On December 24, 2018, Xiaomi launched a new series of mobile phones, Xiaomi Play, which focuses on free traffic in Beijing's Five Colorful Cities. It started with 1099 and uses 10G high-speed traffic for free every month. Then how does this mobile phone perform? After reading the evaluation, you will have an answer.
Parameter configuration
SoC： MediaTek P35 12nm
Storage: 4+64, 6+64, 6+128
Display: 2280 * 1080 5.84 inch LCD 19:9
Battery: 3000mAh
Camera: 1200W+200W pixel rear camera 800W pixel front camera
Other functions: 1 year free Internet access (see the featured features section for details)
appearance
The three dimensions are 147.76 mm 、 71.89 mm 、 7.8 mm ， 150g Its weight is much lighter than that of a large number of current flagship ships, and it uses the recently popular water drop full screen.
The back cover is made of plastic material. It adopts the mainstream vertical double photography plus rear fingerprint design this year. The fill light is located below the double photography. The back cover has a purple gradient effect from top to bottom. Regardless of the material, it is still very beautiful. In terms of appearance, it is higher than its flagship Xiaomi 8 and MIX 2S.
The bottom is a symmetrical design, with microphones from left to right, Micro-USB， Speakers.
The top is a microphone and a 3.5mm headphone port!
In terms of appearance, the price is OK. The water drop screen with gradient color on the back cover has a good appearance, even better than the flagship. Keep the earphone hole to give a good comment. Those without wireless earphones can also charge while listening to music. Starting from 1099, Micro USB is acceptable. The SIM card slot is designed with dual nano SIM+TF cards, and a TF expansion card can be inserted at the same time.
performance
MediaTek P35 SoC: CPU ARM A53 4*2.3Ghz+4*1.8Ghz
GPU PowerVR Rogue GE8320 680Mhz
4G LPDDR4X dual channel memory, 64G EMMC5.1 flash memory
Cat-7 upstream, Cat-13 down
In terms of CPU, Geekbench 4 can't be used to score, because the architecture uses ARM A53 architecture like Snapdragon 625, only the dominant frequency is different. 625 is 8 * 2.0Ghz, while MediaTek P35 is 4 * 2.3Ghz+4 * 1.8Ghz, so it can be seen that P35's CPU single core and multi-core are slightly better than Snapdragon 625.
Score of GPU is compared with that of Hongmi 6 (MediaTek P22) and Xiaomi Max3 (Xiaolong 636)
P35 can be seen as an upgrade of P22. The CPU also uses the A53 architecture. The P35 core frequency is slightly higher than 0.3Ghz, and the GPU is also a model. The P35 frequency is slightly higher than 30Mhz. Because our Hongmi 6 is a 3G memory version, some of the scores are quite different. This comparison is only for reference.
The progress of parameters is not great. Compared with the previous generation's run points, each progress is at least 7%, while the Xiaomi Max3 is abused in all aspects. There is still a gap between MediaTek P35 and Snapdragon 636 GPU.
Let's take a look at flash memory:
eMMC5.1 Flash memory, random write is low, and others are average ext4 File system, standard configuration of entry machine.
Copying:
Airplane mode, manual half brightness, Bluetooth off, synchronization options. Standby average power consumption 1.1w , CPU floating point, minus standby power consumption, average 1.9w . Single baked GPU, average 0.663w . Double baked, average 2.7w 。
12nm plus eight A53 architectures, well, it's a familiar flavor, and it's also a SoC that focuses on "endurance". Both CPU and GPU power consumption are not high, and CPU performance is close to that of Snapdragon 625 with the same architecture. Although the extreme performance is weak, the continuous performance output is good.
Endurance
Although the P35 is a endurance SoC, the endurance performance of Xiaomi Play is not outstanding, which is only equipped with 3000mAh The battery is inseparable. Except for the game, the power loss of other phones is two to four percentage points more than that of the other two phones, resulting in the least remaining power.
photograph
Rear main camera: IMX486 1200W Pixels, 1.25μm Unit pixel area, f/2.2 Aperture, 1/2.9 inch Sensor size
Sub photographer: ov02a10 200W Pixel (sub photography is not actually used to participate in imaging, but only to assist in virtualization)
The daytime resolution is OK, but because the main aperture and unit pixel area are small, and there is no optical anti shake, the lack of light can only reduce the shutter time or increase the ISO, so it is easy to paste the film when taking photos, and highlight suppression is also poor. It can be seen in the proof that highlight details are seriously lost. In the dark environment, only ISO can be improved to ensure the brightness of the picture. The painting of the picture is more serious, and the resolution at night is also seriously reduced.
Features
Xiaomi Play focuses on free traffic for 0 months. A Xiaomi mobile SIM card is included in the phone package (only the minimum 4+64 card is included).
There are two restrictions on this free traffic: 1. Limited models. Only Xiaomi Play4+64 or 6+64 are available. The top configuration version 6+128 and other mobile phones automatically switch to Unicom“ Eat till full ”Package. 2. Every month, 10G high-speed traffic is limited to 1Mbps after 10G and 256Kbps after 20G. One year later, the package will be automatically changed to the "Eat till Full" package of Unicom. With regard to the Unicom "Eat Enough" package, the monthly rent is 9 yuan/month. The package does not include traffic. One yuan per day is unlimited, which is equivalent to a daily rent card.
So what is the concept of 1Mbps? A few years ago, the indoor theoretical download speed of 2G was 2Mbps, which means that this 1Mbps is half slower than 2G a few years ago, not to mention 256Kbps, which is limited to WeChat and QQ text chat.
summary
Xiaomi Play focuses on 10G free high-speed traffic, but this 10G free high-speed traffic has the advantage of free in front of other unlimited daily rent cards. Moreover, this high-speed traffic card is only available in the minimum version, and can only be used in Xiaomi Play. The low configuration version only has 4G memory, and the background capacity of 4G memory is relatively weak now. If you really ten If you care about the 10G monthly high-speed traffic, you can consider purchasing the minimum configuration, and other versions will not be considered.
