BALMUDA PHONE review.No need for your life, the President's "self -satisfaction" defective design - Summahon !!

　I will review the smartphone "BALMUDA PHONE" of BALMUDA, a home appliance maker.The SoftBank version is 143,280 yen, and the direct sales market version (SIM free model) costs 1008,000 yen.

　This machine appeared with a sign of a brand called Balmuda.There were pros and cons on the net, and I think there were many negative opinions.

　Although the commentary is free, the only thing I am not accepted is the extremely simple discourse of garbage because Snapdragon 765 exceeds 100,000 yen.

　It is not the only SOC that makes up a smartphone.There are various parts, software, and form factors, and there are products that are highly dustled and different in other parts even if the processing performance is lacking.In an easy -to -understand example, LG WING and Razr 5G, which are overwhelming gimmicks, are equipped with Snapdragon 765/G for 100,000 yen to 170,000 yen.The BLACKBERRY KEY2 that I love was 80,000 yen to 90,000 yen for Snapdragon 660, but I still felt that it was a god machine and there was no alternative, so I purchased the fourth Key2.

　In addition, no matter how much Snapdragon 800 series, there are Galaxy FE series, Xiaomi T series, etc., as Cospa High ends that are trying to reduce costs in various parts, and 120,000 yen while lacking in specifications that should be used as a high -end machine.There is also an example of ARROWS 5G sold and sold at a very disproportionate price.

　You can see how ridiculous the discourse is because Snapdragon 765 exceeds 100,000 yen.If this is garbage, there is too little information input to output.

　So how about actually buying and using Balmuda Phone?Even if this unit is equipped with Snapdragon 888, this unit will not be recommended at all.It is a tastefulness that you can even feel even "stunned".

Index

　The special note of this unit is the design.Certainly, the size and design that are easy to hold are very good.Ten years ago, a rounded organic design model was also scattered.Sony Ericsson and that were also round shapes.I personally remembered Palm Pre.

There are many opinions on SNS on SNS, similar to iPhone 3G/3GS, pakuri.

　I really like this round back itself.Certainly it is easy to hold.The embossed BALMUDA logo is personally in the way, but it may be nice for fans.At the moment, the back is a plastic, so it is a leather -like shiny paint, so I think the touch is very good, but I think it is usually vulnerable to scratches and dirt.

　President Terao claimed that if you use it for a long time, it will taste.According to a certain manufacturer, the wound is that "it is possible if the painting is devised."However, on Twitter, there are voices that it turns blue as soon as it is in a denimsbon pocket and regrets that it is regrettable, so I see at least that it is necessary to pay attention to dirt, so when drinking coffee at home.Is a nervous, such as keeping Balmuda Phone away from Balmuda Phone.I do not wear a protective case because I am a "naked tribe", but there is still no noticeable scratches or dirt so far.

　I don't think it's so wonderful that the official website claims to be "art".The fingerprint authentication on the back and the camera are also asymmetric.

　Moreover, you mistakenly touch your finger with the camera and fingerprint authentication.When you hold it with your left hand, the index finger naturally comes to the position of fingerprint authentication, but it is not so if it is the right hand.You need to move your finger to fingerprint authentication.You can operate one -handed, but you can get inconvenient with your right hand.

　The front is flat.The in -camera is located in the punch hole.As smartphones are promoting a narrow depot, the front camera was unavoidably incorporated as a punch hole notch on the screen.However, I felt a strong sense of incongruity in this unit, which has a punch hole, even though there is a picture frame up and down.

　Moreover, the front camera is too large while the screen is small, so the status bar is two steps.

　If you have a hole or not not a hole or a ratio screen without notch, it can be an advantage in watching videos, but the punch hole tends to get in the way.There are holes in the video, and the display area of the video is large and narrow.

　However, it is easy for fingers to reach the top because the height is not so much, and one -handed operation is easy.On the other hand, one of the reasons for modern smartphones has been vertically longed is the increase in the amount of scroll SNS information display, so the screen is narrow and it is not always easy to use.

