In addition to full screen, dual camera, large battery and other "conventional" elements, Honor V10 also adopted a positive fingerprint design, and into more AI elements.

---

The smart phone market in the past three months can be described as "crazy."

Starting from the beginning of September, with the official launch of the iPhone X and the listing of two major domestic 3000-file models, the Xiaomi MIX 2 and vivo X20, the full screen quickly became the most sought-after for a smartphone market from a "new concept." Selling point.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

In the next three months, almost all of the major mobile phone manufacturers have quickly launched their own full screen mobile phone. Such a dense new machine release, in the past two years is gradually becoming a "dull" smart phone market, it is particularly unusual.

In this wave of full screen boom, the Honor of cell phones naturally did not fall. On October 11, Honor unveiled the 7X with a 5.93-inch 18: 9 screen. November 28, Honor has released the V10, we talk about this product today.

Full fingerprint era of the forerunner

Let's start with the most important difference in Honor V10 - front fingerprints.

In the current full-screen mobile phone at this stage, the most common practice is based on the most common 5.5-inch 16: 9 screen, based on the screen to maintain the same width, and then the screen up and down each stretch for a long time. At the same time, by reducing the "forehead" width up and down the screen to "offset" the screen up and down the space taken up, so as to ensure the size of the phone and the previous 5.5-inch 16: 9 mobile phone basically the same.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

This is also the current 18: 9 ratio of full-screen mobile phones are sought after in the market, an important reason, after all, the size of the phone does not increase under the premise that no consumers do not like the larger screen.

However, this practice inevitably poses a problem: the screen of the mobile phone "chin" is too narrow. After the normal encapsulation of the screen IC and the space for the antenna clearance, the "fingerprint" can not be plugged in Module.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Faced with this problem, in addition to the iPhone X radical with 3D face recognition instead of fingerprint recognition, and the vast majority of Android full screen mobile phone approach is to fingerprinting the phone behind, although the fingerprint has been generally proven to be a post Experience a better choice.

Until Honor v10.

In order to integrate the front fingerprints in the narrow "chin",Honor V10 uses a process called "Golden Inlay". The general principle is that the traditional fingerprint module integrated in the mobile phone motherboard is moved to the front glass Panel, increased "chin" space utilization, to be in the "chin" just a plus 5T, Nuts Pro 2 and other mainstream full screen mobile phone slightly longer case, equipped with a fingerprint.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

In the pre-fingerprint details of the deal, the Honor of the V10 is also doing very well, and not because of space constraints and compromise.

First of all, Honor V10 fingerprinting area wide enough, not because of the narrow "chin" and shrink, and in the visual harmony of the "chin" in the middle position, which is more than another main front fingerprint full screen mobile phone Sharp S2 On that narrow and down the front fingerprints much better.

Secondly, although the Honor V10 fingerprint recognition is not press, but fortunately there is no obvious color difference between the fingerprint identification button and the front panel, the visual is still more harmonious.

In the fingerprint recognition experience, Honor V10 nothing can be critical, the touch of a finger can complete the unlock, and fingerprint recognition of all current mainstream models.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Have to say that after experiencing a large number of rear fingerprints or front face recognition full screen mobile phone, to Honor V10 front fingerprint, unlock experience immediately felt a grade, especially the phone on the table this Kind of scene, with the front fingerprint, just touch the fingerprint can unlock, do not need to pick up the phone to find the back of the fingerprint, do not need to face to the phone to try face unlock.

As for the pre-fingerprint on the full-screen mobile phone will not have "top-heavy" feeling, we do not have to worry about.

Mentioned above, the Honor of the V10 did not result in a significant increase in the size of the machine due to the use of longer screens, the size of the machine and other full-screen mobile phone with rear fingerprint recognition is not very different, and before the most common 5.5-inch 16: 9 phone is not too much difference, so the relative position of the front finger just a little bit down, not enough to cause significant interference with the use.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Aside from unlocking, one additional benefit of the front fingerprint is that it can act as a navigation key.

Honor V10 operating logic and other touch-enabled fingerprint phone is not much difference between the front, long touch back to the home page, left or right slide to open multi-tasking, sliding the bottom of the screen is a voice assistant. Of course, if you have to use the virtual keys on the screen, the Honor of V10 can be transferred out.

In addition to fingerprint recognition, Honor V10 also supports front-facing camera-based face recognition.

With the lifted bright screen, Honor V10 can be done like OPPO R11s, pick up the phone directly into the desktop, no need to press any key. Can also be like the iPhone X, choose to turn off the recognition into the desktop function, stay locked in the screen lock screen, and then slide into the desktop again.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

However, in the process of Honor V10 experience, in addition to just get the phone test function that will, then I rarely use V10 face recognition. This is not because V10 face recognition function is not easy to use, on the contrary, V10 face recognition and other domestic mobile phone excellent face recognition as fast, but compared to excellent face recognition, fingerprint unlock Faster, less demanding on the release gesture.

5.99-inch LCD full screen

Honor V10 is equipped with a 5.99-inch IPS LCD screen, the resolution is 2160X1080, ppi 403, the screen corners fillet cutting.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Honor V10 factory default mode is "bright", the actual display is obviously partial "cool", the color temperature should be above 7000K, which is most of the domestic screen tuning style. Switch to "standard" mode, this "cool" tendency eased, but still can see some eye-catching treatment.

And the same price with several models with 6-inch Samsung AMOLED full screen compared to Honor V10 has the advantage of higher screen resolution (after all, the LCD sub-pixel is a standard RGB arrangement), and there is no possibility of low-frequency PWM dimming Bring the flashing problem.

