Communicating experience (different evaluation perspectives may be exactly what you would like to see) Chapter One: MIMI 7-based MI Millet 5 Phone

This article was set as a series of articles. In fact, there were three mobile phones before. There was no series of articles at the time, and now it was not added. The way I measure mobile phones is not the same as regular evaluation. At least I I don't think it's boring because I'm concerned about the details that most people pay attention to . Of course, everyone's specific concern is still different, especially the bottom line.

This is the order on June 3, and the black high with Xiaomi 5 received on the 9th. While delaying the experience, I finally waited until the official version of MIUI 8 push update, so I think it is time to write MIUI 7 and black high with millet 5 evaluation. To tell the truth, this "big move" has been a bit long-ah, so what's the reason? . .

First insert a card, so Xiaobian rejected the article as:


The appearance of the phone configuration can refer to the link, in addition to the previous few days dropped 200 , just enough to buy an accident insurance in the millet official website, this dual glass mobile phone, accident insurance is necessary to buy ...

Well the first is the unpacking section:

Buy a 1 dollar thin (004) protective cover, but too affect the feel, decisively eat gray, mobile phone naked to know to set a plastic mobile phone sets after the back of the phone is equivalent to plastic ah, Tucao for so many years after Samsung plastic cover, I may not want to become a plastic glass, the screen is the same reason, after the film feel and brightness (no matter how good glass film) screen design are not the phone itself, millet to know that 5 out of the 16 positive LED Lights, this is one of the "black technologies" of the rice factory. . . (So ​​it's necessary to say that accident insurance is necessary from the outset.) Of course, if you buy this mobile phone, you just sell it and sell it. If you want to get a good price and sell it at a good price, you'll need to fully arm your mobile phone.

Then put a few phone out of the box photos:

The above photos were taken by a nut phone. At the end of the review of Glory 6, I mentioned my own expectations for mobile phones:

Price 2000 miles, simple appearance, memory (RAM) 2G and above, ROM 32G, system easy to use (primary consideration, critical), communication function no problem (bottom line), fingerprint unlocking is best (this condition can be compromised) . As for CPUs, screens, cameras, etc., I think the current hardware configuration is good enough. I don't play big games and the requirements for photos are not so elaborate, so the mainstream machines sold on the market (from 499 to 2999) have these hardware conditions. can satisfy. So the alternative phones are: nuts, millet (red rice), Meizu (charm blue). The three systems should be good enough today.

After buying the nuts according to the above demand, it was found that the screen must be around 5 inches, and it is uncomfortable for the user to use the large screen.

So it is


There are various expectations for Xiaomi 5. Then Xiaomi 5 was released and basically met expectations. Several hard demands were met. In particular, the use of nuts after the phone is more demanding on the size. At first, I think that if 5.15 exceeds 5 inches, it will not be a bit big, but the mobile phone technology is improved and the data proves that it is not larger than the 5-inch mobile phone:

Nut phone size: 152.9x76.9x9
Millet 4 size : 139.2x68.5x8.9
Apple 6 size : 138.1x67.0x6.9
Millet 4S size : 139.26x70.76x7.8
Millet 5 size : 144.55x69.2x7.25
Lumia720 Size: 127.9×67.5×9
Glory 6 size : 139. 6x 69.7 x 7.5
Glory 7 Size : 143.2 x 71.9 x 8.5


Determine the focus of the phone grip is the width and thickness , so compare the parameters still choose the width of the meter closer to 5 meters 5, while a thinner body and full arc design will bring better grip than the millet 4 sense. At the same time, what surprises me is that the larger screen width of Xiaomi 5 is even smaller than that of 4s. So, the mobile phone positioning is higher and the process is much better.
It is worth mentioning that the thickness factor that affects the grip is not the overall thickness of the back, but the thickness of the two sides of the phone (thinner), and the middle of the back can be raised, which makes it more practical to hold. The hand feels better, and the internal space of the mobile phone is larger and more batteries can be stacked. The parameters of the thickness of the phone are taken from the thickest part, so the grip of the millet 5 feels thinner in the hand than the iPhone 6, although the parameters are apple is thinner. Because the Apple 6 rear cover is flat (of course, the camera is the only bulge), the grip is not so beautiful (I think). All in all, nothing is thick, and the proper thickness will give you a feeling of fullness that will fit your palm more closely, and the iPhone 6 will be too thin and the grip will not be substantial.

