I was fortunate to obtained an opportunity to test the latest smartphone called
KingSing T1 a couple of days ago, it is also my pleasure to have the priority to use it. So without further ado, I left my Samsung S3 immediately, which I frequently used to for the past one year and suited
KingSing T1 up, let’s see how
KingSing T1 performed.

1. Appearance
As far as entire looking is concerned,
KingSing T1’s fuselage is more fashionable with smooth fruity body design compared to its own series K3 and K5, honestly, it is more like a combination of K3 and K5, which is extremely vogue.(picture above)

Of course, the most prominent point is the 5-inch touch screen, I think the dimension of the screen is fittest, it is too large to put into the pocket for those over 5-inch screen smartphone and too dull to operate for those under 5-inch screen cell phone(picture above).

As for the back cover, T1 adopted the plastic material with something similar to leather texture, you will have the feeling like the smartphone is protected by a case at first glance, if fact it is not. It has enhanced the gripping for holding and also satisfy the demand for younger generation(picture above).
2. Display Screen
The advantages of
KingSing T1’s touch screen are ultra large size and luminance. In order to highlight its traits and declare the disadvantages, I made a comparison between S3 and T1. I have to declared in advance that the resolution of the screen from T1 is only 960*540, while S3 is up to 1280*720, so the legibility is not the same level obviously, nevertheless, let’s find out how huge the discrepancy is!

From the dimension of the screen, the difference between 5.0-inch screen and 4.8-inch screen is tiny, however, you can see the difference from the picture apparently(picture above) .


Coming up is the comparison of colors, from the picture, obviously the brightness of T1’s touch screen is much better than S3; on the contrary, S3 trend to be more smoother and slightly darker(pictures above, left one is T1).

Moreover, after setting the darkest luminance for both smartphones , the discrepancy is prominent obviously, the screen color from T1 is better than S3.(picture above, left one is T1)


Now is the comparison of luminance, from the picture that can tell the truth. Under normal lights or dark circumstance, the luminance of T1 is way way better than S3.(pictures above, left one is T1)
The last one is the legibility, although T1’s screen looks much brighter than S3, however, more details from the pictures can explained that the S3 performed better legibility than T1, of course you may said the resolution is apparent different, that is true! To sum up, despite of the disadvantages of legibility, it is not easy to performed such a great display effect and broader perspective, don’t forget the resolution discrepancy in advance. After testing this
KingSing T1, I barely found out any inconvenience that made by the disadvantage of legibility. In contrast, I’d prefer T1’s display touch screen thanks to the brighter reading environment.
3.Battery Capacity
Now I’d like to talk about the battery capacity and standby competence.
KingSing T1 equipped with a 2800mAh battery, while S3 is 2100mAh. In order to obtained a fair result under fair occasion, I have played an role as a consumer and tested it for one ordinary day. So at 9:41am, frist day of June, after the battery is fully charged, I took off the charger and adjusted the phone under “normal mode” and 80% screen luminance, the testing day started!!!I have to mentioned in advance that I’m a game enthusiasm, so once any leisure time is available, I will definitely play some games. That day is Chinese traditional day “dragon boat festival” and also my family day by coincidence, so on the way to picnic, about one hour or so, I played several large games like Temple-run 2, Candy-pop, Plants versus Zombies. Owning to the reason that playing all the time, I haven’t noticed or marked the consumption for every single games, however, I have marked down the duration for each games, each applications, until 1:27am the next day, which is 2nd June, the battery of the cell phone left 1% only and then shuttle down itself. So, within this 16 hours and 50 minutes,
I have done:
1.Watched half an hour of “Friends, Sixth Season Episode Three”, full screen watching
under 75% volume.
2.Watched half an hour for Internet surfing, Sports News.
3.Played Temple-run 2 eight times, total 25+10+17+15+11+9+17+17minutes,
approximately two hours
4.Played Candy-pop two times, 16+20 minutes, total 38 minutes.
5.Refreshed Sina Wei-bo for 15 minutes.
6.Took 10 pictures.
7. Others are the standby time
To make a conclusion, the score is in medium level for a 5-inch ultra large screen. Interestingly, under the normal mobile data mode, the performance of standby time from T1 is much better than S3, which impressed me a lot. As for the extra battery, you can take the above example for reference.
4. Details On Side
Now we nee to pay more attention on the details on the side of both smartphones. All buttons and ports are designed at the same places, however, T1 is more concise and succinct indeed.


