I thought it was the Z11 flagship, but it was Z11mini
Before the release, I always thought that the Nubian announcement would be the flagship product Z11. I didn't expect it to be a mid-to-low-end Z11mini that was priced at $1499; disappointment was still there, since Z9's borderlessness made me amazing. We are looking forward to Nubia’s next-generation flagship. The Nubian Z11mini, which was launched this time, featured the core concept of “Small World, Great Wonderâ€. It did not follow the market footsteps to produce a large-screen mobile phone, but instead independently walked along the small screen boutique road. Today, we will talk about this compact and compact product.
â–² nubia Z11mini The whole phone package is very simple, the mainstream of pure white color, the middle nubia LOGO is wrapped in a red circle, the logo design is very pleasing, through different angles can see the gradient effect, full of artistic sense. It can be seen that the previous nubia Z11mini has obvious changes in the packaging, compact and compact, and more in line with the positioning of nubia Z11mini.
â–² After opening the package, you can see Nubian's classic red tie, which is very coordinated; the small plastic strip at the home key makes it easy to take out the phone, and the details are carefully. The nubia Z11mini Sub-Charities Foundation stated that Nubian will purchase RMB 1 to deposit funds to support public charities. Perhaps a dollar is insignificant, but one year's mobile phone sales are substantial, and the number is much lower; Nubizia is better than other mobile phone manufacturers.
â–² nubia Z11mini front with a 5-inch 1080P full HD display, pixel density of 41PPI, 2.5D arc glass with a curved middle frame, making the finger across the edge of the phone more smoothly. 141.4 mm X 70 mm X 8 mm mobile phone size brings a comfortable feel, one-handed grip without pressure; today in the mobile phone manufacturers arrogant big screen, Nubia reversed its undoubtedly given the love of small screen consumption There is one more choice. The nubia Z11mini is available in black, white, and gold colors. The author's test machine this time is a white version. I personally prefer the black version. The ink-like texture of the screen is always seduce my heart.
▲ The design of the nubia Z11mini front panel made me obsessive-compulsive disorder helpless. This year's major manufacturers have played "big white", nubia Z11mini has not played, the front fill light and front camera are placed on the left side of the handset, and the distance sensor In the upper part of the handset, the white panel is more obvious. Fortunately, it will not be noticed in normal use. It is hoped that Nubia can use the “big white†sprouting design on the Z11.
Speaking of the small circle, the earliest known by the author was Meizu. After the Meizu gave up the small circle and used the m back key, the small circle was now spoken. I only knew Nubia. It can be said that the small red circle is the soul of the Nubian mobile phone.
The small red circle is equipped with a backlight, which shows the effect of a breathing light on charging and notification of messages. The red round light is beautiful. In addition, there are two hidden dots on the left and right sides of the red circle. Touch the backlight to realize the return menu and return button. The user can set the menu button and return button according to their own usage habits.
â–² nubia Z11mini back also uses a 2.5D arc surface design, first shot I thought it was a glass material, in fact, is similar to the glass of plastic material, if not the author read the parameters, you almost "cheat." The polishing process was done well, and the transition to the metal middle frame was natural and the author felt no difference in feel.
â–² may be to save the classic red circle design, so put fingerprint identification on the back, just happens to hold the natural position of the mobile phone's index finger, unlock naturally free.
â–² The entire fingerprint entry process takes 7~8 times. In addition to regular fingerprint unlocking, the Z11 mini also supports fingerprint capture, screenshots, and Alipay fingerprint payment (pro-test). Make your phone safer and more convenient.
â–² The mainstream dual Nano Sim card slot design, dual SIM card or a SIM card and a TF card; support blind insertion, support full Netcom 2.1 and VOLTE voice call technology, and support up to 200G large-capacity memory expansion.
â–² The volume key and power button are placed on the right side of the frame, increasing the CNC groove cutting process, the keys feel good, and the keyway feedback is soft and moderate.
â–² The top 3.5mm standard headphone jack and noise reduction MIC; The same symmetrical design at the bottom, the Type-C positive and negative sockets are centered, and the speaker and microphone are symmetrical on both sides.
â–² This 5-inch full HD screen, the official said to bring colorful, fine-quality display effect, the author started feeling good, showing outstanding results.
â–² It can be seen from the comparison with Charm Blue note3 that the screen of Z11mini is much better, the color is more vivid, the display is more three-dimensional, and the perception of each angle is very good.
Contrast the beauty in the picture, Z11mini looks like ruddy, very reiki. On the other hand, the charm blue note3 always feels like a trace of whiteness, as if it is pale, which is better to see at a glance.
In terms of appearance, we have seen Nubia's intentions on the details. The double 2.5D arc is accompanied by a curved middle box to bring a comfortable feel. The classic red circle is the soul.
Brand new changes, nubia UI 3.9
â–² I asked several cowboys that you are most dissatisfied with the Nubian mobile phone. The answer is the same: System! Yes, the system has always been the weakness of Nubia. This time nubia Z11mini is based on Android 5.1's nubia UI 3.9.6. The nubia UI version 3.9.6 has changed a lot compared to previous versions, especially users. interface. In the past, Nubian seems to have been keeping pace, and system optimization has not been very good. The nubia UI 3.9.6 version of the nubia Z11mini was fully upgraded and gradually moved closer to an easy-to-use UI.
â–² nubia UI still retains the flat icon design. The bold use of color combinations on color matching is more youthful and youthful, which is in line with the aesthetics of young people. The included APP uses two colors to match the different scenes to increase visual effects. The weather and clock have added animation effects, transition to nature, and they look lively and unified.
â–² A wealth of theme resources, all themes are free, this must be praised, like miui and flyme many topics are charged, I do not like. In nubia UI you can pick any one and there is always one for you.
