Xiaomi 6 has many questions. Is it worth buying?

According to statistics, in 20 16, the smart phone market in China achieved a year-on-year growth of 8.7%, much higher than the annual growth of 20 1510.6%. On the surface, the smart phone market in China is booming, but Xiaomi, which once led the industry in terms of shipments, has declined, with an annual shipment of only 4 1.5 million units, which is far from the brilliant record of 20 15 years (64.9 million units). In this context, 20 17 is very important for Xiaomi. Xiaomi also urgently needs a flagship to revive its glory and save the market. Xiaomi 6 is the first stick to undertake this task.

On April 19, Xiaomi 6 was officially released, which is the first mobile phone equipped with Xiaolong 835 in China. In addition, each version comes standard with 6GB LPDDR 4x memory with 64GB and 128GB capacities, and the battery capacity is 3350mAh. Four-curved glass design, stainless steel frame, bright black, bright blue and bright white colors to choose from, and ceramic black exclusive version is available. Equipped with dual12 megapixel camera. In addition to the conventional wide-angle camera, it is also equipped with a brand-new telephoto camera, which supports 2 times optical zoom, can enlarge distant scenes without loss, and supports 4-axis optical image stabilization. In other respects, Xiaomi 6 adopts non-porous fingerprint identification on the front, equipped with dual speakers for the first time, and cancels the 3.5mm headphone jack to support waterproof battery life. But just looking at the parameters can't explain too much, and the actual experience is king. How about Xiaomi 6 in all aspects? How much has the performance of Xiaolong 835 improved? How is the performance of dual cameras? Please see the following detailed evaluation.

The first is design: seamless ceramic black explains a profound beauty. Special note: the test prototype is ceramic 6+ 128 exclusive edition. Colorful color matching has always been a place where mobile phone products attract users.

But for business people, they prefer dark-colored mobile phones, and their temperament is calm. Especially high-end flagship products, they pay more and more attention to black. Xiaomi 6 ceramic black exclusive edition caters to the needs of this part of users. The pure black front panel and the pure black ceramic back cover have a stronger sense of integration and are more like a mysterious original stone. Under the blessing of good arc lines, Xiaomi 6 ceramic black exclusive version feels excellent. In addition to the visible non-porous fingerprint recognition, front camera and earpiece (with speaker function), the integrated design interprets a profound aesthetic feeling.

Xiaomi 6 uses a 5. 15 inch 1080P display screen, with the highest brightness reaching 600 nits, the lowest brightness as low as 1 nits, and the high color saturation of NTSC reaching 94.4%. In addition, it is an eye protection screen, which has passed the authoritative certification of the National Ophthalmology Diagnosis and Treatment Engineering Technology Center. Watching for a long time can effectively reduce the damage to the eyes. The fingerprint identification of the front camera and earpiece (with speaker function) Xiaomi 6 is the same as Xiaomi 5s, which is integrated and cannot be pressed. However, it uses capacitive fingerprint identification scheme instead of ultrasonic (Xiaomi 5s is ultrasonic fingerprint identification). The back of the fuselage is a whole piece of ceramic with four curved surfaces. Xiaomi 6 cut off the 3.5mm headphone jack for the first time, but the official attached an adapter from Type-C to 3.5m headphone jack, so the previous headphones can still be used. Unfortunately, however, Type-C headphones are not included. Due to the use of black and bright stainless steel, the noise reduction microphone and infrared transmitter at the top of Xiaomi 6 are not easy to find. The left side of the fuselage is the SIM card slot, and the right side of the fuselage is the power button and volume button. Xiaomi 6 charger adopts Qualcomm QC 3.0 standard and supports 18W (9V/2A, 12V/ 1.5A) fast charging technology. At present, the mainstream flagship comes standard with 24W, and the fast charging of Xiaomi 6 is a bit "not enterprising".

Second, performance: Xiaolong 835 was launched in China, and its performance was super-burning. Xiaomi 6 is equipped with Xiaolong 835 processor, which is a flagship chip released by Qualcomm in early 20 17. Based on Samsung 10nm manufacturing process, the chip area is smaller than that of the previous generation. In terms of the number of cores, the Xiaolong 835 is designed by eight nuclear. Both the large and small cores are of Kryo280 architecture, the main frequency of the large core is 2.45GHz, the main frequency of the small core is 1.9GHz, and the GPU is Adreno 540, which improves the performance by 25% compared with the previous generation. Support 4K screen, UFS 2. 1, dual cameras, LPDDR4X four-channel memory, integrated Cat. 16 Xiaomi 6, available memory is 4.2g after startup. Ann Bunny copier test. The performance of Xiaolong 835 fluctuates between 60%- 100%, and the overall load is between 50%- 100%. The score is18118, which is only about 3000 points away from the iPhone 7 Plus in the list. Judging from the running score data alone, the performance of Xiaolong 835 is comparable to that of the former overlord A 10 Fusion. Compared with the previous generation Snapdragon 82 1, the performance is improved obviously, especially the multi-core performance is very eye-catching.

