The sound quality of Xiaomi Mi 6 is also good. To be precise, it should be quite satisfactory. After all, it does not have a built-in independent DAC chip.
For the first time, Xiaomi Mi 6 is equipped with stereo speakers. Whether you are watching movies, listening to music or playing games, you can experience different immersive surround sound stereo effects. In addition, MIUI also has a Mi Sound function to improve the sound quality.
Appearance - stylish and elegant
It is specially optimized for night use to reduce blue light radiation and is not dazzling when used in low light.
Details - exquisite workmanship.
Xiaomi 6’s front-facing 8-megapixel camera is equipped with the third-generation 36-level smart beauty technology, which supports real-time beautification whether taking selfies or 1080p video calls. In addition, the front camera also supports countdown selfie, facial recognition, magic mirror and other functions, and there are still many ways to play.
In terms of fingerprint recognition, Xiaomi Mi 6 adopts a hole-free design similar to Xiaomi 5S. However, compared with Xiaomi 5’s ultrasonic fingerprint module, Xiaomi Mi 6’s non-hole fingerprint recognition module unlocks faster. Practical and beautiful, it doesn't easily trap dirt, and you don't have to worry about the keys malfunctioning if you press too many keys. In addition, the fingerprint recognition module of Xiaomi 6 still supports the fingerprint payment functions of WeChat, Alipay, and Xiaomi Wallet. Payment, transfer, red envelope, shopping, and cash withdrawal can be realized with the movement of fingers, eliminating the trouble of entering passwords back and forth.
Benchmarks - Amazing results
Xiaomi Mi 6 is equipped with a full-blooded version of Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. At the press conference, Lei Jun debuted Xiaomi Mi 6’s AnTuTu benchmark score as high as 18W, the test score is 182066 points. Although there is a small gap, overall, Xiaomi Mi 6 is still very powerful. The AnTuTu benchmark scores have not yet been updated for the Samsung S8, so what can be seen so far is that only the Xiaomi Mi 6 and iPhone 7P have reached the 18W mark, which is an astonishing result.
Performance - absolutely powerful
Benchmarks do not mean good performance. In order to test the performance of Xiaomi Mi 6, the editor specially downloaded the two games "Honor of Kings" and "NBA2K17" To test. Why choose these two games? Honor of Kings is currently the most popular online game. There are a lot of players, including many primary school students. This game has requirements for mobile phone hardware and network, while NBA2K17 has higher requirements for mobile phone hardware. high.
Through actual testing, both games on Xiaomi Mi 6 can run perfectly and smoothly. This is mainly due to Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and the new generation Adreno540 graphics processor, making Xiaomi Mi 6 easily capable of all 3D games. However, since Honor of Kings has not yet matched Xiaomi Mi 6, during the test it was found that the game frame rate was not too high, but it did not affect the experience.
Power consumption - significantly reduced
The battery capacity of Xiaomi Mi 6 is not too high, only 3350mAh, but the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 equipped with it adopts the advanced 10nm process, so in comparison The power consumption of the previous generation product has been reduced by 25%. With the multiple low-power technologies at the chip level and the point-saving mode of the MIUI8 system, the battery life officially given by Xiaomi is considered a test, and the actual test results are also quite good.
When the battery of the mobile phone was 100% full, the author began to use Xiaomi Mi 6 normally without interruption until the remaining 9% of the battery was used, and then took a screenshot of the picture above. During the test, the mobile phone signal was always on, WLAN was also used at 50% frequency, the wake-up rate was 70%, the screen was on 75%, and the GPS was turned on for 3 hours for driving navigation. It lasted 14 hours, 14 minutes and 20 seconds under normal conditions (occasionally listening to music, browsing the web, WeChat always open accounted for 80% of the total usage time, five short videos), and the remaining power was 9%, which is expected to be normal. Use for 1 hour.
