Glory NOTE 8 is one of the rare giant screen phones this year. It is the third glory flagship smart phone in 2016 after glory V8 and glory 8. The reason for positioning the Glory NOTE 8 as the flagship is that it is equipped with the Glory V8, the Unicorn 955 on the Glory 8 and the 4GB LPDDR4, and the 2K AMOLED is used without any problems on the screen, except for the IMX278 camera sensor that slightly dipped backwards. It seems like a flagship mobile phone.
In terms of configuration, Glory NOTE 8 uses a 6.6-inch 2K AMOLED screen (this is Glory's first smartphone with a 2K AMOLED screen). The SoC is still a Unicorn 955, and a single rear 13MP camera (IMX278) with optical Anti-shake, front 8 million pixels, battery capacity 4500mAh, with USB Type-C interface (USB 2.0), support for 9V/2A fast charge, support dual card dual standby + full Netcom, a total Platinum light, elegant gray Glacial silver three kinds of color.
Glory NOTE 8 officially claimed to be an integrated metal fuselage, but the bottom of the fuselage still has plastic faults, and the top camera position is embedded in the glass. The glory of the NOTE 8 uses a 2.5D glass panel, but the arc is small. The front of the fuselage is designed with ID without borders, and the screen will be scared by the thickness of the border after lighting the screen. The glorious Logo "honor" is always located on the chin of the phone and on the back of the body.
It can be seen that the glory of the ID frameless design NOTE 8 really does not give people a feeling of no border after the bright screen, but instead it is a kind of "a great sense of the frame." Instead of designing the mobile phone as a non-silvered, three hundred and two ID without borders, it would be better to honestly make the border even narrower. This is the author's opinion.
Comparing the 6.44-inch millet Max, the glory of NOTE 8 is slightly larger, and in other respects, the two are very similar. The same three-segment, bottom speaker opening, camera, flash and fingerprint recognition position, and even the metal rear shell curvature on the back of the fuselage are very similar, if not the glory NOTE 8 embedded in the glass at the camera, Really think that they are the same model.
The flagship of the main business style of NOTE 8 will be even more calm than the Xiaomi Max in terms of the color of the theme and the body, while Xiaomi Max will give the impression of “a large screen mobile phone for young peopleâ€.
Vivid mode
Standard mode
Glory NOTE 8's 2K AMOLED screen has two color modes: bright and standard.
Bright mode:
Contrast: Infinity Default White Point Color Temperature: 7780K Maximum Brightness: 330nits sRGB Color Gamut: 142.4% 104 Color Target: 8.1
The brightness of the entire screen under the highest manual brightness: 300~320nits
Standard mode:
Contrast: Infinity Default White Point Color Temperature: 7539K Maximum Brightness: 330nits sRGB Color Range: 94.5% 104 Color Target: 6.1
The brightness of the entire screen under the highest manual brightness: 300~320nits
Although the AMOLED glory of NOTE 8 is 2K resolution, but from the parameters we measured, its performance is very general indicators, poor performance standards, although the standard model, but it failed to save face.
System, Glory NOTE 7 uses EMUI 4.1 (Android 6.0), the overall feeling and the glory of the previous series is no different, 4GB of memory available memory after boot is 2.2GB. Here is a special Tucao Huawei application market that comes with EMUI, even if the king is not glorified, such as A1 SD bench, screen correction instrument such is even more, this kind of self-applied market App, although the lack of types is common sense In the middle, but even the king of glory this popular game is not really some unjustified.
Performance, the Glory NOTE 8 uses Unicorn 955 SoC, its performance and glory V8, Huawei P9 close. Our millet Max is a mid-range version, using the Xiaolong 652 SoC, and its CPU performance is slightly lower than the high-frequency Unicorn 955. The dragon 652 GPU Adreno 510 and Unicorn 955 Mali T880MP4 there is a certain gap between the overall performance of the Unicorn 955 is better than Xiaolong 652.
In terms of actual game testing, we chose the popular hand-tourist king to glory and open the special effects (open high-definition display). Since King Android glory's Android version locks frames at 30 frames, it is not possible to achieve higher frame counts even with performance overflow. Glory NOTE 8 In the 5V5 man-machine battle, the number of frames in the case of a large team fight (8 to 9) is 23 to 27 frames, and it is basically stable to maintain 30 frames in 2 to 3 players.

Note: The maximum pixel ratio of the photos of Honor NOTE 8 and Xiaomi Max is 4:3, and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is 16:9. The lens focal lengths of Honor NOTE 8 and Xiaomi Max are similar, the wide-angle size is similar, and the Galaxy S6 edge is due to the frame ratio. Question, the horizontal view of the photo will be smaller than the other two.
In this set of daytime proofs, Xiaomi Max’s white balance is slightly reddish, and the glory of NOTE 8 and the Galaxy S6 edge is normal. Resolving power is relatively close, and Maxim's sharpening will be stronger.

