We recently met with a smartphone Nous NS5006 review, and now tell you about the model NS5006. At first glance, the two devices have minimal differences, which is to increase the amount of RAM and battery. In fact, the difference is not so evident, and today we will understand – what exactly it is.
As NS5004, the smartphone Nous NS5006 review comes in a simple cardboard box. Inside are the charger 1 A cable, headphones, screen film for documentation and case.
Last, this time made of plastic instead of silicon. Its edges protrude considerably above the corners of the smartphone, so cover should protect the housing and the display at the falls.
DESIGN: SMARTPHONE NOUS NS5006 REVIEW
Nous NS5006 like his brother more affordable. The same rectangular shape of the housing and screen, which looks like an off-state display without frames. In fact, the framework in place, and they are wide enough, as with most budget smartphones.
The first thing you notice when you take into NS5006 hands after “younger” NS5004 – is feeling better smartphone. Of course, a comparison with the flagships can be no question, but still metal, not plastic back cover is good for perception model.
Another difference – more convenient locations of the connectors.
MicroUSB located below, and 3.5 mm – above. Volume on and adjustment buttons are located on the sides, comfortable. To assemble no complaints – all fitted tightly and no squeaks, despite the folding design with a removable cover and the battery.
To install two MicroSIM have to remove the battery and a MicroSD available “hot” replacement.
The smartphone is available in three body colors – silver, gold and pink.
DISPLAY: SMARTPHONE NOUS NS5006 REVIEW
The smartphone Nous NS5006 review has 5 inch IPS display resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels is set in Nous NS5006. It covers the glass on which the box is posted protective film, another replacement lies in the box.
The display brightness varies from 14.6 to 368 cd / m², contrast ratio measured – 1 to 630. There is an automatic brightness control sensor. The touch layer to recognize up to 5 simultaneous keystrokes.
Although the two displays Nous and similar characteristics, they differ in quality. In the more expensive NS5006 performed better calibration, wider dimming range.
Despite the fact that measurements of contrast are somewhat lower screen looks much better life.
The color temperature is a bit exaggerated, but in practice, it is not evident – colors are close to natural. The image is nice, it is better to read in the sun and under normal conditions.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PLATFORM: SMARTPHONE NOUS NS5006 REVIEW
The smartphone is based on MediaTek MT6737 chipset, complete with 16 GB of internal memory and 3 GB of RAM. In a separate slot, you can install a memory card of up to 128 GB.
The smartphone Nous NS5006 review – one of the most affordable vehicles with 3 GB of RAM on the European market. In life, it is an advantage compared to similar devices with 2 GB of “RAM”, the same NS5004, but we should not overestimate this feature. Yes, a little less necessary to observe reload frequently used applications and tabs in the browser, but the SoC is not too productive. Therefore, in severe problems, for example, in games, still have to rely on a maximum medium graphics settings (because of the GPU) and similar applications, in any case, will be a relatively long time to boot.
The rest of the unit normally shows itself in everyday use, it can be recommended to those who do not require their smartphone important task solutions.
The operating system is a “pure” Android 6.0 with a minimum of pre-installed applications – the standard solution for the majority of these devices. In some sense, it can be considered a small advantage over the popular budget models from other manufacturers.
WORKING HOURS: SMARTPHONE NOUS NS5006 REVIEW
The smartphone Nous NS5006 review is powered by a removable battery capacity of 2400 mAh. Compared with NS004, capacity increased by 20% (400 mAh). In practice, there have been minimal changes – smartphone operating hours with an average load, but at a heavy use relatively quickly discharged, it will be a noticeable drawback for users who are accustomed to during the day and watch videos, and play.
CAMS: SMARTPHONE NOUS NS5006 REVIEW
The smartphone Nous NS5006 review installed two cameras. The main resolution of 13 megapixels with autofocus and flash and front-facing 8 megapixels. Specifications, although we can not resemble the main camera NS5004 argued that identical modules are used in the devices. However, smartphones comparable photographed.
