Fatal Frame

Opportunities, challenges.

Thanks to the rapid development of key components and mobile communication networks, domestic smart phones have continued to make a big impact in the past year, not only in terms of sales growth, but also in terms of technology and system optimization. Some details have even surpassed joint venture brand manufacturers. Q1 mobile phone market sales statistics show that the total shipments of domestic brands in the first quarter (including exports) 125 million units, surpassing Samsung's and Apple's combined shipments for the first time. Chinese brands accounted for 42.9% of global smartphone shipments, up from 41.5% in the previous quarter. The sales volume of the iPhone, once the leader, has dropped to the fifth place in the Chinese market. Some domestic brands have entered the overseas market, and there are considerable sales in Southeast Asia and India. However, As consumers, we are more concerned about the performance, usability and availability of smart phones. Today, we will talk about Meizu Pro6 from Meizu Technology.

About Meizu PRO6, Small screens are very different.

Meizu's design on the invitation letter is still amazing to the outside world. Who would have thought that there would be a steel helmet in the MX5 invitation letter? The packaging box of Meizu PRO 6 also reflects a good design style. It is black square and very simple. It is made of frosted plastic material. The front is gilded and inlaid with the words of PRO 6. The cover of the packaging box is fixed by the upper and lower tapes, and the logo "MEIZU" of Meizu is cleverly diecasted on it.

The back of the box is also simple, with MEIZU LOGO and PRO6 nameplate stickers in the middle.

The internal design of the box is still very simple. The mobile phone, data cable and charger are matched in black and white, and the visual effect is good.

Meizu PRO 6 charging adapter has excellent 24W charging power, fast charging function, and output 5V or 8V@3A ， 12V@2A 。

The fast charging technology of Meizu PRO6 requires the cooperation of charging wires in addition to the top charging technology. PRO6 randomly presents a fast charging data cable, which is slightly stronger than ordinary wires and has good flexibility. The interface adopts Type-C+USB 3.1 standard, with a bandwidth of up to 5Gbps. The transmission speed on the computer easily reaches 90MB/s, which is three times more than that of the previous generation. The microUSB terminal is slightly larger than ordinary charging plugs, It is famous for its high temperature, short circuit active protection device, and mCharge 3.0. It is committed to fast and safe charging. The author needs to remind you that the computer must be plugged into the USB3.0 interface to achieve high-speed data transmission~

The card taking pin with Flyme logo on the surface is exquisitely made, and the contact pin is directly pinned on the cardboard hole.

Meizu PRO6 is available in three colors: champagne gold, starry black and moonlight silver. The author got champagne gold, and a 5.2 inch 1080P AMOLED screen is mounted on the front. The BM area of the screen is controlled about 3.0mm, accounting for 71.28%. The glass frame is printed with white ink. The front face adopts the traditional Meizu family design style, 2.5D glass, narrow frame, and ultra narrow black edge, Symmetrical design, big R angles are used for four corners, and the overall shape is very smooth. However, 5.2 inches in size has been divided into small and medium-sized screens at the moment when there are many large screens. One hand can operate flexibly and feel good.

The back design of PRO6 is larger, which is amazing. The metal body of the integrated body adopts 3D three-dimensional sandblasting and colorful anodic oxidation treatment, which makes it more textured. The CNC stone turning highlight process with ultra narrow edges makes the waist line more rounded and more comfortable to hold. The flashlight adopts a circular design, and the traditional highlight T-slot design is invisible, Instead of the current popular injection molding strip process antenna, I prefer the former, which has strong visual impact, while the latter has a strong sense of plastic, depending on everyone's preference.

The symmetrical aesthetic design has been well integrated into PRO6, and the actual visual effect is also good. With the central axis of the front panel of PRO 6 as the symmetry line, the front camera, earpiece and sensor at the top are strictly symmetrical, the mTouch and fingerprint recognition at the bottom are also symmetrical, and the camera at the back of the fuselage and the ring flash are also symmetrical, This neat symmetrical layout makes the fuselage look more concise. Is there any good news for Virgo. Does it look cute, like big white?

