999 yuan eight-core luxury version Shenzhou Lingya X50 full review

Shenzhou, which has always been known as a "price butcher" in the notebook field, has swept the entry-level market with several models priced below 1,000 yuan since it entered the smartphone industry; the subsequent models launched have maintained the bottom line of price while the configuration has been rising steadily. The Shenzhou Lingya X50 introduced today is a 1,000 yuan machine with top configuration and excellent design. The true eight-core configuration and double-sided glass design have become its biggest selling points.

As the deluxe version, the configuration of Shenzhou Lingya X50 can also be called "luxurious" at this price. Compared with the 720p screen of the ordinary version, the deluxe version is directly upgraded to the mainstream 1080p resolution screen; and in addition to the 1.7GHz version of the MT6592 octa-core processor, it is also equipped with 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. In terms of photography, it also has a combination of 5-megapixel and 13-megapixel dual cameras.

Mirror texture back cover 1080p HD screen

Unlike the thousand-yuan phone that often compromises on the overall design or performance due to cost considerations, the Shenzhou Lingya X50 can be said to be both well-made inside and out. In terms of appearance, the Shenzhou Lingya X50 adopts a fashionable double-sided glass design, and the 5-inch screen body adopts a straight-line style, especially the back has a good mirror texture; but it is very easy to get fingerprints.

In addition, there is a 5-megapixel front camera on the top of the front, the touch button area at the bottom is large and easy to press, and the backlight brightness is sufficient for easy identification. The 5-inch 1080p IPS screen on the front is very delicate and has a very good viewing angle.

The left and right sides of the machine are inlaid with metal decorative strips to accommodate buttons, card slots and other positions; the SIM card slot and microSD card slot on the left and right sides have corresponding grooves for opening. What is slightly inconvenient is that the power/lock screen button on the right side of the Shenzhou Lingya X50 is too small and positioned relatively high, which feels bad.

In addition to the mirror texture of the glass material on the back, there is a 14-megapixel rear camera, LED fill light, logo and bottom speaker. The Shenzhou Lingya X50 has a built-in 3000mAh battery.

Fully compatible with 1080p HD video

The Shenzhou Lingya X50 mobile phone system uses the Android 4.2.2 operating system, and has made some customizations, with certain changes in the UI style. From the application icons, you can see its small and fresh route, and the overall color tone is very bright.

Performance test and evaluation summary

At a time when major domestic brands are competing for the 1,000-yuan octa-core model, the appearance of Shenzhou Lingya X50 can be regarded as a sudden rise; the lowest price is 799 yuan for the regular version with a true octa-core processor, and 999 yuan for a more luxurious version, so there is no need to worry about performance. In addition, the design of Shenzhou Lingya X50 is also rare in the 1,000-yuan machine. The disadvantage is that the system is not customized much and is slightly native, which is still not enough to meet the usage habits of Chinese people.