In fact, in an item experience, I can read out my concept and even three views . I would like to ask your friends to point out that my three views are not correct.

Whether the cell phone is good or not, my standard is to use it. Of course, maybe it will not be very good to use a better mobile phone until it turns out that the original mobile phone that you don't feel comfortable with. Many good and bad things are reflected through comparison .

For example, I have always felt that the plastic back cover of a nut phone is good, light and resistant to fall and not afraid of bumping. I don't like changing one and not expensive. The metal back cover I personally don't like, I feel like Charm Blue 3 The plastic back cover is fine. However, after the change of millet 5, the 3D glass's rounded touch ... comfortable, and then back to the nut phone, instantly feel a word: rough! Can not imagine how good the ceramic back cover feels.

Then talk about my trivial play experience:

In fact, the playability of a mobile phone is mainly reflected in the settings. The first thing I get for a mobile phone is to open the settings, one by one. The software version is MIUI 7.3 when it comes to hand. I have been busy at work, I have not tossed my mobile phone, and I am afraid that my mobile phone will not receive important calls. Therefore, I will not use the stable version of the development system.

Wechat chat message reply function , two mobile phones through the wireless network connection, all the chat records into the new phone, this feature should be used by many people, is the internal function of WeChat software ~

At the beginning , the wifi disconnection occurred when the screen was turned off for a long period of time. At that time, the connection for keeping the screen was set, but the problem was not found later.

Appearance . The curvature of the back cover 3d glass and metal frame is the same, the volume key side transition is relatively smooth, and the side of the card slot glass is slightly higher than the metal frame, touch the past from the metal frame to the glass back cover touch the cut feel more obvious, be regarded as This is a question of quality control . As shown below:

There are two symmetrical dividing lines at the top and bottom of the phone. It looks a bit like bumping from the front. It's a little scary to see a few times. The mutation of the frame material makes people feel very divided. The line is more profound experience hammer T2 frameless valuable. As shown below:

In addition, the back cover of the glass is really slippery and slippery . If it is in a slightly less horizontal place, it will surely slide down. . .

Fingerprint recognition is fast, but it does not reach the point of no sense . It can feel the finger's stay in the fingerprint area and can't be recognized by quickly removing the finger like touching an ordinary capacitive button. Looking forward to the solution of sonic fingerprinting.

In my days of using fingerprints, I felt that it was not so convenient. When the center of the finger pressed the fingerprint area, the recognition rate was high. If the finger is pressed vertically (finger can not completely cover the fingerprint recognition area), this will basically identify the failure. Millet's long stripe fingerprint recognition is actually inhuman : Apple's mobile phone is round , normal finger No matter whether it is pressed horizontally or vertically, the Meizu is a waist circle . The way the finger touches is also a positive guide . The millet is a slender stripe and the fingerprint recognition area is raised , making people want to use the top of the thumb. Part of the press, but this press is not unlockable. There is still a bit of chicken thief is so big, but choose slender fingerprint module, people's Samsung mobile phone is a small chin, can not put a big use of this ... this bad behavior comparable to the large black side of the white rice 5 And Google phones use the keys to enter the screen for "high-screen ratios" (because in most scenarios, the phone's chin actually looks like a virtual button in a narrow chinpag screen, an unparalleled double chin). There is a mobile phone (LG or MOTO) is really no chin, this time doing the virtual button on the screen is a natural result.

Screen width is moderate, but the length is a bit too long (big chin), one-handed pull-down notification bar is not very convenient. The drop-out notification bar at any location is limited to the desktop and cannot be implemented in the application. Therefore, it is inconvenient to check notifications in some scenarios. With regard to the inconvenience of the long screen, there is one more point below.

One-handed operation optimization. Feel not as good as the hammer pull down hover, millet from the home button to draw on both sides of the operation, on the one hand, easily misidentified as the home operation, and the home of the meter 5 is the entity key, higher than other regions, pull from the middle is not smooth, More easily misidentified, one-handed operation optimization experience is not as good as other millet phones. Another inconvenience is that these operations are at the bottom of the screen. For a longer mobile phone, the top and bottom of the single-handed operation screen should not be high-frequency operation .

I noticed that in the key setting , only three optional functions for long-pressing the three function keys (see the figure below) actually have more options , including the function of short-pressing the menu key. For example, start one-handed mode, such as the outgoing notification bar.


