It has been more than a year since the launch of Xiaomi 4. This "difficult to produce" Xiaomi 5 has finally appeared in the eyes of the world. This year, the layout of Xiaomi on the intelligent ecological chain has also tended to be perfect, but there has never been a flagship product that can really be "sold". 16.2.24 On the afternoon of April 24, the spring new product launch conference in Beijing finally launched this new product with various halos of "black technology", and at the same time, major manufacturers also released many products with similar prices. So let's let's get to know whether this Xiaomi 5 is worth buying?

Packaging and accessories

The Xiaomi mobile phone 5 is packed in a paper box with a classic design of the roof. The front design is four different colors of rice 5 gold, pink, white and black. After opening the package, you can see the phone lying quietly inside a circle of paper boxes. Xiaomi 5 is divided into three versions: the standard version, the high configuration version and the exclusive version. The product in this trial is the high configuration version. This mobile phone is equipped with Snapdragon 820 processor, the maximum main frequency is 2.15GHz, and the main frequency of GPU is 624MHz.

         Xiaomi mobile phones are equipped with a temporary frosting film when they leave the factory, which is convenient for use during the transition period and prevents dust or oil stains from entering the gap before the film. The film is equipped with simple key descriptions and classic quotations - born for fever.

         The accessories of the product are also relatively simple, with a black version of Xiaomi 5, a power configurator, a USB charging cable, a manual and a warranty card.

Appearance and details

         In terms of appearance, m5 is a bit like Xiaomi Note, but it has improved on the basis of Xiaomi Note. Although the screen size is reduced to 5.15 inches, the resolution is 1920 * 1080, and the image display is clearer. In addition, this size design can not only save more power, but also be very effective Suitable for single hand operation.

         Xiaomi 5 adopts an aluminum alloy middle frame and glass body structure. The contact surface between the frame and the display screen is chamfered to create a narrow frame. The deep body seems to be integrated with the transparent screen. The upper part is a earpiece and a 4 megapixel front camera.

        The top is a headphone jack and an infrared port. Many mobile phones do not have an infrared port, but the Xiaomi mobile phone ecological chain takes this into account, which is very good. Everyone has encountered the situation that the remote control can not be found at the moment, so that the mobile phone can be used. Moreover, the operation of the mobile phone is more convenient and fast, and the mobile phone has a longer life than the remote control.

        The HOME key with the fingerprint identification system at the bottom of the screen is the finishing touch. The high hardness ceramic material is used as the fingerprint key, which gives the whole product an elegant flavor, and also avoids the impact of minor scratches on the fingerprint identification rate. The two ends of the HOME key are touch type return and menu keys, which are not displayed in standby mode, but two small white dots can be seen after waking up.

        Black technology brings a faster charging experience. Mobile phones have become an inseparable partner of everyone. We have also developed the habit of playing with mobile phones during the day and charging at night. However, continuous charging and discharging at night will shorten the battery life, and charging at night will also bring hidden dangers to property safety. The introduction of fast charging 3.0 technology makes you not have to wait.

        Personally, I tested the charging efficiency of Xiaomi mobile phone in standby mode. It can be charged from 0 to 26% in 15 minutes. The whole charging time is less than 90 minutes, which means that the battery can be fully charged in one and a half hours. Of course, it is not recommended that you use 0% power to recharge in actual use, which will cause large battery loss. However, this test proves that Xiaomi 5 has extremely high charging efficiency, and the era of charging for one night is over!

        At the bottom is the speaker and microphone USB Type-C interface, which solves the problem of wrong insertion every time when charging. It is right to insert it in the front and back. At present, this interface is not popular, and it is believed that new mobile phones will be upgraded to this interface in the near future.

        The dual Nano SIM card slot supports the 4G/4G/3G/2G networks of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, so that you can use whatever card you like to travel around China, but cannot support two telecom cards.

        Xiaomi's side keys are my biggest headache. I tried Xiaomi 1s, Xiaomi 2a, Xiaomi 3, Xiaomi 4, Mi Note and Hongmi Note, but I was disappointed with some models of power buttons. The side keys of Xiaomi 5 use the same surface treatment as the side of the fuselage. The keys are extremely sensitive and slightly loose, so I can't measure the tolerance of pressing for a long time.

        The back of Xiaomi 5 is made of 3D curved glass. It feels very good when held in the hand, fits perfectly with the palm, and has excellent appearance. The exclusive version is made of 3D ceramic materials. However, Xiaobian should remind everyone that the disadvantage of the glass back is that it is smooth, so the beloved Xiaomi 5 must be held well!

        The 16 million pixel camera on the back may not meet the expectations of some people, but after watching the photo taking effect, it may be understood that the photos are not completely determined by pixels. The formation of a good photo is due to the comprehensive quality of the camera. The sensor of Mi5 is Sony's new generation IMX298, which has a number of image quality enhancement technologies; The lens is protected by sapphire glass to prevent your camera from bumping; 4-axis optical anti shake allows you to take clear pictures with your shaking hands.