　Recent apps do not support narrow screens, and various apps have strange displays.You need to review the application settings.Even the standard status bar can go wrong.If the character size is small from the OS setting and the display size is small, various problems are less likely to occur.

　Power button and fingerprint authentication sensor.This is the worst.I can't unlock it in one shot.After pressing the power once, turns the screen, and the fingerprint authentication sensor works from there.There is no such troublesome model.Most of the fingerprint authentication of most models can be locked immediately by simply touching the screen.

　Especially, "you have to push the power button on the back" is strict.It would be nice if it was a side.It is natural because it puts your hand on the other side and sandwiches it.This is on the back, so you need to focus on it.If you try to unlock one shot with your index finger only with your right hand, you may think that the finger of my finger is small, but the finger other than the index finger will bite into the edge of the screen, and the fingers will hurt.

President Terao himself designed himself and claimed that it was organic, but it is easy to understand when viewed from the side, but it is unnaturally noticeable that the contact between the back side and the flat front is unnaturally sharp.Be

　For this reason, it is best to once press the power button at the tip of the human finger, turn on the screen, then change the posture of the index finger and unlock it with the belly of the index finger.This is inconvenient and inevitable.It may be "look on the lock screen".

　This unit does not support face authentication.You have to use fingerprint authentication that is difficult to use.

　Battery consumption increases, but screen lighting is possible by shift/lifting.It will always be detected with the sensor, but I do not want to enable it because the battery life is bad.I only think, "Because it is a luxury machine, the area around the biometric authentication should be decent hardware."It is inevitably enabled.

　Also, even if this is enabled, it is the same to feel stressed because the power button is pushed in before putting it in the pants pocket.I think that the power button and biological authentication that are all basics, whether it is a luxury machine or a low -priced aircraft is useless.

　The back is rounded like an egg, and it is unstable when placed from the back on the desk.It will even rotate.Playing a video on the desk is not very suitable.

　By the way, it is not possible to attach to a tripod or car mount.

　The speakers are monaural, and while the sound is sounding, the surroundings are shaking and ringing, and the sound quality feels bad.The position is strange, so if you play videos and music, you tend to be blocked.I think that the subtle sound quality may give a more weird impression.Isn't it bad considering the price range?

　In the first place, I rarely watch videos, opened Twitter, listened to a little music, and enjoyed the daily life of going to ramen and coffee shops while using navigation on Google Map.But what about?It will decrease.The battery decreases with great momentum.1 hour 10%.Although it does not decrease too much during waiting, it is difficult to use it as a main machine for one day in my use because it will decrease dramatically during use.That should be it, the battery capacity of this unit is only 2500mAh.

　At first I thought I could read it from a "digital detox" theme.

　President Terao says.When the center of life is a smartphone and the number of people looking at the screen is increasing.

　So, the theme of this unit is a digital detox, is this aircraft used not to be placed from the round back, but a "screen side" down, that is, hiding down?I guessed.

　In fact, the edge of the flat screen is surrounded by protrusions, so that the screen part does not contact even if it is laid down.

　And you can see the notification LED light on the back placement, so you can see when the notification comes.In this case, the speaker will not be blocked.

　So lift and press the power button to look at the lock screen.Especially if there is no notification on the lock screen, put it on the desk without messing with the smartphone.Isn't the inconvenient specification that the screen lighting and fingerprint authentications are performed at the same time reflected that detox concept and made it inconvenient?

　Yes, isn't this what happens every day is out of the screen?I guess it was Kore what I wanted to do with BALMUDA PHONE.

　...... Let's put the questions such as "No, is it strange that there is a Qi on the back?"

　If so, at the presentation of the presentation, "I was poor in the past, I read a book from a Sirkkon Valley IT company I read at that time, I wanted to make a PC for many years, started a company, and it was difficult to run a company.This is not the case when you keep talking about what you care about, and the message on the official website has a thin sentence that calls Jobs.Because of this kind of digital detox product concept, you should talk about the most of the products that made this way.

