After a very long warm-up period, the True Self GT2 series was finally officially released on January 4. In addition to the master model designed in cooperation with Naoto Fukasawa, the new mobile phone launched this time is also very eye-catching with the co-branded version of the true self GT Neo2 "Dragon Ball".
This time, we also got the True Self GT2 Pro Naoto Fukasawa Master Edition early, and its bio-based material back cover is an important selling point of this one, and even used a long space to talk about the application of these new material technologies in the previous warm-up live conference.
appearance
The design of the packaging box is basically the same as the previous real phone, but this time the master design version of the packaging box also added a texture similar to the texture on the back cover of the mobile phone, while the packaging plastic accounted for 0.3%, and the outer box also adopted a more environmentally friendly soybean ink spray painting, which shows that this environmental protection design is still working hard.
In addition to the mobile phone body, card pin, and description warranty card, the 65W charging head and data cable are still gifted. And the delivery of the mobile phone is not a water set, but a thin silicone mobile phone case. This kind of mobile phone case still adds a lot of texture compared to the water set, and the accessories are careful, which can also enhance the user's sense of happiness after opening the box and easier to create a high-end feeling of the product.
The biggest selling point of the design of the TRUE SELF GT20 Pro Master Edition is Naoto Fukasawa's design and the use of bio-based materials, which are indeed a very suitable choice for environmental protection themes.
The back cover material is mainly extracted from recycled raw materials such as pulp, and the bio-based material made has also obtained ISCC International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. In the bio-based material, the laser laser engraving process is also used to create a texture and texture of "paper" products.
This does provide a good natural touch and reduce the weight of the phone itself, after all, bio-based materials are much lighter than glass and metal. However, it should be noted that the production of bio-based materials is not an easy task, and there are still higher technical difficulties and production costs than the general extraction of plastics from oil.
The 21st century is regarded as the "century of plastics", mainly because human society has used a large number of plastic products every day, and "white pollution" affects the global environment. A large number of discarded plastic bags, disposable tableware and other plastic products have been damaged due to the inability to degrade naturally.
The biggest advantage of bio-based materials is that they can be degraded by microorganisms in the natural environment, and it is more convenient to be recycled, decomposed and reused. The ideal is good, but at present, the production cost and yield capacity of bio-based materials do not prevail, and it can only be said that it is hoped that it will be more vigorously developed with the development of science and technology in the future. For the time being, the bio-based material is still in a preemptive state, of course, it is also a good thing that someone takes the lead.
The bio-based material of the true self GT2 Pro we cut out in the previous invitation letter to see, itself has a good toughness and sturdiness, as a mobile phone back cover of course no problem.
The master design model still has Naoto Fukasawa's signature on it, but because the back cover is made of paper grain, it is not a completely flat design, so the signature part needs to be cut out of an extra piece to print. The camera module adopts the more common staggered three-camera layout with dual flash.
The main camera is the Sony IMX766 that everyone is familiar with, which supports OIS and EIS dual stabilization. The other is the same 50-megapixel Samsung JN1, but this time the GT2 Pro also uses a super wide angle of 150 degrees, which is much higher than the common 120 degree wide angle. Finally, there is a microscope head, which supports up to 40X magnification, according to the official publicity, it is the first to support the skin texture detection function, but this needs a follow-up OTA update, and the engineering machine version we experienced does not have this function.
The front is a 6.7-inch 2K resolution second-generation LTPO AMOLED direct screen, 525PPI, the highest local excitation peak brightness is 1400 nits, 100% P3 color gamut and 10bit display. Combined with the COP package and ultra-narrow bezel, the front looks great for visual impact. This screen is also a good screen that has received a DisplayMate A+ rating, with a good visual experience in terms of screen appearance, transparency and color performance, and the important thing is that it also supports DC dimming (which can be found in developer mode).
