Not much more appropriate: Meizu MX6 Smartphone Reviews

The Meizu “MX” series is also defined as the “Dream” series. As the flagship series once used, Meizu’s pursuit of perfect quality has been pinpointed, with exquisite workmanship and excellent hardware configuration.

With the intensification of competition in the domestic smart phone market, major manufacturers are no longer simply to attract attention to grab users with performance competition or ultra-low prices. Instead, it launched multiple series for different consumer groups, so when the Meizu update the market strategy to PRO, MX, charm blue constitute a high-low three series, the MX series has become the backbone of the mainstream market.

However, in many “kerosene” hearts, the MX series is still a focus of attention. Thanks to SMZDM and Meizu for organizing this MX6 smartphone test campaign, the sharing experience is as follows.

Appearance

MX6 packaging, the front of the white carton outlined the outline of the product, the side marked models, very simple.

With the magnetic opening and closing method, the main body of the product is displayed when opened.

Product accessories family portrait, are basic accessories, there is no trace of excess and waste, no headset gift

The homogenization of smartphone appearance has been unavoidable. It is not even possible to distinguish between brand models. So the following picture shows me only that you can confirm that he is the MX6 body.

Compared with the same brand of PRO 6, you can basically think of the screen as a larger version.

After years of development, the interface and keys of the mobile phone have been greatly simplified, and the placement position is also more user-friendly. MX is no exception. The interfaces are all concentrated on the bottom. The Type-C USB interface, 3.5mm headphone jack, and bottom microphone pickup are included. hole.

The main interface distribution of MX6

Side switch screen keys and volume adjustment keys

Top of the fuselage, camera and light sensor on both sides of the middle earpiece

Under the fuselage, Home button + fingerprint recognition

This is also the current configuration of the Android camp smart phone standard network red, but there is a reasonable, for many users like to use the thumb for fingerprint recognition operations, the greater the lateral contact area of ​​the "waist" design than the standard round With better recognition accuracy.

Back camera and dual color temperature flash

Meizu comes with a beautifully crafted thimble

MX6 supports full Netcom dual SIM dual standby, using the NANO SIM card.

Performance comparison

The Helio X20 locates the mainstream mid-range mobile phone products and adopts a three-constellation and ten-core architecture. It can finely divide processes according to their severity, and uses CorePilot 3.0 heterogeneous computing technology to freely schedule and match ten cores among three clusters. Officially, the average power consumption is reduced by 30% compared to the traditional dual-cluster, and the computing power is increased by 15%.

The basic structure of the Helio X20 equipped with the MX6 can be seen as a down-clocked version of the high-end X25, which is supplemented by 4GB of operating memory and 32GB of storage to form its operational storage system. The specific specifications are as follows:

As can be seen from the specifications, the hardware performance of the MX6 is absolutely targeted at the performance-level market, more attention to cost-effective and practical, so it is not too eager to run sub-test, this link only select Meizu own PRO6, MX6 and database The data of Dragon 810 is compared to facilitate the understanding of the MX6's performance level.

Experience

Feel

The word "cell phone" begins with the word "hand". Most of the daily use does not leave your hands, so how the hand feel directly affects the user's mood.

MX6 is equipped with a 5.5-inch screen, so it belongs to the "big screen" ranks, but fortunately the left and right side of the border control in 2mm, the overall volume is not too large.

Height: 153.6mm, Width: 75.2mm, Thickness: 7.25mm. For male users, basic one-handed operation is possible, and for some female users, it may be slightly difficult but also acceptable.

The operating keys of the mobile phone are quite simple, only the volume control and power button on the side of the body, and the Home button on the bottom of the screen. This will also make it easier for users to operate with one hand.

The shell of MX6 adopts the same sandblasting technology as its own flagship. The overall feel is delicate and it does not leave fingerprints.

Extremely rounded edge treatment, with 2.5D screen glass without "cutting"

The weight of the fuselage is about 150 grams. Personally think that the control is just right. It will not appear to be light and loss, nor will it be too heavy and drag the user.

Therefore, overall, the MX6's hand performance is very good, regardless of the vertical comparison Meizu series products, or horizontal for many other brand products are not much to be picky.

However, it is not without problems. Although the metal shell processed by the sandblasting process is delicate in touch, it is relatively easy to fall off when the hand is relatively dry. Therefore, whether it is in the appearance or the purpose of protecting the mobile phone, it is necessary to provide a mobile phone case. of. Meizu official offers a variety of materials to choose from protective cover, flip-type can also be achieved through the Meizu See APP cover display clock, business cards, connect the phone and other cool features

screen

MX6 is equipped with a 5.5-inch SHARP TDDI screen, compared to traditional display, TDDI for the user, has a more lightweight and lighter footprint, higher panel transmittance and more sensitive touch operation experience

MX6 display, measured to achieve a nominal brightness of 500cd/m2

With the high contrast ratio of 1500:1, the clarity and gradation of the image are guaranteed, and the 85% NTSC color gamut provides a more vivid picture display, so the MX6 does not affect its sharp image performance under high ambient brightness.

Should be due to classification and other considerations, MX6 does not follow the trend of using the current popular AMOLED screen, but this does not mean that the display quality is reduced. Compared to the rich tone of the AMOLED screen used by the PRO6, it is slightly fresher and I reset all display settings to default

Compared with pure color screen shots, it can be seen that in the red, green and blue primary colors and the pure white performance, the MX6 is not much different from the AM6 PRO6. The biggest difference is that the brightness of the MX6 is slightly higher, so the color display is more vivid and the AMOLED performance Relatively rich. Therefore, the MX6 is even more pure in terms of red cash.

