Star Galaxy A9 Star, winning the market in a way that the market likes

William O'Neill, a well-known economist and investor in the United States, said this: Experience shows that the market itself can speak, and the market is always right. Those who despise the marketability will eventually suffer! The current mobile phone market, the big waves, the market's selection of different brands and functional products, let some mobile phone brands gradually grow and become kings, and once those desperate brands can only die because they do not really understand the market needs what.

Introduction

With the Android wave and industry advantages, Samsung Galaxy A9 Star has become one of the few giants in the smartphone era industry, but in the face of new challenges and other brand shocks, Samsung is constantly adjusting its product line and striving to stabilize its market share. , in the market in the market's favorite way. So what is the way the consumer market likes it now? In terms of mobile phone products, it is the performance of mobile phones in terms of photography, performance, and intelligence. Especially after social networking has become the dominant factor in people's lives and the data traffic channel has risen sharply, the photography function of mobile phones has become the most important part of consumers' choice of mobile phones. This is the way the market likes.


The main mobile phone products on the market, the main advertising-related slogans are everywhere, everywhere. Samsung is one of the early players who realized the importance of mobile phone photography to the importance of mobile phones. From the first mobile phone equipped with a camera function, Samsung has a history of 18 years, which means that the mobile phone market has a camera function. The most experienced mobile phone manufacturer. Some people also commented that without the insistence of Samsung, the Android camp may still be behind the iPhone for many years in photography.

However, in the eyes of most people, Samsung’s high-end machines are fascinating in mobile photography. S3 first proposed 8 million pixels, S4 Zoom achieved 10x optical zoom, and S5 reached 0.3 seconds fastest (at the time). The autofocus, S7 brings a full-pixel dual-core fast focus, to the intelligent variable aperture brought by this generation of S9 series, dual OIS anti-shake and so on. I don't know after photography became the highlight of the competition of mobile phone products, Samsung has added the functional advantages of most high-end machine photography to the field of mid-range machines, facing a broader young consumer group. For example, the more youthful Samsung Galaxy A9 Star is a generation of mid-range machines that Samsung has focused on, showing its different talents in photography.

The demand of the market is the superiority of the product.

What the market needs, what to do. Galaxy A9 Star should be the most profound understanding of this sentence in Samsung products. The star effect, cost performance, and glamorous appearance are not absent. The most important thing is the blessing of the 24 million pixel camera before and after, thanks to the hardware upgrade in the software. At the level, Samsung has made a higher level of plasticity and playability.


The Galaxy A9 Star features a front-facing 24-megapixel camera with an aperture of F2.0 and a night-time self-timer to ensure adequate brightness. Rear 24 million cameras + 16 million depth of field camera combination, F1.7 large aperture, in the dark environment, four pixels can be aggregated into 1.8μm large pixels, with 4 times photosensitive imaging, the same, this is to ensure that the phone is in the dark The environment can still maintain better color performance, which is a technology that can open the difference in experience in the same price mobile phone products. With the help of the market, Samsung turned it into a product of excellence.

Standard, depth of field, super wide-angle three lens combination

It also supports the scene smart recognition function, which automatically adjusts the effect of the film according to the subject.

Huawei Honor Band 4 Review: cheap but limited functionality is not worth buying

 For a long time, users are pursuing cheap, fast and beautiful electronic products, but often can not do so, after all, "good goods are not cheap." However, Huawei has tried to satisfy the user's pursuit with the Honor Band 4. It is designed for the budget-conscious technology enthusiasts and belongs to the glory sub-brand.

The Huawei Honor Band 4 is priced at only $80 in the US. It is $20 cheaper than the original Pebble after the discount, and the shape is more beautiful, but after the trial, we found that it does not bring us a good experience.

In fact, the Huawei Honor Band 4 reminds me of cheap smartwatches in many ways, such as the smartwatches of the first generation Pebble and Alcatel OneTouch. Like them, the Honor Band 4 runs a custom operating system and is more limited by more expensive competitors. At the same time, the price of the above three smartwatches is much lower than Apple Watch (starting at $ 249) and most Android Wear devices (selling about $ 250).

2. If you choose to buy cheap products, then don't expect them to bring you a high-end user experience, after all, the price of the third-rate is impossible to buy first-class votes.

As for the Honor Band 4 for male users or female users, I don't think it matters. After all, we are in 2018 and we live in a more enlightened era.

3. Shape design

In terms of shape design, the Honor Band 4 is stylish, with a delicate case and a slender strap. The Honor Band 4 features a 38 mm round case design and a polished stainless steel bezel. The strap is made of inexpensive thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material, which means it is easily damaged and dyed by blue jeans. At the same time, the Honor Band 4 is equipped with a very narrow strap that fits on the wrist of my friend's 14-year-old daughter and looks more comfortable than wearing it on my arm.

4. It is worth mentioning that the Huawei Honor Band 4 supports IP68 protection level, which means it has a certain waterproof and dustproof capability, which is good.

Huawei's Honor Band 4 uses a circular dial, but it actually has a 1.06-inch square OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 128 x 128. Its display is obviously not comparable to high-end watches. After the trial, the screen content of the Huawei Honor Band 4 is difficult to see under the sun.

