Although millet phone popular in the network, but in fact millet existing mobile phone product line, support from the sales task but it is red rice products. The current series is divided into red rice red rice, red rice Note two branches, which hit the big screen red rice Note feature, and sales have exceeded 25 million units, millet line to become the next channel can not be ignored hero. With the progress of upgrading the industry and market demand, after nearly a year and a half later, millet also introduced the second generation of red rice Note2 phone, the continuation of large-screen operation characteristics, played the minimum price of 799 yuan, will become a thousand dollars big screen is another killer product.
Compared to the conventional single product with a single idea, the red rice Note2 When multiple versions of the release on the launch configuration, and at different prices to cover more people, but behind this Millet is clearly expanding market territory of another new strategy. Red rice Note2 has three versions, Standard Edition (Mobile 4G) use MT6795M processor with 16GB storage, priced at $ 799, Mobile / Unicom 4G version is priced at 899 yuan double, both of which configuration is the same. As for the high version Dual 4G use MT6795T processor with 32GB storage, priced at 999 yuan. The main difference is that the processor clock speed and memory, other parts remain consistent.
comparison with the price of products, red rice Note2 obviously a great advantage, and which in addition to hardware features, the appearance of the second update is a major part of the future system is equipped with the MIUI 7 become the core of plus points, while the technology also has a phase focusing thousand Yuan machine in the first moment, the overall highlights full. That what this red rice Note2 What has changed? What are deficiencies? I believe that this review will answer your related questions.
Red Rice Note2 Review: Charm Blue Note2 contrast which is worth buying?
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
For now thousand dollars market, a good product is not only to ensure that there are content, have Attaining connotation. So on the second generation of red rice millet Note2 we saw thousands of big-screen machines to upgrade the concept, including the realization of the mainstream 1080p display, equipped with the latest eight-core processor, using 13 million pixel phase focus, with dual card 4G features, support the replacement of batteries, significant progress compared to the previous generation, and in the configuration did not lose the current high-end products. And in fact this is red rice series phones strategy, cost-effective features continue to Qianyuan Ji market.
We begin to solve a problem, the red rice Note2 799 yuan worth buying? If you had previously is user red rice products, it is undoubtedly it brings upgrade and change is evident, it is worth Recommended start. If you are currently using other products, we are considering a thousand large-screen products, and that red rice Note2 both hardware and software products are compared with the price advantage, indeed the standard of play afford its thousands flagship. If we can start with the original price of 799 yuan, the absolute value for money.

Red Rice Note2 appearance Experience: more sophisticated
We take a look at the appearance and design section. Frankly speaking, before the appearance of red rice products in part of the capital not much achievements, performance perception part is also mostly traditional thousand machines, and this is even the Friends of the Tucao. But on the red rice Note2 we see some changes, the most intuitive impression that the design has been significantly improved, overall exquisite sense raise a lot of products have changed clumsy impression.
Note2 fuselage red rice and red rice before series basically not much difference, because the feature 5.5-inch screen, so whole body seemed a little bit big, the size value is 152x76x8.25 millimeters and weighs 160 grams. However, taking into account its positioning large screen, it is pretty understandable. Also if they observe it, in fact, red rice and millet Note2 4i style is very similar to, or even can be said geometric larger version, although the previous millet 4i did in the domestic market, but praise the foreign media.
There are a few details worth exploring is the speaker portion red rice Note2 still is sunken design style, and the consequences of this design is that the handset part is very easy to fouling, and even if it does not clean up Effect of handset quality. Although already a second generation product, but at this point it has not millet achieve excellence improvement, somewhat regrettable. And why not improved, the individual should have control costs on speculation, after all, red rice price Note2 indeed already is, “the industry’s conscience.”
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
Also front camera will remain in 5 million pixels, the same face recognition and beauty photograph features this point and the previous generation of products consistent. It is worth mentioning that the left front camera is also hidden lights, and millet also add a “breathing” characteristics, manifested in two aspects: First, the indicator will be notified when the flashing lights tips; Also this lighting can customize up to seven colors, can be for notification, calls and text messages scene conditions (other usage scenarios not supported).
