixels of different colors, and The edge of the screen shimmers delicately with thin colored shadows. Already under the small mounds, the rounded shapes clearly highlight the picture; looking at them, the black fields become very bright. Also, the rounded parts glare practically at any orientation of the screen as long as the light is placed above the surface of the screen, and the glare is very different for the right and left eye, when clicking movement discomfort.

The color girth is noticeably wider than sRGB:

Marvel at the spectrum:

We have already measured such spectra in, for example, Sony Xperia Z2 and other mobile devices. Sony specifies that in these screens, LEDs with a blue vibrating and green and dark phosphor are used (refer to as blue vibrating and yellow phosphors), and in this regard With other light filters, the matrix allows you to achieve a wide color coverage. So, in the red luminophore, so-called quantum dots may be used. For a living device, a wide color range is not a good idea, but a real shortcoming, since as a result the color of images - babies, photographs and films - oriented towards the sRGB space (and most of them are important), may not be natural well, saturation. It is especially noticeable on the outer shades, for example on the shades of the skin. The result is shown in the photograph.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is pleasant, since the color temperature is higher than the standard 6500 K, but the difference in the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) is lower than 3, which is an important indicator for a livable device. At which color temperature and ΔE change slightly from shade to shade - this is positively indicated on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darker areas of the gray scale may not be correct, since the balance of colors there is not of great importance, and the loss of color fading characteristics at low brightness is large.)

This device has the ability to adjust the color balance by additionally adjusting the color step by step from colder to warmer ( Cool—Natural—Warm). There are more curves on the graphs Natural correspond to the results without any correction of the color balance (adjustment after washing), and the curves Warm- let’s take it off after the knot of the backstrap in the extreme right position. It can be seen that changing the balance confirms the obtained result, since the color temperature has approached the standard values, ΔE has increased, but only slightly, at which the maximum brightness has practically not changed. However, there is no way to stop correcting a particular sense. It is also possible to select saturation profiles from options light, zvichaina і dead. It is necessary to remove the rest, as in other colors the contrast increases, further enhancing the unnatural shades of familiar colors.

Please note: the screen has a high maximum brightness and is powered by excellent anti-glare powers, so the device can be used without any problems in the posture of the premises on a sunny day. At higher temperatures, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is possible to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. Also, before the advantages of the screen, it is necessary to note the presence of an effective oleophobic coating, the presence of a wind gap in the screen balls and the mesh, high contrast, good uniformity of the black field. To the shortcomings - the low stability of black to a sophisticated look from perpendicular to the screen surface and the overly wide color girth. Those curved edges of the outer glass do not add comfort, as the stench gleams all hour long, shimmers brightly when you look directly at the screen, and in the dark the power looms to light up. However, due to the importance of characteristics for this class of devices, the screen viscosity can be set to high, if you want to be prepared for unusual and not entirely natural appearances in films and photographs.

sound

The Nubia Z11 sound system features Hi-Fi + sound, which is combined with an AKM AK4376 + Smart PA audio chip and a system with a variety of presets and Dolby Surround 7.1 surround sound virtualization. In general, the dynamics and in the headphones the sound is bright, punchy, clean and quite booming, although there are no stereo speakers, the main speaker of the smartphone is one.

Under the hour of telephone calls, the intonation and timbre of the familiar voice of the speakers become unrecognizable, the sound becomes bassy, ​​rather than dull, the noise is not noticed, the noise-attenuation system copes with its tasks adequately. There are no complaints about the sensitivity of microphones; the sound through the recorder is recorded cleanly and clearly marked when played. And the FM radio axis in this device is daily.

Camera

The hero looks at the equipment of two camera modules with separate 16 and 8 megapixels. The front camera has an 8-megapixel sensor and a wide-angle (80°) five-component lens with an f/2.4 aperture. There is no autofocus and no sweat. Beauty mode can apply effects in real time for VoLTE video calling and video conferencing.

The front camera copes well with the camera, the images are detailed, the sharpness and color reproduction are normal, and for the level of Selfies, such capacity is entirely sufficient.

The main camera is equipped with a 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 CMOS sensor and a six-component lens with an f / 2.0 aperture and an IR filter with a sapphire crystal, optical stabilization and the updated NeoVision 6 system .0. The camera boasts DTI (Deep Trench Isolation) sensor technology, LTM (Local Tone Mapping) image tone correction and 3D Noise Reduction technology.

While there is a problem with stabilization, the developers have put together a system with three technologies: optical stabilization OIS, electronic EIS, as well as moisture dispersion, called nubia HIS (Hand-Held Image Stabilization), which allows the operation of Containers with long windshield (up to 72 seconds). The camera is also equipped with very fast (0.2 s) phase detection autofocus and a light-emitting diode with medium brightness.

In the settings, which include automatic and manual modes, you can manually set ISO, white balance, and change the focus type. Control of third-party add-ons via the Camera2 API is not supported, and recording to RAW is not possible.