Quality recording apparatus does not shine. The simple camera suitable for use except under ideal conditions. With it will capture a static scene, take a picture of the ad or other text. Autofocus is slow, saving images is not very fast.
Front-end module is a little better in terms of resolution, the availability of a wide-angle optics – will make the normal selfie. The main thing, as in the case with the main camera, try to eliminate shaking.
New smartphone Nous NS5006 review – one of the most affordable smartphones with 3 GB of RAM on the European market. This feature makes the model a little more interesting, but we should not overestimate its importance. In fact, the machine is not so far away from the same NS5004 in terms of speed as we would like. It is better to pay attention to more interesting design, which is achieved through the use of a metal back cover and a higher quality display.
These changes are easy to “feel” and noted, and it is for them, the company asks for $20 more. In general, the overpayment would be worthwhile, only would like to see a little more and higher-quality camera and capacious battery.
At CES 2017 we have been seen and photographed Nokia smartphones, the announcement of which has not yet taken place. We are talking about the secret future flagship Nokia 8 made based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 835. The smartphone was introduced just at Qualcomm stands.

I know how this sounds, but we have a review of another leader from Xiaomi. The smartphone, which will be discussed today, caused a lot of good reviews from the press and more interest among technology fans. Indeed, the ceramic phablet with the minimal frame around the display, the flagship features, and gold inserts – sounds cool. But is it good for daily use as a release appears on the photographs? The first impressions of the phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review we recently shared, but this time let’s talk about it a little more detail, especially since we now have a top grade with 6 GB of RAM and a 256-gigabyte drive.
VIDEO FULL DETAILED REVIEW XIAOMI MI MIX
POSITIONING: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
If far from the topic of technology people get on Xiaomi’s website, he will not understand more likely, what kind of device is “important”, but first of all, it comes to hand phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review. The best available components are unlikely someone could surprise, and it is not important in this smartphone. It really is the flagship of which is additionally equipped with more than an inch in diagonal screen and wrapped in the exotic body.
But it is worth noting that the price of the device is much higher than the normal price tag for the top-end of the Chinese unit.
VIDEO OF THE PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX DROP TEST
PACKAGING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
Buying a gadget for almost $ 900 (the price of the top-end version in European shops at the time of writing material), you obviously want to get a nice box and a good delivery. On the first point, the company did not disappoint, the packaging corresponds to the premium segment. But the package may vary depending on the location of the gadget applications. With phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review, each buyer will get a charger, cable and clip, and even leather case depending on the region. In our case, the latter was not.
The first acquaintance with the smartphone traditionally begins with the removal of the protective films.
This is the first and last time, when the device is clean and free of fingerprints. In real conditions of use of fingerprints and fine fabric, pockets will cover a large gadget almost always. But it still looks impressive. And its setting is no different from the same Mi 5s, for example.
DESIGN AND USABILITY: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
I do not know what the result is like a company which goals put in front of this device, but to achieve strong WOW-effect, the developers were able to. Would phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review comfortable, made of aluminum, with a few large frames, even a special resonance would not call. But the minimum framework around a huge screen and a ceramic housing attracted attention to them as possible.
And yes, it is difficult to argue, phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review impression. If all attempts Sharp ( 1, 2, 3 ) to make a “frameless” smartphone, the model looked like an engineering sample, then Xiaomi a really nice gadget. Slightly rounded glass, glare faces mirror “back”, ceramics – all looks very cool. And expensive. Unfortunately, it looks like an exclusive sports car, where every day, and not a train, it is not so convenient. The same fate befell a beautiful and productive smartphone, Mi Mix.
The major difficulty with casing is placed in one arm. 158.8 x 81.9 x 7.9 mm – a smartphone can not be called a compact. The same iPhone 6-7 Plus in the bag has approximately the same dimensions. But phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review and without cover huge and slippery, and with a cover will be even greater. At the same time, wearing his briefcase without dangerous enough, because the fall drags along the broken body and is likely to damage the display. Scratches with fingerprints on the body will be less visible in the white version, which appeared at CES 2017 (originally there were two black models, which differ in the number of memory and gold rims around the camera and fingerprint sensor). It is also worth noting that ceramics is easily cooled and in winter on the street to keep Mi Mix very cold and not taking a high probability of dropping his gloves.
