Change the number of generations is still a thousand yuan benchmark red rice 4 reviews

[IT168 evaluation] double 11 eve, November 4 Xiaomi officially released a new generation of red rice mobile phone through the way of live video: red rice mobile phone 4 and red rice mobile phone 4A. Both mobile phones use a metal body design, in the texture of the machine compared to the previous generation has a relatively large increase, including red rice phone 4 also uses a nano injection molding process is generally used only on the flagship machine, with millet deputy Lin Bin, president of the company, commented that the two handsets are "thousand yuan price, flagship design." Not only that, the two phones are also equipped with a large-capacity battery (4100mAh for Red Mobile 4 and 3120mAh for Red Mobile 4A), and they have good performance in battery life. The main protagonist of our evaluation this time is the red rice mobile phone 4 with more outstanding performance in all aspects.

Before the formal evaluation began, I would like to briefly talk about some of my views on the Red Mobile. From the release of the first red rice cell phone in 2013 to the present day, the red rice cell phone is almost always sitting at the benchmark of the thousand yuan machine. Although afterwards, various manufacturers have also launched low-priced models to seize the 1,000 yuan market, but they are able to shake the Red Millet mobile phone thousand yuan dominance. According to data released by Xiaomi, as of the end of June this year, the cumulative sales volume of Red Mobile has exceeded 110 million units. In the past three years, the popularity of smart phones, red rice phones have earned pours.

In the era of consumer upgrades today, users’ demands for smart phones are no longer useful and easy to use. In particular, current mobile phone hardware performance is generally excessive, hardware performance, high cost performance is no longer the most important factor to attract users to buy, with high-value mobile phone products is easier to win the favor of users. Red Rice Mobile Phone 4 is such a cost-effective mobile phone, but at the same time it has a relatively high value.

I got a black high version of the Red Mobile 4 and then I will do an experiential review on the phone's design, craftsmanship, hardware performance, camera, and system UI. Share this with me. Some of the views and purchase suggestions. It should be pointed out that the red rice cell phone has 4 points standard and high with two versions. In general, a standard version and a high version of a mobile phone are often used only to distinguish between running memory and body storage. The difference between the two versions of Red Mobile 4 is not limited to this, and the difference in hardware configuration is still relatively Large, the following first through the two detailed parameters to understand the next.

Red Mobile 4 Basic Hardware Parameters Product Version Standard Edition High Edition Screen Features
5 inches, 1280*720
5 inch, 1920*1080 processor 1.4GHz Snapdragon 430 2.0GHz Snapdragon 625 Net mode Netcom 2.0 Netcom 3.0 Full memory Netcom 3.0 Operating memory 2GB 3GB Body storage 16GB 32GB Front camera 5 million pixels, f/2.2 5 million pixels, f /2.2 Rear camera 13 million pixels, f/2.2 13 million pixels, f/2/2 flash monochrome temperature flash dual color temperature flash product selling point thousand yuan high face value, large battery body size 141.3*69.6*8.9 mm 141.3* 69.6*8.9 mm Battery capacity 4100mAh 4100mAh Operating system MIUI 8 MIUI 8 Body color gold/gray/silver gold/gray/silver Sale price 699 yuan 【View】 899元 【View】

Through comparison, it can be found that in addition to the memory differences, the two are different in screen resolution, processor, network format, and flash. In terms of hardware parameters alone, I recommend that you buy a high version. Because even for the light mobile users, the performance difference caused by different processors and memory is not sensitive, but the difference caused by the difference in screen resolution is obvious to any user. And, the 720P resolution screen is now basically on the verge of being eliminated.

As I mentioned before, I have a high-end version of this hand, which is equipped with a Snapdragon 625 processor. Only from the naming point of view, it is estimated that many people will associate this processor with the low-end. In fact, the Snapdragon 625 is only a low-power processor, and it has power control on the premise of satisfying performance requirements. Great advantage. We are not unfamiliar with this processor. Let us first give you a list of the mobile phones on the market and their corresponding official price information.

Mobile phone equipped with Snapdragon 625 processor Moto X Play 3299 yuan Samsung Galaxy C7 2599 yuan Huawei G9 Plus 2399 yuan China Mobile N2 1499 yuan

From the table, we can see that the current highest selling price of mobile phones equipped with Xiaolong 625 processor has reached 3299 yuan. Seeing here, everyone can rest assured that the performance of this phone, for most of the daily use of the user must be fully adequate. On the other hand, the high price of RMB 899 for the Red Mobile Phone 4 is self-evident.

In order to make everyone have a more intuitive impression of this phone, I still use Andrew Bunny to run the sub-test on this phone.

The final security rabbit test score of Red Rice Mobile 4 was: 62210. In the Ann Bunny's running sub-test rankings, the Xiaolong 808 processor's Xiaomi Handset 4S and LG V10 were roughly the same. Although it can't be compared with the Snapdragon flagship processor which is more than 100,000 points, it is enough for most users. In the actual experience of the aircraft, the application is opened and switched quickly and smoothly. For potential buyers with budgets within a thousand dollars, the Red Mobile 4 is a highly recommended option.

