一、前言：重回1799梦想价格 小米旧时衣钵传人
小米手机不知不觉已经走到其诞生之后的第八个年头。
In the past eight years of old memories, what rice fans like is that Lei Jun stands on the press conference stage again and again, speaking authentic Xiantao Mandarin slowly unveiling the veil of the products to be released.
而比产品揭秘过程还要令米粉们心动的，莫过于几乎每一次都会出现的一张“售价1799”“售价1999”的Keynote图。就是如此梦幻的价格，才让米粉甘愿一次又一次为每年的小米数字真旗舰等待。
By 2017, the "2499" of Xiaomi 6 was a bit surprising, but seeing the alleviation of supply pressure and the comprehensive improvement of comprehensive qualities such as "photographing", "memory", and "craftsmanship", it is also quite gratifying. However, a little regrettable is that "1799" and "1999" are the numbers marked by many years, which seem to be lost...
However, on May 31, 2018, the Keynote of Xiaomi 8 SE jumped into the eyes. When Lei Jun read out the resolution of the board of directors of Xiaomi company that "From now on, Xiaomi hardware's comprehensive net profit margin will never exceed 5%", we realized that this butcher who insists on bloody cost-effectiveness has never left, because Xiaomi 8 SE is walking towards us in his old mantle.
在正式开始深入了解小米8 SE之前，先一睹其大概配置参数。
2. Appearance: Vertical dual camera forehead bangs "iPhone like" trend is hard to change
As shown in the picture above, the packaging box of Xiaomi 8 SE extends the packaging box style of the Xiaomi mobile phone family, and the overall use a minimalist design and white base.为纪念小米创立八周年，其正面单一个巨大的“8”字矗立夺人眼球，并让“SE”的小尾巴乖乖安于“8”字脚下，以防喧宾夺主。
As shown in the figure, the designer cleverly matched the front of the fuselage into black. In this way, the Xiaomi 8 SE looks integrated in the screen-off state, and the machine's chin and border are fortunately hidden in the "screen-off aesthetics" visual experience, which is difficult to detect.
“息屏林志玲，亮屏罗玉凤”可将笔者在其息屏到亮屏这个过程所经历的心理波动概括出来。出现这种感觉的原因并非出在机器本身，而是息屏下其外观给人的预期实在是太高了，一时之间无法接受现实。
"iPhone like" has almost become a mainstream trend since Apple mobile phones became the top of the phone overlord, and even generated the strange law of "those who are like me live, those who are against me die", which is not unrelated to the popular consumers' follow-up trends.
The silent majority really determine the direction of the world. Take the current blazing notch screen for example. Geek enthusiasts have repeatedly cried, "ugly, really ugly, very ugly, so ugly that people and gods are angry", but mainstream consumers who vote with their feet still choose and make it happen. Even Google has made the bottom-level adaptation of the notch screen in Android P... As Yonghao said - long live understanding!
As shown in the picture above, on the right side of the body are the three ancestors of King Kong buttons "Volume+", "Volume-" and "Switch on/off". This has been continued since Xiaomi's first generation mobile phones, and old users have no learning costs.按下去其回馈及时并饱满紧致，可以看出小米在小米8 SE上对于前代个别款型手机出现过的按键松动问题做了解决。
如图所示，小米8 SE采用的是“三明治”结构，前后玻璃面板加金属中框，做工方面比较用心，缝隙视觉上几乎没有。但是想要吐槽的是，大家可以十分明显地看出玻璃面板和中框几乎是直角相连。
So, this way, two different materials are so rigid and non-transition fit, and they don’t have the round and smooth feel of the Mi6 Mi Note series back then. In addition, the characteristics of the glass panel fingerprint collector are recommended, so it is recommended that you buy it and wear it for use (the official silicone shell is given with the machine without using it).
小米8 SE的顶部，是双天线+单降噪Mic。There is also an ancestral infrared transmitter placed on the top, not doing anything good, this is a detailed configuration that has not been abandoned for many years, which has facilitated many lazy people to switch air-conditioning TVs in dormitories/classrooms/waiting rooms/dining rooms.
The bottom of Xiaomi 8 SE is the Type-C interface and the headphone jack has been cancelled, but it comes with an adapter with the machine, so it naturally does not cause any trouble for the user. Regarding the adapter cable, it is fine with daily use, but if you are a fan of HiFi headphones, you should turn left to support a wave of HTC's "relying to make a living".