The video recording mode is in 4K, as well as Full HD at 60 fps, so for those who like to learn there is no problem here. The function of optical stabilization, however, only works on a standard FHD separate unit, and does not help much when driving on the go. Regardless of all stabilization technologies, hand-holding on the go does not go as smoothly as, for example, in LG smartphones.

However, there is one negative point, otherwise the camera in all modes captures video well, the images come out without artifacts or flickering, with good clarity, sharpness and detail. The sound is also recorded clearly, and the noise reduction system copes with its tasks adequately.

• Video No. 1 (95 MB, 1920 × 1080 @ 60 fps)
• Video No. 2 (94 MB, 3840 × 2160 @ 30 fps)
• Video No. 3 (25 MB, 1920 × 1080 @ 30 fps, in Russia, Nich)
• Video No. 4 (27 MB, 1920 × 1080 @ 30 fps, in Russia, day)

	For a night shift, the result is a lot of disgrace.
	The attached camera also copes not too badly.
	Poor detailing.
	Please note the license plates of the nearest cars.
	The camera copes with macro photography.
	Unrespectful of artifacts, the leaves are poorly prepared.
	The macro in the room is good for the camera.
	The noise in the shadows is strong, but the stench is disgusting.

ZTE Nubia Z11	Apple iPhone SE

I would like to call the camera a good one, but it does not allow me to create a number of minor or even minor shortcomings. At first glance, everything works well, but then the software processing, rough noise reduction and other software artifacts catch your eye. Prote, when looking at the monitor on the monitor, the pictures look good, so you won’t be surprised by the details. So the camera is entirely focused on the documentary, and sometimes on the artistic side.

Telephone and communications

The modification of Nubia Z11 for the European market standardly supports 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA networks, and also supports the fourth generation LTE FDD and TDD networks. LTE Advanced Cat.9 connections are supported, which theoretically allows you to receive and transmit data at speeds up to 450/50 Mbit/s. The smartphone supports all three of the broadest LTE FDD bands available from national operators (B3, B7 and B20), and can also function in the LTE TDD Band 40 band. The Qualcomm chip is supported by the company's technology I have TruSignal Multi-Antenna Boost, which is supposed to work on the brightness communication is 30% faster, data transmission speed is 40% higher, and energy consumption is 20% lower.

In practice, the speed of connection in 4G networks and work with steel layers in general is not a complaint: the smartphone vibrates easily and reconnects after breaking, does not lose connections in areas of non-reception, Although I don’t see the highest speeds in 4G in familiar transformation places.

The device supports Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, supports two Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) MU-MIMO, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, you can organize a drone-free access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. The USB Type-C connector supports connecting external devices in USB OTG mode. The NFC module demonstrates its ability to work with the Mifare Classic protocol, which is necessary for successful operation of the program with the Triika transport card.

The phone add-on supports Smart Dial, so that when you dial a phone number, you can immediately search for the first characters in your contacts. Seamlessly entering Swype using the standard keyboard is not supported, but you can enable the installed TouchPal.

OS and software

Nubia Z11 is based on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow platform with the nubia UI 4.0 shell. A familiar interface with wide support for gestures and numerous “fine” settings, such as the robot indicator, reassignment of keys, etc., in addition to the ability to control other edges of the screen. Otherwise, enjoy the basic MIUI-like interface without a separate menu of add-ons, with wide customization options, from various design themes to multi-screen and duplication, and making separate copies of add-ons for the skin. u. There are a lot of possibilities, and in order to make it easier to navigate them, the investigators prepared a report for this purpose. It is noteworthy that this time many more sections were translated into Russian language, although there were some grammatical compromises.

productivity

The Nubia Z11 hardware platform will be based on the same top-level Qualcomm platform - the 4-core Snapdragon 820 SoC, manufactured using the 14 nm process technology. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 configuration includes several 64-bit Kryo (ARMv8) processor cores, which are powered by Qualcomm. The maximum frequency of two cores is 2.15 GHz, the other two can operate at frequencies up to 1.6 GHz. Graphics processing is supported by the new Adreno 530 GPU with a core frequency of up to 620 MHz and support for OpenGL ES 3.1+.

The volume of RAM of the smartphone is 4 GB, and the built-in flash memory is 64 GB. This fee can be increased by adding microSD cards up to 200 GB. In practice, our Transcend Premium microSDXC UHS-1 conversion card with a capacity of 128 GB requires you to select a supplier for exchange. It is also possible to connect external flash drives to the USB port in OTG mode.

The test results of Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 are presented in the table, you can directly evaluate and compare them with the results of alternative current top platforms using real numbers taken in the same test programs. The platform is very strong, in all tests it shows results close to the maximum, and in terms of graphics, it has no rivals, next to the Samsung Exynos 8890 Octa. Top solutions from MediaTek (MT6797T) and Huawei (HiSilicon Kirin 955), as well as Snapdragon 810, are equal to these two record holders in graphics tests.

Today's most powerful games are running at maximum settings. In World of Tanks you can comfortably play at maximum fps values; most important games also do not show any lags. The platform is still fresh and as powerful as possible, and it clearly has a significant reserve of productivity for future updates.

