Dragon 821 blessing / large screen dual camera millet 5s Plus Reviews

IT168 The evaluation of the smart phone market, especially the domestic smart phone market, has become saturated under the rapid development of the past few years. The competition among manufacturers has become more intense, and more problems have been exposed. Accompanied by the rapid development is the serious homogeneity of mobile phone products, millet mobile phones with cost-effective fortune also face the same problem, in the competition in recent years has gradually been overtaken by their opponents, showing a slight decline, the original market The share is gradually divided and eaten.

This time in the autumn new product conference, millet 5s and millet 5s Plus brought by Xiaomi are equipped with Xiaolong 821 processor. If they are conventionally divided according to hardware performance, both are listed in the flagship. Millet 5s Plus's starting price is also higher than the millet 5s 300s, and can be considered to be positioned higher than the millet 5s. However, at the press conference, Lei Jun spent a long time explaining and propagating Xiaomi 5s. However, Xiaomi 5s Plus appeared to be less compared with the appearance time at the press conference, but it was suddenly lost by the millet 5s. .

Although similarly equipped with the latest Snapdragon 821 processor, Xiaomi 5s Plus is not equipped with ultrasonic fingerprint recognition of millet 5s, and there is no 3D Touch. In terms of naming, the two are the same series of the same generation of products, but it is difficult to see from the appearance of the relationship between the two mobile phones. In terms of appearance, Xiaomi 5s Plus is more like a combination of Xiaomi Note and Red Rice Pro. In addition, the biggest difference between Xiaomi 5s Plus and Xiaomi 5s is that the former is equipped with a color + black and white dual lens, the official propaganda main screen double shot. So what exactly is Xiaomi 5s Plus? Which user population it targets, we solve these problems through evaluation.

In the beginning of the evaluation, or first to specifically understand the millet 5s Plus hardware parameters. Millet 5s Plus uses a 5.7-inch 1080P screen equipped with Snapdragon 821 processor, equipped with 4+64GB/6+128GB memory (this is 6+128GB version). Its biggest feature is the use of 13 million pixel color + black and white dual lens.

From the hardware configuration point of view, millet 5s Plus continued millet consistent fever tradition, the overall hardware performance is undoubtedly the top of the current industry. Xiaomi 5s Plus equipped with Qualcomm Xiaolong 821 processor, Xiaolong 821 is still using Qualcomm self-developed architecture Kryo, two large core clock frequency from the previous 2.2GHz to 2.4GHz, two small core clock frequency increased from 1.6GHz to At 2.0GHz, this represents an improvement in technology that enables the CPU to increase the speed of operation without causing power consumption problems. It can provide users with a 10% shorter boot time and faster application startup speed, get a smoother screen swipe operation, and be faster at the time of application startup to get a better practical experience.

Compared to the 810-820 crossing, the Xiaolong 821 mainly focuses on releasing new features, optimizing performance, and improving existing features. Therefore, there is not much difference in the main performance from the Xiaolong 820 which we are familiar with this year. Therefore, in the hardware performance section, we do not do detailed analysis of the processor. Mainly by running the sub-data to make everyone have an intuitive impression of the performance of this phone.

In the Ann Bunny Run Test, Xiaomi 5s Plus finally scored 137895. Before the press conference, there were news that the aircraft had a maximum score of more than 160,000. Running grades will be subject to fluctuations in the ambient temperature and system usage. We do not need to worry too much about running grades. Undoubtedly, the Snapdragon 821 processor is currently the best mobile processor in the Android camp.


Millet 5s Plus at the conference as the last product appearance, the time occupied is not much, will make many users mistakenly believe that this is a millenium 5s enlarged version, it is not true, whether in the design or in a specific function configuration On the other hand, millet 5s Plus has a lot of differences compared to millet 5s. Let's look at the appearance.

Millet 5s no longer follows the slender Home button design at the bottom of the millet 5 fuselage, the new oval Home button in the visual coordination of a lot. At this point, millet 5s Plus is different from millet 5s, and millet 5s Plus still uses millet's traditional Android three-button design, which is less fresh. The front of the fuselage, millet 5s Plius also uses a 2.5D protective glass to enhance the frontal look and feel of the edge of the fuselage. Large-screen mobile phones have always given people the impression of being silly, big, stupid, and difficult to hold. The use of 2.5D glass can be said to be a necessary design element for this phone.

