Samsung s8 first evaluation: what surprises the new generation flagship machine

Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock early: Samsung's new Galaxy S series S8 seems to be particularly cared for by model manufacturers this year, for users, it is a special expectation.

After experiencing this product at the press conference, Sina Digital brought you this S8 to get started. It should be noted that all the details of this article are based on the international version of the Galaxy S8, which may differ from the domestic version of the product in some hardware details or parameters.

Although it was sold on Taobao before the official release, it was a special "excellent" for a mobile phone product. But after reading the exposure map for so long, let's take a look at the full set of maps.

Infinity Display

The appearance of the S8 is no longer a secret. Even Samsung itself, the invitation to the conference has already demonstrated the most obvious hardware features of the phone: a curved screen with a narrow upper and lower border.

The English name for this fast screen is "Dream Infinity Display". The word "endless" is used to describe its characteristics. A Samsung employee called this "revolutionary progress". In addition to its eye-catching appearance, it broke through a previous technical obstacle. : When people want a big screen, they must bring an oversized phone?

With the previous S7 Edge, you will see this difference, the screen is bigger, but the body is smaller, which is the credit for narrowing the upper and lower borders.

The S8 series is still a big one, a 5.8-inch (or 5.6) S8 phone, and a 6.2 (or 6.1)-inch S8+. The reason why the screen size is "or" is because of the screen edge of the phone. It is a rounded corner, which will vary depending on the diagonal measurement of the square screen.

Sensory, Samsung S8 and S8 Plus screens are very high

Sensory, Samsung S8 and S8 Plus screens account for a high sense of sense, Samsung S8 and S8 Plus screens are very high

Another parameter that may make a difference is its screen ratio. Samsung is 84% ​​at the press conference. It is not so high because I have seen a lot of mobile phone screens with a wider range of upper and lower parts. It has reached more than 90%. This is caused by different calculation methods. Many mobile phone manufacturers calculate the screen ratio by directly dividing the front area of ​​the display with the original area of ​​the display, while the side of the S8 is curved, and the actual display area is used to calculate the contrast of the flat screen. The algorithm will suffer a little.

When the processor and the camera touch the ceiling and can no longer trigger the impulse of the general user, the borderless screen becomes a new selling point.

Samsung's curved screen was first used on its own GALAXY Note Edge mobile phone. It was intended to use this curved screen as a screen, but after several years of development, the curved screen played a role in the borderless boom. Unexpectedly, this way of narrowing the left and right borders is much more effective than Sharp's ultra-narrow bezel or Nubian's optical refraction barrier method. Moreover, there are not many manufacturers that can manufacture flexible screens at present. When the product display effect and capacity of LG Display and other factories are not catching up, Samsung can lead for a period of time by virtue of its own industrial chain.

Of course, this extraordinary visual effect comes at a price. The curved screen and the ultra-narrow bezel mean that it is easier to damage in the fall, but if you wear a protective cover, the visual sense of the pick will be much worse, for those who fall easily. For mobile phone users, this is a tangled multiple choice question.

Borderless effect is very prominent

S8 has no border effect

Ignore the parameters, just say intuitive feeling, S8's screen material is still Amoled, reaching 2K level, the borderless effect is very prominent, and it is closer to a piece of glass in the hand, which is the result of Samsung's attempt since S6 Edge. Put the S8 series phone together with the S7 edge and you will see the following effects:

Display effect in the case of movies

The display ratio of this screen is 18.5:9, which is very strange compared to the industry's common 16:9. Samsung explained that the current movie is 21:9, use S8 to watch this wide-format film on the black and white side. A lot of reduction; another use is that this long and narrow screen can achieve split-screen multi-tasking, such as the first half of a short video sent by a friend, the second half directly to him to reply to comments.

If you put S8 into these usage scenarios, it seems to make sense, but we are worried about the existing game compatibility issues, because the live experience time is relatively short, there is no answer.

S series with a big change in appearance

As in the rumor, in order to make the screen ratio bigger, Samsung removed the front home button, and the system returned to the front three virtual buttons. The fingerprint of the S series was first placed on the back of the camera. .

This unaccustomedness is not a big problem, and will soon be replaced by the pleasure of high screen ratio; the unfamiliar is the unlocking method. In order to be harmonious, the fingerprint recognition device is placed on the right side of the back lens instead of other The phone is under the lens, this design looks very unique, but for the right-handed person, it is easy to touch the lens when unlocking.

Still retaining the 3.5 mm interface

Still retaining the 3.5 mm interface

In other details, Samsung still maintains most of the habitual design on the S8, with minor improvements, such as the aluminum frame in the S7 edge, but the S8 is polished instead of matte, the actual effect is bright, at the scene I even thought it was made of stainless steel; in addition, the phone is still a USB-C interface, and it also retains a 3.5 mm headphone port. At this point, Samsung is not as radical as Apple.

How AI is displayed on mobile phones

In addition to the above, Samsung Exynos 8895 processor, 4GB RAM (Samsung may introduce different processors or RAM products in countries around the world); maximum 2TB expansion card expansion, IP68 waterproof level, iris recognition, knox protection system, etc. Features have been upgraded.

But these hardware parameters can actually catch up with domestic manufacturers within 2 weeks. Where is the real embody of S8 intelligence?

