標題[討論] 莫博士HTC ONE M8評測
時間Thu Mar 27 18:35:42 2014
Walt Mossberg 有許多人稱之為「莫博士」 科技界最受人尊敬的評論家之一 從事科技評論超過20年 為華爾街日報旗下網站 AllthingsD 的主編 也是每年 AllthingsD 大會主持人 Walt Mossberg 在HTC ONE M8發表後也難得出了M8評測 ============================================================ Is the New HTC One the One for You? 一家在走下坡路的智慧型手機廠商，要如何在三星和蘋果雙頭壟斷的市場重新 引起消費者的注意呢？也許是讓手機增加一個鏡頭。HTC希望藉由這一創新吸 引人們購買2014年新款HTC One旗艦機。 去年，第一代HTC One獲得廣泛的好評。我本人也建議人們考慮購買它而非三 星的Galaxy S4。不過，這家台灣手機廠商的行銷實力遠遠比不上蘋果和三星， 在美國市場也未能像兩大巨頭那樣讓四大電信商同時販賣自己的旗艦機。 今年2014年，HTC希望捲土重來，推出了重新設計的HTC One（官方名稱為HTC One M8）。該新產品擁有更大的5寸螢幕和背後弧形的全金屬機身，背面兩個 鏡頭帶來更多新功能，前置鏡頭變得更好更方便自拍。它還內建新的軟體功能， 可以讓你以滑動螢幕開啓特定功能的手勢操作。 這一次，HTC表示，M8開賣後將馬上在美國三大電信商接受網上購買，第二波 的T-Mobile則很快在4月跟進。該手機也將於4月登陸電信商們的店面。兩年綁 約價將在199美元至240美元之間，空機價格則為649美元。HTC還計劃加大並改 善產品的行銷推廣工作。 How can a fading smartphone maker regain consumers’ attention in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple? Maybe by adding a third camera. That’s one new feature that HTC hopes will make people want to buy the 2014 edition of its flagship phone, the HTC One. Last year, the first HTC One was much praised by reviewers. I myself advised people to consider it instead of Samsung’s Galaxy S4. But the Taiwan-based phone maker lacked the marketing muscle of the Big Two and, in the U.S., wasn’t able to get all four major carriers to release the One roughly simultaneously, as Samsung and Apple can. So, for 2014, HTC is back with a redesigned One, officially called the HTC One (M8) — and with higher hopes. It has a slightly bigger, five-inch screen; a curved, all-metal body; that third camera, on the rear; a better front camera, for better selfies; and new software features, like “launch motions,” that let you swipe on the screen when it’s off to launch certain things. And this time, HTC says, the One will be available immediately online at the three biggest U.S. carriers, and in April at T-Mobile. The phone will also be in carrier stores in April. Subsidized prices will range from $199 to $249 with a two-year contract, with an unsubsidized, no-contract price of $649. HTC is also planning more and better marketing. M8甚至還有一個很酷的、選購的50美元“Dot View”洞洞裝鏤空保護套配件， 輕敲兩次可顯示大字體的通知提醒，支援接聽電話。 我一直在對2014新版HTC One進行測試。儘管它顯然只是漸進升級，而非革命 性升級，我還是將它推薦給想要獲得一流水準手機的Android使用者，或者是 希望使用做工精良的大螢幕高檔手機的iPhone用戶。M8外觀精美，電池續航力 出色，屏幕顯示質量上乘，拍照和通話的品質都很不錯。 不過它也存在一些不足。它明顯要重於去年的機型—大約重了12%，而且機身 更長。我更喜歡上代HTC One的手持感覺，換我的話，我不會為了將螢幕尺寸 從4.7寸小幅提升到5寸及增加外殼金屬百分比，而犧牲了重量。 另外，雖然HTC避免了像三星那樣在手機中內建了大量功能重複的花哨軟體， 但我測試的Verizon版M8至少內建了12款來自該電信商的預裝app，其中包括一 款與其外app功能重疊的簡訊應用。 It even has a cool, optional $50 “Dot View” case, whose perforated, flip-open cover lets you see notifications in large type, and even accept and conduct calls. I’ve been testing the 2014 version of the HTC One, and while it’s clearly evolutionary, not revolutionary, I can recommend it to Android fans looking for a first-rate phone, or to iPhone owners looking for a well-built, high-end phone with a bigger screen. It’s a handsome, solid product with very good battery life, a beautiful display, fine photo quality and great call quality. But there are some downsides. It’s noticeably heavier than last year’s model — about 12 percent heavier. And it’s longer. I preferred the feel in the hand of the original HTC One, and wouldn’t have traded that for the slightly bigger screen — up from 4.7 inches — or the added metal in the case. Also, while HTC avoided most of the duplicative, gimmicky software Samsung has loaded onto its phones, the Verizon model I tested included at least a dozen preloaded apps from that carrier, including a texting app that was one of three preloaded texting programs. 硬體 新版HTC One提供深鐵灰、金色和銀色3種顏色選擇。美版內建存儲空間將為 32GB，另外有最高可支援至128GB的存儲卡槽。 M8最突出的硬體特性是背部主鏡頭上方額外增加了一個鏡頭。新增的鏡頭本 身不能用於拍照，其功用在於收集照片的景深訊息，便於給主後置鏡頭拍下 的照片進行拍後對焦。HTC將它們稱之為“Duo camera”。 跟去年的HTC One一樣，M8的主後置鏡頭並沒有很高的像素，而是採用更大的 “Ultrapixels”超像素，可提高進光量。從我的測試來看，不管是在室內還 是室外，它的拍照和錄像品質都很不錯。 