Attachment: Red rice mobile phone 4 out of the box

Look at the appearance. The red rice mobile phone 4 uses the design of the metal body +2.5D glass. Compared with the previous generation of red rice mobile phone 3, it has been further upgraded, and the details of the fuselage are also more refined and textured. Next, we will interpret the design and craftsmanship of the Red Mobile 4 in detail.

The Red Mobile 4 uses a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920*1080 (high version). The black version of the front panel is also black, compared to the gold and silver version of the white front panel, the integrity is better and has a good front view. The 2.5m protective glass is used on the front of the Red Mobile 4A, which is a plus for frontal and edge grips. The bottom is a traditional Android three-button design and does not have a backlight function.

On the back of the fuselage, the Red Mobile 4 uses a full-metal body design. Only the top of the fuselage is slotted. The middle frame and the back and bottom of the camera are integrated. In the bottom of the fuselage, there is no red rice cell phone 4 using nano-injection molding process, and this process is common in the flagship model, is not common in thousands of machines. The design and overall work of the back of the fuselage reflect a high level that is not common on the thousand yuan machine.

The main camera and the fingerprint recognition key on the upper part of the back of the camera adopt a circular design and adopt a symmetrical design. The main camera has a two-color temperature flash on the side. There are always arguments about whether fingerprint recognition keys are in front of or behind them. For large-screen mobile phones, fingerprint recognition on the back is relatively reasonable. Because in 5.5-inch and above mobile phones, adjusting the hand posture will be more laborious, and if the fingerprint recognition key is on the back, the hand posture can be encountered without too much adjustment. In fact, there are no obvious advantages or disadvantages of the two methods, and it will be convenient to use them after they are used.

The bottom of the fuselage is a microphone, speaker and data interface. It adopts a symmetrical design with two screws at the bottom to fix it. The Red Mobile 4 does not use the USB Type C interface, which is becoming more and more popular, or the traditional Micro USB interface, which should be limited by the manufacturing cost of the product. Red rice mobile phone 4 body frame also added two rounds of bright surface oblique trimming, play a decorative role.

The 3.5mm headphone jack is integrated into the top of the fuselage, as well as an infrared transmitter and noise reduction microphone. Now, the infrared transmitter has become almost a standard for red rice and millet phones. Through the universal remote control application built into the system, it can realize control of traditional home appliances such as air conditioners and TV sets, making it very convenient to use.

Summary: The above is about the appearance of the Red Mobile 4 appearance. However, in terms of appearance, the Red Mobile 4 is beyond my expectations and has even reached the level of some flagships. As a mobile phone starting from 699 yuan, Redmi mobile phone 4 has the power to conquer consumers with a budget of around a thousand yuan.

In terms of photographing, the Red Mobile 4 uses a 13-megapixel camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and a dual-color flash (standard monochrome flash), supporting PDAF phase focusing. Red Mobile 4 supports dark light quality enhancement technology, panoramic mode, continuous shooting mode, facial recognition and other functions. Looking at the hardware parameters alone, the cameras of the Red Mobile 4 do not seem to have much surprises, but for such a mobile phone, which starts from 699 yuan, such camera specifications are completely in line with its own positioning. In this part of the camera, we directly look at the imaging performance of the Red Mobile 4 through real shot proofs.

Let's take a look directly at photos taken with the Red Mobile 4 phone.

The shooting time of this photo was about 16:00 pm. On that day's strong winds, Beijing's hustle and bustle had already been dispersed. The sky was so blue that it was hard to believe that it was in Beijing. The color of the blue sky photographed by the Red Mobile 4 is transparent and full, with true and accurate color reproduction and high picture saturation. Zooming in on the details, the outline of the building is better preserved, the level is clearly defined, and the edges of the font are sharper and sharper.

Look at an outdoor proofs and shoot the light. In the face of strong light sources, the red rice phone 4 exposure control is more accurate, the shutter time was stunned to 1/1000 seconds, the screen did not appear obvious overexposure, but the exposure was slightly inadequate. Zooming in on the details, the branches of the trees are hard to tell. However, the overall picture is still good.

Indoor low-light environment, the red rice mobile phone 4 shutter time and ISO are pulled higher, the overall screen brightness is not high, but relatively clear, saturation is good, the perception is not bad.

Look at an indoor proofs, red rice mobile phone 4 color reproduction is accurate, the flowers, the color of the leaves have been a very good show, obvious light and dark boundaries. The Red Mobile 4 uses a PDAF phase focus, which is actually not common in mobile phones under a thousand dollars. The advantage is that the focus is not dragged quickly under normal light, but the disadvantages are also obvious, and it is not easy to focus on the low light environment. When taking this photo, the focus is at the center of the flower, the focusing process is fast and direct, the imaging speed is faster, and the camera experience is better.

Then add two outdoor proofs.

