华为 Ascend G615 智能手机测评

Smartphone confusion. 从外观上看,华为登高G615的出现是一个双胞胎的G600 - 但它的硬件是类似的D1四XL。要回答的问题是,新的智能手机是否成功的合并两部手机或只是另一种模式在华为的日益混乱的组合。
Smartphone Android

For the original German review, see here.

We reviewed the Huawei Ascend G600 quite recently. The smartphone did reasonably well, although we had issues with the performance in some areas. It seemed that the phone was operating at its limit most of the time as we noticed micro-stutters in the app drawer and on the home screen. The display performance was adequate - but not really comparable to the Ascend D1 Quad XL. Overall, the G600 was not a bad deal at the MSRP of 299 Euro (~$390) - at least not until the introduction of its successor, the Huawei Ascend G615.

The G615 combines the looks of the G600 with the performance of the D1 Quad XL. Huawei uses their own HiSilicon Quad-Core K3V2 with a core frequency of 1.4 GHz and a 16-core GPU. The phone comes equipped with 1024 MB RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a MicroSD card. The 4.5-inch display uses IPS technology and features a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The hardware is more or less identical to the D1 Quad XL. Unfortunately, Huawei does not use the latest version of the Google operating system - the G615 uses Android version 4.0.4 instead. At this point it is unclear when (and if) an update will be provided.

In the following review, we will determine if the new phone manages to eliminate the shortcomings of the G600 and how the hardware of the D1 Quad XL performs in the newer design.

对于的德国原装审查,在这里看到。

最近,我们回顾了华为Ascend G600。智能手机也相当不错,虽然我们在某些方面的性能有问题。这似乎该手机运行在它的极限的大部分时间,因为我们看到在应用程序抽屉,在主屏幕上的微口吃。显示性能是足够的 - 但不是真的堪比登高D1四XL。总体来说,G600是在建议零售价为299欧元(约$390)不是一个糟糕的协议 - 至少直到其继任者的推出,华为Ascend G615。

G615的外观相结合的G600 D1四XL的表现。采用华为自己的海思四核K3V2核心频率为1.4 GHz和16核心的GPU。这款手机还配备有1024 MB的RAM和8 GB的内部存储空间,可使用MicroSD卡扩展。 4.5英寸的显示屏采用IPS技术,拥有一个分辨率为1280×720像素。硬件是或多或少相同的D1四路XL。不幸的是,华为不使用谷歌操作系统的最新版本 - G615采用了Android4.0.4版本,而不是。在这一点上,目前还不清楚当(如果)将提供更新。

我们将在下面的审查,确定是否新的电话管理,以消除对G600的缺点和四XL执行在新的设计中的D1的硬件如何。

Case

The design is almost completely identical to the G600. Only very close examination reveals that the predecessor is slightly thicker. Our measurements show that the G615 is 0.5 millimeter thinner and 0.5 millimeter wider - the volume of the unit remains unchanged. The phone measures a fairly large 134 mm x 67.5 mm x 10.5 millimeters (5.28 x 2.66 x 0.41 inches) and weighs in at 145 grams (5.11 ounces) - exactly the same weight as the G600 and the D1 Quad XL.

The back cover is still made from polycarbonate - although this time around, it's matte and textured instead of being glossy. This not only improves the visual appearance - the G615 does look more upscale - but also improves ergonomics, as the phone is easier to hold. The build quality also appears similar: the phone is rigid and resists twisting well. Huawei offers the new smartphone in both white and black.

G600的设计几乎完全一致。只有非常亲密的检查发现,前身是稍厚的。我们的测量结果表明,G615是0.5毫米更薄,0.5毫米更宽 - 单元的体积保持不变。这款手机的措施相当大的134毫米X 67.5毫米×10.5毫米(5.28所述2.66所述0.41英寸),重量在145克(5.11盎司) - 一模一样的重量,G600和D1四XL。

后盖仍然是由聚碳酸酯制成 - 尽管这一次,它的哑光和光泽质感。这不仅提高了外观 - G615看起来更高档 - 但也提高了人体工程学设计,手机是比较容易掌握。构建质量也出现类似:,手机是刚性和抗扭曲良好。华为提供了新的智能手机,白色和黑色两种。

Connectivity

The location of the physical buttons, the speaker, and the camera module remain unchanged - only the opening for the microphone has been moved by a few millimeters. Removing the back cover reveals the SIM card and the slot for the MicroSD card in identical positions. The replaceable battery of the G615, which offers 220 mAh (+ 1.07 Wh) more capacity, fits into the G600 and the phone can be used with it even though the voltage differs by 0.1 volts.

