64-bit Android 5.0 How is Hisense D2M a better choice than Redmi?

The success of Redmi mobile phone indicates that there is huge market space for smartphones priced below 1,000 yuan in China. From Dasheng to Meizu, Redmi mobile phone's position in the 1,000 yuan phone market is also constantly challenged.

Not long ago, Hisense D2M was launched at a price of 699 yuan, entering the battle of domestic thousand-yuan mobile phones. Although Hisense is not the first mobile phone brand we can think of, from software to hardware, Hisense D2M is a product that can fully compete with and even suppress the industry benchmark Redmi.

Meizu-inspired appearance

699 yuan won’t give you a borderless design or a metal body. From the front, the Hisense D2M looks not much different from the previous impression of Samsung’s “big plastic”.

Without full lamination technology and too many fancy screen technologies, the Hisense D2M screen does not have much amazing performance. Fortunately, the 5-inch screen with a 720P resolution makes the display fineness still within an acceptable range.

On the back of the phone, Hisense D2M uses a curved back cover that fits the palm of your hand. The camera position and speaker opening are somewhat similar to those of the Meizu blue phone. The material treatment with a higher friction coefficient also makes the phone more stable to hold.

We say that Hisense D2M is very similar to Meizu, and the biggest reason is its removable back cover. Yes, this is another mobile phone with a removable back cover but non-replaceable battery. The battery capacity is not clearly indicated, but the dual SIM card + expansion card slot is very down-to-earth.

64-bit system + 64-bit processor Full Android 5.0 experience

In 2015, Android phones have fully entered the 64-bit era, but they are either 64-bit systems with 32-bit processors, or 64-bit processors with 32-bit systems. Many Android phones, especially those priced at around 1,000 yuan, cannot provide users with a complete 64-bit experience with their unilateral 64-bit designs.

From this point of view, Hisense D2M is equipped with Android 5.0 operating system, which is the latest Android system based on 64-bit design. It is equipped with MTK 6735 processor, which is also a 64-bit processor. Although the running score of less than 30,000 points is not high, it provides users with a complete 64-bit experience.

The purpose of 64-bit software and hardware design is to make the system run more smoothly, but from the Redmi 2 at the beginning of the year, we can easily find that nowadays, the 1GB running memory commonly used in thousand-yuan phones is already insufficient for the use of Android devices. In this regard, Hisense D2M also did not disappoint, becoming one of the few mobile phones under a thousand yuan equipped with 2GB RAM.

In actual experience, Hisense D2M has no pressure in running mainstream large-scale games. Its Vision UI, in addition to the application icons adopting a rounded rectangular design similar to MIUI, also basically maintains the native style of Android and retains the standard Android virtual button design. There is no redundant system additional content, making the operation smoothness very ideal.

Hisense D2M has also made some localized modifications to the nearly native system. For example, swiping up on the HOME button calls out Baidu instead of Google, and iFlytek is selected as the default input method.

It is also worth mentioning that Hisense D2M has also added some special features to the system, such as double-click to wake up, flip to mute, and opening specific applications through specific mobile phones. These small features commonly found in high-priced mobile phones still surprised us when they appeared in an entry-level product of 699 yuan.

Since the machine we got this time was an engineering machine, the system debugging was not perfect yet, and Hisense's own applications often had white screens and crashes.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from the pre-installed Hisense Sharing APP on the mobile phone that the linkage with terminal products such as Hisense TV will also become a highlight after the mobile phone is officially launched.

There are many ways to play with the front camera

What kind of camera should a thousand-yuan phone be equipped with? Perhaps 500W+800W is generous enough, but the Hisense D2M 500W+1300W pixel camera combination is obviously better in terms of data.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that it is an engineering machine, the actual photo-taking performance of Hisense D2M is not up to standard, with severe astigmatism and slow focus. We hope that these software optimization deficiencies will be improved in mass-produced models.

It must be mentioned that the front camera of Hisense D2M is very powerful. In addition to being able to remove acne and change your face into a cone-shaped face in seconds through graded beauty, it also supports taking pictures with the front and rear dual cameras at the same time. This will undoubtedly surprise those who are used to pressing the shutter with their iPhones. It is no longer difficult to include the person opposite you in your selfie.

Summarize:

With a price tag of less than 700 yuan, you certainly can't compare Hisense D2M with flagship phones that cost several thousand yuan. But if you put aside some users' obsession with Xiaomi and MIUI, it's no problem for Hisense D2M to beat Redmi phones in all aspects.

The 2GB of RAM, which is rare in smartphones under 1,000 yuan, the expansion of dual-SIM dual-standby support, the complete 64-bit hardware and software system and the good camera parameters all make Hisense D2M a star in the entry-level smartphone camp.

The biggest obstacle may be the Hisense logo on the back of the phone. Can this brand, which is familiar yet slightly unfamiliar in the mobile phone industry, be noticed and accepted by ordinary consumers?