Since the beginning of this year, major mobile phone manufacturers have used symmetry design as a selling point on their own products, making the whole machine more concise. The millet 5s Plus top fuselage components layout does not follow the symmetrical design, a little regret. In addition, millet 5s Plus does not place a millet logo on the front of the fuselage, which is a major trend of millet phones.

Millet 5s Plus offers gold, dark gray, silver, rose gold three options, the difference is that the first three used the metal wire drawing process and after fine grinding, showing a high light texture (same as red rice Pro), and rose gold Matt texture. It should be pointed out that Millet 5s Plus does not use the CNC machining commonly used in flagship mobile phones, but a three-stage design. Due to different materials, there is a certain color difference between the upper and lower ends and the intermediate metal part.

Millet 5s Plus placed the fingerprint recognition button on the back of the camera. There has been controversy over whether fingerprint recognition keys are placed on the front or on the back, but there is no one who is more advanced. Millet 5s Plus do this, I believe because for large-screen mobile phones, back fingerprint identification keys used in the grip will be more convenient. Designing at the bottom of the fuselage will also increase the risk of falling. Millet's millet Max, this large-screen phone, also has a fingerprint recognition button on the back of the camera.

The top of the fuselage is equipped with a headset hole, noise reduction Mic and infrared transmitter. In recent days, millet released new mobile phones, infrared transmitters have become more and more standard Xiaomi mobile phone, with the system built-in millet universal remote control, can achieve control of air-conditioning, television and other home appliances, very convenient, which for The layout of Xiaomi's smart home products is particularly important.

At the bottom of the fuselage, Xiaomi 5s Plus adopts USB Type C interface. Compared with the traditional Micro USB interface, it can support larger data transmission speed and larger charging current. It has been widely used in 2016 and is the standard for the Micro USB interface. successor. At the bottom of the fuselage, there are two injection molding strips. Excessive element stacking makes the bottom of the fuselage slightly cluttered.

The above is about the analysis of the appearance of Xiaomi 5s Plus. Millet 5s Plus and millet 5, millet 5s in the ID design does not reflect any heritage, it touches on the millet Note, red rice Pro part of the design elements, looks like a combination of the two. Compared to competing products, Xiaomi 5s Plus three-piece body is also slightly less sincere, what to use, just like the simple stacking of existing technology and technology, it is enough to say it, the fact is that.



Obviously, there are more and more mobile phones equipped with dual cameras this year. At present, there are two commonly used programs, one is represented by HTC One M8. One of them is responsible for recording image information and the other is responsible for recording depth of field information. The main purpose is to highlight the effect of depth of field; one is represented by Huawei P9. , The use of color + black and white two cameras, one responsible for the color of the target being shot, one responsible for recording black and white information, the main purpose is to enhance the quality of performance. Millet 5s Plus chose the latter.

The reason why this can improve the imaging performance is that in the traditional sensor imaging process, no pixel produces a color value when the light passes through the filter, and the adjacent pixel difference must be used to calculate the missing color information. . Since the black and white lens has no filter, the amount of light entering the camera is much higher than that of the conventional camera. Therefore, in the imaging, the dynamic range of the screen can be improved and the noise can be reduced. When photographing, when the two photos are combined into one sheet, there can be more details of the reservation without affecting the color. It is also very helpful in enhancing the imaging performance in dark light conditions.

After simply analyzing the imaging principle of Xiaomi 5s Plus, we still look at the imaging performance of this phone through actual proofs. (The comparison model is iPhone 7 Plus).

In the indoor lighting environment, the contrast parameters can be found, millet 5s Plus the proofs of the ISO value is only 40, much lower than the iPhone 7 Plus proofs 437. And under such conditions, the screen brightness of Xiaomi 5s Plus is significantly higher than that of iPhone 7 Plus, and the advantages of the large amount of light entering the dual cameras are undoubtedly revealed. Due to the smaller ISO, Xiaomi 5s Plus is slightly better than the iPhone 7 Plus in terms of screen purity.

