5-inch／／9.9mm／／Android 4.0 Lenovo Music Phone S880 Evaluation
When the intelligent hardware configuration is soaring, the size of mobile phone screen is also rising rapidly. At present, although the iOS camp is still at the level of 3. 0, in contrast, mobile devices on Android and Windows Phone platforms have stepped into the big screen field one after another. Especially on the Android platform, when Samsung GALAXY Note appeared with a 5.3-inch large screen, people could not even tell whether it was a mobile phone or a tablet. However, in any case, the emergence of this kind of cross-border mobile phone with vague positioning has indeed made users experience the fun of swimming in the mobile Internet in the high-definition era, and has gradually become a bridge connecting smartphones and tablets.
Evaluation of 5-inch big screen music Phone S880
As a well-known domestic mobile phone manufacturer, Lenovo certainly saw people’s demand for large-screen mobile phones and the development direction of the smart phone market. Just in mid-June, Lenovo officially released its 5-inch screen smartphone, Le Phone S880. In addition to the large screen, it also has an ultra-thin fashion appearance of 9.9mm, supports dual-mode dual standby, is equipped with a 1GHz Cortex A9 core processor, is equipped with an Android4.0 operating system, and has a 5 megapixel camera and a battery with a capacity of 2250mAh. In addition, in order to give full play to the function of 5-inch screen in audio-visual entertainment, Music Phone S880 is also equipped with front dual speakers and analog gyroscope.

Front: big screen "leading the way"
The overall impression of Lenovo Music Phone is that it is a big word. This is mainly related to its 5.0-inch large screen. But if you look carefully, you will find that Music Phone has a soft breath in the atmosphere. When you hold it in your hand, it is not an alternative feeling, but a natural beauty. Of course, this may just be the charm of the "pearl white" color scheme, and Lenovo also provides users with the color scheme of starry night black to choose from.

The front of the fuselage is equipped with a WVGA cool large screen with a resolution of 800×480 pixels. Under normal observation, the color reproduction of the screen is still ideal and the graininess is not obvious. We try to adjust the screen to the brightest and darkest respectively, and we can see that the effect of the change is very obvious, which also means that Music Phone has good adaptability in different environments. However, this screen is also slightly regrettable, and the viewing angle is not ideal.

Front dual speakers
Lenovo Music Phone has a metal earpiece design at the top of the screen. At the same time, it is equipped with a 300,000-pixel front camera at the top left of the fuselage. In addition, you can see the light distance sensor and Lenovo trademark. At the bottom of the screen, we found that Lenovo Music Phone is not equipped with physical buttons, but virtual buttons are set in the screen. In addition, the front dual speakers are arranged at the bottom of the front of the fuselage, which can ensure excellent audio-visual entertainment playback effect.
Back: white high-gloss paint highlights fresh and beautiful.
Let’s take a look at the back of the fuselage. The back of the pearl white version of Lenovo Music Phone is made of white high-gloss paint plastic, which will make people feel a crystal clear and white as porcelain. In terms of details, the side of the mobile phone is embellished by the matte NCVM (electroplated) middle frame, which also highlights the aesthetic feeling of the mobile phone in fashion. In addition, although Music Phone has a huge body, its thickness is only 9.9mm, which undoubtedly reflects Lenovo’s pursuit of the ultimate side of the product.

There is a 5 megapixel camera on the top of the back, but it is not equipped with an LED flash. Below is the Lenovo trademark. The design of the whole back is very simple. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack, power/screen lock button and MicroUSB interface on the top of the fuselage, and a metal volume adjustment button on the right side of the fuselage, which feels crisp when clicked.

The rear thickness of the fuselage is 9.9 mm.
In the lower right corner of the front of the fuselage, you will see a groove that can open the back cover smoothly. Lenovo Music Phone is equipped with a 2250mAh battery, which supports WCDMA and GSM dual-mode dual standby. And which card slot corresponds to which network segment is also clearly visible. In addition, the device also supports the expansion of the maximum capacity of 32GB.

Actual combat: carrying/talking/holding renderings
In order to show the actual operation experience of Music Phone more intuitively. We have also drawn up several scenarios for actual combat demonstration. The first is the portability test. The author tries to put it in an ordinary trouser pocket, and we can see that the user can carry it normally. Because the fuselage is relatively large, it is inevitable to put it to your ear during the call, which will lead to a high return rate.
Can be put in the trouser pocket completely.