â–² New edge gestures, through the edge sliding, repeated sliding, bilateral sliding to achieve a variety of convenient operation, the user can customize according to their own use habits, very good use. Friction and friction ~ You actually like this Nubia, so dirty! ! !
â–² Nubia UI does a good job in human experience. In the personality function, users can set shortcuts according to their own habits; like I want to see the news and do not want to miss with you, split-screen mode opens in minutes. The one-handed mode is not needed for the author. I have no pressure on one hand and it is very good for girls and smaller for girls.
â–² application avatar This feature is not an ordinary utility, the author has two WeChat, WeChat can not be under two, application avatar to help me solve this problem, I do not have to log in for a different account all day.
Super screenshots - Quick screenshots can be performed by pressing the power key + volume key; long press the power key + volume key / long press the fingerprint recognition module, you can start a super screenshot for free screenshots, long screenshots, video recording. I often use long shots and free screenshots. The era of one-page screenshots is gone forever. Want to see some paragraphs for others, but do not want her to see the entire page, free screenshots used on the party.
Nubia UI 3.9.6 The new changes from the inside out, there are a lot of human features, the management of the experience in detail, the author is the most simple way to introduce the next, and can not go into detail. To deepen your understanding, you have to experience it yourself.
Insufficient performance, Qualcomm Xiaolong 617
â–² Nubia Z11mini is equipped with Qualcomm Xiaolong eight-core 64-bit 617 processor, using 28nm process technology, GPU Adreno 405, support for all Netcom. The body's running memory is 3GB, and the body storage space is 64GB. I am more worried about whether the Xiaolong 617 processor can meet daily use?
â–²By looking at the running points of Ann Bunny and Master Lu, the nubia Z11mini performed normally. The Ann Bunny was only 39,695, and the Master Lu was 34,170.
â–² In Geekbench 3, single-core and multi-threading is not as good as 800 blocks of Charm Blue
â–²In the game test, I found that even in performance mode, nubia Z11mini only has 5 cores. In the face of such big games as NBA 2K15, there are obvious frequent Caton phenomena; in online game kings glory, Caton is also more obvious, multiplayer team battle When he returned to the blood, there was a noticeable pause, and the picture frame rate dropped sharply. This is something I can't stand.
▲ After half an hour of play, the maximum temperature appears in the upper half of the fuselage, 40.8°C, and the minimum temperature is near the Home button, around 36°C. The grip will be slightly hot. It is recommended not to answer the phone at this time.
Overall, the Xiaolong 617 processor meets daily usage and it's okay. It doesn't play big games or it's smooth. If you're a game party, then nubia Z11mini is not your choice.
Life in general, charging speed is slow
â–² nubia Z11mini Wild Ride Vehicle consumes 27% of electricity, 17% of video, 13% of web browsing, 6% of music for 1 hour, 6% of calls for 30 minutes, and 8% of standby 9 hours; total power consumption is 77%, and the remaining 23% Considering that the nubia Z11mini battery has only 2800mAh, this result is acceptable, that is, one day, the mobile power can not run.
â–² 13% start charging, charge to 95% use 2 hours 05 minutes, charge 82% of the electricity, according to this speed estimate, 0~100 about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The nubia Z11mini does not support fast charging, which is not slow in terms of normal charging speed.
Whether it is life, or charging speed, Z11mini has no advantage.
Flagship parameters, outstanding photos
â–² nubia Z11mini has a 16 megapixel camera hidden behind it. It uses the same Sony IMX298 sensor as Huawei mate8 and Xiaomi 5, f2.0 large aperture, 6-piece drive motor and PDAF hybrid rapid phase focus, bringing extraordinary photography. Experience. The Z11 mini's camera is equipped with DTI pixel isolation technology to enhance photo purity with professional and excellent noise reduction capabilities. The front is an 8-megapixel camera with a front fill light that gives the user a better self-portrait experience. The Nubian Z11mini's performance has been the main feature of the past years.
â–² The new NeoVision 5.8 camera system, dubbed "Video Black Technology," has a family of multiple exposures, highlights, electronic apertures, slow gates, star tracks, short videos, motion trajectories, DNG, clones, and more. Play sex.
â–²During the daytime proofs, you can see whether or not the details of the restoration or light treatment, nubia Z11mini have demonstrated their strength, full of colorful colors, the screen is more transparent, a clear sense of hierarchy, a good restore of the scene. 
â–² The restoration of color in the indoor proofs is very good and the screen brightness is high.
â–² The macro performance is general, and the situation of non-focusing is often seen, which greatly affects the filming rate.
â–² Night imaging touches my expectations, noise control is very good, the screen purity is high. The treatment of glare made me more satisfied.
â–² The first time you took a star trail, it wasn't very nice to see; Guangzhou rarely saw the stars. This was taken at 4am in the morning. The author took more than a minute to photograph it.
The camera performance is excellent. Whether it is day or night, the nubia Z11mini has reached the required level. A slight disadvantage is that the macro is slightly worse. It can be seen that Nubian’s accumulation of photographs for many years has been performed on the Z11 mini, and the same price point can be said to have no match. The camera family has increased the camera's playability and made the nubia Z11mini's camera even better.
to sum up
In the era of the big screen, Nubia did not follow the great stream, but independently created his own "small world, wonderful," and highly individualized. Excellent appearance and comfortable feel, unique camera technology makes nubia Z11mini unbeatable in the same price, has been criticized the system has also changed, a slight lack of performance, but consider its price and positioning acceptable. Nubian has always been the neglected character and people still cannot see your hidden strength. Which type of person is this phone suitable for? Focus on taking pictures, appearance and feel, like small screens do not play big games.