To all, the shape of the lateral faces, to raise it to any flat surface rather difficult and must be slightly prile chilis. Buttons could shift a little lower, at such a great gadget for them sometimes have to reach. Hitting a fingerprint scanner is not always coming out because it is adjacent to the camera and they have the same shape. It’s kind of like little things, but at the time of testing, they continually surfaced. But the biggest disadvantage is accidentally pressed, which now and then occur either outside the framework of the body at the time of interception. I have small hands and gadget often had to somehow “move” in his hand, which leads to unnecessary “clicks.”
So, let phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review and beautiful, using them is not very convenient. Even those who are accustomed to more devices, the inconvenience will be enough. I have had smartphones all sizes and shapes, but this is probably the most awkward of them (if you do not remember the first smartphone, but to talk about today). Even one of the most impractical, because it is a matter of time when it will be damaged. But do not complain to the assembly. Those who are satisfied with the size and characteristics of the housing, the rest will be satisfied.
When diagonal screens began to grow more than 4 inches seem hefty. Now 5.5″ are almost standard, and all that is less – a” compact “. New phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review is quite a droplet has not held up to the plate – 6.4 inches. This is great for watching videos, reading and browsing, but horrible to use, especially in the context of any limiting conditions (the same packet in his hand). And I will not be repeated for accidental contact.
Everything that relates to the picture, very much. The display covers almost 92% of the front panel and the frame around it are minimal. IPS-matrix excellent color reproduction and factory calibration causes no desire to change something. Due to the slightly elongated in comparison with other devices, matrix resolution, and aspect ratio of the unusual (2040 x 1080 pixels / 363-ppi, 17: 9), but the mapping interface elements or any application is not affected. The only moot point – rounded corners, that someone may not like. Personally, I’m satisfied with this step, because the picture is very aesthetically adapted to corners of the body.
That did not like, is the work of a light sensor. It is located below the display on the USB-ports level. Thus, it often overlaps the shadow of the hand, and then adjusted to the shadows, then ignore it. At the same time, he himself is not stable, even under favorable conditions for him. So it turned to adjust the brightness manually convenient. And the most illumination (slightly less than 500 nits) is quite enough to work in the sun.
This display is to blame for the fact that the smartphone is not fit into any pants pocket, but it is a payment for a large picture. The sensor responds well to touch (up to 10 simultaneous key presses) and had no problems with accuracy. So, if you fit the size of the gadget, then the use of the display does not cause any problems.
SOUND: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
The main speaker sounds good, suitable for the notification and tracking of the video. But his musical ability (as in general it can be applied to your phone), not impressed. But phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review received a DAC with support for audio format 24/192. My Ultimate Ears sound great on this smartphone and it is an advantage over other devices. Those who frequently listen to music a lot will be very happy with this gadget.
What else distinguishes Mi Mix strongly from competitors, it is the absence of the earpiece and proximity sensor. Naturally, the voice does not exclude. The device used sound transmission through ceramic technology. For the user, this means that the interlocutor they will hear from the speaker if under glass. You can hear in this well (even if you put the smartphone to your ear back), but in a quiet room, the conversation can hear strangers.
The effect, of course, unexpected. In the future, technology will evolve and improve. Perhaps the earpiece eventually disappears from all smartphones. So far, the experiment seems to be quite a work. Immediately and infrared proximity sensor, and ultrasonic. Triggered it is always accurate, for centimeter or two until it touches the ear. For white devices is obviously a big plus, because it turns on a “black spot” on the lower front panel.
