In the prosperous era of smart phone market, many manufacturers began to produce their own smart phones. Gree is no exception. As a traditional air conditioner manufacturer, its advertising slogan "Good air conditioner made by Gree" has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts. So what about this "three-year-old" mobile phone?
Ordinary fuselage
From the appearance, the combination of black and gray of the fuselage is quite in line with the aesthetics of ordinary people.
However, the all-plastic body material makes this Gree mobile phone lack a sense of weight.
The key settings on both sides, in addition to the on-off key and volume key, also have a special round key.
The back adopts arc anti-slip design, plus its anti-slip material. It’s easier to control it in your hands.
Generally speaking, this mobile phone feels more like a remote control than a mobile phone.
Disappointing configuration
The quality of a mobile phone, most users are most concerned about the performance of hardware. This phone can be seen from the configuration parameters. Compared with other mobile phones, the 1.2GHz CPU of Qualcomm Xiaolong 410 has fallen behind a lot. At the same time, in today’s era of pursuing high resolution, 720P obviously cannot meet the demand. As far as this configuration is concerned, the running result can be imagined.
Although the configuration is general, Gree mobile phone runs quite smoothly. However, if you want to play games with Gree’s mobile phone, it is estimated that many people will be disappointed. After all, with 1G of running memory, there is no problem with ordinary games. However, for some games, it is still very restricted.
For some people who like taking photos and taking selfies, this phone is definitely not your first choice. The camera with 200 pixels in front and 8 million pixels in rear, coupled with its general camera effect, is really far from the iPhone with 8 million pixels.
Mediocre and unique function
In terms of functional application, Gree’s mobile phone is no different from other mobile phones. However, a Gree remote control icon that is very obvious on its main interface should be the most distinctive function. For an air conditioner manufacturer, this function is linked with the air conditioner it produces, making the mobile phone really a "remote control", which has also become the main selling point of the mobile phone. And the small button above the volume button on the right side of the phone is the shortcut switch for this application.
In addition to this special function, many Gree advertisements have been added in some applications. Such as Gree Mall and Gree official website in the browser, and Gree Electric in the application recommendation. No wonder when the mobile phone is initially turned on, users should register for Gree account.
Speaking of the registration of Gree account, people really can’t help scratching their heads. When you register this account with your mobile phone number, if you are a Unicom user, you are lucky, because only you can register quickly. If you are a mobile user, it will remind you that the SMS gateway is not connected. Telecom users, on the other hand, can’t receive short messages at all.
In a word, Gree’s mobile phone can’t find any other features except "Gree Remote Control", and its hardware configuration is lower than other mobile phones today. As far as its pricing of 1600 yuan is concerned, the performance and function of this machine do not match this pricing. As the main selling point, the application of "Gree Remote Control" is not bad. It can be used to easily control most Gree air conditioners, which is convenient for use, or it can also be used to play some small pranks in shopping malls or other places.
However, as far as Gree is concerned, as an air conditioner manufacturer, there are many shortcomings in timing when entering and leaving the mobile phone industry, and this mobile phone is officially its first attempt to enter the market. Aside from the performance, just making the mobile phone a "remote control" for air conditioning shows that Gree is different from other mobile phone manufacturers, and it is really similar to LeTV’s mobile phone. "I am not a mobile phone, but a complete air conditioning ecosystem."
