The smartphone market is already a red sea, but this does not mean that there is no opportunity, market competition in the final analysis also depends on product experience and technical strength.
On May 10, Dingqiao launched the new smartphone TD Tech M40, officially entering the consumer terminal market.
Speaking of Dingqiao, many people may feel strange. In fact, since the formal establishment of Dingqiao in 2005, it has always adhered to the independent development of various businesses, deeply cultivated the research and development and upgrading of wireless communication technology and terminal products, and relied on mature market and sales experience, reliable and perfect production delivery and after-sales service system to meet the diversified needs of users in different fields.
This time, Dingqiao launched a new 5G mobile phone TD Tech M40 for the consumer terminal market, which has super-perceptual image shooting capabilities, iconic star ring aesthetic design, fast charging experience, and smooth 5G performance, which can bring more exciting, more convenient and richer comprehensive machine experience for users who pursue quality life and efficient work.
Now, this TD Tech M40 has come to fast technology, let's experience it together.
Second, the appearance: thin and light body The iconic star ring design is very stylish
The TD Tech M40 features a 68° curved screen design on the front, an OLED screen, and a 13 million ultra-wide-angle camera with a hole punched in the upper left corner.
The TD Tech M40 we received was bright black, with a deep black and mirror effect that gave us a unique sense of mystery.
The iconic rear star ring design consists of a 64-megapixel ultra-perceptual wide-angle lens + a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens + an 8-megapixel telephoto lens composed of a rear-facing triple-camera scheme, and the laser focus sensor in the lower left corner.
Under the fuselage is the TD Tech brand LOGO, simple and generous.
The power key and volume plus and minus keys are on the right side of the fuselage. A touch of red in the power button adds a stylish touch to the TD Tech M40.
The entire fuselage is also relatively thin, only 8.8mm thick and light to 188g.

Third, the photo experience: excellent telephoto resolution Macro night scene can be taken
TD Tech M40 equipped with a new super-perception image system, consisting of a 64-megapixel main camera + 16mp ultra-wide-angle camera + 8-megapixel telephoto camera to form a three-camera rear-facing solution, as well as the addition of laser focus sensor, making it easier to capture.
Among them, 16 million pixels can take into account the 2.5mm super macro, and the 8 million telephoto lens supports 3x optical zoom, 5x hybrid zoom, and 30x digital zoom, making it easy to capture both near and far.
Ultra wide angle 0.6x
Main camera 1x
Telephoto 5x
The 64MP main camera and 16MP ultra-wide-angle lens maintain a more consistent style in terms of white balance.
After the 3-10x digital zoom of the 8-megapixel telephoto lens, the color performance is still consistent with the main camera, and the overall picture detail is very well preserved.
Macro lens
TD Tech M40 ultra-wide angle lens also supports 2.5mm super macro shooting function, in macro mode, can highlight the texture details of petals and flower buds, the resolution performance is a relatively excellent level, the color is also very pleasing to the eye, highlighting the subject at the same time with a certain background bokeh effect.
Under the night sample (without turning on the night mode), it is the same as the daytime shooting sample, the light and dark detail control is excellent, there is not much noise, and the picture is very pure.
From the above experience, TD Tech M40 camera can meet the needs of full-scene photography, for the average consumer to use daily out of the use is completely enough, regardless of the long-range close-up, whether day or night, can be easily done.
Fourth, game performance: stable performance can play mainstream online games
The TD Tech M40 combines performance with low power consumption, and the performance is very balanced to meet the daily use of users.
Now, let's take a look at the performance of the game.
——QQ Flying Car
In "QQ Flying Car", we changed the picture quality setting of the game to ultra-high, the resolution to ultra-clear, the in-game frame rate and the external frame rate to high, and the special effects level to high.
In the fast matching multiplayer competition, the overall frame rate of "QQ Flying Car" can be maintained at about 60 frames, which is very easy to operate in the game.
