YunOS adds power to the A380 with outstanding highlights

The emergence and popularization of smartphones have provided people with more and more ways to obtain information through mobile devices. In the era of mobile Internet, whether smartphones can reflect Internet thinking in their design and development is an important factor in determining whether the product can be recognized by the market.

As a well-known domestic Internet mobile phone brand, Dakele recently launched the world's first big data 4G mobile phone, Dakele "Spring" A380. The latest version of Alibaba Cloud YunOS system it is equipped with has become the biggest highlight of the product.

Minimalist design caters to the public's aesthetic taste

The design of Coke A380 is extremely simple, whether it is the packaging or the product itself.

On the front of the box, the Big Coke and YunOS logos are placed side by side in the most eye-catching position. On the side, we can see the 4G symbol and the product code "Spring", indicating that this is a product that supports high-speed 4G LTE networks.

The design of the Dakele A380 host adopts a more mainstream style, with extremely rounded corners and metal edging for a comfortable feel. Although the 5.5-inch 540P resolution IPS display screen it is equipped with does not display high resolution and the screen does not use full-lamination technology, its performance in terms of viewing angles is still acceptable.

On the back of the machine, the "Spring" logo occupies the center of the back cover. The upper part of the back cover is the raised camera and flash design commonly seen in Big Coke phones, and the lower part is the Big Coke and YunOS logos and the speaker position.

It is worth noting that although the removable plastic back cover of the A380 feels good, fingerprints are easily left on the surface, and it is inevitable that it will become greasy after long-term use.

Although the machine itself supports dual SIM dual standby and can insert a TF card to expand the capacity, the 2300mAh battery capacity is still a bit small, especially in the face of the 5.5-inch large screen of the Dakele A380. There is really room for improvement.

In general, the exterior design of the Coke A380 is not particularly outstanding. It still follows the mainstream route commonly seen in current smartphones, and even has some imitation elements. So, what are the highlights of the Coke A380?

YunOS: A new force in mobile intelligent systems

The ordinary appearance of the A380 highlights its inner system, which is the Alibaba Cloud YunOS operating system.

The Alibaba Cloud YunOS version installed in the Dakele A380 is 2.9.2. After testing with the test software, the Android version is 4.4.2, and the running score reaches 17,000+ points. Given the hardware parameters of the Qualcomm MSM8926 processor of the Dakele A380, this is a reasonable result.

Alibaba Cloud YunOS also has good control over memory usage. The capacity of the Dakele A380's running memory is 1GB. Under normal circumstances, the device's memory usage is between 50% and 70%. The system runs smoothly and rarely freezes.

In terms of interface design, the unlocking interface of the A380 seems to be not much different from the native Android, but its desktop background will display the current weather information in a dynamic form. After double-clicking the unlock button, the lock screen interface will jump to the music playback page. The operation method is quite innovative.

On the main page, most application icons have been optimized twice and adopt a flat display style of rounded rectangles. While maintaining the integrity of the page display, they also have high compatibility with various third-party apps. In addition, the new Alibaba Cloud YunOS interface transition effect uses a large number of Apple iOS design elements, which looks more gorgeous.

Nowadays, mobile phone systems all emphasize "frosted glass". This design element also appears on Alibaba Cloud YunOS. The drop-down notification bar of the A380 is displayed in the form of "frosted glass". You can switch between the notification and quick setting interface by swiping left and right. The quick setting icon is designed in a hand-painted abstract style, which is clear and easy to use.

The default browser of the A380 is UC Browser, and the built-in weather software is very practical, with beautiful and rich content.

The machine's built-in app store provides a comprehensive range of software downloads, and the theme store also has rich customized content. The system also comes with security protection software. Before the software is downloaded and installed, the control permissions required by the application will be displayed first. When the application software requires Internet access and other operations, the system will also prompt the user to perform permission control. In the domestic Android device environment, such system settings are still necessary.

Of course, the most important feature of YunOS is the "cloud" related services. The most significant change is that the system comes with support for "cloud mailbox" services including Google Gmail, which is obviously the favorite of business people. In the dial-up interface, Alibaba Cloud YunOS also aggregates the "Yellow Pages" service, using the advantages of the cloud to aggregate various types of real-life services, from takeout to hotel reservations, covering a wide range of projects.

On the other hand, Alibaba Cloud YunOS itself is also closely integrated with the Taobao and Alipay platforms. Users can log in to the system using their Taobao or Alipay accounts, and make cloud backups of the phone's address book, photo album, and even software settings that need to be re-operated when changing phones. In the future, as the number of Alibaba Cloud YunOS devices continues to increase, the advantages of the "cloud" system will inevitably continue to increase. As an e-commerce giant, Alibaba can also provide more effective services around users through deep customization of the system level of mobile devices.

Comprehensively considered, the Dakele A380 is not only an entry-level 4G smartphone, but also symbolizes a new start in the new product positioning of Alibaba Cloud YunOS. From the user experience point of view, whether it is the interface design or the characteristic "cloud" function, the performance of the system is remarkable, which also makes us have new expectations for the situation of multiple domestic mobile operating systems.