几毫米已经移动了的位置的物理按钮,扬声器,摄像头模块保持不变 - 只有麦克风开口。卸下后盖揭示了SIM卡和MicroSD卡的插槽在相同的位置。更换电池适合G600和G615,它提供220毫安(+1.07瓦)更大的容量,手机可以使用它,即使电压0.1伏不同。

Software

Most Huawei smartphones ship with the same OS: Android 4.0.4. At the time of writing, we do not know when Huawei will offer an update to a newer version of the Google operating system.

 

Communication & GPS

The G615 uses the WLAN module also found in the D1 Quad XL and the G600. It supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and works flawlessly without dropping connections. The GPS module also maintains connections reliably. We did notice a difference when we checked downloads speeds when using mobile Internet: the G600 was limited to 7.2 Mbit/s; the G615 reached up to 21 Mbit/s. Both smartphones come with Bluetooth 3.0 and DLNA. The G615 is missing a NFC module, however - which seems to confirm that Huawei is using the same hardware also found in the D1 Quad XL.

通信与GPS

G615使用WLAN模块中还发现,D1四核XL和G600。它支持标准的802.11 B / G/ N和完美的作品不会断开连接。 GPS模块也保持可靠的连接。当我们检查使用手机上网时的下载速度,我们也注意到差异:G600被限制到7.2 Mbit / s的G615高达21 Mbit / s的。这两个智能手机配备了蓝牙3.0和DLNA。 G615缺少一个NFC模块,但是 - 这似乎也印证了华为D1四XL还发现,在相同的硬件。

 

Cameras & Multimedia

The G615's main camera features a resolution of 8 MP and uses a dual LED flash system. The camera up front only has a 1.3 megapixels lens - but at least that is 1 MP more than the camera found in the G600. Both cameras use the same sensors as the ones found in the D1 Quad XL and produce similar results.

The main camera resolves a lot of detail and produces vivid colors. We noticed noise only when taking pictures in dark areas, although it was always quite a bit less than what we experienced with the G600. What's true inside is also true outside: the sensor produces brighter results and colors that are more life-like.

相机及多媒体

G615的主摄像头拥有800万像素的分辨率,并采用了双LED闪光灯系统。相机前面有一个130万像素的镜头 - 但至少是100万像素以上的相机G600。 D1四XL发现,这两款相机都使用相同的传感器,并产生类似的结果。

主摄像头解决了很多的细节和鲜艳的色彩。我们注意到,仅在暗处拍照时的噪音,虽然它总是比我们经历了与G600相当少一点。什么是真正的内外面也是如此:传感器产生更明亮的效果和更多的生命的颜色是。

Accessories

No surprises here. In addition to various pamphlets, the manufacturer includes a modular power supply and a headset (not an in-ear design).

Warranty

In Germany, the smartphone is covered against manufacturer's defects for a period of 24 months.

Input Devices & Operation

Keyboard
Keyboard

Data input hasn't changed: the IPS touchscreen works precisely and is very quick to respond. When we reviewed the Ascend G600, we complained about micro-stutters in the app drawer and on the home screen. Fortunately, the G615 has no such issues. The pre-installed virtual keyboard remains unchanged - unfortunately so. The location of the keys is not ideal - third-party applications handle this much better. A quick search on Google Play should reveal plenty of choices.