Let's look at a set of contrast proofs in an indoor lighting environment. At the beginning of this section we mentioned that the imaging principle of Xiaomi 5s Plus is to synthesize the information of the two cameras and theoretically it should be able to retain more details. However, by 100% magnification of the uniform details, it was found that the details of the Xiaomi 5s Plus were not handled as well as the iPhone 7 Plus, and the edges were blurred. The author guessed that this should be a problem with the synthesis algorithm. Xiaomi's control over this dual-lens solution still owes much of its time.

Outdoor night proofs, the focus of the "Beijing Municipal High School," a few luminous fonts. Millet 5s Plus screen brightness slightly brighter, but found through the details of the comparison, millet 5s Plus font edge blur, smearing serious. The exposure control of the light source (lightbox) that appeared in the comparison screen did not perform as well as the iPhone 7 Plus.

Because of the time, this comparison only selected the imaging performance of the two mobile phones at night and in the dark light environment (daylight proofs later comparison). Millet 5s Plus uses the advantages of dual camera, in most environments, has a higher screen brightness. However, it also clearly revealed that the ability to control dual cameras is insufficient, and algorithm optimization still lags behind. In the details of expression, exposure control, millet 5s Plus compared with the iPhone 7 Plus, completely defeated.

On the other hand, considering the majority of mobile phone photos used for social communication, the overall perception of photos is even more important. The imaging performance of Xiaomi 5s Plus can cope with the spread of social applications such as Weibo and Wechat. The iPhone 7 Plus still shows certain advantages in the perception of the screen.


In the system software section, Xiaomi 5s Plus is pre-installed with the MIUI 8 system. As a representative of the home-made and old Android UI, MIUI 8 has made deeper optimizations in terms of functionality and performance. At the press conference, MIUI 8 did not usher in a major update. In this part of the system software, we will briefly introduce the highlight features of the system.

Compared with the previous version, MIUI 8 has redesigned the UI interface of the system. For example, the notification bar can automatically change the color according to the weather. The setup menu uses native card styles, multitasking menus embed music player plug-ins, redo millet notes, tape recorders, and calculators. In addition, MIUI 8 added a lock screen pictorial function, according to the user's preferences automatically replace the lock screen wallpaper, every time you light up the screen is not the same mood. In the details of the UI, MIUI 8 has added a lot of dynamic effects, in the calendar, tape recorders, weather and other software. At the same time, MIUI 8 also uses a small Milan Pavilion font, which optimizes the details for standard Lanting fonts, enhances the unity between words and enhances the reading experience.

Special feature. A variety of rich and practical features have also been a major feature of MIUI. MIUI 8 added features such as mobile split, application splits, long screen shots, and suspended ball, and optimized in-depth experience with calculators, sweeps, and galleries . Basically it can be said that the current popular new features, MIUI 8 is also a lot. Here we introduce several major features.

The fact that a mobile phone is avatarially allows a mobile phone to have two systems at the same time, so that the split system can be used alone as a private space. After this feature is turned on, the split-out system will generate three new functions on the desktop: data migration, split settings, and switchover. In other words, after splitting, you can migrate the original system's applications, photos, documents, and records, without having to repeatedly install applications or copy files to avoid taking up extra storage space. In addition, the user can also set different lock screen passwords to choose to enter the original system or avatar system. Business people often use two mobile phones to isolate their lives and work, but it is inconvenient to carry two mobile phones with them. The MIUI 8 mobile phone split function is a good solution for such business people. .

In MIUI 8, ordinary calculators have been upgraded to full-function calculators, and millet phones alone can comfortably deal with tedious calculations in life. The initial calculation interface of the calculator is not different from the previous one, but clicking the button in the upper left corner of the page will find that the calculator incorporates practical tools such as calculating mortgages, individual taxes, provident funds, and unit conversion, and is suitable for a variety of computing scenarios. For example, the market of girls who love Haitao will pay attention to the cosmetics of Japan and South Korea. In the face of strange currency units, the price of a product cannot always be reflected in time. How much money is saved is also confusing. With Xiaomi's calculator, the exchange rate is fast and supports multiple currencies. The exchange rate is updated in a timely manner, so that Haitao will not be confused. For the majority of office workers, the calculation of payroll taxes, bonus benefits, mortgage payments, etc., has also become clear and meaningful.

