Different from the rhythm of previous years, this year Xiaomi has taken many measures for its red rice series. It has released far more models than Xiaomi series. It also spent a lot of money to invite spokesmen to be titled "National Mobile Phone". Is there any change in other aspects of Hongmi Note 4, which is only a month away from Hongmi Pro, except that it looks the same as the eldest brother in appearance? Is the difference between the two worth it?
Appearance and workmanship
For details, please refer to the previous "Red Rice Note 4/Red Rice Pro/Magic Blue E" In general, the red rice Note 4 and the red rice Pro are different in appearance, but the back is almost the same, but the processing technology is slightly different, obviously to open the price of the two. If Note 4 is compared with Magic Blue E, the edge and sandblasting texture are lacking, giving a feeling of not being refined enough. However, considering the starting price of 899 yuan, it is understandable.
Screen quality
The red rice Note 4 is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080P screen. The official color gamut reaches 72% NTSC color gamut, and the measured result is 97.7% sRGB, which is within the error range. The default color temperature is 8900K, which is slightly cooler. Users who prefer warm screen need to adjust it by themselves.
Although the official maximum brightness is 450 nits, the measured value is 415 nits, which is a little big. The average DeltaE in the color accuracy test with a contrast of 1011:1104 colors is 4.8, and the highest DeltaE is 13.5. As always, there is nothing surprising about the performance.
Performance and system
The choice of Hongmi Note 4 on SoC is the Helio X20 of MediaTek, which is the same as the standard version of Hongmi Pro. The X25 difference between Hongmi Note 4 and the advanced/exclusive version of Hongmi Pro lies in the main frequency and GPU frequency. We Love to play computer games We got the high configuration version of Hongmi Note 4 (3G RAM+64G ROM). From the actual score, we can see that the gap between Hongmi Note 4 and Hongmi Pro is not big. If we change to the new GeekBench 4, the multi-core performance will even surpass that of Hongmi Pro, which can't help but surprise us.
In terms of GPU, X20 is Mali-T880MP4 with 700MHz, X25 increases the frequency to 850MHz, and other specifications are completely consistent. Reflected in the running score test, the frequency has increased by about 20%, and the GPU has increased by almost 50%. The growth is still considerable.
In terms of the system, it is MIUI8 that everyone is familiar with. Based on Android 6.0, it is not so fast to want nougat. The latest development version has updated the security patch in September, and the details are the same as those of other MIUI8 devices. Xiaomi has not set any special functions for Hongmi Note 4. In a word, it is still familiar. After startup, the remaining memory is about 1.7G, and the system requires 1.3G. The use of ADUI is not very exaggerated.
As for the situation of "one core is difficult, nine cores are around", which has been circulated for a long time on the Internet, it does not appear on Red Rice Note 4. When running a large game, it is basically possible to maintain a large core with several small cores, but there are few cases where the two large cores are fully open, and sometimes the large core will be completely closed, Such scheduling should be based on the consideration of heating and endurance.
Photo performance
In terms of photographing, the Red Rice Note 4 is equipped with a 13 million main camera with f/2.0 aperture, which supports PDAF. The CMOS on the prototype is Samsung's ISOCELL (model S5K3L8). In terms of calibration, as always, the right sample with HDR turned on is brighter than that without HDR, and the details are improved, but the white balance cannot be guaranteed.
Compared with Meilan E and Big Brother Hongmi Pro, the best white balance in this group of cloudy samples is Hongmi Note 4, and Hongmi Pro is hopeless. In terms of details, Magic Blue E can't compete with Xiaomi's two machines. Note 4 and Hongmi Pro are quite close in discrimination. From this group of samples, Hongmi Pro does not show the ability of dual cameras.
In the other group of samples with HDR fully enabled, the details of Magic Blue E are still the worst one. The difference between the Red Rice Note 4 and the Red Rice Pro is still not wide, but one thing that everyone has in common is the messy white balance.
However, in the night scene samples, the advantages of the Red Rice Pro's dual cameras are fully revealed. Although the white balance is somewhat lacking, the analytical power completely cuts down the magic blue E and the Red Rice Note 4. The English Happy Together below the Joy Fair can only be clearly seen by the Red Rice Pro. Even if the Red Rice Note 4 can barely fight with the Red Rice Pro in the daytime, it is still powerless in the evening.
In this group of indoor samples, the performance of the red rice Pro is slightly abnormal, and the details are not satisfactory. The white balance of the red rice Note 4 is still not eye-catching. Although it is the most discriminating one, the overall appearance is the best of Magic Blue E.
However, in the dark environment, the Red Rice Pro has fully played the advantages of dual cameras. The white balance is not only the best of the three, but also the best detail. Red rice Note 4 is a little inferior in details, but it is much better than the noisy picture of Magic Blue E, except that the white balance is still incomplete.
Endurance fever
Hongmi Note 4 is equipped with a 4100mAh battery, which is a little more than the 4050mAh battery of Hongmi Pro/Note 3. The remaining 74%, 76% and 78% in our endurance test are equal difference. Compared with top class models, there is still a long way to go, but in terms of normal use, this performance is good.
After running a large game for 30 minutes, the maximum temperature of the front side is about 42.6 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature of the back side is about 39.9 degrees Celsius. The actual feeling is relatively warm, and the hands will not be very hot. Xiaomi's adjustment of the MediaTek X20 is relatively mild and not radical.
tail
After use, the red rice Note 4 is not impressive, and it is usually integrated into life. There will be no sense of icing on the cake with it. All the functions are well behaved, which is good but not top. The author feels that the golden mean is the most suitable word for its characteristics. There is no double camera of the Red Rice Pro, nor the super cost performance of the Red Rice Note 3, but the workmanship is better than that of the Note 3, and the performance is not much weaker than that of the Red Rice Pro. The price of 899/1199 is embarrassing, but it does meet this price. After winning the title of "national mobile phone", the golden mean may be the most suitable direction for Hongmi.
