It has already spread a lightweight in the fashion mobile phone, and now "infection" is coming to the smartphone. When it comes to smartphones, our general impression is powerful, but the volume is "strong", especially using the Windows system mobile phone. Due to the excellent hardware performance, the volume has always been "high", almost the same as bricks , Bitter business people who love beauty.
But now, there are some changes, such as Dopod 565 in the earlier days, with a full-length and 100 grams of coordinating fitness, and a lot of things in the market. So, for PPC (Pocket PC System) mobile phone in size, Dopod can make it successfully slimming? The answer will be announced today!
Shape: What is the sacredness in the end? Can I connect PPC with "lightweight" two words? The answer is not Dopoda 818. Even if it is already late autumn, we can feel happy with 818, we can feel happy: "Spring of PPC is here" - Isn't it? The volume of 108.2 × 58 × 18.2mm, with 150 grams of weight, the whole is a few levels than the previous one, and the cozer brought is self-evident.
Icy feels from 818 aluminum magnesium alloy fuselage, giving people a sense of high-tech products, and matte material also makes the hand improvement. The body is designed to be very simple, and all excess modifications are rejected. The handset is also a status light, the screen occupying the panel 2/3 is very eye-catching, and the flag labeled "CECT" under the screen represents the test prototype of this machine is the CECT test prototype.
The screen area is 2.8 inches, and due to the volume limit of the body, it is narrowed than the top-action 696, and the advantages and dishes of this screen will be detailed in the following evaluation. There are 9 function keys, send, hang up, contacts, and schedules, including the four buttons of the middle, and the flexible design with the body's watermast, and there is no feeling of being awkward.
The black outer frame surrounded by the body should be the only decoration of the whole machine. The visual effect of the imitation ceramic material has a good visual effect, and the number of flanges greatly increase the friction of the fuselage, which makes it more comfortable. All side keys are hidden in the border, although the overall visual effect is maintained, but the feel is difficult to take care of, and the button is not large, and the operation is quite hard.
The volume button appears in the sliding structure, the feel is good, the power button is located on the right side, and the bottom right is an extremely good infrared interface. Short press the power button to switch the screen, long press is the switch background light. The pattern of the top of the stylus is seamless with the phone border, and it is really difficult to find the position of the stylus. Birds are not metal, it feels lighter, but it is still very easy to operate.
Infrared interface
The SD / MMC slot is located at the top of the phone. There is no rubber coverage, so the black SD / MMC card can be used to better maintain the unity of the whole machine. Pay attention to the slot with two small holes - is the hinged rope hole of the 818! The meaning of this hanging rope is unprecedented, visible to Dopod to 818 confidence.
At the bottom there is a mini USB interface and 2.5mm headphone jack, the Mini USB has a wide range of applications, which is well compatible, which is also an appreciation of 818. Next to the headphone jack, there is a small hole, this is the 818 RESET button, which is controlled by stylus punching, and the hard start of the phone can be realized.
The back of the phone is also the alloy material, which follows the simple route, self-film mirror and the camera. It is worth noting that the speaker is hidden within the self-film mirror, which is very clever design, which minimizes the effects of the speaker hole to the appearance. The connection between the back cover and the body is very ideal. There is a metal contact with the body connection, and the mobile power is also cut off while the back cover is removed. The power consumption of the PPC mobile phone has always been a user's heart disease - who doesn't want 818 to pay more than a film? 818 uses 1200mAh lithium battery, high-intensity continuous operation time is about 6 to 8 hours; if the brightness of the screen is lowered, all kinds of power saving measures can be used, and it can be used for 2 days; if it is used as a normal telephone, close the screen, So insisting about more than 3 days is not a problem.
Hardware: Configuration: 818 uses a 2.8-inch 65536 color TFT touch screen, a semi-reflective structure, 240 × 320 pixel QVGA resolution. The CPU is slightly enhanced compared to Intel BulverDe 416MHz, which is slightly enhanced compared to 696 Intel PXA263 Xscale 400 MHz. The memory is 64M RAM, which is worse than the 128M RAM of 696, and the configuration of 64M ROM remains unchanged.
The SD / MMC slot supports the maximum 1G memory card, supports SD I / O, and can easily form wireless local area networks through the Wi-Fi card in the SD format. Support for infrared, Bluetooth and other wireless transmission, the camera is upgraded from 300,000 pixels of 696 to 1.3 megapixels, belonging to the high-end configuration of the time.
Screen: Turn the brightness to the highest, you can get the best display effect, 818 uses 240 × 320 pixels resolution, 65536 color TFT screen, uniform brightness, excellent color, and the response speed is also excellent, no slim water. The semi-reflective structure makes 818 not afraid of sunlight, regardless of the indoor chamber, can show the best results.
Compared with the previous example 696, the 818 screen performance is further true, especially the color, and the effect is better. Since the resolution remains unchanged, the 2.8-inch area is reduced by 3.5 inch of 696, so the image display is more delicate and better. Similarly, since the screen area is reduced, the user's click accuracy requires higher requirements, and for some small buttons, the fault tolerance rate of the stylus operation is reduced.
Standby display, the content of the start menu and the new menu can be changed at will, and the screen brightness can get longer usage time. 818 also supports the subject function, which can easily replace the screen theme, due to high-speed CPU, the subject switching has almost no waiting time. Overall, 818's screen is nothing impact on daily operations, and the area size is just a personal preference problem, and the author will have basically no misoperation during the test.