The size of LePhone mobile phone is 142x78x9.9mm, and its weight with battery is 197 2g. For female users, this weight is a little heavy, so it is recommended to use both hands to operate. However, for male users, this weight can make them have a more stable grip. In addition, when we hold the mobile phone horizontally, the prominent part of the palm rest at the bottom of the mobile phone can play an advantage, and holding it in our hands can avoid blocking the front double speakers.
System: Le Magic Android 4.0 do whatever you want
In addition to the large screen and ultra-thin 9.9mm body, another major feature of Lenovo Music Phone is that it has built-in the latest Le Magic Android 4.0 operating system. Compared with the previous Android2.3, the freedom of setting content is higher. In addition, the most familiar four-leaf clover main interface has become a small plug-in window, and users can choose whether to stay or not.
Screen Lock Interface/Clover Plug-in
In the unlock interface of Music Phone, we were surprised to see the display of weather animation effect. Generally speaking, the design of unlocking interface is still close to native. We can not only quickly enter the main interface, but also choose to turn on the camera module.
Change the shortcut key of four-leaf clover/main interface display
After entering the main interface, you will see the classic four-leaf clover plug-in. Although it has become a plug-in, we can still set various shortcut programs on the four-leaf clover. The icon design is still circular, but we have clearly seen that the overall operating style of the main interface is closer to the native Android4.0.
Select Widget/Application List
Interface: Desktop settings to create personalized UI.
The drop-down menu will display various notification items, and also support quick opening of common functions. In the application, we will see all the applications, and we can also add practical desktop plug-ins to widgets. It is worth mentioning that when we click the thumb on the right side of the widget, the system will also select your favorite application and recommend it to you. Of course, this requires us to operate in a networked environment.

Clicking the menu key on the desktop will bring up various commonly used function options. Music Phone provides a variety of themes and can be switched freely. The desktop setting is a highlight of Le Magic4.0 Android interface. This includes theme settings, scene settings, personalized settings, special effects settings and advanced settings. If you are good at creating personalized systems, you might as well work harder here.

Finally, let’s take a look at the dial-up interface and SMS input interface of Phone. The layout of the dial-up interface is more scientific and technological, but I personally feel slightly compact, but fortunately it does not affect the actual touch operation. In the short message interface, Lenovo provides users with the popular ones at present, which ensures the stability and fluency of input.

Application Details/Store Classification
As a resource station promoted by Lenovo, Music Store is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is about providing resources, which are listed in the form of recommendation, ranking, classification and special area. The download interface will cover application screenshots and introduction content. However, in order to meet the needs of users, Lenovo also added interactive communities to music stores, allowing users to freely comment.
Le security/super tool
The popularity of smart phones has also made mobile phones a privacy tool for users. Therefore, how to protect your important information is the most important thing. Le Security can not only intercept harassing phone calls and filter spam messages, but also actively intercept charging behavior and set corresponding security permissions for its own applications. In addition, if you still don’t trust your information, you can also use the Backup Recovery program to back up the information to the SD card, including contacts, information, call records and applications.

Music service is a set of service system provided by Lenovo for users. If users encounter problems, they can find answers in frequently asked questions. At the same time, we can also check the latest Lenovo official news in the information announcement. The testing center allows users to carry out detailed testing on all parts of the mobile phone, which provides a guarantee for providing good after-sales service.

Entertainment: HD video test/5 megapixel sample
Next, we tested the audio and video playback function of Lenovo Music Phone. Since it’s a big screen, it’s still unique to watch high-definition movies with it. We tested 720p video, 1080p video and playing movies with our own. The results show that 720p video can be played very smoothly, but 1080p video can’t support it. Under the condition of connecting to the network, the playback effect of Youku is also very ideal.

Like many Android4.0 devices, Lenovo Music Phone can also experience a variety of camera functions in the Android4.0 system after upgrading the system. This 5 megapixel camera supports autofocus and digital zoom, and also adds HDR camera mode, which can take better photos in backlight environment.
Judging from the photo proofs, the color reproduction degree of the photo is still ideal, and the white balance and sharpness are also more accurate. In addition, when shooting an object at close range, we will see that the noise is better controlled in the picture.

