Good looking and easy to use - a brief review of Magic Blue 2
2016-11-06 11:23


There are short stories about using the two simple words "good-looking and easy to use" as the experience title.



As I said earlier, when I received the express delivery of Meilan 2, my tail was on leave to play with my family, so I asked my colleagues to take it and experience it for a few days. When I came back from vacation, I asked her how she felt. The female colleague said "beautiful", and the male colleague said "easy to use". After a few days of use, the general feeling was the same. In yesterday's online shopping of Meilan 2, another colleague mobilized his office colleagues to help him with the shopping. Unfortunately, he didn't buy it. It seems that at the price of 599 yuan, there are still some small surprises in the "1110 in the smartphone era" proposed by Meilan 2 when it was released.



The design style of Meilan 2 continues Meizu's tradition. As long as Meizu's product line is opened, it is obvious that each product of Meizu has a deep Meizu design imprint, which also makes Meizu become one of the mobile phone manufacturers that maintains its own perfect design language. The tail gets a white experience machine, and the color scheme of "front black and back hundred", which is unique and clean compared with the gray texture and red and blue brilliance, and has a wider application range.




Speaking of design language, in this year's Meizu product line, the biggest change in the design language style was the adoption of the mBack physical home key with a new round waist design. At that time, the tail was extremely reluctant to use the little dot that he was used to on the MX4. However, the mBack outlined with silver edges on the body of Charming Blue 2 is also very beautiful in appearance. In terms of functions, there are also targeted changes. With a slightly concave key surface, a touch is to return to the top, and a press is to return to the desktop. Long press can select the lock screen function or start voice interaction. Compared with the original SmartBar, mBack is faster to start, more adaptable, and the interaction experience is upgraded again.




The side of Magic Blue 2 is clean as well. The USB data interface and speaker at the bottom are in the same position as the design of Magic Blue Generation. The power key and volume adjustment are adjusted together on the side. The touch of the key is hard. Compared with the power key on the top, I prefer the current layout, which is more convenient for single hand operation.




The SIM card slot on the left side of the fuselage supports the nano card dual card dual standby. Only one card can use the 4G network, and the other card uses the GSM network. It is compatible with the TF memory card and can be set in detail in the settings. Of course, this is a fixed practice for low-priced mobile phones, but the problem of the card slot of Meilan 2 has not been solved yet. The insertion and removal are not particularly smooth, and the blocking feeling is obvious. Fortunately, the appearance of the inserted mobile phones is neat.




The back of the Phantom Blue 2 is made of polycarbonate, with good gloss and smooth hand feel. With the radian of the body, the palm is very comfortable when holding it, but there is a little fingerprint. The 13 million pixel camera, fill light and LOGO are arranged along the central line of the back, which has a visual sense of symmetry.



Meilan 2's grip has been greatly improved. The key is that this time, Meilan 2 uses the standard 16:9 screen ratio, which is 3.2 mm narrower than Meilan Generation 1, and fundamentally improves the grip feel. However, for the sake of cost, Meilan 2's display screen is covered with the second generation glass of Asahi Longji, which is not as smooth as the common gorilla series products and has a slight astringency. However, the surrounding frame of Magic Blue 2 is slightly higher than the display screen. A better glass film can be pasted directly without much investment. This problem has been solved and an additional layer of protection has been added. After all, you can't have your cake and eat it.




Tail has always liked the display effect of Meizu's product screen. The color is bright and flattering. The 5-inch 720 screen of Meilan 2 is recommended to adjust the brightness to at least two-thirds or more in daily use. The sensory effect will be good and the viewing angle will be wide. At the same time, we are also looking forward to Meizu using 1080P screens in the next generation of low-cost products, and lowering the price line of 1080P products again. After all, 720P on the 5-inch screen can't do anything.



The above is the beautiful experience of Meilan 2. Is it easy to use?


The main hardware configuration of Meilan 2 is a 1.3GHz MediaTek quad core A53 architecture 64 bit processor, 2G memory, 1300W rear camera, 500W front camera, and 2500mAh battery. I don't want to score this time. After all, the machine at this price doesn't mean much. Buying users of Meilan 2 are nothing more than chatting about QQ, WeChat, microblogging, watching Netease news, playing games, and shopping on Taobao. Smooth and easy to use is the king. Therefore, the 2G memory used by Meilan 2 is a major feature at this price. After all, the fluency of large memory can be intuitively felt, and 2G memory must be better than 1G memory.



In the concept of ease of use, the system UI is a very important decisive factor, because whether the interaction between mobile phones and users is convenient and whether the functions are perfect depends on the UI development ability. Meilan 2 is equipped with Flyme OS 4.5 based on Android 5.1 kernel. After years of optimization and update, beautiful, simple and efficient interface is its soul.



In terms of functions, Flyme OS 4.5 pays more attention to the integration of functions and close to daily applications, with more humanized designs. For example, focusing on building a platform, and other partners providing resources, it has a life service function that integrates food, movies, leisure and entertainment, bringing users a richer experience, and many other functions will not be reviewed one by one.



Flyme's cloud function is also easy to use. Account cloud management alone is very practical, similar to Apple's account management. Meizu's Flyme account is the only identification code that is bound to the mobile phone, and cannot be cracked. It has been tested that ordinary phone swiping is impossible, so you must keep your account and password. As long as you log in to your Flyme account, you can enable data synchronization, cloud storage, phone search and other functions, which are more practical.



In his spare time, Tail still likes to play some small games. After experience, daily games such as subway parkour, matchmaker alliance, nationwide assault, and Xiaoxiaole are still running smoothly without pressure. After playing the game for a long time, the highest temperature of Meilan 2 is around the camera, but the temperature is acceptable.



Of course, for mobile phones at the price of 599 yuan, the tail doesn't want to run large games with multiple gigabytes for experience. After all, it is not important to compare the performance of mobile phones at this price alone. The endurance is more useful than simply competing for performance. No matter how strong the performance is, it will be useless if it cannot last until the next charge. According to the test, the daily use of Meilan 2 is running in the balanced mode. The single card 4G is connected to WiFi, and it takes more than an hour for each project to continuously surf Weibo, surf the Internet, listen to music, and play games. Each project will last for more than an hour. There is no problem after one day. If you use little, you can standby for two days.



Finally, for the photo taking of Xiamei Blue 2, Samsung's 13 million pixel CMOS main lens, 2.2 aperture performance is commendable. The camera function also has certain playability. Panorama, light field and other modes are very useful in specific situations. After the metering separation is turned on, it is easier to grasp the exposure.



At half past five in the afternoon, focus is separated by photometry. The photometry and focus are on the tower crane in the distance. At this time, the picture has the style of silhouette.



At the same time, focus with photometric separation. The focus is on the tower crane in the distance, and the photometric point is on the nearby shrub. The picture brightness is improved.



From the actual shooting, under the condition of good light, Magenta Blue 2 has good white balance, color restoration, focusing speed and image clarity. However, in weak light, the focusing speed will become slower, and the brightness and noise control is general.






The front lens of Phantom Blue 2 has 5 million pixels, and the front lens of the tail MX4 has only 2 million pixels. Forget it, I don't want to take a selfie if I'm ugly anyway. From the thin face test of beauty in magazines, we can see that facial recognition is more accurate and the effect of beauty is obvious.



In a word, the most profound experience of the Meilan 2, which sells for 599 yuan, is the simple words of "good-looking and easy to use". Of course, it is precisely because of this price, shackled to the cost, there are also some shortcomings in the hardware. But on the whole, if you win Meilan 2, congratulations. It's worth using it.
