Do not forget the beginning of the heart always, Meizu MX6 ordinary road

No background story evaluation is not a good evaluation

I believe that each old Charm and MX series has a history of love and hate. I started to use Meizu phones from M9, and after that, almost every generation of the MX series has bought. The name MX was originally intended to pay tribute to Meizu's once glorious MP3, and also placed its own dream of creating a fine mobile phone. Why is it not possible to buy Meizu after graduation from a school? We must know that the price of 2499 was not cheap at the time. Every year, it was quite extravagant for me at the time.

The original environmental resistance screen is still the mainstream configuration, the street arcade or NOKIA 5330, Apple has just released the iPhone 4 and the country has not yet sold, you can only buy parallel imports, for the large-screen touch screen at that time only play too much Puda (HTC's original The vested me, the touch screen smart phone not only made me excited, but its poor poked screen experience also made me unable to love it. But at that time, the capacitive high-definition touch screen used by the Meizu M9 made me fall into a sudden collapse. The resolution of the capacitive screen plus friendly UI interaction is absolutely a god machine at that time. Can you remember when the Meizu mobile phone started its hot scene report? ! This is the background of the MX series.

After the M9 was placed high hopes MX from the birth of a marked imprint of innovation ahead, then only Apple can learn, but the Meizu in order to get rid of the outside world plagiarism Apple design sound has been trying to create their own design language, the first generation The narrow borders on the MX, milk keys (I always call it, the entity's convex small round HOME key) are controversial but they are all eye-catching. The MX2's newly unveiled small circle, 16:10 custom widescreen, Meizu's innovation began to bottleneck when the MX3, the market competition is becoming more intense, but the MX3 in addition to a larger body, and no unforgettable design. Meizu's artisan spirit is challenged by the market competition. Meizu itself brewing changes and began to accept the intervention of capital. MX4 returns to the mainstream of 16:9 screen, the processor is no longer using Samsung to MediaTek, Huang Zhang retreat behind the scenes, MX series began its first transformation and exploration, MX4 starting price dropped to 1999, in order to market launch MX4 Pro Although in the eyes of the user, the MX4 Pro failed, but its pre-fingerprint recognition, Hi-Fi, and some metal fuselage all indicated the direction for the Meizu cell phone.

The MX5 is the first Meizu product to be built after the infusion of capital dynamism. The intensive and mesmerizing Meizu began a bombardment with a crazy conference. In just one and a half years, the Meizu product line from top to bottom was PRO, MX, and Charm Blue ( Subdivided into Charm Blue and Charm Blue note), and the release of MX6 also opened a new chapter in the Meizu mobile phone. At the same time, the MX series that once shined also faded away from the halo. It was designated as the midrange series (a good spot is called the second flagship). This article is about the MX6 that goes to the ordinary road.

The box is no longer the classic dream book style, this may also mean the landing of the dream, the box for the host, fast charge, Type-C data cable, card pin (forged out of the manual and warranty card)

Evaluation mode open, it turns out that there is no routine evaluation is not a good evaluation

Appearance screen hardware analysis and comparison

The tested MX6 has a test machine (SAMPLE) printed on the box, so it is not guaranteed to be exactly the same as the production machine (possibly only). The color of my random hand is moonlight silver, and if it is black, I should have more Kaisen. 4G RAM with 32G ROM standard version, official website pricing 1999.

The appearance of the MX6 is a summary of the Meizu mobile phone after the MX5 was released. The biggest change is that the signal band no longer uses the T slot, and the new design of the PRO6 adopts a one-size-fits-all nano injection molding process. The back of the whole body feels smooth and consistent, and there is no longer Split feeling, more refined, personal feel better than the iPhone6's antenna design. It is said that the iPhone 7 that will be sold next month will also adopt a similar design. There is no point in the apprentice's rush to attack the master. At least I think this is a good start.