Careful users may find that the top of the front of the red rice Note2 does not seem to find the location of conventional sensors, in fact, this is red rice Note2 part of promotion work. Sensor area hidden in the handset on the right side of the black panel, needs careful to find, and this is also a more subtle compared to previous generations.
narrow border is the industry’s popular word now, but does not seem millet products to emphasize features, so even on the flagship machine millet Note ultra-narrow frame is difficult to see the figure, let alone is $ level of red rice Note2. So in contrast and charm blue Note2 the same price, we can see that the red rice border Note2 not have the advantage, and charm blue Note2 almost the same, in fact, which is currently less than a thousand machines a common design.
narrowing the screen go dark side BM is not difficult for manufacturers, but the reason for leaving a black border region, primarily to guaranteed yield and cost control, and strive to quickly ship, which is caused by the current common fine thousand Yuan machine is not enough major problems. Also red rice and charm Note2 Note2 blue screens are not using Corning Gorilla Glass covering, but ordinary glass, where there are also due to cost considerations. We can not judge this material mind, but the pursuit crafted or rugged durability, I believe that each vendor has its own considerations.
If you have previously been carefully red rice products of the common features that you should be able to find that they are very similar in terms of style button. First, with a red hue respect programs and functions layout is also consistent with that multitasking button, Main Menu key and back key, if used before millet related products can easily transition. Also these three buttons are touch keys entities, and with backlight design. Because icons and function keys are fixed, so you can not customize the location and attributes, and before little difference.
details of the promotion also includes a key aspect, and this is what we feel is very obvious. Although red rice Note2 appearance and does not use metal material, nor do the whole body, but the use of plastic material, but with the keys under the effect is very good indeed. Key processes and feedback effects buttons are very good, even not lost on the flagship millet Note (there is stiff feeling slightly metallic), plus the side button design, even with one hand can also be very easy to operate.
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
Other key aspects also include 3.5mm Headphones, double wheat noise reduction, etc., then this is not repeated. But it needs to be stressed is that red rice Note2 equipped with infrared capabilities, you can use the built-in remote control millet achieve remote control of home appliances, although other brands of appliances also applies, this feature would be very useful.
The camera is actually the main function Note2 red rice, the use of a 13 million pixel camera, light-sensitive components are provided by Samsung and OV, although the pixel values did not seem surprised, but rare it that red rice Note2 use phase focusing technology. This technology has actually applied for several years, but had basically appear in high-end products, such as Samsung S6, OPPO R7, music 1 Pro, the main feature is the ability to achieve faster and more accurate focusing, especially in comparison dark scenes. The inner red rice Note2 thousand price is also the first products using the technology, there is a good advantage on the camera.
Also red rice Note2 camera is actually slightly prominent, the main reason is that sensitive components too large, and with naturally bring a better camera experience. At present, many manufacturers have achieved a balance in these two areas, but in fact to take into account not easy. If you want to do flat lens, it is bound to increase the thickness of the body; if you want a better camera experience, would inevitably lead to the lens components too thick, causing the lens to highlight. And for a thousand dollars cost-effective products, millet choose the latter naturally reasonable.
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
Red Rice Note2 in fuselage on selected removable plastic cover design, in addition to easy replacement MicroSIM card, also support the replacement battery (3060 mA), which is worth some surprises. But we also need to criticize here is that you can clearly see the motherboard inside the hood, or even ordinary hard plastic rear cover open, and this is the practice a few years ago thousands of machines, can feel significantly cheap feeling. The same level of charm in the back area of the Blue Note2 selection magnesium alloy skeleton support, although the user can not intuitively feel this, but millet is how much of the process of simplification regrettable process.
In addition, although the cover aspects of the use of plastic materials, but feel very good in fact, it should be added painting and soften millet processing, drawing on the back cover of millet 4i style. Visual and tactile far exceeds previous generations of products to enhance this aspect we really another surprise.
Also on the back cover Note2 red rice, in fact, the official pink, blue, black, yellow and other cover options, if along with a mobile phone to buy back cover together, you can enjoy 9.9 yuan discount. And while the front fuselage is black, but actually with them and not unexpected, however, and the true white / pink phone compared to naturally there will be a little different. In fact the cost of cover is not high, in the past manufacturers basically sold separately, or for certain commercial considerations, the selling price is not cheap, so the ancillary services millet indeed make us feel sincerity.
