specifications Xiaomi redmi Note 2

Xiaomi redmi Note 2 was stuffing , attractive, not only within its price range (which serious competitors can be counted on the fingers), but also in general. Some smartphone iron elements inherent flagships, rather than budgetary PHABLET.



processor

Eight-chipset MTK Helio X10, bearing the codename MT6795, is positioned as the flagship chip, so to see it in PHABLET 150 $ – it was unexpected. For example, the nearest competitor, Meizu M2 Note, equipped with a cheaper processor MT6753. Eight cores running at a frequency of 2 GHz and a fast GPU PowerVR G6200, provide Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is quite a decent level of performance. Screenshot_2016-02-22-21-12-51_com.antutu.ABenchMark

Camera

Thanks to the 13-megapixel Samsung’s image quality with sufficient illumination can be called good. Flash is able to compensate for the lack of light in the near-shooting. In macro mode detailing generally is on an excellent level. Slightly worse when taking pictures in foggy conditions or in the evening: then there is a blurring of the contours of objects and have an effect noises. The dark noise pollution immediately catches the eye. However, it should be noted in fairness that this shortcoming is not denied even flagships.

My story Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 – iXBT.com


Hello and Good day. According to the title of article you can already guess that we will focus on the mobile device Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (XRN3). But before that, a little story about how he got to me. And so, let’s go!


I learned in early November that goes XRN3. I’m in love with him as soon as he saw him. And so, as soon as I got the Christmas bonus, I imagine it right away and ordered. Ordered to GearBest site in gold color (it was just cheaper). Delivery was about a month and delivered directly into the hands, for which a special thank you!

I want to warn at once that I am not a professional obzorschik, so forgive me a sinner.



This post participates in the contest blog in iXBT.com blogs!


Xiaomi redmi Note 3 in gold color. In his hands he felt pretty good, but I can not say that he is confident … And you know how to talk about it in standard surveys I do not want. All specifications, can be found on Yandex Market. I want to tell you about it from the point of view of the user.

Before him I had Lg G3s, so all my opinion will be based on a comparison of these two phones. And perhaps we’ll start with the screen. The screen is one of the strengths of this phone. I like its color, which you can customize. I like his definition. Agree Not all phones with 5.5 “is 1920×1080 Usually it is smaller and still eye cuts, but the first thing I noticed is the location of icons, but rather the number 4×5
Desktop icons layout 4×5

 And if you look at the screen, it shows that the icons are not optimized for this screen. In some applications, visible pixelation that upset me at first, but over time I got used to it and it was not so important.

Let us discuss a little sensational “warm” processor MediaTek Helio X10 (MT6795). Is it really hot? Yes. But in this weather, it is even pleasant. While at room temperature, it becomes really noticeable heating it. But I can say one thing. I do not drive in the game and do not run heavy applications. So I do not think this is what is critical.



Runtime

One of the advantages of this device -. It is the battery capacity. Charge with the active use I have enough for the day. In some cases, the half of the day. For me, as an active social person is very, very good. Especially considering permanently incorporated 4G, GPS, bluetooth. Most of the phone is open until late at night.

Now is the time to talk about the sound.
It is a pity there is no smiley “chocolate truffles”. Because the sound is there really well, so-so. I’m not an audiophile, but like good sound quality. To my regret, about this phone can not say so. True I like to mention one detail. When headphones are plugged in “headset” you can adjust the sound quality. There are several options. It’s either working with the equalizer, or you turn on the stereo amplifier item «Mi Sound». The inclusion of the latter is quite an interesting idea. the sound gets better twice. More precisely automatically set equalizer settings, so that the sound is better. And if you are lucky enough to own any headphones Xiaomi, you can choose to have certain settings by selecting a model of the same name



Other


And talking about music we gradually turn to the camera. Is there a good camera? I will not take the responsibility to approve it. It’s not the worst, while smooth hands can get very not bad photos. Perhaps in this I will not be long to focus on.

phone came to me with the Russian interface. At first I did not know, happy or not (for those who do not know. Xiaomi produces its firmware only Chinese and English. In the Russian translation of our craftsmen in MIUI.su Russian community). As expected, the translation was not complete, but rather it is not everywhere. And so sometimes there is a mix of Anglo-Russian version.

