We know that China's smart phone market has shown a thriving situation, but has been the leader of the industry of Xiaomi that the shipping number has declined. The annual shipments is only 41.5 million units in 2016, which is not well comparing to the number in 2015 while it reached 64.9 million units.It is very important for Xiaomi in 2017 that the Xiaomi Mi6 is the first to takeon the task to earn the market share.
Xiaomi Mi6 officially released on April 19, equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, which is the first manufacturer who use Snapdragon 835 to equip mobile phone. In addition, each version comes with 6GB LPDDR 4x RAM,64GB and 128GB optional ROM, and the battery capacity is 3350mAh. As for the appearance, Xiaomi 6 with four curved glass design technology, the border with the stainless steel, and provide bright black, bright blue ,bright white three colors and ceramic black enjoy version for the users to choose. In addition, Xiaomi6 is equipped with a dual 12 MP camera. Not only with a conventional wide-angle camera, but also equipped with a new telephoto camera that supports 2x optical zoom in order to put the scene closely to take photos from a far distance without damage,supporting 4-axis optical image stabilization for the sake of recording every moment vividly. What's more,Mi6 with a front non-porous fingerprint recognition, and equipped with a dual speaker for the first time, canceling the 3.5mm headphone jack, which makes it is possible to support waterproof.
From the above picture of parameters to know that Xiaomi 6 combinate many advanced technologies that it is really an excellent flagship. But it is not convincing enoughthe just from the parameters. What is the real performance of it? How about the performance of Snapdragon 835? Can the dual camera gives us an amazing result? Taking the ceramic black enjoy version as an example,then look at the evaluation in detail.
Appearance Design
<Although the color has always been one of the important factors for people to choose the phones, while for business people, they are more favor to have a dark color phone to show their calm personalities. Xiaomi Mi6 ceramic black enjoy version is cater for their needs with pure black front panel and pure black ceramic back cover. Xiaomi Mi6 Pro ceramic black enjoy version has the excellent feel to hold in a good surface line design.
Apart from the non-porous fingerprint recognition, front camera and the handset on the front, there is nothing to see, which gives the users a sense of simple but feel elegance.
As for the screen, it with a 5.15-inch 1080P display screen that the highest brightness reaches to 600 nits, and the lowest brightness as low as 1 nits, NTSC high color saturation reached 94.4%. In addition, this is a piece of screen that through the National Eye Diagnosis and Treatment Engineering Technology Research Center authoritative certification which can protect the user's eyes by reducing the damage to the eyes after watch for a long time.
The fingerprint identification of Xiaomi Mi6 is the same as Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus which is together and can not press. But it uses a capacitive fingerprint recognition program rather than ultrasonic, while Xiaomi 5s with ultrasonic fingerprint recognition.
The back of the machine is a whole piece of ceramic with the four surface design. And like Xiaomi Mi MIX enjoy version, Mi 6 ceramic black enjoy version of the camera peripherals also decorated with 18K gold.
The Logo of the ceramic black enjoy version with a golden handle, which is echoes to the 18K gold of the outside of the camera, making the phone on the up grade.
Due to the black highlight of the stainless steel material, the top of the noise reduction microphone and infrared emitter of Mi 6 is not easy to be found.
The left side of the machine is the SIM card slot, which located in the upper part of the fuselage, and the right side of the phone is the power button and volume keys.
The charger of Xiaomi6 is used Qualcomm QC 3.0 standard, supporting 18W fast charge technology (9V / 2A, 12V / 1.5A), but the current mainstream flagship standard with 24W that makes it on a lower level than others.
Performance
XiaomiMi6 equipped with Snapdragon 835 processor, which is Qualcomm released a flagship chip in early 2017 that based on the manufacturing process of Samsung 10nm, which is smaller than the previous generation. As for the core number, Snapdragon 835 is use the octa core design, the size of the core are both Kryo280 architecture, the core frequency is 2.45GHz, and the small core frequency is 1.9GHz, and the GPU is Adreno 540,which the performance increased by 25% compared to the previous generation, supporting UFS 2.1, dual camera and LPDDR4X quad channel memory.
