Game phone special comparison: Red Magic VS Black Shark, who wins? -part 4

Red Magic VS Black Shark, how about the actual experience of both games?

During the test, both phones had game mode turned on, the above game quality options were all set to the highest, and GameBench was used to record the game's frame rate changes.

In the end, we found that the gaming performance of the two mobile phones can't be separated by too big a gap in the mobile games that require relatively low hardware configuration. However, in the face of two mobile games with more stringent hardware performance requirements, the two have some differences in game performance, the Red Magic's frame rate performance is not as stable as the Black Shark. After eliminating factors such as system optimization, hardware (storage), and statistical errors, and after several days of actual experience and repeated frame rate comparisons, we finally thought that the performance of Xiaomi Black Shark in games was better than Red Magic since it was more stable. In the game, the Red Magic have a little bit of a lag, while the Black Shark is less likely to have this situation when manipulating the characters, dragging the perspective, over the wall, and driving the vehicle. We believe that the reason for this difference in experience is that, in addition to the differences in the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and 845 chips, it may be related to the built-in high-sensitivity touch mode and the built-in independent graphics processing chip of the Xiaomi Black Shark.

In addition, with the help of matching handles, the overall gaming experience of the Black Shark mobile phone will be better than that of the Red Magic. In addition to the problem of customizing the shoulder keys, the responsiveness and manipulation of the physical joysticks have given the Black Shark’s gaming experience a distinct advantage.

Game phone special comparison: Red Magic VS Black Shark, who wins? -part 3

In terms of unlocking, the design of the two is different. Red Magic uses a fingerprint recognition scheme on the back. Its fingerprint recognition is set in a hexagonal groove at the bottom of the camera; while Black Shark uses the design method of frontal fingerprint recognition and the Home key - Place back key and multi-tasking key (can be set to swap). In addition to fingerprint recognition and camera differences, the Red Magic and the Black Shark have a different point on the back - lights. The Red Magic offers a 16.8 million color RGB strips on the back of the phone. This allows Red Magic OS to display skylines, rainbow bands, laser waves, and rhythm lights when it starts e-sports mode, receives notifications, and charges and plays audio and video. Four kinds of optional lighting effects (such as changing with the sound rhythm) can be chosen. In contrast, Black Shark has only a single green Logo light. Of course, what kind of design is more likable is a matter of opinion.

In the design for games, the Red Magic and Black Shark all joined the game mode exclusive switch button, the Red Magic placed it on the top of the right side, while the Black Shark placed it in the middle of the left side. From a functional and interactive point of view, I personally prefer the Xiaomi Black Shark game mode. In terms of functionality, in addition to the anti-misoperation, network optimization, cleanup background, and notification masks that everyone has, Black Shark also provides a dedicated game interface, AI assistant, information screen hang, game dock bar, game duration statistics, and many more. In terms of visual interaction, the Xiaomi Black Shark is also more eye-catching, whether it is the exclusive interactive interface in the game mode or the exhalation of the game dock bar is more elegant and convenient.

In addition, Black Shark also provides a matching handle with rocker and two custom keys that can quickly connect the phone and adapt to most games, which Red Magic does not have. Another thing I forgot to say is that the heat dissipation of both phones is excellent.

Redmi S2: selfie, appearance, cost-performance -part 2

A generation of God level processor, Redmi S2 performance

As to performance, Redmi S2 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor with a frequency of 2.0Ghz, low allocation version of 3GB storage +32GB storage space, high-profile version of upgraded to 4GB+64GB storage space, built-in 3080mAh battery, running MIUI 9 operating system based on Android 8.1. Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 is officially known as a generation of god level processor, of course, this does not mean that this Soc can be distinguished in performance. The official details show that many models have been used in this Soc, from Huawei Nova to Nut Pro, from the Blackberry Keyone to Nubia V18, even Xiaomi's own Xiaomi Max 2, Redmi Note 4x, etc., have used this since the release of the processor in 2016. The continuous selection of numerous models proves the vitality of this Soc.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, using A53 eight-core design, its single-core frequency up to 2.0GHz, 14nm FinFET process, while the GPU part is Adreno 506. Supports up to 24 megapixels camera, 4K video capture, support fast charging technology. The overall operation of games is still acceptable.

AI camera, self-portrait effect

Taking pictures, especially self-portraits, is another aspect of Redmi's efforts to improve the pain points. 16 megapixels front camera, comes with soft lights and automatic HDR effect, the self-shot camera hardware is powerful. At the same time, using AI technology to take photos of blurred background images, you can better identify the background before and after, get more accurate blur effect. In the dark light environment, Xiaomi Redmi S2 also supports 2m large pixels with four-in-one photosensitive pixels. From the perspective of blurring effect, the Redmi S2 clearly identified the part of the finger edge and was not falsely blurred.

The sum up

From the price point of view, Redmi S2 absolutely abide by Lei Jun's "Xiaomi hardware comprehensive profit rate will never exceed 5%", and the appearance and good selfie performance, coupled with the MIUI system's strong integration capabilities, so that Redmi S2 is still in a nearly leading position. By winning the first impression with the selling price, and then attracting female consumers with self-portraits and appearance, the Redmi S2 is really accurate under this move.

