Glory tablet V7 Pro evaluation： Android tablet moves towards productivity ｜ Titanium geek

"Productivity before buying, Iqiyi after buying" has always been the most commonly used teasing language for tablet devices. In fact, it just shows the awkward position of tablet computers in today’s era. In terms of display size, in the era when smartphones are still 4-5 inches, a tablet computer with a display area of 8-11 inches can really bring a better audio-visual experience.

But today’s smartphones have reached a display area of more than 6.5 inches, and even folding screen products can approach the display area of small tablets. In the first round of the contest between audio and video and daily experience, tablet computers did not take the lead because of their screen size. In the past two years, tablet computers began to shift their positioning to a new scene: productivity.

As a large-screen product with portable properties, the tablet has hardware that combines the dual properties of notebook computer and mobile phone through the combination with peripherals such as keyboard and stylus. Just today, the glory tablet V7 Pro was officially released. This intelligent hardware equipped with 120Hz 2.5K screen matching touchpad keyboard and stylus is also an important driving force for Android tablet to move towards productivity.

The design of glory tablet V7 Pro is still business-oriented. For example, the blue version on hand is made of plain leather, which is very popular this year. In addition, the camera part also adopts the overall design of oval ring. In order to further fit its own business attributes, the back cover has also added texture details like calfskin.

The front of the fuselage is an 11-inch screen with a scale of 16:10, with a screen resolution of 2560×1600, and it is also a high refresh rate screen, which supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. From the actual perception, it is no problem to meet the daily audio-visual experience. With the four independent speakers in the fuselage, it can also bring good sound field and sound positioning performance.

The addition of 120Hz refresh rate can not only bring better fluency experience in daily software operation, but also be an important basis for adapting the smooth operation of stylus. For example, the APP "Nobe For Honor" has been adapted to the refresh rate of 120Hz, and a lower delay experience can be achieved by combining with a stylus. In actual operation, the tracking speed of lines will be faster.

The first requirement for productivity equipment is, of course, that it should have sufficient performance. At the end of last month, MediaTek officially released the Xunkun 1300T, which is specially made for flat products. It adopts the 6nm process based on TSMC, the CPU adopts the eight nuclear architecture composed of Arm Cortex-A78 and A55, and the GPU adopts the nine-core Arm Mali-G77 MC9. In addition, it also integrates MediaTek APU and HyperEngine 3.0 with energy-efficient AI computing power.

The glory tablet V7 Pro is also the world’s first product of this SoC. The highest frequency of its four A78 architecture cores reaches 2.6GHz, and the frequency of its four A55 architecture cores also reaches 2.0GHz. Combined with 8GB of memory, from the actual game link test, Peace Elite HDR HD maximum frame rate game can achieve completely smooth performance, and mainstream online games can take it all.

In fact, at present, the biggest bottleneck of Android tablet is not performance. The performance of glory tablet V7 Pro can be fully qualified for many moderately productive scenes, such as simple video editing, but the overall software ecology and adaptation still have a long way to go. In terms of battery life, the body has a built-in battery with a capacity of 7250mAh, and the maximum charging power is 22.5W W. In use, it can basically be charged without pressure for 2 days.

Any productivity device must find its own suitable productivity scene. At this point, the glory tablet V7 Pro focuses on two aspects, one is the property of being movable and creative at any time, and the other is more extreme productivity experience optimization than the current Android tablet, which is enough to cope with the work with high operational efficiency requirements such as typing for a long time or making tables.

To this end, glory and tablet launched two peripheral products: HONOR Magic-Pencil 2 and Glory Magic Suspended Keyboard. Let’s talk about the stylus first. At present, there are actually quite a few stylus products on the market. The key point of competition between various products is whether the details can be perfected. In terms of convenience design, Glory’s stylus adopts a magnetic absorption method, and the right frame of the tablet is a magnetic absorption area. The stylus also adopts a single plane+circular configuration, with a diameter of 9mm and a length of 165 mm. Overall, it is more similar to the grip of pens used in daily life.

In terms of weight, the actual measurement of HONOR Magic-Pencil 2 is 15g, the overall weight distribution is relatively even, and the endurance is also very good. Officially, it is 15 hours. However, in daily use, due to its design of magnetic attraction and wireless charging, it is in the state of recharging power when it is basically not used, so it rarely uses less than 60% of the power.

HONOR Magic-Pencil 2 also does a good job in dealing with some small details, such as magnetism. On the left side of the tablet, magnetic attraction areas are basically arranged. The author tried it, and the scope of magnetic attraction is quite large. Basically, any area can be placed at will, and the intensity of adsorption is strong enough. Even if you pick up the tablet computer and shake it, you won’t get rid of the pen.

However, among the four magnetic attraction positions, only one position has the function of matching and charging. If you find that the window of the matching device does not pop up, just adjust the HONOR Magic-Pencil 2 to the lower position of the frame. This place has the strongest magnetic force and is relatively easy to distinguish.

Since it is a productive product, the first thing that the glory tablet V7 Pro should meet is the user’s requirements for productivity hardware. Judging from the current category of overall intelligent hardware, except for PC, the notebook computer is the most in line with productivity requirements. In addition to adjusting the key structure, the glory tablet V7 Pro is equipped with a touchpad at the bottom, which is closer to notebook products in terms of experience in use.

Many people may think that it is just adding a touchpad. Since the screen supports touch operation, why do you need the function of the touchpad? In fact, in the process of editing tables and words, the accuracy of the touchpad is actually higher than that of touch. Moreover, screen touch will also block the line of sight due to the presence of hands. In addition, if you need to adjust the cursor position while inputting text, the experience of sliding the screen with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand is also relatively fragmented.

It can be said that the glory Magic floating keyboard is definitely the first surprise for the author when the glory tablet V7 Pro gets started. In the connection mode, the keyboard and the host computer are connected by Bluetooth, so there is no need for redundant operation in pairing. Just attach the flat plate to the keyboard support structure, and a pop-up window will be displayed on the host computer screen for connection. If it doesn’t pop up when touched, you can press the SHIFT button on the keyboard, and the keyboard light will flash and start to connect.

Another advantage of using magnetic connection is that it can be used at any time. After adding the keyboard, the weight of the suit of Glory Flat V7 Pro will exceed 1Kg, while the bare weight of the fuselage is only 485g. Usually, when watching movies, TV plays or playing games on the sofa or bed, the author will choose to take off the keyboard for bare use, and when there is a desktop around, it can form a bracket structure by magnetic attraction with the keyboard, and its maximum opening and closing angle of 120 is completely enough for watching dramas and movies on the table.

In some small details of the keyboard experience, such as the touch of keys, the glory Magic floating keyboard has a keystroke of 1.3mm, and the feedback of rebound in the experience is obvious. The overall pressure is high, not the kind of soft keys. It is very suitable for people who like long keystroke, quick rebound and obvious confirmation.

The glory tablet V7 Pro can be said to be a very ambitious product. From hardware to design, it fully benchmarks the top tablet products at present. In addition, in the peripheral products, there is no feeling of accommodating to the weak Android ecology, and I am willing to make great efforts to adapt and optimize.

Perhaps 2021 can really become a node for Android tablet to open a new market. At least on the hardware level, glory has already produced products with a good foundation, and the rest is the software ecosystem jointly developed by terminal manufacturers and software suppliers. Maybe in the future, Android tablet will become the best choice for "mobile productivity".
