Finally, Laude’s
newest phone Cyber X8 comes with the confirmed information of it. It has been
near four months since the Laude S800 was on sale. The previous phone S500 and
S800 won great fame for Laude for the fine build quality and low price with
good specifications. Many users like the performance and quality, but asking
for better, outstanding design for it. The brand new Laude Cyber X8 is the
ambition of Laude to win the upmarket.
As the new X series,
Laude X8 is sporting the MT6592M octa-core processor. Its little flaw that the
ROM space is only 8 GB. The support of maximum to 64 GB TF card is quite
necessary. Put the performance aside, X8 has many other highlights: the 720P HD
IPS screen, 8MP rear camera and outstanding design. X8’s 5” HD screen has the
293.8 PPI, it’s almost reach the Retina level: 300 PPI. Frankly speaking, the
1080P FHD resolution will be better display. But you must cut the battery
standby time, or make the phone thick. And the bandwidth of the memory on
MT6592 series is only 5.3 GB/s, which barely meets the smooth display of FHD
screen. At present the HD screen is the best choice for MT6592 processor. It’s also
bright for outdoor use, but reading mass texts is not recommended. The screen
has brilliant viewing-angle. This might not be the best 5” screen, but better
than most of screens of MTK phones.
X8 has the 2MP
front camera and 8MP AF rear camera with high-brightness LED flash. To give a conclusion
to X8’s camera, I will say it’s a typical 8MP camera. It will get you a higher
resolution than the 5MP camera. Now the photos are clearer and you can have
more details. Laude is conservative for the camera optimization. X8’s white
balance is not surprising as other MTK phones and the noise control in
low-light environments is still stumble. The good news is the photo quality is
stable at the most of the time. There’s no weird color-cast or blur. The useful
features like panorama, HDR, smiling detection are supported on my test model.
I quite like the
feel of the phone. It sits comfortably in my hand, though the edges of the
steel frame can are a little sharp. Despite the glossy plastic backing, the
handset has quite a premium feel to it thanks to this metal edging. The power
and volume rockers are on the right, and are easy to reach without any
strenuous finger stretching. The whole design of X8, in one word, is distinctive.
X8 is truly an art masterpiece. The incredible attention to detail shines
through in the stainless steel frame.
