No.1 Plus-1:1 Oneplus one clone full review

No.1 brand is now very well-known for great clones of those latest and outstanding smartphones. I remember it has released No.1 mi4 as Xiaomi mi4 clone, No.1 v phone i6 as iphone 6 clone, No.1 plus as Oneplus one clone. Now i have got No.1 plus smartphone. We must know why they release such kinds of copies, due to the competitive price and the trendy design. Therefore, i will introduce this smartphone in the following aspects in order to let you know it more specifically.

Highlight 1: 5.5 inch 1280 * 720 HD IPS Screen
Even if No.1 plus is the clone of oneplus one, the design will be similar as Oneplus one. We guess right that it comes with 5.5inch HD IPS screen with 1280*720pixels screen resolution. In view of screen quality, when i turn on the smartphone, and watch the videos, the speed performs fast and swiftly. As is known to all, screen resolution is the key to affect the picture quality. This one has high definition, and it can also record full high definition video, especially watch 3D movies. I am very sastified with screen.
Highlight 2: MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz
For a smartphone, the hardware is very significant, which means the CPU of this smartphone affects most the overall performance. Because of the cheap price, it is powered by MTK6582 Quad core 1.3GHz processor, which runs faster than those dual core smartphones. MTK chipset is the mainstream for the manufacturers, therefore, this time, No.1 still uses MTK chipset to get the customers' attention. My experience is that when i play a mid-range games, it runs awesome.
Highlight 3: 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM
When i got this smartphone, i also have guessed the internal storage. Because this smartphone has the price below $130, it can't be ROM 16GB. Although it sports RAM 1GB ROM 8GB, it can be expanded by ROM 32GB by a TF card. There is a gentle tip that don't download many apps, because it will be stuck.
Highlight 4: Android 4.4 kitkat OS
There are different kinds of customers who pursue the latest system. This smartphone has the latest android4.4 kitkat OS. Compared with Android4.2 Jelly bean OS, the overall performance has been greatly improved. It brings more convenience and simplicity compared with those android4.2 jelly bean system.
Highlight 5: 8.0MP Rear Camera + 5.0MP Front Camera (System show 17MP + 8MP)
I have also checked the dual camera that it has 8mp rear camera and 5MP front camera. But the system shows 17MP rear and 8MP front camera. But i take pictures with good quality and much clearity, therefore, i can memorize the beautiful moments with my family by this nice smartphone. It's worthwhile to highly recommend.
Highlight 6: Support 3G, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, Multilanguage, Gesture Sensing
This smartphone has some unique features that i like much. For example, it supports gesture sensing, which i can wave my hands to open the pictures and accept the call or refuse the call from the strangers. And it can also support mulit language which let me set it in my mother tongue.
In conclusion, it has attracted my great attention that not only it 's of Oneplus one clone, but also the ultra-competitive price and performance compared with other Chinese smartphone. Therefore, i show it for your reference. And if you want to know more, just leave comments to discuss.
Is this phone reasonably easy to carry in a typical shirt pocket? Also, I will be using this phone to play music, can you advise how good the audio output through headphones is please? Are all phones using the MTK the same quality music? I don't need ultra high quality since most of my listening will be at work probably thru Panasonic clip overs, but I do want clean and clear, not bass heavy, output.
Thank you for the review,

Understanding smartphone cameras…

People on social media are constantly looking to click better pictures to upload to their growing online-photo collections. Buying an expensive smart phone may not be enough to up your game in photography, but a little research on camera specifications and nomenclature will go a long way in helping you select that perfect smart phone for your next photographic expedition.
Camera Glossary
Sensor: A sensor captures light and converts what you see into an image. It determines image size, resolution, low-light performance, depth-of-field, dynamic range and basically how good your photos look.

The quality of the image depends on the size of sensor, the number of pixels on it and the size of those pixels. For example: Samsung’s ISOCELL image sensor technology promises increased light sensitivity and higher colour fidelity in smartphones even in poor lighting conditions.
Aperture: The aperture (sometimes called focal ratio) of a camera is the ratio of the lens' focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a measure of lens speed, and provides the thrust to produce photos with better sharpness and clarity. The higher the focal ratio and the smaller the opening in the lens, the greater the depth of field and sharper the background of the photograph.
PDAF: Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) is currently the fastest method of focusing. It uses two sensor points to detect the phase difference in the light path and find the exact distance. It moves the lens to the correct focus point so that the camera produces high quality images. A few smartphones also use VCM ball bearing and closed loop technology in PDAF, which lets the user click a picture in less than 0.09th of a second.
Megapixel: This is a unit for measuring image resolution. The more the pixels in a picture, the more detailed the picture becomes. To put it simply, a single megapixel amounts to one million pixels in an image and is an indication of the camera's image quality or resolution. So photographs taken by a camera with higher megapixels will result in higher resolution images.
Resolution: This refers to the number of pixels in a camera sensor. A higher resolution means more pixels and more pixels provide the ability to display more visual information (resulting in greater clarity and more detail).
Autofocus: The Auto-Focus feature provides a camera with the ability to automatically focus on a subject correctly without the need of manual intervention from the user. This feature allows improved zoom shots and closer macro shots.
So don’t be camera shy, go ahead and research these terms so you have the right smart phone to click that award winning photo!

[Discussion] Honor View20 front camera and its placement.

Hi all this thread is about the front camera of Honor View 20.
We have been seeing various articles and reviews about 48MP back camera but there isn't much info regarding front camera.

After various leaks Honor View 20 got released in China. It is yet to be released world wide which is going to take place on January 22nd.
From the renders and reviews and various hands-on we got to know that Front camera is a 25MP camera with AI feature and f/2.0 aperture.
On paper specs look like one of the cameras from the recent mobiles.But its placement makes it different from other cameras.
Honor considers Hole-punch Screen Technology is the replacement for the Notches in order to have high STB ratio and for utilizing maximum screen real-estate and is one of the key selling point for Honor View20.
The Honor View20 has a big “All-View” display with the in-display hole, which is only 4.5mm wide. According to available data it is to be considered as the smallest hole when compared with other models which have similar camera placement.
From the available data it is to be noted that it is assembled with 0.1mm precision with 5-axis Ring Dispensing.
You might have heard that due to camera punching through each layer of the display it has a greater chance of light leaking through. This design could result in poor quality selfies. There’s also the problem of the display’s durability being compromised by the design.This could cause a display be be easily broken.
But Honor mentions that it has overcome all the issues through its special technique called pixel transition technology, which controls the flow of liquid crystals, enabling light to go through and reach the camera along the liquid-crystal layer .
I think it is better than the Notches and is nice to look .
Do come and share your opinion regarding this.
I like the placement of the camera. I did not find it very noticeable when holding the View 20. Plus its location in the upper left corner means it will be under my left thumb when gaming and the phone is held in landscape orientation. I did not get a chance to try watching anything on the View 20, but I do not believe its location will be a distraction for me personally.
