[PConline Review] "Back to the original starting point, remember your green face." HTC really is the first love of Android users, obviously like to be unforgettable, but let the reality poked black and blue. HTC U Ultra, as a sincere attempt to change, can't say for the rest of your life. When idealism was turned into half the sea of ​​flames, it was discovered that once the big boy finally grew up.
HTC U Ultra Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview
Before the official evaluation begins, we may wish to experience the HTC U Ultra by getting started.
Configuration brief
Every generation of HTC flagship handsets is no lack of selling points, HTC U Ultra most alternative is the main and auxiliary dual screen, respectively, is the main screen 5.7 inches 2560 × 1440 resolution, 2.05 inch 160 × 1040 resolution secondary screen. On the core configuration, Xiaolong 821 processor, 4GB+64/128GB and other specifications meet the high-end positioning, of which the first 128GB version adds sapphire protection glass to the screen.
Front: 16 million pixels, supports 150° panoramic selfie, UltraPixel and other modes, F/2.0 system HTC Sense (Android 7.0) battery capacity 3000mAh, supports QC3.0 fast charging network standard dual card dual standby full Netcom, support mobile, China Unicom, Telecommunication 4G+/4G/3G/2G Network Size Weight 162.41 × 79.79 × 7.99mm 170g Body color blue sky, contemplative black, white cloud, blooming powder features dual display, 3D water glass design, BoomSound dual speakers , USonic smart sonar headset price 64GB version 5088 yuan, 128GB version has not yet listed
In addition, HTC U Ultra uses a second-generation UltraPixel main camera, a single pixel size of 1.55μm, supports laser focusing and phase focus, and joined the optical image stabilization mechanism. Front 16 million-pixel camera, through Binning technology to achieve 4 million UltraPixel mode and a variety of other pixel switching.
Get rid of fears dominated by the Dragon 652
Since the 10-nanometer process, the Xiaolong 835, was listed late and is not part of the HTC U Ultra product plan, the Xiaolong 821 is still one of the top processors in the first half of the year. The HTC U Ultra uses the same "Life Edition" Snapdragon 821 processor as Google Pixel. The CPU frequency is reduced, and the core frequency is 2.15GHz and 2.0GHz, respectively.
In terms of theoretical limit performance, HTC U Ultra is quite satisfactory. Ann Bunny test is divided into 136,269, including a 3D score of 48,578, Xiao Long 821 drive 2K resolution main screen + secondary screen is more than enough. The UX I/O performance was found to be somewhat anomalous in the test. In addition, the random write speed of Androbench also fluctuates, and the reason for this is not exhausted.
HTC U Ultra is equipped with a 3000mAh battery and supports Qualcomm QC3.0 fast charging. The power adapter output specifications are 5V/2.5A, 9V/1.7A, and 12V/1.25A. The charge of 42% (about 1260mAh) is charged 30 minutes before the measurement, and it can be charged with 99% of power for 100 minutes. It takes about 105 minutes to complete one charge cycle.
We simulated the usual usage habits and set 50% screen brightness, 20% media volume, and connected to a Wi-Fi network during the 5-hour standard battery life test. HTC U Ultra's final remaining power is 35%, which ranks in the midstream of the life rankings and is basically in line with usage expectations.
In the analysis of various application scenarios, it can be found that the large-scale 3D games and continuous photographing have the highest power consumption and allow the processor to be in a high-load state. Fortunately, the heat control is excellent. In addition, BoomSound speakers are much louder than normal phones and consume slightly more power.
In general, the configuration of the HTC U Ultra is not significantly shorter than the battery capacity is slightly smaller, and there is basically no performance shortage during the life cycle.
It's even more amazing to fade out the metal shell
The HTC One series pioneered the all-metal body and brought this art of processing to the extreme. The new U series is a 3D water glass + metal frame of the attempt to join the first time the size of dual-screen display, the HTC design style into a new field.
Despite the addition of a 2.05-inch screen, the HTC U Ultra does not seem too bloated compared to other 5.7-inch phones because the screen share actually increases a lot. The area at the top of the screen is already very compact, and HTC retains the BoomSound dual-speaker design.
Because it is necessary to reserve the position of the front camera and the light/distance sensor, the horizontal width of the HTC U Ultra secondary screen is slightly smaller than the main screen and is right-aligned with the main screen. Fortunately, the black panel does not affect the integrity of the location.