　By the way, in the Jobs Plusen Maru Pakuristile, "Continue trial and error 4.We derived that type 8 is the best size!"But I compromise because I can't get into it because I can't get into it..The 9th type was made, "said President Terao, and as expected, I gushed out.You came to get a laugh completely.If you send out the product to the world with really confidence, it's simply "4.Type 9 is the best, "which is the honesty for customers who pay 140,000 yen to their products.

　If it's really a digital detox, you'll think it's okay to check the notification with an electronic paper or back sub -display, or consider abolishing the in -camera.I think it would be interesting if I did that.

　It's really too bad to have a few explanations on digital detox.If you have created a model that you use for the concept, you should have a proud presentation.I thought it was incomprehensible to be too insufficient.

　However, IT writer, Satoshi Nakayama, said to the developer, "If you put the round back on the desk), it will be unstable and all the sounds go behind.When asked, he answered, "I have made a good sound by making it resonate to the side I put."It is not a model that is used down.At least it doesn't seem to be an important theme.

　In this case, the detoxual claim that President Terao talked a little is not a product theme, but a "retrofit" ...?The suspicion crosses my head.

　As mentioned in the presentation, as it is on the official website, the president simply wanted to make a round and small smartphone.Isn't it really more or less?

　Here is the idea."Round back".This is the only subject that cannot be yielded.President Terao writes the design sketch that this is good anyway.

　Well, what to do?Technology and costs are required to spread the battery in the round shape, so the battery capacity should be compromised.At the end of the round, the vertical bezel part of the round, some parts are difficult to place a speaker or camera.Then, put both the speaker and the notification LED on the back.The in -camera is on the screen because it can't be helped.

　However, due to the round back, the battery life and the sound quality are sacrificed, and the screen has a large hole and narrow.How can it justify?

　...... There is a magic word and digital detox.If you are a conscious BALMUDA fan, put the horizontal characters that you can deceive.In this case, it can be an excuse to make an effort to pack the battery capacity.Don't look at your smartphone, concentrate on your life!

　Perhaps you use a convenient word as an exemption mark that imposes an unreasonable design and affirms that you cannot overcome the wrinkles.

　There is another reason to assert that this unit will not be a digital detox.This will be described later.

　In other words, this is really a completely presentation, and is it a model that President Terao wanted to make, and there was no "model he wanted to use" at all?

Jobs -like presentation that was controversial.I just think that Jobs Fan and I like old iPhone

　In fact, President Terao tweeted on Twitter for iPhone.If you want to use it, you should be happy to use it from the prototype.I guess I liked the round back and small iPhone 3G/3GS.I love Jobs's iPhone, I wanted to make it, not even more or less.

　There is no perspective of the user.I feel like it's a trivial, self -satisfied product.The technical capabilities that ensure the quality of the selling price that are committed through the self -satisfaction are not investing in the outsourcing manufacturer.

　Kyocera should go back if this design cannot be dropped.The iPhone 3GS should already be rounded and the side part should be rounded.This is because this can allocate parts on the upper and lower bezels.

　Both the front camera and LED should be placed on the upper bezel.No stupid punch hole is required.There is no problem that the finger hits the side edge when pressing the power supply and fingerprint authentication sensor on the back.You can solve various problems.

　I want to be a professional, but I want to design my own, but I want to design myself.It has fallen into a design that does not.

　I can pierce sharp, peaky and unique models, but in this case, I have no choice but to compare with other models.

　The screen has a big hole on the screen and the 60Hz drive liquid crystal, the sound quality is poor, but the camera is also bad.

　The impression is slightly narrowed by monocular and angle of view.During the day, you can take a picture normally, but the AF was slow, especially when shooting a close subject.The following is an example.

　A low -priced model, a low -end ability that is easily affected by Moro even if the conditions are a little poor.It is not suitable for backlight, under strong light source, night view/low illuminance.

　This unit does not have automatic switching by AI or auto, and requires manual cooking/person/night view mode.Tedious.Anyway, various modes are also subtle, regardless of if you can get a great effect on your hand.The cooking mode that simply increases the saturation and fills it is 5 years ago.No manual mode.

　The left is usually the manual night view mode on the right.The sky is noisy, shadows and crushed ditails are no good.