Overall, the Xiaomi 8 SE has no choice but to conform to the "iPhone like", but it also retains the ancestral features such as "King Kong button". The touch points in the feel can be regarded as cost constraints, not as a flaw. It can be forgiven for the coquettish color scheme and 1799.
3. Performance: First launch of Snapdragon 710! 160,000 points crushing 660, close to flagship 835
Xiaomi 8 SE is equipped with Snapdragon 710 processor, which is the world's first mobile phone equipped with Snapdragon 710. There are many different opinions about the true face of Snapdragon 710, and some even say that it is the "Pro" version of Snapdragon 6 series...
. The author believes that there is obviously a problem with the statement that Snapdragon 710 is a 6-series Pro. The conclusion is here first - it is a new mobile platform with the flagship gene of Snapdragon 800!
As shown in the picture above, the Snapdragon 710 equipped with Xiaomi 8 SE has a 10nm process, a Kryo 300 series CPU, and an Adreno 600 series GPU. In addition, there are multiple IPs including Spectra 250 ISP, Hexagon 685 DPS, and X15 LTE baseband, all derived from 800 series flagship processors.
It is worth noting that the Snapdragon 710 is equipped with the Kryo 360 core with the same architecture as 845, and its CPU core architecture is one generation ahead of the 835! The 710's 2 Kryo 360 two large cores have a main frequency of up to 2.2GHz, and the 6 Kryo 360 small cores can ensure more power saving in daily use.
Snapdragon 710 also uses the new Adreno 616 graphics processor, which is the second 6-Series Adreno GPU after Snapdragon 845's Adreno 630. Compared with 660, the Snapdragon 710 GPU graphics rendering speed is increased by 35% and the power consumption is reduced by 20%.
So it is obvious that Snapdragon 710 can beat the 6 series high, or even force the 835 to the door of the 8 series. It would be too unreasonable to call such a mobile platform "quasi-flagship".
However, in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the capabilities of the Snapdragon 710 processor, the author still needs to use the three test softwares Antutu , PCMark and Androbench to test the Xiaomi 8 SE among its players.
(PS: GeekBench and GFXBench are not able to be used normally on Xiaomi 8 SE after repeated attempts. The MIUI forum also has such feedback. It is currently initially determined to be a system firmware problem. After the system iteration in the future, the test results of the two will be supplemented.)
, Antutu test
Antutu introduction: The world's number of users of mobile phone/tablet hardware performance evaluation tool can comprehensively examine the performance of various aspects of the device, including user experience, and visually rank it. Supports multiple mainstream platforms, and the running scores can be compared across platforms.
The left picture shows the running score of Xiaomi 8 SE, and the right picture shows the running score of OPPO R15 Dream Edition. It can be seen that the Snapdragon 710 has obvious capabilities that can beat the Snapdragon 660 processor, leading by nearly 20,000 points.
, PCMark test
PCMark introduction: PCMark is a testing software that takes the overall performance of the entire machine as the consideration. It can accurately reflect the processing performance of the mobile phone daily use. It has multiple daily test and testing scenarios, such as web browsing, video editing, document writing, picture editing, etc., and can conduct battery life tests.
It should be noted that PCMark's running scores tend to be energy consumption ratio, that is, the higher the score of mobile phones with more balanced power consumption and performance.
In the PCMark test stage, Xiaomi 8 SE only scored 6545 due to the storage type of eMMC it uses. However, judging from this test result, it has almost no impact in daily use scenarios.
, Android Test
Androbench Introduction: AndroidBench is a benchmark application that can measure the 4K instant storage and storage performance of Android devices, including internal or external storage.
continuous reading speed is around 286MB/s. The performance of standard eMMC5.1 is considered to be fair, with no result or failure.
4. Take photos: DxO 101 points the same CMOS! Among the camera sensors of the rear dual camera of Sony IMX363, the main camera is Sony IMX363. Speaking of IMX363, it is the same CMOS for many cameras such as Xiaomi MIX 2S and Nut R1. Xiaomi MIX 2S has received a high score of 101 points for DxO with this CMOS.
