Nubian Alpha evaluation: the pioneer of innovation in the era of flexible screen

IT 168 Evaluation With the high integration of the mobile phone industry, the mobile phone industry with serious homogenization is not as agile as before. I believe that many small partners feel that some brands have gradually lost the courage to innovate and reform. Innovation and reform just determine how long an industry can exist. Speaking of it, the homogenization of products in the mobile phone market is fatal to the whole industry. Just like this, many small partners, including the author, are expecting some brands to stand up and carry out innovation and reform to the end.

With the approaching of the commercialization of 5G, in 20 19, we began to see the brand regain the banner of innovation, especially the introduction of flexible screens, which made the shape of mobile phones no longer limited to founder. The product we are going to evaluate for you today is also a device equipped with a flexible screen. But compared with other flexible screen devices, its form jumped out of the traditional mobile phone. Yes, it is Nubian Alpha.

When it comes to Nubian Alpha, you have to say the Nubian brand. Compared with some domestic brands, Nubia always leads in innovation, and some innovations are recognized by the industry, such as professional photo mode. This time, Nubian Alpha showed its latest technology to the extreme. Having said that, what is its actual experience? Today, the author will take you in-depth understanding of Nubian α.

Nubian alpha design: 4.0 1 inch flexible screen/unique wrist design.

In terms of design, Nubian Alpha is very different from smart phones or traditional smart watches. It innovatively integrates their design concepts. Thanks to the technical characteristics of flexible screen, Nubian Alpha has a 4.0 1 inch AMOLED display screen under the large frame of wrist design, and the module thickness is only 0.64 mm, which is 1/2 of traditional LCD and 65438+ of curved screen.

In terms of material selection, Nubian Alpha uses lens-grade polycarbonate as the dial material, and the base is stamped with 304 stainless steel, which makes the in-mold steel sheet, screen and bracelet fit well. The fuselage is covered with medical grade silica gel and steel plate, which is more refined and restrained with excellent sandblasting technology.

In addition, Nubian Alpha's strap also adopts a simple disassembly design, which makes it easier for users to switch the size of the strap, and the double buckle design also makes it more suitable for the wrist and brings a more comfortable wearing experience.

In terms of button design, Nubian Alpha has two physical buttons, of which the top one is the power button and the bright screen/information screen button. The one below is the button to return to the voice of the calf. The experience of calf voice on Nubian Alpha will also be shown in a later article.

In addition, Nubian Alpha also has a number of sensors such as infrared, step detection and heart rate to further meet the needs of users.

On the front of the fuselage, Nubian Alpha is also equipped with a 5 megapixel camera. For some special scenes that need secret shooting, this camera is quite effective.

Generally speaking, through wrist design, Nubian Alpha shows the characteristics of flexible screen vividly, and the excellent metal sandblasting process also reveals a feeling of "future technology products".

Nubian alpha system experience: complete Android bottom/excellent experience

In terms of system, unlike other wrist mobile devices, Nubian Alpha adopts the α OS system, with the complete Android 7. 1 as the bottom layer of the system, and optimizes the new thing of flexible screen on the APP side. Thanks to the complete Android bottom layer, Nubian Alpha has more comprehensive functional support than traditional wearable devices, which also provides the most basic APP layer guarantee for Nubian Alpha to replace mobile phones.

Due to the long flexible screen, Nubian Alpha can incorporate more design elements than traditional wearable devices. From the whole system interface, Nubian Alpha's entire UI design is closer to the mobile phone. And according to different APP categories, Nubian Alpha divides it into five categories: main interface, basic tools, innovative tools, sports health and basic settings, and distinguishes them with different colors, which makes the actual use feel very efficient. In terms of interaction, you can switch between different pages by swiping left and right. The main interface also has shortcut functions such as shortcut status bar, signal status bar and recently opened applications, which further improves the use efficiency.

In terms of applications, Nubian Alpha still has no independent app store, but some applications have been adapted. For example, basic apps such as maps, Alipay and WeChat can run perfectly on Nubian Alpha. It should be noted that compared with traditional smart watches, some apps of Nubian Alpha have been adapted based on Android instead of wear, such as WeChat, so they will be more functional than wear apps.

In addition, in order to enable users to use Nubian Alpha more quickly, Nubia has also added a calf voice module that has been well received on Nubian mobile phones. We only need to press the buttons on the watch for a long time, call up the calf voice, check the weather, make phone calls, listen to music, send text messages, locate and other functions can be directly realized through voice commands.

