After the 'winter' of 2016, Xiaomi reverted back in 2017. When you come back, you will find Xiaomi launched Xiaomi 5C, Xiaomi 6, Xiaomi Max2, Xiaomi MIX2, Xiaomi Note3, and Xiaomi 5X. It is not difficult to see that Xiaomi is becoming more 'pragmatic' than it was a few years ago. In addition to MIX2's continuing Internet technology, the other five products are performing steadily: not particularly prominent Highlights, but there is no obvious short board. Even Millet Note3 also gave up its flagship status in the past two years, turned into a full 'off the line'.  It was this change that made Xiaomi able to rise against the trend in the continuous shrinking of the entire mobile phone market, sweeping away the haze of 2017 and pulling itself back from the edge of the cliff. The time came to 18 years when everyone waited. In the new generation of digital flagships, Xiaomi used the name of the 8th Anniversary of its founding, crossed Xiaomi 7, and launched Xiaomi 8. What exactly is the flagship of this 'crossing time'? Let's take a look at the evaluation. Apply a very popular saying: Xiaomi 8 uses the most popular 'Liu Haiping'  Although the Internet is still controversial about Liu Haiping's beauty and ugliness, it is undeniable that since the release of the iPhone X in the past half year, all kinds of 'Liu Haiping' flagships have already affected everyone's aesthetic costs. Drop to a higher threshold. So for Xiaomi 8, Liu Haiping is no exception. 6.21 inches 18.7:9 Samsung AMOLED screen, model ea8074, resolution of 2248 * 1080P, maximum brightness of 600Nits, and P20 Pro peak brightness is quite, for a AMOLED screen is a good performance. Of course, this is the flagship of millet Once on the Samsung AMOLED screen (think of the millet Note2, it was destroyed on a LG PMOLED).   The millet 8 screen defaults to the DIC-P3 color gamut, and no other color gamut options are given in the system. Only when the smart environment adapts, the color temperature of the screen can be adjusted. In the screen enhancement, the standard mode can only be used by default. Color temperature. In addition to Xiaomi MIX2s, Xiaomi 8 AM OLED screen has a slight improvement in the smear problem. Wide bangs, long chin  Compared to Huawei P20 Pro, Xiaomi 8 has a lot of 'Notch' area. The reason is because Xiaomi 8 has unlocked the front camera in the Notch area to support infrared face unlocking. Distance sensor, earpiece, infrared illumination Components and Infrared Cameras, At this stage, the most components are in the Notch area.  In fact, the ordinary 2D face unlocking is based on the front camera capturing the user image, and then the next time the user is unlocked, the front camera is used to identify the user in front of the mobile phone, and unlocked through comparison, relying on software algorithms. The Xiaomi 8 is When unlocked, the near-infrared light with a wavelength of about 940 nm is emitted by the infrared lighting element and shines on the user's face, and the infrared light reflected and reflected by the infrared camera is imaged to complete unlocking.  Because near-infrared light has different reflection characteristics for different objects such as photographs, screens, etc. For example, if a photo is used to unlock the millet 8, the infrared camera captures only a blank space in front of the mobile phone, and no picture appears. Therefore, the infrared unlocking of the millet 8 Also has some biological detection function (but did not achieve the level of financial payments). In addition, infrared lighting components can be used to fill light in a completely dark environment. Therefore, millet 8 can still be normally unlocked in a dark environment. 