数据输入并没有改变:IPS触摸屏精确非常迅速作出反应。当我们回顾的登高G600,我们抱怨在应用程序抽屉,在主屏幕上的微口吃。幸运的是,G615有没有这样的问题。预装的虚拟键盘仍然不变 - 不幸的是如此。键的位置不理想 - 第三方应用程序处理此更好。快速搜索在谷歌播放应该揭示很多选择。

Display

We've reviewed three phones in the Ascend series - all featuring a 4.5-inch IPS touchscreen display. The most significant difference between the G600 and the new phone is the resolution of the display: the G615 now features 1280 x 720 pixels and 326 DPI which is identical to the D1 Quad XL.

我们审阅登高系列的三款手机 - 全部配备一块4.5英寸的IPS触摸屏显示。 G600和新手机之间最重要的区别是显示分辨率:G615现在拥有1280 x 720像素,326 DPI D1四XL相同。

Contrast: 675:1 (Black: 0.52 cd/m²)

To check for further differences, we used the Gossen Mavo-Monitor to evaluate the display. The result is that the display of the G615 is an improvement over the other phones. The average brightness of 328.3 cd/m² is about 90 cd/m² higher than what the panel of the Ascend G600 is capable of and is quite noticeable outdoors. The brightness distribution is 86 percent but the black level of only 0.52 cd/m² (G600: 0,31 cd/m²), which in turn leads to a lower contrast compared to both the D1 Quad XL (1010:1) and the G600 (835:1).

The display of the G615 is brighter and features a better brightness distribution, but inferior black levels and contrast. Both phones don't come close to the superior D1 Quad XL.

要检查进一步的差异,我们使用的戈森MAVO的监控评估显示。其结果是,G615显示的是一个改进了的其他电话。 328.3坎德拉/平方米的平均亮度高出约90坎德拉/平方米,比登高G600面板能够很明显的户外活动。的亮度分布是86%,但只有0.52坎德拉/平方米(G600的黑色电平:0,31坎德拉/平方米),这反过来又导致较低的对比比D1四路XL(1010:1),对G600 (835:1)。

G615的显示明亮,并设有一个更好的亮度分布,但劣质的黑色层次和对比度。这两款手机不接近上级D1四XL。

Outdoor use.

Because of the bright display, the phone does quite well when used outside. A lower black level and correspondingly higher contrast would make reading the display content easier still. We don't like the highly reflective display, which also happens to be a fingerprint magnet, but those issues are not exclusive to the G615 or Huawei as other well-known manufacturers deal with the same problems.

由于明亮的显示屏,手机做得比较好以外使用。较低的黑电平相应更高的对比度,使显示内容更容易阅读。我们不喜欢高反射的显示屏,这也恰好是一个指纹磁铁,但这些问题是不是独家G615或华为等知名厂商处理同样的问题。

Viewing angle stability is another area where the G615 posts better scores. Even though the panels of both phones can be viewed from similarly shallow angles, the display content of the G615 ends up being easier to read because of the increase in brightness.

视角的稳定性是另一个地方的G615职位更好的成绩。即使可以从类似的浅的角度看,这两个手机的面板的显示内容的G615由于亮度的增加,更容易阅读。

Performance

Even though the phones look similar, this section clearly shows that the internal components are quite different. While the G600 uses a dual-core CPU with 1.2 GHz, the G615 is equipped with a quad-core processor featuring a clock speed of 1.4 Ghz and more system RAM (1 GB DDR3). The GPU is also different - instead of an Adreno 203, Huawei uses their own Vivante GC400 16-Core GPU. This chip showed promising results when we reviewed the D1 Quad XL.

We use synthetic benchmarks to check the performance of the components. The results of the tests show that both the G615 and the D1 Quad XL perform at almost the same level; the G600 only does well in the single-thread Linpack benchmark. The powerful Exynos Quad-Core in the Galaxy S3 also trails behind.

即使手机外观相似,本节清楚地表明,内部元件有很大的不同。虽然G600采用了1.2 GHz的双核CPU,G615配备了四核处理器的时钟速度为1.4 GHz和更多的系统内存(1 GB DDR3)。 GPU也是不同的 - 而不是一个的Adreno203,华为采用Vivante的GC400自己的16核GPU。该芯片表现出乐观的结果,当我们回顾D1四XL。

我们使用的合成基准测试的组件的性能进行检查。测试结果表明,无论是G615和D1四核XL在几乎相同的水平执行; G600不仅在单一线程Linpack基准。强大的Exynos四核在银河S3还落后落后。

The browser-based tests confirm the results. The G615 and the D1 Quad XL perform equally well. This time around, the competing phones are not far behind - the Galaxy S3 actually ends up scoring significantly better when running Google's V8 v.7 benchmark. This difference can be explained though. The predecessor of the Galaxy S4 was tested using Chrome while the other phones with the standard Android-browser that predated Chrome for Android.

