Today's thousand yuan machine market is a piece of red sea. If you want to get out of here, you will no longer rely on low prices as before. that Hongmi mobile phone 3S What is the magic weapon to win? Is it just a simple brush version?
1: Appearance introduction
The outer packaging of the Red Rice 3S is similar to the current Red Rice and Xiaomi series. It is designed with white background and appearance ID. Although it is not as high as the previous kraft paper, it also conforms to the current mainstream. In terms of accessories, there is only one charger and one data cable, and the power of the charger is 5V2A.
The overall appearance and detail design of the Red Rice 3S is the same as that of the high configuration version of the Red Rice 3. The back of the Red Rice 3S adopts a three-stage design, which is plastic+metal backplane+plastic.
The design of details is also the male model of Hongmi. From Hongmi note3 to Hongmi 3S, they are almost the same. The sim card slot is designed as an AND or card slot, and the camera has a slight protrusion.
The fingerprint identification module has been polished, and the overall effect is good.
Appearance summary:
It can be said that the Red Rice 3S is an upgraded version of Red Rice 3, which is made to keep pace with others. The appearance is almost the same. The current male model design of Red Rice series is almost the same as that of last year. At present, Le 2, Magic Blue note 3, etc Due to the excellent workmanship of the new show, Red Rice is a little disappointing on the whole. I think that since I have the energy to upgrade hardware, it would be better to focus on polishing the appearance and ID design.
2: System experience
The Red Rice 3S editor in this test has been upgraded to the latest MIUI8 6.6.23 development version ROM to ensure that all experiences are up to date.
MIUI8 still continues the style of MIUI7 as a whole. There are many third-party applications built into the initial system. If you add Xiaomi's own app, there will be up to 12, which is really touching. The available memory after startup is 1.8G, which is not bad.
The pull-down menu of MIUI8 has been greatly changed, and it is more refreshing and concise overall. Of course, if you are used to the previous display mode, you can also change it in the settings notification and status bar. However, one of the more stupid settings is that the order of the shortcut buttons must be sorted in the settings, rather than directly in the drop-down menu, which makes it a bit like taking off your pants and farting. Users can set the multi task menu as icon or card display according to their preferences by clicking on the upper right corner.
The functions of MIUI8's phone and SMS are as rich as ever. It can be said that it is not a problem to meet the needs of most users, but it can also be seen that Xiaomi is going further and further on the road of MIUI commercialization. Clean ROM is not easy, so please use and cherish it.
The classification of the setting menu is more concise and reasonable. Users can clearly find the setting items they need. From the column, we can see that MIUI8 has many interesting and practical new functions.
The eye protection mode is added to the network update list, and the system will intelligently open the eye protection mode according to the type of app. The lock screen pictorial has been retained. Although Xiao Bian thinks this function is a bit lame, after all, most mobile phones now enter the system directly after fingerprint unlocking.
It takes about 12 times of pressing to enter the fingerprint. Fingerprint also has a wide range of applications. Lock screen, children mode, file management, application lock, etc. can all use fingerprint encryption, but it is still insufficient in fingerprint payment.
MIUI8 has added two highly practical functions: mobile phone separation and dual opening of applications. Currently, mobile phones basically support dual cards. Users also hope that they can take a mobile phone to solve the problem of personal and work numbers. However, sometimes the confusion of data and the embarrassment of not being able to open apps together make the dual card function of many mobile phones extremely difficult, The two functions of MIUI8 have solved the concerns of these people. The separation of mobile phones is equivalent to creating a new system platform, where users can easily manage their own personal and work separately, and the double opening of applications is just like the literal meaning that users can conveniently double open apps such as WeChat, and no longer have to log in to WeChat frequently or be afraid of missing WeChat.
MIUI8 finally added wake-up blocking, which can only be said to be too late. Many new customized ROMs added wake-up blocking last year. After setting, users no longer need to worry about the power consumption and system resources consumption caused by the inability of the mobile phone system to sleep deeply due to the mutual awakening of the whole family bucket. Other aspects such as self startup management and permission management are still effective. It can be said that MIUI8's security center is very complete. After the user has set it up, there is almost nothing to worry about.
The power management of MIUI8 has always been very violent. Users can set it on demand very conveniently. It is simple to operate and has remarkable effects. It is a function worthy of praise.
In addition, MIUI8 can realize different functions by setting the levitation ball and long pressing the 3 diamond keys, so that users can operate with one hand more conveniently.