Advantages: the appearance and feel has improved significantly, removable back cover and replace the battery quite practical, colorful cover extra points.
Inadequate: design ideas have not changed much, the process should be further enhanced. Screen easy to leave fingerprints, the lens partially treated poorly.
Hardware Review: Meizu MX5 level presence
For thousands of conventional machine, we usually do not have too many of its processors expect, basically in the industry The common practice is limited by the upstream supply chain, we do not have much difference in terms of hardware. The red rice Note2 our surprise part is the use of MediaTek Helio (Xi force) X10 platform, with MT6795 series processor, which is also MediaTek most high-end mobile processor (security Bunny ran sub at about 51,000), plus the 1080p screen, 2GB of memory to run, 13 million pixels, etc., can be said to have red rice Note2 strongest lineup thousand price currently within.
Preparation: red rice Note2 Standard Edition uses MediaTek MT6795M clocked processor, high version 2.0GHz processor using the 2.2GHz MT6795T . “M” version is a major feature of MediaTek chips, can be seen as a low-equipped version, respect core clock speed, graphics, etc. will decline slightly from the standard version, but a lower cost of ownership. The distinction between MT6795M, MT6795 and MT6795T lies mainly in the three frequency and screen resolution support, consistent with other features section.
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
frequency version MT6795T frequency 2.2GHz, support levels 2K (2560×1440 pixels) screen resolution
Standard Edition MT6795 clocked at 2.0GHz, the level of support 2K (2560×1440 pixels) screen resolution
Standard Edition MT6795M clocked at 2.0GHz, the level of support FHD (1920×1080 pixels) screen resolution
About MediaTek MT6795 series of chips surely we are not unfamiliar, there are a variety of products using the chips, including Meizu MX5, music, as the phone 1, HTC One E9 +, Jin E8, among the lowest of music 1 phone priced at 1499 yuan, so that the red rice scary Note2 success down the positioning of this chip, and instantly make MediaTek Helio X10 platform becomes $ level chip, is likely to bring another round with the wave.
Despite the performance will not speak aside, I believe that many users will have this question, since the use of the chip’s other products targeting high-end, while the red rice Note2 has reached thousands of markets that MediaTek allow red rice do it?
actually address this issue and MediaTek communicated before us, and MediaTek said, Internal customers are treated equally on the perspective of the ultimate marketing strategy firm expressed understanding and respect. In fact, the implication is clear, MediaTek Keti supplied to each vendor’s chip unit price is the same (same purchases under), as related to how much to sell end products, entirely manufacturers themselves, even if you are selling 599 yuan MediaTek not interfere . So MediaTek chips only care about revenue and partnership, and will not interfere with manufacturer product level.
That being the case, would be leather red rice Note2 Whose life? These devices actually use mobile phones have their own characteristics, such as Meizu MX5 with fingerprint features, music 1 has a strong multimedia content, HTC One E9 + uses 2K screen, Jin E8 is equipped with 24 million pixels and the like, so do not conflict with one another. But really affected is undoubtedly popular mobile phone charm blue Note2 thousand price currently within both almost have the same attributes, but charm blue Note2 equipped with MT6753 processor performance is not as evident in the MT6795.
About MediaTek MT6795 chip before we have done a lot of testing, and then we might as simple review under this. The chip is the first true eight-core mobile processor running at 2.2GHz frequency, based on 28nm HPm process technology, using 8 Cortex-A53 core, and integrated Power VR G6200 graphics processors, also it includes dual channel LPDDR3 933MHz memory and supports LTE CAT4 level network rate, and has a dual ISP, 4K recording, fast charging (9V / 2A) and so on features, performance should not be underestimated.
In addition to MediaTek MT6795 supports FDD-LTE / TDD-LTE / WCDMA / TD-SCDMA / GSM network in the hardware, which is the so-called Mobile / Unicom double 4G, does not support China Telecom’s CDMA network, and does not support the current popular LTE-A and VoLTE, so red rice Note2 not support the telecommunications, of course, does not rule out the latter part of the introduction of telecommunications version (if available 615 words should also Xiaolong platform).