At the bottom of the screen are the Home and touch buttons, some of which are located down. Home key integrated fingerprint identification module, need to be slotted on the glass panel, but remove the mechanical compression structure and metal ring, exquisite flow edge echoes with 2.5D glass.
The back shell is a 3D surface water glass, which is light-mixed and colored. The joint between metal and glass is treated with high pressure and high heat to make the touch naturally moist. Due to the engineering machine, the seam between the back shell and the middle frame of this HTC U Ultra is a bit big. The production version should not have this problem.
The back of the white glass is slightly hot under the refraction of light, and it is still more suitable for low-key users. In fact, we even recommend bright blue color farsighted, almost poisoning.
The back camera has a large degree of bulging, and the imaging effect is favored when weighing the advantages and disadvantages. HTC U Ultra cancels the 3.5mm headphone jack and outputs lossless sound through the bottom Tpye-C connector, making the metal frame a lot of simple. In addition, the USonic smart sonar headset with the Type-C interface is standard, and the sonar sensor is used to sense the structure of the cochlea, and the signal is fed back to the mobile phone.
At the top and bottom of the metal frame, above the front screen and under the glass back shell, the HTC U Ultra is equipped with four high-sensitivity microphones to form a 3D stereo surround sound system. With BoomSound dual speakers, you can meet most of the needs of the sound.
On the whole, HTC U Ultra has less sensation of being cool and bright, becoming more youthful, exquisite workmanship, revealing a sense of quality, and it is difficult to hide its flagship temperament.
The complete form of UltraPixel evolution
HTC has a keen sense of smell for the pre-judgment of future trends in mobile phone photography. For example, the M7 and M8 are each equipped with a large pixel sensor and dual cameras. However, HTC performed less well at the tactical level. It was too radical and paranoid for the "UltraPixel" large pixel, and it was fluctuating after being questioned by the market.
Now that the HTC U Ultra is returning to the Ultra Pixel, it is fully equipped with an F/1.8 aperture, 1.55μm large pixels, OIS optical image stabilization, and laser + phase focus. This is almost the most complete form of the UltraPixel.
The HTC U Ultra can capture 4096 x 3072 resolution pictures, significantly more than the 4056 x 3040 resolution supported by the IMX378. We tend to think that HTC U Ultra uses OmniVision's OV12890 sensor, and the main competitor is the Sony IMX378, which is also a metamorphic design in mobile CMOS.
The main parameters of this sensor are: 1/2.3 inch photosensitive element, 12 million pixels, unit pixel 1.55μm, support PDAF phase focus, package size is 10mm × 10mm, thickness is less than 6mm. HTC U Ultra also added OIS optical image stabilization components, further increasing the module volume, so it is difficult to avoid the main camera being raised.
I am very sorry that due to the recent rainy weather in Guangzhou, the proofs cannot fully reflect the imaging quality of HTC U Ultra. The following proofs represent three scenes of daytime outdoor, indoor light source, and night scene.
The cloudy weather of the first group of cloudy days is relatively low, and the HTC U Ultra uses the advantage of large pixels and a large aperture to push the ISO down to 200 or less. The brightness of the screen is close to that of the human eye, and there is almost no noise in the dark part. The overall resolution is good and the edge imaging is excellent.
Although the proofs are difficult to reflect, the optical quality of the HTC U Ultra cameras is outstanding, and the anti-glare capabilities of sapphire glass lenses are impressive. The color reproduction is slightly more beautiful than the naked eye, and the F/1.8 aperture blur effect is not bad.
The light lines of the second set of indoor scene proofs are complex, and the HTC U Ultra automatic metering method is relatively reliable in metering, and the probability of highlight overflow is small. The overall color tends to be lively and bright, and the details in the shadows are neat. In a few scenes, the white balance is slightly shifted. Thanks to the dual power of phase focus + laser focus, macro shooting objects have a very comfortable focusing experience.
The third set of outdoor night scenes did not give people the feeling of a “night-vision goggles,†and the HTC U Ultra lowered the sensitivity in exchange for a more pure picture. The shutter time was not less than 1/13 second. As for the vague feeling of smearing in the picture, it is the dampness of the rainy day. Now we know why the socks of the southern basin friends are not always dry at this time of year?
