In three months, if you ask me what kind of mobile phone to buy for less than 1400 yuan, I will answer without hesitation - Hongmi Note 5.
Red rice Note 5 has three core selling points: "Snapdragon 636, S5K2L7 sensor and price starting from 1099 yuan". After the early generation of Hongmi series and Hongmi Note 3 All Netcom, Hongmi series has not tried to lead its rivals so much in price performance for a long time (magic blue E3 of 1799 yuan: what are you talking about?). This year, the early generation of Hongmi mobile phone was 4 years old, and Hongmi Note 3 All Netcom was 2 years old.
conclusion
The key point is to say: 1 Among the 1000 yuan machines below 400 yuan, the smoothness and photo taking of the Red Rice Note 5 rank first. There is no big short board, and the price performance ratio is not competitive for the time being.
However, the top price of 1699 yuan is not considered, and the old flagship is the best price. In order to facilitate reading, the conclusion of this detailed review is preceded by:
The screen is on the upper middle of the mainstream of 1000 yuan, The highlight is accurate in color, but the smear is obvious ；
The system has full screen gestures, but the bottom layer of Android 8.1 is too new, and the compatibility of old apps and system stability need to be improved;
Snapdragon 636 has good performance, and kills Snapdragon 626/630 in seconds Exynos 7872 , but GPU performance is weak and large-scale games are hard. Overall, it is above 650 and below 652/660 of the current Snapdragon;
Photos that can rank first in the thousand yuan machine The experience and effect are not much worse than that of Xiaomi MIX 2;
Very good battery life, heat generation and charging speed , but you have to buy the quick charger yourself (the official website sells for 29.9 yuan).

1799 Price Comparison
In terms of parameters and cost performance, Hongmi Note 5 successively sinks Hongmi 5 Plus, Meilan S6 and Meilan Note 6. For the same version of 3+32, if you add 100 yuan, the red rice Note 5 can provide better screen, SoC of different levels, better GPU performance and photographic performance. The price difference of 100 yuan can be said to be a big profit.
The Meilan E3, which was supposed to compete with the Hongmi Note 5, was directly out of the category of the thousand yuan machine because of the starting price of 1799 yuan (starting at 6+64).
The red rice note 5 uses the screen of Tianma, which is a video mode. The rear main camera is Samsung S5K2L7, the sub camera is S5K5E8, and the front is OV13855, Samsung's memory.

The red rice note 5 has maintained the paper box packaging with white words on red background, and there is a silica gel water shell attached with the machine. Other accessories include:
Warranty card and mirco USB data cable integrated with the manual;
The most concise clip in history (similar to a paper clip, bent by iron wire);
The 5V2A charging head (model MDY-08-EV, contracted by Dongguan Aohai) has caused many netizens' dissatisfaction. The Hongmi Note 5 natively supports the 18W Qualcomm QC3.0 quick charge, so you need to purchase an additional quick charge head.
The design of Hongmi Note 5 is a conventional 1000 yuan machine. The back is made of three-stage aluminum alloy, and the top and bottom are made of plastic with slight color difference. Focus:
Thanks to the tradition of Xiaomi family, Hongmi Note 5 is equipped with an infrared sensor that can remotely control household appliances;
The mirco USB interface is used, but as a thousand yuan machine positioning, this is actually not a problem;
Similar to vivo X20 and OPPO R11s, the washer around the screen is high, the metal frame is thin, and the feel is good;
At the junction of the middle frame and the back cover of the aluminum alloy back cover, a slot is made to imitate the independent glass back cover, but it has little impact on the feel.
screen
The red rice note 5 uses a 6-inch 2160 * 1080 18:9 full screen, Tianma screen, video mode, and IPS materials. The visual perception and measured data are very close to that on the Red Rice Plus, which can be said to be Very standard mid-range products, which are above the average price.
