When it comes to a thousand yuan machine, many people's first reaction is the elderly machine or the student machine used by junior high school students and high school students, in addition to daily contact and query information, brush short videos, other configurations and functions are very chicken. However, in recent years, with the improvement of mobile phone performance and technological progress, the gap between thousand-yuan mobile phones and higher-priced flagship mobile phones has begun to be gradually narrowed. Although this gap has gradually narrowed, there are still major problems in terms of performance configuration and hardware such as screen chips.
Screen and feel
The mobile phone screen is the most intuitive feeling and the first thing that users feel about a mobile phone. People now use electronic products more and more frequently, life is inseparable from mobile phones and computers, eyes for a long time will hurt the eyes. So many flagship machines in order to attract users, increase selling points, increase costs, add DC dimming function and eye protection mode and other modes to the screen to protect the eyes, but this is only limited to the flagship machine. Due to the cost of the thousand yuan machine, manufacturers are unlikely to increase the cost to improve the screen.
Therefore, the screen of the thousand yuan machine hurts the eye, which is a well-known and particularly serious problem. The screen is generally a domestic screen, that is, the OLED screen is used, which is also relatively inferior.
The mobile phone screen also has a very important factor, resolution and refresh rate, high-end models of screen resolution and refresh rate are very high, usually 1080P, 2K/ 90Hz ~ 144Hz. Users will be particularly smooth to use, and the experience will be particularly good.
However, for the thousand-yuan machine, most of them are 360P+60Hz, and in browsing the news or daily use, they will find that the screen is not smooth, and even the frame is dropped.
In terms of feel, the feel of the top screen is needless to say, but also the top enjoyment. In terms of the back cover, expensive mobile phones, shells, quality creations, etc. are superior, and ceramic shells will be used. The ceramic shell has a noble texture, rounded color, low thermal conductivity, or insulation material, which will not affect the signal while the mechanical properties are good and the bending strength is high. And corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, fast heat dissipation, will not produce a large temperature difference.
Used in the hot summer, the thousand-dollar mobile phone will be the same as the hand warmer, or the 50 to 60 degree hand warmer!
In addition, in use, many users, especially female users, will leave nails, so that it is easy to scratch when touching the mobile phone, and the ceramic shell perfectly solves this problem. The ceramic shell is wear-resistant and has a large degree of scratch resistance.
Performance configuration (especially processors)
We look at the performance of a mobile phone is not good, first of all, to see the processor, some of the high-end latest processors, its purchase price is relatively high, such as the latest flagship processor of the Snapdragon system Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Snapdragon 888 plus, etc., as well as Tianji 9000 Kirin 9000 and so on.
The current thousand yuan machine, equipped with a little backward or has been eliminated by the high-end market, such as Snapdragon 865 and so on. Especially in recent years, Huawei's chip inventory is tight, and the chips on the Honor mobile phone are basically the old version of the Snapdragon processor, and a small number of them are the Kirin processors that have been eliminated. The processor is like our human brain, and a good brain is completely different from some "small brain" brains. Therefore, when the thousand-yuan machine and the high-end model are used, you will find that the performance of the thousand-yuan machine is relatively poor, the screen card, the heat, the upload and download speed are slow. It will also affect the reception of the signal network!
Not only that, when the flagship machine and the thousand yuan machine may also use 8GB + 256GB of RAM and ROM, but the thousand yuan machine can currently use nothing more than LPDDR3 RAM and EMMC5.0/5.1 ROM, the flagship mobile phone has used a better LPDDR5 and UFS3.1, open WeChat, the speed of news information will be much faster, not to mention the game? The reading speed can completely crush the thousand yuan machine.
Image aspect (camera)
In recent years, the user's demand for the configuration of smart phones has gradually stabilized, coupled with the rapid development of short videos, many users have higher and higher requirements in imaging and taking pictures. The gap above the image is what many mobile phone manufacturers want to distinguish, many flagship mobile phones are mainly cameras, with three cameras, four cameras, 100 million pixels and so on.
For example, Huawei Mate X 3, rear 50MP primary color lens + 40MP primary color lens + 13MP ultra-wide angle lens + 40MP telephoto lens quad camera, but also support 5x optical zoom + 100x digital zoom, in terms of photography has been close to professional cameras. There are also flagship camera lenses that cooperate with big brands such as Hasselblad and Zeiss.
And many thousand yuan machine lens, not only does not have an ultra-wide angle, the camera is generally 2, 5/6 million pixels, no macro function.
Although daily photo recording is no problem, the biggest problem is that in terms of imagery, the pixels are very poor, and wanting to take some detailed photos or videos will give people a feeling of old age photos/Republic of China DV.
