At 14:30 this afternoon, Meizu officially released its annual flagship model, MX4 Pro, at the Beijing National Convention Center. As always, Huang Zhang, the founder of Meizu, was not present this time, and the conference was co hosted by Yang Yan, the vice president of Meizu, and Bai Yongxiang. Since many contents (mainly system software) have been disclosed completely when the MX4 was released, the focus of this conference is relatively more concentrated.
Hardware
The MX4 Pro is equipped with a 5.5 inch 2K level screen, with a PPI of 546. Meizu claims that it is the world's first smartphone screen resolution; Screen accounts for more than 78%; The contrast reaches 1500:1; The brightness reaches 450 nits, generally surpassing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus; In addition, the border width of the MX4 Pro is only 2.8mm;
The MX4 Pro has a body weight of 158g and a thickness of only 9mm; Built in 3350mAh battery and Sensor Hub, Meizu said its endurance performance is consistent with MX4; Three body colors are available;
The processor of the MX4 Pro uses the 20nm process Exynos 5430 eight core processor provided by Samsung. Meizu claims that the power consumption of the 5430 processor of the MX4 PRO is 20% lower than that of the MX4; In addition, the MX4 Pro is also equipped with 3GB RAM and 32GB starting memory;
In terms of photographing, the MX4 PRO uses the same 20.7 million pixel camera as the MX4. The CMOS is still Sony IMX220R, but a new ISP is used; At the same time, it is equipped with 1/2.3 super large photosensitive elements; The rear lens adopts sapphire glass; In addition, the front camera has also been upgraded to 5 million pixels, with a single pixel size of 1.4 μ m;
In addition, the MX4 PRO also adds the second generation NFC technology and 802.11ac Wi Fi technology. On the network side, it supports dual 4G of Mobile Unicom, and supports the electronic wallet function;
fingerprint identification
The fingerprint identification technology of MX4 PRO is called M-Touch, and the surface is equipped with sapphire glass, which can realize 360 degree press identification, which also makes MX4 Pro the first mobile phone in the Android ecosystem with this A Yong front press fingerprint identification solution;
M-Touch It has the underlying chip level security protection. It has set aside a separate area for fingerprint information on Exynos 5430 and runs another independent system. It is not mixed with other areas and software. The overall implementation method is similar to that of several other friends. However, Meizu does not write its own solutions like Huawei, but increases costs and selects industry-leading solution providers, This enables the MX4 Pro to ensure that fingerprint information will not be leaked even after the root of the device;
In addition, Meizu has also brought its own payment scheme M-Pay. Based on this, users can complete payment behavior in app stores and theme stores through fingerprint identification; Meizu also said that it will get through to Alipay and WeChat payment in the first half of 2015, and will give mobile phones if tickets are skipped;
Return to music
Meizu named the sound effect of the MX4 Pro "Retina Sound". With the help of the digital to analog audio conversion chip, the MX4 Pro has an ultra-high real-time signal-to-noise ratio. In order to reduce the noise caused by the digital to analog audio conversion chip itself, Meizu has adopted fully symmetric passive standing wave technology for the first time in the world, solved the industrialization problem of the latter, and also applied for related patents;
In addition, the MX4 Pro is also equipped with an OPA1612 audio amplifier, which can bring an ultra wide common mode vibration suppression ratio. Meizu says that it has better analytical power than all HiFi phones on the market;
Retina Sound's dynamic range is up to 123dB, four times higher than the 6000 professional audio players on the market; And instead of using ceramic capacitors that generate noise, they choose film capacitors with higher cost; The electronic high and low gain switch is added;
In addition to the MX4 Pro, Meizu also released an entry-level HiFi headset - EP21-HD, which is upgraded from the previous EP21 and can bring more authentic and durable sound effects; It has the world's leading ultra-high impedance, up to 128 ohms; Meizu said that the sense of hearing was 4 times higher and the noise was 2 times lower than before;
Software
In terms of software, Meizu focused on fingerprint identification and payment functions, as well as the improvement of sound effects.
Flyme 4.1 will add DiracHD Sound effect, and will also support dynamic weather, intelligent wallpaper replacement, levitation ball function, etc;
Up to now, the Flyme lossless music library has exceeded 600000 songs, accounting for 86% of the HiFi standard;
1.5 million built-in video resources;
The newly launched reading center has 300 media access;
Meizu did not announce the upgrade time of Flyme 4.1 on the spot, but said that MX2 will be able to upgrade Flyme 4.0 from today;
price
The price of MX4 Pro starts at 2499 yuan (16GB), EP21-HD is sold separately at 129 yuan, and package purchase with mobile phone is only 99 yuan;
In addition, Meizu also launched a supporting protective case for the MX4 Pro, which is made of silica gel and fiber lining. It has the same feel as Apple's protective case, and the price is 129 yuan; The selling price of accident insurance for MX4 Pro is 129/year;
The MX4 Pro will officially accept the official website reservation at 17:00 this afternoon. It will be launched on December 6. The first 10000 units need to be paid for reservation, and no payment is required later. Meizu has given a guarantee that the first 10000 units will be delivered quickly.
summary
It is a little pity that Meizu did not bring the legendary smart speaker device, nor did it release a separate audio player device as rumored. However, as the information leaked thoroughly before the conference, there are not many surprises for the MX4 Pro in terms of hardware information.
It is worth noting that Meizu emphasized on the spot that it hopes to build a sense of participation between enterprises, products and users like Xiaomi, but it is also aligned with the iPhone in terms of specific products, including fingerprint identification and payment scheme, which gives a prominent feeling that Meizu is indeed open, no longer stubborn in a certain direction, but absorbs the strengths of other countries, It is commendable that he is willing to accept all this in a relatively positive way.
The MX4 Pro also continues the biggest surprise of the MX4, that is, the price. The original 3199, which was almost falsely rumored to be true, turned out to be a floating cloud. The real price was the same as that of the MX3 when it was first launched, which was 2499 yuan. In this way, the MX4 Pro really has no pressure to compete with Huawei Mate 7 and other friend products.
In addition to the forum and post bar's call to "buy, buy, buy" once again, what is still reassuring is Meizu's production capacity. Previously, industry insiders said that Meizu had originally planned to release the MX4 Pro at the end of October, but the reason for the delay was to reserve the spot to avoid repeating the mistakes of the MX4's rush. However, Meizu only made a commitment to the first 10000 units at the launch conference, and how was the subsequent performance, It is still unpredictable.