Objective test at a brightness close to 100 nits in daily use
The measured maximum brightness is 475 nits, and the corner brightness difference is about 15 nits. The uniformity is good. The minimum brightness of all white is 1.14 nits, which is also OK;
The color gamut is just enough to cover the sRGB color gamut. The color accuracy of the standard mode performs well, but the color accuracy of other modes is satisfactory;
The intelligent adaptation mode seems to affect the backlight strategy, and the contrast will increase significantly;
The three modes are cold, and the standard mode of "special for running points" deviates from the 6500K standard color standard slightly, which is slightly yellow to the naked eye and performs well. For comparison, under the sRGB color gamut standard, iPhone 7 is 1.6, Note5 is 1.8, S6 edge+is 2.6, and S7 edge is 2.9.
If you are interested in the details of the color deviation part, you can view the details of the color accuracy test of the following three modes:
system
The system of Hongmi Note 5 is MIUI 9.5 stable version, and the bottom layer goes directly to Android 8.1. System experience and other Xiaomi/Hongmi mobile phones There is little difference. The key upgrade is to add face recognition and MIUI full screen gestures.
The main problem is that the underlying version of the system may be too new, some old apps flash back, HDR continuous shooting will mix several samples without HDR, etc. The system The stability needs to be improved by OTA ; MIUI has more and more restrictions on various things. Now It is too much to install third-party apps without SIM card. Below are the system details:
On the red rice note 5, the file names of the HDR and night view model proofs do not have the "HDR, HHT" notes on the MIUI before. It may be that you forgot to add or cancel this function.
Full screen gesture: slide the left and right borders of the whole world inward to return, scroll up to the home page, scroll up and stop to trigger the task management interface. Same as Xiaomi MIX 2/2S.
The press conference focused on the front of Red Rice Note 5 and AI photography, claiming that the portrait mode has added machine learning algorithm, which can beautify skin in different areas and support "AI cosmetic" algorithms such as intelligent nose augmentation. The front and rear supports background virtualization, the front is equipped with soft light, and supports automatic HDR (you should know that most of Xiaomi's flagship ships do not have automatic HDR now...).
In addition, the publicity of Hongmi Note 5 adds AI face unlocking, uses GPU operation to speed up, and uses algorithms to prevent image and video deception. We will talk about its specific anti fraud ability in the video and detailed review later, but its recognition rate is in line. Like other face recognition, its recognition rate will decline when backlighting. For daily use, it is recommended to use fingerprints directly, which is much easier.
performance
The Snapdragon 636 carried by the Red Rice Note 5, as long as the supply price and quantity are not inferior, Snapdragon 636 is very likely to take the place of Snapdragon 625, the civilian "God U" ：
Its CPU is 14nm LPP process, 4 * 1.8GHz Kryo 260+4 * 1.6GHz Kryo 260, and its GPU is Adreno 509. The large core and small core are Qualcomm's semi autonomous architectures based on A73 and A53 respectively.
Snapdragon 636 is jokingly called the reduced frequency youth version of Snapdragon 660. It is also the Hexagon 680 DSP and X12 LTE baseband (both of which were the original Snapdragon 820/821). It supports Bluetooth 5, but the dual channel LPDDR4 frequency is only 1333MHz (Snapdragon 660 is 1866MHz). In terms of configuration balance, Snapdragon 636 is the best Samsung Exynos 7872 (the one on Magic Blue S6 has a gap in GPU, baseband and DSP).
For the detailed performance, you can view the articles before iTouch The Rise of God U! Performance Evaluation of Red Rice Note 5 Snapdragon 636 ， Below are excerpts and key versions.
CPU： Snapdragon 636 single core and multi-core Second only to Snapdragon 660 Among them, the gap of multi-core is larger, completely crushing the Snapdragon 630/625. The performance of single core memory is good, but the performance of multi-core memory is average, and the memory latency is too high to break the record again. Flash memory performance is good for eMMC 5.1, except for random reading.
