Originally belonging to the MIUI 7 launch conference, the Red Rice Note2 won the limelight in the middle of the event. This machine, which costs at least 799 yuan, is equipped with the latest Helio X10 SoC (MT6795) from MediaTek. We must know that the MX5 and LeEco 1, which also use MT6795 and have similar specifications to Red Rice Note 2, can both sell for more than 1500 yuan. On August 13, 2015, human beings finally recalled the terror once dominated by price butchers
The high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2 uses a 5.5 inch 1080P LCD screen, MediaTek MT6795 SoC, dual 4G dual card dual standby (telecom users don't cry), 2GB LPDDR3 RAM+32GB ROM (support storage expansion), 13 million pixels for the rear camera, S5K3M2 specific sensor model, aperture F/2.2, CMOS size of 1/3.06, 5P mirror set, support phase focusing, and 3060mAh battery capacity.
Note: The engineering machine we got is the high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2, which is infinitely close to the retail version.
Comparison of specifications between the enhanced version of Hongmi Note and the high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2
In theory, the MT6795+2G LPDDR3+1080P can give users a happy experience. However, in the actual use process, the smoothness is no problem, but there is still a slight lack of touch.
appearance
The screen glass of Hongmi Note 2 is not the 2.5D arc design that has become very popular recently. It is still 2D glass. The back shell is matte treated. Personally, the hand feel is very good than that of the previous generation of Hongmi Note. The matte treated back shell will not feel greasy even if it is used for a long time.
There is a Micro USB port at the bottom, and the back cover of the red rice note 2 is easier to disassemble than the previous generation, with better elasticity.
The Hongmi Note 2 uses a lithium battery with a rated capacity of 3020mAh/11.60Wh. As a 1000 yuan mobile phone, Hongmi Note2 is not ambiguous in terms of materials. We can see the graphite heat sink on the back shell. Xiaomi also has reasons for doing so, as will be mentioned below.
The output specification of the power adapter is 5V===2A, and the built-in data cable is made of thick rubber.
MIUI 7 system
The launch of MIUI 7 was very impressive, but in fact, from the experience point of view, it is not significantly different from MIUI 6, and even the UI has not been improved. However, the official said that they have done a lot of optimization within the system, and the experience difference brought by such optimization is not intuitive.
The memory of Hongmi Note 2 is 2G, and many students are worried that this memory will not be enough. Here we try, after clearing all the backstages, the remaining memory after startup is more than 900 M, and we are opening QQ, Post Bar, WeChat After Chrome (1 page), there is still 400 MB of memory available, while after switching back and forth between users' software for more than 10 minutes, there is still more than 300 MB available. Therefore, 2G of memory is enough to cope with such daily situations.
Screen test
In terms of the screen, the red rice Note 2 has a 94% sRGB color gamut, an average color deviation of 2.16, the maximum white spot brightness in the center is about 390 nits, and the screen edge brightness is about 370 nits. Although the color gamut does not cover 100% sRGB, the color restoration and adjustment of the screen are good, the maximum brightness is about 390 nits, and the surrounding brightness is not bad. The color temperature measured at the highest brightness is 6500K, This kind of data is hard to compete with the mobile phones at the price of 1500 yuan.
Update: The screen of this prototype is Tianma screen.
performance testing
The high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2 uses the MT6795+2GB LP DDR3 with the main frequency of 2.2GHz, which can provide about 12GB/s bandwidth performance. According to the classic theory that "providing 4GB/S bandwidth per 1 million pixels can ensure basic smoothness", the resolution of 1080P is about 2.07 million pixels, and the high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2 has excellent performance. In the performance test, the performance of the MX5 using the MT6795 is very similar to that of the MX5 using the MT6795. Only in the GeekBench 3 multi-core test, the MX5 has obvious advantages. In the flash memory read and write test, the MX5 using eMMC 5.0 flash memory naturally leads the high configuration version of the Red Rice Note 2.

One of the characteristics of the samples of Hongmi Note 2 advanced version is that the saturation is slightly too high. As we can see in this group of photos, the saturation of the samples of Hongmi Note 2 advanced version is higher than that of Hongmi Note enhanced version. Compared with the lighter Hongmi Note enhanced version, the small editor prefers this style, Although the color restoration of the real scene in the enhanced version of Hongmi Note is closer to the naked eye.
In the first and second samples of this group of pictures, after 100% magnification, we can see the display of remote fonts. The analytical power of the high configuration version of Red Rice Note 2 is significantly better than that of the enhanced version of Red Rice Note. In the third sample, after 100% magnification, the performance of gray railings, the enhanced version of Red Rice Note has basically been pasted together, The red rice Note 2 is also sticky, but the situation is slightly better.

In this backlight photo, the high configuration version of Red Rice Note 2 controls the light better than the enhanced version of Red Rice Note. After the sample is enlarged, it can be seen that the sharpness of the enhanced version of Red Rice Note is obviously insufficient, and the edges and corners have been pasted obviously.

In the sample of the enhanced version of Hongmi Note, the sky has been obviously exposed, and the blue sky and white clouds are almost integrated, while in the high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2, we can still see the clouds and the sky.

In the night scene, both of them do not have optical anti shake, but the problem of overexposure of the enhanced version of the Red Rice Note still exists. In terms of analytical power, the high configuration version of the Red Rice Note 2 is better than the enhanced version of the Red Rice Note. In addition, in the night scene with complex light, the probability of pasting of both versions is high.
Endurance and fever
In our three-and-a-half hour endurance test, the performance of the high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2 is slightly lower than that of the previous generation of Hongmi Note. However, after the three-and-a-half hour test, Hongmi Note 2 still maintains 55% of the power. This performance is also moderate. For most people, it should not be a problem to maintain a day of use.
During the heat test, we played NBA 2K15 for two hours, and found that the temperature reached the highest. Like most of the machines, the highest temperature was near the camera, which was 51.8 ℃. This is probably the biggest shame before the United hair subject. At the same time, the temperature in other parts of the machine was not low, which was above 41 ℃, which was simply a hot potato, However, in daily use, Hongmi Note 2 does not have serious fever, and the above high temperature only occurs when large-scale 3D games are run for a long time. Therefore, students who do not play such games usually need not worry about the fever of Hongmi Note 2.
summary
The high configuration version of Hongmi Note 2 still reflects the characteristics of millet price butcher as always. The MT6795+2G RAM+1080P+double cards, double waiting, double 4G can be bought for 999 yuan, which is simply the reason to be a human being in the parishioners' business. Today, Xiaomi has become the leading player in the domestic market, and even in the international market, its shipment volume ranks within the top five. It can rely on brand, but it is stubborn to rely on price.
Although we found some shortcomings in the evaluation of the high configuration version of the Red Rice Note 2, such as its multi-core score is inferior to the MX5. At the same time, the high configuration version of the Red Rice Note 2 has a serious fever problem in the long game, but as long as we think of its price of only 999 yuan, we can tolerate all these shortcomings, while the standard version is even only 799 yuan, What bike do you want?
