Detailed evaluation Xiaomi Mi 6
DESIGN
Although not much changed from the design language of his predecessor Mi 5, Xiaomi Mi 6 achieved the perfection needed for a flagship, with its front covered by a curved glass. 2.5D, 4 corners are softly rounded, these are minor upgrades but extremely worthwhile. Another point is that Xiaomi made better products when the metal frame around the machine not only polished luxury but also much stronger than its predecessor, Youtube channel JerryRigEverything has tested the durability Mi 6 and The machine is not broken easily like the Mi 5.At 5.15 inches, this is a really lightweight flagship, but the palm rest is a bit heavy compared to the current trend of making smartphones increasingly thin at the moment, black borders on both sides. The screen is made quite thin, not as thick as the Mi 5, the bottom is the touchpad is made large, integrated fingerprint sensor ultra precision 10/10 almost without any discomfort when using. it. Fineness is also very high, like a dashboard molded down from the mold, without any connection. The two sides are the familiar navigation keys of Android, equipped with backlight but not to force users to have time to get acquainted.
Above is the 8 MP selfie camera and LED notification, but can not customize the color as on the previous Xiaomi smartphone.
The stainless steel frame is almost seamless with the back of the glass is curved on all four sides, no ripple when swiping from the border to the screen. However, on the side of the contact point with the back of the back slightly slight, almost every Mi 6 have this condition. The back also left a lot of fingerprints after a period of use, besides the sweaty person who holds the device for a long time is very easy to slip, Xiaomi had anticipated this and gave it to people. Have a silicon case in the box, just overcome all the errors but the luxury design is still. If placed on the balance table, Mi 6 does not draw fingerprints as fast as the Galaxy S8.
The left side is the SIM tray supporting only 2 nano - SIM, this is also a minus point in the design when the SIM tray of the Mi 6 is not completely flat compared to the border that is slightly rippled, when the swipe will Get out now. The edge must put all the hard keys of the machine, the feeling is very good press with the volume up / down buttons set quite high, operation is relatively difficult.
The point worth mentioning is that the Xiaomi Mi 6 is equipped with water resistance, but the index has not been confirmed, one thing you have to know that the waterproof phone will not be like waterproof phone, in other words you Unable to immerse Mi 6 like other flagship standards IP 68 or 67.
One of the nicest things on Xiaomi's latest flagship is the 12MP dual-camera camera, with a dynamic lens and a telephoto lens for twice the zoom and better portraiture with effects. boked. The main camera will have a f / 1.8 aperture lens, 4-axis OIS shake and dual LED flash. The camera and flash are almost flat compared to the dorsal surface without being scratched a bit, so scratching the body during the use is very unlikely.
The top side is a built-in microphone and IR blaster port that allows you to control devices such as TVs, air conditioners, etc.
Xiaomi Mi 6 has a good speakerphone sound quality, loud volume, bass not so bad in the smartphone world. It is equipped with stereo technology with a speaker at the bottom and speaker phone speaker also speakers when watching movies, listening to music or playing games.
But what I do not like is that the 6 has eliminated 3.5mm headphone jack, although this is the current trend. However, when looking at the big men like Samsung, LG seems to be quite hurried. Gold with this change of his. Anyway, the quality of the audio through USB Type-C is very good, no distortion, large volume.
SCREEN
In terms of resolution, FullHD seems to be pretty much inferior to other flagship phones on the market today, but at 5.15 inches, the pixel density is still up to 428ppi. There is no doubt that the VR experience will not be as great as the smartphones of up to QuadHD 1440p resolution.
With IPS LCD panel, Mi 6 for good viewing angle, high contrast, no glare when used in bright sunlight, color display honestly do not see the error. It seems that with the flagship at the time of the appearance of all the manufacturers, we have nothing to blame on the ability to show anymore.
The minimal screen brightness of a single-nits machine makes it easy to use the device at night without the eye strain. Besides, the familiar Reading mode on Xiaomi devices recently has something to do with this device. Remove this shortcut shortcut on the status bar.
BATTERY LIFE
Xiaomi Mi 6 has a 3350mAh battery capacity in a rather small body, which is also an upgrade point compared to its predecessor Mi 5. With the FullHD screen only, The battery of this flagship has nothing to blame.
With integrated tasks, such as surfing the web, facebook, watching Youtube and playing some titles like CF Legends with 100% wifi, the machine stayed for 5 hours and a half onscreen. If you use a network service such as 3G or 4G, this number will be around 4 hours. Enough for you to use in a day.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 features Quick Charge 3.0 technology, which comes with a built-in charger that can reach anywhere from 0% to 100% in just under an hour and a half.