Albums as the most basic application of MIUI have a direct impact on the user experience and are therefore carefully crafted on MIUI 8. In the presentation of photos, panorama images, continuous shooting pictures, and GIF animations all have individual character marks displayed. When an image is selected, the new album supports slide selection, and along with the selection, there will be a display of the number of selected photos, which is convenient for users. Further management. It is worth mentioning that the new album has added a slimming function, that is, the mobile phone retains and displays thumbnail images of a certain resolution to ensure daily browsing and social sharing, and high-quality original images are stored in the cloud, and can be downloaded when necessary. . After verification, this mode can save 90% of the storage space, which is of great practical significance to the memory tight friends.

In addition, the feature of long screenshots is believed to be no stranger to everyone, and MIUI 8 also supports long screenshots. Different from other UI's own screen capture function, MIUI 8's long screenshots can be swiped to adjust the speed and position of the long screen during the screen capture process, which is more convenient and practical. Although MIUI is not the first system UI to make a long screen shot, it can basically be said to be the best. There are also many application scenarios for this function, intercepting web pages, intercepting chats of social software (WeChat, QQ, etc.) for sharing chat content. Basically, all pages that can slide down can use the long screen capture function without having to go through several screenshots. Put it together.

Performance and security optimization. In MIUI 8's power saving mode, the system will control background activities, stop synchronization, and reduce some of the visual effects. The official said that compared to the normal mode can be extended by 2 hours of use. In terms of security, MIUI 8 has added new chained startup management that can effectively limit individual application background chained wakeups. In addition, it is worth mentioning that, MIUI 8 system has added chip-level pseudo base station SMS recognition function, through false base station SMS identification, SMS phishing website risk tips and browser URL detection in three areas, to prevent users from being falsely accused by base station SMS messages. . Today, pseudo-base station SMS fraud is becoming more and more concealed, especially for the elderly, MIUI 8's pseudo-base station SMS recognition function through multiple reminders to reduce the risk of user's property loss.

Another feature worth mentioning is that Xiaomi paid for it. Earlier this month, Xiaomi and China UnionPay officially launched Mi Pay, which became the first Chinese mobile phone manufacturer after Apple and Samsung reached cooperation with UnionPay. Millet payment also supports bank cards and public transportation cards. In the future, even if you go out, you don’t even need to bring your wallet with you. Bank cards and bus cards are all available. Xiaomi paid as many as 20 first co-operative banks to cover major domestic banks. And millet 5s Plus built-in full-featured NFC chip, support for card reading, card writing, card emulation and P2P mode.

MIUI is one of the earliest customized Android UIs in China. Rich and practical functionality has always been a major advantage of MIUI. MIUI 8 can be said to be a landmark upgrade. Whether it is the optimization of system-level applications such as photo albums or calculators, or the addition of new features such as system separation and long screenshots, it has done a very good job in terms of experience. Under the circumstance that the major mobile phone manufacturers are in hot pursuit, MIUI still has the strength and advantages that cannot be overlooked, and is still the leader of domestic Android UI.


Evaluation summary : In a comprehensive view, Xiaomi 5s Plus equipped with Xiaolong 821 processor has the current top hardware performance. From the price of 2299 yuan, it appears to be cost-effective. It is still a millennium mobile phone. The first use of black and white + color dual lens millet also added a certain degree of playability for the camera experience, image quality is remarkable. The feature-rich, easy-to-use MIUI 8 system still plays a leading role in the Android camp, and is really a big bonus for the aircraft.

However, in terms of appearance, although millet 5s Plus uses a metal wire drawing process and has been polished through multiple processes, the overall texture of the three-piece body design is far from the strength of the CNC body. It is an existing technology. With simple craftsmanship. Not only is the body technology, Xiaomi 5s Plus overall ID design mostly draws from Xiaomi Note and Red Rice Pro, lack of bright spots in the appearance, innovation and fatigue.

In addition, Xiaomi 5s Plus equipped with black and white + color dual lens to a certain extent, to enhance the camera's imaging performance, but in the actual experience also exposed the lack of dual-lens ability to control the lack of millet, software algorithm optimization is still in short supply, There is a gap between the overall imaging level and the top camera phones. If you are planning to buy this phone with dual lenses, you really need to think carefully. But in terms of the cost of the whole machine, Xiaomi 5s Plus is worth buying.