- Glory of Kings
In Glory of Kings, we changed the frame rate to high, the resolution to ultra-high, and the total picture quality defaulted to HD.
During the fast battle, the game can be maintained at around 61 frames, the fluctuations are not large, and the performance is very stable.
- Ace Warrior
In Ace Warrior, we changed the game screen quality and frame count for competitive battlefields and ace battlefields to the maximum, allowing for automatic reduction of image quality and frame rate shutdown.
In a quick single game, excluding the frame rate fluctuations caused by the settlement animation and death, Ace Warrior as a whole can keep running at 60 frames, with an average frame count of 59 frames.
V. Battery life and 5G: High load nearly 8 hours, latency is quite excellent
- Battery life performance
TD Tech M40 is equipped with a 4200 mAh battery, and also provides 40W wired and wireless dual super fast charging, while supporting wireless reverse charging, which can provide emergency charging for wireless headphones, watches, bracelets and other devices. This time, we used a professional endurance test tool - a battery dog produced by Fast Technology for testing.
In terms of test items, we selected the limit battery life test, checked all test items including CPU high voltage, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, picture browsing, video playback, and web browsing, simulated real use scenarios, maximized the restoration of real load, and infinitely close to the real power consumption.
We changed the screen brightness to 50% manually, turned on the smart resolution, and went from 100% measurement to shutdown, which took a total of 7 hours and 42 minutes. According to the general user habits, intermittent use for one day is not a problem.
- 5G performance
TD Tech M40 supports 5G + 5G dual card standby, but also equipped with intelligent network fusion acceleration, smart dual card and other functions, the main card data card can also be intelligently switched to the secondary card, which can make online video playback smoother and game operation more stable.
The advantages of 5G, compared with 4G, are naturally faster download speeds and video loading seconds, bringing users a better experience.
The 5G signal in the area where the author lives is not full, and the current use is still a 4G package, but in the test, TD Tech M40 can still achieve a download speed of more than 100Mbps, and the Ping speed is only 7 milliseconds, which is basically equivalent to the level of home wired broadband.
If the user is in the area with excellent 5G signal, it is believed that the 5G download speed will further rise.

------------------
In the mobile phone interaction area, TD Tech M40 also supports the smart window function, which can help users use mobile phones more efficiently.
There are two ways to call the smart sub-window, one is through the multi-task management interface, click the small window icon at the top, and the other is through the side sliding, calling out the side Dock bar, you can change the App into a small window style.
For the size of the small window, the user can also flexibly adjust, the size can be changed freely.
For example, in daily life, work, encountering inspiration that needs to be recorded immediately, or having a new schedule, you can call out the memo at any time without leaving the current task interface.
--AI video subtitle translation
The TD Tech M40 is equipped with AI video subtitle translation, which supports face-to-face voice translation, browser and email global translation, as well as full-screen translation of taking photos and pressing. Whether it's a foreign language blockbuster or a live event, meet your multilingual translation needs anytime, anywhere.
Speech recognition system development so far, in the recognition accuracy has reached a fairly high point, the function is to identify the sound source, or use the microphone to record the external sound source, the speech into text. The TD Tech M40 can currently support speech recognition Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, etc., and translates English, Japan and Korea into Chinese.
The above figure is the identification of the original English text, and the following figure is the effect in the English translation.
This is a very practical function, such as when attending a pure English conference, you can use this function to translate the content narrated by each participant, or foreign language blockbusters and video materials without subtitles, and even face-to-face communication can be translated in real time.
It should be noted that the more formal the pronunciation and the appropriate speed of speech, the higher the accuracy of the recognition rate.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in terms of security, Dingqiao TD Tech M40 has a perfect privacy protection program that supports multiple privacy rights protection.
For example, application permissions, when the application requests location information, microphone and camera permissions, the user can give a single authorization; sensitive permissions, when calling location information, microphone and camera, the system will give a clear reminder, unreasonable can be turned off at any time.
For example, when sharing photos, sensitive information such as shooting time and location can be removed.