Testing in the remaining versions of complex tests AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:

All the results that we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks were compiled in a table for ease of reference. The table contains a number of other devices from different segments, also tested on similar versions of benchmarks (it is necessary to make a preliminary assessment of the dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one level it is possible to present the results from different versions of benchmarks, but “behind the scenes” a lot of yearly and current models are lost - through those that have recently been “severely recoded” on the latest versions of test programs.

Testing of the graphics subsystem in gaming tests 3DMark, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When tested in 3DMark for high-end smartphones, it is now possible to run the add-on in Unlimited mode, which allows rendering fixed at 720p and VSync enabled (through which the speed can rise above 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

Since there are no benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, it is best to rely on the fact that the results in them are completely dependent on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers. such feasibility is when tested don't make a mistake. If you are using Android OS, you will need to use Google Chrome from now on.

Thermal photos

Below is a thermal image of the rear surface, taken after 10 runs of battery testing in the GFXBenchmark program:

Heating is more localized at the top of the device, which perhaps indicates the SoC chips have worn out. According to the heat chamber data, the maximum heating is 38 degrees (at a normal air temperature of 24 degrees), but not much more.

created video

To test the “university” of the created video (including the support of different codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we selected the widest range of formats, which make up the bulk of the content available in Merezha. Please note that for mobile devices it is important to support hardware decoding of video clips on the same chip, since it is often impossible to obtain current options for the storage of processor cores alone. It’s also not possible to rely on a mobile device for decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility lies with the PC, and no one is going to disgrace it. All results are compiled into a single table.

The results of testing and testing, to our satisfaction, revealed that the system provides the necessary decoders that are required for the effective processing of the most wide-ranging multimedia files, including audio files. To successfully develop them, you won’t have to resort to the help of a third-party programmer - for example, MX Player. I want to play in the new AC3 sound format without problems, but I have to deal with a rare problem.

Further testing of the created video in Vikonav Oleksiy Kudryavtsev.

Theoretically, the possible support of adapters for displaying images on an external device could not be verified due to the availability of the adapter version that connects to the USB Type-C port, which was limited to tests of displaying video files on I'll install the screen myself. For which we used a set of test files to move one frame per frame with an arrow and a rectangle (chapter “Method for testing devices created and displaying a video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices 720) /24p

Note: Available in both stops evenness і omissions The rating is green, which means that, more than anything, when watching films, artifacts appear due to uneven cuts and frame skipping, or they will not be visible at all, or their volume and visibility Don’t worry about the comfort of looking at it. Red icons indicate possible problems associated with the creation of these files.

The criterion for displaying frames is that the creation of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can be displayed at more or less even intervals and without missing frames. Please note that the screen refresh rate is approximately 61 Hz, so the ideal frame rate does not go beyond any typical frame rates in a video file. When video files are created with separate 1920 by 1080 pixels (1080p) images on the smartphone screen, the video file can be displayed exactly across the screen, one to one by pixel, then in full resolution. It is apazon yaskravosti vіdpovіdovіdovіdovіdovіdovіdovіdovіdov-diapasone 16-235: in the tinyi of 4 vіdtіinki, the Zhornmy is angry, and in the Svytli, the All-Gradi-Gradiiyahiyїiyahovkavs.

Hour of autonomous robot

The capacity of the small battery installed in the Nubia Z11 is 3000 mA per year. This is entirely worthwhile, but the NeoPower 2.0 technology is a more comprehensive solution that allows you to significantly increase the operating time of your smartphone.

Uninterrupted reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, light theme, with auto-leaving) at a minimum comfortable level of brightness (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) over 16 years old If you continuously watch videos from Youtube in high quality (720p) with the same brightness through a home Wi-Fi network, the device can last for at least 10 years. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone functions for 5 years or more.

The device supports fast charging technology, which mostly works on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. However, retailers call it “nubia quick charge 3.0 technology,” although we know its correct name, not Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. As a result, the complete hemline adapter with variable maximum output power and voltage charges the device for approximately 2 years with a 1.5 A power supply at a voltage of 6 V. The device does not support wireless charging.

pouch

As far as prices are concerned, European prices have already been announced at the time of presentation in Berlin, they will be 500 euros for the basic version and 600 euros for the premium version in black and gold design with 6 GB of RAM.

The device, of course, is the most cost-effective, functional, top-tier flagship smartphone without any hassles - with a clear screen and sound, an advanced hardware platform and communication capabilities, and good cameras. In appearance, the metal body completes the rosy picture, and what’s more pleasing is the autonomy of the new product: in the top segment, such displays are rarely seen, although the Nubia Z11 is not a record holder in this regard. Whether your smartphone is completely intact and complete, there are no failures or shortcomings in it, and as long as it faces success on the Russian market, then, as always, the price will rule. And it seems that 500 euros for a domestic buyer is expensive, and in this price range, Nubia Z11 has many competitors, including brands that are popular in our region. Meanwhile, the ZTE company is beginning to work increasingly actively to increase the recognition of its premium Nubia brand, at a time when sales of ZTE's own products have already shown that they will continue to grow significantly.
