    [Zhongguancun Online] Qikuo Evaluation: Remember the Qikuo Conference held by 360 Company in Beijing last August? At that conference, 360 Company launched Qikuo Flagship Edition and two products, which achieved good sales results in the 11.11 e-commerce war. After half a year, 360 finally updated its product line again and launched a new product called 360 Mobile Phone Qikuo.

    As we all know, 360 Company has accumulated profound information security for many years. In the two products released before, we have seen the good protection of 360OS for users’ information security. The 360 mobile phone Qikuo released this time continues the "extreme security" characteristics of the previous work, and at the same time, the hardware specifications have been significantly improved, which can better meet the needs of the "geek" group.

The book box is the same as Qiku Ultimate Edition.

    First of all, let’s take a look at the cool parameters of 360 mobile phone: this product is equipped with a 2560*1440 resolution screen, built-in Xiaolong 808 processor, 4GB RAM+128GB ROM. It supports all domestic network standards (full netcom), and the camera is equipped with a dual 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. Support fingerprint identification, all-metal body, battery capacity of 3700 mAh (typical).

2K large screen metal feels excellent.

    At first glance, 360 Qikuo flagship geek edition is no different from Qikuo flagship edition released last year. The super-large screen accounts for 83%, and with the resolution of 2K, the visual effect is very good, and the pixel particles commonly seen on low-resolution screens are completely invisible. The color saturation is as high as 95%, the color is true and bright, and it supports dynamic contrast adjustment technology. The use of 2.5D curved glass improves the feel of sliding and touching a lot. Of course, there are also black edges on the screen, and overall, the control is ok.

Screen area that can be touched by one hand (hold the phone vertically)

    The author took a group of screen photos in a dark environment. From the actual photos, we can see that the color transition of this screen is relatively natural, and the color can basically be truly restored, which is good in restoring rich colors. In addition, according to the author’s test, the percentage of one-handed operation covering the screen area is about 45.7%.

    When you come to the frame, because its back is curved (high in the middle and low on both sides), it gives people a very slim feeling visually while holding it in the palm of your hand. The network standard includes the 4G/3G/2G standard of mobile/Unicom/telecom, without considering the operator matching problem. While it has built-in 128GB of super storage space, 360 mobile phone Qikuo flagship geek edition also supports up to 64GB of expanded storage space, which can be said to be specially prepared for people who follow dramas, games and listen to music. Presumably, the total storage space is more than 150GB, and any demand can be met.

    The loudspeaker is arranged at the bottom of the fuselage, which can basically avoid the obstruction of external sound during use; The data transmission interface adopts a relatively conservative and popular common USB specification, so that the data line of USB Type-C interface is not universal.

The back panel is mostly covered with metal.

Double rear camera and fingerprint identification module

    The back of the flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone is covered with a large area of metal. As usual, in order to leave room for the antenna, the upper and lower sides are designed with nonmetal, and the transition gap is small. The metal panel has been sandblasted, and it feels more delicate. Above it, two 13-megapixel rear lenses, double-color temperature fill light and fingerprint identification area are obviously visible. Details about its dual-camera imaging principle and fingerprint identification will be sent later.

360 OS that is easy to use and secure enough.

    With years of intensive cultivation in the field of Internet security, the reputation of 360 series products in the PC industry is obvious to all. Now they have brought the concept of "extreme security" to the intelligent industry. Two 360 Qikuo mobile phones released last year have performed well in this respect. On the flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone Qikuo, "extreme security" has been further strengthened.

Pre-installed 360 OS

    Relying on the data accumulation of 360 company for many years, 360 OS has a very large interception database, and harassing and fraudulent phone messages can be clearly marked, just like Zhou Hongyi’s statement at the Qikuo conference last year that "there is no strange number in the mobile phone equipped with 360 OS, either an acquaintance or a marked harassing message".

Property isolation system (screenshots cannot be taken in this mode)

    In response to users’ demands for property security, 360 OS has developed a property isolation system, and the asset-based APP running in this system can prevent the intrusion of malicious programs. At the same time, it also provides a financial APP that has been officially verified by 360 to ensure safety for users. In the property isolation system, the screenshot function of the mobile phone is invalid, which makes the information security more secure. Once there is a transaction problem, 360 Qiku will give priority to the payment (Qiku Property Safety Insurance), with a maximum annual payment of 120,000 yuan.

Privacy space ensures the safety of personal information to the greatest extent.

    360 Qiku is not the first encrypted APP like Privacy Space, but they have further improved it to make it more secure. The privacy icon built into 360 OS can be hidden. After hiding, users can enter the specified password on the dial or enter with their fingerprints. The author actually experienced that after a photo is pulled into the privacy space, the video "disappears" in the gallery. In fact, it is just "hidden" and users can restore it at any time.