And this second-generation LTPO screen, the real me official said that it can achieve accurate matching of the whole scene, automatically match the best refresh rate in different applications and different use scenarios, and the screen can be reduced to a minimum of 1Hz when the screen is still. At the same time, the change of the 1-120Hz rising and falling frequency band is controlled at 75ms, and the change of the screen refresh rate is almost an insensible experience.
Here the use of PerfDog on Weibo to do real-time frame rate monitoring, indeed when sliding the screen can maintain a very smooth 120 frames, when the screen slides to the still scene, the screen record is 0 frames, that is, no refresh. When you touch the screen again, it immediately spikes back to 120 frames. If every app can achieve such an adaptive frame rate, it can indeed be more power-efficient.
In addition, there is a point that people who are more interested in the mute of 10,000 years, the real me GT2 Pro and AAC Technology, the industry debuted an SLA0815 high-end X-axis linear motor, the motor volume is 40% larger than the previous generation, and the vibration energy is increased by 80%. From the actual typing and information vibration prompt feeling, the power of the vibration is very obvious and crisp, there is no superfluous and loose vibration feeling, the experience is good.
performance
After all, it is one of the first flagship products equipped with a new generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, or a simple running performance test, probably to know how far this new flagship SoC can play in the real self.
First of all, everyone is familiar with AnTutu, the latest version of the test has been several rounds, the optimal running score is 1010008 points, just broke the million point mark. In fact, most of the real running scores of mobile phones may not be able to reach the official laboratory running score data, and this running score is also actually reflected in the real level of mass production of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile phones.
Next is GeekBench, the best score, the single core score is 1263 points, multi-core is 3533 points, this running score data is also normal in the production model equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8.
Then there's the 3DMark test for GPU performance, wild life downrun 9916, already the first echelon of the current mobile platform, but also beyond the Apple iPhone 13 Pro GPU score.
Of course, no matter how high the running score is, it still has to be pulled into the game, and there is no "Glory of the King" 120-frame test here, or directly on the "Original God" highest quality and 60-frame mode. Connect to WiFi and turn on GT mode for gaming, I have to say that this GT mode is indeed a very strong existence. If GT mode is not turned on, even if performance mode is turned on, the game is limited to 30 frames in order to control power consumption and heat generation.
However, when GT mode is turned on, all performance limitations are released, and the original god game frame rate directly spikes to 60 frames. You can see the actual game situation from PerfDog's frame rate monitoring, where the part of the card frame is loaded into the scene or transmitted elsewhere, and it is still more than 50 frames when the four characters are fighting fiercely, which is very smooth. The focus is on half an hour of gameplay, the GPU basically keeps high-frequency operation, most of the time it is kept at about 60 frames, the game experience is very good.
However, this extreme performance release will of course bring extreme heat generation and power consumption. Ten minutes after turning on the GT mode, the phone heat is already very obvious, half an hour later through the infrared temperature gun to see its main position of heat in the upper right SoC part of the phone, has reached 45 degrees Celsius. From the infrared thermal imaging, it can be seen that its heat dissipation effect is also uniform, but the metal frame above the phone and the left and right sides also bear a lot of thermal conductivity.
If you want a lively gaming experience, it is of course recommended to turn on the super-powerful GT mode. However, it is also recommended to use it with a cooling fan, or wear a protective case to reduce the heat directly exposed to the palm of the hand.
image
About the specific models and parameters of these three cameras are no longer introduced one by one, the beginning of the article has been mentioned, here is a brief introduction to the shooting experience of the three cameras and some image small functions.
IMX766 This main camera is already an old friend, in 2021, many high-end positioning products have chosen to use this CMOS as the main camera, and the hard quality is naturally online. Under the blessing of AI photography and the new generation of Snapdragon 8, the overall picture performance is very transparent, and the color performance is also very good. The imaging style is bright and eye-catching, but at the same time it also has a good balance of exposure, contrast, tolerance and vividness, giving people a very deep high-quality performance at first glance.
