As popular models, Xiaomi 8 and One Plus 6 are equipped with the latest Snapdragon 845, dual camera and the already common "bangs" full screen. As the flagship of domestic brands, these two models can be regarded as the key targets for oil comparison. After the actual competition, which model is more worth buying?
Appearance design
Whether it is one plus 6 or Xiaomi 8, the front is a special-shaped full screen of more than 6 inches, which is commonly known as "Liu Haiping". The big difference is that Xiaomi 8's Liu Haiping is stuffed with infrared lighting elements and infrared cameras, so it takes up more space, squeezing the space of the notice bar. At the same time, in terms of the control of the black edge, one plus six is better than Xiaomi 8, but the positive differentiation is not very great. After all, the market is full of this kind of Liu Haiping.
However, in the design of the back, the two are quite different: Xiaomi 8 uses the latest 2018 "Xiaomi Family Design", with vertical double photography at the upper left corner and rear fingerprint identification at the upper center; Although one plus six is also a combination of vertical double photography+post fingerprint recognition, its design on the central axis line makes its features more prominent. In contrast, one plus six can be said to be slightly better in design, and Xiaomi 8 won the best iPhone X styling award without accident.
Screen quality
This time, Xiaomi used Samsung's AMOLED screen for the first time in screen selection. It is the same as the one plus six choice. It no longer insists on LCD screen. In terms of resolution, both are currently the mainstream FHD+level. It is a pity that Samsung's 2K level AMOLED screen is not equipped.
According to the actual test data, the AMOLED screens equipped with Xiaomi 8 and One Plus 6 are at the same level, and the specific differences are different in the tuning. One Plus continues the former very powerful "scoring mode" - sRGB and DCI-P3 mode, and the color accuracy in the corresponding color gamut is significantly better than that of Xiaomi 8.
Of course, after Samsung's AMOLED screen is adopted, PWM dimming and P-row have become a problem for users to choose. Different people have different feelings. Users who mind are suggested to make a decision after offline experience. What they really don't want to accept is to consider the MIX 2S, HTC U12+and other models that still adhere to LCD screen.
System and performance
Among the flagship models of non Huawei and Samsung, the SoC is the Snapdragon 845 provided by Qualcomm, while the LPDDR4x memory and UFS 2.1 flash memory are also the standard hardware of the domestic flagship. Therefore, the performance gap between the Xiaomi 8 and the One Plus 6 can be said to be very small, and from the run test point of view, it is also similar.
The big difference in the run point test is the random write speed of flash memory. Xiaomi 8 can achieve a high speed of 130M/s, which has certain advantages over one plus six. Other parts of the performance are completely comparable. The performance part of both is the top level of the current Android models, so don't worry.
Compared with the performance difference, Xiaomi 8 and One Plus 6 are more different in the system. Xiaomi 8 is equipped with the MIUI 10 based on Android 8.1. According to the publicity of the press conference, the new MIUI 10 has specifically strengthened its popularity, and the UI has also been partially updated, such as the design of the multi task interface and notice bar. The addition of rounded elements has many similarities with the latest Android P. The one handed mode that made people laugh bitterly at the beginning retained the "bangs", which were removed in the later system update, and this "bug" was fixed.
Unlike the MIUI on which Xiaomi is famous, the hydrogen/oxygen OS based on Android 8.1, which is carried at home and abroad, is closer to the native system experience as a selling point, so the overall design is relatively simple. And since one plus one, the flagship model of one plus one has taken the playability of the system as one of the selling points. It is easy to unlock, has more third-party firmware, and has various kernel plug-ins adjusted for one plus one, which is one of the advantages over Xiaomi 8.
Since Google has promoted Project Treble after Android O, making One Plus Six one of the models that can taste the latest Android P, it must be a major advantage for users who like to toss around mobile phones. In terms of system playability, Xiaomi 8 is inferior to one plus six. After all, Xiaomi's Android P model is the boss MIX 2S, and Yijia is the son of XDA (laugh).
Biphoto duel
In terms of photography, Xiaomi 8 and One Plus 6 both gained high scores in DxOMark, and their actual performance was greatly improved compared with that of the domestic flagship last year. One plus six has greatly improved in hardware and added optical anti shake; The Xiaomi 8 has directly brought us outstanding performance different from previous models. The two machines have played well in most scenes of daily use, and can meet most needs of users.
P. S. The following samples default to 8 millets on the left and one plus 6 on the right
To sum up: when the light is sufficient, Xiaomi 8 has the advantage of double the light variation, but there is a problem of white balance drift; The white balance of one plus six is slightly better, but the analytical power cannot open the gap. The powerful sharpening effect has significantly improved the details of scenes with words. In low light environment, Xiaomi 8 performs better in general, except for double light change in low light and noise control in extremely low light; One plus six white balance performance is slightly poor, and there is a problem of insufficient exposure. Under weak light and extremely weak light, there will be a serious green phenomenon. More detailed photo comparison can be viewed "Two male and female take photos and duel, one plus 6 VS Xiaomi 8" 。
Charging and endurance
Xiaomi 8 is equipped with a 3400mAh battery, and one plus six is a 3300mAh battery. The difference between the same SoC and similar AMOLED screen and battery capacity should be small. According to the measured results, in our two-hour endurance test, the remaining 79% is one plus six, and the remaining 78% is Xiaomi eight, which is only 1 percentage point lower, consistent with the prediction.
After all, in today's era of highly homogeneous smartphone hardware, the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 will have little difference in performance and endurance as long as the manufacturer does not show any weakness.
In terms of charging, as the flagship model, it naturally supports fast charging. One plus six is still the familiar Dash flash charging, while Xiaomi 8 supports the latest QC4+fast charging (but the actual charging speed is no advantage over QC3.0). Dash flash charge has no suspense about the charging speed. The power of each node is 8 meters ahead of Xiaomi, reaching 92% after one hour; Although Xiaomi 8 was slower than one and six, the actual speed was not slow, and reached 85% after one hour, which was normal.
tail
In the end, it is natural to discuss which machine is worth starting with, and whether to play rascal or bring it up for comparison, regardless of the price. Xiaomi starts at 2699 yuan, a 6GB+64GB version; One plus six is also a 6GB+64GB version, starting at 3199 yuan. First of all, for users who require 8GB of memory, they can almost only choose one plus six. Because Xiaomi 8 does not provide this configuration, they need to purchase the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8 (But I can't get it) 。
In the case of similar configurations, if the appearance and system requirements are not very high, the price performance ratio of Xiaomi 8 is higher, and it is suitable for price sensitive users; For users who like tossing about the system and finding fault with the appearance, one plus six will meet the requirements better than Xiaomi 8, but they just need to pay more soft coins. As for those consumers who cannot accept bangs and reject AMOLED screens, these two machines should not be your dishes.