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
Performance section have done a lot of testing before we MediaTek MT6795T running points at 51,000 points or so, MT6795M at around 49,000 operational performance has been almost equal to the current high-end flagship. Graphics integrated Power VR GC6200 although some relatively weak, but basically can and Qualcomm Xiaolong 801 remain in the same team, it can be said is the most cost-effective flagship chip. The lowest price of red rice Note2 but for $ 799, so the performance is really value for money.
couplet MT6795T chip families interested users can view before we run sub-test, we again will not introduce cumbersome. Also MT6795M and MT6795T difference frequency on some scenes performance does have a certain gap, but did not affect their daily lives. (Run sub-test data derived from MediaTek MT6795T public version of the machine, different terminals may vary slightly, but the overall performance does not have much of an impact)
Advantages: MediaTek MT6795 excellent performance, operational performance comparison high-end chip, with the price of basic products in more than 1,500 yuan.
inadequate: the chip does not support the CDMA network, it does not support LTE-A and VoLTE, graphics performance is weak compared to other flagship chip.
MIUI 7 reviews: Chinese Good system
———————— ——- tab bar ——————————-
great phone In fact, software vendors are doing background, Apple is the best prove. And is often known as the “Chinese apple” is also based on MIUI millet system started from August 16, 2010 to now, MIUI version after seven iterations upgraded to a functional optimization known. And starting from MIUI 6, MIUI style changed dramatically following the popular flattening the user interface of the new design, the early days of the release of people left a deep impression, even people feel “This is a new The MIUI system. ” When
But first get equipped with a system of red rice MIUI 7 Note2, I believe there will be many users feel that way, why this is almost the same with the MIUI 7 6 MIUI? In fact in addition to the default wallpaper change unexpectedly, you do at the interface difficult to see changes due to gravity MIUI 7 visual interface is not the place, and did not do so relatively large changes in style, it is hard to detect MIUI 7 and from the graphical interface MIUI different 6.
▲ MIUI 6 ▲ MIUI7 lock screen lock screen
—————————– – Paging bar ——————————-
This is MIUI 6 and MIUI 7 of lock screen, in addition to replacement of the default wallpaper, it is difficult to see any other two are different. It is equally slide right into the smart home, left slide quickly open the camera.
▲ MIUI 6 desktop ▲ MIUI 7 desktop
But after I carefully identified, or was I found something different. The default theme, MIUI system font 7 6 finer than MIUI, color icons and more shallow compared to MIUI 6, although there is no big change, but it represents MIUI 7 has a further flattening of the trend. In addition, we now hand this red rice system version Note2 for MIUI 5.8.12 | Developer Edition, both in the lock screen or into the desktop after time status bar on the left will always show time desktop upper left Gadgets together somewhat illegal and. In MIUI 6, but it all has time gadget lock screen or desktop appears, the time display the status bar is hidden. I believe because of this version of the system has not been optimized in place, the development team is not intentional.
The upgrade focuses MIUI 7 of emphasis reflects the underlying optimization as well as several major functional upgrade, MIUI 7 after upgrading the application loading, switching speed and other aspects of the more obvious upgrade, then we to talk about a few major changes MIUI 7.
New version goddess, light extravagant version boys version, girl version of the four systems UI
▲ MIUI 7 Added four systems UI
In MIUI 7 conference start, Ray always talked about MIUI 7 system adds four UI: Goddess version girls version boys version, light extravagant version. And when you first get the phone, you can make a selection. And as everyone knows, styles, themes have been a huge number of systems are MIUI advantage of store shelves and in the subject theme is different, every detail of these four sets of systems are more refined UI, icons, wallpaper, color and so more coordination. For example goddess version of the application store is pink, and inspired checkered bag, adding a textured diamond grid, pull the details to this extent also really rare.
Add Fonts giant mode, supports global enlarge
In MIUI 7, the font set mentioned first level setting interface, and joined the “giant” fonts, support for global amplification. Global amplification means is that all the fonts in the system comes with the application will be magnified. This function may seem simple, but actually behind the development team was paying no small effort. “Big Mac” model is not as simple as the system font size, font larger after a particularly into a “giant” fonts, layout application interface is difficult to say will not be affected, thus the need for system application development teams each a redesigned interface. It did not appear the wrong word, overlapping and so on. Let’s look at the before and after application of contrast giant mode.