Here are some useful little features of the camera :

Bokeh , put the things you need to shoot in the middle, code around. Clear location and optional location, adjustable size.

Mosaic , coded in the middle, clear around, used to block the key parts, and the coding area is optional, the size is adjustable.

In the street shooting mode , in the camera settings, you can turn off the camera sound and turn on the street shooting mode. Pressing and holding down the screen for a long time can reduce the volume continuously, and it does not light the screen. In fact , it is a candid shooting function. Settings are shown in the figure below:

Press the key "Health" . Seeing that some people in the jar are reluctant to press the home button , I would like to find other ways to light up the screen without having to press buttons. I have a method that is not convenient enough but does not need to press the key: In the settings, display, double-click to wake up (see the figure below) . This can double-click to light up the screen and then use fingerprinting to enter. In fact, the life of the button should be higher than most other components of the CPU or mobile phone, and there is no need to add a block to the province.


In terms of battery power, it is close to the capacity of a mobile phone battery with nuts, but it is obviously used for a longer period of time. Fast charging is really fast and convenient. The battery value is very realistic in terms of experience, and it will not suddenly and rapidly power down when the battery is low. It is only because of the type-c reason that you need to carry your data cable with you. After switching to a mobile phone, there is no inconvenience caused by insufficient battery power , but nuts often have ... Of course, this is related to my habit of being light and simple without a bag without a mobile power supply, but mobile power is only the development of the battery to become the development of the entire hardware industry. In the transition period of the main short-circuit plan , one day, smart hardware (especially mobile phones) will get rid of the curse of a full day, and may not need to recharge in one week, one month or even several years. I firmly believe that this will happen.

In terms of signal , before the nut phone was connected to the 4G network in some places, Xiaomi 5 could be in the same place. However, Millet 5 still can't use the traffic to access the internet as I did before with Glory 6 (mobile single card version).

Brightness . Brightness is enough, you can see very clearly in the hot sun (for me, as long as we reach this point, 16 LED lights or 14 are not so important to me, after all, technology is just a way to achieve human needs ...the crossroads of technology and humanities...). However, MIUI brightness adjustment mode is not simply to increase or decrease the brightness, but through algorithm optimization, the official promotion of this feature, individuals do not like it, this mode, the screen looks very real, the edge of the word becomes sharper Comfortable. In the past few days of my use, there has been an occasional problem of darkening the screen (the brightness sensor is not covered and the surroundings are not dark). It may be the brightness sensor's error.

About fever . During the charging, the upper part of the mobile phone has serious fever, and there is no sense in daily use (mainly there are no large-scale games, etc.). Often cleaning the background should help reduce fever.

About suspended ball (this is written in the next MIUI 8, although 7 has already used this function).

About the phenomenon of cell phone memory less and less. Speaking of memory, first to say aside, my hand millet 5 with 3G memory, the memory available is half, probably 1.5G. I was still smooth when I opened 20 apps behind the scenes. I didn't get stuck.

Next, it is said that the use of memory is becoming less and less: this phenomenon is not shut down by everyone with smart phones. Because there are flight modes, there is no need to shut down, but we have not encountered this situation. , no matter how clear the memory, the remaining available memory is still smaller? I thought at first that it was caused by too many application installations, but the role of memory (RAM) is not to store the running program. Why can't I clear it? An accidental shutdown restart, let me realize that there are some unnecessary system-level daemons, and the application of the basic services (such as clear WeChat daemon, you can still receive information) will use memory, this use ordinary clear memory The solution is not clear. So if you find that for some time you find that the available memory is low and you are panicked, restart your phone! (Actually, many intelligent routers have a free-time restart feature in their settings, in order to completely free up memory for normal operation.)

After writing it, I was surprised to discover that I used text to express my own thoughts through the experience of the mobile phone. Welcome to dispute, welcome to the older drivers who are more professional in the mobile phone circle. I have limited knowledge and there are some misunderstandings.

Finally put a few more millet 5

as well as. . . This one:

As of press time, 1071 days have been signed, and 23 cards are too lazy to use. . .

In the next MIUI 8 evaluation, I will fill out the pit in this article, exchange the experience of playing in Aunt Zhang, by the way for everyone to analyze the truth of the phone can not buy millet ~ please look forward to ~