5.Entertainment Applications

Both T1 and S3 has equipped with a function called “voice search”, although the function from S3 is not powerful than iPhone’s, it is still useful in a way. However, T1’s voice search function is flawed. No matter how many times I tried, like “call”, “temple-run”, the same result was showed as “unavailable temporary”. After plenty try and I finally speed up my voice, slow down the speed and said “call”, eventually it reacted. Unfortunately, the search result is
complete different from what I said, which let me down.(The previous three pictures are T1, the fourth is S3)
6. Network Application

Now I will test the network surfing performance by its built-in browser. Facing to plenty of pictures and thousands of words, the loading speed is extremely fast and powerful, there is no frustrated feeling when rolling the screen or magnifying the pictures.(pictures above)
In addition, it is easily to open any video online by the built-in browser, more details please refer to the pictures. (picture underneath)

7. Music Player

In the aspect of music, T1 is fully support MP3,WAV,AMR,AWB formats, which satisfy the demand for most music enthusiasm. Furthermore, when the music player is running at the background, you can adjust the player by pulling the “notification column” down, which provide more convenience for users.(pictures above)
8. Processing Performance
KingSing T1 equipped with an 1.7 GHz Octa-core, MTK6592 platform, Android 4.2 processor, while S3 adopted Exynos4412 1.5GHz Quad-core processor. As a normal consumer like most of you who can’t distinguished the difference between these two processor, which one is good or which one is bad. I have recorded a short video to show you the difference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmsH8jvhTCk&feature=youtu.beApparently, the reacting speed and flexibility of T1 is much better than S3. You may said it unfair to compare an eight-core processor to a four-core processor, but don’t forget about the price as well!
9. Camera And Video
KingSingT1 equipped with 2.0MP front camera and 5.0MP rear camera combination, personally speaking, I think this combination is too conservative, moreover, it is slightly un-match the 5-inch large touch screen because the demand for a better camera configuration is increased rapidly

Anyway,.
KingSing T1 provided more modes available for selection, like normal mode, face mode, panorama mode, users can freely swith to any modes when taking pictures. Moreover, the brightness, color balance can be adjusted easily in order to commit the perfect picture taking effect. (pictures above)
Compared to T1, Samsung S3 adopted with 2.0MP front camera and 8.0MP back camera. Anyway, let’s find out the difference at the performance. The first group of picture are taken under the mid-noon, strong sunshine. (pictures underneath, the first one is T1, second one is S3)


Apparently, there is still more improvement needed to be enhanced, the brightness is too shine and it is vague as well, so basically, it is not that ideal. However, let’s see another group that taken indoor.(pictures underneath, the first one is T1, second one is S3)


Obviously, the performance on brightness and legibility is much better than the previous picture, the difference between S3 is tiny as well, surely the difference is related to the pixels discrepancy.
Next is the comparison of front camera. Interestingly, although adopting the same pixels 2.0MP front camera, the effect that taken by two different cameras are completely different.(pictures underneath, the fist one is T1, the second one is S3)


It is not hard to find that S3 performed better than T1, no matter on legibility, brightness or fineness, which impressed me a lot. The last one is the video, I have recorded a short video to display its own performance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrcAIfFqdsc&feature=youtu.beFrom the video we can tell the effect is just about OK, so far so good. In addition, more settings can be adjusted according to different requirements.

To sum up,
KingSing T1’s camera competence is on medium level.
10. Scoring Test
Mentioned at previous paragraphs,
KingSing T1 equipped with a powerful “heart”, it adopted with a 1.7GHz, Octa-core processor, hence, its advantages on the following test is huge. Using S3 as comparison factor as usual, S3 equipped with 1.5GHz, Quad-core processor, theoretically, it is hard for T1 to be beaten, so let’s find out the performance on the below test.
Antutu Test


Antutu is a application that designed to test the device’s single or entire performance, competence of hardware or software, so the more points the device scored, the more excellence it performed. Apparently, T1 scored over 26000 points while S3 scored just 17000 points. Furthermore, in the comparison of other smartphones,
KingSing T1 still lists on top class. It is the optimum choice to run large games or application, especially suitable for game enthusiasm. (pictures above, the first group is T1, the second is S3)
NENAMARK 2 Test


NENAMARK 2 is a kind of tool that can test the handling ability to pictures by displaying a short demo, the more points it scored, the better hardware acceleration it possessed. From the comparison, it is hard to find out the difference as both two smartphones scored decent points.(The first group is T1, the second group is S3)

11. Conclusion
According to the test of
KingSing T1, although there is a long way to excess to those famous manufacturer like Apple, Samsung, the smartphone that manufactured in China is stable with high performance, we anticipate more high-tech, sophisticated smartphone coming up in China around the corner. Anyway, go back to the test, for normal consumer, for instance, me myself, if you don’t have high expectation on smartphone, just asking for smoother game playing, fast processing speed, smooth Internet surfing, fluent video watching, if you are the one who don’t think highly of all aspects, I strongly recommend to you this
KingSing T1 smartphone. Of course, if you expect a perfect smartphone, perhaps you will not take it into consideration, but don’t forget about the price and the high cost-effective, with less 170 US dollars, you can capture this enjoyment, it is convincing!