Next to see the performance in detail.
Antutu full charge pager test, Snapdragon 835's performance is floating between 60% -100%, and the overall load is between 50% -100%. As for the single core in specific that its CPU load can reach up to 100%. It is not common for us to make the phone operate with the full octa core load for the daily use, and the CPU will intelligent use the core to save power based on the actual task.
The Antutu run score of Snapdragon 835 has reached 181118 points, and it is only low 300 points compared to the iPhone 7 Plus. Single compare with the data of running points that the performance of Snapdragon 835 is comparable to the A10 Fusion, and through the comparison of the above figure we know that it is still weaker than the A10 Fusion in the CPU performance, but its GPU performance is far more well than the opponent.
From the above table comparison, Xiaomi6 is much excellent than the competitors in the Android camp thanks to Snapdragon 835's wonderful performance。
As for the GeekBench CPU test,from the comparison results, Snapdragon 835 defeats its competitors both from single-core results and multi-core results, and its performance is very obvious that has improved a lot compared to the previous generation Snapdragon 821.
As for the GFXBench GPU test, Snapdragon 835 GPU performance far more than the opponent Kirin 960 that whether it is large-scale 3D games or daily applications, it can run smoothly without pressure.
By comparison we can see that Mi6's performance of AndroBench storage performance test is much higher than the competitors, almost double the opponent. Faster read and write speed means faster and smoother experience that whether it is web loading or game loading will be quick.
PCMark is a comprehensive performance test software, its test based on daily activities rather than abstract algorithms, scores reflect the actual application performance rather than the theoretical maximum performance. Of course, the higher the score, the better the overall performance. Through the test can be seen, Xiaomi 6 PCMark comprehensive performance ranked first, far more than the list of opponents (including their own mobile phone).
life and fever
Mi6 equipped with 3350mAh battery, compared to the previous generation of Xiaomi Mi5, the battery capacity increased about 11% (mi 5 battery capacity of 3000mAh). Due to the time, we only had a simple experience.Through the above picture, it can be seen from the power consumption curve that it is reduced from 81% of the electricity to 35% with 4 hours and 11 minutes (in the middle due to connect the computer to transfer data, power increased by 4%), which is about 11% of electricity consumption an hour on the average. That's to say, it is not a problem to use for a day under high-intensity use.
As for the fever, after a period of pressure test (CPU full load operation), Xiaomi 6's temperature reached 49 ℃ that can clearly feelits heat in the hand. But because it is the limited test,the daily use of almost no such situation. Do not worry about the problem of high temperature that in the actual experience can not feel the obvious heat.
Camera
Front camera, it with a 800-megapixel front camera, with 36 level smart beauty that can identify the age and gender, and then determine the degree of whiten the skrin and how to make the eyes more beautiful and so on.
Mi6 has rich camera mode, including panoramic, countdown, voice shutter, manual, level, beauty, night image stabilization, shift axis photography, photo selection and other modes for the user to choose, and HDR was placed in the main interface. Rich camera mode can be extent to meet the needs of different users in a certain degree.
The next is the kind of real shot,Xiaomi 6 can be very fast and accurate completion of the focus in the outdoor light environment, focusing imaging is basically a moment to complete. As indoor, its performance is ideal, there is no obvious noise and smear.Macro mode, thanks to dual camera blessing, its background blur effect is obvious that the main and background level is clearly. In addition, We found that it is more sensitive to red in the shooting process.
As for the night performance, when the light is adequate, its performance is the same as the daytime. In the very low light environment, its adjustment style tends to depress the brightness of the screen to obtain a pure proof of the picture. The main picture showS clearly and there is a little loss of the dark details.
Summary
Except the above details, it is the first time for Mi6 to left the price of 1999 yuan and strat with 2499 yuan. There are many reasons for adding 500 yuan, including the current memory, flash memory and other electronic components prices have increased that it had to follow the price increases. But look at the market, it is still a flagship with very high equipments, and it is by far the most perfect phone of Xiaomi.
