Today Asustek held a conference called “Small Edge, Great Energy†at the Sheraton Huzhou Hotel (Moon Hotel), and announced that Zenfone series mobile phone sales reached 20 million units in 2015. In order to further explore the domestic market, the company launched the latest Zenfone's Pegasus 3 smartphone is intended to reach the fiery thousand Yuan machine market. What is the actual performance of the Pegasus 3? Packaging and Accessories The packaging is relatively simple, using the now popular small package. The pattern on the packaging and the font of Pegasus 3 have been specially designed to highlight the name and related features of the model. Asustek did a good job in some details. On the back is the product information, including the IMEI number, etc. We got the engineering machine. The core configuration is 1.25GHz MT6737+2G RAM+16G ROM. The mass production model should be priced at 1299. Asus also offers 1499 3G+32G version. Other related hardware configurations are a 5.2-inch 720P screen, a front-facing 5 million rear-mounted 13 million camera, a 4100mAh battery, and fingerprint recognition. The relevant protective tips are also printed on the factory protective film before and after the machine, which is convenient for users to use. From the figure we can see that the appearance of Pegasus 3 has removed the original Zenfone series features. The obvious three-stage design has a feeling of familiarity. Not many random accessories, only data lines, chargers, card pins and manual warranty card, it is worth mentioning that the output of the charger is only 5V/2A, this power is a bit overstretched for a 4100mAh machine, the last one A similar machine is red rice 3. Hands-on experience With the popular 2.5D glass + metal fuselage design, the edge has a layer of plastic gasket transition, feel good. All sensors are placed on the left side of the handset and are designed with a virtual key. Only the Asus logo is underneath. The positive face score is quite high when the screen is turned off. However, after the bright screen, there is a black border that is similar to the “ID borderless†design. Accept not? The design of the three segments on the back can be said to be a fusion of hundreds of products. Similar to Meizu, the transition between metal and plastic materials is better than expected. The speed of fingerprint identification on the back is at an average level. When the fingerprint is used to unlock, the machine will vibrate simultaneously. . In addition, it is worth mentioning that the three physical buttons on the right have been dealt with in detail above, similar to the one on X button, the actual effect is not as good as one plus X, but at least a lot of texture is improved. In terms of system, the new upgrade to the childcare 3.0, UI still has many similarities with the previous Zenfone series, homepage left slide is an integrated service card, the home page to the top right corner to earn + tag can be a key to enter Asus The Big Maker campaign, through the completion of the list or the application of tasks, sharing Weibo, Friends Circle, etc. will be able to get a certain amount of Zen coins, directly used to redeem the entity prizes, the most recent event is to activate the account in June-April to be able to 1 Zen coin exchange for 1G traffic. Directly preloaded with Android 6.0, multi-tasking menus are added to view running tasks, one-click cleaning and other functions, but the middle of the home fixed bar is not the common Launcher (Pegasus 3 no secondary menu), but will start directly The child's program, used to manage applications, led the author to open it often without care. It is unclear whether or not the engineering machine is the cause. The Pegasus 3 system is occasionally stuck while it is running, and it is relatively smooth as a whole. to sum up Just from the point of view of the Pegasus 3, this machine basically meets all the needs of the average consumer for thousands of machines, all of which have, the details of the processing is also good, although the appearance of no characteristics, too popular. However, the price is 1299/1499. Even though the machines such as Charm Blue and Red Rice may need to increase their prices and purchases, the price/performance ratio of the Pegasus 3 is not so prominent compared with the 699 sales price. How will ASUS intend to solve this problem?