The one-size-fits-all design gives me the most intuitive feeling that the two parts of the signal band are no longer subject to chromatic aberration. The T-slot segmentation part of the PRO5, MX5, and note3 is to use a plastic spray metal paint to maintain the impression of the metal, but ultimately the material is different. It can be seen that there is a difference, PRO5 lacquer is undoubtedly much higher and has not lost the paint, but the charm blue note3 plastic spray paint part of the thousand yuan machine has begun to wear out paint. Metal body in the MX6 finally no longer discounted, the upper and lower parts are all metal, MX6 this back you deserve to figure out.

The camera of the MX6 was zoomed out and the position was slightly shifted downwards. It was not as obvious as the PRO5's bulging, and it turned out that the big eyes are nothing more than nothing, and there is no noticeable improvement in the quality of the photographs. The unique ring flash on the PRO6 was removed on the MX6. The current round flash does not have laser focusing hardware.

In addition to the card slot outside the side of the position is almost the same, power supply volume key process feedback force and PRO5 and note3 blind press is not much difference, but the key when the sound generated by the MX6 is the smallest, constantly improving the details is still very MX.

Positive, this request is hard for me, really not the same as note3. Symmetrical forehead and chin proportions are the same. Only the fingerprint unlocked mTouch button appears to be more slender, and the high-cut edge on the PRO5 is wider and the metal texture is stronger. The note3 does not use the high-gloss trimming, and the MX6 is The cut is very fine, more introverted, more refined, and then look back at the PRO5's large metal cut edge always feels revealing a sub-looker, MX6 started Meizu machine mentality began to change, no longer deliberately prove their stuff How good is it, and more concerned with the actual user experience. The advantage of this small cut edge is that the curved screen and the border are more smooth and comfortable.

The thickness of 7.25 mm is the same as the PRO6's thinnest Meizu cell phone. Compared with the 7.5 mm PRO5 and the 8.2 mm charm blue note3, the thickness is clearly thinner in the hand, and the earphone hole is changed to the bottom without continuing. Note3's full-symmetry design, of course, personally feel completely symmetrical is of course good, but too quest for symmetry as Luo teacher like quite a bit out of the devil, compared to the symmetry is easy to use more practical.

The MX6 is the first MX mobile phone to be configured with the Type-C interface. Now the mainstream mid-to-high end has started the general Type-C interface. It is naturally a small advantage to worry about positive and negative insertions, but the Type-C supports higher current output. Faster data and broader development prospects are worth changing.

The above figure is a view of the Type-C OTG connected to the Type-C mobile hard disk. You do not need to transfer the data directly to read the data in the hard disk. A data cable with Type-C on both ends is enough.

On the left (note3) is the conventional Meizu and or card slot design, the right is the MX6 dual nano slot, no longer supports memory card expansion, but fortunately the MX6 start is a capacity of 32G, enough for most users, indicating that Personal attitude, all 16G mobile phones are rogue, just like the original 8G version of some manufacturers, all APPs are becoming more exquisite and huge while 16G already stretched. Of course, users who are not ready to use the camera or take photos with the camera are not included here.

The new machines released by Meizu in 2016 all support Netcom, and current trends and policies also tend to be full of Netcom. The full Netcom of MX6 supports China Unicom as a debit card when the 3G (LTE+WCDMA dual standby) network standby, dual card blind insertion, VoLTE, TDD carrier aggregation These are not lacking, my main telecommunications, China Unicom's deputy card, the current week to answer the phone experience and no slot.

In terms of hardware configuration, SoC (the abbreviation of highly integrated mobile phone chip) adopts this year's popular MediaTek Heilo X20, clocked at 2.3GHz, plus the MX6 has just three Heiro X20 phones, and the other two are Le2. And 360 N4, but from the heating point of view, MX6 compared to the same two other X20 fever to be a lot milder, I think this is mainly due to two reasons, the hardware on the internal thermal layout is better, the software on the Flyme optimization in place.

