Battery life reserve: Mi millet red rice Note 4X core function evaluation

I think a lot of people are paying attention to the Red Rice Note 4X because this time Xiaomi has come to the end of the Hatsune. However, as a non-secondary lover, I just simply want to have a Xiaolong 625+4100 big cell phone, after all, who does not want long-term life. Then the first shot was very easy to grab

The Redmi Note4X responded to the call for central thrifty conservation. In addition to shrinking the box again, the packaging has also become simpler. There is only a faint 4X on the front. A 3G+32G version of the sticker has been added in the upper right corner to allow users to recognize the version of the phone at a glance.


Normally, Xiao Mi's Mi logo is mainly grey and orange. This time, on the red rice Note4X packaging, it became a shiny red color, which may be a question for "red rice."

Redmi Note4X currently only provides a version of Xiao Long 625+3G+32G. I believe many people have chosen Note4X for this 14nm chip. In addition, the red rice series has been using large batteries since 3, including Note4X is no exception.


As a main cost-effective domestic thousand Yuan machine, there is no accessory except the data line, charger and card pin. This time I got a grey version.


Redmi Note4X still insisted that the Red Rice series does not support the "good tradition" of fast charging. This time the standard is a 5V/2A charging head. Although the power is the same as 10W, but compared to the past Xiaomi standard charging head is a little smaller, more convenient to carry.


The front of red rice Note4X is really ordinary can not be ordinary: Compared with red rice Note3, an increase of 2.5D arc edge glass. Whether it is the perception or feel has a certain improvement.


Since the fingerprint is unlocked by using a post-fingerprint, there are still three physical capacitor keys in front of it. It is worth mentioning that only the keys of the Red Rice Note series with 5.5-inch screen have a backlight, even if the latest red rice 4 has already sold for 999 yuan, or


After Redmi Note4X took lessons from Red Rice 4, it did not use the controversial "ID borderless" design (including silver and gold versions). According to actual measurements, the width of the black border + border is 3.75 mm. It is very touching visually with Red Mi Note3 and Charm Blue Note5. But after all, it’s still a thousand dollars, and it’s hard to come


On the back, the Redmi Note4X did not use the nanometer injection molding process of Redmi Note4, but instead used a slightly "cheap" plastic metal three-stage + T-tank process. The camera + fingerprint (O|O) design that follows a variety of models can still be seen on 4X.


This T-slot design was first used by the Meizu, and the metal in the middle of the fuselage was sandblasted, while the upper and lower end of the plastic felt worse. The transition between the two is fairly smooth, but there are obvious color differences between metal and plastic under certain lighting conditions.


Redmi Note4X's card slot is located on the left side of the phone. The card slot is a combination of metal and plastic. It is not very tight, but it will not loose after being installed. Redmi Note4X supports Micro-SIM+Nano-SIM card or TF+Nano-SIM card combination. Taking into account that most of the users have now replaced the Nano-SIM card, I think it would be better if it could be changed to a dual Nano card slot.


Although Redmi Note3 is very popular, I especially don't like Note3 to place the speaker on the back of the phone. This time, Note4X follows the trend of the times. Set the speakers at the bottom of the phone and like it! But now the Red Rice series does not have a Type-C interface, which is a bit regrettable


Although the main cost-effective, but the red rice Note4X still retains the infrared universal remote control (millet 5s crying halo in the toilet), with the APP can control the vast majority of home appliances. In addition, from this perspective, it can be seen that the border of the Redmi Note4X has changed to a rounded design and has become more straightforward.


In general, whether the red rice Note4X is design or body work, it clearly shows that this is only a thousand dollars. Less than the previous Note3 a round, the body technology and lose in the same door red rice 4 and red rice Note4. Although there is no major problem with the feel of the shot, it almost always feels like something.


This millet Note4X equipped with 13 million cameras, aperture f/2.0, support phase focus. Although Xiaomi did not mention the sensor model, but from the first batch of users to buy feedback, red rice Note4X uses two photosensitive elements: the Sony IMX258 and Samsung S5K3L8. And this is my Sony IMX258, so the following photo performance is for reference only.