The round return key has completely disappeared, replaced by the controversial round waist key, which will continue to be carried forward and improved in Meizu mobile phones in the next few years. The round waist key, also known as mTouch, has the function of fingerprint identification and mobile payment. PRO6's mTouch integrates a new generation of Meizu fingerprint security algorithm, which can improve the recognition speed, recognition rate The safety details have been further improved. Thanks to the optimized design of the structural space, the waist round key has a good key formation, and the actual experience is relatively comfortable.

The body size of PRO6 is 147.7 * 70.8 * 7.25mm, and the thickness is 7.25mm. It is the thinnest mobile phone under Meizu. The top of the body is very clean and simple. The headphone hole is eliminated, and only the noise reduction microphone is retained.

The left side of the side is also simple, without buttons, only the SIM card slot is reserved, and the right side is the regular volume key and power key.

Let's focus on the bottom. There are different criticisms and praises. People with phobia of denseness should go around. From left to right, there are headphone holes, microphone holes, charging holes, screw holes and sound cavity holes. I think that denseness is not enough. The headphone holes are easy to use at the bottom. As for the speaker holes, they should always be opened. As long as the external sound effect is good, I would not refuse to open them at the bottom.

The 7.25mm body of the PRO 6 is thinner than that of the PRO5. Thanks to the customized main camera module of the PRO6, the Sony IMX 230 with good feedback on the PRO5 has been successfully placed in it, making the overall structural design of the body lighter and thinner. However, the photographing performance has not declined. A detailed introduction will be given later. Compared with the PRO5, laser assisted focusing has been upgraded, The focusing distance and speed have been greatly improved. Unfortunately, the camera still protrudes about 0.5mm from the back. What about the optical anti shake?

Personally, I think the design of the ring flash is worth affirming. It makes the PRO 6 fill the light more evenly in the weak light environment, and the photography effect is greatly enhanced. Some friends feedback that the flash distance is greatly reduced. Hehe, do you mainly take photos or flashlights?

However, the thin and light body also puts forward higher requirements for the battery volume. The battery capacity of Meizu PRO6 is 2560mAh. Personally, I think the starting point of PRO6 is to achieve the balance between display effect and power consumption control. However, from the actual use effect, the endurance is not optimistic. It is normal to charge every day, as will be introduced later.

About Flyme 5.2, core competitiveness.

Meizu PRO6 is equipped with Flyme5.2 OS, which is deeply customized based on Android 6.0. With rich colors, mild rounded design, appropriate animation, innovative functions such as mTouch and 3D Press, and the support of Samsung AMOLED screen, In addition to being visually pleasing, it also keeps life and work convenient, efficient and aesthetic.

The screen display mode has four options, adaptive, standard, photo, bright mode, and SONY The display mode of BRAVIA TV is similar.

The charging, lock screen interface and pull-down menu shortcut switches are comprehensive, but can't be customized. For example, the eye protection function mentioned below is very useful, but I think it is troublesome to enter the settings every time. If you can add it to the pull-down menu, it will be much more convenient.

It supports dual cards, full network access, VoLTE (which needs to be opened in the business hall), and no disturbance mode. You can customize the no disturbance time period, and automatically enter the no disturbance mode when sleeping at night, which can save power and sleep undisturbed.

Eye protection function can eliminate eye fatigue caused by LED blue light. Friends who watch mobile phone screen for a long time at night should like this function. According to personal experience, 50% can perfectly balance day and night.

Fingerprint identification, personal testing response speed is relatively fast, some friends said that fingerprint identification unlocking is not sensitive, personal experience to share with you, if this happens, delete the entered fingerprint and re enter a new fingerprint, the finger moves evenly when entering, try to keep the entered fingerprint information relatively comprehensive, the efficiency and stability of unlocking will be much higher.

3D Press can be set to customize three kinds of pressing force, take care of girls with less strength, and try not to turn the use of mobile phones into strength work.

The red envelope grabbing assistant is a good function. It will prompt you that there is a red envelope when you use it, but it will not automatically open the red envelope when you shake it. Is it necessary to unlock the fingerprint before you can automatically open the red envelope?

Personal center settings, I think desktop cloud backup and data cloud synchronization are better features. When changing mobile phones, just log in the account to restore from cloud backup, and even the desktop APP layout can be restored intact.