Battery life
At present, the battery capacity of the thousand yuan machine has slowly reached about 4500mAh like the flagship machine, but it is far inferior to the flagship machine in terms of charging speed and battery life.
The flagship machine on the market, in the pursuit of sales volume, has added a selling point - flash charging. That is, now we go to buy high-end models will see the 120W fast charge. With a 120W flash charge mobile phone, even if it starts from 1%, the full charge is only 15-18 minutes. In this fast-paced life, flash charging has played a great role. When we went to bed the day before and forgot to charge, or when we temporarily had to go out and the phone was not enough, we put the phone on the charge for 5 minutes, and then went to pack up and pack things, and when we were ready to go out, we could find that the mobile phone had been charged with 40%-50% of the electricity, which was completely enough.
The newly released True Me GT Neo3 is the first 150W lightspeed second charge, from 1% to 100%, which takes less than 14 minutes.
The manufacturer equipped its flagship aircraft with unique technology, so that its power consumption and energy consumption are also greatly reduced, improving the endurance.
Now let's look back at the thousand-dollar machine. The first is the charging power speed, due to cost problems, the battery of the thousand yuan machine does not support fast charging, usually 20W30W power, compared to the current flagship machine about 18 minutes can be full, the thousand yuan machine may take two or three hours. Very uncomfortable with the fast pace of life now. Some users may say that equipping the thousand-dollar machine with a 120W fast charging head or sleeping at night to charge the mobile phone for one night can also solve these problems.
However, because the technology does not support, even if the thousand yuan machine is equipped with a 120W power mobile phone, the actual output power is only 30W, not only oversized, but also with a charging head that does not match the power, it is also very easy to cause the mobile phone to be hot and hot, and even because of the power problem, the mobile phone may explode.
If you let the mobile phone charge for one night, then in the long run, the damage to the mobile phone battery is huge and irreversible, and the charging head may also be on fire because of the long-term insertion and non-removal, some time ago there was a "charging head long-term unplugging and home fire" news.
Fingerprint unlock
In addition to Apple's mobile phone, fingerprint unlocking has become the standard for most mobile phones, even Apple, but also to the user "drew a big pie", in 2024 will give Apple a fingerprint under the screen. The reason why fingerprint unlocking is so well received by users is because it is really very convenient for users to use, no longer need to be as cumbersome as before to unlock the unlock pattern or enter the password, fingerprint unlock security is relatively improved a lot.
However, the technology will develop, and it is reported that ultrasonic fingerprints have also been successfully developed and will be commercialized. Ultrasonic fingerprint is more convenient than ordinary fingerprint unlocking now. First look at the thousand yuan machine, many thousand yuan machine is the back cover with fingerprints or side fingerprints. The rear cover fingerprint / side fingerprint occupies a place in the mobile phone, which greatly reduces the feel of the user holding the phone.
And this kind of fingerprint is easy to touch by mistake, not when placed in the pocket or bag are easy to touch, when you use the mobile phone to take it out, you will find that the mobile phone appears "please try again after ten minutes" words, because the number of false touches is too much. The fingerprint under the screen can make the metal sense before and after the mobile phone stronger, the screen ratio is higher, the recognition security is good, the authenticity of the finger can be recognized, the information leakage in the mobile phone can be effectively prevented, and it can also be used for mobile payment. The ultrasonic fingerprint is actually developed on the basis of the fingerprint under the screen.
The improvement of the user experience of ultrasonic fingerprints is reflected in the ability to scan without the possible dirt on the fingers, such as sweat, hand cream or condensation, thus providing a more stable and accurate authentication method. In addition, QTI's ultrasonic-based solution uses sound waves directly through the surface of the skin to identify three-dimensional details and unique fingerprint features that are not currently recognized by capacitive touchscreen fingerprint technology, including fingerprint ridges and sweat pores. This results in a fingerprint surface map that is rich in detail and difficult to imitate. Feel more secure. This is also the height that the thousand-yuan machine cannot reach.
summary
It is not difficult to see from the above that the difference between the flagship mobile phone and the thousand yuan machine is still very large. Xiaobian feels that the selling points that the thousand yuan machine does not have, or the lack of selling points, are the reasons why the former thousand yuan machine is a "big cake" in the mobile phone market has become the current thousand yuan machine market is getting more and more sluggish, and many people are reluctant to contact it again. According to the current trend, the user's requirements for mobile phones are getting higher and higher, if the thousand yuan machine does not increase the above selling points, it is really possible that one day in the future, the "thousand yuan machine" disappears in front of the public, only to become a handle in people's mouths.