HARDWARE PLATFORM AND SOFTWARE: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
The phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review Performance does not hold, but nothing surprising at the moment it does not. As it should be the flagship, the gadget has got quad-core Snapdragon 821 with a graphics core Adreno 530. The memory is available in two combinations: 4/128 and 6/256 GB. Then there are all the necessary wireless interfaces, including support for two Sim-cards and NFC. Globally, just did not have enough memory card, but the available options, built-in storage, it is unlikely to be a problem (except in certain cases). Performance, respectively, will be enough for any user.
In the daily work of all this is enough to support the stable operation of the Android 6.0.1 MIUI and 8. Standard launcher looks the same as other Xiaomi smartphones. This led me to use a third-party shell, as icons out and put them on your desktop too small for such a large screen.
It is necessary to accuse the company that’s already 2017 and the last Android knows a little more than 6.0.1. Immediately and can not ignore the flagships of its competitors, who provide a major smartphones additional functionality (stylus, screen split into two “windows”). Interface budget Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, for example, looks just like the leader, no extra features, and Mi Mix it would not hurt.
After some time with the gadget, with his work, I was pleased. During the tests, there were no troubles, sudden drop applications or anything else that might somehow spoil the experience (not only works the PCMark test autonomy, but this is not what the user is engaged in every day). A notable difference with cheaper Xiaomi at all the same, too, no problems.
AUTONOMY: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
It is obvious that with such a large screen size required the battery. Engineers have not missed this point in mind and equipped with smart phone battery capacity of 4400 mAh. And it has paid off: in my usage mode Exit defuse Mi Mix two days with 7.5-8.5 hours screen work. Predictably, at the time significantly affect navigation with GPS, but even so on the day of active use of the smartphone lacks.
Nice to be found in the specifications supporting fast charging QuickCharge 3.1. With this battery technology 4400 mAh fully charged in 2 hours. Adjusted for capacity, an excellent result. It is hoped that this will not affect the most battery life cycle.
CAMS: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
Weak spot “stuffing” smartphone steel chamber. If we take into account the fact that it is at the level of the flagships of the A-brands, we would like to receive and the appropriate camera, and she immediately especially no better than other cameras in Xiaomi. basic sensor resolution is 16 megapixels with an aperture of f / 2.0, phase autofocus and dual flash.
During the day, the photos are good as expected. When shooting static objects can not disable HDR, which give pleasant colors and richness of words more light in dark places without everything else. But in other contexts, the camera takes mediocre pictures with noise and other artifacts. The resulting video is virtually no different from the same in most smartphones average person. Image stabilization only software that respectively seen in the video and photos shot in low light.
The front camera with a resolution of 5 MP is also not very prominent. Because of its location in the lower right corner, the user will have a little twist smartphone every time he would do self. The pictures also highlight something difficult, but this camera is suitable for video.
From quite an expensive smartphone, I’d like image quality higher. This applies to both the main frame and the front camera.
PROS OF PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW: VERY UNUSUAL APPEARANCE; LARGE AND HIGH-QUALITY DISPLAY WITH A MINIMAL FRAMEWORK; PERFORMANCE; CAPACIOUS STORAGE; INTERESTING INNOVATIONS WITH THE EARPIECE AND PROXIMITY SENSOR; DAC; AUTONOMY; WOW-EFFECT CONS OF PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW: THE HOUSING AND THE DISPLAY MAY NOT SURVIVE THE FALL; BIG SIZES; SPEAKER; CAMERA; PRICE
CONCLUSION: PHONE XIAOMI MI MIX REVIEW
New phone Xiaomi Mi Mix review is a very interesting experiment. It uses unusual in today’s technology, but its design makes a strong WOW-effect even on those who are not very interested in the technology. Also it is all right with the performance and autonomy of cool. Alas, the possibility of its cameras can discourage mobile photography enthusiasts. Moreover, the gadget is very fragile and it definitely needs a protective cover, which hides and ceramics will make the device thicker. From this part of the lost original gadget pocket will require more usual for him. The mass device will not exactly, but who wish to obtain an unusual smartphone to it is clearly supervision.