The first scene, the green leaves of the safflower in the sun. Note4X's white balance performance is accurate and the colors are slightly rendered. The style of color is bright and lively, and it is very good for eyeballs. In particular, the control of color saturation is very good, bright and not overflowing, similar to the style of several millet phones I tested earlier.


The second group, a small yellow car in the sun. The color and white balance of the picture are also very reliable. Zoom in 100% to see the details, you can see the picture has a certain sharpening marks, but it is not abrupt, the details remain outstanding.


The third group is a scene of high contrast under sunlight. At this time, the white balance is slightly warmer, and the exposure is also about 1/3EV. Due to the poor lens quality, the red rice Note4X has a more serious glare; the top of the screen has a larger range of fog and contrast reduction. Zooming in to the edge of the screen to 100% can see more pronounced edge degradation. All this shows that Note4X lens quality is not high.


Finally came a night view of a group of cities. In the low-light environment, the color saturation of the red rice Note4X slightly decreases, but it still maintains a high contrast. Enlarged to 100%, the details are almost gone; fortunately, the smear of noise is more appropriate and there are no annoying smear marks. Although this image quality is not strong enough, it can fully meet the needs of recording and social sharing.

Normally, I wouldn't do a night scene test on a thousand dollar machine, but Note4X performed well during the day, and I was very curious about its night performance. The end result is indeed a surprise. The red rice Note4X's photo performance exceeds any one thousand Yuan machine I have ever used. The quality of the lens is a little bit worse, but it will be forgiven considering the cost. Again, the above photo performance only represents the Note4X version of the IMX258. With different photosensitive elements, there will be a large gap in camera performance.


Similar to the camera, the red rice Note4X screen suppliers are Tianma and BOE. I got Tianma screen. Specifications are 5.5 inches, 1080P resolution. In the default mode, the color temperature of the screen is approximately 6700K, with no apparent color cast. Red Rice Note4X also provides color temperature adjustment for different user preferences. In terms of viewing angles, there is no problem with conventional angles except for the severe whitening of the death diagonal. The most regrettable maximum brightness is only about 450 nits, and the outdoor sunlight display effect is relatively marginal.


Note4X, although this screen is far from the international giants such as JDI and Sharp, it still feels its sincerity. Looking at the colorful content, you can feel that this screen is a little more advanced than the previous Red Mobile phone. Although Tianma Ping’s reputation in the past was not very good, this time it still has to give it a good one. Unfortunately, there is no surprise in the sound quality of the speaker. It is still loud and sound quality is normal.

Overall, the red rice Note4X's audio and video performance is good, especially the screen display effect, may be the best of the thousands of machines I use. Unlike some domestic Thousand Yuan Machines (@Hawki Technology), trying to save money on the screen. However, the above screen display effect is only for Tianma screen. According to feedback from netizens, BOE screen is warmer than Tianma screen.


Starting from Red Rice 3, the Red Rice series has a large battery as standard. This time Note4X still maintains this tradition, the battery capacity is still 4100 mA. With the upgrade of the processor to the Snapdragon 625 using the 14nm process, battery life should be able to go even further.

Although there are already psychological preparations, the results are still striking. Red rice Note4X after 4 hours of daily use and 8 hours of standby, the remaining power of about 80%. Even for heavy mobile phone users, they can rest assured that they can use it for two days. If they are used lightly, it would be no problem to use them for three days.

The Redmi Note4X is the first mobile phone I tested in the 4+8 battery life test with 80% of the remaining battery power. The battery life is even stronger than the Gion M2017 with 7000 mAh battery. Thanks to the 14nm process, during the use of the Redmi Note4X, there is almost no fever even when playing games for a long time.

