2022 has passed in the blink of an eye. Looking back at the entire smartphone circle, all major brands have delivered a satisfactory answer at the end of the year. Every manufacturer has a flagship product, and each of these models has a different positioning and has its own characteristics. The product I want to talk about today is the Honor 80 GT, the flagship product released by Honor in the last few days of the year. After using this phone for a few days, I have an obvious feeling that it is "stable". It performs very stable in all aspects. There is a lot worth talking about in terms of screen, performance, and system. I have also summarized five advantages and one disadvantage of the whole machine. I will share it today as a reference for friends who are interested in this phone.
Advantages of Honor 80 GT 1: The appearance design is simple and capable, elegant and durable
In order to pursue differentiation, the appearance design of today’s smartphones can be said to be more and more fancy, but you have to admit that the most attractive ones are still the simplest designs, Honor 80 GT is taking a simple route this time, with a rectangular camera module, a straight body outline, a straight screen with a hole punched in the front, and a pure silver frame. There is no overly exaggerated design, but it is these simple elements that make the whole machine look very grand, upright, upright, and revealing its texture in its calmness.
Of course, if you think Honor 80 It would be a big mistake if the GT didn't put much thought into its design. The exquisite glass back panel incorporates the laser reflective technology of Light Rain Meteor, the surface of the frame is sandblasted, and the upper and lower sides are exquisitely high-gloss chamfered. Reflective partitions are added to the vertically arranged cameras, and the extremely narrow screen chin on the front all reveals that the designer has polished the texture of this phone. It is not fancy, but it is very attentive. Here are a few more pictures for everyone to enjoy.
In terms of hand feel, the weight of the whole machine is 195g and the thickness is 7.9mm. For a high-performance mobile phone, the weight and thickness are very well controlled. Moreover, because the back panel of the fuselage is slightly curved, the outline transition between it and the frame is also very good, making it very comfortable to hold.
Honor 80 GT Advantage 2: The screen quality is full and the display effect is excellent
A good screen is a must-have for flagship mobile phones. In 2022, this is already the consensus of every mobile phone manufacturer. You can also see that all major manufacturers have very high-volume screens, but some are volume parameters and some are volume experiences. Before I knew the parameters of the screen of Honor 80 GT, I knew it was a very good screen just based on my visual experience.
First of all, in terms of look and feel, the display of this screen is very delicate, the font display is clear and sharp, and the edges are smooth and natural. From my personal experience, this display effect is not created by the resolution, but by the manufacturer's adjustment. In addition, in terms of color display, the entire screen is very transparent, with natural transitions between light and dark, and extremely high color accuracy. To achieve such a display effect, it must meet the three indicators of high color depth, high color accuracy, and high brightness. At this point, we need to pull out the parameters of this screen and brighten it up.
The Honor 80 GT has a screen size of 6.67 inches, a resolution of 2400×1080, a color display of 1.07 billion colors, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, a local peak brightness of 1400nit, a contrast ratio of 5 million:1, 120Hz variable refresh rate, 16000 steps of brightness adjustment, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The parameters are listed here as a reference for everyone, but what I want to express is that if the screen parameters of Honor 80 GT can be described as excellent, then the experience of this screen, including visual comfort and healthy eye protection performance, can be said to be the first echelon of domestic products. If you are interested, you can go offline and experience the real machine to find out.
One thing that must be said is that the screen borders of the Honor 80 GT are very well controlled this time. The upper and left and right borders are very narrow, and the chin is slightly wider, but they are also controlled very well. As a straight-screen mobile phone, this time the front screen-to-body ratio is controlled, and the visual impact is still very good.
Honor 80 GT advantage three: Super frame dual-core support, powerful and stable performance
Today's smartphone processors have reached an era of excess performance. What is tested is the manufacturer's chip tuning and heat dissipation. In daily use, the performance of mainstream flagship chips is sufficient, and the main differentiation performance is in the gaming experience. When it comes to gaming experience, I currently think the most reliable solution is a more reasonable heat dissipation stack and the installation of a discrete graphics chip. The Honor 80 GT takes this route.
In terms of performance this time, the Honor 80 GT is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ processor, a full-blooded version of LPDDR5 memory, an overclocked version of UFS 3.1 flash memory, and a super-frame independent graphics chip. This is a very high-standard performance combination. Even without looking at the heat dissipation configuration, this combination can already give a pretty good gaming experience.
In Master Lu , the running score is 1.11 million points, and the AnTuTu running score is 1.06 million points. This result is very good among the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ models. Of course, running scores belong to running scores, and experience belongs to experience. We still need to use games to test the specific performance of this performance combination, including what surprises frame rate can bring us with the independent graphics chip.
The first is "Genshin Impact", the average frame rate for half an hour is 59 frames, and the maximum temperature of the body test reached 45 degrees. During the whole process, the screen brightness of and dropped slightly. Other than that, the performance was very stable.
In Honor of Kings, the entire half-hour process was basically stable at 120 frames. The entire frame rate graph was almost a straight line, and the temperature was about 38 degrees. Judging from the actual game performance, the performance of Honor 80 GT is very stable and the temperature control is excellent. This is due to the third-generation graphene technology adopted by Honor 80 GT. The thermal conductivity is greatly improved and the heat dissipation efficiency is increased by 50%. 4701mm2 of graphene fully covers the motherboard chip area and battery area, which can disperse the temperature distribution on the back to the greatest extent, thereby achieving the best heat dissipation effect.
