Aesthetic genes are strong
Old fans of Honor may remember that the concept model Honor Magic with a four-curved design in 2016 made a stunning appearance, and the fashionable shape is not outdated even in 2021. The Honor 60 Pro, which continues the Glory DNA, also carries a four-curved design, but has evolved to the third generation, and all aspects look more mature. The Honor 60 Pro screen has a curvature of 81° left and right, a 52° curved surface up and down, and the transition between the edge of the screen and the metal frame is quite smooth, without any hands.
▲The third generation of four-curved screens is more mature, and the curvature and feel are better.
Compared with the general curved screen, the screen of the Honor 60 Pro is more like a full of water droplets, especially the four corners of the screen are extremely tense and beautiful, and the visual effect is very shocking. The size of this screen is a 6.78-inch OLED screen, the resolution is 2652×1200, with DCI-P3 wide color gamut, 1.07 billion colors and other characteristics, can bring delicate display effects. What is rare is that this four-curved screen has a refresh rate of 120Hz, supports intelligent adjustment, and can take into account power saving and picture fluency. In addition, it also has a 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming capability, through the German Rheinland low blue light certification, long-term use is not prone to dry eyes.
The Honor Digital Series has always been quite experienced in body design, which is also vividly demonstrated on the Honor 60 Pro. Honor 60 Pro provides four colors this time, namely Mirage Starry Sky, Juliet, Ink Jade Green and Bright Black, of which Juliet and Mirage Starry Sky Color matching use diamond color process, which can show rich colors under different angles of light. The ink jade blue color scheme in our hands is more concise, looking more like a dazzling mirror at a glance, and the design of the double diaphragm also makes the back shell more layered.
▲ On the surface of the camera, the Honor 60 Pro is covered with a piece of 2.5D curved glass, and the edge transition is quite natural, while the Honor 60 Standard Edition is the design of the camera highlights.
Not only that, the rear lens module of the Honor 60 Pro is also more eye-catching, the design of the ring ring inherits from the previous generation of Honor models, the three cameras are centered symmetrical, and there is a small camera sandwiched between the upper and lower two large cameras. On the surface of the camera, the Honor 60 Pro is also covered with a piece of 2.5D curved glass, with rounded edges and no cut feel. In contrast, the Honor 60 Standard Edition features a camera projection design, which is also an easy-to-distinguish feature between the regular and Pro versions.
Performance measurement experience
Previously, we have reviewed the first Honor 50 series equipped with Snapdragon 778G, and we have been impressed by the excellent power consumption performance and good performance. Honor 60 Pro debuted with an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 778G - Snapdragon 778G Plus. Compared with the previous 778G, the Plus version can be regarded as its high-frequency version, the large core frequency in the CPU has been increased from 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz, the CPU performance and GPU performance have been improved, and the enhanced AI performance has also brought a better image and video shooting experience, providing a good underlying support for the air gesture function we experience next.
In the theoretical test, the Honor 60 Pro delivered a good answer sheet, scoring 546818 points in the "AntuTu Review", a single-core 816 in GeekBench 5, and a multi-core score of 2920. For comparison, the Honor 50 Pro we tested earlier scores were 507941, single-core 789 and multi-core 2869 points, respectively.
▲ Honor 60 Pro scored 546818 points in "AnTuTu Review", outperforming the Honor 50 Pro.
▲ Honor 60 Pro has a single-core 816 points and a multi-core 2920 points in the GeekBench 5.
Although there is not much improvement over the previous generation in the theoretical test, in terms of game actual testing, the Honor 60 Pro has surprised us. At present, the national mobile game "Glory of the King" has supported a 120Hz high frame rate mode, and most of the high-brush game experiences that can enjoy the high-brush game experience are high-end game phones such as Red Devil and Black Shark, and I did not expect that the Honor 60 Pro was also in the support list. The 120Hz high frame rate mode has higher requirements for mobile phones, so can the Honor 60 Pro equipped with Snapdragon 778G Plus pass the "Glory of Kings" test?
We entered the game with the highest quality and highest frame rate settings and played a 12-minute game. Honor 60 Pro can maintain an average game frame rate of 120.2fps, whether it is line development or "Gank" is quite smooth and smooth, and basically will not drop frames when playing in the later stage. In the face of the more demanding "Original God", we still set the picture effects to the highest, and also tested them in the night of Rizuki Harbor. In the 30-minute test, the average frame count reached 45.4fps, which was better than the previous Honor 50 Pro, which averaged 39.9fps. Due to the high load, it is inevitable that there will be more frequent frame rate fluctuations during the game running, and if you want to play more smoothly, slightly reducing the image quality will get a smoother game experience.