Compared with the strong battery life, the charging of Note4X is a bit shabby. The 4th generation red rice only supports 5V/2A charging. Measured 14% for 10 minutes, 21% for 30 minutes, and 2 hours and 40 minutes for full. Although there is no fast charge, but with the relentless life, Note4X can be "charged 5 minutes, call 5 hours." Interjection, a lot of people are curious about whether Xiaomi's mobile phone has hidden fast charging function. After testing with a professional device, I found that Millet Max supports 13W fast charging; Red Rice 4 supports QC 3.0 but the power is limited to about 11W; and Redmi Note4X does not support fast charging at all.

In conclusion, the Redmi Note4X is a mobile phone that I can feel "shocked" by Taiwan Life. For example, before the charge test, the power consumption of the mobile phone should be exhausted. However, Note4X's power is slow to drop, whether it's copying software or running the game continuously. And even if you play the game for a long time, there is almost no fever. Just still have to ask Lei Jun: When can I quickly fill up the red rice?


Redmi Note4X is still using post-fingerprint recognition, unlocking speed is not fast, about 0.4 seconds. Moreover, the recognition success rate is not high, and almost 1/3 of the probability of unlocking fails. It is estimated that it needs to be improved by subsequent system updates. In terms of fingerprint payment, there is currently only Alipay and no Wechat. However, recently Xiaomi has started cooperation with WeChat and it is estimated that it will soon be supported.


Red Mi Note4X is still equipped with MIUI 8, based on Android 6.0.1. As a new machine, there is no direct 7.0 or a little regret. However, there is no difference in functionality. For more details about MIUI 8, you can refer to my previous evaluation of millet 5:

Without S is king? Late MI millet 5 smartphone with high core function evaluation I usually rarely see a variety of conferences, a few days ago suddenly rise, saw the millet 5s conference: 29th 0:00, new starting: MI millet 5s full Netcom smart phones at 0:00 on the 29th, new starting: MI Xiaomi 5s Netcom smart phones upgraded to Xiao Long 821, all-metal body.

Because MIUI uses rapid iterative development, even if the version number does not change, it also introduces a lot of new features. Such as the Spring Festival weapon "red envelope assistant", a very powerful "automatic task", there are new features such as game acceleration and desktop assistants. All in all, which MIUI is the MIUI, but the function has become stronger again. Of course, advertising has not changed, as much as it does.

In summary, after all, it is a mobile phone equipped with MIUI. In addition to slower fingerprint unlocking, Redmi Note4X is completely qualified. The problem of fingerprints is believed to be resolved through system updates. Of course, MIUI is taking a powerful and comprehensive approach, which is somewhat bloated. Friends who like simple and refreshing may not be so appropriate.

Since the ancient red and blue out of CP, Charm Blue has always been the biggest competitor of the Red Rice series. Charm Blue's Note5 price increases on both sides are starting at 999. Charm Blue Note5 strong in the exquisite appearance and fast charge, these two are just the weaknesses of Redmi Note4X. However, the Redmi Note4X is more powerful than the Charm Blue in the battery life, screen, and photographing. So the value of charm blue wins, practical or red rice strong

For Note4, the upgrade of 4X seems to be almost meaningless: the fuselage process has regressed, and the performance has dropped slightly, in return for Xiaolong 625, which generates less heat and power. However, from another perspective, the Redmi Note4X is precisely positioned: the price of the people, the life of the skies; plus enough performance and without losing the workmanship. It can be said that it is a very standard "standby machine."

Buying advice: In addition to being a backup machine, the Redmi Note4X is also a good choice for less-budget friends. However, it needs to be emphasized again that different batches of red rice Note4X use different vendors' screens and cameras, and there are four versions of the arrangement. At present, it is recognized that the better Sony + Tianma (that is, my station). Therefore, if you decide to buy Note4X, you must be psychologically prepared for "imperfect".

Well, today's evaluation is here. Regarding Redmi Note4X, if you have any questions you want to know, welcome to communicate with me in the comments. Like my article, don't forget to like it + collect it! With better results, we will see you in the next period
