Using the word "once again" may confuse some readers, so here are a few words. As early as the functional machine era when mobile phones needed licenses, BenQ set foot in it as an OEM and independent brand. A number of classic models launched during this period are still talked about by many "post-70 s and post-80 s" machine friends until 2009, when they quietly "resigned" for various reasons. Five years have passed. ...

In today's smart phone era, as a consumer, you may have questions. What is the basis for BenQ's "return"? Admittedly, in the face of today's domestic mobile phone market, BenQ F5 will certainly not rely on low-level "skills" such as how thin the body is, how many cores the CPU has, how big the screen is, and how many pixels the camera has.
▲ 65438+On February 5th, BenQ officially released its world's first healthy eye-protection mobile phone F5.
If there are still readers who don't believe it, then Bian Xiao will give you the report specification. CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core, RAM 2G, ROM 16G, 5-inch screen, resolution 720p, front and rear 2 cameras, maximum pixel 1300W, lithium battery 2520mA, Android version 4.4.2, FDD-LTE 4G support, starting price 1399 yuan.

There may be another problem here. Why is BenQ F5 more expensive than other models? Bian Xiao's answer is that F5 is equipped with BenQ's unique health eye protection technology. Some readers may know that since 20 13, BenQ has fully integrated the leading display technology strength and medical research achievements in its display products, and launched more than ten eye-protection displays, which have been well received by the market.
▲ BenQ F5 is equipped with unique health eye protection technology.
The biggest difference between BenQ F5 health eye protection mobile phone and ordinary smart phone is that it is equipped with the original low blue light technology of BenQ, which can effectively reduce the damage of blue light emitted from the screen to the eyes, thus providing all-weather vision protection for consumers in F5, BenQ.

Then, whether BenQ's brand-new "return" F5 health eye protection mobile phone has the mainstream performance and eyesight protection ability introduced by the government, let's take a look with Bian Xiao.
Evaluation of BenQ F5 healthy eye protection mobile phone-the front of the fuselage
BenQ's F5 health eye protection mobile phone has two colors for consumers to choose from: elegant white and fashionable black, and Bian Xiao got the most elegant white F5.
▲ Bian Xiao got the most elegant white F5 this time.
At present, most manufacturers have reached a * * * understanding of the appearance design of the thousand yuan smart machine, that is, the appearance of the thousand yuan smart machine will not increase the production burden on the basis of satisfying the aesthetics of most consumers. But if you want to stand out in the thousand yuan smart machine, a good design is the best selling point of the product.
▲ There are not many personalized elements in the appearance of BenQ F5.
At this point, in Bian Xiao's view, BenQ F5 is qualified. Although there are not many personalized elements in the appearance, the matching design of the white body and the silver middle frame still makes the whole look simple and atmospheric.
▲ White body, silver middle frame design, overall simple atmosphere.
F5 is equipped with a 5-inch IPS wide viewing angle screen, 1280x720 pixels, and the pixel per inch reaches 294ppi. Because consumers of Android phones are used to the big screen now, BenQ chose 5 inches, which is a better body size at present.
▲ BenQ F5 is equipped with a 200W pixel front camera.
On the right side of the dust screen of the receiver above the front of F5, BenQ equipped it with a 200W pixel front camera, which can meet the needs of ordinary consumers for self-portrait and video chat. Light and distance sensors are arranged on both sides of the camera.
▲ Three most common virtual buttons with backlight are arranged under the front of F5 in BenQ.
▲ At the top of the middle frame of BenQ F5, a power button and a 3.5mm headphone jack are arranged.
Under the front of the machine, BenQ F5 is equipped with three most common virtual buttons with backlight, namely back, HOME and menu. On the whole, the front design of BenQ F5 is not as high as the ultra-high screen ratio brought by the ultra-narrow bezel of today's high-end models, but its screen ratio is also large in the thousand yuan smart machine.
▲ The fuselage thickness of BenQ F5 is 8.5mm
▲ The volume key of BenQ F5 is arranged on the silver middle frame on the right.
The fuselage thickness of BenQ F5 is 8.5mm, which is a good "achievement" in the thousand yuan machine. F5' s volume key is arranged on the right silver middle frame, while the power key, 3.5mm headphone jack, talking microphone and micro USB jack are arranged at the top and bottom of the middle frame respectively.
Evaluation of BenQ F5 Health Eye Protection Mobile Phone-Back of Body
In recent years, the back shell of the fuselage has been blown up by some manufacturers, but the real sense of entity is rarely consistent with the official propaganda. At this point, the BenQ F5 is much simpler, and the detachable polycarbonate (PC) frosted back shell adds a lot to its grip comfort.
▲ BenQ F5 adopts a detachable frosted back shell.
As for the main camera, BenQ F5 is equipped with Sony 1300W pixel Exmor RS series stacked CMOS module. Although the specific model has not been officially announced, the modes supported by it, such as high sensitivity camera and high dynamic range (HDR) camera, all perform well in the actual low light environment.

