I. Preface

Millet mobile phone 5 main black technology, but after the conference but because black technology has been sarcasm repeatedly.

The live broadcast of B's ​​station saw the barrage burst. Indeed, fast charge, full Netcom, beauty and other functions are not black technology, four-axis image stabilization, universal NFC is not the first time, Xiaomi understanding and interpretation of black technology is a bit far-fetched.

Tucao Tucao, overall, whether it is from the configuration and design, millet mobile phone 5 count a good product, the first fingerprint with the millet phone is also considered in line with the trend of the times.

With MIUI's deep optimization for Android, six months ago in the rice noodles to start the millet phone 5 high version. Millet mobile phone after a few years of precipitation, the supply has increased a lot, the phone is finally easy to buy some, but did not buy the exclusive version of the black ceramic, is indeed a small regret.

There was no time to publish evaluations just because they wanted to better experience this "Black Tech" mobile phone.

The biggest experience in starting six months is that the Xiaomi mobile phone 5 is not black technology, but it is practical enough.

The following will be a detailed evaluation of this Xiaomi mobile phone 5 high version from the four perspectives of industrial design, screen, camera, "black technology."

Ordinary users of the basic evaluation, if negligence, please also awe-inspiring, strive to do a better evaluation for the user to make an objective reference.



II. Industrial Design

2.1 Overall design

The industrial design of Xiaomi’s mobile phone series got rid of the poor design of Xiaomi’s mobile phone 3 (I did not like Lumia's design style) and made great progress in Xiaomi’s mobile phone 4 .

Millet Mobile 4, the main travel of a steel plate, not only produced enough suspense before the conference, but also created enough topicality after the conference. Industrial design is not outstanding, but it will not bring huge criticism like the Xiaomi Mobile 3, which belongs to the middle and upper level of industrial design at that time.

However, the previous article also mentioned that Xiaomi's mobile phone 5 mainly focuses on black technology, so the breakthrough in industrial design is not obvious. From the overall design point of view, it is more like the continuation of the design of the previous generation of products and improvements.

Following the last generation of excellent design language can be done without mistakes, it is a sound design method. Also, not only was the design inherited, but there was also a large black border where every product of Xiaomi’s products had been given a lot by users. And the black side of this Xiaomi mobile phone 5 has been so big that users are crazy, after the text will be in the III, the screen link to do a detailed evaluation.

â–½ Like millet phone 4, millet phone 5 uses a metal frame design.

Because of the foundation of the Xiaomi mobile phone 4, the user expects the Xiaomi mobile phone 5 to be more colorful in industrial design.

The most obvious frontal is the 5.15” screen, which turns out to be a black screen that feels like a borderless design.

“ "Borderless" design on screen.

Of course, the big black border after lighting the screen is also forced to slouch.

大 Large black border when lighting the screen.

The main sensor is placed on the top, although there is no such a way to "hide" the design like a hammer, but it does not lose its concise design.

â–½ sensor location.

The fingerprint button on the bottom complies with the user's need for fingerprint unlocking, and the Samsung-style fingerprint unlocking design has few highlights. Specific test will be mentioned later.

指纹 Fingerprint unlock, and millet phone 5s has been unlocked with sound waves.

The back of the 3D glass design is conducive to the big screen mobile phone, so although the millet phone 5 is equipped with 5.15" screen, but still feel comfortable.

â–½ 3D glass design on the back.

The design of the back glass is lukewarm, but it is very easy to slip on the table, and it slides out of the table when it is accidentally inadvertent. Just got the phone and fell several times. Need to pay attention.

边缘 The edges of 3D glass reflect very clearly.

There is a millet logo on the back, which is also the branding of every cell phone Xiaomi has.

小 The millet logo on the back.

The camera is placed in the upper left corner of the back, and the specific location is the edge of the 3D glass arc. More comfortable than watching it in the middle.

相机 Camera in the upper right corner.

â–½ Dual color temperature flash.

Let's look at the design of the border. The metal texture of the frame is very comfortable and fits perfectly with the 3D glass. The improvement this time is mainly reflected in the addition of a second degree of curvature, and the better touch and grip brings a better user experience.

â–½ SIM card slot, dual card dual standby.

The power button and the volume button were placed on the other side of the SIM card slot, but this time it was obvious that these two keys were not controllable. Pressing was too tactile, and sometimes it did not rebound in time. It was not very comfortable to use. However, it will be used after six months and will not affect the use.

电源 Power and volume keys.