▲A plus 6 and Xiaomi 8 contrast If the saying "bangs" is inexplicably painful on the overall screen, then the "chin" screen ratio is an obstacle that can't be surpassed by the Android phone using COF packaging technology. However, even COF package, in contrast, seems to Xiaomi 8's chin is slightly more obvious. Familiar body back, familiar vertical double camera  From Xiaomi Note, it seems that Xiaomi likes to make a relatively large curvature on the back of his body. At Xiaomi 6, the back of the four-curved glass is called Xiaomi's “7-year process peak”. On Xiaomi 8, Continuation of this design. The back four corners of the arc design have a kind of 'round sense' similar to the surface tension of water droplets. This kind of design inheritance makes Xiaomi users have a familiar immediately when they start a new mobile phone. feel.  Millet 8 uses a 7-series aluminum metal frame. Compared to the stainless steel frame, the 7 Series aluminum has a relatively smaller hardness, greater elasticity, lighter weight, and easier coloring. The body with the same color as the millet 8 makes glass and metal. Visually easier to match. And millet 8 glass and metal work in the convergence, is also the best one in recent millet mobile phone. Analogy, Millet 8 feel close to Samsung Note8.  It is not just the back curvature, but also the vertical double shots. This year's red rice Note5, millet MIX2S, millet 6X, red rice S2 four products, all with vertical double-camera design. So in the millet 8 It is no surprise that we continue to use this design. Other details From the design, 'Liu Haiping' can not only carry a set of unlocking system, but also can greatly increase the screen occupation ratio. Let the mobile phone screen can display more information. The screen proportion of Xiaomi 8 is 86.88% , For a Liu Haiping phone, can only be regarded as the average level.   Of course, if you don't like Liu Haiping, MIUI 10 also provides the operation to switch back to the traditional status bar.  Millet 8 screen size is 6.21, but the body size does not look so "domineering" screen. 74.79mm body width even slightly narrower than the iPhone 8 Plus, and 7.6mm body thickness and iPhone 8 Plus is basically the same, The weight is 30g lighter than the iPhone 8 Plus. In other words, the 6.21-inch Xiaomi 8 has almost the same level as the traditional 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus on the three data that most affect the grip. Two regrets: 1. Xiaomi 8 canceled the infrared remote control that has been insisting for many years. This has to be said to be a very big regret. After all, only one mobile phone can control all kinds of household appliances. It is very convenient for users to actually use it. 2. Xiaomi 8 does not support wireless charging. This point does make us more accidental. MIX2S released at the beginning of the year all support wireless charging. The flagship machine does not support wireless charging. This is exactly what we did not think of before.
MIUI 10: Born to Full Screen Also unveiled with Xiaomi 8 is MIUI 10. The evaluation machine in our hands has taken the lead in brushing the beta version. The version number is MIUI 10.8.5.27. After experiencing it, there are mainly three points to share with you. Intuitive design that can be clearly perceived change  If you're a MIUI 9 user, you won't feel strange when you first get started, and you even have a question in your mind at a certain time: Is this really MIUI 10? Indeed, MIUI 10's design language is consistent with MIUI 9, the main interface. It is still a bright color with a simple geometric color, In addition to the new wallpaper design, it is difficult to find obvious differences.  However, when you operate it, you will find that MIUI 10 is very different. The first is the UI design optimized for the overall screen. MIUI 10 has redesigned the volume adjustment interface and the drop-down notification bar. The interface elements are rounded to fit the full screen circle. Corner cutting, the adjustment bar touch area has been enlarged, the brightness can be adjusted by sliding anywhere in the adjustment bar, which greatly facilitates the touch operation.  At the same time, in order to reflect the advantages of the full-screen display content, the multi-task interface of MIUI 10 is also changed to the form of vertical waterfall flow. A single page can present up to 4 recent tasks. Compared with the past 3, the horizontal bookmark efficiency is also not fully displayed. High. Under the new page, swipe left or right to delete the task and long press to call out the secondary menu option.  In addition, the MIUI 10 improves the existing gesture operations, and returns the home page to the upper slide, hovering and multi-tasking on the original slide, and the left and right edges are slid inwardly on the basis of the left and right edges. To help the user quickly switch between the two most recent tasks. If used skillfully, the operating efficiency will increase a lot. Compared with other manufacturers' full-screen gestures, the MIUI 10's interaction logic is very mature. With natural dynamic effects and vibration feedback, it restores some of the “features of confirmation” that can be experienced on physical buttons in the past. Any discomfort. AI Blessing, Smarter "Little Love Student" The extensive use of AI is also a major upgrade of MIUI 10. The most direct manifestation is the intelligent AI voice assistant “Little Love Classmates.” In addition to the existing wake-up of voice, HOME key/power key wake-up, etc., MIUI 10 information The assistant page (negative screen) also adds the "Little Love Student" button. Click to quickly exhale. Functionally, in addition to checking weather, checking routes, setting reminders and to-do items, setting alarm clocks, voice search songs and other system-level commonly used functions, “Little Love Student” supports more third-party applications and operations, and can include several continuous operations. Complex instructions for operation.  