High value / ground gas light flagship Samsung C9 Pro Reviews

[IT168 evaluation] compared to domestic brands, the products launched by international brands are always less grounded, especially the lack of localized function, it is always the focus of criticism. However, Samsung seems to be an exception. With the continuous investment in the Chinese market in recent years, Samsung has formed a complete localization system from product development, design, production, and sales. Through research on the habits of Chinese consumers, a variety of products have been introduced. The pin has a product optimized for sex, and the Galaxy C series is an excellent representative of them.

The Samsung Galaxy C series was launched in May this year, including the Galaxy C5 and Galaxy C7. Its design pursues the style of thin and light metal, and it also caters to consumers' aesthetics. The function has also added a variety of watermarks and red envelopes to remind The localization function, as well as the flagship features such as Samsung Zhifu and Fast Charge, have become strong competitors in the mid-range market. With the end of the year's consumer boom, Samsung Galaxy C Series has renewed its efforts and launched its flagship Galaxy C9 Pro. We are also curious that after half a year's development, Samsung C9 Pro will go further in its localization. The following answers will be revealed through evaluation.

As the flagship product of the department, the configuration is always a topic that can not be bypassed. Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro also shows enough sincerity, including the first Xiaolong 653 processor, 6GB of large memory, the following detailed understanding through a table .

Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro main parameters operating system TouchWiz UI, based on Android 6.0
Network standard full Netcom, dual card dual standby body size 162.9 *80.7 *6.9 mm
Weight 189g Screen 6.0 inches 1920*1080 resolution Super AMOLED Camera Dual 16 million pixels F/1.9 aperture, support phase focus processor Snapdragon 653 Body memory RAM: 6GB ROM: 64GB (support extended to 256GB) Features AlwaysOn, fingerprint Recognition, Samsung Zhifu battery 4000mAh body color gold, rose gold listed price 3199 yuan [View]

As you can see, the Samsung C9 Pro features distinctive features in the same price model. Equipped with Xiao Long 653 processor, this processor is also Qualcomm just released in October, located in the sub flagship of audio and video entertainment, with 6GB of running memory is the first attempt of Samsung products, even beyond any of its flagship phone, It shows the confidence and determination that Samsung has invested in this product. Below, we take the lead from the most direct look to help you interpret the Samsung C9 Pro.

Appearance industrial design

The appearance of Samsung C9 Pro combined with the current mobile phone design trend of thin, simple, in the process of excellence, the overall perception is very fine.

Samsung C9 Pro's front panel design pursues a proportion of screens, adopts a 5.7-inch full-HD Super AMOLED screen, ultra-narrow frame, covers a layer of 2.5D glass, and has a more rounded transition at the edge, with a crystal clear and dynamic look.

On the airframe, the Samsung C9 Pro uses a one-piece metal body, and the body thickness is controlled at 6.9mm, which is quite thin and light. A closer look at the border actually has three planes to connect. This three-plane design makes the phone fit more closely to the palm and feels more comfortable. And because of the unique light and shadow effect of the three planes, it presents a sexy waist line, making the look of the thin body more outstanding. This delicate processing will undoubtedly require high CNC machining difficulty. This shows Samsung's design and craftsmanship.

Samsung C9 Pro's antenna design is a highlight of the appearance, using the MSA (Micro-Slit-Atena) micro slit antenna technology, making the past common in the metal body antenna leucorrhea was replaced by three thin lines, this design Realization requires more precise CNC machining and nano-injection molding processes, and the process is more complicated. From the results, due to the weakening of the separation of the previous leucorrhea, the whole body is stronger and the metal body is more pure.

Slightly regrettable is that Samsung C9 Pro's camera is slightly prominent, which is also understandable for the current mobile phone design, after all, the camera's focusing performance requires a larger volume of motor to support, in the pursuit of 6.9mm slim, it is necessary Make some compromises.

The Samsung C9 Pro card slot design is also very interesting, with a dual nano SIM card slot, there is a memory card expansion slot, not the original and or slot design, eliminating the dual card and storage expansion can not have both Hey.

The Samsung C9 Pro uses a USB Type-C interface, and the location is not in the center of the bottom. It is likely that the guesswork is due to the fact that the frontal press fingerprinting has occupied a certain amount of space, thus affecting the layout of the USB Type-C interface. With dual speaker design (placed up and down), outstanding effect.


