IT168 evaluation in the mobile phone industry has such a saying called "Jin 9 Silver Ten", which means that most manufacturers are more willing to choose to release new products in September and October, which also led to the growth of mobile products into blowout at this stage. The reason for this phenomenon is mainly because the National Day holiday, Shuang 11 and Shuang 12 shopping festivals are all concentrated in the second half of the year. This will inevitably boost the publicity and promotion of their own mobile phones. Xiaomi 5s chose to publish this node at the end of September. First National Day holiday will be able to clear up the first inventory it has accumulated, and the next month will be able to spend the ramp-up phase of the product's capacity. And immediately after the double 11 will come, it is expected that Xiaomi 5s sales will also usher in the peak at this time, and the back of the double 12 and New Year holidays and other promotional nodes, it may be accompanied by price cuts or provide gifts for sale. In other words, Xiaomi has already paved the way for its own sales from the product cycle. So, is the listing of millet 5s burdened with too many commercial purposes, and the product itself is not competitive? I believe you will get the answer after reading this review.
Millet 5s is the result of Xiaomi’s deep market segmentation
Lei Jun mentioned such statements in a number of product launches. “Asked by netizens if I can be a XX player†or “Is everyone saying that glass can be used as a metal?†and “Rice noodle wants mobile phones to have XX capabilities. We added it to our mobile phone." It is not difficult to see that Xiaomi has always listened to the voice of consumers on the road to product development and is adept at market research. He is willing to add the functions or designs that consumers need to their products. This is due to the huge user base that Xiaomi has accumulated since MIUI began to understand the needs of consumers and make improvements. This is what Xiaomi is good at and it is the reason for its initial success.
But this is in fact a major factor that hampers Xiaomi’s entry into the high-end market. I once remembered Jobs saying such words: "Henry Ford did market research before inventing the car. The answer he got must be that everyone wanted to buy a better carriage. This invented the first car for Henry Ford. Is the car helpful?". It is not difficult to find out that it is not difficult to find out that what users need on the surface is not what they really need. Back to millet 5s, some users want a metal flagship machine, so millet 5s made metal; young people need a mobile phone performance, so Xiaomi 5s equipped with Xiaolong 821 processor; users want to take A better looking photo, so millet 5s comes with a sony IMX378 sensor and more.
In other words, today's millet is still on the road to create the ultimate product for users, but not under the support of rice flourish giant body, high vision, to create amazing products. Of course, this is not the fault of Xiaomi, but the status quo of domestic mobile phones. Xiaomi is a representative of emerging domestic mobile phone brands. It has a very high user base and is more capable of doing things that small manufacturers cannot do. The vision of “new domestic goods†that is born should also be heavier than others.
Therefore, before the evaluation, the author first came to a conclusion that despite Xiaomi 5s being shrouded in various “black technology†auras, neither the naming nor the product itself is an obvious iterative product. Its mission is more in-depth market segmentation, and to ensure that no competition with friends and merchants.

From the two versions of the comparison table, regardless of the version, Xiaomi 5s hardware is still the industry's top level. This includes the conservative side of Xiaomi. For example, the Xiaolong 821 processor is still a down-clocked version, the high-grade version does not use 6GB of memory, and the body technology is divided into two. The light gray and gold are made of high-gloss brushed, silver and rose gold. Matt matte. But at the same time, Xiaomi 5s also has a radical side, such as the introduction of the industry's immature ultrasonic fingerprinting technology and the pressure screen that is not a good experience on the Android platform. But overall, whether you buy a standard version or a high-profile version of millet 5s, the overall experience is not big, the main consideration before the purchase is the choice of color and size of the body storage space, because different colors of different processes, And millet 5s does not support TF card expansion.
Running points was a favorite thing that Xiaomi loves to do, and it is also a selling point that its products are proud of. However, as the homogenization of hardware becomes more and more serious, the running of the flagship models of various brands is basically divided. In addition, users began to pay attention to user experience rather than unilateral running points, so today's Xiaomi also began to downplay hardware parameters, but also hopes that the user will focus on where millet has its own uniqueness. However, running points is still the best way to quantify the performance. We still put the results of running the millet 5s high version.