The bottom is a speaker and USB Type-C jack, and the microphone is also placed near the speaker.

â–½ USB Type-C jacks and speakers.

For symmetry design, the four holes on the left are false and have no effect. They are only for design. This reminds me of the fake hole design of a nut phone.

右边 The right speaker is true, you can see the mesh structure inside.


The headphone jack was placed on top, and after the iPhone 7 used the Lighting connector, I didn't know how long the headphone jack could live.

耳机 Headphone jack, located on the top side.

The use of infrared light provides additional functions for the remote control of the Xiaomi mobile phone 5 . Although the function of infrared rays is a little tasteless, users will use it to talk about things if they are not equipped, and if they are equipped, they must compromise on design. Do you really have a high frequency of infrared use on your mobile phone?

I use it once or twice a year, but infrared does provide convenience. Whether or not it is equipped depends on the survey results of the mobile phone manufacturers. The existence is reasonable.

红外线 Infrared is in the middle of the top.

Although I was quite satisfied with the design of the Xiaomi Mobile 5, there were two places that made me less satisfied.

2.2 USB Type-C Location

Because the work needs to pay attention to a lot of details, so when the evaluation will also look at some of the smaller issues.

So this time I want to take the USB Type-C location and say it.

â–½ USB Type-C is not aligned with the speaker.

From a visual point of view, the holes of the USB Type-C and the speaker are clearly misaligned, and not only the most conventional center alignment is used, but even the upper alignment is not.

In order to verify my idea, the measurement of the relevant data was deliberately performed with a vernier caliper with an accuracy of 0.02 mm.

â–½ Use a caliper to measure the thickness of the phone.

â–½ Use a caliper to measure the USB thickness.

The measurement data is as follows.

Measurement item Specific value/mm

Phone thickness 7.42

USB thickness 2.68

Distance from the front 2.40

Hole distance from the front 3.24

If based on a conventional design, both the USB and speakers should be in a center-aligned position.

Let's do a simple calculation.

Center position = phone thickness ÷2 = 3.71;

Distance Front = Center - USB Thickness ÷ 2 = 2.37.

The actual measurement result is 2.40, which is not much different from the calculation result. The gap of 0.03mm is basically invisible under naked eye recognition.

After measuring the distance from the front of the speaker hole, the value was found to be 3.24, which is quite a large distance from the calculated center position—3.71.

Further analysis revealed that the original speaker hole was moved upward for visual symmetry. So at first glance I thought it was an error in the USB location, because the speaker hole is actually in the center.

Since the location of the speaker holes has been optimized, why not optimize the position of the USB so that both are in the center of vision.

The USB Type-C location is a small flaw I proposed to Xiaomi Mobile 5 .

2.3 The location of the millet logo

The positive millet logo is a traditional item of the Xiaomi mobile phone.

Similar to USB Type-C, there is also the problem that the sensor and the front lens do not have center alignment.

â–½ logo selects the upper alignment.

Because the top-alignment method was chosen, the space above the logo was set aside and it was not particularly like this design.

But since Xiaomi's designers have chosen such a design, there must be a design principle that can be explored.

Starting from the secondary edge of the Xiaomi mobile phone 5, we can make a circle close to the edge.

Coinciding with the center of the circle we later made coincided with the center of the Xiaomi logo.

â–½ The logo center and the center of the circle are coincident.


Good designers have their own design language, and it's not that I can draw a circle to understand. When I was funny,

Although I can explain the location of the logo, I still don't like the logo too much.

With regard to design, it can only be said that the benevolent sees the wise and sees the wisdom, respects the design of Xiaomi and their excellent design team.

2.4 Fingerprint unlocking

Fingerprint unlocking was firstly equipped on Xiaomi's mobile phone and complied with the needs of users.

I wouldn't lock my phone before, because I feel like I've locked my screen hundreds of times every day. It's too much trouble to type my password every time. And there is no secret in the cell phone, so it is simply not locked.

However, the emergence of fingerprint unlocking completely changed the user's habits.

三星 Samsung-style fingerprint unlocking.

The unlocking cost is basically zero. The last lock also ensures the security of the data in the mobile phone. (Forget I just said there was no secret in the phone.)

Xiaomi uses fingerprints to unlock the time later than the major manufacturers, so basically use a complete set of solutions used by other manufacturers in the fingerprint unlocking, whether it is in the unlocking speed or carved time are satisfied.

â–½ Xiaomi Mobile 5 is faster than the iPhone 6's fingerprint unlocking speed.

