Among the dual-camera phones listed in the domestic market this year, Huawei P9 was available in the first half of the year, Red Rice Pro was available in the middle of the year, and cool1 dual, the first dual-camera phone launched by Coolpad+LeTV, was available in the autumn of the second half of the year.
It may not be surprising to equip the high-end flagship with dual cameras, but when dual cameras enter the thousand-yuan machine market, the significance is completely different.
Cool1 dual is equipped with dual 13-megapixel cameras, and it is also the only model equipped with 6P lens in the same gear. Compared with the general model equipped with 5P lens, it can further gather light and enhance the resolution and contrast of the lens.
So, what is the strength of this dual-camera mobile phone that took the lead in breaking into the thousand-yuan gear in taking pictures? Today we will bring you the specific evaluation content about cool1 dual.
Cool1 dual appearance technology: balanced symmetry+aviation aluminum metal.
In the current thousand yuan machine market, in addition to the configuration, manufacturers have also made great strides in the design and technology of the fuselage, from plastic fuselage to double-sided glass to today’s metal fuselage. In just two or three years, the thousand yuan machine has almost changed its appearance.
Today, it coincides with Cool+LeTV coming together. The cool1 dual jointly launched by the two has a high degree of attention with the name of thousand yuan double camera. In terms of design, it also has an ingenious design style.
The first is the use of ID borderless, combined with the 5.5-inch 1080P screen, which greatly improves the overall visual effect of the machine.
The width of the panels at the upper and lower ends of the cool1 dual screen is moderate, and the functional opening of the upper panel also adopts a balanced and symmetrical design (the front light sensor and the front camera are symmetrical).
In addition, the lower panel of the fuselage screen is equipped with three traditional Android touch buttons and LED backlight effect, so it can be easily seen at night.
Cool1 dual adopts an integrated metal middle frame, adopts a three-stage structure on the back panel, and the middle part is aviation aluminum metal, which is processed by CNC precision technology. At the same time, it also uses the same zircon sandblasting technology as iPhone, which has a delicate feel.
At the two ends of the back of the fuselage, plastic materials are used for connection. The reason why this upgrade is adopted is that on the one hand, it can avoid the appearance of white stripes on the back, and on the other hand, it can further ensure that the mobile phone has a good and stable signal.
On the functional equipment of the back of the cool1 dual fuselage, the most attractive thing is the rear two 13-megapixel cameras (6P lens, F2.0 aperture). At the same time, it also adds a unique wear-resistant mirror fingerprint identification module, which not only has the unlocking ability, but also can be equipped with a unique dual-camera as a shutter button.
At the tail of the fuselage, cool1 dual has added the brand logo of the cool eco-phone, and at the same time, it is equipped with high-gloss metal decorative strips around the fuselage, which makes the overall look more textured.
On the port equipment of the fuselage, the cool1 dual not only adds the conventional 3.5mm headphone jack and dual speaker ports, but also adds the infrared remote control function, which can be used as a universal remote control to operate the electrical equipment at home, and is also equipped with a Type-C interface, which supports blind plug-in and reverse charging.
Cool1 dual camera function: dual 13 megapixel 6P lens.
Looking at the current thousand yuan machine market, almost all of them are still using the design of 5P lens. The arrival of cool1 dual not only brings double lenses to the thousand yuan machine, but also becomes the only model equipped with 6P lens in the current gear.
Compared with the general 5P lens, the 6P lens equipped with cool1 dual has better ability to collect light, and at the same time can enhance the resolution and contrast of the lens.
Start the camera function of cool1 dual, and you can see at a glance that it is equipped with a very rich camera mode, including SLR mode, night scene mode, standard mode, professional mode, and also equipped with a variety of filter effects.
SLR mode real shot sample
In the SLR mode of cool1 dual, you can take photos with a shallow depth of field similar to that of a SLR camera with a large aperture. When taking photos, it is extra important to note that the lens of the mobile phone should be kept within 2 meters from the subject.
According to the actual shooting effect, the background blur effect shot by cool1 dual in SLR mode is natural as a whole, which highlights the main body of flowers and makes the background hazy.
At the same time, in this mode, the feedback of cool1 dual for color and light is based on the rendering of real scenes, unlike some mobile phones that deliberately do it to highlight color saturation and brightness.
Standard mode real shot proof
In the standard mode, it is often a comprehensive test of mobile phone hardware and manufacturers’ camera adjustment, because most people choose to take pictures in the standard mode when using their mobile phones.