In extreme low-light scenes, ISO may break through 1000. At this time, the noise in the picture becomes a bit obvious. HTC U Ultra built-in professional camera mode, provides a wealth of adjustment options, up to 16 seconds long exposure, not only can reduce noise particle size, reduce the damage to the picture, but also straight out of RAW format photos.
Front camera 16 million pixels, with F/2.0 aperture, support for 150 ° wide-angle self-timer. With Binning technology, the HTC U Ultra can oversample a 16-megapixel photo (3496×4656) to a 4-megapixel (1744×2328) UltraPixel photo.
When the UltraPixel mode is turned on, the front camera of the HTC U Ultra can have a 4x sensitivity, dramatically brightening details such as dark hair, and is especially suitable for low-light photography.
Summary: The second-generation UltraPixel high-sensitivity camera is a luxurious configuration that not only has large pixels and a large aperture, but also incorporates optical image stabilization, phase/laser focusing and other comprehensive functions. Self-portrait beauty is also very much like the goddess.
HTC Sense System Meets Dual Screen
Although Google has implemented split-screen multitasking on Android 7.0, multithreading is not friendly on mobile screens. HTC U Ultra has two screens, the main and the secondary, in order to give users a better immersive experience. Did you feel familiar? This secondary screen and the Touch Bar are very similar and very interesting.
Since both screens are provided with separate backlights and touch devices, they are physically separated from each other, but are logically linked together by the operating system. Maybe you are puzzled. Is this a screen or two screens?
The answer is, "When you don't need it, you'll go and run. When you need it, it's there and you can't leave."
1 When the secondary screen is equivalent to the notification bar, important information and reminders can be displayed. Under the information screen, similar to the screen overview function (up to 60 seconds), it can also be individually awakened by double-clicking the fingertip, because only a small part of the backlight is lit and the theoretical power consumption control is close to the OLED screen.
This also means that there will be no pop-ups when playing games in full screen, and the automatically lit secondary screen will not affect your show operation.
2 When the secondary screen is always on, it is similar to the desktop widget. Sub-screen display content can be customized according to individual needs, such as schedule reminders, weather conditions, etc. Swipe left and right to switch, such as sticking a sticky note on the top of the phone.
3 Easily reduce the number of operating steps, vice screen avatar shortcut function entry. You can use the quick dialing contact phone on the secondary screen without entering the dialing interface; or you can switch music without going into the main APP interface.
4 If the most recent task happens to be a common task, the secondary screen changes the multi-task area in seconds. This is equivalent to "One Step" on the hardware, switching frequently used APPs at any time, eliminating the need to enter the task management interface and improving operational efficiency.
The HTC Sense system is based on Android 7.0 "light" customization, which integrates native system and HTC style in the past. Compared to other custom-made systems, Sense's changes are considered lightweight. The icons and colors have been redesigned to be clean and simple; the leftmost screen is the classic BlinkFeed message aggregation interface, which displays information for users in the form of waterfall flow.
The system's own APP follows the Android application design specification, abandoning complex and exaggerated elements, and the information displayed is simple and intuitive. It is worth mentioning that the Sense system does not have annoying information push and saves the user many annoyances.
Of course, there are many necessary security and rights management functions, such as application permissions, self-boot management, and junk removal. HTC U Ultra also joins the cloud power-saving feature, which automatically cleans up redundant applications in the background after the screen is locked.
In addition to the "classic layout theme", Sense system also provides an interesting game called "self-style layout theme", users can freely place APP icons and desktop accessories according to their preferences, people are quite miss.
All in all, the Sense system's addition of dual screens is still synonymous with simplicity, efficiency and elegance. This kind of icing on the original system can closely follow the upgrade. However, in the domestic application environment, the Sense system does not follow the flow of UI design, and it may appear to be somewhat different for some users.
to sum up
From opening the door to the Android world, to experiencing bustling and surging, HTC is back to its original starting point and “embraces the courage to miss.†We see a change in the HTC U Ultra, both familiar with the Ultra Pixel, BoomSound, also has a dual-screen display, double-sided glass and other changes, for this product paste personalized and mature labels.
Faced with more competition and choices, HTC still maintains a deep product accumulation, but its advantages are gradually shrinking. We look forward to seeing a deeper integration of the industry chain, bringing breakthrough innovations and even more extreme experiences. “When I meet again, I will hold you tightly.â€