From the results of running points, although Xiaomi 5s is not equipped with 6GB of running memory, the actual score has remained the same as that of OnePlus3. However, in fact, the comparison of the same level of products to run on the points is of no practical significance. Ultimately, whether or not the user can provide a smooth user experience is king. For millet 5s, it is still running the king, but today's running sub-wang has gradually not seen points.
No bright spots in design, millet 5 metal plate
If you let me use a sentence to describe the appearance of millet 5s, it is the metal version of millet 5. Because both the location of the machine's various openings, the arc around the chamfer, or the overall size of the size and millet 5 remain basically the same. The most intuitive difference from previous generations is the difference between the Home key and the material, which is difficult for the average consumer. However, the transition from Xiaomi 5 to Xiaomi 5s is different from the transition from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6s. If you are careful, you can still find some upgrade points.
First of all, when the author got 5s of millet, it was definitely a little more pressing than the previous millet 5, but this feeling is not strong, basically is holding a book and holding a book plus A stack of papers. From the parameters point of view, millet 5s measurements have increased about 1mm compared to millet 5, the body weight increased roughly 16g, if you compare the millet 5 ceramic version, then the weight difference between the two can basically be ignored . According to the author's speculation, the reason for the increase in body weight that led to Xiaomi 5s is mainly due to the pressure-sensitive screen's blessing, as well as the additional extra 200mAh battery capacity. If you compare the feel, I get this light gray millet 5s and the glass back cover millet 5 is not much difference, but the glass surface is slightly smoother.
In addition to the location of the Home button on the front of the fuselage, there are two points worth paying attention to. One is that the "mi" logo was removed from the millet 5s. This approach greatly increased the integrity of the front of the fuselage, and the visual perception looks better. This is also one of the 5 slots suggested by the users. Another point is the front of the fuselage covered with a layer of 2.5D glass, so that the grip of the mobile phone is more comfortable, not like the millet 5 to pick up their hands, the other is the mobile phone for the all-metal body, add some glass texture.
Millet 5s Home key need to focus on explaining. Xiaomi 5s uses a non-porous ultrasonic fingerprint module. This technology comes from Qualcomm's ultrasound-based 3D fingerprinting solution. This technology has higher recognition ability, applicability and integration than traditional fingerprints. In simple terms, Xiaomi 5s' fingerprint module can emit ultrasonic waves to sense your fingerprints. It can penetrate the glass and metal surfaces. This is the reason why Xiaomi can make its module non-porous. In addition, even if you have sweat, hand cream, and small dirt on your hands, you can still accurately identify your fingerprints.
However, this solution was released as early as March 2015, but why did Xiaomi apply it to his mobile phone so far? This is mainly because this set of solutions put into the mobile phone has a lot of technical difficulties, one is that if it is completely covered on the bottom of the glass, then the frequent use of mobile phones to launch sound waves will inevitably affect the battery life. Second, if the module is reduced to an acceptable size, if it does not involve a location to instruct the consumer to press, it will result in the user being unable to accurately place the finger in the fingerprint module. Therefore, even if this technology does not need to be integrated on the Home button, Xiaomi has designed a groove for it to help users find it. This is really just a groove, so you don't need to worry about the Home button getting out of paint or the broken button.
Specific to the actual use of the situation, under normal circumstances it is no different from ordinary fingerprints, recognition speed compared to millet 5 did not improve. However, compared with the fingerprint module, when the finger is wet, the recognition rate of the ultrasonic fingerprint is higher.
In the middle frame part, because millet 5s uses the all-metal body, there is no need to add a metal middle frame like millet 5. Thanks to this, the metal-integrated fuselage with the back of the 3D arc is very close to the palm, more comfortable to use. It is worth noting that Xiaomi 5s accidentally canceled the infrared sensor module. The reason for this is that because in the past year or so, both the Xiaomi mobile phone and Red rice mobile phone have been equipped with infrared modules. Currently, it is possible to electronically integrate and remotely integrate the remote controllers of various appliances in the home. Does this cancellation mean that Millet will have a better solution for connectivity in the future? This can only wait for the millet official to give an accurate answer.