From the specific performance of real shooting, cool1 dual can perform well in imaging effect in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Professional mode
At the same time, cool1 dual also provides a professional mode, in which it provides a wealth of adjustable parameter settings, including white balance, sensitivity, exposure compensation, shutter time and color saturation.
If the standard mode is equivalent to the automatic transmission of a SLR camera, then the professional mode tends to let go of the camera’s functions and give it to users freely.
Professional mode real shot proof
For real shooting in professional mode, during the whole shooting process, the first thing to pay attention to is that the range of parameter adjustment should not be too large as far as possible (although the mobile phone provides a wide range of parameter adjustment values), and gradually adjust to find the most ideal picture effect.
In the professional mode, the control of light and color is set by the user, and then it is given to the camera for imaging. From the actual effect, it can better play the potential of cool1 dual lens.
Real shot proof in low light environment
Taking pictures at night or in low light is the most difficult problem to control, because hand shake and camera shake are caused by low shutter speed in low light. When using a SLR camera, these jitters can be prevented by increasing the shutter speed.
In the cool1 dual, it is equipped with a special night scene mode. In the night scene mode, double shooting can increase the amount of light by three times to ensure the pure color of the photo.
Judging from the actual shooting effect, cool1 dual can obviously improve the brightness of the picture in the night scene mode, and it has relatively intuitive feedback on the specific imaging effect, which must be praised. If the anti-shake function is further strengthened, the machine will play even better.
Judging from the above real shooting experience, as the first thousand-yuan dual-camera mobile phone, the cool1 dual is enough to give people a stunning feeling, both in color performance and contrast of light and dark details, although the focusing time and anti-shake function need to be further improved, but behind the people-friendly price of 1099 yuan, these shortcomings are not so much. After all, it is impossible to demand perfection of the thousand-yuan mobile phone with the flagship scale.
Cool1 dual operating system: EUI with built-in complete LeTV ecosystem.
On the operating system, cool1 dual is equipped with EUI5.6 system based on LeTV’s eco-content, which is the biggest difference from other brand customization systems in that it provides users with a borderless content experience.
In EUI, in addition to the conventional application desktop, it also innovatively added the Happy Desktop and the LIVE Desktop, in which the Happy Desktop not only allows users to manually select the content to watch, but also intelligently analyzes users’ viewing habits, and makes targeted recommendations for content that is more in line with users’ preferences.
In the LIVE desktop, it mainly provides users with the live content provided by current TV stations and LeTV, including popular TV dramas and variety shows broadcast by David, as well as sports events, self-made dramas and rich live video content from abroad.
At the same time, in EUI, it will also open all the apps, provide users with one-stop service, and integrate the whole ecology. For example, through the calendar function in EUI, you can not only view the date, but also intuitively see the specific date and time of the game you are concerned about, and you can also choose to view and play back, so that all the wonderful contents will not be missed.
Cool1 dual performance score: Qualcomm 652 eight nuclear processor performed well.
In the overall configuration, the cool1 dual adopts a 5.5-inch 1080P screen, equipped with Qualcomm Xiaolong 652 eight nuclear processor, built-in 4GB+32GB memory combination, front 8-megapixel camera, rear dual 13-megapixel camera and built-in 4060mAh battery.
Qualcomm Xiaolong 652 adopts four A72 and four A53 cores with frequencies of 1.8GHz and 1.2GHz respectively, and integrates GPU Adreno 510.
In the performance score of Geekbench, the single-core performance score of Qualcomm Xiaolong 652 is 1512, and the multi-core performance score is 4801.
In the performance test of Ann Bunny, the final score of cool1 dual is 80507, including 19279 for 3D performance, 29776 for UX performance, 24615 for CPU performance and 6837 for RAM.
Models in the same score segment as cool1 dual include: Huawei P9, Samsung Note5, iPhone6, etc.
In terms of endurance, cool1 dual has a built-in battery with a capacity of 4060mAh, which can achieve a battery life of about 30 hours under normal use, and there is no problem in using it all day.
End of evaluation: When the dual-camera mobile phone just became popular in the market this year, Coolpad+LeTV jointly released a big move. cool1 dual entered the thousand-yuan file with dual 13-megapixel 6P lenses, which is undoubtedly a major subversion of the current thousand-yuan market. In the performance of dual camera, cool1 dual has excellent performance in both color and detail. The key is the price of 1099 yuan, which is really sincere.