But in terms of black market performance, we have to admire the advantages of AMOLED's self-luminous features.

Therefore, the above characteristics determine the display style of the two screens. The TDDI screen of the MX6 is more adept at expressing vivid and bright color styles.

The PRO6's AMOLED screen is even more adept at representing the layers and details of the picture.

Regarding the viewing angle, both the TDDI screen and the AMOLED screen have no problem for daily use.

system

The MX6 is loaded with the Flyme 5 operating system based on Android 6.0 . Because it is customary for Chinese users to customize deeply, Flyme is not an Android system. Fortunately, customization is limited to enhancing the user experience rather than adding various types of ads, so Flyme is not annoying. Pre-installed software is not much, users can delete it.

The Flyme system gives the user a first impression of a fresh and harmonious tone, and the MX6 does not have any other features in addition to the 3D Press function of the high-end machine.

The oval button at the bottom of Meizu's screen is officially called “mTouch”. Although this key shape is a generic shape of the Android camp smartphone, the function is still different.

In addition to the common fingerprint recognition in the Flyme system, it also combines the functions of the "Home" button and the "Back" button. Therefore, the MX6 system operating button is only one, touch to achieve "return" function, and press the "Home" function, which is more suitable for users of the IOS system, and when the old user of the Android mobile phone is started There will be a rush.

And at the edge of the screen on the left and right sides of the “mTouch” key, the program switching interface may be called out by sliding up by hand. At this time, it is possible to switch between multiple programs or close multiple unneeded processes at the same time.

Although the MX6 is not equipped with the performance of the processor, the memory configuration can not reach the massive realm. However, the overall use is very smooth and there is no phenomenon of stabling, which also adds a lot to the experience.

Taking pictures

In recent years, mobile phone camera related technologies have been making great strides, and some high-end models have exceeded the standard DC performance. This is a very common phenomenon. Prior to this, many high-end smart phones have been equipped with high-pixel cameras as selling points. Many consumers also believe that high-pixel images will inevitably bring about high-quality performance. Therefore, mobile phone cameras with more than 20 million pixels are commonplace.

However, in reality, high pixels do not result in improved picture quality when used, because the size of the image sensor is generally not too large due to the limitations of the size and power consumption of the smart phone. The area of ​​the pixel will be reduced. In the actual photographing, the capture of light will be weakened, and the overall color performance is not rich enough, especially the night shooting ability will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the use of lower pixels to enhance the photosensitive area of ​​a single pixel, in a sense can actually play a role in improving the quality of the picture, especially for portable devices such as mobile phones, most of the subjects do not need to zoom in to view the details of the application is particularly suitable.

So many manufacturers flagship product's camera is no longer the main pursuit of high pixels, so we also see SONY on the MX6 for its custom IMX386 CMOS sensor, 12 million pixels, single pixel 1.25μm, 6P custom lens, f/2.0 Large aperture, PDAF phase focus.

MX6 shooting proofs are as follows, the biggest feature lies in the more realistic color reproduction.

With the new image sensor, MX also uses a new noise reduction algorithm, which can theoretically improve the dark light environment and night scene shooting capabilities, but this feature needs to be manually opened in the camera settings

Lifetime

Meizu MX6 is equipped with a 3060mAh capacity battery, which is a mainstream capacity configuration. The use of security Bunny battery test conditions are as follows:

In general, dual-card dual standby is fully charged, and normal use of Bluetooth, WIFI, and GPS is fully guaranteed. Of course, if you spend a lot of time playing games or watching videos, then you still have a good charge. .

MX6 standby power consumption is very low, although the official standard "pure standby 18 days" this indicator I can not conduct actual testing, but with Flyme power management features, the power consumption is still ideal in the case of blanking standby, normal software installation In the case of 8.5 hours, the electricity consumption is about 4%.

Meizu MX6 is equipped with mCharge security fast charge, the maximum output current of 2A, the output voltage in the 5V, 9V, 12V third gear selection according to the judgment of the control chip.

Measured at the beginning of charge and in the middle period, the output power of the mobile phone is basically stable at 24W in the standby mode of the screen, and after the 90% power is entered, the trickle charging process starts to drop.

The final measurement took about 80 minutes to fill the entire battery, slightly larger than the official nominal 75 minutes. In fact, in less than an hour, the MX6 is already full of 80% of power, which is enough for emergency use.

At the same time Meizu through the tripartite cooperation with MTK, Texas Instruments, mCharge technology can be based on the body temperature, battery voltage, usage scenarios and other data, let the three power management IC chip communication and cooperation to dynamically switch the high and low voltage to ensure the use of high-speed charging Safety. In the actual test, I found that if the charge is used at the same time to open the screen, the charging power can only be floated around 5W, and no more than 10W. This should be a safety limitation.

So for users who need emergency charging, they must completely blank out the screen to enjoy mCharge charging speed.

Evaluation summary

Today, with the increasingly homogenized mobile phone design, it is not an easy task to design a product that is unique and able to be accepted by consumers. Although the homogenized design inevitably makes people feel tired However, it is also the market choice for survival of the fittest for many years. So here I do not want to admire the beauty of the MX6 appearance, but the Meizu pursuit of the appearance of the craft or let the MX6 become a design boutique.

The advantages of MX6 can be listed in many ways, but for me, the screen with good display effect and good shooting ability are the most surprising places.

Of course, relatively weak computing performance is also a criticism of many people, but I do not want to be too demanding performance, fever-level configuration is better, but the relatively high price and the actual usage rate is a problem to be considered . For a mobile phone product for the mainstream market, the relatively balanced quality coupled with one or two features will get more attention, this MX6 do a good job!