GPU： I can only say It is better than Snapdragon 630, and there is a huge gap between it and Snapdragon 660. With the 2160 * 1080 "full screen" with higher resolution than before, the actual game performance will not be much better than Snapdragon 630, or even better than Red Rice 5 and Magic Blue S6 on 720P+screen, which is the biggest regret of Snapdragon 636.
power waste: Excellent power consumption control and very stable frequency of large cores. The average power consumption of the CPU+GPU of the toaster does not exceed 2.7W (software test value, the results are for reference only). Although the small core of the room temperature double baking has dropped to 633MHz, the large core still has 1.8GHz, which is very strong.

Endurance&Charging&Heating
In terms of heating, after 30 minutes of NBA 2K15, the maximum temperature of the front and back fuselage was about 42.8 degrees. It felt warm and performed well
Hongmi Note 5 is equipped with a 4000mAh battery. After 30 minutes of large-scale games (NBA 2K15), 30 minutes of wifi and 4G Internet access and 30 minutes of local video playback, after a total of 2 hours of endurance testing, the remaining power is 80%, and the performance is good. It is better than Meilan E3 with SoC and screen size, but only 3360mAh battery (if the test duration continues to extend, the gap will be larger).
Hongmi Note 5 supports QC 3.0 fast charging, but the standard charging head is only 5V2A, so users need to purchase additional fast charging heads for fast charging. With the charging head of Xiaomi MIX 2, the maximum output of the bright screen is 16.9W, and the maximum output of the off screen is about 14.3W.
The actual charging speed is OK, and the number of mAh charged per unit time is slightly less than that of Magic Blue E3, which is faster than that of Samsung Note8 (only 12W actually). However, due to the large capacity of the battery, the actual charging percentage growth rate is similar to that of Note8. It takes 21% in 15 minutes, 38% in 30 minutes, and 1 hour and 19 minutes for 90%. It takes 1 hour and 49 minutes to fully charge.
photograph
In the detailed photo comparison section, you can view the articles before Love Computer "Rebellion! Red rice Note 5 - Xiaomi MIX 2 - Meilan Note 6 Photo Comparison" Here are excerpts and highlights:
The photo taking experience of Hongmi Note 5 is excellent . The imaging performance completely exceeded expectations, approaching the flagship Xiaomi MIX 2. Although the latter is not very strong, the red rice note 5 of 1099 has This level of photography has no suspense at the top of the thousand yuan camera 。
Parameters: The main camera of Hongmi Note 5 is S5K2L712 million pixels, 1/2.55 inch, 1.4 μ m, full pixel dual core focusing, but no optical anti shake, equipped with F1.9 aperture lens. On it is a 5 megapixel auxiliary camera (sensor is Samsung's S5K5E8), which is only responsible for depth/distance detection for background virtualization. Hongmi Note 5 is the largest camera pixel in Xiaomi's home except for Xiaomi 5s. "1.4 μ m large pixel+full pixel dual core focusing+ISP and DSP on Snapdragon 636 (this is from Snapdragon 820/821)" Camera configuration, It is higher than red rice series and even many millet series machines 。
Experience: After full pixel dual core focusing, there is no problem of weak light exhaust and wind box of MIX 2 any more, and finally there is automatic HDR. But there is no optical anti shake. The lowest shutter is 1/14 second. It is still easy to shake the paste film by hand under weak light.
effect: Its metering is bright by default, and its white balance is also more stable than that of Xiaomi MIX 2. The weak light ancestral green has improved, but it is still green compared with other brand products such as Meilan Note6. The color saturation is slightly high, and the color is pleasing to the eye. HDR/tolerance is also better than Xiaomi MIX 2, and complex texture expression is also better than Xiaomi MIX 2. The only thing weaker than Xiaomi MIX 2 is the extreme discrimination of sunlight and the control of weak light and noise. However, including weak light scenes, the difference in discrimination is very small.
PS： The following is the sample. Of the four machines, only Hongmi Note 5 has automatic HDR. For outdoor samples in the daytime, all machines are turned on HDR, and the focus of all samples is in the middle. If you browse on the PC version of the official website of Iookie, you can click the picture to view the large picture.