Judging from the actual measured data, it is conservatively estimated that Xiaomi Mi 6 can be used for at least 15 hours under normal daily use. This is already a very good performance, so friends who are still worried about the battery life of Xiaomi Mi 6 , I personally feel that I should be able to let go of the stone in my heart. In terms of heating, although Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 reduces power consumption by 25%, the heat emitted by the phone can still be clearly felt, but overall it is still within an acceptable range, and there is no situation where Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 gets hot.
Xiaomi 6 supports QC 3.0 fast charging, which can reach up to 18W. According to the official introduction, it can charge about 60% in half an hour and can be fully charged in 86 minutes. Actual measurement results show that Xiaomi Mi 6 can be charged to 55% in half an hour, and to 90% in about 50 minutes. It takes 76 minutes to fully charge 100% of the battery. The charging speed is still relatively fast.
Photography - comparable to the iPhone
The iPhone should be recognized as the best camera phone among smartphones at present, so this time we selected iphone7P and Xiaomi 6 for a photo test. In general, the imaging effect of Xiaomi Mi 6 is Xiaomi's usual style, with sufficient exposure, bright colors and high contrast, especially green, which looks eye-catching and more natural.
In terms of details, we zoomed in 200% on the photos of Xiaomi 6 and iPhone 7P. By observing the edges of the leaves in the above two pictures, we can see that the detailed imaging quality of Xiaomi 6 is more delicate and clearer than that of iPhone 7P.
On the other hand, in the photos taken by the iPhone 7P, the edges of the leaves are blurred and the noise is slightly more than that of the Xiaomi Mi 6. In addition, the blur effect of Xiaomi 6's portrait mode is lighter, which is better and more natural than that of iPhone 7P, especially the edge recognition algorithm.
In terms of night scene imaging, Xiaomi Mi 6 is equally good. When you enlarge the photo at 200% to view the Wanda Plaza logo, the edges of the logo are still clear and clear. However, after turning on the 2X optical zoom, the shutter speed of Xiaomi Mi 6 is slightly affected, so the image quality is also somewhat degraded, mainly due to the impact of hand shake.
Waterproof - a slight surprise
Regarding the waterproof level of Xiaomi Mi 6, Lei Jun did not mention a word at the press conference. He only said that it is waterproof for daily use. So what is the concept of waterproof for daily use? In fact, this concept is still relatively vague in mobile phones. If it is distinguished by the waterproof level of watches, daily waterproofing should only prevent water splashes. So what is the waterproof performance of Xiaomi Mi 6? Let’s take a look at the test done by netizens (I bought it with real money, I really don’t dare to try it). The test results found that Xiaomi Mi 6 is not only resistant to splashing, but also can be soaked for a short period of time. Of course, everyone is not encouraged here. Try soaking, after all, there is still a certain risk.
Sound quality - average
Many people may be worried that after Xiaomi 6 cancels the 3.5mm headphone jack, although a Type-c adapter can be used, will the sound quality be affected? Through the test, even if you use the 99 yuan Xiaomi piston headphones to listen to music, the sound quality of Xiaomi Mi 6 is good. To be precise, it should be quite satisfactory. After all, there is no built-in independent DAC chip. For the first time, Xiaomi Mi 6 is equipped with stereo speakers. Whether you are watching movies, listening to music or playing games, you can experience different immersive surround sound stereo effects. In addition, MIUI also has a Miyin sound quality improvement function, so you don’t have to worry too much about the sound quality. problem.
NFC - practicality first
Xiaomi 6 is not the first Xiaomi phone to support NFC function, but compared with other models, Xiaomi 6’s NFC communication capability has been improved by 50%. Transaction speed increased by 30%. At present, Xiaomi Bus supports bus cards in 10 provinces and cities, and has added a card transfer function, which means that if you buy a new mobile phone, the bus card in the old mobile phone can be directly migrated to the new mobile phone. Currently, Xiaomi is the only bus card in the world. Cell phones have this function.
Unfortunately, the editor has not yet enabled this function, so it is a pity that I have not experienced this function
