The first test of Deep Blue L07： The intelligent driver has Huawei. What about the cockpit？

At present, among all the models equipped with Huawei Gankun Zhijia, Deep Blue L07 is the most cost-effective.

Then, with the dark blue L07 blessed by Huawei technology in intelligent driving, what about the experience of the smart cockpit?

In this issue of "Machine Lab", let’s have an in-depth experience.

Cockpit hardware

Although the design of Deep Blue L07 is almost the same as that of sister model Deep Blue SL03, the configuration of intelligent cockpit has been upgraded to some extent.

For example, the "Sunflower Central Control Screen" with deep blue features is not only standard in the whole system, but also the screen size has increased from 14.6 inches to 15.6 inches. The resolution of 2.5K is also the first echelon in the same price model.

In terms of performance, Deep Blue L07 uses Qualcomm 8155 chip and improves the running memory of the lathe from 12G to 16G.

In addition, compared with the cockpit of the dark blue SL03, the dark blue L07 has a very obvious change, that is, the whole system uses AR-HUD instead of LCD instruments.

Judging from the actual display effect, even in the strong light environment, the AR-HUD of deep blue L07 still has good clarity and rich displayable contents.

As for audio, Deep Blue L07 also provides an optional package with 22 speakers, which supports 7.1.4 channels. For this price model, it is very rare.

Below the central control screen is the area where the mobile phone is wirelessly charged. The measured maximum charging power is 50w, which can be compatible with wireless fast charging of Huawei, Xiaomi and other mobile phones.

If there is any regret about the cockpit hardware of Deep Blue L07, it is definitely one that the whole system only supports 4G networks.

I hope that Deep Blue L07 can add the 5G network to the upgrade list in the later changes.

Interactive experience

In terms of interactive experience, Deepal OS equipped with Deep Blue L07 underwent an OTA upgrade in mid-November, and the latest version is 2.3.0.

From the layout of the homepage, the DOCK bar of Deep Blue L07 is located at the bottom of the screen. Except for the three system buttons on the far left and the air conditioning settings in the middle, most of the other icons can be adjusted after long press.

Above the DOCK bar, Deep Blue L07 provides various types of small card components, which can quickly check various information of vehicles. Of course, these small cards also support customization.

In the design of desktop background, Deep Blue L07 provides two options, namely wallpaper desktop and 3D car control desktop.

Compared with most models of the same price, this 3D model of Deep Blue L07 not only has higher fluency, but also has excellent rendering accuracy.

Next, I have to mention the most "ingenious" interactive experience of Deep Blue L07.

Generally speaking, sliding down from the top of the screen, whether Apple or Android, even Nokia, will enter the notification center or control center.

But on the deep blue L07, sliding down from the top of the screen, the first thing that appears in front of you is the local application.

As for the control center, it is placed between the three-party application and the handcart interconnection, which is really confusing.

After spending a day with Deep Blue L07, I personally still don’t adapt to this interactive logic. I wonder how you feel in front of the screen?

Software ecology

Although the interactive logic of Deep Blue L07 is rather strange, its performance in software ecology is excellent.

First of all, let’s take a look at the experience of navigation function, which is also one of the most frequently used functions in the intelligent cockpit.

Because Deep Blue L07 adopts "Huawei’s Gankun Intelligent Driving", it uses Petal Maps from Huawei in navigation.

Judging from the number of functions and actual experience, the performance of Petal Maps is now no less than that of old navigation software such as Gaode and Baidu.

At the same time, the design of navigation and intelligent driving functions in one has become the unique advantage of Petal Maps.

As for the audio-visual experience, common car entertainment software such as QQ music, Iqiyi, and Bi Li can be found on Deep Blue L07.

Among them, QQ music, as the main audio source of Deep Blue L07, is deeply customized for Deepal OS.

Not only the UI design is highly unified with the system style, but also the functions such as sound effect setting and light show of vehicles can be directly linked.

In addition, the app store of Deep Blue L07 also provides a wealth of third-party applications and games for download.

What’s more interesting is that in the classification of practical tools, I found that Deep Blue L07 also provides two softwares that are not very practical but can provide emotional value.

In addition to the rich software ecology, Deep Blue L07 is well prepared for the interconnection of mobile phones and cars.

Not only can Huawei, Xiaomi and other domestic mobile phones be supported for handcart interconnection, but the appearance of Apple CarPlay also makes Deep Blue L07 successfully attract many fruit powder colleagues in our company.

Write it at the end

After the deep use of Deep Blue L07, it is certain that the intelligent experience of this car has not become a "partial student" because of Huawei’s intelligent driving.

The Deepal OS developed by Deep Blue also brought a good experience to the smart cockpit of this car. It would be better if we could polish the interactive logic of the system in the next OTA.

Finally, I would like to ask the dark blue car owners in front of the screen, are you satisfied with the current experience of Deepal OS? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion!