In terms of night scenes, the current system version is too easy to trigger night mode, as long as the light is slightly dimmed, it will open night mode. In fact, shooting in normal mode, maintaining a brighter imaging style, there will be better performance in terms of appearance and perception. Therefore, when you shoot night scenes, you can turn off AI shooting as appropriate (it is too easy to turn on AI to automatically trigger night scenes).
In the night scene shot in normal mode, the picture is bright, the color is sufficient, the detail capture is not bad, the noise suppression performance is relatively smooth, and there will be no negative optimization of color faults or inexplicable color noise.
In the night mode, it is natural to take into account the performance of lighting overexposure and shadow details, and the overall HDR atmosphere is relatively strong, resulting in the picture looking a little dirty, this part can still be optimized.
In addition, the more unique is the world's first 150-degree super wide-angle camera, through the following three wide-angle (main camera), ultra-wide angle and 150-degree super wide-angle comparison can see the difference between the lens angle of view in these three modes. The 150-degree super wide angle needs to be selected separately within the function to be invoked, and the daily ultra wide angle is the angle of view after cropping and correcting the edge distortion.
When the 150-degree super wide angle is turned on, the edge distortion and the viewing angle are completely released, which can get a very large viewing angle range, but the edge distortion can also be very serious, for example, the building on the left side is directly bent. And opening this 150-degree super wide angle also requires more attention to the posture of holding the phone, fingers often inadvertently enter the lens, after all, the viewing angle is indeed too big.
Another interesting thing is this fisheye lens, which can achieve the effect of high edge distortion through cropping, and when shooting portraits, it can be used to create more impactful photos in some scenes.
And the last microscope head should be no stranger to everyone, it can almost stick to the surface of the object for macro shooting. When this function is turned on, the LED fill lights on both sides will illuminate, which can be seen in the sample performance.
Battery life
In terms of charging, it is still the classic 65W wired fast charging, and this generation still does not support wireless charging. The official claim is that it can be charged from 0% to full power in 33 minutes, and I believe that you should be very assured of the 65W charging speed of the green plant, which will not continue to test.
Or test this 5000 mAh large battery life is more practical, room temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius, connected to WiFi, brightness of about 40%. Watching one-hour 1080P online video also consumes only 6% of power, and browsing one-hour Weibo (mainly graphic) consumes 8%. One hour high quality 120 frames "Glory of the King" consumes 24% of power, and the highest quality of half an hour is 60 frames "Original God" consumes 21%. It is worth noting that GT2 Pro must be turned on gt mode after the Original God and the Glory of the King can run at full frame, so the power consumption is more obvious.
But if you just look at the daily power consumption, including video, social applications, etc., the basic power consumption is satisfactory, relatively speaking, the 5000 mAh large battery and the second generation LTPO do bring better battery life.
And even if you plug in a 5000 mAh battery, the True Self GT2 Pro Master Edition is only 8.18mm thick and the weight is controlled at 189 grams (the glass version is 199 grams). Therefore, it has an excellent use and holding feel, and the pressure on the wrist will not be too much after playing for a long time.
summary
True Self GT2 Pro still maintains the high-performance performance of the flagship positioning, and the GT mode is very crazy, bringing the ultimate gaming experience. The shell application of bio-based materials is also a further exploration of mobile phone materials, which has certain novelty and foresight, and if the cost of bio-based production can be further compressed later, it is also a good shell material choice.
In view of the positioning of "high-end flagship products for young people", the screen also uses Samsung's latest 2K 120Hz second-generation LTPO screen, and also makes its own flexible screen into a straight screen design, making it a very rare high-end direct screen flagship product in today's new curved screen flagship mobile phones.
The main camera with the IMX766 has been polished to debut a 50-megapixel 150-degree super wide-angle and a microscope head up to 40X. In terms of images, daily use can still be satisfied, but the lack of telephoto is indeed a bit regrettable. After all, in terms of flagship positioning, the balance of all aspects of the configuration is also very important.
Combined with the whole experience, the actual product power of the real GT2 Pro is still strong enough, plus its starting price of 3699 yuan, the sincerity is indeed in place.
