Autumn and winter of 2018 is a busy season for the smart phone industry. Many mobile phone manufacturers have chosen to release new products in this month. Previously, there were ASUS ROG, Black Shark mobile phones, such as game makers, and Huawei Mate 20, such as the flagship of the year. At the end of the month, two direct competitors, Xiaomi MIX3 and Glory Magic2, fought in the mainstream consumer market, There is also one plus 6T, which focuses on overseas markets. It is no exaggeration to describe this busy September and October with a grand occasion.
Among them, the most popular ones are Xiaomi MIX3 and Glory Magic2. The former is a representative work that once blazed a new trail in full screen mobile phones, and the latter is a return work of Magic series that once attracted countless people's attention. However, with the development of smart phones, larger screen size and higher screen proportion have become the benchmark of smart phones. They have also chosen the same design - no Liu Haizhen full screen+manual sliding screen. Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the two models with similar design and close positioning.
Face bumping appearance?
Speaking of appearance, it's really a bit awkward. First, Glory Magic2. During IFA2018, the public's eyes were focused on the Kirin 980. Glory President Zhao Ming suddenly said that the Magic series was about to return. Magic2 would be equipped with "magic sliding screen", that is, manual sliding screen. For a while, the amazing Magic would come back to the digital circle.
Immediately after, Lin Bin, vice president of Xiaomi, also showed the Xiaomi MIX3 with the same sliding screen structure design on Weibo, calling it "hit the face", which was very embarrassing. Now, for the sake of the ultimate proportion of screens, sliding screen structure is one of the best choices at present. It is understandable that both of them have the same design. On October 25, Xiaomi MIX3 has taken the lead in unveiling, waiting for Magic2, hoping to continue the amazing magic of the original generation.
Who is the best SoC?
Glory Magic2 will carry Kirin 980 without any doubt. This is the latest generation of flagship chip of Huawei, which adopts the 7nm process technology GPU、NPU、 In terms of communication performance, compared with the previous generation of Kirin 970, it has greatly improved, especially the CPU performance. It is the first SoC in the world to use the ARM Cortex A76 architecture.
The Xiaomi MIX3 continues to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which is also the best chip in the current Android camp besides the Kirin 980. Although the GPU performance is still strong, it is not inferior to the Kirin 980, but when facing the new A76 architecture, the CPU performance, whether single core or multi-core, is not cheap.
Off screen fingerprint or post fingerprint?
In 2018, offline fingerprint has become the standard configuration of the flagship machine. Xiaomi MIX3 still uses the back entity fingerprint identification, or as Xiaomi's flagship. Although the offline fingerprint is not necessarily faster than the traditional entity fingerprint in absolute speed, the fingerprint recognition on the front is always more important. The offline fingerprint is also considered as an effective complement to 3D structured light unlocking, especially when the mobile phone is placed on the table and it is not convenient to unlock with a face. Although Glory Magic2 has not been released yet, Xiong Junmin, vice president of Glory products, has said that Glory Magic2 will definitely use offline fingerprints.
DXO 108 points VS AI six shots?
In addition to the screen, the biggest upgrade of MIX3 must be taking pictures. DXO Mobile has reached a high score of 108 points for taking pictures, 93 points for videos, and 103 points for synthesis. It has replaced Xiaomi 8's 105 points for taking pictures, 88 points for videos, and 99 points for synthesis, becoming the best model for taking pictures in the Xiaomi family.
In terms of Glory Magic2, the suspense is relatively large. The confirmed news is that there will be three cameras in front of and behind each other, with a total of six cameras. The most important one is the rear three cameras. The three camera layout similar to P20 Pro is adopted. If a solution similar to P20 Pro is adopted, there is still a lot of suspense about which is higher or which is lower. However, the specific shooting effect depends on the comparative analysis of real samples.
summary
The once glorious Magic amazed the audience. The four curved surface super round design+top SoC+super fast charging made people feel that the glory not only has cost performance, but also can have design and technical reserves. However, the Magic in those days was more like a work of dazzling technology, and soon disappeared. In the past two years without Magic, full screen, Liu Haiping, water drop screen and true full screen have swept the smartphone market, and Xiaomi's MIX series has become a clear stream in the smartphone industry and a benchmark for domestic mobile phones with its unique full screen design. Now the Glory Magic series is about to return, and the MIX3 is finally no longer alone. The final winner of the two depends on the final pricing strategy of Glory Magic 2. What do you think of these two popular models?