In terms of some special functions, the author likes ticker function best. As long as you fill in the corresponding information on your mobile phone, Nubian Alpha can be displayed through ticker. I have to say that this function is very interesting in some cases. For example, in concerts, dating and other scenes, Nubian Alpha's ticker function can make you feel better instantly.

In terms of sports, Nubian Alpha has corresponding apps on both the watch and the mobile phone. On Nubian intelligent terminal app, we can view our body monitoring information in real time. With the help of independent GPS, we can abandon the mobile phone to realize accurate and smooth position tracking, and record detailed sports data statistics such as trajectory, steps, mileage and calories in real time to provide you with detailed sports reference.

And for different people, Nubian Alpha has different sports options such as outdoor walking, indoor running, swimming and free training. , so that users can choose different modes to detect body data according to their actual exercise mode.

Nubian α eSIM experience: a complete communication experience

In terms of communication, Nubian Alpha cooperated with China Unicom to bring the complete communication experience of mobile phones to Alpha through the latest eSIM. We only need to open it on our mobile phone, and we can have complete voice calls and short messages. Judging from the current news, the current eSIM technology has two functions: independence number and one card and two terminals. One card and two terminals are still in trial operation, and only a few cities can experience the number, while the independent number service can be handled normally.

After eSIM technology is enabled, we can directly experience complete voice calls and 4G network functions on Nubian Alpha. The whole opening process takes about 15 minutes. After successfully writing the card, Nubian Alpha can receive the signal icon and carry out normal network service. In terms of tariff, the current functional tariff of independent number eSIM is 10 yuan/month, and the tariff of No.1 dual terminal is also 10 yuan, but it has 18 yuan cashback 12 months.

In terms of dialing experience, Nubian Alpha adopts the traditional 9-grid dialing interface, and the overall experience is not much different from that of mobile phones. In terms of call volume, according to the author's test, the call clarity of Nubian Alpha is basically the same as that of Nubian X in my hand. In addition, Nubian Alpha has also deeply optimized the SMS interface, supporting voice input in addition to handwriting, which is further convenient for users.

On the whole, with the blessing of eSIM, Nubian Alpha has a complete call, 4G network service and SMS experience, which also makes it qualified to replace mobile phones.

Nubian Alpha Camera: 5 Megapixels/Multi-filter mode

On the front of the fuselage, Nubian Alpha also has a 5 million camera with an aperture of f/2.2, a wide angle of 82 and a pixel particle area of 1. 12? M, although the pixel is not high, it can easily meet some temporary shooting needs.

In addition, Nubian Alpha also has full touch photography function. In the camera interface, you can click on the screen to take pictures at will or press the screen to take pictures at will. Moreover, according to the needs of users, Nubian Alpha also has four characteristic filters, which support the sharing function of WeChat. It can be said that there is no problem with the basic experience.

As for the actual imaging effect, it looks good in light environment, but it is still a little noisy in dark environment. Sure, 5 million pixels. What kind of bike do you want?

Nubian alpha battery life: 500mAh battery/day is still necessary.

In terms of battery life, Nubian Alpha is equipped with a 500mAh battery, and the charging power is 5V2A( 10W). Specific battery life performance has also been tested:

It can be seen that when wifi, Bluetooth and Internet are all turned on, Nubian Alpha consumes 8% of power when it is on standby for 8 hours, 8% when it plays Bluetooth music for 60 minutes, 6% when it is on real-time walking monitoring for 60 minutes, 6% when it is on voice call for 20 minutes, and 30 minutes when it is on map navigation 1 1%. Generally speaking, if the bright screen is not used frequently, this battery will be fine for two days, but if it is used frequently, it will definitely not run away if it is charged once a day. When it is hot, as a wearable device, Nubian Alpha's overall endurance performance is enough to be in the first echelon.

Nubian α evaluation: full text summary

At the product level, Nubian Alpha perfectly shows the characteristics of flexible screen through its unique wrist design. With the blessing of eSIM, Nubian Alpha already has perfect functions such as 4G network and voice call, and its performance in terms of functions is also worthy of recognition. I believe that with the advent of the 5G Internet of Everything era, Nubian Alpha will have a bigger stage!

It is true that Nubian Alpha can already realize many functions of mobile phones, but I think it is too early to replace the position of mobile phones. It is undeniable that it can indeed replace the status of mobile phones to a certain extent, but Nubia still needs more efforts in terms of functions. In the long run, the release of Nubian Alpha provides a direction for the whole industry. Perhaps with the improvement of technology, the future mobile phone will really become the form of Nubian Alpha, and then looking back, Nubian Alpha may be the innovator and pioneer of such products.