——————————- ———- tab bar ———————
▲ messaging interface applications giant before and after the font contrast
▲ jumbo font interface application notes before and after comparison
For this function, the majority of people might think, “and then the eggs,” but for us on the age of the parents of this generation of people, but really is significant, small series have personal experience. Not long ago at home, my mother let me put the home computer to transfer large font, say the word on the screen is too small children, could not see. A lot of people on the age of the vision, there have been problems, large or small, they are in the use of electronic products is what is difficult to share their feelings. But in such a small screen on the phone, before the “large” font it is still difficult to meet their needs. The emergence of MIUI 7 systems “giant” fonts make this problem has been alleviated to the maximum extent.
▲ MIUI 7 albums can be taken based on a person’s face intelligent packet
In addition to the above two feature updates, MIUI 7 systems support the purchase of 36 countries / regions data roaming service, directly issued local virtual SIM card. Friends often go abroad roaming charges abroad must know is surprisingly high, for there is a demand or potential demand of users, this can indeed be said to be a big plus, very convenient.
But we also want to especially recommend here is the use of millet also need to look at what you roam roaming countries and regions. For example, millet roaming tariffs for Taiwan is 300MB 25 yuan a day, but in fact the Taiwan local SIM card 100 yuan can be unlimited access seven days, apparently still more cost-effective to buy a local SIM card. But if it is in Hong Kong, you just go a day or two, then buy local SIM card basically have 30 or more, and millet roaming need only 10 yuan one day, that at this time but is millet roaming deal, it is recommended to use this feature Users in advance for comparison.
In addition MIUI 7 also uses face recognition technology, baby or pet photos will automatically go to an album, the easy to read and share. There is also a new feature is more fun calls show, in MIUI 7 contacts can set their own avatar, also uses millet phone users will automatically display when receiving your call to the head, and also supports motion video, playability is still relatively high.
more depth optimization, application open, switch faster, more fluid system
In addition to four new sets of UI and added a few big practical function, MIUI 7 also for the system response speed and the power to do a relatively deep optimization, the official said MIUI optimized after 7 on the system response speed by 30%, and can make the phone more than 3 hours per day. We first talk about MIUI 7 in improving system responsiveness are what to do. Under normal circumstances, when a user opens into the desktop in response to a load APP + data + window animation three steps. Two processes to load data and window animation MIUI 7 is carried out simultaneously, and then through intelligent scheduling based on user scenarios CPU, the CPU instantly when you need high performance speed running. Two-pronged approach, so that the application loading speed has been greatly enhance the level.
And this upgrade in actual use can be true sense. Get the machine in the hands of a few hours short, I was feeling equipped MIUI 7 system compared to red rice red rice Note2 Note on application loading speed really quickly. And because resource loading and animation are synchronized, the system fluency is also higher.
In addition, said Lei Jun, in standby, the phone system is not as it seems so quiet, 48 percent of power quietly in the background. Such as navigation software is still occupying state when not in GPS navigation and data network, APP news category also still continue networking. MIUI 7 500 for the most popular models APP individually set specific energy saving strategies, and strengthen alignment wake-up mechanism, shorten the length of the data network connection to reduce power consumption when the handset and base station connection link. For power, we will do the follow-up specialized test, if true thundering 7 MIUI life always said to extend 25%, yet to be verified.
Edit Comment: summary of what, the upgrade of MIUI 7 and not as the same as the previous version of MIUI 6 gives a “replacement” “Extreme Makeover” feeling. Although the system interface is not changed, but the new system added four sets of UI, added some useful features and MIUI 7 in faster system response speed, power optimization is still a relatively large upgrade. MIUI appear 7 although not before giving the MIUI V5 to MIUI 6 is so amazing, but this does MIUI 7 at the system level to do a lot more detailed underlying, and user experience are more closely related to optimization, and the effect is obvious. It can be said, to upgrade from MIUI MIUI V5 to look better after six, while upgrading from MIUI 6 to MIUI 7 is even more easy to use.

Review your camera: Compare charm blue Note2
Note2 red rice in terms of still camera Use a 13 million pixel camera (Samsung / OV respectively), with F / 2.2 aperture and a single LED flash. Although the camera side, red rice Note2 major hardware parameters and did not improve, but it is equipped with a phase focusing technology.
