Meilan 3 has just been released. The first MT6750 of MediaTek, plus the appearance of "100 yuan machine", is the best, plus the price of 599 yuan. What are the advantages and disadvantages of its two predecessor and rival Red Rice 3? Is it worth buying? Now let's have a comparison.
In terms of configuration, Meilan 3 has maintained a 5-inch 720P screen, launched MediaTek MT6750+eMMC5.0 storage+2870mAh battery, supported TF card expansion, and claimed a "second best" endurance. The front 5 million+rear 13 million pixel camera supports phase focusing. Dual card and dual standby All Netcom 4G+, supports VoLTE, and runs the Flyme 5.1 system based on YunOS.
In terms of price, the low configuration is the same as the previous generation, 2G memory+16G storage is 599 yuan, and the high configuration 3GB+32GB version is 799 yuan. The reservation will be opened on April 25, and it will be sold at 10:00 a.m. on April 29.
Parameter comparison of three generation Meilan and Hongmi 3
The MT6750, the first SoC, can be interpreted as the thin version of Helio P10 (MT6755). The CPU, GPU and memory frequency have been reduced. Same as 28nm HPM process, 8 cores [email protected] ， Mali-T860MP2@400MHz All Netcom supports Cat6 at most.
In terms of absolute performance, the MT6750 of Meilan 3 has a little pressure to fight against Snapdragon 616. MediaTek wins in power consumption control and core regulation. The small core base frequency of Snapdragon 616 is higher, and the latter is the core group with a higher proportion of daily use.
In the GPU part, the T860MP2 has only a 400MHz frequency, and its performance is still a little weaker than that of Meilan 1.
Memory and storage performance will directly affect the application startup speed. The MT6750 has a lower memory frequency but uses eMMC5.0. Snapdragon 616 has a higher memory frequency but only eMMC4.5.
Compared with the previous two generations of Meilan, we can find that the screen parameters and quality of Meilan series are shrinking all the time. The CPU performance of Meilan 3 is certainly the highest in history, but the memory and GPU performance of the first generation of Meilan is the highest. Of course, Meilan 2 and Meilan 3 are both priced at 599 yuan, which is understandable.

Although the Snapdragon 616 is one of the worst known mid and low-end SoCs, the MT6732/6735 has no pressure to win the absolute performance of the two generations of Meilan. The CPU part is not much ahead, but the GPU and storage performance are greatly crushed.
Although the full score of Meilan 3 has not yet come out, the parameters are obvious enough. The CPU performance of Meilan 3 is close to that of Red Rice 3's Snapdragon 616, but the GPU part is still crushed, and the flash memory speed is not optimistic.
Summary
This time, Meilan 3 didn't sacrifice its performance to control the price and the whole network, as the previous generation did. It not only added 2.5D glass, but also increased its battery, which seemed quite sincere.
Compared with the rival Hongmi 3, Meilan 3 wins in price, appearance and feel (lighter, rounder and mature body). Although there is a new SoC from MediaTek, the 2860mAh battery is still difficult to win the red rice 3 of Snapdragon 616+410mAh battery.
The difference between Meilan 3 and Hongmi 3 is like the difference between Meizu and Xiaomi: the former is good at appearance and design, and the latter is better than the configuration itself. However, their biggest difference may be the barrier between 599 and 699... After all, for machines with only a few hundred yuan, the price difference of 100 yuan is quite fatal.