New TouchWiz UI Experience

As far as international brands are concerned, Samsung’s performance in system software is definitely the best. TouchWiz has long integrated local features such as yellow pages, harassing phone marks, and shows Samsung’s emphasis on the domestic market. The Samsung C9 Pro is also a step further. The user interface has been redesigned and the localization function has been improved according to the actual situation. The author will simply interpret it for you.

Simpler and lighter UI design

The new interface design is more youthful, whether it is the color of the wallpaper or the icon, all adopts lively and brisk colors. In the official software interface and the first-level menu, Samsung is more pursuing conciseness. The set-up project has obviously been reduced and it is lined with pure white. It looks like there are some Japanese minimalist styles. The animated effects are more soothing and natural, rather than straightforward and straightforward, with some more cleverness.

It should be noted that the new system has also been enhanced in system logic and ease of operation. For example, the previous quick setup bar was canceled, and the complicated setup options were summarized and streamlined. Finally, only 12 options were left in the setup menu. Compared to the previous option, up to 34 options, the information was not displayed. Over-complicated and operationally improved.

AlwaysOn function for the first time

The Samsung Super AMOLED screen has a self-luminous feature that allows some pixels to emit light alone, while other dark parts do not consume power. The Always On function is to take advantage of this advantage, and it can display status alerts in real time with very low power consumption at standby.

This function has been the standard of Samsung’s flagship models since its release at the beginning of the year. This time Samsung C9 Pro also joined this feature, which shows Samsung’s sincerity. Relying on Always On, Samsung C9 Pro can display clocks, calendars, reminders, wallpapers, etc. in the information screen state, which is both convenient and can highlight personality.

Shopping artifact - Pat Li Tao

In the camera, by swiping to the right, you can call out the "Pai Li Amoy" function. This is a feature that Samsung has in-depth cooperation with Taobao and is tailor-made for Chinese users who love online shopping. It is very intimate. Specifically, when a user uses a camera to capture an item, the user can identify the item in time and enter the corresponding purchase list. The price of the product information and the prices of the parties' merchants are clear at a glance. Imagine seeing a friend wearing a favorite item, and hindering the inconvenient face to ask for specific details. You may wish to use the Taoli Amoy feature, and the price and purchase channels are all available. Usually when shopping, encounter favorite goods also shoot it, indirectly played a role in comparison of goods, allowing users to buy more affordable.

WeChat video sharing is more convenient

Whether it is sharing a circle of friends or sending it to individuals, WeChat's small video sharing is a function that everyone often uses. However, the operation level of WeChat video sharing is relatively deep, and it is necessary to find the contact first, click “+”, and then select to share the video for shooting. Operation may have missed the shooting time, such as fireworks, performances, etc. Samsung C9 Pro directly integrates WeChat video sharing into the camera. Click on the lower left corner of the interface to enter the video capture. This simplifies the operation steps. Recording is completed directly into the sharing interface. It is convenient and timely, and it will not be annoying to miss.

Net Red Favorite: K song, live

In the live webcast and K song popular today, Samsung C9 Pro has also targeted optimization for such entertainment applications, such as karaoke applications such as sing and cool karaoke, accompanied by a headset with random gifts, during singing. The real-time ear-return function will be realized, that is, the singer can not only hear the accompaniment in the earphone but also hear his own singing voice. This has a good corrective effect for the singer's pitch and tempo and provides a more professional singing experience.

In addition to the above-mentioned new features, the red envelope assistant also has reservations, and also supports the flagship features such as Samsung Pay, full of sincerity.


16 million pixel camera imaging experience

Samsung C9 Pro's configuration in the camera is unobtrusive, both equipped with a 16 million-pixel camera, and both are F1.9 large aperture to ensure that the amount of light. The front 16 megapixel camera is enough to support beauty, social, live broadcasting and other applications. We don't focus too much on this front camera, and we help you resolve this same 16 million rear camera. , to see how its imaging strength.

From the perspective of the proofs, Samsung C9 Pro's exposure is adequate, and the blue sky is full of colors. Compared with Samsung’s preference for rich and intensive training, the overall color tends to be restored in real terms. Zooming in on detailed viewing, thanks to the resolution of 16 million pixels, the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancient architecture has been demonstrated, and the Xiangyun pattern has also been presented with a certain level.


