Cool mobile phones are here again. Put it next to the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the screen will instantly become mini. But don’t worry , don’t look at it. It’s a serious mobile phone that can be used daily, not just a small one. It can even be said to be It has all the things that should be kept up with the times , such as 5G, mobile network, NFC, and even because it is a Japanese version of the phone, it can painlessly activate the Suica card. It can be used directly with the phone to enter the station . The camera is not just a dual-lens main lens. With 64 million pixels , even the performance of this screen is not bad. Rakuten actually customized an OLED screen that performs well. The key point is that this phone actually supports optical under-screen fingerprint recognition and even facial recognition. I have to say no , it’s just a phone. A small cell phone? This specification can only say that Rakuten, you are really serious. It is the Rakuten Hand 5G telecom phone launched by Japan's Rakuten Telecom. Hey, yes , it is the kind of mobile phone created by Telecom that can be taken away with a not-so-high tariff of 0 yuan. So its highlight is not only its small size, but also its specifications. It can be said that it is serious. The key point is that I bought it back. The current second-hand price in Japan is about 7990 yen plus the 10% tax rebate for foreigners. When converted into Taiwan dollars, it is about 1690 yuan . What other cool features does this Rakuten Hand 5G have and how does it perform? Let’s take a look together. I said Rakuten Hand 5G is a small phone that keeps up with the times. You see, the box is also an environmentally friendly design and does not come with a charger. Then I found that there is a rule for unboxing cool phones, which is SIM. The card design is a bit special. If you remember the last episode of Ulefone, when we wanted to insert the SIM card, he actually gave me a disassembly piece because the card slot was super tight , so we had to use a disassembly piece to remove the card slot. And Rakuten What about Hand 5G? Please look at the top left and right bottom . Not only does it not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, it doesn’t even have a card slot. Yes, it does not support physical SIM cards and can only use eSIM , but this is quite reasonable because in Japan, Rakuten Telecom We have confirmed with customer service that we want to reissue the eSIM. It is very simple. Just use the Rakuten App to switch from mobile phone A to mobile phone B. Whether it is from physical to eSIM or eSIM to eSIM, it is completely free, convenient, time -saving and also Free, this is an easy-to-use eSIM. And this is a mobile phone released in early 2022, so it also supports 5G , but the frequency band is only n77. In fact, the first generation Rakuten Hand and Hand 5G are almost the same in functional design, so you can actually think of it. Many modern features have been introduced in 2020. The current official price of Rakuten's new phone is 19,001 yen. Next, let's take a look at the Rakuten Hand 5G. The most outstanding thing is that Rakuten actually customized a 5.1-inch 720p 60Hz AMOLED curved screen. Since it is said to be curved That is to use Flexible OLED. The cost of soft OLED is definitely not low , but it can be made thinner and lighter. It must be one of the secrets of thinness and lightness. In addition , it is good to bring it to LCD at this price. In fact, a small-sized OLED is also customized. It's pretty cool , and don't underestimate it. It only has 720p. If you convert it slightly, the pixel density is 329ppi. The comparative iPhone 8 is 326ppi. Although OLED will be discounted a little more , it is still delicate enough on this small screen . And because it uses OLED . ? What about the picture? It doesn't matter , just show it. You see, because it is an OLED, the black areas are completely non-luminous. Only the text areas will be displayed because it has regional restrictions. Okay , then we will enter the actual measurement of the screen data. First, measure the screen brightness under strong light. The Rakuten Hand 5G can reach 370 nits under the white screen and 425 nits under 10% of the display area. The brightness performance is average. Then we see that the color gamut and color accuracy of the Rakuten Hand 5G screen are in the default mode. It can reach 99% of sRGB, 91% of Adobe RGB and 98% of DCI-P3 color gamut. The performance is not bad and it meets the standard. However, because there is no display mode and color management to switch, there will be mapping that cannot be matched when watching sRGB content. On the CCT, it reaches 7800K and maintains an eye-catching style that is close to what everyone is used to. It is slightly colder. However, Delta E has also reached a high 9.3 at this time. Overall, this screen is fine for daily use but has accurate playability and color. The brightness and brightness are a bit average , but the highlight is that at this price range, they actually customized a small-sized OLED, which is quite sincere. However, we found a problem because the screen should be flipped, so in the direct There will be a slight jelly feeling when sliding in the direction , but because the screen size is not large, the uniformity and viewing angle performance are both at a certain level. For daily users, this screen is definitely more than enough for entry-level LCDs. Performance and because it uses OLED, the light-transmitting characteristics of OLED can enable under-screen fingerprint recognition. Yes, it also has under-screen fingerprint recognition . According to the system information we captured, it uses the white-light under-screen fingerprint sensor from the fingerprint manufacturer Goodix. The speed of the recognition module is not very fast , but it is not as slow as that of Pixel 6. The recognition rate is not bad, and it also supports facial recognition , but the facial speed is average , but at least it has some surprises in the sound effects. Although it is a single speaker , the volume and low frequency are both at a certain level. At the end of the film, a set of actual measurements are also provided for your reference. Let ’s