Note: Contrast iPhone 6 mainly due to price, release time and other factors

With regard to comparative evaluation, it is very difficult to achieve the same level of comparison. If you take the millet phone 5 and iPhone 7 than just released, must be willing to worship.

The choice of iPhone 6 is mainly due to considerations of price and sale time. Considering that Xiaomi Mobile Phone 5 now only sells 1599, it is not as good as iPhone 6. Comparing with the iPhone is relatively fair.

For reference only, there is no suspicion of causing a fierce battle. If the reference for comparison is not the same as that of the keen officer, please understand it.

However, the millet mobile phone 5 is very unsatisfactory in the case of water, and it is often unsuccessful to unlock the face in the morning and wash it in the rain and rain. Hope everyone will know.

III. About the screen

One of the main features of Xiaomi Mobile 5's black technology is that the 16-lamp power-saving highlight screen.

Although he did not feel the ignorance of black technology, this screen did perform well.

Brightness and color gamut

The lack of a 2K or 4K screen may be due to cost and power considerations, but the 1080P screen is also sufficient for everyday use.

The "black technology" of the 16 lights guarantees the brightness of this screen.

600nit, the screen can be seen even in strong sunlight.

The wide color gamut of 95% NTSC also makes this screen "enrich".

壁纸 The wallpaper uses light particles to highlight the screen's "color."

However, the standard for the use of various devices in the color gamut is now in an era of great troubles. After the launch of CIE 1931, Adobe implemented Adobe RGB, Microsoft, Dell, and other vendors promoted sRGB, which greatly promoted the promotion of displays and webs, but smart phones The emergence and emergence of the mobile internet have made users not satisfied with sRGB, and now more people are talking about the concept of wide color gamut.

The wide color gamut, the international standard, is that the color coverage can reach NTSC 92%. NTSC is the color gamut standard implemented by the National Television Standards Committee.

I don't put a figure here, not a professional problem.

Color management, this is what I want to emphasize. Apple's layout of color management in the past few years will enable all product lines to display "real" colors in a few years.

The same train track, the same book, screen color. Hope that the Android camp can also do it.

Eye protection mode and sun screen

Sun screen and eye protection mode are not new.

The sun screen of the millet phone 5 offers the possibility to enjoy beautiful photos in the sun.

The eye protection model was also introduced earlier than the iOS series. After MIUI continued to optimize, I could not leave the eye protection mode.

It is recommended that you open the eye protection mode. After a period of adaptation, you will also need eye protection mode.

Big black side

About big black side, I have no power to quit.

Directly measure the data!

测量 Measure the "big black side" of the Xiaomi mobile phone 5.

Vernier calipers show that the black side has reached a staggering 1.74mm.

No harm without comparison, compare the iPhone 2's black bars.

测量 Measure the black side of iPhone 6.

The black side of iPhone 6 is only 0.62mm.

Black border data:

Mobile phone size

Millet Mobile Phone 5: 1.74mm

iPhone 6: 0.62mm

The appearance of big black edges stems from the left and right sides of the Xiaomi Mobile Phone 5's frame design, trying to design a borderless product.

Lei Jun also admitted at the press conference that the current technology could not make a completely frameless mobile phone.

If you can’t stand the big black edge of Xiaomi’s mobile phone 5 and want to buy it, it’s recommended to buy a black one.

IV. About Camera

In addition to the main black technology, "fast" is also a selling point for the Xiaomi mobile phone 5.

So can the camera of Xiaomi’s mobile phone 5 express “fast”?

General items

To evaluate the excellence of a mobile phone's camera, it is nothing more than starting from the time, focusing speed, color reproduction, dark details, highlights and other aspects of the evaluation.

Start Time

The deep optimization of MIUI makes the launch of the Xiaomi mobile phone 5 very fast. However, the camera of the flagship mobile phone is now not bad.

Small tips: In the lock screen state, double-click the volume - key to quickly enter the camera of the millet phone 5.

Focus speed

Focusing speed is indeed a very emotional part.

Not much to say, look at the focus speed of the Xiaomi Mobile 5 VS iPhone 6.

Color reduction

In order to reflect the camera's ability to restore color, I purposely used a gradient color card for evaluation.

The following is a comparison of photographs taken by Xiaomi Mobile 5 and iPhone 6.

â–½ iPhone 6 shooting.

â–½ Xiaomi phone 5 shooting.

The following two are standard color cards.




