Bphone 3: Nice is not enough

◤ BEAUTIFUL DESIGN IN PRICE◢

Admittedly, the Bphone 3 has an attractive appearance and can be considered as a worthwhile upgrade in terms of design compared to the older brother. The back of the Bphone 3 is made of polished glass, combined with soft curved aluminum frame that adds to the elegance of the device. In addition, the finishing of the Bphone3 is relatively good, the contact between the front and the frame is very matching, comfortable feel when swiping or holding the product on hand. However, I feel the SIM slot of the machine does not really fit the border, at the same time I will feel the SIM slit slightly slightly disagreeable.

What makes the Bphone 3 different and more prominent than other products in the segment is that the machine said no to the rabbit ears, instead BKAV has thinned the three edges of the machine, look quite similar to the Xiaomi Mi Mix when we turn back. But the upper part of the machine will be thicker to put the camera front, sensor, backlight range because the BPS 3 uses IPS LCD screen. Another point I do not like is the rear glass is too weak, just take the ear lightly on the words Bkav Designed by Bkav - Made in Vietnam you will feel this surface sink a little. This is a fatal weakness because it will increase the possibility of breaking a lot more if you unfortunately dropped the machine.

The 6 inch Full HD + Bphone 3 display provides good viewing angles, true colors and brightness even when used outdoors. However, I like the upper part thinner because almost in the process of using, I often look at content from top to bottom. At the same time, the thin upper border will feel the real border. Having to spend extra BKAV in reverse-screen will be a lot better.

◤ CAMERA ENOUGH, NOT TOO EXCELLENT ◢

It will be launched in 2018, but the B-3 still uses a 12-megapixel camera. In my opinion, this camera for quality is not really excellent in the price range. Images give true colors but detail is not really high. When zoomed up, it will be easier to see the image being repainted, lost details. HDR features on the machine is quite stable, dark and bright areas are reproduced relatively well, but the shooting speed as well as save the HDR image is quite long, easy to make the picture smudge if the user is not sure.

There is only one camera but the Bphone 3 also has the ability to take portraits to remove fonts by software. In my opinion, this feature is quite good compared to other devices in the price range because the transition between the subject and background is not smooth, accompanied by the click on the photo again, you Wait a long time for the image processing machine has just taken. Overall, for this price, we can not ask for anything more.

◤ CONFIGURE ENOUGH USE ◢

The Bphone 3 has a relatively good configuration in the segment, with the power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, so the device responds quite well to the basic needs of a constant. On games like the Mobile Alliance, Asphalt 9, Bphone 3 for a relatively smooth experience, but when transferred to heavyweight games than PUBG Mobile, the player is level. Balanced. Shock will appear quite a lot during the game, sometimes the machine is not responding lightly when clicked. This is also understandable because the 636 chip is not really too strong. The Bphone 3 also has a 3000 mAh battery, which meets the needs of one day.

◤ BOS 3.0 ◢

The most talked about point of view on the BOS 3 is BOS. In this version, BKAV has improved BOS than the previous two products. The company has added a lot of gestures very convenient in the process of using every day. You can swipe from side to back, swipe from bottom to back to Home, click on the edge of the right or left edge to increase the volume as well as brightness, ... at the same time, BKAV also learn style The design of the toolbar is the same as Control Center on iOS. There will be you like or do not like but for me, these gestures are quite handy to manipulate daily.

However, the point of the device is also located in the BOS itself. In the process of using, I feel BOS is not really optimized and not take full advantage of the hardware so the machine sometimes stuck and lag even just browse Facebook normally. One error was that I could not use the notification bar, so I had to restore the original installation twice to fix the problem.

Besides, a point that makes me uncomfortable in the process of using the fingerprint sensor. BKAV did not add a touch-sensitive feature when the proximity sensor was covered. So, when I removed the Bphone 3 in the pants pocket, this fingerprint will touch and repeatedly notify the wrong identification, causing each device to enter, then all must enter the pass to unlock. This causes a lot of inconvenience during use.

In addition, the device also encountered some annoying faults such as unreadable Samsung SD memory card 128GB, display lock error, ... hope BKAV will fix in the upcoming update.

◤ SUMMARY ◢

Overall, compared to the predecessor version, the Bphone 3 is a significantly improved device in terms of appearance. The device is suitable for those who love a beautifully designed product, comes with IP68 equivalent waterproof standards to help ensure safety during use. But considering other competitors, the Bphone 3 needs to fix more points except the camera as well as the company must optimize its BOS platform.