SOFTWARE
Like all of Xiaomi's recent launches, the Mi 6 uses the MIUI 8 interface, based on the Android 7.1.1 Nougat platform. However, the software is always a weakness of the Xiaomi device, because although it has been up to Android 7 but the features such as multitasking window, change the display size is absolutely no.
Other smart features like Dual Apps - using two parallel apps, Second Space using two user interfaces at the same time, locking the app, changing themes, etc. are all features. Since Xiaomi Mi 5s without any changes or upgrades.
At present, Mi 6 has a ROM in Vietnamese, when you buy the machine you should ask the installation immediately, because if using ROM in China will not be available Play Store and other services, especially It also has a pretty nasty font bug in some apps like Facebook.
PERFORMANCE
On this issue is not the table, Xiaomi Mi 6 is a monster in the Android world at the present time. If for Mi 5 we are divided into different configurations, in Vietnam market is mostly low-end machines, besides at that time Xiaomi do software is not good, I do not know how to optimize the microprocessor, which leads to not being able to take advantage of the heavy weight, typically the Mi 5s own the Snapdragon 821 chip but has a slower load speed than the flagship model with the Snapdragon processor 820.
However, this time, with a Snapdragon 835 clocked at maximum clock speed, 6GB of RAM, and UFS 2.1 memory, all day-to-day use of the device can be difficult to accomplish from simple tasks to gaming. Weight is all very smooth, I use the machine continuously for 2 to 3 days without lag or jerky. It seems Xiaomi knows how to take advantage of the configuration of the machine to deliver a truly superior performance when compared to all other flagships available on the market today.
It can be said almost every rank in the Mi 6 only to be defeated iPhone 7 Plus only.
On the multitasking capabilities, the 6GB of the Mi 6 I do not feel satisfied if the normal operation of the machine works very well, but when playing a few titles, the situation immediately have to reload, it seems. as Xiaomi has deliberately done so that the device can work smoother for a long time.
CAMERA
Xiaomi Mi 6 owns a dual-camera 12-megapixel camera, which includes a conventional camera with a f / 1.8 aperture, 27mm focal length, 4-axis OIS anti-shake. A narrow angle camera, f / 2.6 aperture, 52mm focal length.
With a flagship model like the Mi 6, there are not too many things to consider when shooting in bright enough conditions, the water gives true image, high detail, color is not changed. The camera of the Mi 6 allows us to 2x optical zoom with the telephoto lens, when the zoom on the quality of the image will not change the details are still very good, is superior to the normal camera when taking objects in far. However, we are very susceptible to hand shake, especially in low light conditions, so you should hold hands if you want to capture the 2x optical zoom of the Mi 6.
In low light conditions, the camera of the Mi 6 met the focus is quite difficult, you have to touch the focus several times so that the camera can accurately identify the subject and at the same time continuous shooting, image quality will Better not be too much noise, fine details. But if you want to compare the Galaxy S8 to the Mi 6 is not yet rivals.
What about the ability to capture deleted fonts? In terms of specifications, the Mi 6's camera is almost identical to the iPhone 7 Plus, and the capture interface does not have much of a difference as it's easy to turn it on with just one shortcut. It also suggested that the distance between the camera and the object about 2 meters apart will give a beautiful picture. However, with the iPhone 7 Plus, the photographer must meet the needs of the machine as the environment is not too dark, not too close, not too far, but Mi 6 will be comfortable for you to create. , but for those who do not know how to take photos, it takes a while to get acquainted with the most beautiful photos.
As for image quality, once again Mi 6 is the same with the iPhone 7 Plus, the image deleted in the light enough to be quite good, the subject highlights the surrounding objects, not deleted mistakenly. But when the zoom is rubbed back, we still see the object is erased a little bit in small details, or in poor lighting conditions, the picture quality is quite poor when the noise is heavy. For people, the skin is slightly broken, not as bright as the actual.
The ability to capture Mi 6's bokeh is also very good
The selfie of the Xiaomi phones in bright enough conditions is very good, the image is sharp, the facial features clearly show no excessive facial skin, bright skin, vitality. However, when shooting in low light conditions are different, the image details are reduced to count and noise is quite heavy
Conclusion
To say that Xiaomi Mi 6 is a complete flagship performance, design software is somewhat offside. Because the ability of the Mi 6 is just finishing at a higher level than Mi 5, the software is too boring without the necessary upgrades. However, in the price of 10 million, the machine has a too good configuration is almost unrivaled when compared with the more expensive flagship more than double, at the moment the Mi 6 officially reserved Known as "flagship killer" from the smartphone of OnePlus. Next to it is a camera cluster capable of capturing trendy erasers, good battery life, gorgeous screen.
Obviously, Xiaomi Mi 6 is a good product in the price range at the moment that you should choose.