5. Although the Honor Band 4 supports the ability to raise the arm to wake up the screen, it is often awakened unexpectedly. Sometimes, when I am sleeping, I will be awakened by the glare of the monitor in front of me. At the same time, the Honor Band 4 has a short screen backlight, so if you miss it, you need to wake up again. In addition, the touch screen has inaccurate sliding positioning, which makes the overall operating experience more severe.

Functional experience

In terms of functionality, the Huawei Honor Band 4 tracks the number of steps the user takes, recording the calories burned and the length of sleep. If you are going out for a run, you can activate a separate activity tracking mode that will tell you the number of steps you have run and the number of calories burned.

6. The Honor Band 4 is not equipped with the Android Wear operating system but is a closed operating system independently developed by Huawei. With the Huawei Wear app, it provides basic fitness features and sleep tracking, and data is automatically synced to the phone app.

On the screen of the phone, you will see a large circle where the edges will gradually fill up as the user moves or sleeps. You can click to view your historical data to see how much calories you have consumed or how much food is offset. For example, if you set a daily calorie that you need to consume, you can always see the target completion. As for the watch interface, each page displays separate information such as calorie expenditure index, sleep duration or message notification.

7. At the same time, the app allows you to adjust some of the features in the Honor Band 4, such as enabling or disabling push notifications and idle reminders. But that's it.

Although the Honor Band 4 is only equipped with a 100 mAh battery, its battery life is good due to the relative power savings of the processor, screen, and system. In the actual test process, Huawei's Honor Band 4's battery life can reach five or six days, higher than most smartwatches.



8. When you see a mobile device, you will definitely think about which type of people it is designed for. Although the Huawei Honor Band 4 is full of young women, it does not seem to be a qualified fashion wearable. The specific reason can be attributed to its slightly lower-end design and not very sophisticated features.


Summary

Compared to the original Pebble smartwatch, the Huawei Honor Band 4 is priced at $20 cheaper and more fashionable, but the original Pebble smartwatch can give people a better experience. If you have a small child who wants to have his first wearable device, then you can consider buying an Honor Band 4 to get him started, otherwise I don't recommend buying it.

All the rumors about Apple iOS 12, iPad Pro, iPhone, etc. in 2018

The company's annual Global Developers Conference provides clues about the way forward for next-generation operating systems and software applications for Apple's iPhone, iPad, Macs, watches, HomePod speakers and Apple TV players. The show, held June 4-8 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif., will also allow third-party developers to talk to Apple executives, engineers, and product designers.

Apple takes the OS, applications, services and software frameworks that will be introduced later this year. However, Apple sometimes uses spotlights to introduce new hardware.

There may be new iPad Pro, MacBook, etc.

When Apple CEO Tim Cook came on stage on June 4, don't expect to see a new high-end iPhone or a new Mac Pro. The sequel to iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is expected to be as usual. In September, Apple has confirmed that the new Mac Pro will not arrive until 2019. Similarly, HomePod speakers and entry-level iPads are basically new, released in February and March.

But there are four product categories here, and there is a nice refresh in June:

MacBooks and iMacs: Apple refreshed almost all laptops and desktops at WWDC last year. Now, one year later, moving this product line to the latest 8th generation Intel processor will be a simple and boring upgrade. Whether this will lead to greater design reforms - such as rethinking the problematic Butterfly Keyboard and the still controversial Touch Bar feature on the MacBook Pro laptop - will be canceled. The same is true of the MacBook Air, which has been rumored to be a comeback mode.

Advantages of the iPad: Apple brought an important feature of the iPad Pro series (compatibility with the Pencil stylus) to the new entry-level iPad launched in March. The traditional view is that it is now possible to develop a higher-priced iPad Pro model to improve the iPhone X design: perhaps you can switch the home button and add a Face ID.

iPhone SE 2: As we said, the iPhone's large upgrade is expected to be within the standard timeframe of September. But there are rumors that the iPhone SE is an entry-level iPhone launched in March 2016 and is expected to be upgraded. Whether it's a full-screen iPhone X design (which seems unlikely) or just a specification upgrade in the same organization (more likely) is unknown.

Apple AirPower: When Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of global marketing, launched the multi-device charging board with iPhone X in September 2017, he said it will be launched next year. So, although you can't say that it's "late" before January 1, 2019, one has to assume that Apple wants to get the accessory on the store shelf before its first anniversary. WWDC will be an excellent opportunity to announce pricing and availability - maybe we can also see AirPower compatible AirPods case.


Other things we didn't expect on June 4: As for other Apple hardware, almost anything else would be a big shock. Don't expect new Apple Watch, Apple TV box, second-generation AirPods or mini HomePod speakers. While Apple may spend more time discussing AR Kit -- its software toolset for bringing augmented reality to iOS -- and virtual reality on the Mac, it certainly won't expect any hints from Apple AR / VR headsets. The company is clearly fiddling with closed doors - if any, is expected to be close to 2020.

However, you will find that almost all of the above software and operating systems have a large number of new software and operating systems.

iOS 12: Prioritize quality rather than quantity

After overcoming a series of flaws and glitch, it has weakened the reputation of iOS 11 - including the controversial "deliberately slowing down the iPhone" "features" - allegedly, Apple will focus on the mobile version of the upcoming mobile version of the quality and Innovative operating system, ostensibly called iOS 12.