Due to the large aperture of F1.9, the Samsung C9 Pro has a certain feature in terms of macro, phase focusing ensures the efficiency of focusing, making the subject and its details get accurate reduction, while the background has a certain degree of blur effect, prominent Subject, look at some proofs below.

Of course, during the use of that process, the Samsung C9 Pro also has some problems with occasional white balance of the white balance (in shooting green scenes), lack of automatic optimization under high contrast, and hopes to be resolved in the later firmware upgrade.

In addition to the good performance of camera imaging, Samsung C9 Pro is equipped with 50 kinds of watermarks, which can create more rich art photos and make the photos more design sense. Samsung also captured the mentality of Chinese users who like social sharing once again, enabling users to obtain a unique photo to meet the satisfaction of “DeSe” on social platforms.

Overall, the Samsung C9 Pro camera has certain characteristics. While satisfying daily shooting, it also adds some interesting social elements, making its playability greatly increased.


Xiaolong 653 processor interpretation

Samsung C9 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 653 processor. This processor was just released in October. As an upgraded version of Snapdragon 652, the previous 4*A72+4*A53 eight-core architecture was continued, positioning the sub-flagship processor. , mainly for high-end smart phones and tablet PCs to provide excellent connectivity, real image display and multimedia effects support, below we make a certain interpretation.

For Xiaolong 652, through the evaluation of millet Max, Samsung A9 models, we have a certain level of understanding of their strength, Xiaolong 653 as an upgrade on this basis, the main upgrade is in three areas. The first is the improvement of the main frequency. In the continuance of the Xiaolong 653's 8-core architecture with the 28nm process and the 4*A72+4*A53, the CPU A72's main frequency is increased from 1.8GHz to 1.95GHz. The GPU is still Adreno 510, so performance is improved by about 10%. We performed relevant tests by running the sub-software, and the running points easily reached about 80,000 minutes. Due to different software optimizations, the improvement of the models of the Xiaolong 652 was limited.

Followed by the expansion of the memory address range, from the previous 6GB to 8GB, so the Samsung C9 Pro has more confidence to go with 6GB large memory. The benefits of large memory are obvious, allowing more applications to run at the same time. Each application can also switch smoothly to each other, and the improvement of the user experience is obvious. Samsung's system also adds split-screen multi-tasking capabilities for large memory, allowing multiple tasks to be performed at the same time, improving efficiency.


â–²Trusignal technology further optimizes the signal of the micro slit antenna

Lastly, the upgrade of the modem, from the previous X8 LTE upgrade to X9 LTE, supports Nine Dragons Netcom, achieving a maximum download speed of 300 Mbps and an upload speed of 150 Mbps. Trusignal technology is especially supported, including dynamic antenna tuning techniques, to reduce signal loss during transmission, to avoid dropped calls, and to reduce communication rates. The main hierarchical antenna switching technology, that is, dynamically detects whether the downlink antenna is blocked and available, and switches the antenna intelligently. Receiver enhancement technology optimizes the antenna design to ensure that the handset can hear all directions very finely from all directions.

Overall, the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 has improved slightly, and the upgrade on the modem is more real. It is an excellent processor for everyday experience.

to sum up

It should be said that Samsung C9 Pro this product is not disappointing, all aspects show Samsung's good attainments. At the same time as the appearance of light and thin, it also added a new micro slit antenna design, making the whole machine feel good. In response to the needs of domestic consumers, a number of convenient services have been integrated into the system, which has created functions such as Polaroid, WeChat video sharing, and AlwaysOn. The system is more grounded. Configuration, the first time equipped with a Xiao Long 653 processor, 6GB running memory, 4000mAh large battery, whether it is performance or battery life are reliable protection, although there is a certain distance from the flagship, but still bear the flagship of light flagship, showed a certain Sincerity.

Inescapable is that Samsung C9 Pro is Samsung's first product launched in the past two months after the storm, it should bear more behind, made the middle market to make up for the loss of the flagship market, with local customization as a starting point to repair The brand image of consumers will be the responsibility that Samsung C9 Pro has to take up.