Redmi S2: selfie, appearance, cost-performance -part 1

If the target model of the Xiaomi 6X is a product of a price range of 2,500-3,000 yuan, then the Redmi S2 will target the competing product with a price range of 1,500-2,500 yuan. Since the birth of the Redmi mobile phone, the term “price ratio” has always been inseparable from it. This time the Redmi S2 is no exception. Redmi S2 starting at 999 yuan, this price gives it enough emboldened. However, ignoring price factors, the Redmi S2 also has a reasonable amount of rational thinking in the face of the complicated offline market. According to the official survey conducted by Xiaomi, there are three major factors that consumers have taken into consideration when purchasing offline. They are appearance, performance, and photographing. If it can be done well in these three areas, coupled with the influence of the Xiaomi brand and the price of the Redmi model, the Xiaomi Redmi S2 does indeed have the potential to enthrone the market.

Then, we will start from these three aspects and judge the value of Redmi S2 one by one.

Body shape looks fine, no obvious short board

First look at the appearance, the Redmi S2 is a little more like the Xiaomi 6X. The metallic back shell has a curved antenna with a design sense. Even the willow curve that had been rendered before was translated to the Redmi S2 body without any reservation. The front screen of 18:9 is the standard of the mid-range models, and Redmi S2 also has it. Limited by the price, Redmi S2's screen resolution is only 1440x720 pixels. The upper and lower edges of the screen are similar to those of the Xiaomi 6X, and the body looks and feels symmetrical.

In detail, the dual-camera on the back of the Redmi S2 predominantly uses a vertical layout similar to that of the iPhone X, with the camera slightly protruding outward. The fingerprint identification button is located in the upper middle of the back, and the operation of the fingerprint recognition button is very convenient. In terms of appearance, the Redmi S2 as a whole shows a mature, tough, chic style.

Game phone special comparison: Red Magic VS Black Shark, who wins? -part 2

Excluding the difference in storage and storage capacity, from the perspective of other hardware configurations, the Xiaomi Black Shark mobile phone uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, an independent graphics processing chip, dual camera, frontal fingerprint recognition, and a 4000 mAh battery capacity design. We used the ANTUTU to test the performance of two mobile phones for your reference. In terms of running points, the Black Shark equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 has about 27% better CPU performance than the Red Magic with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, and the GPU has about 27% better performance. This data is more in line with Qualcomm's official performance. The advertised Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 has a 24%~30% performance increase over 835.

However, since the performance of the Snapdragon 835 has been able to meet the requirements of most games with full picture quality, the performance gap between the two does not represent their actual game experience. Let's take a look at the "being born for the game". What designs do they bring?

In the era when the glass body and the back of the arc started, the Red Magic and Xiaomi Black Shark with uneven backs were more like two "different". If you look closely, you will find that they all have a similar design, that is, they all use a type X design language on the back of the mobile phone. The former is similar to Razer in color and design style; The water chestnut design and RGB light strips of the latter are a little “tribute” to Alienware's taste.

The same design language has brought about the difference in thickness that can be seen with the naked eye in order to balance the touch and join the cooling technology and materials. Judging from the actual perception and grip, the Black Shark mobile phone is definitely a little thicker than the Red Magic. However, the weights of the two are equivalent, one is 185g (Red Magic) and the other is 190g (Black Shark).

Game phone special comparison: Red Magic VS Black Shark, who wins? -part 1

In addition to the "full screen" and photographing, the game phone is another important new arena. One of the interesting phenomena is that, nowadays, the "game mode" that can block message notifications and easily answer incoming calls has gradually become a standard function for mobile phone manufacturers in the UI. Even some new models have been derived from the game interface. In addition to the "addition" on the interaction, many mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to actively cooperate with chip makers and mobile game developers for game optimization in order to bring a better gaming experience to their models.

But compared to these, the sudden emergence of Razer Phone, Black Shark Mobile Phone, Nubia Red Magic and other mobile phones seems to make people realize that the gaming mobile phone has a sign of “rejuvenation”. After all, the appearance, hardware, and features of these game phones have emerged from the beginning of design as if they were for games. Take a look at Razer Phone's 120Hz high refresh rate screen, and look at the Black Shark's enthusiast-grade configuration and the matching handles to see the Nubia Red Magic four cooling technologies and the 16.8 million color RGB light strips... every bright spot, it seems that It is enough to make game enthusiasts excited, but based on these literal functions alone, it is difficult for us to judge whether these flagships who claim to be “born for the game” are worthy of their name. Therefore, we have selected the recently released Xiaomi Black Shark and the Nubia Red Magic and made a special evaluation of the game. Who will be better in the end?

Red Magic VS Black Shark, configuration comparison

It should be noted that the two game smartphones we got this time have different storage and storage capacities, of which the Nubia Red Magic are 8GB+128GB and the Black Shark is 6GB+64GB, but they are sold at the almost same price level.

This time the low-profile version may focus on the online market.