Performance Heilo X20 positioning in MediaTek is second only to the X25, while the X25 is only slightly higher frequency up to 2.5GHz, but this U's biggest slot is weak GPU performance, if you compare Qualcomm's 820 in the CUP performance The gap is not large, and both are not at a single stall in GPU performance. More importantly, the 14nm process technology of Qualcomm 820 is ahead of the 20-nm Heilo X20, which widens the gap between the two SoCs.

Ann Bunny ran about 90,000 points, a comprehensive ranking of 18, the top three has reached 14,000 points, almost all Qualcomm Xiaolong 820, but points to open the first one plus 3 data will be found in the comparison There is only a small difference between the two in terms of related performance, but it is only three times as many as the GPU graphics processing-related aspects. But if you are like me, the demand for the game is not extreme, then these two chips will not have obvious differences in daily use. The MX6 multi-tasking switch is very smooth and no less PRO5.

When it came time to tell a story

If you ask me why Meizu does not choose Qualcomm 820? Then you are too young too sample. It is Meizu's style that does not follow the unusual way. However, the truth is that JW and Qualcomm were not very happy in the patent licensing. The young Meizu people did not believe that they could not make good mobile phones without Qualcomm. Therefore, I would rather use Samsung’s CUP in the early days and I’m not willing to use mature Qualcomm’s solution to integrate the baseband. (Early users also suffered from it, but young people, who haven’t intended to use anything too much), the last full Netcom of the story and high performance Under the circumstances, Meizu chose Netcom, and it is indeed a bit of a shame in performance. However, the MX6 can be fully qualified in daily use.

In fact, I am looking forward to the screen, because the hands of PRO5 and note3 are not satisfied, PRO5 AMOLED screen color cast, note3 dim, top of the AMOLED screen color is not bad but Samsung only for their own use, so it seems that Using the top LCD screen is a balanced choice, and the old partner Sharp is always sincere, 5.5-inch TDDI process screen, this process is simply to optimize the touch IC and screen gap, in theory, will be more transparent , Touch more smooth. How to see the results of the comparison of the following photos, photos are taken by myself so you can better determine the color, but also to ensure that the three machines use exactly the same picture, the three machines are the highest brightness.

6s and MX6 colors are basically the same, MX6 in the skirt part of the color correction, curtain part PRO6 greenish, yellow skin color.

The MX6's viewing angle is very good, and the color of the picture at low angles does not change much. The entire picture of PRO5 has a serious color cast.

This group of contrasts can be seen in the three different processes for the display of the black gap, MX6 and 6s screen maximum brightness is the same as the value of 500cd/m2, PRO only 350cd/m2 , contrast PRO5 AMOLED screen up to 10000:1, The MX6 is 1500:1 slightly higher than 1400:1 with 6s. AMOLED screen black is not emitting natural contrast far more than the LCD, but the color cast problem is too serious, the overall perception is poor, MX6 black compared to 6s to black more pure, this should be attributed to the TDDI process. The MX6 on the screen did not disappoint me. The brightness was high, the colors were positive, the colors were bright and bright, and the viewing angle was excellent. This is undoubtedly the best screen of Meizu's screen.

Performance Power Life Comparison

The old driver's experience, not superstitious running points and cost-effective, please firmly believe that a penny and goods, price is often just to expand the information you know to promote and do not understand the part you do not talk about a marketing tool After all, not everyone is able to get acquainted with suppliers who have mixed LCD screens, and it is not clear that even if the same DDR3 or eMMC 5.0 specifications have a great difference in price and performance, all chips, batteries, and processes are the same. By selecting a well-known processor or a star hardware brand advertised but with some other hardware to reduce the cost, and these poorer hardware will actually affect the user experience of the phone.