And of course, a fingerprint scanner. He was the decisive argument for making your choice of smartphone. Thanks to him, I almost do not use the power button. It works quickly, clearly, but not always. it so happens that he repeatedly does not recognize print and how many times you did not apply, it still does not work, and there is only an option with a password that you set with him.

I have a phone in use for a month. During this time I have it spontaneously rebooted 3 times. But in spite of its sound and the curvature of my hands me the phone very much. Its color, design, fingerprint reader, about which I almost forgot upominut, value for money. Create the impression of a quality unit for a long time I hope it will be so!

P.S. I know that already came out a full review of the Xiaomi Note 3 iXBT.com, but my thoughts may also be interested in!

Hollywood film adaptation of Death Note will receive a rating of R – Kanobu (Register)

I already wrote about the Hollywood adaptation of the brilliant manga Death Note with Nate Wolfe as Light Yagami. The film puts Adam Wingard, director of fairly good horror “Guest” and “You end!».

At the conference in 2016 DICE representative site Collider spoke with film producer Roy Lee. According to Li, Wingard waiting for “the green light” to shoot the movie, but the actors have already been identified. Filming should begin in 2016. Lee said that the film adaptation will be designed for adults:

This is exactly the film for an adult audience. There is no chance that the rating will be lower R

. <-! -> <-! -> <-! -> <-! -> <-! -> <-! ->

The general tone of the film Lee describes as “one of the first adaptations of manga, which will be very realistic, but it must contain fantastic elements»

.

the funny thing here is that the original manga published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, designed for boys and adolescents 8-18 years of age. There are no explicit scenes of violence and sex, as a way of dealing with heroes and villains selected the most bloodless: heart attack.

Of course, some characters fall into trucks and are suffering similar troubles, but in comics all kept on a tight plot and psychology of the characters. So this is just the adaptation of the manga, which the R rating completely useless.

We’ve been on a review of Lenovo K3 Note bright yellow. The decision can not be called original for several years (since the release of Nokia Lumia 920), but it definitely makes the device stand out among the rest. Slightly spoils the impression a pearlescent

On the downside we put too narrow and slightly evolved lock and volume buttons

The most faceless of the three It can be called Meizu M2 Note. The “mouse” gray it resembles a bar of soap at all.

screen

All three smartphone received a 5.5-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of Full HD (just like iPhone 6 / 6s Plus). If not particularly find fault, it all seemed to be ok -. Screen clear and bright rather

However, on closer inspection you realize that the matrix is ​​not as in flagship smartphones – tilt colors fade and the sun to read something something quite difficult.

We conducted several tests for clarity and recorded them on video. From left to right – Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Lenovo K3 Note and Meizu M2 Note.

As you can see, the brightest display in Meizu M2 Note. At the same time he is the most “gentle” of the Trinity and a minimum illumination – and thus at night to read it will be most comfortable. But it had faded most of the tested color devices.

The average (of the three) indicators brightness from Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. It is not the brightest at maximum, but at night the discomfort does not deliver. Color reproduction is also not at the highest level.

As for the Lenovo K3 Note, here we see the most vivid colors and good contrast, but the brightness of the stock in very short supply, especially in the street. This night, at a minimum, he shines brighter than all

The display competition we put on first line Meizu M2 Note, the second -. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and the third – Lenovo K3 Note

performance

the good, all three smartphones – they provide sufficient performance for most tasks. This means that you can play as in the simple and in the “heavy” games (though not always at the maximum setting), will not have any appreciable lag when working in other applications.

However, testing small braking were found in the Lenovo K3 Note. Perhaps the reason lies in insufficient optimized interface

Of course, we are “banished” all three smartphone in AnTuTu and got a result (from left to right – Xiaomi, Lenovo and Meizu):.

So, Xiaomi redmi 3 Note – the first line, from the Lenovo K3 Note – the second, at the Meizu M2 Note – third .

The synthetic test confirmed the balance of power: Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo
