I have the HiSense A7 CC, anything you want to ask?

wizz · 03-15-2021, 07:45 AM

I am using the A7 CC (color) for 3 weeks now. I also have the prior A5 model (black & white).

Let me know if there is anything you are interested in.

Cheers,
Fr

I'd be interested in seeing a macro close-up of the "new improved colour screen", to see how they've changed the colour filter over the one in the A5 CC.

I made a few pictures.
Some of Routing aps like Osmand and Komoot
and some of browsing a newspaper

In real the colors are better.

Without background light!

You'll probably need a really good macro function on a camera, or a USB microscope to get a good close-up of the pixels themselves.

The full-screen image views are interesting. I think they're using dithering to good effect.

How is the speed and battery life compared to the A5 (do you have the Pro version)? I've heard complaints of both being paradoxically lower on the A7.

Is the audio significantly better/louder on the A7?

Do you find it less portable? Which would you prefer reading on for a longer period of time?

Compared to the A5 (normal):
Speed: +10%
Battery life: -15% (but still a lot better then a normal phone)

Audio: slightly better using normal output, not louder

Portability: still ok, not much of an issue, but I like the bigger screen of the A7CC for maps and browsing.

Reading: on the A7CC i use Koreader night mode (white text on black) and then it works really well, for normal mode (black text) i prefer the A5 because its clearer.
Color shines when browsing, it gives so much more information. Same with pdf with text and pictures mixed.

All in all.
If I only go hiking on a fixed route and do a lot of reading when im resting i prefer the lighter and better for reading A5. As I hike in remote areas I prefer the longest battery life so the A5 is a better choice.
If I go cycling Ill use more mapping software like Osmand and Komoot I like the A7. Also weight is less a problem when cycling.

Can you record a video that will show how good are the perfomance on the colour display and upload it? You can upload it on your youtube account, or another video platform.

What about this video? https://youtu.be/7R-qOxUU8LM Just about the first 30 seconds would be perfect