Give my mobile phone a hot sort for everyone's reference (temperature from low to high)

Daily use temperature 6s<PRO5<note3<MX6<360 N4<Le 2

Charging temperature note3<6s<MX6<360 N4<PRO5< Le 2

MX6 has excellent power control in daily use, and the battery life is roughly as follows

Le 2<360 N4<5s<6s<MX6<PRO5< Charm Blue note3

The best battery life is undoubtedly the use of low-power chips and large battery charm blue note3, MX6 battery life is not worse than I used to be slightly 6s, but the night standby or not, will generally lose power 8 hours a night 8 % or so (open WIFI does not clear the background)

Meizu mobile phone with the first main camera

Saying that the distance from the last MX4 is equipped with a 2070w pixel IMX220, Meizu MX and PRO series are always insisting on high pixel this way, PRO5 and PRO6 with IMX220 after the upgrade of the IMX230 pixel is up to 2116W pixels, but used people We all know that no matter how the camera can be upgraded, no mainstream camera can be found in the mobile phone PK, including Apple, Samsung, even in the photo experience is also less than the OPPO camera phone, the reason is the mobile phone COMS itself volume and The irreconcilable contradiction between high pixels caused by what laser focus, phase focus, independent ISP, custom lens group are useless, Meizu this painful return to the camera itself, the photo looks good is the right way, pixels dropped to 12 million pixels, Return to the big bottom, large apertures and large pixel particles that truly determine the quality of the photo's parameters.

Comparative sample

The most accurate white balance control for this set of photos is the MX6. Both the road surface and the white clouds are closer to reality and the outline of the building is more sharp. The PRO5 runs away from the white balance in this bright light. 6s made a three-dimensional sense of the clouds, but it was a bit warm.

This set of photos was taken at 2:30 in the afternoon. When the sun was up, the light was very good. The MX6 made it clear at the time and the 6s had some pressure for rain. The PRO5 was totally cloudy and rainy. Using the default global metering, the style of the painting is quite different. I personally like the MX6's emergence, bright and neat, 6s steady but lacking in features, and the PRO5 is completely inconsistent with the drawing. .

This shot was taken at 8:00 in the morning. The colors of the MX6 and 6s were almost the same as those of the green leaves. Only the green leaves of PRO5 were dark and warm.

This group of photos was taken at 8 o'clock in the morning and the light was not enough. The 6s performed best and the sky was full of blue colors. The foreground retained more details. There is still a gap between the MX6 and the 6s. I believe this is due to Apple's leading position in the recognition and optimization of the scene. PRO5 is still at the bottom, of course, the details of the foreground leaves are very good, but we take this picture to count the leaves.

This group of indoor multi-source photos does not have obvious advantages and disadvantages, but from the viewfinder range, the MX6 is wider than the 6S, which is a natural advantage. It will have better results when shooting larger scenes. The MX6 is not very neat when focusing on near objects because it is not equipped with laser focusing. Although it also has phase focusing but not as fast as 6s, it is at least MX6 focusing compared to other Android players with phase focus I have used. Accuracy and accuracy are relatively high, and the rate of success is excellent.

This set of readily-available night scenes MX6 and PRO5 use the built-in manual mode, photographic automatic, exposure is set to 1 second, infinity focus, exposure compensation -3, and 6s is not still manually automatic mode, can intuitively see the MX6 Night noise control is very clean. The MX6 has improved greatly in night shooting, especially in manual mode, it can shoot very good movies.

Fast charge and fingerprint payment evolution

The MX6's standard fast head is consistent with the power of the previous PRO5 model, supporting up to 2A/12V power 24W. In the fast-charged part of my life, I have always had the idea of ​​fast charging and no fast-paced, but the experience between faster and faster is not much different. Users do not have to worry too much about fast charging technology. The current experience does not completely open the gap. The MX6 has made a good start this time. What is more important is the service life of the battery. This is very meaningful for users who have used the mobile phone for more than one year. I believe that everyone will have some old mobile phones a few years ago and should have a long battery life. Having experience and starting to pay attention to the continued experience of long-term use of mobile phones is what conscience companies should have.

Two independent random charge tests were performed. The average charge time for MX6 from 1% to 100% of the original summer charge (room temperature of the air-conditioned room was approximately 26°) was 85 minutes, which is not significantly different from the nominal 75 minutes on the official website. Taking into account my boot background QQ WeChat, bright screen shots, 30 minutes full of 50 percent of the electricity can be regarded as a fast charge of the first-line level.

