What other interesting Android machines are out there in the end-play era (solicited post)

Apologies (to those who can see the current blog)

The whole second half of the year I spent my energy in the company to develop a low-code platform for device monitoring and query system, this project is completely developed by me alone, covering the front and back end, involving S7, DB, TCP, Websocket, Http, etc. highly customizable and configurable monitoring requirements, so the front and back spent several months, the leadership side of the report is also a number of times before the adoption of this development! program. Luckily, the program was completed in October and went live in November, improving the company’s project delivery efficiency in this area, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to the second half of this project is completely in the work time development, I have no way to disclose a line of code out, much less open source, share, and thus affect the blog side, the second half of the blog post technical force meat visible decline, but also please bear with you. Please bear with me. It will get better later.

前言

I’ve been bound to the Apple ecosystem since my parents bought me my first iPhone 5s after I graduated high school. But for someone like me, who usually likes to toss and turn, an Apple phone, obviously, won’t do.

So I’ve also purchased a variety of Android phones one after the other, which can be found in theThe equipment I used to use all those years ago (keep it updated)Make a view.

XZ2C (current backup)

  • CPU: Snapdragon 845
  • Memory: 4G
  • Dimensions: 135 x 65 x 12.1 mm
  • Weight: 169g
  • Price: ¥ 400
  • Cons: 4G of RAM

To make a poor analogy, if you compare cell phones to ancient wives and concubines, my main phone, the iPhone 15, is the wife, and the XZ2C is my favorite concubine.

I may have to take my iPhone 15 out a lot of the time, but I’ll play with the XZ2C when I don’t have to.

What makes it so magical?

  • Three selectable card slots, dual SIM dual standby support
  • Snapdragon 845 processor, barely adequate without gaming
  • Square screen, no useless R-corner curvature, no cut-outs
  • Longer screen (vs. XZ1C), comfortable to swipe through the streams
  • Compact body with great grip
  • Type-C, great, no words needed!
  • Adequate battery life (use adb to disable useless system apps)
  • Fairly fast fingerprint recognition (faster than Samsung Galaxy Note 10+’s on-screen fingerprint)
  • Android 9, most software is still supported
  • Native-like system, pure and ad-free
  • Super nice white screen panel (white control ecstasy)
  • You can get it for ¥400 (docomo version, no telecom support, but you can add money to get the Hong Kong version)

drawbacks

  • Touch malfunction, the trigger frequency is random, about 1/10 ~ 1/20, turn off the screen and relight can be restored.
  • With 4G RAM, running a WeChat is a bit of a struggle. After all, the domestic 3A
  • GPS is not working, I don’t know if it’s because of the docomo version, but I can’t get GPS signal for offline navigation.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack

As you can see, it’s fatally flawed, so the XZ2C isn’t going to be able to cope on most occasions when you’re out and about, but as a back-up for a better information browsing and viewing experience by installing a variety of streamlined APKs, it’s more than up to the task.

I’ve been using this phone for over a year now on and off and I still love it.

geologic fault

The XZ2C is a one-of-a-kind, with its square, no-dig-hole screen, compact size, native-like system, Dual SIM, Type-C, there are almost no downsides to this phone, and it’s biggest shortcoming: 4G of RAM, which is the biggest pain in the ass for me at the moment.

I’ve also been collecting all sorts of alternatives to old Android small-screen flagships lately.

Xperia 5 V

  • CPU: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
  • Memory: 8G
  • Dimensions: 154 x 68 x 8.6
  • Weight: 183g
  • Price: ¥ 4188
  • Cons: Expensive (that’s my problem)

Zenfone 10

  • CPU: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
  • Memory: 8G
  • Dimensions: 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4
  • Weight: 172g
  • Price: ¥ 5699
  • Cons: Expensive (that’s my problem)

I wouldn’t consider the Zenfone 9, that screen …… buy it back and re-sell it to the same fate

The above two are overpriced and I’m even seriously considering the XZ2C’s contemporaneous flagship:

XZ2P

From left to right: XZ2P, XZ2, XZ2C

  • CPU: Snapdragon 845
  • Memory: 6G
  • Size: 158 x 80 x 11.9
  • Weight: 236g
  • Price: ¥ 648
  • Cons: Too heavy and wide to hold for long periods of time

A really small screen, so hard to find.

Square screen, native-like, small screen, Type-C, sexual performance, more RAM (>4G)

Last but not least: Reasonable price (after all the spare) !

Wondering if you all have a better option?