move on to the appearance. Let’s just focus on the key points. It comes in white, black, and red , all of which are classic and good-looking. My first impression of the entire phone is Light or light enough. Feels good. Good enough. How light? The actual measurement is only 132 grams and it feels better than the iPhone 6 or even the iPhone 5. The reason is that the Rakuten Hand adopts a hyperboloid design, so it is very round in the hand and does not have the gripping feel of the iPhone 5. The width is only 6.3cm, which is 6.9 compared to the iPhone 6. Narrower, even narrower than the 6.4 of the last generation 13 mini, so it’s very easy to operate with one hand and press wherever you want. Compared with today’s mobile phones that weigh more than 200 grams, it feels really great. It’s the same as the Ulefone Armor we unboxed before. 18T can be said to be two extremes. The key point is that not only these Rakuten Hand 5G are actually IP68 dustproof and waterproof, and the workmanship is OK. You see, the volume button and power button are tight. Phones that are ten times more expensive may not be so tight. But the one we have is not sure if it is because it is second-hand. The power button is a little offset. Later I went to Japan to touch other units and it was normal. It should be a case of vibration. If it is an ordinary rotor motor, there is no surprise . And do you want to say it is small? In fact, the screen is not small at all because it uses the modern 19:9 screen ratio, so its length is close to the iPhone 6 and its width is slightly wider than the iPhone 5. But in this area, we turn off the lights and look at the Rakuten Hand 5G. Although it is It’s a small phone but the screen is not small at all. But by 2023 standards, this is definitely a small phone. In terms of performance, the Rakuten Hand 5G we have is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G mobile phone built using Samsung’s 8nm LPP process. The platform is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space, which is probably the positioning of an entry-level mid-range 5G mobile phone. Let me help you position it for performance? First of all, let’s look at the CPU performance. We measured the performance of the two on Geekbench 5. Everyone is more familiar with the Snapdragon 680 and 695, which are built by TSMC’s 6nm process. First of all, we saw the single-core part. Qualcomm really can’t just look at the size of the numbers in recent years. The Snadpragon 480 is actually single-core. It is 34.6% higher than the 680 and 24.5% lower than the Snadpragon 695 (slip of the tongue). In the multi-core part, the Snadpragon 480 is also higher than the 680 and 10% lower than the performance of the Snadpragon 695. However, even if the Snadpragon 695 is considered this year, it is actually just an entry-level product. I won’t waste everyone’s time here to continue analyzing the benchmarks. All the benchmark test results are provided below for your reference. Let’s go directly to the actual test. First, the highest frame rate of PUBG M in the balanced ultra-high frame rate mode for about 30 minutes was It is limited to a maximum of 40FPS for 30 minutes. Surprisingly, it can reach a full running average of 39.5 frames and it is super cool. The front is 28.9 degrees and the back is 28.2 degrees. The power consumption is also very low , only 2W on average . After all, it is built with Samsung's 8nm, and the performance is not that high. What's going on? Then we tested Genshin Liyue, whose load far exceeded the performance of Snapdragon 480. So we didn't embarrass him and just tested low-definition high-definition continuous play for 30 minutes. The average frame rate fell to 35.1 frames , which was still very calm at 34.7 degrees. The temperature on the back is 34.3 degrees. Overall, the performance of this machine is entry-level. We even burned a GPU to test the 20-round stress test of 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. The stability can reach 98.6% steadily. Both the front and back temperatures are at 33 degrees Celsius. If you hold it in your hand, you won't be able to feel the slightest temperature anyway. What 's more special is that by reading the system information, this machine is originally from TINNO , which is the ODM manufacturer Tianlong on the other side of the country. The OEM is an ODM factory that cooperates with many mainstream telecom companies. For example, their official website lists the mainstream telecoms in the United States: AT&T, Sprint , T-Mobile, etc. Next, we will simply test the battery life performance because we have It is a second-hand machine, so please refer to it for reference. It should be 80 to 90% off compared to the new machine. Rakuten Hand 5G has a 2630mAh battery and scored 9 hours and 7 minutes in Bonnie’s battery life test. Look at this number. It is about the edge of one charge per day, so it is recommended to bring a power bank for heavy use. But I think the target customer group of this