Red rice S2, 4GB+64GB version, official website priced at 1299 yuan. Lenovo Z5, Schumann Black 6GB+64GB version, official website price of 1299 yuan. With a threshold of 1299 yuan such a thousand dollars, one has always been seen as cost The spokesperson's red rice series mainly push the product. One is the strong return of Lenovo's own mobile phone brand. Both parties seem to be menacing. So who is the king of price/performance ratio of 1,299 yuan, we may wish to analyze a wave in detail.

What needs to be explained here is that the red rice Note 5 that is the same as the Xiaolong 636 is not selected because the price of the 6GB+64GB Red Rice Note 5 has already reached 1699 yuan. If you only talk about the price/performance ratio, you will have 400 yuan in the same configuration. The price difference is destined to the Lenovo Z5 is the party that occupies the absolute advantage, and this price has already had Xiaolong 660's products to choose from.

Exterior

Generally, the contrast with the price is generally not too obvious. However, in terms of the value, it can be directly said that the Lenovo Z5 is the head of the red rice S2. The first is the difference in body texture, red rice S2 out of cost Consider using a lower-priced plastic fuselage and adding light-colored decorative strips that resemble antenna overflows at the upper and lower ends. The Lenovo Z5 uses the more popular aluminum alloy frame + duplex 2.5D for this year's high-end models. 5. The design of Corning Gorilla Glass is clearly superior in appearance.

In the case of a thousand yuan price, in general, plastic mobile phones will be better handled because of the strong plasticity of plastics, but first, the display panel of red rice S2 is higher than the fuselage, even if there are Plastic edge transition, edge position or there will be a clear sense of scratching, Second, the details of the Lenovo Z5 polishing really did a lot of effort, the convergence of the transition of various materials are very smooth.

Feel

In addition to the details mentioned above, there is also a very important factor is the size of the body. Red rice S2 screen 5.99 inches, measurements 160.73*77.26*8.1mm, weight 169.6g, compared with Yes, the Lenovo Z5 screen 6.2 inches, measurements 153 * 75.65 * 7.85mm, 164.4g. Weight will not say, a few grams of the gap is very small, but the larger screen size but has a more compact shape, grip feeling Lenovo Z5 has an advantage.

The excellent performance in size control is mainly due to the huge increase in screen share contributed by Lenovo Z5 Xiao Haihai and narrow chin. From the data we can see that if we compare the non-full screen era, Lenovo Z5 and 5.5 inches of millet Note 3 (152.6*73.95*7.6mm) is similar in size, which also means that those small screen parties who are pursuing size 5.5 and below, Lenovo Z5 is also an alternative that can be considered and can have such a price at this price point. Screen share, may also be only with the small bangs + narrow chin Nokia X6 can battle.

Configuration

Strictly the same price of 1299 yuan, red rice S2 is used with Snapdragon 625 with 4 +64 GB of memory combinations, Lenovo Z5 is Xiao Long 636 with 6 +64 GB set, first run a set of points to compare the theoretical data.

The gap between Xiaolong 625 and Xiaolong 636 is within our expectation. Whether single or multi-core is slightly inferior, the gap in theoretical scores plus the same 14nm LPP process technology, but the lack of Xiaolong 625 core, results in Absolute performance in terms of red rice S2 lost.

Of course, in addition to absolute performance, the two also have certain extra points. Red rice S2's bonus item is a three-card parallel card slot that can use dual SIM cards + TF cards at the same time. The slot is the same as the second slot, although this design is usually only used on low-end machines due to the large footprint on the motherboard, but Xiaobian personally thinks it is useful for specific users. Lenovo Z5 is used. The type-C interface that can be blindly inserted in both positive and negative directions. From the aspect of usage, Type-C will eventually replace Micro USB to become mainstream. Now, Lenovo can provide equipment with limited cost of thousands of machines, which is also a good impression. .

Taking pictures

Camera, red rice S2 uses rear 1200W +500W pixel dual-camera scheme, front 1600W pixels, dark light environment also supports 4 pixel integration of superpixel synthesis. Lenovo Z5 is the use of rear 1600W pixels +800W pixel dual camera , Front 800W pixel AI beauty lens, support 100 beauty facial self-adjustment. Actual performance, we talk with proofs.

These two sets of proofs with large areas of the sky, millet S2 because of the presence of color cast, the Beijing rare good weather to restore the smell of a hint of dust, blue sky and white clouds are stained with noise, performance is not so transparent, good-looking, this point In contrast, it is very obvious.

In the indoor scene, the shortcomings of the dynamic range of the two were exposed, and there were different levels of high-light spillage in the high-light areas. Needless to say, the Lenovo Z5 had slightly better control, but it was also relatively limited. In terms of resolving power, the mottled pattern on the vase has been further restored. The disadvantage is that the bottommost safflower has overflowed due to the problem of color optimization, and the boundary between the flowers is almost invisible. Of course, red rice S2 is basically the same.

to sum up

At the level of 1299 yuan, the Red Rice S2 has been regarded as hard work, but the 720P resolution screen, a large forehead and chin, has been tired of the Sui Long 625, a pseudo-metal integrated body design back cover, all aspects relative to The spoiler Lenovo Z5 has a relatively obvious gap. The only part that can be said to have played well is taking pictures. This is because the Red Rice S2 uses a IMX486 such as a thousand dollar-performing CMOS. After all, Xiaomi himself Some of the high-end millet 6X, in fact, also use the same photosensitive elements, that from the side, in fact, the Z5's camera can also be considered a value.

On the whole, the king of price/performance ratio of 1299 yuan, Lenovo Z5 deserved to be regarded as well-deserved, the only problem may lie in the fact that Lenovo's stocking is not enough in the end, can we successfully grab it?
