The new generation of Meizu PRO 6 has reduced the screen size to 5.2 inches, reduced GPU performance, memory bandwidth, flash memory specification, and battery capacity. At first glance, it is a PRO 5mini specification. It does not match the name of PRO 6.
In terms of specification and configuration, PRO 6 adopts MediaTek MT6797T SoC, with 10 core CPU, 2 * A72+4 * A53+4 * A53, 4GB LPDDR3 933MHz memory, 14.9GB/S memory bandwidth, eMMC 5.1 flash memory type, and the camera sensor is still Sony IMX230 21.16 million pixels like PRO 5, F/2.2 aperture, unit pixel is 1.12 μ m, battery capacity is 2560mAh, support dual card dual standby+full network access, support MTK PE standard (5~12V/2A~3A), with front fingerprint identification, 3D Press function, use USB Type-C interface (support USB 3.1), but in terms of audio, PRO 6 only uses Cirrus Logic's decoding ear amplifier integrated chip, while the previous generation PRO 5 is an independent DAC (ES9018K2M), an independent operational amplifier chip (OPA1612) and four pairs of NXP current transistors. In terms of audio, PRO 6 and PRO 5 are not in the same dimension.
appearance
The PRO 6 adopts the all metal 3D sandblasting process, which is similar to the PRO 5 in overall design. It is a metal wrapped middle frame. However, the PRO 6 has changed from the two sunken metal partition strips on the back of the PRO 5 to an antenna design similar to the iPhone 6, and the frame on the front of the screen has also been over treated.
Since the screen size is only 5.2 inches, the three dimensions of PRO 6 are much smaller than those of PRO 5, and there is no cutting hand design, so the overall holding feeling is more pleasant than that of PRO 5.
The charging head of Meizu PRO 6 has a very violent specification, and supports Qualcomm fast charging PD fast charging, almost most of the fast charging mobile phones on the market can use the charging head of Meizu PRO 6 for fast charging. Its marked fast charging specifications are 12V/2A, 5V/3A, 8V/3A. In addition, the original USB Type-C data cable of PRO 6 is the most solid material in all mobile phone wiring we have seen. The whole cable is very thick and not easy to roll.

remarks ： average Delta E is used to measure the color reproduction ability of a screen. On our device, the average Delta E can only be considered as an excellent range if it can remain below 3 The average delta E is 2.6, while the Galaxy Note 5 is only 1.8 in standard mode.
At present, there are two standards for the value of gamma curve, one is the closer to 2.2, the better; the other is the closer to 2.4, the better.
The PRO 6 screen is still a 1080P AMOLED screen, and Meizu has specially added several color modes on the PRO 6 screen, just like Samsung's Galaxy series, The PRO 6 screen supports adaptive mode, photo mode, standard mode, and bright mode. These modes actually correspond to different color ranges. The standard mode is to purposely reduce the color gamut of the AMOLED screen to the sRGB range, which can make the color of the screen more accurate.
In the test, we compared the photo mode, standard mode and adaptive mode of PRO 6. It is true that the standard mode has the lowest average delta E (average color deviation), but its number is still 3.8, while the previous generation of PRO 5 is 4.9. In the standard mode, the color gamut range of PRO 6 is 92% sRGB (the color gamut in the photo mode is much higher, but its average delta E is worse). The default color temperature is 7600K, and the gamma curve is 3.58, while the color gamut range of PRO 5 is 136.7% sRGB, the color temperature is 7600K, and the gamma curve is 2.35. Since it is an AMOLED screen, the number of contrast is close to infinity, so we will not discuss it here.
In terms of brightness, the maximum white spot brightness of PRO 6 is 325~370nits, and the manual maximum brightness is at the top of the screen. The brightness at the bottom of the screen has a certain difference from the brightness at the top, and the brightness distribution is uneven. This situation is similar to PRO 5. Under the manual maximum brightness, the brightness of PRO 5 is 300~350nits, and the brightness distribution is also uneven.
To sum up, this screen of Meizu PRO 6 can only be regarded as an ordinary AMOLED screen. Except that the average color deviation in the standard mode is slightly lower than that of PRO 5, it has no other advantages. This AMOLED screen is still far from the top AMOLED screen on Galaxy Note 5.
system
Simply speaking, Meizu's 3D Press function is basically meaningless at present. The author usually uses the iPhone 6s. Even if so many iPhone 6s apps are adapted to 3D Touch, the author rarely uses this function. The first is unnecessary. The second is that the 3D Press of PRO 6 does not feel fast. In the first place, the 3D Press of PRO 6 certainly cannot match the iPhone in terms of app adaptation, Then it is more convenient to complete the operation through 3D Press than to directly enter the App. In addition, the 3D Press function of PRO 6 has no tactile feedback, while the iPhone 6s has vibration feedback.