　As a price range, it is a difference in cloud and mud compared to a luxury machine in the first half of the 100,000 yen generations, and a 20,000 yen model will be appropriate as a comparison target.Even if it is a 20,000 yen model, there is about auto.It is said that it is still better than the fingerprint authentication that even fingerprint authentication is reduced to one fishing for one fishing, a baramaki machine OPPO A55S (AQUOS SENSE3 Basic Positive).

　Despite the public market version, I can't erase the camera shutter sound.

　An amazing point of this unit is that the shutter sound is heard even when shooting screenshots.Forcibly sounding this is not rational at all.In the past, there were many such manufacturers, but the major manufacturers who do not do these basic things are about Google's pixel, which is no longer localized.IPhone, Galaxy, Xperia, AQUOS, Xiaomi, as a matter of course, do not sound with screenshots.Even Arrows doesn't sound anymore.Even if it sounds, it is natural that it will disappear in conjunction during the manner mode.

　When playing a game on a train and screens the game screen, reading a book at a library or a quiet coffee shop, when writing a search result on the net with a session, such a stressful machine sounds like a screenshot.I think the price is 0 yen at a time, but it is not worth using it as the main machine.

　Snapdragon 765 5G is not a bad SoC.There is a moderate power.

　No matter how powerful, the screen has a hole, so it is a hindrance to games and videos.Normally, the screen ratio is like 20: 9, so there are many people who can compromise because the punch hole comes to the black band at the end of the screen, but since this unit is 16: 9, this unit is 16: 9.And videos and punch holes are more likely to overlap.

　There is no model of 100,000 yen or 140,000 yen.

　There are some parts that I think is good in the details.For example, sound.The charging sound "Cuin" is cute.

　Also, the notification bars of the notification bars have good sense, such as "sound/vibration" for sound/vibes, lanterns for LED lights, and in -flight mode.

　If you swipe the label on the home screen, the application startup is not attractive because it is enough to start up with the arranged eye coat.

　The original app is a clock, and the calculator is honestly irrelevant.Notepad is possible, but it cannot be synchronized with other devices notepads.What you need to see is a calendar, and multi -device synchronization is possible via Google Calendar.If you are packing your schedule every day, it may be fun to check it graphically.However, a normal calendar app is enough for the author who does not put so much in the schedule.If you think that the terminal price is rising due to the development costs of these unused apps, it may be a negative point.

　Suppose it was a model designed for digital detox luxuriously for 100,000 yen and 140,000 yen.Let's think so.

　What is digital detox?It's about focusing on other things without thinking about your smartphone.

　But this unit compromised on packing the battery capacity.Thanks to this, there is no battery all day, so in the evening, the battery level of the smartphone is concerned.

　"The video has a small screen and has holes, and the batteries are greatly reduced, so I don't see it as much as possible, but even if I look at LINE and SNS, my friends send videos and videos URLs.Isn't it?Just checking SNS will be considerably reduced.

　"Is there still a battery? Do you have it until you get home? The URL of the video you just sent, you have to remember watching while connecting the charger after returning home.What if I enter? Would you like to charge at a coffee shop? If you have a mobile battery, do you have to charge the mobile battery from tomorrow? "

　If I think about this, can I make a digital detox?It is impossible.

　In this case, Sharp is planning and developing, saying, "Let's break the situation where the smartphone is always charged in one corner of the head and enjoy more every day."It would be better to buy the skipping AQUOS SENSE3, the latest model AQUOS SENSE6.

　Nevertheless, there is a need for a digital detox "inconvenient, small, small battery -capacity simple terminal".This need is a terminal like Jelly2, Palm Phone, and Rakuten Mini/Hand.

　However, all of these are cheap at around 20,000 yen.You can buy a digital detox device without buying a terminal of 100,000 yen or 140,000 yen.Because it is 20,000 yen, there is a budget to buy other terminals.It is clear how to use it, "Please use only on holidays," "Please use it in combination with tablets, etc."For those who are familiar, they will replace the SIM appropriately or use multiple units.