Honor 80 GT has added an independent display chip this time. The biggest function of the independent display chip is to use the chip's algorithm to insert frames. While ensuring the image quality and smoothness of the image, it can better share the power consumption of the chip. In other words, while ensuring the image quality of the game high frame rate , the power consumption of the chip can be reduced. Reduce the load of GPU. From the actual test, we can see that the same 120-frame image quality output of " King of Glory ", the power consumption of 120 frames of dual-core inserted frame is obviously lower than the power consumption of the original 120 frames. Before The former is about 2.7W, but the latter reaches 3.3W. It can be seen that the independent display chip plays a very obvious role. It can indeed improve the image quality and frame rate while reducing the chip load. This is very effective for the heat dissipation of the whole machine and the stable output performance of the whole machine in games.
Advantage 4 of Honor 80 GT: MagicOS 7.0 system, smooth, smart and considerate
Honor 80G is equipped with the new MagicOS 7.0 system, MagicOS 7.0 The overall system is very good in terms of fluency and ease of use, and some very practical functions have been added, such as the Honor note function, which can quickly record study or meeting content, and also adds voice shorthand and global collection, including the ability to share it with notebooks and computers for editing and modification anytime and anywhere.
Another thing I like more is Honor’s editing function, which can easily combine multiple pictures and materials with one-click AI to create a blockbuster video, and intelligently generate quick vlog clips for easy real-time sharing. It also supports professional and in-depth video editing and editing, such as picture-in-picture, speed change, special effects, filters, etc. These operations can be completed directly in the album photo editing, which is very convenient for users who like shooting, video editing, and video sharing.
At the same time, MagicOS 7.0's YOYO suggestions are also quite easy to use. It can achieve real-time deep learning for functions that are often used by users in daily life, including work attendance, showing payment codes, express pickup, subway work, commuter cards, etc. After the user reaches the designated location or time, it can proactively remind the user to present it. It is very smart, saving the user the trouble of opening and calling independently, and greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of human-computer interaction.
Honor 80 GT five advantages: IMX800 super large bottom sensor, excellent picture quality, meeting the needs of multi-scenario shooting
In fact, for a mobile phone with positioning performance, people often have low expectations for its photography, but one fact is that when users use mobile phones, their needs are often diversified. Even if the positioning of mobile phones focuses on performance, then the photography experience must not be ambiguous. The main camera of Honor 80 GT is equipped with IMX800 this time. The size of this sensor is 1:1.49 inches, the number of pixels is 54 million, and it supports four-in-one equivalent pixels of 2.0μm. The quality of this sensor is still very good. Coupled with Honor's Image Engine computational imaging platform algorithm tuning, in terms of imaging style, I think it is more realistic and pure.
Under normal light conditions during the day, the overall imaging style is more realistic. The color restoration of sky buildings, including plants, is very good, and there is no tendency to be oversaturated. This is an imaging style that I personally prefer, and this sensor is very good at presenting the details of the picture. After the film is completed, even if you zoom in, you can still retain various rich details.
I think this time the shooting experience is also good. The IMX800 supports full-pixel focusing technology, coupled with the performance blessing of Snapdragon 8 Gen1+, the focusing speed is very fast, and the capture and continuous shooting effect is very good. For some fleeting scenes, it can be instantly captured into a movie, which I like very much.
In terms of night scenes, this time the tuning is more pure. The black image of the sky is very clean without too much noise, and the suppression of some highlights is also very good. Generally speaking, the camera performance of Honor 80 GT is good enough. As a mobile phone that focuses on performance, it can fully meet the needs of daily use in taking photos in multiple scenes. Here are various sample photos taken in multiple scenes for your reference.
Honor 80 GT Disadvantages: No optical image stabilization and wireless charging
After talking about the five advantages, let’s talk about the disadvantages. In fact, this time, Honor 80 The overall configuration of the GT is already very poor, and it gives everything it deserves. If I have to talk about shortcomings, I think the first is that the main camera does not have optical image stabilization, but this is not a big deal in the actual shooting experience, because friends who know a little about photography know that by increasing the focus speed and shutter, the lack of optical image stabilization can be completely compensated. In actual use, we rarely encounter extremely demanding scenes for lens image stabilization, so optical image stabilization is really not as important as everyone thinks.
Other shortcomings: I think if the back cover can be made of matte material, it will be better in terms of fingerprint contamination. Then there is the lack of wireless charging, which is a small regret. However, considering the actual frequency of use of wireless charging, including the positioning of this machine, it is debatable whether this is a shortcoming. What do you think?
The above is my overall experience of using this Honor 80 GT. In fact, Honor rarely makes mobile phones purely for positioning performance. This time, the Honor 80 GT is a bold attempt by Honor. I think Honor has been very successful this time. It has fully maximized the overall performance, heat dissipation, screen, and system, giving it the highest specification experience. Under this premise, the weight and hand control of the whole machine are very excellent. It can be said that Honor has achieved enough performance while ensuring a comprehensive use experience in other aspects. For users who like performance and the ultimate gaming experience, Honor 80 GT is a very good choice. With this direction, Honor's future models that focus on performance and gaming experience will be even more worth looking forward to. What do you think?
