ZTE Q503 vs Lenovo A880: 1,000 yuan large screen enters the 4G era

ZTE Q503 vs Lenovo A880: 1,000 yuan large screen enters the 4G era
The thousand-yuan smartphone market has always been the most concerned area for domestic mobile phone brands, and large-screen smartphones are also the most attractive to domestic consumers. Combining the two is what domestic mobile phone manufacturers have been doing and will continue to do. Speaking of domestic thousand-yuan large-screen smartphones, last year's 6-inch large-screen Lenovo A880 that supported China Unicom's high-speed 3G network can be regarded as representative. Recently, the popularization of 4G networks has led to the evolution of smartphones. China Unicom has also joined hands with ZTE to launch a new generation of large-screen 4G smartphones, the Q503. Now, let's compare these two models to see what different experiences there are in thousand-yuan large-screen smartphones in the 4G era. The appearance design returns to the mainstream . Compared with the tough business style of Lenovo A880, the appearance of ZTE Q503 is more in line with the mainstream aesthetics of current smartphones, and the design concept is softer and more rounded, suitable for a wider range of users. From the front, although the 5.5-inch screen of Q503 is not small, the 6-inch screen of A880 is obviously larger. However, since the latter adopts the on-screen virtual buttons designed in accordance with Android standards, which occupies a part of the screen area, the actual usable display area of ​​the two is almost the same, and Q503 has an advantage in portability. Since A880 adopts an integrated body design, the side of the two machines is obviously different. A880 simply tightens the back cover upwards, similar to the design of some tablets, while Q503 is made of metal bright strips like many current products, which looks younger and more fashionable. Even though the back cover of Q503 can be removed to replace the battery, the thickness of the two machines is almost the same. The back of the two machines has the same design layout but the materials are completely opposite. The camera-related components, brand logo, and speakers occupy the upper, middle, and lower parts of the back cover of the body respectively. However, the A880 uses a skin-like material treatment, which feels better and is more non-slip, but it is very easy to get fingerprints and other dirt in daily use. In contrast, the bright plastic material of the Q503 is very ordinary, but it is easier to clean and maintains integrity with the front of the machine. The system interface is more native . As domestic brands, the two mobile phones have great differences in system experience and UI design in addition to the difference in appearance. The systems of both machines use Android 4.2.2 version, which shows good smoothness in operation. The biggest difference is that the A880 integrates Lenovo's own Le OS system UI, and the operation interface and menu style are customized twice, while the interface style of the Q503 is more native. Although there are not many gorgeous elements, the advantage of the native style is that it can further reduce the consumption of system hardware resources and improve the performance of the whole machine. The most noteworthy thing is that both machines have built-in pre-installed security software developed by the manufacturers. I believe that the protection function matched with the machine's native system can more effectively protect the user's personal information security. The performance level is comparable . In terms of hardware parameters, as a thousand-yuan smart phone, both machines use a MediaTek low-power processor with a quad-core Cortex-A7 architecture and 1G running memory. The graphics processor of the A880 is ARM's own Mali-400, while the Q503 uses the PVR SGX544 with slightly better performance, which is slightly different. In terms of camera imaging, both use a 5-megapixel main camera supplemented by an LED fill light. Among them, the Q503 adds post-processing functions such as "HDR enhancement" and "face beautification", which can further improve the quality of photos and occupy a certain advantage in camera functionality. In terms of battery life, both of them have good performance. The Q503 is particularly impressive in that it still has more than 30% of power left in standby for ten days. It can be seen that even with a large screen that consumes a lot of power, under normal use, there is no big problem with the battery life of one or two days. In summary , the upgrades of thousand-yuan large-screen smart phones in the 4G era are mostly improvements in appearance design, software and other details. Given the positioning of the mobile phone, it has not brought a greater breakthrough. However, the compatibility with the extremely fast 4G high-speed mobile Internet will undoubtedly further improve the experience of network life on mobile terminal devices. As a customized device of a communication operator, the 3G/4G integrated service promoted by China Unicom can also enable terminal devices to have a stable network experience in different environments. Therefore, for users who want to try something new, ZTE Q503 is indeed an entry-level product choice, and it also supports Unicom's 42M network. The peak downlink rate of 42M/s can help users download a high-definition blockbuster within 1 minute. The network speed is comparable to 4G, which is also the main value of this device.