Millet 5s light gray fuselage with the same red rice Pro design, coating the surface of the brushed metal, so that the body surface not only has an excellent metal texture but also has a brilliant glass-like luster. The design itself does not seem to be cheap, and it is only blamed on Xiaomi's first design of the red rice. Preconceived is the common thinking of everyone, to millet 5s this top flagship models coupled with red rice design, how do you think millet is not kind.
In fact, careful users can also find that there is a little difference between the millet 5 and millet 5s camera part, millet 5s dual color temperature flash on the left side of the camera, and millet 5 on the right. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, metal is more ductile than glass, and glass is very fragile, so it is difficult to make holes in the curved 3D arc surface, and the millet 5s metal body just evades this problem. So careful analysis, in fact, millet 5s back design is more reasonable, but the ugly nano-injection tape will in turn discredited the points should be extra points.
Summarizing, millet 5s surface looks like a metal version of the millet 5, but in fact, on this basis, as much as possible to do some technical efforts. But after all, millet 5s is still built for users who love metal materials. If you only value the value, you may not even have millet 5.

Sony custom CMOS, stunning super-light camera
This autumn conference, Xiaomi 5s did not bring the dual cameras of the Xiaomi 5 Plus, which is similar to Apple's distribution on the iPhone 7 series. However, Xiaomi 5s is also equipped with the legendary black technology - ultra-sensitive camera in the camera, which is one of the main reasons Lei Jun has confidence in the microblogging Tan Zhang.
The millet 5s equipped with a Sony IMX 387 12 million pixel lens and f2.0 aperture, 80 degrees wide angle, dual color temperature flash combination. In addition, the large 1.55-micron focus-assist pixel, together with the latest ball-type closed-loop control of the focus motor, is very accurate in low-light focusing. Having said so much black technology, how does Xiaomi 5s take pictures? We also compare it with the Samsung Galaxy S7, an Android camera benchmark.
In terms of photographing, evaluating whether a camera's hardware is powerful will generally look at the sensor, and the larger the area of ​​the sensor, which means that the higher the amount of light entering, the higher the amount of light entering it means better picture quality. The ultra-sensitive camera of this millet 5s is equipped with a 1/2.3†large photosensitive element, and the area is 59% larger than that of the iPhone 6s Plus, and the whole is almost equivalent to a common card camera. The benefits of a large photosensitive element can be simply and immediately under low light. It can better restore the scene and shoot stronger details.
Since it is equipped with black technology for photographing, we prefer the proof of the night scene proofs. In this set of ordinary night proofs, we were surprised that Xiaomi was so powerful that once the benchmark was overshadowed. In the case of a larger area of ​​light-sensing elements, the color of the night will be more pure and the black will be more true. The overall performance of Samsung will be brighter and there will be more obvious noise. In addition, we can see more obvious exposure on the Subway brand LOGO, Xiaomi 5s will not appear.
In low-light and long-term detail, Xiaomi 5s also has obvious advantages over Samsung Galaxy S7. When the two proofs restore 100% detail at the same time, although they can not clearly capture the license plate number, at least the millet 5s can shoot in the harsh environment to capture the outline of the car. The performance of night vision details is mainly due to the ultra-sensitive camera of Xiaomi 5s.
In the case of low light, encountering self-luminous objects is also a test of the white balance ability of this product. We once again experienced the Samsung Galaxy S7, which is known as a night-vision goggles, at night shooting the building proofs. It can capture the brightness beyond the naked eye and can also shoot clearer proofs. But we have to admit that Samsung algorithmically brightens photos, but the white balance of proofs is not very accurate. Through this proof sheet we can see that the millet 5s is not as good as the Samsung Galaxy S7 in detail, but the overall color is closer to the real situation.
We all know that when the camera encounters red and green connections, most cameras will experience accurate white balance. This millet 5s still gave us a satisfactory answer. First of all, in the red, green fruit can be a good return to the original color. In addition, we are concerned with a few details. There is no serious white balance color difference between the yellow part of the red apple and the yellow part of the green apple. This is very rare.