▲ Honor 60 Pro runs "Glory of Kings" supports up to 120fps, and the average frame rate can reach 120.2fps.
▲ The Honor 60 Pro runs "Original God" at the highest quality, with an average frame rate of 45.4fps.
We paid special attention to the heat dissipation of the Honor 60 Pro, running a round of 120 frames of high frame rate mode "Glory of kings" in an environment of 22 ° C at room temperature, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is only 36.6 ° C, and there is basically no feeling of heat to the touch. Even if it runs "Original God" for 30 minutes in high image quality, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is only 38.2 ° C, continuing the excellent heat dissipation performance of the Honor 50 Pro.
▲ Running "Original God" for 30 minutes under high image quality, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is only 38.2 ° C, continuing the excellent heat dissipation performance of the Honor 50 Pro.
For users who pay attention to endurance, the Honor 60 Pro is equipped with a 4800mAh large-capacity battery, which is 20% higher than the battery capacity of the previous generation. In addition, in terms of charging, honor 60 Pro also has a good performance, it has 66W single cell dual circuit intelligent super fast charging capability, can be charged in 18 minutes to 50%, 40 minutes or so to fill the battery.
Advanced image strength
The most eye-catching thing about the Honor 60 Pro this time is AI gesture recognition and air-to-air mirror replacement function. After learning through collaborative AI, the Honor 60 Pro can switch between different lenses for shooting according to the different gestures of the person being photographed. The Honor 60 Pro has five air gestures, namely record, flip, slide, clench and end, in the preview state of multi-lens video mode, just open the palm of the front lens to start recording. After starting recording, you will face the screen with your palms facing the screen, and when the screen displays the palm icon and swipe outward, you will be able to switch from the current shooting mode to dual-mirror mode. If the palm of the hand is facing the screen and it becomes a fist, the current shooting mode will become picture-in-picture mode. Similarly, if you flip your palm after the palm icon appears on the screen and turn the back of your hand toward the screen, the main camera switches to the front camera. Finally, when the shooting is over, just show an OK gesture to end the recording.
After some experience, we think that the AI gesture recognition of the Honor 60 Pro is still very useful, first of all, the recognition rate is higher, especially when the palm icon appears on the screen, it can basically accurately identify the gesture action. In terms of applicability, we think that the AI gesture function may be more suitable for mobile phones clipped to a tripod or selfie stick, of course, it is also a good idea to switch shots through different gestures during Vlog shooting.
▲In the multi-lens image mode, the Honor 60 Pro can realize the function of AI gesture recognition, and control the mobile phone to shoot and switch lenses through different gestures.
After talking so much interestingly, let's talk about the image hardware configuration of the Honor 60 Pro! The Front of the Honor 60 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel AI super-perception lens, which can shoot samples with better details with the advantages of high pixels, and with the AI gesture recognition we just mentioned, it can shoot satisfactory Vlog works. In terms of rear camera modules, honor 60 Pro adopts a three-camera solution, consisting of a 100 million pixel main camera, a 50 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens and a 2 million pixel depth of field lens. During the sunny day, you can turn on the high-pixel mode, and a photo of 20M can see the details even if it is magnified to 100%. In addition, its wide-angle lens also supports high-pixel mode, so you can shoot sharper wide-angle views with the Honor 60 Pro.
▲In a sunny environment, the Imaging Quality of the Honor 60 Pro is good, the white balance is accurate and the color reproduction is good.
▲ Even in the large light ratio environment, the Honor 60 Pro can still clearly record the bright and dark parts, and the tolerance is better.
For night shooting, the Honor 60 Pro's white balance and exposure control capabilities are outstanding, and accurate color and clear look and feel are the advantages of Honor 60 Pro night shooting. In addition, the glare suppression ability of the Honor 60 Pro is also excellent, even if the side of the light source can suppress the glare generated by the point light source, while avoiding the "ghost" problem, and turning on the night mode will further improve the brightness and detail of the picture.
▲In a low-light environment, the Honor 60 Pro can turn on the night mode to extend the exposure time for shooting to obtain a brighter photo.
Write at the end
The launch of the Honor 50 series has opened the Snapdragon 778G frenzy, a mid-range mobile platform that takes into account both performance and power consumption, attracting the love of many consumers. After six months of best-selling, the Honor 60 series came into being, as the successor of the 50 series, it has a beautiful and stylish four-curved appearance design, through the Snapdragon 778G Plus to bring better power performance, but also in the field of imaging to bring AI gesture control function, whether it is taking photos or recording Vlog is very practical and cool. For users who like the Honor brand and have recently wanted to update their phones, the Honor 60 Pro is obviously a good choice.
