The mobile phone packaging box still maintains the simple design of the millet products, with the MI logo-like logo printed on the front, and the slim font on the side indicates that there is a millet 5c in the box. The back of the box is printed with the relevant configuration information, you can see Xiaobian hand this millet 5c mobile version has 3GB of memory, independent research and development of the Pinecone S1 processor is very eye-catching.
The items in the box are also very simple, a Xiaomi 5c mobile phone, data cable, charger and pick-up pin attached to the manual. Simple packaging can avoid unnecessary costs, allowing more resources to focus on the phone configuration.
As can be seen from the charger specifications, Xiaomi 5c supports 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A fast charging. The interface equipped with the Type-C standard is compatible with the models that support fast charging in the market.
Hardware parameters
In terms of hardware configuration that most users are concerned about, Xiaomi 5c is equipped with its own R&D 澎湃S1 eight-core A53 processor, which uses a 4×2.2GHz+4×1.4GHz size core and is equipped with 3GB RAM+64GB ROM.

Appearance: Light and compact, detailed workmanship
The appearance design of Xiaomi's mobile phone can be said to be relatively non-mainstream among domestic manufacturers. It does not mean how unique the model is, but there is no clear family design language between each generation of products or different models of the same series. Millet 5c's design looks a bit of a public face, but the exquisite craftsmanship is unexpected.

The front of the millet 5c is equipped with a 5.15-inch full HD screen, accurate color reproduction, the screen performance is very delicate. As the left and right borders are made very narrow, plus the rounded look of the 2.5D arc glass, the front face value of this millet 5c is very bright, and the sleek and slender body looks very light.
At the top of the screen is an earpiece and an 8 megapixel front camera, and a notification light is hidden near the edge of the fuselage in the upper right corner. The curvature of the screen-protective glass is not very high, but the feeling of touch-sliding is very smooth and smooth, and it is also more comfortable to fit the palm.
Underneath the fuselage is equipped with a slender physical Home key and touch keys that can be customized around, at first glance looks a little millet 5 feel, may use the same set of materials in the supply chain. The Home button also supports touch functionality. The user can define different uses for touch and press actions in the key settings.
The elongated physical Home key slightly protrudes from the surface of the fuselage, the fingerprint unlocking response is relatively agile, and the recognition speed and accuracy are no different from the competition product, but the pressing feel is somewhat general.
The design of the back of the fuselage is a relatively unique place for the millet 5c. Although it is still a traditional three-stage design, the upper and lower parts use the popular glass mosaic process of the Android camp, especially in the bright black color, glass and metal. The splicing looks very unity, and the different materials look very harmonious.
The rear 12 megapixel main camera is covered by a complete glass material. It looks simple and one-piece. The strobe and the glass material have a plastic ring for the isolation of light, which can effectively prevent the light interference caused by the light transmission of the glass. , taking into account the design of aesthetics and practicality.
The matte texture of the metal back plate material brings a good grip feeling, but the common problem of the bright black body makes the back side very easy to become a fingerprint collector. In addition, some users who received the machine in the previous period were relatively fragile in the upper and lower glass materials, so Usually wearing a sleeve for a mobile phone is a good choice.
The bottom is equipped with a Tpye-C interface that supports a 9V/2A fast charge. The left and right microphone and speaker openings use an asymmetrical design that looks even simpler. The top is a 3.5mm headphone jack, noise reduction microphone and infrared emission module. The opening work of the whole machine is very delicate, there is no sense of roughness of the thousand yuan machine.
Millet 5c only has a body thickness of 7.09mm, and it looks very thin on the side. The weight of 135g does not feel pressure on the hand. The battery capacity is limited to the size of 2860mAh because of the thin body, compared with the same positioning model is a bit small, but the fast charge to a certain extent to make up for the inconvenience of a small battery.
The right side of the fuselage has a power button and a volume button. The feedback of the buttons is moderate and does not feel difficult or too loose. On the left is the SIM card slot, which supports two Nano-SIM cards.
In terms of appearance, Xiaomi 5c made a difference with the familiar elements. Although people pay more attention to its processor than the appearance, but have to say that this millet 5c in the performance of the value and workmanship, have exceeded many models of the same price range.
Hardware articles: Is it really awkward?
The reason rice 5c has such a high status in rice noodles is that it is equipped with the first Xiaomi self-developed processing chip “澎湃S1â€. This positioning middle-end SoC adopts a 4+4 eight-core architecture and consists of 4 A large 2.2GHz A53 core and four 1.4GHz A53 small core components, graphics chip Mali-T860 MP4 program.
Although the chip process stays at the 28nm HPC+ process, the actual performance of the S1 can still be matched with the mid-range Xiaolong 625 and Unicorn 655. Let's take a look at the performance of the Xiaomi 5c equipped with the new processor.
Starting from the most intuitive running points, Xiaomi 5c scored 57,729 points on Ann Bunny, among which the 3D performance score was 18,871 points. There was not much difference between the overall score and the 60,000-point level of Xiaolong 625, but in terms of graphics processing There are some minor advantages. GeekBench has a single-core score of 648 points and a multi-core score of 2297 points, which is consistent with the performance of the current mid-end Soc.
In the actual game experience, it can be seen that in the balanced mode, there are two large cores in the millet 5c in a dormant state, and the core frequency will not be very high. However, thanks to the strong GPU, playing "NBA2K16" in balanced mode is also relatively smooth, but there are still some gaps compared with the flagship model.
After the performance mode is turned on, the two sleeping large cores are activated and the core frequencies are increased. From the perspective of the CPU core scheduling, the eight cores of the S1 are sharing work, and there is no case of "one core is difficult and seven cores are on the scene."
In the "Glory of the King", the performance of the S1 seemed to be more than adequate. There was no apparent Caton and downswing in the first round of war. The average number of frames was maintained at around 29 FPS. After a long period of operation, there was no apparent fever. sense.
The actual use experience, Xiaomi independent research and development of the S1 still play a good standard, to meet the user's daily use needs, usually playing online games, basically no problem.
As the first SoC of Xiaomi's self-developed research and development, S1 basically reached the expected design goal and accumulated valuable research and development experience. Whether Xiaomi will launch a flagship SoC in the future is really looking forward to.
System: Meet the more beautiful MIUI8
System, millet 5c is still equipped with the MIUI system we are very familiar with, with their own processor use, will there be an unexpected addition? Let's take a look.
Lock screen pictorial features are basically every domestic model, but in the excellent face value of the millet 5c, still give you the impulse to light up the screen to see the two.
There is no difference between the system interface and the previous millet phone, and the slide is very smooth. The smooth experience of MIUI makes you almost forget the hardware parameters, the interaction logic is easy to understand, and it is very easy to use.
The infrared transmitter module equipped at the top of the fuselage supports the function of remote control. Through simple settings, the user can use the mobile phone to remotely control the electrical appliances in the home and Mijia equipment without looking for the remote control one by one. It is very practical in daily life.
Millet 5c is not equipped with an NFC module, which may cause users who already rely on the NFC function of the millet wallet to feel regret. However, the function of the millet wallet is still very comprehensive. It supports bracelet payment and fingerprint payment, making mobile payment more convenient.
The Security Center provides the system with the functions of cleaning acceleration and security protection. The system will automatically enable real-time payment protection while using payment software to protect the user's property and information security.

