Yes, I touched "Essential Phone (PH-1)".
今のスマホデザインのダメなところを正すスマホ。チタン&セラミック採用で、プラスチックカバーをつけなくても毎日のヘビーユースに耐えるデザイン。Android開発者アンディ・ルービンの一派が今月立ち上げた｢Essential｣プロダクツの先発製品は前評判上々でしたが、実際手にとってみた感想は…期待したほどでもない印象…かもしれません。
It looks good!
The place where the area around the front camera is loose is futuristic, and the screen vs. body ratio is 85%higher than the Galaxy S8.Gizmodo's Kelly Bourdet editor -in -chief said, "I didn't think anything about playing for 3 minutes with ESSENTIAL PHONE, but after returning to iPhone 7, it became" What is this piece of city ".
However, the function of the contents is not included in that good appearance.It's nice to have done simple, but it's too minimal to be able to do it for granted.A good example is the LCD screen.It is extremely bright and the output is 700 NITS at the peak, but it is even higher than the 550 NITS, which is the highest level of Amored screen, including Galaxy S8.
When I hear, I expect something good, but it's not so colorful and the quality of black is so good.If you play a video in a dark room, the bezel is blacker than the screen, so a dark gray border will enter the edge all the time.Even though it is a wide size of 19:10 aspect ratio, it is only Home screen that makes full use of it, and all videos have strange black bars.For other bezelless models such as LG G6 and Galaxy S8, the size of the video can be adjusted according to the screen, but Essential Phone cannot do that.Automatically or manually.
There are so many functions that have missed the minimalism.Headphone jack, microSD card slot, wireless charging, waterproof.I think it would be inconvenient every day if this is not done.Moreover, one speaker mounted on the bottom is ...
The only good news is the good battery.I was worried that it would be tough to use a 5.7 -inch display for a long time on 3040 MAH, but it is quite good for battery consumption.I measured it for 9 hours and 39 minutes, and it is only 30 minutes longer than 9 hours and 12 minutes of Galaxy S8.
The driven chips are Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, RAM is 4GB, storage 128GB, and it's already crispy.It's a Google main -stream Android 7.1, so it's good that there is no extra app at all.According to the company's story, it seems that the support for Android 8.0 Oreo will not be available.If it is true, it will be faster than any Android mobile manufacturer.
However, the good point is that there is no camera function.I've been updating for the past week, and I've stopped counting on the way.This was implemented in the first update, but it was not possible to shoot HDR when it was unpacked.Even after updating three or four times, photos are still useless.It's OK in a bright place, but if you arrange it with Galaxy S8, it lacks sharpness and exposure allowance.
The camera function at night is quite large, and it is a series of photos that are dark and blurred.Even if you take a miracle shot, it is inferior to everything from smartphones in the same price range.
The S8 has one 12MP camera, while the ESSENTIAL PHONE has two 13MP cameras. However, unlike other dual cameras such as the iPhone 7 Plus and Huawei P10, the effects of optical zoom lenses and background bokeh cannot be expected. On the contrary, there are almost no custom settings ...! If you look at the icon that switches between the auto, monochrome, and slow motion shooting mode, the icon that switches between HDR and flash, you can only switch on / off the shutter sound and location information. Manual corrections, filters, and extras shooting modes that are standard equipment on other companies' flagship models ... no! Even if you select HDR, the settings will not be saved, so you have to choose again every time you start the camera app. It takes a few seconds to change any settings, so it's better not to open the camera unless you have anything.
The most severe is shooting speed.Even if you tap the shutter button once, there is nothing to react, so I will tap it again, so I will not be able to take it yet, so I will tap the third time.Not yet.The icon is spinning around in the lower right ... Tap again just in case.Then a few seconds will be tapped again as if nothing had happened.Like the screenshot above, there are many errors that say, "I couldn't take a picture. Please retry."
I just want to shoot two consecutive photos!I knew for the first time with Essential Phone that taking pictures was so big.Even though the camera is the life of a smartphone, I skip it in such a place.
When I asked the public relations of Essential Products about the frank thing, he said, "I will soon get an OTA update (update via the Internet), so it should be possible to deal with the problem of image quality because the camera is slow."rice field.If there is any change, we will update this manuscript!
Although it is a lack of role to call it revolutionary, Apple and Samsung's smartphone two -strength system has a good balance, so I want you to work a little more only the camera function.Otherwise, it will end when you say, "Even if only the skin is beautiful."
