Buying Mobile Phones for My Mom and Dad: Buying MOM 3000 Mobile Phones for the First Half of 2017 - Buying Ideas

In recent years, my mother and I have changed my mobile phone several times. I would like to use Aunt’s platform to record the process of changing my cell phone to my parents every year, and share it with my friends who have the same needs. Before writing an article for the mother to buy the Xiaomi 4C in 2015, I should have written another one for the dad to change the red rice note4 in 2016, but it was shelved because it was lazy. From the beginning of this article formally made a series, I hope that the next year will be updated one, the single year is the old woman to change mobile phones, double years is to change for the father.

The first batch of Xiaomi 4C in 2015 after the first batch to buy a set for the mother to use it has been nearly two years, although Xiaolong 4C equipped with Xiaolong 808 can still meet the use of WeChat, photo, QQ music, call, etc. Basic functions, but the standard 16G flash memory of the year is already overwhelmed, and as MIUI continues to upgrade more and more bloated (like millet also realized this, now the news is that MIUI9 will lose weight), the system slows down It is also inevitable. In light of the rigid demand of the current dual SIM card, the SIM card slot expansion through the TF card feels a bit troublesome, and it is also approaching the 2 year smartphone replacement cycle, so it is decided to upgrade the mother a few months in advance. .

First of all, the conclusion was that in the first buying of JD.com, I bought a 6+64G version of Limestone in May and May.

This article is divided into two parts, the first article is about the first half of 2017, the idea of ​​purchasing old machines below 3,000 yuan, the next article is a plus five sun single, the advantages and disadvantages of the summary, Tucao and compared with iphone7.

In the past two years, various smart phone manufacturers have not slowed down the pace of mobile phone hardware stacking. Considering that the mother's mobile phone generally takes two years, the configuration should not be too low, at least to a level above average, and the mother should There is no demand for the game, in fact, it does not use the latest flagship configuration, especially the GPU does not require high. According to the mother's needs and current market conditions, the first step is to determine the basic hardware configuration of the mobile phone.

1. SOC, delineating Xiaolong 821, 660, 835, eliminating Xiaolong 625, 626, 652, 653 and other mid-end SOCs that will be eliminated by 660 immediately. MediaTek did not come up with any competitive SOC in the past year. It's also true that Kirin 960 is good, but for the sake of exclusion, there will be an elaboration of choosing a brand in the back.

2. RAM and ROM, 4G-6G RAM, 64G ROM, preferably UFS.

3, the camera part, it is indigestion does not matter, the key is the image quality to achieve a level above the middle.

4, the system version and UI, at this stage is best Andrews 7, the company has a certain strength and good after-sales service awareness, the next two years can be updated to the updated version of Android in a timely manner, custom UI requirements in line with national conditions ground gas, taking into account the MIUI My mother spent several years. In fact, the first choice must be MIUI.

5, fingerprint recognition, no matter the front and back, but easy to use is the basic requirement, the fingerprint of the elderly is not as clear as the young people, so we must recognize the high rate and speed.

6, the screen, for the elderly, the screen is large, the word is king, after all, the elderly are the natural law of the old flower eyes, it must be more than 5.5, taking into account the portability should not be too great. Resolution Considering the screen quality, power consumption and other comprehensive factors, 6-inch or less does not force 2K, and the display effect is decent enough, without deliberate pursuit.

7, battery and charging, the bigger the battery the better, reducing the number of charging, this is actually very important, because the elderly often do not pay attention to the use of electricity, often will not charge in time, nor carry the habit of charging treasure, (as A 4S, 6, 7 and 3 iPads, 2 Macbooks, Apple users along the way, in this BS Apple, obviously can do big battery, three years ago, Apple is the leading industry, now look, in addition to video, SoC can still have a bit of advantage, and many other aspects can no longer meet the market demand, especially the ease of use and grounding gas is behind the Android camp.) Charging must support fast charge, at least QC2.0.

8. Full Netcom because one of the two biggest hobbies after the mother retired is tourism. Her footprints have traveled half of the earth so far, so full Netcom is a must. The more countries that support the better, the good 6-mode mobile phones have been Determined as the content of the new national standard.

9, on the issue of buying, because the mother went to the United States in September, so set a time limit for purchase, can be purchased before the beginning of August, leaving a month to adapt to the new mobile phone time is enough.

10, brand, after-sales can not be guaranteed to exclude small brands, domestic first-line, second-tier brands and boutique Internet brands.

11, price, within 3000.

Basic needs are raised, then use the exclusion method to delineate specific brands and products, first entertain.

1. The first-line brands excluded Huawei because Mate7 gave me a very bad impression. It took two years and Ka Cheng-hsing, and it was very uncomfortable for Huawei to show off and ignore consumers in the flash memory. Become a standard mobile phone within the domestic public servants and state-owned system, leading to a serious brand premium, similar to the configuration of the mobile phone compared to some other brands cost-effective (in fact, glory V9 if not flash memory, or will be finalists of the final list) . The OPPO and VIVO said that they rely on advertising, marketing, and offline information asymmetry, with low prices and high prices.