▲ Speaker opening in the lower right corner of the back shell of BenQ F5 fuselage.
Coupled with the aperture of F/2.2 and the assistance of automatic flash, the imaging effect of F5 is only on the average water quality of the thousand yuan machine. It is worth mentioning that because BenQ controls the balance between the camera and the thickness of the fuselage, the main camera does not protrude from the surface of the back shell.
▲ The back shell with snap-in fixing method is made of polycarbonate (PC).
Open the back case of BenQ F5 fixed by the buckle, and you can see the black back plate, which contains a 2520mA lithium battery, a microSIM card slot and a TF card socket that can support up to 64GB. Through official technical documents, Bian Xiao learned about the first 4G and 3G networks that BenQ F5 supported Unicom.
▲ BenQ F5 adopts non-removable batteries, and the battery compartment is shielded by a metal cover.
As for the battery, F5 adopts a non-detachable battery design, and the battery compartment is shielded by a metal cover. In this way, the lithium battery is put on an iron vest, so that even if it is squeezed by external force, there is generally no danger. Using this design on the thousand yuan machine shows that quality is still the most important part of BenQ.
Evaluation of BenQ F5 health eye protection mobile phone-UI&; trait
In the case of almost the same hardware strength, the design of UI has become the core competitiveness of a cost-effective thousand yuan machine. At this point, BenQ F5 adopted Q Home UI based on Android 4.4.2.
▲ BenQ F5 adopts Q Home UI based on Android 4.4.2.
Although at first glance, the interface of Q Home UI is not much different from the native Android style, only simple modifications are made on icons, plug-ins and wallpapers. However, due to the cancellation of the secondary menu, all applications are installed on the desktop, so the whole system is more concise and the operation experience is better.
The interface of QHome UI cancels the secondary menu.
Q Home UI comes with fresh wallpaper style, and its own application icon has also been redrawn. Because there is no secondary menu, BenQ F5 supports at most 15 subpages, and the resident shortcut at the bottom of the interface also supports page turning.
▲ The resident shortcut under the QHome UI interface also supports page turning.
Ordinary smart phones emit blue light waves when displaying, which is the main cause of eye fatigue, eye injury, headache and sleep disorder. BenQ F5' s unique eye protection "blue light filtering" technology can effectively weaken the short-wavelength blue light in the screen backlight, thus reducing the harm to eye health.
▲ BenQ F5 can open the blue light filtering mode through system display settings and page shortcut icons.
BenQ F5 can turn on the preset blue light filtering mode through system display settings and page shortcut icons, and the three options of multimedia, web browsing and reading can reduce the blue light backlight by 30%, 50% and 70% respectively. Through the following samples taken at a fixed color temperature of 5200K, we can see that it is still practical.
▲ Different blue light filtering modes for 5200 K fixed color temperature shooting.
In the system gesture setting of Q Home UI, there are also two functions built in: double-click to wake up the screen and flip mute. Although it is only a small function of double-clicking the screen to light up when the screensaver is turned on, and flipping the fuselage to mute when the call comes in, such a simple and easy-to-use somatosensory design is still full of humanity.
▲Q Home UI also has built-in functions of double-clicking the wake-up screen and flipping mute.
In addition, Q Home UI also provides a "New Applications" folder, in which all newly installed applications will be automatically put, thus effectively reducing the time spent in search. Generally speaking, BenQ F5' s Q Home UI is not powerful, but it is optimized in ease of use and fluency.
BenQ F5 healthy eye protection mobile phone evaluation-shooting test
Bian Xiao said earlier that the main camera of BenQ F5 adopts Sony 1300W pixel Exmor RS series stacked CMOS with F/2.2 aperture and automatic flash. This hardware configuration can meet the needs of ordinary consumers for taking photos and shooting.
▲ The main camera configuration of BenQ F5 can meet the needs of daily use.
▲ BenQ F5 has very rich photo/video options.
In terms of software, BenQ F5 has also added a wealth of photo/video options. For example, there are nine camera modes, such as auto, high sensitivity, smile, continuous shooting, panorama and high dynamic range, and five camera modes, such as auto, time-reduced photography, slow motion, high dynamic range and anti-shake.
▲ BenQ F5 can adjust the length-width ratio, resolution, white balance, ISO, exposure value and other parameters.
▲ BenQ F5 can also use functions such as face detection, reference line and effect filter.
In terms of camera settings, BenQ F5 can not only adjust the parameters such as aspect ratio, resolution, white balance, ISO, exposure value, but also use functions such as face detection, reference line, 7 effect filters and 8 framing modes.

Through the following photo proofs and video proofs in the actual environment, we can see that BenQ F5 ensures the imaging effect through high sensitivity and high dynamic range mode in low light, Gao Fancha and other environments. At the same time, the addition of time contraction and slow-motion mode can bring different creative video shooting fun to consumers.

Generally speaking, although BenQ F5 is a smart phone with a price of 1,000 yuan, its rich and varied settings, integrated camera focusing/shooting ability and quite good imaging effect are not inferior to similar products on the market.
BenQ F5 healthy eye protection mobile phone evaluation-running test
Finally, in terms of hardware performance testing, Bian Xiao is of course "extraordinary" and has no deviation. As for the software used, Ann Bunny is selected to evaluate v5.3, GFXBench v3.0.23 and 3D mark for testing.
▲ In terms of running points, Ann Bunny was selected to evaluate v5.3, GFXBench v3.0.23 and 3D mark.
The evaluation items of Ann Bunny's evaluation of v5.3 mainly include user experience test (multi-task and virtual machine), overall performance test of CPU, RAM memory test, 2D/3D graphics performance test and data storage I/O performance test. Users can choose single test and complete test, and provide score details after the test is completed.

According to the test results of the above three softwares, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 platform is adopted, and the CPU is the quad-core ARM Cortex A7 architecture MSM8926's BenQ F5, and the performance is at the middle and high level of the current thousand yuan smart phone.
▲ BenQ F5 game demonstration
Adreno 305 graphics card chip is not the highest hardware level today, but because of the "suitable" 720p screen, many graphics card tests still failed. In theory, daily software and games can easily cope with it.