Comments: For the Red Mobile 4, we are always accustomed to adding "only 699 yuan" to any of its conclusions. In the photo-taking experience, Redmi Mobile 4 is fully up to the standard of mainstream mobile phones, and even inferior to some flagship mobile phones. For the average user's daily use, it is sufficient. The addition of countdown, voice-activated shutter, spirit level, and shift-axis photography lights also adds more playability to the camera. Photographed praise.

On the system side, MIUI has evolved to the eighth version after several years of continuous updates and iterations. The Red Mobile 4 will run MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0. According to officials, MIUI 8 brings dozens of functional improvements and nearly 1,000 details to be optimized, and its main change is reflected in its functionality. In this part, I will focus on introducing the new features of MIUI 8 and, incidentally, some of its problems.

First look at the interface. MIUI 8 does not redraw the system icons, which may make people lack a sense of freshness when first started. However, several UI UIs in MIUI 8 have been optimized. For example, the notification bar can automatically change the color according to the weather, slide the menu to use Android native style, and this time MIUI 8 also has a lock screen pictorial function, according to the user's preferences automatically Change wallpaper, every time you light up the screen is not the same mood.

Mobile phone splitting is actually a well-known dual system function. It can use the split system as a private space. After the split, you can migrate the original system of applications, photos, documents, call records and other information without having to repeat the installation or copying of files. And the user can set different lock screen passwords to choose to enter the original system or avatar system.

Application avatar is also a major highlight of MIUI 8. With this feature, your mobile phone can have two WeChat, two QQ, or any software that involves user login. Of course, you can even use four WeChat accounts if you use the phone avatar function. However, it should be noted that MIUI 8 currently does not support applications such as dual-screen games or WeChat under the same screen.

In MIU 8, the calculator has also been fully upgraded. It integrates practical tools such as mortgage calculations, individual taxes, provident funds, and unit conversions, and is suitable for a variety of computing scenarios. Millet Calculator supports multiple currencies and the exchange rate is updated in real time. Haitao will be much more convenient since then. For the majority of office workers, the calculation of a tax, a near-negative interest, a mortgage, etc. will also become clearer and have a strong practical significance.

MIUI 8 also strengthens the system screenshot function and supports long screenshots. The long screenshots of MIUI 8 support both manual and automatic modes. Specifically, users can adjust the speed and position of long screen shots by sliding during the long screen-slipping process, which is more flexible and convenient. In addition, the album function of MIUI 8 has been further strengthened, and functions such as graffiti and mosaic have been added to facilitate the processing and editing of screenshots.

In addition to the above-mentioned, MIUI 8 has also enhanced the sweep, notes, etc., the new addition of floating ball is more convenient for large-screen mobile phone operation. In addition, the power-saving mode and chained start management can effectively limit the problem of individual applications waking up in the background and enhance the performance of mobile phones.

However, there are some annoying problems with the current MIUI 8 system: advertising.

For example, in the recommended folder on the desktop, when the folder is opened, the application is automatically recommended to you by default, which can be closed by setting. However, it is unbearable that the system's default music player is also the hardest-hit area for advertising. In the music player interface, the advertisement will forcefully occupy the cover position of the song, and the use experience is poor. In other system application interfaces, there are other large or small advertisements that forcefully occupy a certain corner of the application interface. The advertising in the system is also a problem that users have criticized more recently.

Comments: As the earliest domestic Android custom UI, MIUI has been firmly occupies the top spot in the development of the past few years, and is continuously optimized in terms of functionality, UI interaction, and system performance. Today's MIUI 8 is still the vanguard of Android's customized UI. It is rich in functionality, easy to use, beautiful interface, smooth and stable. However, the advertisement in the system UI is indeed a non-negligible problem.

Evaluation summary. Throughout the experience, the Red Mobile 4 has not been disappointing. In addition to the continuation of the previous high cost performance, the decentralization of the flagship process to make the machine's texture to a layer, to grasp this key point of consumer upgrades, I believe that simply relying on appearance is very easy to win the favor of users.

In fact, for me personally, the beautiful and easy-to-use MIUI system is the core competitiveness of the Red Mobile 4 . After several years of continuous updates and iterations, MIUI firmly grasps the user's demands for use, and the speed of follow-up and update of all kinds of practical functions has made friends and businessmen sigh. If you look at the appearance of buying a mobile phone, this is an impulse. It is sensible to make a decision after purchasing the system UI. Comparing with the same price competition products, the Red Mobile 4's hardware and software strength is extremely outstanding, and it is a benchmark product that has redefined the thousand yuan machine.

At the end of the review, I wanted to say something that seems to be less relevant to this phone. In the past few years, the development of domestic mobile phones has been characterized by "high cost performance" as the selling point, with zero or even negative profits. This is obviously an unhealthy development model. In the recent year, we can clearly see that all mobile phone manufacturers are actively seeking ways to increase profitability. Most of the hardware is to improve product profitability or even premium space by improving product technology. Software is mainly used to embed advertising hard or soft. It is not advisable to place advertisements in the system, but it is necessary to be cautious in handling the details and try not to make the users disgusted. At this point, some of MIUI 8's handling is still inadequate. Of course, this is not a problem that exists only in MIUI. Many domestic Android UIs are similar.