UI and Features

        After introducing the details of the camera, let's learn about the UI that has been praised by fans. Many people know that Xiaomi developed the system before making mobile phones, so let's take a look at the highlights of the system on the latest version of Mi 5!

        At first glance, it doesn't look very different. It continues the classic design, and the standard apps are still those. At the beginning, there is no difference when you open the pull-down menu. Here is the first introduction to the eye protection mode. Many white-collar workers in the city do great damage to their mobile phones during the day and computers at night. Using the eye protection mode can eliminate some harmful light to their eyes, It makes the mobile phone screen look yellow, but looks more gentle; NFC is also the feature of Xiaomi 5. It can transmit data by touching and touching, which is also the development direction of data transmission.

        The fingerprint identification system, which does not appear in Xiaomi Note, has finally been tried on M5. To be honest, people who have tried fingerprint unlocking or fingerprint payment will become lazy. When people turn on their mobile phones, they are impatient and unwilling to do more operations. Fingerprint identification gives consideration to the security and convenience of mobile phones. It can be predicted that this technology will be introduced into more fields.

        After the unlocking pattern is set, it needs to be identified and entered for many times. When all fingerprint identification is completed, the system will prompt you to fix it! ok

        Xiaomi mobile phones are very headstrong for this visual color adjustment. They can choose warm colors in winter, cool colors in summer, and natural colors in ordinary times. Will it be warm in winter and cool in summer?

        Many people will encounter a problem. The mobile phone will consume a lot of power overnight, because some software will run secretly in the background, and Mi5's Shenyin mode will configure the application power of all software.

Take photos

        M5 has dual color temperature flash lamp, DTI image quality is enhanced, and deep slot isolation technology reduces color crosstalk, It supports PDAF phase focusing. We don't need to know these technical terms, as long as we know that under the same pixel, m5 can keep a more beautiful scene. The camera filter also provides different styles.

        Outdoor shooting

        Indoor shooting

        Mobile shooting

           Personally, taking photos is similar to music appreciation. Everyone has different views. There may be slight differences between taking pictures continuously on the same mobile phone in time, not to mention the comparison of different types of photos. The photos taken can only be pleasing to the eye. From four different perspectives: indoor, outdoor, mobile and night view, the author shows you a Xiaomi 5 with strong comprehensive quality.

Xiaomi and Life

        Xiaomi sells not only a mobile phone, but also a complete ecosystem. It can be seen from the fact that Xiaomi bracelet, which cannot show the time, occupies 24.6% of the market. Xiaomi's ecosystem includes mobile phones, televisions, cameras, purifiers, bedside lamps, water purifiers, sockets, etc., all of which are connected and controlled by Xiaomi's mobile phones.

        Xiaomi also has its own mall, including underwear in addition to some electronic equipment!

The cloud system of Xiaomi Photo Album enables one account to share all photos, and faces can also recognize and classify faces intelligently.

       Not satisfied, run for a minute

        Xiaomi mobile phones used to say that they didn't agree to run a score. Although running a score can't explain the overall performance of the system, it can also reflect the problem from one angle. First of all, we use Anthare to score, and we can see that the data is very good, ranking third among all devices, and the first one should be the exclusive Mi5 version.

         With Master Lu's score, in addition to the low score of hardware, the score of system speed function and other aspects is also good. However, we also noticed that the drawing on the far right can see that the drawing of fingers is not able to occupy the edge of the screen, which still needs to be improved.

Mi 5 and Hisense

        The author is lucky to be testing a Hisense C1m. The price of this mobile phone is 1999 yuan, so it can form a certain contrast with Xiaomi. In appearance, both mobile phones have ultra narrow borders, while Hisense mobile phones do not have physical keys. They still use virtual keys for surnames, and do not use fingerprint recognition system, but the screen is larger.

        The Hisense mobile phone on the back is designed in three sections, which is more layered, and I prefer this golden appearance. However, the black shell of M5 does not appear rustic against the gold background, but exudes a low-key and restrained atmosphere.

        Hisense mobile phones have ears inserted at the bottom. This design is not convenient for listening to music. However, the connector still uses a traditional interface, and the charging efficiency is obviously lower than M5.

        The Hisense C1m still has a long way to go for the effect of taking photos and the system ui. Of course, Hisense, which has just started to enter the mobile phone industry, needs more cultural precipitation.

Final summary

      At the beginning, the author compared Mi 5 and Xiaomi Note, feeling that they are similar, but found that Xiaomi 5 has its own great connotation in use. In addition to the improvement of hardware, fingerprint identification is added, which makes the screen more incredible, unique appearance and feel.

Of course, there are also regrets, such as not joining the dual camera; It seems that Xiaomi has encountered difficulties in price performance ratio and pursuit of high quality; In addition, the design of the back is too smooth, so it is recommended to give a silicone pad for temporary use.

Finally, it is believed that the Mi 5 will become a mainstay for Xiaomi to enter the high-end market. Let youth continue to fever, fever will continue to the end.