Only 6.97 mm thick all-metal body

According to official data, the Honor of V10 screen share is 79.10%, this should be a very "honest" data, at the same price models at the usual level.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Honor V10 fuselage is a common all-metal material, the shape of the machine to deal with more Founder, after double-sided CNC chamfered surface of the bezel and the back of a flat back cut a groove to see before dismantling, we I thought that the V10's middle and rear covers are two separate parts.

Compared with other phones with a curved back cover, the Honor of the V10 is not radiused. The overall Founder design can make more efficient use of the interior space. The disadvantage is that the phone looks partial. Fortunately, the Honor of the V10's body thickness of only 6.97 mm, 6-inch 18: 9 full-screen models can be considered thin, even without radians, the machine does not seem to feel thick.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Even more rare is that in such a thin body, the Honor of the V10's battery capacity actually reached 3750 mA, more than a plus 5T a full 450 mA, which shows the Honor of the V10 spent in the internal space A lot of thought.

In addition to the above, on the appearance of the Honor of V10 there are several notable places below:

1. The bottom retained 3.5 mm headphone jack, audio codec for the SoC supporting programs, put the sound quality performance is acceptable, in the current choice of many new machines cut 3.5 mm headphone jack background, the Honor of the V10 headphone jack can be retained Good thing(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

2. The top of the retained infrared, you can use the system built-in "smart remote" app control appliances;

3. Support NFC, NFC antenna is located in the upper right corner of the back cover;

4. does not support dust and water;

5. front glass cover with oleophobic, back metal back cover no oleophobic, but given Honor V10 metal surface frosting is very fine, everyday touching the metal back cover basically do not have astringent feeling.

Still black and white double photo, but the program is different

The rear camera is another highlight of the V10 Honor.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Hardware, although the Honor of the V10 is still using the "color + black and white" dual camera program, color for the main imaging, black and white sensor used to improve night quality and record depth of field data. However, the Honor of V10 uses a new "16 million color + 20 million black and white" design, which is different from the Honor of the previous cell phone.

Which 20 million pixel black and white photo sensor is Sony IMX350, and Huawei Mate 9, P10, Mate 10 the same, but the 16 million color main photo sensor model has not seen before Sony IMX498.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Sony sensor model name is not the bigger the better. In the introduction of the Honor official website, mentioned V10 uses "PDAF dual-core technology", PDAF is phase focusing (Phase Detection Auto Focus), the interesting place is "dual-core focus."

In addition to the sensor model, the camera's other important hardware is the matching lens module. The glistening aperture of both lenses of V10 is f / 1.8, which is a lot bigger than Honor V9 and Honor 9 on f / 2.2. This shows that the Honor of the V10 lens module has also been a new design, but slightly regrettable that the Honor of the V10 two lenses are not optical anti-shake.

After chatting about the hardware, let's take a look at the actual performance of this new dual camera project of Honor V10.

Focus on, the Honor of the V10 dual-core focus should be due to the level of the majority of scenes, can be completed quickly and accurately focus, slightly more than the Samsung Galaxy Note8, Google Pixel 2 and other all-pixel focus of the flagship slow a little bit, And iPhone X almost the same speed.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

One thing to remind is that, with the Honor V10, if the outside world is poor, the phone will prompt after pressing the shutter "is improving the quality of the picture, please hold your device."

This is because the phone detects poor ambient light and will continue to take pictures after normal shooting is completed, and then improve the imaging quality through multiple composite methods. At this time, even if you remove the phone in advance, it will not usually result in a photo being taken because the photo has been taken before "improving the image quality." However, for better image quality, it is highly recommended that you press the shutter button Maintain a few seconds the stability of the phone, imaging quality will often be significantly improved.

Finally, we look at the Honor of the V10 bokeh (large aperture) mode.

Like most mobile phones with this type of functionality, the Honor of the V10 is an "occasionally usable" blurring effect. When the background is not too complicated, it can not be enlarged, and occasionally there will be a small rollover.

To say the advantage, Honor V10 bokeh mode flexibility is high, either in the normal wide-angle use, you can zoom in while blurring, and even black and white camera can be superimposed, in black and white camera mode Blurring. If you want to simply shoot people, the Honor of V10 also has a superposition of beauty features Portrait mode optional.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Overall, in addition to the lens protruding too obvious, Honor V10 rear camera experience, imaging quality, function are excellent, and occasionally there will be stunning performance. In its 3000 yuan file, the Honor of the V10's camera performance can be said that one of the best products on the market, and may not even need to add "one."

Kirin 970, based on "Oreo" EMUI 8.0

SoC, Honor V10 and Huawei Mate 10 using the same unicorn 970, a detailed explanation of unicorn 970, we can click on the link to read our previous reports.

Overall, the unicorn 970's CPU performance and the previous generation Kirin 960 or less, GPU performance has improved, adding for the AI-related computing custom NPU, the communication baseband has reached the industry-leading level to support the main card at the same time 4G, Technology from TSMC 16 nm upgrade to 10 nm, energy performance has been significantly improved.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

Performance, unicorn 970 with EMUI based on Android 8.0, Honor V10's performance is excellent, whether it is a variety of app or multi-task switch, are very smooth. In addition, according to the official website description, Honor V10 also uses Kirin 970's NPU, using "artificial intelligence 2.0 for multi-core heterogeneous resource scheduling," theoretically in the long-term use will have a greater probability of ensuring smooth.

Android 8.0 also brings to EMUI a very useful feature for me - LDAC and aptX HD. If you have a wireless headset such as the Sony WI-1000X, MDR-1000X and other good sound quality and support for LDAC or aptX HD audio transmission protocol, use the Honor V10 such a mobile phone equipped with Android 8.0 system, you can use LDAC or aptX HD, get better sound quality than normal aptX, AAC, SBC protocols.