The battery capacity of PRO6 has always been criticized by the media. The capacity of 2560mAh is really small. The cell phone with a battery capacity of more than 1000 yuan is not up to 3000+. Who makes PRO6 so thin? Fortunately, fast charging can make up some psychological gaps. In fact, it can last for a day with the power saving mode.

Background program management is a good function, which can be accessed by scanning the Internet from the bottom of the screen with your thumb. It is very convenient to operate. Some APPs support split screen browsing, which is more suitable for chatting while watching news.

The address book and SMS have been deeply customized, and some functions need to be connected to the Internet. Personally, I think the express inquiry and ticket booking in Yellow Pages are more practical.

The weather interface is simple and generous. Animation and pictures will change in real time as the weather changes. The temperature change curve will ingeniously segment the real-time weather and weather forecast. You can see more information such as air quality, wind force, sunrise time and clothing index by drawing up.

The calculator is also deeply customized. It can convert case and exchange rate with one key. Those who are engaged in accounting will like these practical functions.

Finally, let's take a look at the mobile phone butler of PRO6. Although there are not many functions, the reserved functions are more practical, such as memory cleaning, traffic management, self startup management, etc. The author has not used LBE+green guard for a long time.

About Super AMOLED.

The 5.2 inch screen used by PRO6 is a new panel of Samsung's 5.5 generation line, Super AMOLED, resolution 1080P , contrast 10000:1, PPI 423.6, brightness 350cd/m2, transparent and bright picture, uniform color and chroma performance.

First, what is Super AMOLED?

AMOLED, Super Active Matrix/Organic Light Emitting Diode, the structure of the screen has three layers, from the top number is: Cover Lens+Touch Screen+AMOLED display screen, while the Super AMOLED structure used by PRO6 has two layers, from the top number is: Cover Lens+AMOLED Touch module, the middle touch sensing layer is made on the AMOLED display layer 。

What are the advantages of Super AMOLED over traditional AMOLED and TFT LCD?

Compared with traditional AMOLED and TFT LCD, the Super AMOLED panel is lighter and thinner, more sensitive to touch, brighter colors, and lower power consumption, This involves several different processes for the integration of touch and display. At present, there are OGS, in cell and on cell processes. OGS is to make the sensing line above Cover Lens, in cell is to make the sensing line inside the display panel (below CF), and on cell is to make the sensing line above CF of the display panel. Because of the integration of display and touch chips, The thickness of the sensing circuit substrate and the times of bonding are reduced, and the optical glue is filled without an air layer, reducing the refraction and diffuse reflection of light, so that the display color is brighter, the structure is more firm, the touch is more sensitive, and the power consumption is lower.

Theoretically, if the AMOLED+OGS scheme is used, the overall thickness of the touch module will be thinner, and the PRO6 will also make the whole body thinner. However, the cost, yield and other factors will affect the final use of AMOLED+oncell. In the actual use process, the author believes that although Super AMOLED has gorgeous colors, its overall color is cold, Due to the influence of blue light in LED on eyes, eyes will be tired after watching for a long time at night. Fortunately, PRO6 cleverly provides eye protection function.

About 3D Press, innovation or chicken ribs?

The legendary 3D Press in the Android Jianghu has finally been mass produced for the first time on PRO6. It uses ClearForce technology developed by Synaptics. Its operation is similar to Apple 3D Touch, different from the traditional click and slide gestures. It can sense the change of pressure on the screen in real time, making the touch change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional without actually opening the program, The corresponding preview results and mobile phone hotkey functions can be called out, thus improving the efficiency of mobile phone operation. It sounds very tall and handsome, but the content still needs to be expanded. For example, there are relatively few third-party APPs supported. At present, the mainstream ones such as Alipay and WeChat have a monotonous use scene, high learning costs, and less obvious improvement of user experience. I hope that the follow-up efforts will continue, Adapt more APPs to join this camp.

So, what is 3D Press technology?

Every time a finger presses on the screen, it will cause subtle changes in the height and direction of the screen. 3D Press senses the pressure of the press through the pressure sensors arranged between the screen and the metal support plate, and carries out hundreds of hertz precision detection and calculation of these minor deformations, so as to identify the size of the press force and obtain the hidden options and vibration feedback of the APP.