Millet 5c is equipped with the "Sleeker Eye" IMX378 sensor in the 5s on the millet, with 12 million effective pixels, equipped with dual ISP and F/2.2 aperture, support for PDAF phase focus, the front is equipped with 8 million pixels The camera, in general, is still more sincere.
The camera interface is a simple millet style, the basic functions are relatively complete, so it is not difficult to get up and running, the performance of the focus speed under the blessing of the PDAF focus is fairly good, the focus of the capture more accurate.
From the actual proofs, Xiaomi 5c's 12-megapixel main camera still has a very good performance in the fineness of the screen. The color of the screen is full and full, but it will not be too glamorous. When you capture some natural scenery, it will look more seductive. Ideal for sharing on social apps.
The blur effect of the depth of field caused by F/2.2 aperture looks very pleasing. The resolution of 12 million pixels is enough to record the detailed texture of the object. The PDAF phase focus can accurately focus on the object under macro shooting.
Back to the south of the sky, the sky in Guangzhou is filled with a layer of white water vapor, which is also a test of the imaging capabilities of the rear camera. From the proof point of view, the proofs taken out by the millet 5c in the foggy weather are relatively bright, and the details of the screen are kept in place. The performance in the same price model is still relatively good.
In the photo test at night, the performance of Xiaomi 5c is also satisfying. Especially in the mobile phone with a thousand dollars earlier, the night shot can be seen much less, the proofs appear clearer, and the edge of the object is sharp. , without optical image stabilization requires a certain night shooting skills.
Sample Appreciation
From the level of imaging, the sample performance of Xiaomi 5c is still somewhat different from that of the main camera model. However, comparing with the model with the same price, the Xiaomi 5c equipped with IMX378 sensor can still stand out from the crowd and meet daily needs. Photographing needs is basically not a problem.