In terms of system, PRO 6 still uses Flyme 5.1 (Andorid 6.0). Its built-in App and operation logic are basically the same as those of PRO 5 and other Meizu mobile phones that use Flyme 5.1. We will not repeat them here.
performance
In terms of performance, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, the GPU, memory, and flash memory have all declined significantly. The Mali T760MP8 vs. Mali T880MP4, LPDDR4 vs. LPDDR 3, and UFS2.0 vs. eMMC 5.1 are also clearly shown in our score test. However, in terms of CPU performance, the MT6797T of PRO 6 performs better than Exynos7420. Due to the multi-core optimization of Android, it is not surprising that X25 can perform like this.

The author has taken photos of PRO 6 Comparison of photos of Meizu's flagship in different dynasties The article gives a detailed description. The objects to be compared are MX4 Pro MX5、PRO 5、PRO 6， The conclusion is that the photography of PRO 6 has made progress, but it is not a complete victory compared with PRO 5. The weak light and night view of PRO 6 will be slightly stronger, while in daytime performance, the analytical power and details of PRO 5 will be significantly better than PRO 6. It can only be said that the two will win or lose each other. However, in my personal opinion, the improvement of the night view of PRO 6 cannot make up for the disadvantage of PRO 6 in daytime photography, and I prefer to take photos of PRO 5.
Endurance&fever
In terms of endurance, we adjusted the screen brightness of PRO 5 and PRO 6 to 100nits for testing. In the three hour test (30 minutes of games, 30 minutes of WIFI Internet access, 1 hour of music, 30 minutes of 4G Internet access, and 30 minutes of animation playback), there was not much difference between the two. The remaining power of PRO 6 was 64%, while that of PRO 5 was 66%.
In terms of heating, after running NBA 2K15 for one hour, the maximum temperature of PRO 6 is 41.2 ℃, while the maximum temperature of PRO 5 is 42.6 ℃. Although the maximum temperature of PRO 5 will be higher, the temperature of PRO 6 will rise quickly. After running for about 15 minutes, the temperature of the machine will rise rapidly to about 41 ℃, while the temperature of PRO 5 is still 37~38 ℃. This phenomenon also occurs when the two run together, The temperature of PRO 6 will rise to 40 ℃ after 10 minutes of operation. However, if you continue to play with PRO 6, the temperature of PRO 6 will not exceed 43 ℃.
tone quality
Here we briefly talk about the sound quality of PRO 6. PRO 6 uses Cirrus Logic's decoding ear amplifier integrated chip in its hardware. Such audio chip, in the industry's words, is "non HIFI mobile phone". The so-called HIFI mobile phone in the market is equipped with an independent decoding chip (independent DAC) and an independent operational amplifier chip, just like an independent video card on a computer, and such a decoding ear amplifier integrated chip, It is equivalent to an integrated graphics card of a computer. What's more, the PRO 5 of the previous generation still uses luxury specifications such as ES9018K2M (independent DAC)+OPA1612 (independent amplifier).
The author's VE6XC is used to compare the audio of the two mobile phones. In terms of low frequency, the low frequency of the PRO 5 is more vigorous, powerful and powerful, while the low frequency of the PRO 6 seems a bit tight and cannot be opened. In terms of intermediate frequency, PRO 5's voice analysis is more delicate and close to the ear, while PRO 6's voice appears weak, and the whole voice does not stretch out. In terms of high frequency, the high frequency continuation of PRO 5 is more regular and well controlled, while the high frequency of PRO 6 is somewhat short. In the analysis of musical instruments, the author uses Hirano Aya's "God knows..." 》PRO 5 gives me the feeling that the details of the instrument are very rich, the instrument division is high, and the positioning is clear, while PRO 6's performance is a bit mixed, and it will appear a bit miscellaneous on multiple instruments. In general, the sound quality of PRO 6 is far from that of PRO 5.
summary
Although PRO 6 is the next generation of PRO 5 in terms of naming, there is a certain gap between PRO 6 and PRO 5 in terms of configuration, price and actual effect. It is more appropriate to call it "PRO 5 mini". In short, the "intrinsic" of PRO 6 is not as good as PRO 5. This is the reality and cannot be changed. However, PRO 6 is not without merit. For example, its appearance and feel are more popular than PRO 5. In the eyes of small screen players, PRO 6 means much more than PRO 5. However, if you are a pure player who pursues performance and sound quality, the price of PRO 5 is worth several hundred yuan more than PRO 6.