For example, “Little Love Classmates, Jingdong Signing to Lead Jingdou”, “Little Love” will open the Jingdong App, jump to the personal homepage, sign in the page, sign in to the Jingdou Peas, and there will be no manual assistance throughout the process. “Little Love” In one go, this complex operation of "Lian Wool" instantly became "a matter of one sentence." What's more interesting is that “Little Love” supports personal training and customization. You can teach little love through “Little Love Screening Teaching” and let her learn common operations so that you can make specific responses to specific orders. The “Little Love Student” that is more in line with your habits. We also learned that "Little Love" has 23 applications for third-party applications, including WeChat, Weibo, NetEase Cloud Music, Tencent Video, Gaode Map, Mobile Taobao, Jingdong, Alipay, etc. Basic to meet daily needs. In addition to the most direct embodiment of AI applications such as voice assistant, MIUI 10 still hides many AIs. In terms of system experience, MIUI 10 adds AI preloading features. Based on machine learning, MIUI10 can better understand the user's behavior and behavior. , and based on this to the user to make a certain behavior pre-judgment, so as to pre-schedule CPU, GPU, storage and other system resources, a certain probability to achieve the effect of the application of seconds. The reason for emphasizing a certain probability is actually taking into account that machine learning requires a certain amount of time for data accumulation, which is not possible at first. In addition, due to human complexity, there is a certain error in the prediction of the system. Specific Scene Experience Optimization: Driving, Smart Home  For driving scenarios, MIUI 10 has added a driving mode. This mode can be understood as a scenario extension for the “Little Lovers” app. In driving mode, tapping on the screen wakes up the voice assistant “Little Love Classmates” based on voice interaction. Conveniently operate navigation, send and receive micro-channels, receive calls and listen to radio music, significantly reducing hand operation, taking into account the driving safety.  For smart homes, the MIUI 10 has also been optimized, such as actively scanning smart devices, automatically popping up windows for 'adding devices', and adding smart home cards to the information assistant to facilitate quick and easy management of frequently used smart hardware devices.
Taking pictures In Xiaomi MIX 2S, which has already been released, Xiaomi started from both hard and soft, bringing with it many positive improvement measures. Its imaging level has also received more recognition. In the DxOMark list, it also harvested a static camera score of 101 points. Good results. This millet 8 continues the wide-angle + telephoto dual-camera solution that was extremely successful on MIX 2S. The wide-angle main camera adopts the Sony IMX363 sensor, which has a 12-megapixel output and a single pixel area of 1.4μm. It also supports 2PD. Full-pixel dual-core focusing, with F1.8 large aperture and four-axis optical image stabilization. The sub-camera has 12 million pixel output, F2.4 aperture, and is enabled in double zoom and portrait modes. At the same time, based on the AI Engine provided by the Xiaolong 845 mobile platform, Xiaomi 8 follows the AI scene camera function, which can automatically identify the subjects in the viewfinder and make specific styles and parameter settings during imaging to improve the final film. Effect. According to the data eradicated by Xiaomi, Xiaomi 8 currently supports 25 kinds of labels, up to 206 kinds of scene recognition, involving a variety of weather, scenery, plants, people and animal shooting scenes, can fully meet the daily shooting needs. With the continuous tuning of millet at the algorithm level, the imaging power of this dual-camera scheme has also been further explored. Let's look at the proofs below.      In the daytime environment, the color of Xiaomi 8 is vivid and vivid. The macro scene and backlit scene have a good performance, which is basically consistent with the level of other flagship products.  Under the night scene, thanks to the combination of large pixel and optical image stabilization, the light volume of the Xiaomi 8 is even more assured, and the brightness and purity of the screen are also better. At the same time, based on the multi-frame synthesis processing, the screen of the Xiaomi 8 has good tolerance and high light. Both the dark and the dark.  If zoomed in, Xiaomi 8's ancestral smear feels a lot less, details are more refined. Experience, equipped with a 2PD full-pixel dual-core focusing millet 8 is good enough, focusing faster and more accurate, less pull drag bellows drag.  In the portrait mode, Xiaomi 8 has relatively accurate recognition of the subject's edges, the effect of background blurring is relatively natural, and the sense of hierarchy of the picture is strong, and it is at the mainstream level. Overall, the imaging performance of Xiaomi 8 was a pleasant surprise. The short film of Xiaomi’s digital flagship was taken and the first echelon was taken.