Performance: 1GHz processor running minutes/battery life summary
In terms of hardware configuration, Lenovo Music Phone is equipped with a 1GHz MT6575 processor and a PowerVR SGX 531 GPU, supplemented by 512MB of memory. In addition, the device is also equipped with an Android4.0 customization system and a WVGA resolution screen. The following is the result of running scores. It can be seen that the performance of the device in the graphical performance test of Neocore is very outstanding, which also shows its strength in multimedia audio and video playback and games.
AnTuTu（）
AnTuTu, a super rabbit system evaluation, is specially designed for Android system, and the hardware of tablet computer runs away. It can run a complete test project with one click, and pass many performance tests such as memory performance, CPU integer performance, CPU floating-point performance, 2D and 3D drawing performance, database I/O, SD card reading and writing speed, and score the overall and individual hardware performance of the mobile phone. At the same time, upload scores and check the ranking of the device in the world.
Music Phone system information
The running score is 3765.
The reason why AnTuTu’s achievement is put in the first place is that it can not only show the comprehensive strength of hardware, but also provide the breakdown results for reference. RAM indicates the throughput of the machine for data operation, integer/floating-point performance of CPU indicates the computing capability of the processor, 2D/3D drawing performance indicates the rendering capability of the graphics processing chip for images, database I/O performance indicates the access efficiency of the processor and RAM to the database, and SD card writing/reading speed indicates the read-write capability of the body ROM. (At present, this test requires ROM free space greater than 300MB, so if the body storage space /ROM is less than 300MB, this achievement will be ignored, but the total score will be achieved. Theoretically, the higher the score, the stronger the performance.
Vellamo
Vellamo is a benchmark application developed by Qualcomm (similar to Neocore), which allows you to test the performance and stability of, including Java script performance, rendering, networking and user interface. The result of this tool also includes several sub-items, but we only take the total score. The higher the score, the higher the optimization degree of mobile phone pairs and the better web browsing experience.
The performance test score of Vellamo browser is 1180 points.
Neocore
Neocore is a graphical performance benchmark software based on -ES 1.1. After the software is opened, an animation will be played. At the end of the animation, the software will evaluate the machine running the software and get an FPS value. The higher the value, the stronger the mobile phone hardware can handle dynamic images. Accordingly, the higher the screen resolution, the more pixels per unit area need to be rendered, and the greater the load on the graphics chip. In other words, in the case of the same graphics processing chip, the higher the screen resolution, the lower the Neocore value, and the two are in a trade-off relationship.
Neocore’s graphics performance test score is outstanding/supports 5-point touch.
Linpack
Linpack has become the most popular benchmark for testing the floating-point performance of high-performance computer systems in the world. The floating-point performance of a high-performance computer is evaluated by using gauss elimination to solve a system of linear algebraic equations with density of n degree in one variable. Compared with computers, the Linpack software of Android mobile phone version is relatively simplified, and the latest version only contains single-threaded and multi-threaded tests. As the name implies, the stronger the processor’s computing power, the higher the score. The advantages of dual-core and even future multi-core processors are reflected in the multi-thread testing part, and the test results are given in floating-point operations per second (Flops).

NenaMark
NenaMark is a graphics processing capability testing tool for Android smart phones. It tests the hardware acceleration capability of the graphics processing unit of mobile phones by playing a video Demo. Nenamark1 is suitable for all terminals running Android 2.x version system; Nenamark2 is suitable for high-end Android devices equipped with PowerVR SGX 540 and above graphics chips.

Lateral comparison of test results
In terms of battery life, Le Phone is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 2250mAh. At 100% power, after 8 hours of high-intensity testing (talking, surfing the Internet, video, running minutes and taking photos), the power is still 72%. Therefore, under normal use, the equipment should be able to reach a standby time of 2 days.
Evaluation summary:
The above is our all-round evaluation content for Lenovo Music Phone. In fact, overall, this product has achieved the effect of "surprise is greater than regret". Fashionable ultra-thin body, front dual speakers, 5-inch large screen, brand-new Le Magic Android 4.0 system and many Lenovo music services are all surprises.