From the perspective of parameters, IXM363 is an extremely high-level large-sole CMOS with a single pixel size of up to 1.4 microns. Such a top CMOS is being handed over to mobile phones starting from 1799. Xiaomi is really trying hard to improve the photography level of the entire product line model.
, daytime sample
Just as the storm was about to come, the wind filled the building, and the thick clouds made the light weaker, which some affected the photo effect. The quality of the camera is pretty good, especially the second one shows the effect of black clouds pressing down on the city, and many details of the building in the two photos are not lost.
The pink flowers under the macro are delicate and dripping, and the blurred scenery in the distance is also spread out in an orderly manner, which is quite powerful.
white balance sample, the evergreen pine in early summer is deep and dense, and it shows a little white under the lens of Xiaomi 8 SE, but the imaging quality is generally excellent.
This is a slightly mottled sculpture in the community. Thanks to the newly added AI imaging and HDR training in the camera, the details are restored relatively completely, and the blurring in the distance is more appropriate.
A row of small trees in the community has good close-up image and is somewhat overexposed in the distance.
, night sample
The lights are just on, and the city lights reflect the sky with colors. The camera really restores it, but due to the light, a lot of details of the building are lost.
Retro door and sculpture at night, even if the light is insufficient, the picture brightness of Xiaomi 8 SE still reaches a good balance under the training of HDR.
The shop at night showed a high picture brightness under the lights, and the effect presented was quite satisfactory.
The picture above is a macro shot under extreme dark light, showing the skills of IMX363 to the fullest.
, portrait sample
Xiaomi 8 SE's portrait blur effect is relatively accurate. The portrait subject of the young lady in the picture has no blurring errors, and the background has been completely blurred, but some more delicate details are lacking, which may be due to its 5 million shots.
The beauty level has been subdivided into multiple levels in Xiaomi camera. As shown in the above picture, the beauty level has been increased in sequence from left to right. You can see that the highest level of beauty effects have been excessively polished and whitened. It is recommended that you choose primary beauty.
. Battery life: Eat chicken for 6 hours! This 3120 mAh is really durable
, PCMark battery life test
test environment is 80% brightness and 20% volume.
At 80% brightness, Xiaomi 8 SE won nearly 9 hours and 37 minutes of PCMark battery life, which means that it is completely stress-free for one day of use.
, online video test
First perform the video playback test, here the Bilibili client plays online barrage video (53% brightness, 20% volume), starting from 65% battery, after playing for 1 hour, the remaining battery is 51%, and the power consumption is 14% in 60 minutes.
65% battery start
remaining battery 51%
Estimate, Xiaomi 8 SE can be continuously played online video for nearly 9 to 10 hours with full battery.
, game test
Here we use the most popular chicken-eating mobile game " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds : Stimulating Battlefield " for testing (high-definition picture quality). The game starts with 43% of the battery. After half an hour, the remaining battery is 32%, and 11% of the power is consumed in 30 minutes.
43% battery starts
remaining battery 32%
Convert, thanks to the excellent power consumption of Snapdragon 710, Xiaomi 8 SE can play "PUBG: Stimulating Battlegrounds" for 5 to 6 hours continuously! For 10 hours of online video or eating chicken for 5 to 6 hours, considering the battery capacity of only 3120 mAh, it can be said that the battery life of the Xiaomi 8 SE has far exceeded the author's expectations, and users with excessive and heavy weight can also ensure long-term battery life.
. Summary: 1799 yuan! This is the real flagship
as shown in the above review results. Xiaomi 8 SE is a honest model with advantages and disadvantages in front of you. It does not conceal the embarrassing reading and writing ability of eMMC5.1 at all.
It cannot conceal the gap between the notch screen and the large border, the big chin "one thought becomes a demon and one thought becomes a Buddha" and the notch screen. All this is intuitive and helpless, because the ceilings of 1799-1999 are insurmountable there.
However, the outstanding training of IMX363 and the large muscle attractions of Snapdragon 710 have to make you notice that it is a special existence that is completely different from the same price model. Such a powerful main configuration and unyielding detailed points, based on the price range of 1799-1999, the following are not enough to extract the strangeness of it.
If you need a flagship phone with high-quality photography experience, and do not pursue the ultimate perfection and flawless Virgo realm, and not have a large budget, then Xiaomi 8 SE, a quasi-flagship with bloody, brutal cost-effectiveness, is one of the choices you cannot escape.