基于浏览器的测试结果确认。 G615和D1四XL同样表现出色。这一次,竞争的手机也不甘落后 - ,银河S3实际上最终得分显着更好的运行谷歌的V8 V.7基准。虽然可以解释这种差异。前任的Galaxy S4使用Chrome测试,而其他与标准的Android浏览器,填早的Chrome为Android手机。

The predecessor of the G615 had no issues performing various multimedia tasks. We also checked the performance of the new smartphone with a movie trailer in Full HD and found it more than adequate. MKV container files also posed no problem for the hardware.

G615的前身有没有问题,执行各种多媒体任务。我们还检查了新的智能手机的性能与全高清电影预告片,并发现它绰绰有余。 MKV容器文件也没有造成问题的硬件。

Gaming Performance

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

A smartphone equipped with a quad-core SoC should have no issues playing even power-hungry 3D games. We still wanted to check the performance ourselves and downloaded Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and GTA III. The phone did really well. We were able to play both games without any stutters or lags. The temperature of the case also didn't increase significantly.

配备四核SoC的智能手机应该没有问题,甚至玩3D游戏耗电。我们仍然希望自己的性能进行检查和下载速度紧追GTA III的极品。这款手机确实非常好。我们可以玩游戏没有任何口吃或滞后的。温度的情况下也没有显着增加。

Call Quality

Using a smartphone for phone calls? Yes, even this high-end phone can still handle the most basic task for a phone. Both call partners had no issues understanding each other; the speaker phone also works well. When we used the hands-free option in the car, we had some issues with background noise. A headset might be the better choice in this scenario.

使用智能手机的电话吗?是的,即使这种高端手机仍然可以处理一个电话的最基本的任务。两个呼叫伙伴了解对方有没有问题,手机的扬声器也运作良好。当我们使用免提选项在车上,我们有一些问题的背景噪音。一个耳机可能是更好的选择,在这种情况下。

Emissions

 

Temperature

There is a difference between the heat emissions of a dual-core and a quad-core CPU. The G600 and G615 do not differ as far as their thermal design is concerned, but the G615 has to get rid of the additional heat that is being generated. Under maximum load, the new phone gets about 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than the predecessor. Even during idle, the G615 doesn't remain as cool as the G600. Although the temperatures are higher across the board, there are absolutely no reason for concern, as the range is perfectly acceptable for daily use.

温度

了双核和四核CPU的热量排放之间是有区别的。 G600和G615不尽可能关注其热设计不同,但G615正在产生额外的热量,摆脱。在最大负载时,新手机获得约4摄氏度(7.2华氏度)的温度比前作。即使在闲置时,不留G615 G600一样酷。虽然气温全线走高,完全没有理由担心,作为日常使用是完全可以接受的范围内。

Speaker

Gone is the ‘dts’ logo. The quality of the speaker output definitely has dropped a notch. The G600 had the better speaker. To our ear, it sounds like at least some of the G600 speaker technology has found its way into the new phone, albeit at reduced quality. Higher volume levels lead to distortion and the sound gets tinny. Lower frequencies and bass are completely lacking which is a common occurrence among the smartphones we have reviewed so far.

Energy Management

 

Power Consumption

For a phone equipped with a quad-core processor, the G615 is not very power hungry during idle. We measured between 0.4 and 1.2 watts - only a little more than the G600 (0.4 - 1 watts). As soon as the phone is tasked with more demanding applications (multimedia playback, for example), the power consumption increases exponentially and hovers between 4.3 and 7 watts (G600: 1.7 - 2.8 watts).