System summary:
In fact, MIUI8 can be seen as MIUI7's leak detection and patching version, such as wake-up blocking, system separation, and so on. It can be said that new functions are added according to the pain points of users every time. To be honest, MIUI is really hard to find its shortcomings at present (the advertising problem is understood). It can be said that the functionality is a little rich, but the system UI design still can not be said to be love at first sight. I hope Xiaomi can strengthen this aspect in the future. After all, Flyme and iOS are so particular about excessive animation. If MIUI can only be classified into the category that can be seen, it is really a bit unreasonable.
3: Photo experience
The Red Rice 3S is equipped with a 1300w lens with f/2.0 aperture, which supports phase focusing. There is no major change in the viewfinder, and MIUI old users can seamlessly transition. The photographing speed is good, that is to say, the point is available, but the focusing is relatively not fast enough, and the proportion of the bellows is high in low light conditions. Overall, the experience in the 100 yuan mobile phone is very good
Outdoor in daytime:
The performance of Red Rice 3S in sunny days is remarkable. From the proof, we can see that its tolerance is good. In high contrast, the details of highlights and darkness can be taken into account. The details are clear after magnification, but there is an old problem that when the shooting picture is too green, the white balance has drifted.
Macro and indoor:
The macro distance of Red Rice 3S is quite good. The details are in place and the color is restored accurately. When the light is weak indoors, it can be seen that the enlarged picture is smeared, and the details are lost seriously.
Low light at night:
The overall appearance of red rice 3S under weak light is good, and its purity is high. However, from the magnified details, it can be seen that the purity is obtained by smearing, so the details are carved seriously, and the glare control of highlight objects is good.
Photo summary:
It can be seen from the samples that the imaging of red rice 3S is indeed one of the best in the hundred yuan machine. Although the performance is smeared seriously at night, it is still in the visible category. The samples in the daytime can be said to be better than many thousand yuan machines. The white balance is more accurate and the discrimination is strong, which is relatively eye-catching in the hundred yuan level. With the simple and easy to use viewfinder, the usability is very strong, It can be said that Hongmi 3S is the most balanced mobile phone query among the 100 yuan mobile phones.
4: Performance
Red rice 3S is equipped with Snapdragon 430 processor, which is composed of A53 4x1.4GHz+A53 4x1.1GHz. The GPU is Adreno 505. With 3GB LPDDR3 memory+32GB flash memory eMMC5.1.
CPU computing performance
Flash memory read/write performance
Compared with the MT6750 of MediaTek, the Snapdragon 430 of the Red Rice 3S is undoubtedly better in CPU performance and read-write performance, and is more active in core deployment than the MT6750.
Red rice mobile phone 3S still has more than enough hands to deal with some mainstream mobile games or leisure games, but after all, Snapdragon 430 is a relatively low-end soc, which is also reflected from the score, so if you want to use Red rice mobile phone 3S to run some large-scale mobile games, you'd better wash and sleep.
5: Endurance
The Red Rice 3S is equipped with a 4000mAh battery. After 30 minutes of large-scale games (NBA 2K15), 30 minutes of wifi and 4G Internet access, 1 hour of music playing and 30 minutes of local video playing, the remaining power is 83% after a full three hour endurance test. When the WiFi is switched on and 4G is switched off, the power failure rate is about 6-7% after 8 hours of standby. The performance is quite good. If you are a heavy mobile phone user, Hongmi 3S is definitely a reassuring partner. Its endurance is enough to make you confident for a whole day.
6: Summary:
There is no doubt that the emergence of the Red Rice mobile phone 3S is to firmly fight down the strongest name of the 100 yuan mobile phone. It focuses on the standby and elderly mobile phones, including the metal body, fingerprint module, 2GB/3GB memory With 16GB/32GB storage, good photo taking experience and the new Snapdragon 430 processor, the Red Rice 3S is undoubtedly successful. As a standby phone or a mobile phone for the elderly, it can do its job well. However, the price of the high configuration version, which costs 899 yuan, is slightly embarrassing, and 899 yuan is close to the threshold of a thousand yuan phone in front of the door. If it is the main machine, Xiaobian doesn't recommend you to buy the Red Rice mobile phone 3S. Although the price is low, the overall experience is not comparable to the current mainstream 1000 yuan mobile phone. However, if you prefer to buy a standby machine with guaranteed performance, powerful endurance or a mobile phone for your parents, the Red Rice mobile phone 3S is really the best choice at present.