Hardware Configuration: Xiaolong 845+ Multi-function NFC+ Dual GPS  As Xiaomi's 8th Anniversary flagship, Xiaomi in the hardware configuration unexpectedly did not give a very 'fever' configuration. The configuration of the Xiaolong 845+6GB RAM can only be regarded as an average level in the current Android flagship. 2X2 MIMO dual Wif, Bluetooth 5.0, full Netcom 5.0 these with 845 comes with a spree is not a small.  In the system scheduling, the full-blooded Xiaolong 845 has become the system, the smoothness of the game's 'exempt product'. The security Bunny runs close to 270,000, the normal level of Xiaolong 845. Multi-functional NFC: able to read, write, simulate  As early as 2013, when Xiaomi 2A was adopted, Xiaomi took an NFC chip. At that time, he also needed to go to an operator to run an NFC-enabled SIM card, so that the “black technology” of mobile phones could be implemented. Now, there are More than ten types of millet phones, including Xiaomi 8, are equipped with multi-functional NFC, which is simple to read, write, and simulate. Can read: Can read bus card information via mobile phone, such as balance; Can write: You can recharge your bus card through your mobile phone; Can simulate: The multi-functional NFC equipped with Xiaomi 8 can simulate the use of public transportation cards, bank cards, and access control cards. Bus and bank cards are believed to be familiar to everyone. The multi-functional NFC of Xiaomi 8 can be an unencrypted physical card with a frequency band of 13.56MHz. Simulated into the mobile phone, to achieve the phone instead of work cards, fitness cards, access cards. Dual-band GPS: On Xiaomi 8, there is also a black technology that must be mentioned: Dual-band GPS.  GPS is the most commonly used function on our mobile phones. It takes taxis, navigations, and WeChat to make a position. All of them need to be implemented through mobile GPS. GPS positioning is based on the time from the satellite to the ground receiver to determine the specific location of the mobile phone. Prior to this, the handsets only supported the (1575.42MHz) L1 single-frequency band. For single-band GPS, there are two main aspects that affect the positioning accuracy:  1. The ionosphere in the atmosphere is filled with ions and electrons under the illumination of the sun. Therefore, when the GPS signal is refracted through the ionosphere, it affects the transmission time, resulting in positioning deviation.  2. Between dense buildings, the GPS signal directly transmitted by the mobile phone will be reflected. When multiple signals are superimposed and then received by the mobile phone, the accuracy of distance calculation between the satellite and the mobile phone will be reduced. Therefore, Xiaomi 8 added a 1175.75MHz L5 band to help locate on the basis of single-frequency GPS. Since the ionosphere has different effects on the L1 and L5 frequency band signals, the dual-frequency GPS device can eliminate the error caused by the ionosphere to the GPS by comparing the delay of the two signals; and between the tall buildings, due to the L5 frequency band GPS. The signal bandwidth is 10 times that of L1. The signal waveform of the L5 band is narrower, and the direct and reflected signals are not easily superimposed. The mobile phone can more accurately identify the direct signal. To give an inappropriate example, we already know the dual-frequency routing, support 2.4GHz and 5GHz, when the 2.4GHz band becomes less stable, switch to the 5GHz band to ensure the stability of the network. to sum up: Perhaps due to the success of Xiaomi 6's bucket machine last year, Xiaomi 8 still seems to continue its product idea of the so-called 'water bucket machine'. The mainstream design and workmanship, good hardware configuration, for a full-screen generation MIUI 10 system, only from the product point of view, millet 8 can also be regarded as a water tanker, it will not make you too excited, it will not make you too disappointed.  However, if this phone only sells 2699? I can not help but think of Lei Jun's phrase: Let everyone enjoy the technology.