MX6 Battery 3060mAh PRO5 Battery 3050mAh note3 Battery 4100mAh

This time compared the test time of the three Meizu cell phone charging time is somewhat long, I think there are two reasons, one is that everyone looked at my photos on the three chargers directly close together 挨 too close, the second test window in the living room at that time There was no air conditioning on the wide open, so room temperature was around 30°. Although relatively slow compared to the usual charge a lot, but the three machines are the same situation, so the relative value can still be for everyone to refer to. The same charging head but PRO5 in the initial stage faster, eventually lead the MX6 10 minutes to complete the charge, and not fast charging buzzer note3 battery capacity is the largest and in the end took two hours and fifty minutes. In fact, it is unreasonable to constantly pursue charging, and the battery life and the temperature at the time of charging should all be taken into consideration.

Mature Flyme5 meets mature MX6

Flyme5 has a very uniform interaction throughout the system, and the color is also very particular. At present, the MX6 system is based on Android 6.0, and the system version number is 5.2.2.0A. Flyme5 has been published for 11 months. After nearly a year of improvement, the Flyme5 is now the most stable and most comprehensive. It is as strong as iOS. When the big version is changed, it is also a bug. Therefore, a bug is not necessarily a poor system. It is also possible that the system changes too much, but now Flyme5 is very smooth, smooth and stable on the MX6.

The overall optimization of the system is mainly the transition animation, the fluency of these details. Maybe the distance between me and Flyme5 is too close, so sometimes I can't see its changes and features. But the difference with other Android customization systems is mainly two in my opinion: 1. The interaction and color matching of the entire system are highly integrated; 2. The functions of the system are complete, music, video, books, news, applications, games, maps , documents, etc.

In fact, I have already talked about Flyme's features several times. Here, I'll share with you the features of the three GIFs.

Meizu's multi-tasking is intuitive. From the bottom of the screen, the card-type multitasking from the bottom up contains the software's name and user interface. So when switching, you can use the thumb to switch easily. This is more than an iconic multitasking. More easily distinguishable touch area is also greater. In terms of experience, it is far better than double-clicking HOME on iOS 10 or pressing the edge.

Have you ever had the trouble of suddenly coming in and not wanting to answer the phone when you swipe Weibo to read the novel, Flyme5 perfectly solved this pain point and you will not be interrupted. If the phone stays on the desktop, it is still a traditional full-screen call. However, if you stay in the APP use state, including when the camera is taking pictures, the incoming call is in the notification bar at the top, and your use experience will not be excessively disturbed. If you do not connect, you can let it dry.

System-level APP is meticulously polished. For example, if you don't listen to songs, you don't have to watch the lyrics. If there is then your savior comes, the notification bar shows the lyrics. You can watch the lyrics while playing your mobile phone. It is so careful, Need to open the status bar lyrics in the music settings can be headstrong.

As the first protective cover released by the Meizu official website, did not hold back or entered an early adopter experience, the circle of interaction and not too much new ideas, to be honest is a bit disappointed, white leather super intolerable dirty, with One week has been dirty, and there is another problem that is difficult to solve because usually there is a ballpoint pen in his hands at work, and the handwriting of this ballpoint pen on the white protective cover is difficult to clean. And the leather case itself will be more complicated to use, each time you want to open, open, open, more suitable for users to play the phone more restrained and able to endure dirty.

Experience summary

MX6 is the first product of the MX series after positioning and transformation. It no longer pursues new product positioning, chasing strong, and no longer deliberately committed to the pursuit of sales and market share. MX6's positioning is mature and balanced, using mature technology solutions matched with a mid-range price. As a witness of the MX series, I have witnessed the glory of each generation of the MX series's glorious technology has also endured every radical generation. The price. As the user's perspective has long been a bit of aesthetic fatigue, and no longer seldom those new black technology, the most concerned about is a stable and efficient daily use experience. Perhaps this is the smallest generation of MX, but in the eyes of an old MX user, this is the MX we most need.