2. Strong second-tier brands, excluding Meizu, and being trapped by SOC problems, Meizu has been a bit stagnant for nearly a year, and I am afraid the outlook is worrying. LeTV, the company's stormy prospects are worrisome. TCL, Jinli is basically unable to find any bright spots, belonging to the lower line with high prices.

Finalists:

Millet, ZTE (Nubia), Yi Jia, Hammer, ZUK (Dad Lenovo), 360 (although reputation has been bad, but barely considered an alternative).

Because OPPO R11 monopolized the Snapdragon 660 for two months, resulting in various products that could not be listed on the basis of Snapdragon 660 before September. This would have resulted in a new generation of mid-range mobile phones in 2017 that had not been selected. Equipped with Xiaolong 821 2016 flagship machine or equipped with 835 flagship machine in the first half of 2017, in fact, the mother does not play games, 835 is absolutely useless for her, there will be no use of 852 or 821 in one year. Strong, but there are really too few options available. If you buy later in August 2017, then there should be a large number of 660s that will be listed, and it is estimated that most of them will be under 2,000 yuan, and the amount of supply should be large, generally do not need to panic buy

After screening again, the shortlisted products are:

1, using Xiaolong 821's 2016 flagship: Xiaomi note2, ZUK edge, hammer M1L (Flash only 32G barely short-listed), one plus 3T (has been out of stock, and the future should not be re-production), millet 5S PLUS.

2, the use of Xiao Long 835's flagship in 2017, currently only millet 6 (although the cost is higher, but the screen is helpless 5.2 is too small, can only be ruled out), Nubian Z17 and a plus 5 listed. It is said that due to capacity reasons, Xiaolong 835 is in addition to Samsung's open supply (who let Samsung foundry is the world’s largest shipments, there is a layer of meaning is that Qualcomm in order to limit the sale of Samsung's own SOC so the two sides reached a compromise), do not home All are limited queuing supplies, so it is estimated that the next one or two months may be difficult to open their homes.

In the end, after layer screening (in fact, Xiaolong 835 on the market is also not worth picking), one plus five or Nubia Z17, which one to grab the first to buy which eventually grabbed one plus five for the first time, so One plus five won.

The analysis table of the advantages and disadvantages of each model (mainly referring to the evaluation of each website and its own subjective judgment):

Summarize the shortcomings of the focus on the advantages and disadvantages of the model

1, Xiaomi note2, 4 + 64 version of Jingdong 618 had done during the 2319 yuan, but the feeling of adding a few hundred on the 835, the price is still almost, and the impact of the screen door led to note2 sales far below note1 generation, can It is said that in recent years, Xiaomi has failed to compare with a flagship machine. It is estimated that after two months of Xiaomi's 660 large screen machine (probably 6P or red rice note5), note2 may soon stop production. 5S PLUS is really detrimental to the positioning of millet, if included in the red rice series is completely correct.

2, ZUK edge can be described as the price of the recent Aunt God magic machine, 6+64 version 618 made two times during the 1699 yuan (value as high as 85% -95%), the previous generation flagship configuration, quasi comprehensive screen (than MIX and S8 It is still worse, but at least it is the ratio of ultra-high screen). The manufacturing process and materials are also more refined. The product itself has no negative news at present. Although Lenovo has given up the ZUK brand, there will be some unknown in the future system upgrade. The mobile phone has begun to use ZUI, perhaps Lenovo conscience can continue to provide system upgrade of ZUK mobile phone one or two years?) But fortunately ZUK can also brush other ROM, such as Meizu Flyme, should be the same price, but I missed 1699 The price just grabbed one plus five, so it passed the ZUK edge.

3, hammer M1L, originally I used to be very disgusted with the hammer and the old Luo, aversion to the way of winning eyeballs and feelings over the years to market (such as nuts pro conference "M1L is a shame in the history of the hammer design" in raising nuts pro At the same time completely ignored the old user's feelings, but also caused a lot of netizens' resentment). The hammer itself is limited in strength and funding, and I do have a slight worry about its prospects. But seeing so many years of hammer in the product design, system of intentions, persistence and innovation, in fact, has greatly changed my negative perception of the hammer, playing inside is hope that the hammer can get better and better. The 4+32 version of M1L achieved a price of 1449 twice during the 618 period. It has been considered to be very cost-effective. We must know that many mainstream 625, 626, and 653 products in the market are even more expensive than this. In general, M1L has a lower price than ZUK edge, slightly lower configuration, slightly inferior workmanship, materials (plastic back cover), and better UI, considering that 32G flash may not be enough in the future, and 2K Because of the power consumption of the screen, it is difficult to choose because it is almost equal to the ZUK edge.