Endurance and fever: 3350mAh battery. Heavy users play all day. The battery life Xiaomi 6 is equipped with a 3350mAh battery. Compared with the previous generation Xiaomi 5, the battery capacity has increased by about 1 1% (the battery capacity of Xiaomi 5 is 3000mAh). Because of time, we only have a simple experience. Our experience items are running minutes, taking photos and so on. It takes 4 hours 1 1 minute for Xiaomi 6 to reduce its power consumption from 8 1% to 35% (the power consumption increases by 4% in the middle because of connecting a computer to transmit data), and the average power consumption per hour is about 1 1%. From this calculation, if it is used with high intensity, it is not a problem to meet it in one day.

In the heating part of temperature test, after a period of pressure test (CPU running at full load), the temperature of Xiaomi 6 reached 49℃, and its heat could be obviously felt by hands. However, due to the extreme test, the above situation will hardly occur in daily use, so there is no need to worry about the problem of excessive temperature, and no obvious fever will be felt in the actual experience.

Third, taking pictures: double-shot blessing, the background is blurred better. Xiaomi 6 is equipped with two rear cameras,12 million pixels. In addition to the conventional wide-angle camera, there is a brand-new telephoto camera. Support 2 times optical zoom, and lossless amplification can be performed on distant scenes. Support 4-axis optical image stabilization. It uses the gyroscope and acceleration sensor inside the mobile phone to detect the jitter in eight directions at high speed, and drives the micro-motor to adjust the attitude and compensate the jitter in real time. For the front camera, Xiaomi 6 uses an 8 megapixel front camera. Functionally matched with 36-level intelligent beauty, you can identify the age and gender, and then intelligently decide how much skin whitening, how to make your eyes more radiant and so on. ↑↑↑ Xiaomi 6 has a variety of camera modes, including panorama, countdown, voice shutter, manual, horizontal, beauty, night scene anti-shake, axis shifting photography, photo optimization and so on. HDR is placed in the main interface of shooting. Rich camera modes can meet the shooting needs of different users to a certain extent. Next, take a sample. Let's take a look at the camera level of Xiaomi 6.

Macro mode

Macro mode Xiaomi 6 focuses very quickly and accurately in outdoor strong light environment, and the focusing imaging is basically completed in an instant. At the same time, the exposure is more accurate, the detail retention ability is good, and there is no paste. The performance of Xiaomi 6 in indoor environment is ideal. There is no obvious noise and smearing. Thanks to the blessing of four-axis optical image stabilization, the output rate of Xiaomi 6 is very high, and a complete photo can be obtained without deliberately adjusting the posture. In macro mode, thanks to the blessing of dual cameras, the background blur effect of Xiaomi 6 is obvious, the subject and background are distinct, and the hazy feeling in the distance makes the proofs very three-dimensional. In addition, Xiaomi 6 was found to be sensitive to red during shooting. Red flowers are charming and attractive, with high color saturation, which is easier to please people's eyes. Green leaves are slightly richer than the colors in the real scene, indicating that manufacturers prefer the style of visual adjustment first.

In the case of sufficient light at night, the performance of Xiaomi 6 is not much different from that during the day. The picture is clean and rich in details. Thanks to the blessing of four-axis optical image stabilization, the photo shooting rate is very high. However, in extremely low light environment, the adjustment style of Xiaomi 6 tends to reduce the brightness of the picture to obtain pure proofs, and the main body of the picture is clear without obvious visible noise, and the details of the dark parts are lost. As in the daytime, the color saturation of night proofs is still high, and the red clothes on billboards are more vivid. Sixth, summary: As far as the appearance of the strongest Xiaomi mobile phone is concerned, the value of Xiaomi 6 ceramic black exclusive edition is very high. The pure black body is integrated, allowing users to truly feel its profound beauty. In the processing of workmanship details, the design of four curved surfaces and the completion of high-brightness stainless steel middle frame are very high, which further enhances the grip. In terms of configuration, the Xiaolong 835 processor equipped with Xiaomi 6 is the top work in the field of mobile chips, and its performance is beyond doubt. 6GB LPDDR4x large memory, UFS flash memory, the comprehensive strength is the first in China. In terms of taking pictures, 2 times optical zoom can be enlarged without loss. Four-axis optical anti-shake does not pick the posture, just pick it up and shoot it. Dual cameras also bring better background blur, so that each lens has a SLR-level blur effect.

In addition, Xiaomi 6 left the price of 1999 yuan for the first time, starting from 2499 yuan. An important reason for adding 500 yuan is that the current price increase of electronic components such as memory and flash memory makes Xiaomi 6 have to follow suit. However, looking at the market, Xiaomi 6 is still the flagship with high cost performance. Overall, Xiaomi 6 is by far the most perfect Xiaomi mobile phone, worthy of the title of flagship. In addition, as we mentioned earlier, the sales of Xiaomi last year were not satisfactory, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as falling endlessly. 20 16 The most depressing thing for Xiaomi may be the dystocia of Xiaolong 820, which made Xiaomi 5, which has good comprehensive quality in all aspects, miss the best sales period, which is also an important reason for the decline of Xiaomi's sales last year. I hope that this year, Xiaomi can create more glory.
