If we would be comparing the chinese manufacturer UHANS to the world renowned phone makers, we would surely come to the conclusion the brand is totally unknown and minor.
But comparing their latest model UHANS S1 with the competition on design level it’s pretty much possible to put on the same level as the best pieces like iPhone 6S, Samsung Galaxy S7 or Huawei P9. Let’s look at the theoretical duel more closely.
If we put all the phones side by side the differences are not that visible at first glance, though the iPhone 6S just emanates the aesthetic design hand in hand with the promise of luxury and the Samsung S7 just screams about being luxury, technology and comfortable piece all in one.
Huawei P9 is trying to go slightly different way with looking deceptively simple, yet extremely elegant and desirable. Apparently the UHANS S1 is trying to mimic this design of simplicity, modesty and elegance.
Comparing the displays of all the phones it’s obvious that manufacturers are oscillating around the ideal 5-inch size while Huawei P9 being 5.2-inch one, Samsung S7 5.1-inch one and iPhone 6S 4.7-inch one. All of them are also following the latest trend with 2.5D curved displays.
Gizchina News of the week
Looking at the Home buttons with integrated fingerprint scanners it’s obvious that both Huawei and UHANS manage to love without that, while Samsung is spotting the elipse shaped Home button and the iPhone circular. Both of the chinese brands opted for the fingerprint scanner located on the back of the device.
Comparing the rear cameras reveals the fact, that except the Samsung all the manufacturers tend to gravitate towards the solution of placing the camera lens more to the left upper part.
Thickness comparison is more or less wash when all the devices look pretty similar with matching design of the controls too. But quick glance into the tech spec sheet can reveal that the iPhone 6S is only 6.9mm thin, while the UHANS S1 is 7.3mm thin, Samsung S7 is 7.9mm thin and Huawei P9 is 6.95mm thin.
When taking all those facts and pictures into perspective it’s clear that design-wise all of the phones are not that much different. So the customer searching for style, beauty and functionality has many options to choose from.
Is this what GizChina will just be from now on? Poorly written puff pieces (or straight up advertising) passed off as journalism?
It seems as if the only substantive articles on this site are written by Andi with the other “writers” being used as pen names for thinly disguised advertisements. As poorly written as they are it is possible that the articles are written by a Chinese person and submitted for publication to the site. I assume that there is either payment or quid pro quo of some type for this service. Nothing to be scandalized about as the site needs to be supported and it is common practice among similar ones.
However, I have to say that this piece is particularly uninspiring, just laying a low level phone next to the top phones at the moment and implying that there is little difference on the basis of external similarities. I much prefer the sadistic smashing and bashing articles where there are rigged attempts to destroy the phone which are, of course, unsuccessful.
I think Yash also contributes some valuable articles, but yes in general I agree that I think most of the “writers” here are empty pen names used for advertising. It is actually quote common for advertising companies you contact sites asking that they be allowed to write an article for you, in turn you are compensated.
Designs of the mobile phones now are not innovative. More longing to see the using experience.
