Gretel A9 智能手机简短评测

Name: Gretel A9
Brand: Gretel

不足100美元的iPhone？ Gretel A9的设计原型显而易见：Apple的iPhone。甚至连操作系统都让我们不禁联想到iOS，和它的模版相似的是，A9也有玫瑰金的型号。实际上这种设计上的抄袭完全没有必要，因为A9以不足100美元的售价提供了丰富的功能。如果它的相机不是那么差的话。。

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
26.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 17.2 ms rise
26.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 9.2 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 62 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
32.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 17.6 ms rise
32.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 14.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 39 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

In Review: Gretal A9. Review unit courtesy of Gretel.

Gretel在Notebookcheck上的第一次登场带来了十分有趣的结论。A9是一台不错的入门级智能手机，它提供了同类机型所缺少的一些功能，如内置指纹感应器和大容量闪存。同时虽然不是最优秀的，但它不错的屏幕依然可以通过MiraVision功能得到自定义和改进。它的运算性能中规中矩，但图形性能并不出色：A9不是为游戏所设计的。它的扬声器音量较小，不过并不算最差的，电池续航也说得过去。普通日常使用它应该可以坚持一两天的时间。

不过仍然还有一个没有得到回答的问题：这样一台不足80美元的手机的缺点又在哪里呢？它最大的问题是出在相机上。差值运算成像已经应该是过去的技术了，而它的前置200万像素相机完全无法拍摄正常效果的照片。除了光线很好的情况之外它的相机都几乎无法使用，而视频拍摄也只支持720p分辨率。尽管它的机身品质缺陷在这个价位上司空见惯，但这样的相机可能对于大部分用户来说都无法接受。

入门级的Gretel A9在不足80美元的价位上提供了丰富的功能——指纹感应器，大容量闪存，相对优秀的性能。但低品质的相机可能会让很多用户望而却步。

作为一台仅仅80美元的智能手机，Gretel A9依然十分不错，比同类设备带来了更多的功能，也值得消费者考虑。
