Brief comment on Xiaomi 10S: minor repairs and repairs, another year

It is said that since the Xiaomi 5S in 2016, the S-generation version of the Xiaomi digital series has disappeared for a long time, until today's release of the Xiaomi 10S. This machine is a product that has upgraded the appearance ID, SoC and external speakers on the basis of the previous generation of the Xiaomi 10. Recently Love to play computer games We also got the Xiaomi 10S real machine and had a simple hands-on experience.

For detailed configuration parameters, see the following figure:

Appearance/screen

Apart from Apple, mobile phone manufacturers generally don't really take the old appearance ID design and put it on the new hardware to sell it. So compared with the previous generation of Xiaomi 10, the appearance of Xiaomi 10S has been updated in a wave. The main difference is the design of the back cover and camera module.

The colors released by Xiaomi 10S this time include black, white and blue. We started with the white model. We have to say that this is probably the most prominent model in the back cover texture performance among the mobile phones released by Xiaomi in the past two years. Although it is a glass back plate, it does have a similar look and feel to ceramic. The previous model may have a similar look and feel to the MIX 2S, Xiaomi's pure white mobile phone is finally back.

The design of the camera module is obviously copied from the Xiaomi 10 Super Commemorative Edition. However, the Xiaomi 10S is not as full as the former because the camera configuration is not as full as the former, so the length of the module is actually slightly shorter, and it is more harmonious when placed on the back cover. With the simple white back cover, the premium camera design and the texture of the curved screen, the high-end feel of the 10S is available.

Like Xiaomi 10/10 Pro, there is a loudspeaker opening on the top. This time, there is also a sign of Harman Carton beside it.

As for the front panel, it is exactly the same as the previous generation. The hyperboloid screen with holes dug in the upper left is 6.67 inches, 2340 × 1080 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate OLED. From the special star sub pixels under the microscope, it should be the OLED panel of CSOT, and the later batch of Xiaomi 10 is also the CSOT panel.

The measured maximum brightness of the screen is 408 nits for manual operation, 470 nits for local operation, 640 nits for automatic operation, and 821 nits for local operation. The brightness performance is roughly at the same level as that of Xiaomi 10 and Xiaomi 10 Super Commemorative Edition.

The three dimensions and weight of the Xiaomi 10S are basically the same as those of the Xiaomi 10/10 Pro. Considering that all new machines are losing weight this year, the Xiaomi 10S may suffer some losses in weight control.

performance

Xiaomi 10S has replaced the Snapdragon 870 SoC. This year, the actual performance output of the Snapdragon 888 is not as strong as expected, so the sub flagship carrying the Snapdragon 870 is also expected.

First look at a wave of theoretical performance scores:

CPU

GPU

Flash Memory

In terms of theoretical performance, whether it is the single core CPU, multi-core CPU or GPU, there is still a significant gap with Snapdragon 888. Compared with 865, the improvement is mainly in the single core CPU and GPU, and there is almost no gap in multi-core CPU. It is worth mentioning that the Xiaomi 10 Pro uses UFS 3.0 flash memory. Maybe because the Write Turbo is not added, the measured flash memory reading is only 1400MB/s, and the writing speed is the normal performance of UFS 3.0 flash memory.

In terms of game performance, we selected "Peace Elite" and "Original God" for testing:

The Peace Elite unlocked HDR HD and 90 frame mode, and it can run to 86.7 frames on average in one round. The middle fluctuation mainly occurs in the scene of driving vehicles. However, the fluctuation depth is not large compared with the previous Snapdragon 865 model, so the frame rate fluctuation is only 18.3.

The original spirit can run to 57 frames on average 15 minutes after 60 frames of full high quality (the tested scene may not be so good), and the frame rate fluctuates 9.7, more in the later period.

In terms of game performance, the 870 Xiaomi 10S is no different from the previous 888 model, even better in frame rate stability and heat sensation.

camera

Although the module design set is the best commemorative version of Xiaomi 10, the camera hardware is still the standard version of Xiaomi 10, with 100 million pixels, supporting optical anti shake HMX main camera, 16 million pixels of ultra wide angle, 2 million macro and 2 million scene depth sub camera. Because the Snapdragon 870 uses the same set of ISP of 865, it can be said that both software and hardware levels are at the level of Xiaomi 10.

Charging&external discharge and others

In terms of charging, Xiaomi 10S uses the "ancestral" 33W charging head that is used in the middle end product line, and also supports 30W wireless charging and 10W wireless reverse charging.

Wired charging starts from 1%, the first 9 minutes will output 25 to 26W, the 9th to 30th minutes will be stable at 22 to 23W, then the power will last about 20W for 44 minutes, and then the next 5 minutes will be 17W, and it will take 63 minutes to charge to 100%.

Finally, we will talk about two points about the use experience. One is the official play out. Last year, the Xiaomi 10 Pro became the "music phone" that dominated the list for a year. However, it is difficult for several flagship models launched since then to reach the level of play out. This time, the Xiaomi 10S uses the same symmetrical dual speaker design as the Xiaomi 10 Pro and the equivalent 1.2cc sound chamber of the same level. The loudness of the sound at the maximum volume is basically the same level, but there are some differences between the audio tuning and the Xiaomi 10 Pro. The Xiaomi 10S will be more plump and layered in the vocal performance.

The other is the vibration feedback. Although it is called the X-axis linear motor like the K40 Pro, when the tactile feedback is set to the highest gear, the vibration of the Xiaomi 10S is obviously more practical.

summary

The Xiaomi 10S gives me the impression that it is a new machine that combines the features of many previous generations of products - it combines the screen and most basic configurations of the Xiaomi 10, the camera design of the Xiaomi 10 Ultra, the external amplifier of the same level of the Xiaomi 10 Pro, and the SoC of the K40. From the perspective of market positioning, it is obvious that the Xiaomi 10, which is still on sale before, is replaced by a small configuration upgrade (by the way, a wave of parts inventory can be cleared).

Xiaomi 10S's actual game performance, battery capacity, vibration sense of Mata, sense of playing outside and supporting wireless charging are competitive at 3000 yuan, and its appearance and texture are also excellent. Other parameters are not particularly attractive at the same price, such as FHD+OLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate, UFS 3.0 flash memory, and 33W fast charge. Therefore, it may not be the best choice for the parameter party and the user group pursuing the ultimate cost performance ratio. However, if there are requirements for appearance design, external amplifier and wireless charging, Xiaomi 10S is also worth considering.
