On November 24, Xiaomi released a new generation of low-cost butcher Hongmi Note 3 dual Netcom version. In less than two months, Xiaomi officially announced on January 14 that the upgraded version of Hongmi Note 3 full Netcom version will be launched on January 17. Although the model of the phone is still the Red Rice Note 3, its configuration is almost a radical upgrade compared with the Red Rice Note 3 of the dual Netcom version. The most important thing is that the price is only 100 yuan more expensive than the dual Netcom version. The configuration of the phone is strong enough to instantly kill all smart phones at the same price in the market, and become one of the most luxurious thousand dollar phones in the world.
In terms of specifications, the SoC used in the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 is Snapdragon 650, The GPU is a 600 MHz Adreno 510, the memory of the high configuration version is 3G LPDDR3, and the screen is a 5.5 inch 1080P LCD screen. After inquiry, this one we have is a Tianma screen (different manufacturers may be different in different batches). The camera sensor, like the Galaxy A8, uses Samsung S5K3P3 (which can have other sensor suppliers). The battery is 4000mAh, which supports fingerprint recognition and no quick charge. Compared with the dual Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3, the full Netcom version has made major upgrades on the screen, camera, SoC and other key components. In terms of configuration, it has been far away from the high performance price ratio of 1000 yuan computers such as Meilan metal and LeEco 1s, and has opened a serious gap with its own dual Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3, which is unbelievable.
appearance
The outer package of Hongmi Note 3 is the same as that of the dual Netcom version. After opening the package, you can see a mobile phone, a data cable and a charging head.
The appearance of the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 is exactly the same as that of the dual Netcom version. There is a circle of plastic around the screen. The fingerprint identification area is below the camera. The arc processing on the back is a bit like Meizu. The three segment design is made of plastic material from top to bottom and metal in the middle. There are volume and power buttons on the right side of the machine body, and only sim card slot on the left side. The machine does not use the middle frame, but directly extends the metal part of the rear shell to the side.
In terms of accessories, the data cable and charging head are the same as those of the dual Netcom version. The charging head specification is 5V/2A.
screen
In terms of screen, the official announced that the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 uses more advanced "pixel level dynamic contrast adjustment technology" and "smarter sunlight screen". After our full Netcom version, the maximum white dot brightness in the center of the screen can reach 397 nits, and the brightness of the rest of the screen is about 390~405 nits. The brightness distribution is very uniform, and the color gamut covers 94% sRGB, 70% AdobeRGB. By default, the screen color temperature is 8000K, and the average Delta E is 1.18. Compared with the Red Rice Note 3 dual Netcom version, the two versions have the same color gamut range and maximum brightness. The full Netcom screen color temperature is colder, and the color restoration is more accurate. In general, the screen of Hongmi Note 3 All Netcom is better than that of the dual Netcom version.
System UI
The full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 uses the MIUI 7.1 system based on Android 5.1.1, while the dual Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 uses the MIUI 7 system based on Android 5.0. Although the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 is an Android 5.1.1 system, its use and settings are no different from the dual Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 of Android 5.0. After startup, the full Netcom version of Red Rice Note 3 (high configuration) can use 1.7GB of memory, enough for daily use.
performance
The full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 uses Snapdragon 650 SoC, 2 * A72 @ 1.8GHz+4 * A53 @ 1.2GHz, and the GPU is Adreno 510. In terms of performance, it is better than Xiaomi 4c's Snapdragon 808 and Hongmi Note 3's MT6795 of dual Netcom version. Snapdragon 650 adopts 4 * A53+2 * A72 large and small core architecture. We can regard it as "2016 Snapdragon 808", and its CPU performance is even better. Through software testing, the Snapdragon 6506 core of Hongmi Note 3 All Netcom is fully open, and it can maintain the highest frequency for 1 minute. This performance is very good, and many high-end SoCs may not be able to do it.

Xiaomi 4c uses a 13 million pixel IMX258/Samsung S5K3M2 camera sensor. After inquiry, our sensor is IMX258 The All Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 uses the Samsung S5K3P3 with 16 million pixels, which is the first time Xiaomi has used a 16 million pixel camera sensor on a mobile phone, and it is also on a thousand yuan mobile phone. The mobile phone that also uses the Samsung S5K3P3 sensor also has the Galaxy A8.
From the first group of daytime samples, the 16 million pixel full Netcom version of the Red Rice Note 3 does not have a gap between its analytical power and the 13 million pixel Xiaomi 4c. The overall picture is slightly overexposed, resulting in white building walls above, and the details of fonts below the building are lost due to overexposure.

In the third group of samples, the white balance performance of the two is similar. When we zoom in on the signs in the distance, we can see that the red rice Note 3 with 16 million pixels has lost its analytical power to Xiaomi 4c. At the same time, we can find that the red rice Note 3 has a circle of purple around the font of the all Netcom version, and Xiaomi 4c is normal, which may be related to the lenses of the all Netcom version of the red rice Note 3.

In the fourth group of samples, we can see from 100% of the original images that Xiaomi 4c has smeared on the green building envelope, effectively reducing noise. In this group of samples, Xiaomi 4c's analytical power is still stronger than that of the full network version of Hongmi Note 3.

Note: Xiaomi 4c and Hongmi Note 3 all Netcom versions have no optical anti shake
In the night proof part, Xiaomi 4c's performance is just so so, but compared with the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3, it is an overwhelming advantage. The night shot of Hongmi Note 3 is not only noisy, but also in the case of complex light and low light, the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 seems to be covered with a layer of fog, and the control of halo of Hongmi Note 3 is particularly poor, It is far worse than Xiaomi 4c.
Photo summary: Although the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 has a better camera sensor than the dual Netcom version, we don't need to have too much expectation on its photo taking. We can only say that it is a thousand yuan machine level, far inferior to Xiaomi 4c.

The temperature of Hongmi Note 3 after running the full Netcom version for one hour
In terms of heat, Snapdragon 650's heat control is better than Snapdragon 808's. After running a large game for one hour, the maximum temperature of the full Netcom version of Red Rice Note 3 is 38.1 ℃, while that of Xiaomi 4c is 41.7 ℃.
In terms of endurance, like the dual netcom version, the full netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 also uses 4000mAh batteries, but the full netcom endurance of Hongmi Note 3 is better than that of dual netcom, which is inseparable from the screen of the full netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 and Snapdragon 650.
Summary:
Xiaomi has once again lowered the mid and high-end SoC to the thousand yuan level. It is really conscientious that the Snapdragon 650 used in the full Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 has obvious advantages over the Snapdragon 808 and MT6975 in terms of performance, CPU scheduling, temperature control, power consumption control, etc. It can be said that the reason why the All Netcom version of Hongmi Note 3 is considered as "the king of 1000 yuan" is precisely because this Snapdragon 650, but even if it is the king of 1000 yuan, it is still a thousand yuan machine, and its photography is still the level of 1000 yuan machine.