product should be light users, which also meets the standard of one charge per day. But as mentioned before, this performance may have already There is wear and tear , so if you discount it at 10%, it can reach about 10 hours. With 20% discount, it can reach 11 hours. So if it is 10 hours, it is enough for moderate users to charge it once a day. In the charging part, Rakuten Hand 5G has not officially announced the charging wattage. It supports wireless charging , so according to our actual measurement, it can be charged to 29% in 30 minutes. It takes about 1 hour and 37 minutes to fully charge to 79%. This length of time is about the same as that of the Xperia 1 V iPhone 15 Pro. Finally , I want to mention it because this one is It is a pure Japanese version phone, so it supports the FeliCa sensing function. In other words, you can directly activate a Suica on the Rakuten Hand 5G. This is something that cannot be done with Android phones other than the Japanese version. The activation method is also very simple. I would recommend it to everyone. You can directly apply for a Google Play account in Japan. The method is very simple. Let me start by saying that this section is not business , but I did connect to Japan through Surfshark. Then I reopened the Play Store and directly applied for a new account. You can see that it has been The display switches to Japan , and the homepage is already the content of the Japanese version of Play Store. Now you can search for Suica's official App and follow the steps to apply . Finally, you will see that Suica has been successfully activated and the new Android Suica can be activated without a credit card. It's the same as Apple Pay Suica. You don't need to turn on the phone screen and don't need the Internet to sense it. Anyway, you can think of it as Taiwan's Samsung Pay EasyCard. It's just that Suica is faster. Japanese card reading equipment is really faster. In addition, it's not just Japan. For public transportation, you need to take Suica. It’s OK to go to supermarket vending machines to buy things . You can also top up Suica directly on your phone through your credit card. Friends who go to Japan can also try it. Okay, finally let me show you the camera . The camera is really interesting. The Rakuten Hand 5G has dual lenses , a 64-megapixel main lens and a 2-megapixel depth-of-field lens. According to the system data we captured, this main lens is very familiar to everyone. The performance of the 1/2-inch OV64B selfie lens is actually quite good , and you can see that the width of my hand is wide enough when I extend my hand. It is the ISOCELL 3P9 1.3-inch 16-megapixel selfie lens supplied by Samsung. And as you can see, the camera interface is an entry-level model and it is for telecommunications. Do you think the function of Merchant Machine Machine will be very good? No, he is serious. First of all , he not only has the 2023 must-have AI camera function, portrait mode with a maximum F0.95 large aperture, panoramic mode , it even has a night scene mode and a professional mode. In the professional mode, the shutter can reach a maximum of 30 seconds , and his The main lens is 64 million, so not only can it be four-in-one to 16 million, it can also turn on the full resolution to output 64 million photos. Hey ,
you need to know that the full pixel output function is only available in Pixel this year, and it is even limited to Pixel 8 Pro. Only our benchmark Pixel 7a, which also has 64 million pixels, is limited to only output 16 million pixels. In contrast, although Rakuten Hand lacks algorithm support, its performance is relatively average , but "only looking at the details" is still slightly better than Pixel 7a's. 16 million pixels , so the key point is that at least it can do the recording part . It can only support the recording specification of FHD 30FPS. Although I have said so much before, the Rakuten Hand 5G probably has all the functions but the performance is relatively average. Here are a few sets. Here are the samples for your reference. Well, the show has come to an end. Overall, if you ask me, do I recommend buying Rakuten Hand 5G? Then my answer is definitely not recommended at all , but as a collection or a minimum-demand secondary phone for daily use, the Rakuten Hand is a really cool phone. I think its coolness is limited. The small space with limited budget and practicality can be used to squeeze everything in as much as possible . If you look at it from the perspective of a zero-yuan mobile phone from China Telecom, who would specially customize a small-sized OLED or even a relatively high-cost soft phone? Because of its unique OLED, it can achieve curved surfaces, under-screen fingerprint recognition and even facial recognition. Although the facial performance is average, the camera performance is of a certain level. Even the functions inside, AI night scene , 64 million professional mode , are really everything that should be there. So for friends who are back in Taiwan, I don’t recommend you to buy it at all . If you are in Japan, you are looking for a mobile phone that can be used every day. Rakuten Hand 5G is very thin and light , feels great, has a good screen performance , and the most important thing is that it is cheap. Regardless of the specifications, what do you think? Is it worth it? At least the fun is enough. Of course, if the sub-machine is simply surfing the Internet and answering phone calls , then he really
has zero burden. Let’s start with this episode. Finally , the production of the program is not easy . Please give me your support and welcome to share.