I think it is Bixby. It is a smart assistant that appears on the S8 series of mobile phones, and is the selling point that Samsung most wants to say besides Infinity Display.

Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Microsoft Cortana... You must have seen many similar assistants. Bixby is a Samsung Smart Assistant that comes with S8. It is a card-like interface + Siri-like voice assistant. It's a bit like a mix of Google Now+Siri - both touch and voice.

Bixby

Bixby's card interface

For this, Samsung has set a separate button on the left side of the fuselage, you can call or open the Bixby interface at any time, showing its importance.

Most products that use the smart assistant banner can only be called "voice assistant". Currently, only a small number of tasks of one or two applications are supported, which will enable users to implement voice commands. They are not smart.

Bixby has higher permissions, such as you can switch it from Chinese to English; it also has a more natural ability to understand the language, such as when you browse photos, say "send this photo to mom", it I will know which photo you are talking about, who the mother is, and what is the action of "sending".

This is very similar to Apple's definition of Siri: incorporating artificial intelligence, making the phone smarter and more accustomed to its usage habits through voice, etc. But as we said before, Bixby is currently leading the way. There is a card-like interface like Google Now, and there is a "much more than voice" understanding ability, which makes it soundable and can "see" things: open the camera in the Bixby interface, take a book cover, it can Give an introduction and where to sell and so on. Or get up at 8 o'clock every morning, and then there are applications like drip taxis.

In addition, the card also incorporates Samsung Health and other things, can be connected with the heart rate, blood oxygen sensors and other hardware and software on the phone.

How do these functions perform in the country depends on the specific partners. For the example of “book cover”, at least Samsung and Baidu, Ali and other companies are required to complete this. This is also the suspense of all intelligent assistants. Similarly, vendors can only give them the most basic perception, but the specific results of the implementation, not enough smart, depends on what partners around the world can teach it.

So at the moment it can only be said that Bixby has performed well at this conference. From the perspective of implementation, card + voice is easier to understand than pure voice dialogue, but how to perform in mainland China depends on the domestic R&D team.

Become a computer

At the press conference, Samsung also showed how an S8 is connected to the monitor's mouse and keyboard and turned into a "computer" for office work.

Many years ago, this concept was implemented by Motorola, which was called "Webtop Notebook Docking Station". Moto's idea probably came from some sci-fi films: plugging the phone into a notebook-like base and acting as the core part of the calculation. Can maintain the mobile performance, but also can save a host, but at that time only dual-core 1GHz processor phone is obviously too difficult for the computer, then ASUS and Microsoft Lumia 950 have similar dreams, but in the end are quiet.

Samsung's way is similar to them. A bowl-shaped base has HDMI, USB, network cable interface, etc., which acts as a docking device for mobile phones and peripherals. The mobile phone is still the core and expands into a computer. Android can be used for lightweight office. When it comes to heavy office, Samsung provides an app similar to QQ Remote Desktop: the phone is connected to its main computer and the corresponding software is mapped.

S8 is connected to the display. On the big screen, there is an Android system similar to the Windows interface. It can be operated with the mouse and keyboard, and some light office processing is performed. This is much better than seeing the eyelids on the mobile phone. Interface, digital players will not be unfamiliar, once a manufacturer called Remix has done an Android host similar in size to the TV box, they have customized Remix os, is also a Windows-like interface.

In a sense, whether Moto, Microsoft or Asus, what you want to do is to go all out. But for mobile phone manufacturers, there is still a long way to go before mobile phones can replace computers. The change of mobile phone to computer is a icing on the cake for S8, but it is really necessary to wait for the computer to work. Your main computer still can't be less. Samsung hopes that it will only turn the mobile phone into a light office concept to a certain extent. Product (the two young office seems to be quite popular).

to sum up:

I have always believed that all products (including human beings) will evolve in the simplest and most effective form. For mobile phones, the final result may be a glass that can send and receive information and connect various devices. You are in various science fiction. I should have seen such a thing in the film.

It is foreseeable that the narrowing of the top, bottom, left and right borders will be the unified action of major mobile phone manufacturers in the next two years, not only as a selling point to promote sales, but also our imagination about future mobile phones. The Samsung S8 is the first step in this direction.

More intrinsic intelligence is the AI's presence, but I'm afraid it will take at least a month to realize it, and as mentioned above, S8 can become smarter in China, depending on Samsung's cooperation. Partner, not just itself.

size


LCD screen size refers to the LCD display part of the diagonal length. 1 inch =2.56 cm. In order to make a whole LCD screen produce the highest profit after cutting, a lot of research has been done on cutting technology. Take the LCD screen used by the 20-inch LCD monitor, there are 19.7-inch LCD screen and 20.1-inch LCD screen. But we generally call it a 20-inch liquid crystal.


The power supply board


Liquid crystal monitor and common liquid crystal display and liquid crystal TV all need to use liquid crystal power board to supply the liquid crystal screen. The difference lies in the choice of power board, general LCD monitor will use 7*24 hours of industrial power board; And because the market that monitor and liquid crystal TV are aimed at itself basically is civil market, the power supply that USES basically still is common power supply.


clarity


Similar to contrast, these two parameters are also important indicators to evaluate the effect of an LCD monitor. In theory, the higher the clarity, the better the picture.