M8還有全新的廣角前置鏡頭，它的解析度高達500萬像素，讓用戶可以拍到更 好的自拍照。 上代HTC One最大的特色是很棒正面雙揚聲器，而2014版在音效品質上甚至更 上一層樓。以我測試的音樂來說，聽起來棒極了。 我沒有進行正規的電池續航測試，但在中等及重度使用的情況下，M8可以持 續29小時和18小時，不過這些數據有包括到夜間等閒置時間。 Hardware The new HTC One is a metal phone that comes in gray, gold or silver. In the U.S., it will have 32 gigabytes of internal memory, plus a memory card slot that can expand that amount by up to 128GB. Its most unusual hardware feature is that added camera, which sits above the main rear camera. This third camera doesn’t take pictures by itself, but gathers depth information on the subject of a photo to allow things like refocusing a shot after it has been taken by the main rear camera. HTC calls the two rear cameras, together, the Duo camera. As in last year’s One phone, the main rear camera doesn’t boast a megapixel rating, but uses larger pixels called “Ultrapixels” to let in more light. In my tests, it took brilliant pictures and videos both outdoors and indoors. There’s also a new wide-angle front camera, with an unusually high five-megapixel resolution for taking better selfies. It, too, worked well. One of the strongest features of the original model was dual front-mounted speakers, and the 2014 version has improved even further on the phone’s excellent sound. Music sounded terrific in my tests. While I didn’t run a formal battery test, the new HTC One lasted 29 hours for me, in light to moderate use, and about 18 hours in heavier use. But those figures were achieved using a setting that turns off all connectivity during long periods of inactivity, such as at night. 軟體 M8採用HTC的Sense客制化Android系統的全新版本，新版帶有新的相機app， 以及多項手勢功能。用戶可以以滑動螢幕迅速執行特定的操作。 新相機app提供六個不同的拍攝模式選項，其中包括自拍，雙重拍攝（將小小 的自拍照插入大照片中），以及去年推出的用於拍短視頻的“Zoe camera”。 你還可以依據自己的偏好設置建立和儲存客制化拍攝模式。 使用另一款叫做Gallery（不要跟Android的標準照片app Gallery搞混）的app 時，M8要用到雙鏡頭的景深數據。對於用主鏡頭拍下的照片，你可以改變焦點 或者創造視差效果柔化背景。但令我失望的是，這些編輯功能並不適用於有使 用濾鏡的照片以及高速攝影模式下拍攝的照片。 HTC還強化了BlinkFeed功能的易讀性和可定制性。那是針對新聞消息和社交媒 體的全螢幕閱讀器。我很開心可以在上面為波士頓紅襪隊設立一個專門的內容 專區。 手勢啟動的功能很好用。在空白屏幕上，從右往左滑動即可打開標準的Android 主畫面。滑回去也會馬上顯示回BlinkFeed。從上往下滑動後，還可以用語音 指令打電話。 Sense系統還內建一款電視遙控器app，該app十分適用於我舊舊的電漿電視和TiVo 設備。 Software There’s also a new version of HTC’s Sense software, the company’s take on Android, that features a new camera app and launch motions that allow users to quickly perform certain actions by swiping the screen when it’s dark. The camera app allows you to select among six different cameras,including a selfie camera, a dual-capture camera that inserts a small selfie into a larger picture, and what HTC calls a “Zoe camera,” which makes short videos, and debuted on last year’s model. You can also create and save custom cameras that reflect whatever manual settings you prefer. Using another app called Gallery (not to be confused with the standard Android photo Gallery), HTC puts the Duo camera’s depth data to use. On photos taken with the standard camera, you can change the point of focus or create a parallax effect. But I was frustrated that these kinds of edits weren’t available for photos using filters, or those taken with the high-speed burst mode. HTC has also included a more readable, more customizable, version of its BlinkFeed feature. This is a full-screen reader for news feeds and social media. I was able to set up a feed for the Boston Red Sox. The launch motions worked nicely. From a blank screen, if you swipe from right to left, the standard Android home screen appears. Swipe in the opposite direction, and BlinkFeed appears. Swiping from top to bottom lets you make a phone call via voice command. There’s also a TV remote control app, which worked perfectly with my aging Pioneer plasma TV and my TiVo. 全新的2014年HTC One可謂HTC的又一力作，要是它沒有增重就更好了。 The new, 2014-model HTC One is another strong offering by HTC. I just wish it hadn’t gained weight. ===================================================================