Ring tone: Although the loudspeaker located in the back is not large, the volume is amazing, and there is still a lot more than 696, and the opportunity to miss the phone has little. When you play a ringtone, the sound quality is quite good when the audio file is. With a powerful PPC system, the audio formats such as MID, WAV, WMA, MP3 can be used as a ringtone, and various events can be set separately, and there are many options. If you think that the ringtone is placed in memory too much, you can use the Roof path to the SD card by modifying the registry, you can avoid the above troubles.
Cruise: full screen viewing is delight, the screen is very fine, so the effect is quite good. The view is very smooth, there is almost no delay, and the remaining number of remaining sheets is displayed below the lower left. The highest photographic resolution is 960 × 1280 pixels, and 8X digital zoom can be achieved under the lowest resolution (120 × 160), but in the case of insufficient light source, the use of digital zoom will enlarge the noise, and the effect is not effective. 818 can perform photo or short film, according to application range, the photo is divided into three modes, large head and photo frame, and the short film has two kinds of ordinary and MMS, and the short film can even be able to pay for the upper limit, very intimate. For different environments, there are 5 white balance modes in 818, and the night mode will be slightly delayed. In addition, there are 4 special effects and several photo frames, the photo frame can be downloaded from the time, and the playability is quite high.
In a million pixel camp, 818 is a better imaging quality, and the corner of the object is quite clear. In most cases, automatic mode can be used, but there is a red-biased case under strong sunlight. There is no role in replacing white balance mode. If the light is insufficient, it is recommended to use night mode, although the speed of the scenery and shutter will become slow, but there is a great improvement in exposure, noise, and noise is not serious.
The smooth movie effect has to be mentioned, there is no shooting time limit, in addition to the standard 176 × 144 pixels, 128 × 96 pixels, support 240 × 320 pixels full-screen movies, and is still smooth and worth considering. The short film format has two types of M-JPG and AVI, which is convenient for sending MMS for different models. Short film shooting is recommended in a sufficient environment, it is not recommended to open the night mode, so as not to occur in a phenomenon of severely lost frames.
Click to view the sample transmission: no matter the photo, short film, audio, you can easily send it through the MMS function, short distance transmission, built-in infrared and Bluetooth can be competent, but also use ActiveSync software, synchronizing with the computer through infrared or Bluetooth Of course, the way to use the USB data line is the fastest, and the operation is also convenient. After inserting the Wi-Fi module of the SD I / O, the Wi-Fi feature of the 802.11b protocol can be added to 818, which is a powerful extension of 818 wireless transmission.
Software: System: 818 Operating system full name "Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC Phone Edition" (true enough). Due to the second edition of the PPC 2003 system, the 818-1696 supports more advanced characteristics, more stable than 696.
Basic function: PPC Phone Edition For a simple PPC system, the function of the mobile phone is added, the corresponding service such as call restrictions, call waiting, call forwarding, automatic answering, etc., can be set by setting the / telephone option.
Press the send button to enter the dial interface, the huge number key allows the user to make the user through the finger dialing, the two buttons of the fuselage and the side keys on the left side can be customized. Short pressing the power button to close the screen, as for whether the lock keyboard can be set by the user.
Dynamic memory distribution makes 818 to support thousands of contact entries. For busy business people, it is of course like Tiger, and the richness of the record is well known, and the basic operations such as groups, findings, etc. are also quite convenient. Also have intimate birthday reminders and fun calls.
818 and 696 support pinyin, full screen handwriting and continuous handwriting function, mobile phone recognition ability is quite strong, the font of Longfei Feng Dance is also incorrect, and it can be set for the properties and habits of writing. 818 With thousands of SMS storage capacity, it is really a gospel for friends who are lazy to organize SMS. Advanced Features: Built-in resource manager provides convenience to file management, no need to install, the own resource management function is enough to meet the daily needs, and can operate the body memory and SD / MMC card. Since it is a Windows system, Operating Of course, it is the same as the computer's Windows, for Windows supported files, you can click Open.
818 Support horizontal screen operation, as for the direction of rotation, you can set itself. After the rotation, the "Recent Open" in the Start menu will shrink to the icon, arranged at the top. The horizontal screen is basically consistent with the operation of the vertical screen, just feel more like operating Windows on the computer.
Entering Windows Media Player, the play box is drawn, but the video movie is still maintained, and the "full screen" button can be enlarged to full screen appreciation, and there are no exceptions in the two playback methods. The advantage of horizontal screen operation can be reflected in the Internet, more comfortable than the vertical screen.
Performance: In this evaluation, in order to test 818 performance, we use JBenchmark 3D and PPC-PPC-Pocket PC Benchmark1.0. In JBenchmark 3D test, benefited from 416MHz high-speed CPU, 818 minimal appearance, the entire running process is basically smooth, and the performance is very good. Click to download JBenchmark 3D Test Video Pocket PC Benchmark1.0 can test the PPC's CPU, graphics, and data processing capabilities, and a loss test of the battery's durability. The resulting results are as shown in the figure below, and the final achievement is satisfactory, it is worthy of the new generation of strong machines of Dopod.
Summary: Although the characteristics of 818 are basically the same as 696, there is still a lot of detail, hardware performance than Dopod, and the 1.3 megapixel camera's joining also makes 818 entertainment performance transcend 696. With more than 696, it is believed that 818 will have won a lot of female users, broaden the user level. The listing price of 818 may not be low, but will be like 565, so that the Windows mobile phone is further approved by the user, Dopod, this "slimming", is indeed significant.