Unique refrigeration room/heat source tracking

    Back to the system itself, we can see that there are not many pre-installed apps in the 360 OS itself, and some charged and free themes and fonts are built in. You can clean up the junk files in your mobile phone at any time by pre-installing, and there are a large number of applications for download in the app store (). The refrigerator that appeared in the previous generation products continues to be used. Users can throw some applications with low frequency into the refrigerator, and at the same time release the corresponding memory space to speed up the operation of the mobile phone (it can be thawed at any time). The heat source can track the temperature at any time, and the mobile phone will give an alarm when it exceeds the preset temperature.

Intelligent screen reduction/button function customization

    As a large-screen mobile phone, one-hand mode is naturally indispensable. 360 Qiku named it smart screen shrinking. The Home button can quickly slide to both sides to make the screen in a corner, which is more convenient for one-handed operation. The functions of the three touch buttons can be defined by the user, and somatosensory operations such as gesture wake-up are also indispensable.

Unique anti-addiction function controls the length of playing computer.

    Zhou Hongyi mentioned the N-hazards of staying up late playing mobile phones at the Qikuo conference last year. At that time, he hoped that 360OS could develop a function similar to the online game "anti-addiction" strategy, which was realized on the flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone Qikuo. Not only will you receive a reminder of 360 when you use your mobile phone for a long time, but 360 will also remind users to turn off their phones as early as possible to keep enough sleep before going to bed.

Back-pressing fingerprint recognition

    At present, all three mobile phones launched by 360 Qiku support fingerprint recognition. The flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone Qikuo is equipped with a push-type fingerprint identification module on the back. Besides the basic unlocking, its functions include application lock (fingerprint opens the designated application), taking photos, answering the phone and total recall. According to the author’s actual measurement, it takes about 6 times to press the module to successfully input a set of fingerprint information, and the unlocking speed is similar to the iPad mini 4 used by the author.

Tell you what the principle of dual rear lens is.

    The photo section to be introduced below is the biggest selling point of 360 Qikuo flagship geek edition-dual rear cameras, and their hardware specifications are shown in the following table.

Hardware specifications of two rear cameras

    Like the Qikuo flagship version released last year, the rear camera combination of the Qikuo flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone has not changed. IMX278 adopts RGBW four-color filter structure. Compared with the traditional RGBG (Bayer array) arrangement, RGBW arrangement replaces one of the traditional two green pixels with a White pixel, which enables CMOS to receive more external light, thus improving the light sensitivity in dim occasions, especially at night. Another fully transparent CMOS, named IMX MONO, improves the light input to a greater extent, and the effect produced by the combination of the two can be far more than 1+1=2.

    In the focusing mode, the flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone Qikuo adopts a unique dual-camera ranging method, which uses the triangle ranging principle between the dual cameras and the focusing object and is equipped with a leading closed-loop focusing motor. Compared with phase focusing, there is no need to sacrifice masking pixels, and the focusing speed can also be very fast.

    In terms of camera function, the flagship geek version of 360 mobile phone has not changed much compared with the products released last year. Professional mode supports manual adjustment of parameters such as ISO, EV, shutter time, etc. You can manually determine the focus area for the second time after taking photos, and the filter mode is similar to the interface of.

The imaging level is good, and the amount of light is sufficient.

    For the specific imaging level, please see the sample taken by the author below. In order to detect its imaging effect at night from multiple angles, four photos were taken at night. All proofs are uploaded in the original size without post-processing. Interested friends can click to view or the original picture.

    Generally speaking, the characteristics of dual rear cameras with sufficient light input are revealed, especially the night scenes and indoor scenes that ordinary intelligence is most afraid of, with moderate brightness and good glare control. Under macro shooting, the background blur is obvious, and it is natural to blur excessively. The outdoor scene has good tolerance and edge resolution, and the overall brightness of the picture is slightly higher, which can be solved by reducing the exposure compensation in manual mode.

Performance upstream/light battery life for two days

    Like Qikuo Flagship Edition, 360 Qikuo Flagship Geek Edition is equipped with Snapdragon 808 six-core processor, but the running memory is increased to 4GB, and the ROM is 128GB. Snapdragon 808 is a six-core 64-bit processor, with two Cortex-A57 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores, which run at 1.8GHz and 1.4GHz respectively. The GPU part is equipped with Adreno 418 graphics processor, which is slightly inferior to the flagship chipset Xiaolong 810 in performance.

    In addition, this product has a built-in battery with a typical value of 3,700 mAh. With the original charger and USB cable included in the package, it can realize flash charging (charging from 5% to 100% for about 70 minutes). In the two days that the author experienced, there was still residual power after two days under the medium and low frequency of use (only surfing the Internet, running minutes, listening to songs and taking photos, excluding games and videos).