In the Outdoor daytime proofs, though the glory NOTE 8 is only 13 million pixels, and the other two are 16 million pixels, their resolution performance is not much different, although the color of Xiaomi Max will be slightly different from the others. There are deviations, but there is not much difference, and it is completely acceptable. The rapid development of smart phones in recent years, the well-lit daytime photographing environment has not allowed them to open a clear imaging gap.
Night & Indoor

In this set of indoor scenes, the light is not dark, but the complex environment and light make the imaging of the three different. From the imaging results, Glory NOTE 8 performed the worst and the proofs were out of focus. It is worth noting that the Group's Glory NOTE 8 samples were selected from 5, and the performance of the other four films was almost the same. In this set of scenes, if the three mobile phones all use the autofocus mode, the glory of the NOTE 8 will not be successful in this scene.
Millet Max's performance is also relatively poor, smearing and sharpening of the font are not handled properly. The flat performance of the Galaxy S6 edge in the outdoor daytime scene test has played its strength. Whether white balance, smearing, sharpening, analysis, or noise control is a repressive advantage over the other two phones, it is imperative Described as the difference between a rocket launcher and a millet plus rifle.

By the night proofs, the gap between the Galaxy S6 edge has further widened. In this group of extremely weak light and complex light plants, the imaging is affected by the center point light source. The white balance of the Glory NOTE 8 is too green, which may be due to point light sources and green plants. The formation of green floodlights caused. While Xiaomi Max’s white balance performance is normal, but there are too many noises. This is related to Xiaomi’s algorithm. In some scenes of Xiaomi 5, the noise is not enough. The official staff once stated that “this is to Keep the answer for more details. The Galaxy S6 edge is still showing the strength of the gap, specifically see the details of the restoration of the stone, green leaves, flood control and so on.

In this group of samples, millet Max's noise is still too much, and the glory of NOTE 8 is not bad, compared to other low-light proofs, its performance in this scene is closer to the benchmark Galaxy S6 edge.

At night and in indoor imaging, Xiaomi Max’s imaging is not as glorious as NOTE 8, far from Galaxy S6 edge. This kind of imaging quality is even better than that of the thousand Yuan machine, but IMX278 is used and optical image stabilization is added. Glory NOTE 8 is better, this is at least 1500~2000 yuan domestic smart phone camera level. Glory NOTE 8 can basically cope with normal night photographing under the control of noise. It does not respond to complex light and color, and Millet Max belongs to a bright class at night. The Galaxy S6 edge here is not rated as a benchmark.
Photographing summary
Glory NOTE 8 and Xiaomi Max are rare screen-sized smartphones with a 6.0 inch or larger size this year. The photographs of the glory of the NOTE 8 are worthy of this price. On the contrary, the photographs of Xiaomi Max are basically better than the Qianyuan machines. Last year's camera benchmark, the Galaxy S6 edge, had a small gap in low-light imaging. Due to the relatively small number of people using the giant screen mobile phone, together with the cost of large screens and large batteries, their configuration is often not the flagship level, but the price is not low, so many large screen mobile phones will not carry the flagship SoC Neither will it have an excellent photo experience.
In terms of battery life, Glory NOTE 8 maintained the same level as Xiaomi Max in our three-hour battery life. After the test, there was still 82% of the battery power remaining. We can see that in the first phase of the battery life test (NBA 2K15 30 minutes), the 2K screen's glory, the NOTE 8, consumes only 5% of the power, and the millet's Max, which is the 1080P resolution, is 8%. Here we notice the glory of NOTE 8 Although it is a 2K screen, running NBA 2K15 is not running 2K image quality (the game will adjust the image quality according to the SoC model). After 3 hours, the remaining 82% of the electricity is already a relatively good battery life. This level of cruising will satisfy most people. At this level, we want to use it to recycle the above battery life tests 5 times. That is 15 hours...
On the whole, the glory of the Note 8 giant screen mobile phone in addition to the big screen and battery life, there is no bright spot, thick black edge, appearance of the golden appearance, low quality 2K AMOLED screen, although the camera is equipped with optical image stabilization, but The performance of the night view is far from the domestic flagship mobile phone of this year, and it is far from the Samsung camera. The application of giant screen mobile phones is relatively small, this type of people are often extremely dependent on giant screen, and high life, glory NOTE 8's battery life does a good job, but the screen, although it is 2K resolution, but the quality is not high, if you Willing to sacrifice other aspects of the experience in order to screen and life, it is worth considering the glory NOTE 8.