Noise problem

Millet's mobile phones generally performed poorly during the night, highlighting the problem of excessive noise.

比如 For example, in this small house near the construction site, there is a lot of noise in the air.

Under cloudy conditions, the camera performance of Xiaomi’s mobile phone 5 is still OK and there is not much noise.

小 In the cloudy days, the small house opposite the site.

Photographs are still very expressive in the light of morning and evening light.

â–½ Take a small house on the road to the construction site.

â–½ Brilliant and rustic.

Four-axis anti-shake

Four-axis image stabilization, this is the black technology that blows the most in the conference.

It is generally known that in the case of a dark relationship, it is necessary to extend the exposure time and increase the ISO value in order to take a qualified photograph.

The extension of the exposure time caused the camera trembling party to take a picture and a difficult problem.

Four-axis anti-shake can help the hand shake the party a great deal.

Is not black technology I can not evaluate, I took the photos I used to talk about the convenience of four-axis image stabilization.

Now take the venue camera and the night stadium as an example to show the four-axis image stabilization of the Xiaomi mobile phone 5 .

锤子 At the press conference, there was no blur on the screen, but the center was overexposed.

鲁 Lu Xun Park Stadium, the opposite banner is clearly visible.

å…« 80,000 stadiums are bigger than Hongkou, and the opposite handwriting is magnified and clearly visible.

In general, in the low-light situation, the four-axis anti-shake performance is excellent, and it is the gospel of trembling parties. The photograph is a qualified photograph.

V. About Black Technology

Millet 5's conference will be dominated by black technology, but after the conference, black technology has also become the biggest controversy.

Indeed, the full Netcom, 3.0 fast charge, beauty phone on the flagship are counted on the standard, and said that black technology is far-fetched.

The Xiaolong 820 4GB+128GB and 3D ceramic body these functions are only enjoy the exclusive version to enjoy, and enjoy the version is very difficult to buy, I also can not stand the week to buy but not buy, but unfortunately chose a high version. How can black technology not be used?

Therefore, it is excusable for everyone to ridicule Xiaomi 5 “black technology”.

However, during the six months of use, the convenience brought by Xiaomi 5's "black technology" was still felt. Black technology can not talk, but it is still very easy to use.

Offline one-touch changer

Compared to other black technologies, offline one-click changer is the first function I use.

Open a key change machine, click send and receive, wait for a period of time, a key change machine is so simple.

简单 Simple one-touch operation.

All-round NFC

All-round NFC is another black technology selling point of Xiaomi mobile phone 5.

After the first test of Xiaomi 2A was completed, Xiaomi Mobile 5 made a full NFC payment.

In particular, the online payment paid by Xiaomi after the press conference enriched the payment layout for Xiaomi Finance.

Can brush the subway to pay, NFC is no longer a tasteless millet phone 5, and now I do not have to take the bus to the site to take the bus card.

However, because the payment channel of Xiaomi has not yet been deployed, the payment system is still a temporary device, and it is hoped that it will be as convenient as Apple Pay and Alipay in the future.

Fast charge 3.0

In the era of fast charging is already standard, how can Xiaomi's flagship get a fast charge?

Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 technology is now relatively mature, and its flagship machines are inseparable.

I can only say that fast enough to use.

However, millet mobile phone 5 consumes more power, and heavy users need to be charged twice a day, such as me.

VI, summary

As a more objective evaluation, the summary is very necessary.

Advantages are not praised, and disadvantages are not hidden.

advantage:

1. Almighty NFC brush bus card.

2. A stable camera.

3. MIUI 8 is deeply optimized for Android.

4. Offline one-click changeover.

Disadvantages:

1. Big black border, huge black border is crazy.

2. The volume keys are sometimes too cotton and have low stability.

3. The partial design is questionable.

4. Endurance is normal. Heavy use requires charging twice a day.

5. Fingerprint unlocking after water is easy to fail.

6. MIUI advertising issues. MIUI's advertising problem is the shortcoming that all Xiaomi mobile phones have to face. Is Xiaomi users' biggest reliance on Xiaomi mobile phones not MIUI? The ad's appearance will certainly make Xiaomi lose a lot of users.

Millet Mobile Phone 5 is the product with the longest R&D cycle and the fastest price reduction for the millet series. It is still worth buying when it comes to price/performance.

Recommend buying black version, you can avoid the big black edge defects. If you can add money to buy a pure version of MIUI, I choose to add money to buy. After all, MIUI is now the biggest reason I chose Xiaomi's mobile phone.