耗电量

G615配备四核处理器的手机,是不是很耗电在空闲。我们测量了0.4和1.2瓦之间 - 只有一点点的G600(0.4 - 1瓦)以上。只要手机的任务更为苛刻的应用程序(例如多媒体播放,),功耗成倍增加4.3和7瓦(G600:1.7 - 2.8瓦)之间徘徊。

Battery Life

One significant difference between the smartphones is the battery life. Even though the battery of the G615 offers more capacity, it actually doesn't last as long which is easily explained when we consider the increased power consumption. The quad-core G615 requires more power across all utilization levels - especially during full load. The phone manages to last for 2 hours and 13 minutes in this scenario. The result of the WLAN surf-test was better. We recorded a run time of 11 hours and 13 minutes. The maximum battery life we established using the lowest possible display brightness where the phone can be used as an E-Reader was about 14 hours and 2 minutes.

智能手机的一个显着的区别是电池的寿命。即使G615的电池提供更多的容量,它实际上并没有最后只要这很容易解释,当我们考虑增加功耗。四核G615在所有利用水平需要更多的权力 - 尤其是在满负荷。的电话管理持续2小时13分钟,在此方案中。 WLAN冲浪测试的结果是更好的。我们录得运行时间11小时13分钟。我们建立使用尽可能低的手机可以被用来作为一个电子阅读器的显示屏亮度是最长的电池寿命大约14小时2分钟。

Verdict

During our review, it became immediately apparent that there are not a lot of similarities between the G600 and the G615 - even though the phones look a lot alike. The G615 compares much better to the D1 Quad XL as far as the hardware and performance is concerned. The G615 is equipped with a 1.4 GHz quad-core SoC. The chip - just like the one for the D1 Quad XL - is sourced from HiSilicon, a subsidiary of Huawei. The various wireless and communication modules are also carry-overs from the D1 Quad XL. The only really difference in the hardware is the IPS display. The panel has a higher average brightness than the one used in the G600 - although it's still a distant second to the display of the D1 Quad XL as far as overall quality is concerned. This is not really surprising and something has to account for the difference in MSRP of 150 Euro (~$195). One of the most compelling reasons is often the price. In this case, both the Ascend G600 and G615 retail for 299 Euro (~$390). It makes much more sense to go with the G615 - a lot more smartphone with a brighter display. Of course, the increase in performance comes at a price: the shorter battery life - although the G600 also needs to be recharged every second day when heavily used.

So where does the G615 fit into Huawei's lineup and can its existence be justified? During our review, the new smartphone showed a lot of qualities that make it a solid choice. At the same price point, we seriously have to question the future of the G600, though.

我们的审阅,立即变得明显,有没有G600和G615之间有很多相似之处 - 即使手机外观有很多的一致好评。 G615比较更好的D1四XL的硬件和性能方面。 G615配备了一个1.4 GHz的四核心SoC。该芯片 - 就像一个D1四XL - 来自深圳市海思半导体,华为的子公司。各种无线通信模块也结转从D1四XL。唯一真正的区别在硬件IPS显示屏。面板上有一个较高的平均亮度比使用G600 - 虽然D1四XL的显示,就整体质量而言,它仍然是一个遥远的第二。这是不是真正令人吃惊和东西已经占到建议零售价为150欧元(约$195)的差异。其中最引人注目的原因往往是价格。在这种情况下,无论是登高G600和G615的零售价为299欧元(约$390)。更有道理去与G615 - 很多智能手机同一个更亮的显示屏。当然,性能的提高是有代价的:在较短的电池寿命 - G600虽然也需要每隔一天充电时大量使用。

那么,这是否G615适合到华为的阵容中,它的存在是合理的吗?在我们的审阅,表现出了很多新的智能手机的素质,使其成为一个坚实的选择。在同价位中,我们认真质疑未来的G600,虽然。

What we like

While the G600 was operating at its maximum limit, the G615 has plenty of reserves. The quad-core CPU handles multimedia applications extremely well and the display offers good performance.

What we'd like to see

The display could have better contrast and black levels. The omission of the NFC module hurts the feature set. And the latest software.

What surprises us

Huawei released the successor to the G600 very quickly and the new model, the G615 makes a very attractive package. Surprisingly, the price remains the same.
