Nut Pro 2S released: In addition to dual systems, there is also an infinite screen that "surpasses" the full screen

Why was trinitrotoluene considered just an ordinary dye for 28 years after its creation?

Three months and five days later, Smartisan Technology held another new product launch conference, and in the pre-conference warm-up copy, it wrote such a suggestive sentence. Considering the corresponding relationship between trinitrotoluene and TNT, this immediately reminds people of the Nut TNT workstation released by Smartisan Technology at the Bird's Nest launch conference in mid-May; of course, in the past three months, Nut TNT has faced many controversies and missed the agreed release date of August 15.

Therefore, for the new product launch of Smartisan Technology on August 20, Leifeng.com is looking forward to more than just the Nut Pro 2S which has been almost exposed.

As expected, 7:30 was redefined again; it was not until 7:51 that Luo Yonghao appeared on the stage and the press conference officially began. Luo Yonghao first explained and apologized for the problems that occurred in the early delivery of Nut R1, and then quoted some good reviews of R1 in the industry as usual - but Luo Yonghao soon talked about Nut TNT, which had almost no good reviews, and his words were still full of confidence.

Then, Nut Pro 2S was unveiled.

Luo Yonghao said that the reason for launching the successor version of Nut Pro 2, Nut Pro 2S, was because Nut Pro 2S was very successful after its release and helped Smartisan Technology achieve a lot of results. This time, Nut Pro 2S was also discussed from three levels: industrial design, configuration and operating system.

Industrial design. The industrial design of the Nut Pro 2S is similar to that of the Nut Pro 2. It adds two more dazzling colors, Glare Blue and Glare Red, while retaining the classic black and white versions. At the same time, for the glare effect, the gold line design of the middle frame of the Nut Pro 2 is only retained in the black version of the Nut Pro 2S, and is removed in other versions. In addition, the chin of the Nut Pro 2S also has three more virtual buttons than the Nut Pro 2, which can increase the screen display space.

Luo Yonghao said that this is still one of the best-looking industrial designs in the industry, especially at this price point.

Configuration:

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor;

• The rear camera is a 12MP + 5MP AI dual camera, supporting AI scene recognition;

• It uses Sony IMX 363 CMOS, supports dual-pixel focus, and has a DXOMARK score of 95 points;

• Fingerprint recognition + face recognition;

• Front 16 million front camera;

• Support TV-OUT 2K ultra-high-definition output;

• It is equipped with a 3600 mAh battery and supports 18W fast charging;

• It is equipped with an 18:9 6.01-inch OLED screen;

• Global linear motor, Type-C interface.

In terms of software and operating system, Luo Yonghao released Smartisan OS 6.6.5 version, which includes TNT, Bullet Messenger and "Infinite Screen".

The first thing to focus on is the TNT section. Luo Yonghao first emphasized that this product has indeed been delayed, mainly due to the difficulty of the operating system; he also emphasized that TNT actually has a keyboard and mouse mode, and Nut R1 and Nut Pro 2S users can directly experience it by connecting their mobile phones to a normal display. In terms of time, the public beta version of Nut R1 can be downloaded and experienced on the official website of Smartisan Technology on August 20, and the Nut Pro 2S can be downloaded and experienced on September 12.

In the Bullet Messenger section, Luo Yonghao once again gave a more detailed demo of Bullet Messenger. Specifically, Bullet Messenger can achieve the following:

• Allow users to attach a voice message when sending text messages via voice input (the progress bar can be used to adjust it independently);

• You can send SMS messages directly in the SMS list interface without entering the SMS conversation interface;

• Direct quick text messaging via the flash capsule button and floating icon;

• Not only Hammer phones, Android and iOS users can download the Bullet SMS APP for use;

• If one of the two parties in the conversation is not a Bullet Messenger user, they can still communicate through text and browser pages.

When it comes to the "Infinite Screen" session, Luo Yonghao said that the smartphone industry has been madly pursuing full screens. As far as the golden screen size is concerned, 5.5 to 6 inches is the most mainstream, but this still faces the problem of efficiency and portability. For this reason, Smartisan Technology launched the concept of Infinite Screen. Specifically, users can enter this mode by sliding up the virtual key, and then enter a virtual large-screen switching mode; by moving the phone screen, they can switch interfaces, select applications, expand the map screen (currently supports AutoNavi Maps), view panoramic pictures (viewing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was demonstrated on site), and even hold the phone high to directly enter the selfie mode.

Luo Yonghao said that the "infinite screen" experience is dreamy and can be said to be a subversive interactive experience.

Leifeng.com learned that behind the realization of the "infinite screen" experience, Smartisan Technology utilized sensors such as facial recognition, gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, and also integrated technologies from companies such as Megvii, AutoNavi Maps, and Noitom, and ultimately developed it through collaboration.

Zhu Xiaomu, vice president of product experience at Smartisan Technology, told Leifeng.com that the "Infinite Screen" function was conceived around the Smartisan Technology 515 Bird's Nest press conference, and then it took three months to initially implement. In terms of practical functions, the "Infinite Screen" hopes to solve all the scene problems that require Zoom In & Out (finger zoom) on current smartphones; but at the same time, the "Infinite Screen" is also a metaphor, hoping that users can open a new operating system interface through a smartphone to present more pictures and content - in addition, the "Infinite Screen" can also fit the trend of AR/VR to a certain extent.

In terms of price, which users are most concerned about, the starting price of Nut Pro 2S is 1,798 yuan (4+64 GB version), 1,998 yuan for 6+64 GB version, and 2,298 yuan for 6+128 GB version. In addition, to coincide with the release of Nut Pro 2S, Luo Yonghao also released several peripheral accessories, including mobile phone cases, Bluetooth speakers, etc.

In addition, Luo Yonghao also announced at the conference that Smartisan Technology will hold a press conference later this year to "release something that no one believes in"; not only that, Smartisan Technology also plans to write its own operating system within half a year, and it will not be based on the Android system.

During the interview session at the launch event, Smartisan Technology Vice President Wu Dezhou said that the reason why people had a bad evaluation of the Nut TNT workstation in the past few months was essentially because they did not know enough about it. In fact, TNT is not just an Android phone converted to a large screen, it is a true PC-level operating system - you can experience this for yourself from the Beta version.

He also emphasized that Smartisan Technology will continue to develop TNT.

Leifeng.com Summary

Compared with the launch at the Bird's Nest three months ago, Leifeng.com feels that this launch is quite pleasantly surprised. The Nut Pro 2S is undoubtedly a reasonably priced product; in terms of quantifiable hardware, the non-notch screen design, IMX363 CMOS sensor, 3600 mAh battery and other features give the Nut Pro 2S a clear advantage over its direct counterparts (such as Xiaomi Mi 8 SE) - and the starting price of 1,798 yuan makes the benchmarking more meaningful (after all, the starting price of Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is 1,799 yuan).

In addition, given that the demo effect at the 515 Bird's Nest press conference was not ideal, Luo Yonghao brought a lot of surprises to the press conference with the "infinite screen" function of Smartisan OS; although the implementation principle of the "infinite screen" function is not very complicated, and it still requires a large degree of technical integration, and it is not perfect, but in the view of Leifeng.com, this is indeed an imaginative and innovative interactive solution - it also brings a touch of novelty to the increasingly convergent and boring field of mobile operating systems.

Of course, it is not an easy task for Smartisan Technology to build a completely independent desktop operating system. While the smartphone business needs to continue to consolidate its foundation, TNT still needs to spend more time to enhance its products and industry persuasiveness. Therefore, we still need to wait for the next press conference this year to see the results.