Through the experience of the camera part, we concluded that Xiaomi 5s belongs to the first tier standard in the Android mobile phone in 2016. Based on the protection of the white balance and focusing speed of the camera, the photosensitive element has been added, and the large photosensitive element has brought an excellent night view experience. The light is overly delicate and in full conformity with the slogan of “eye of the night†claimed by Xiaomi. Although there is still a certain gap between it and the benchmark iPhone7 Plus, but the price of 1999 yuan, only in the camera we are recognized millet 5s.
System experience, 3D Touch experience is not perfect yet
Millet 5s is still equipped with the MIUI 8 operating system based on Android 6.0.1. At present, the system version I got is MIUI 8 6.9.22 development version, which is the latest development version MIUI 8 system. After six years of iterations, MIUI's body has grown tremendously. The smooth operation experience, exquisite flat UI, and rich personalization capabilities have made other domestic ROMs unmatched. Although the tainted advertising problem still exists in some small corners, it has obviously converged much more than before. Xiaomi is also actively using the cloud and big data to optimize ad delivery and trying to make advertisements become what the users want. .
From the overall interface, MIUI 8 still maintains a small and fresh design style. The drop-down menu is rich in functions. It can not only exhale the search bar, but also display the current weather and calendar conditions. In addition, there are buttons such as quick switch and brightness adjustment, so that the complicated functions can be integrated to ensure the value of the design. The design of millet can be seen. The team did make a great effort.
In addition, the latest MIUI 8 also integrates a variety of features such as mobile phone split, application avatar, life calculator, and sweeping. You can easily set up a privacy system, use two micro signals with a mobile phone, use your own calculator to calculate the exchange rate, personal income tax and even home loans, and even get answers directly from your mobile phone.
Through the author's test, the 3D Touch function of Xiaomi 5s has not yet been fully developed. First of all, compared to the iPhone, the 3D Touch of Xiaomi 5s does not support adjusting the sensitivity of pressure sensitivity, which leads to the user cannot choose a suitable force size. At the same time, in the transition animation, Xiaomi only made the animation effect of the exhalation pressure menu, but it lacks the transition animation when exiting the menu, giving the user a very unnatural feeling of operation. In addition, although the application of the millet 5s system level can basically support the 3D Touch menu, unfortunately, I have not yet found a third party application that supports pressure sensing.
Therefore, when it is necessary to explain, you do not need to pay for the high-profile version of Xiaomi 5s because of the 3D Touch function, because the experience of this technology on the Android platform is not perfect. Although Huawei, ZTE, and Meizu have all introduced pressure-sensitive mobile phones, it is difficult for them to compete with Apple in terms of user experience. Unless Google will follow this technology on native Android in the future, customization by third-party vendors alone will be difficult to scale.
Evaluation summary: The product of the times that meets market demand
Through this review, I believe you have a certain understanding of Xiaomi 5s. Millet 5s is still the mobile phone that was born for enthusiasts. It uses the industry's best hardware parameters, and the camera level is also very impressive, even if compared to the Samsung S7 does not make a difference. But today's enthusiasts seem to have gradually retired, and simply stacking hardware can no longer meet their needs. The industrial design and the technical reserves of truly independent research and development are the main directions in which millet needs deep plowing in the future. Millet gorgeous transformation, technical pressure, launch more than 3,000 yuan price of mobile phones is still the expectations of people all rice flour.
Millet 5s this product for the significance of millet, in my opinion most of them are in line with the needs of the market, and combined with favorable days, trying to further expand the Xiaomi brand shipments. Of course, it also has a certain value of differentiation, such as millet 5s first IMX 378 sensor, is also the first non-hole ultrasonic fingerprint phone. Compared with mobile phones with the same price, Xiaomi's advantage lies in its excellent photo-taking level, mature and practical operating system, and fever-level hardware parameters. In addition, after the millet 5s was released, the price of Xiaomi 5 was further reduced. If you are tangling to buy millet 5 or millet 5s, I believe that if you look at the appearance of choice millet 5, if you take a picture to choose millet 5s. Because the gap between the two hardware is ultimately reflected in the user experience, it is almost equivalent.
