11 hours of continuous game red rice 3S battery life test

Red Rice 3S is an upgraded version of Red Rice 3. It was released on the official website of Xiaomi on June 14th. Although Xiaomi did not hold a new product launch for rice flour and media, it does not mean that Red Rice 3S is just a pure replacement product. Xiaomi President Lei Jun invited Wang Ziru to interact with netizens in the live broadcast of Xiaomi last week. According to the live broadcast, the Red Rice 3S not only inherited the design of the Red Rice 3, but also added a fingerprint recognition function at the price of 699 yuan. At the same time, the chip also upgraded to a better power consumption and better performance of the Dragon 430. Processor platform.

I believe users who know Red Rice 3 know that although it has a compact body, the screen is only 5 inches wide. However, the interior is equipped with high density and high capacity batteries up to 4100mAh. Therefore, it also has the ability to surpass the same level of product life. The Red Rice 3S not only inherited this big selling point, but also equipped with the Xiaolong 430 processor with lower power consumption and the MIUI 8 system for continuous deepening of power saving. Theoretically, its endurance capacity has been further improved. So what is the endurance of the Red Rice 3S? Is it as good as its parameters? I believe you can understand this by reading this article.

The first thing to mention is that the Snapdragon 430 processor on the Redmi 3S supports Quick Charge (QC) 3.0 fast charging technology (red rice 3 only supports QC 2.0). Power adapters that use the QC3.0 specification support input voltages of 100-240V and have better compatibility. In addition, its output voltage can be increased in 200mV increments, providing a flexible choice from 3.6V to 20V. In contrast, QC2.0, it only provides 4V charging voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V and 20V, which is slightly inferior to the former. More flexible voltage regulation can reduce the power consumed by the resistors, reduce heat generation, and increase battery life.

Below the test battery life, the author first conducted a charge time test.

By testing the data we obtained, the red rice 3S spent a total of 2 hours and 35 minutes from 0% to 100%. The entire charging process is divided into two phases, of which the entire charging process is faster before 90% of the power, and the battery power is already charged to 90% in less than 2 hours. From 90% after entering the trickle charge stage, the charging time slowed down, and 10% of the electricity spent a total of 35 minutes.

Charging speed test summary:

Although about 2 and a half hours of charging time, it is relatively long compared to similar mobile phones. However, because the red rice 3S uses a large battery capacity of 4100mAh (similar to the basic 3000mAh below), full use of electricity for a day, until the night can basically guarantee the continuous power to sleep. Therefore, if you consider everyday use scenarios, you should power on your mobile phone at night before going to bed. It will certainly be full in the morning when you wake up. Therefore, the charging time is not important. The important thing is whether or not you can use continuous power for one day.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Red Rice 3S does not come standard with a power adapter that supports fast charging. According to the Max battery life test before Xiaomi, we have verified that if you use a fast charging adapter to charge, you can save about half an hour of charging time. If you are pursuing the charging speed, we recommend purchasing the millet mobile power supply 2 (fast charging is supported), or purchasing a power adapter that supports fast charging from the Xiaomi official website.

Five-hour battery life test

In order to test the real life of the Red Rice 3S, after the Red Rice 3S was fully charged, a total of five usage scenarios were specified for one-hour testing to check the final remaining power. I test the project and the test environment as shown below.

Red Rice 3S battery life test results (line chart)

From the test results, the red rice 3S's endurance is outstanding. After 5 hours of testing, Red Rice 3S only lost 24% of power, that is, according to this intensity of use, it takes 20 hours to fully consume the battery power. If you remove 8 hours of sleep, then 1 day is completely stress free.

From the line chart, we can see that the red rice 3S online linking WIFI to watch the video consumes only 6% of power in one hour, and only 9% of power consumption in one hour of game. The consumption of power in one hour Weibo WeChat accounted for 7%. From the data point of view, when you fully charge Red Rice 3S, you can watch a 16-hour drama; or play the 11-hour royal war; or brush 14 hours of Weibo. It is believed that the mobile phones that have such a strong endurance ability are rare. Moreover, the Red Rice 3S sells for only 699 yuan, so I am very surprised.

Red rice 3S long standby test

Test summary:

To sum up, the reason why the red rice 3S's endurance ability is so outstanding is mainly four factors.

1, Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor power control is excellent;

2, 5 inch 720P screen is more power efficient than large screen or high score screen;

3, 4100mAh high-density high-capacity battery;

4, MIUI 8 power-saving optimization excellent;

For Thousand Yuan Machine, consumers mostly prefer the excellent and enduring life, compact and practical models, and the positioning of Red Rice 3S just fits in with it. And red rice 3S also has a smooth and powerful MIUI, all-metal body design, full Netcom 4G features, fingerprint recognition and more. If you are choosing a thousand model, then red rice 3S will be a very good choice.