　But Balmuda Phone will be different.The target is to advertise on TV or magazines, sell with SoftBank's sales power, and do not change SIM frequently and do not have multiple units.Can such people use it?There is no battery, and it cannot be digital detox as expected.The screen is inconvenient, the sound is bad, the camera is bad, and the camera is not good.The Balmuda brand is no longer damaged.

　Detox should be stopped by forcing inconvenience fundamentally.If it is a low -priced model, that would be a strange ingenuity and subtraction.However, if it is a luxury machine that costs 100,000 yen and 140,000 yen from the customer, there should be a method suitable for a luxury machine.

　If you have a budget for 140,000 yen, you should still buy Galaxy Z Flip3.The battery capacity is 3300mAh, and the notification is displayed on an easy -to -read sub screen, so you don't have to open your smartphone.If you open it, you can use it comfortably on the screen of the high -end smartphone as well as the SNAPDRAGON 888, so you can finish your business immediately with a comfortable screen and comfortable processing performance, close the screen, and get up outside the smartphone.You will be able to concentrate on your life.This is more facing the subject of digital detox.

If you put it on the desk, you can do the time, notification, and music control during playback on the sub -display.Although it is expensive as 140,000 yen, it is an ambitious work that can realize a life that cuts a smartphone as much as possible with the latest technology.

　After using the Balmuda Phone, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't just a digital detox for excuses of an unskilled product.

　Selling it at such a price is too terrible.I don't think this will be recommended to someone.This is not the smartphone you should buy in your life.You should also consider it from the model name mentioned so far, and if you buy a small smartphone, you should also consider the iPhone mini or the iPhone SE series.

　Rakuten mini and Jelly2 are inconvenient because they have good batteries and have a small screen.If you think this has grown, it's not a pear as an option.If Balmuda Phone is about 20,000 yen, it would have been worth purchasing.Even so, if you put it in Snapdragon 400s or less in 40,000 yen or less, more people will be supported from the housing that is easy to hold.Even if it costs about 60,000 yen, there may have been people who would evaluate if the Kyocera -like smart sonic receiver (a function that vibrates the entire display panel and conveys the sound as a speaker), and the waterproof and dust -resistant MIL standard.。(BALMUDA PHONE is only water -resistant, not compatible with smart sonic receivers)

　Originally, Balmuda is a popular manufacturer for stylish home appliances.Kyocera is a unique manufacturer that shines if it makes a evil tough toughness smartphone that can be used in the sea, a niche galaho, and a corporate Snadora 800 series Android router, although it cannot make a sexual championship model.It is extremely difficult to ask Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which can be made from tanks to track collection cars, to make a stylish EV sports car.

　I think that Leica and SHARP alliance was a meaningful and happy marriage with the birth of a type 1 camera smartphone with tremendous possibilities, but the opposite was the same.

　If BALMUDA and Kyocera had to form, it would have been better to make it with Galaho.Since Kyocera has made Infobar XV and electronic paper card mobile phones, G'zone Type-XX, it seems that a mobile terminal that seems to be BALMUDA is not a failed work of self-satisfaction.

It wasn't perfect, but I like the Infobar that Kyocera worked on

　If you are using a smartphone in the shape of a smartphone, you have the understanding that "smartphones are used like this."Excuses do not work.BALMUDA PHONE is just a smartphone with a bad battery.There is an understanding that "Garakae is used this way", so it will surely be OK.If it is for Galaho, it also makes sense to make your own app.A lot of software that restricted many can be deceived even if the battery cannot be clogged.And since the galaho itself is rare, it may be allowed to some extent even if it is a stupid price.

　It is a manufacturer that does not make a home appliance into IoT and enters a smartphone, so it is appropriate.I want you to make a galaho in the future.

　Originally, new smartphones with these unique designs should be welcomed.The mature android OS has made it easier to create a terminal even with the minimum customization.The manufacturer who entered the future is to make sure that the manufacturer is "choosing a consignment that can realize product planning" and "do not make a stupid judgment of the price several times in the development cost of unused apps", so that the design idea is shining.I hope that it will send you a wonderful product that makes use of it.It should lead to new fans without dropping the brand value and stock price of the main business.