Where can 3D Press be applied?

According to the actual use of PRO6's 3D Press, there are only two functions that can be realized: 1 Press the APP icon to pop up the hidden hotkey menu, such as map, email, notes, etc; 2. Press the hotspot to pop up the hidden preview screen, such as pictures, emails, etc; In addition to native software, apps that support hotkey function have successfully accessed more than 10 applications such as WeChat, Weibo and Alipay.

What is the future of 3D Press?

3D Press pressure touch technology has a revolutionary interactive experience, representing the future development direction. At present, Meizu has released the development interface of 3D Press, encouraging developers to develop and adapt applications accordingly. In the future, more third-party APPs will join, which will lay a solid foundation for realizing the ecological layout of 3D Press.

Others doubt this. They think that the application scenario of 3D Press is narrow, the user learning cost is high, and the actual experience is not improved much. So, I want to express that when fingerprint recognition was first introduced into mobile phones, some people also hold the same view. Now fingerprint recognition has gradually cost the standard configuration of high-end mobile phones, Huawei Samsung and ZTE are the first Android manufacturers to mention the 3D Press function, and Meizu is the first to mass produce the 3D Press function? Meizu is not so much a gamble as an innovation in a new way of interaction. Its brilliance is not limited to its technology itself, but its huge impact on the current entire Android camp.

About sound quality.

The PRO 6 adopts Cirrus Logic decoding ear amplifier integrated chip, which is committed to accurately restoring the original flavor of music. Compared with the configuration of the PRO 5 ES9018K2M and the OPA amplifier, the PRO 5 lacks an independent OPA amplifier. Pushing the hoop headset should have an impact, but it feels good to listen to music every day. The sound is clean and powerful, and it just uses the recently acquired Moni headset, which is 40mm in size, Li Ronghao's "Will Not Deal" has fewer high-frequency parts, and the performance of middle and low frequencies is acceptable. The bass of "Empire of Angle" is thick and powerful, without too much sound pollution.

By the way, the sound quality of PRO6's external loudspeakers, thanks to the mSound technology, is equipped with NXP's third-generation Smart PA system. Through real-time perception of the status of the external loudspeakers, the vibration of the loudspeakers is intelligently controlled, so as to fully extract the performance of the loudspeakers, greatly improve the overall loudness and low frequency quality of the sound, loud and clear, so that the external loudspeakers can reach the quasi Hi Fi level, Personally, I think it's very good. The treble is not broken, and the low frequency is thick. It's hard to believe that the voice comes from such a thin cavity. I like it.

About charging and endurance.

The charging adapter of Meizu PRO 6 has excellent 24W charging power, output 5V or 8V@3A ， 12V@2A Compared with the mainstream 5V/2A scheme, the speed is up to 140%. The official data shows that 26% can be charged in 10 minutes, and it is basically full in one hour. The author charges about 75% in 40 minutes in actual use, and the charging efficiency of the later stage is relatively slow.

No load voltage 5.08V.

Voltage [email protected] The front part of the charging body is heated, and the back end is gradually recovering. The charger equipped with PRO6 has the mCharge 3.0 technology, which is developed by Meizu in cooperation with MediaTek and Texas Instruments. The three IC chips communicate and cooperate continuously according to the body temperature, battery voltage, usage scenarios and other data, dynamically switch between high and low voltage, and are committed to safe charging and accurate power distribution.

portable source [email protected] Stable output, no heating of the body.

The 7.25mm fuselage challenges the structural superposition, and also puts forward higher requirements for the battery volume. Meizu PRO6's battery capacity is 2560mAh, and it is worried that it will not last for a whole day. Thanks to the low power consumption of AMOLED and the optimization of software, from the perspective of the effect of international use, the endurance still gives me a big surprise. Under normal (non heavy) use conditions, it will be fully charged at 7:00 in the morning, At 11:00 p.m., the remaining power is about 10%.

About cameras.

The PRO 6 main camera uses Sony's Exmor RS IMX230. For the 7.25mm body, the camera module has been customized to make the camera no longer bulge. The PDAF function has been further upgraded to make the actual shutter shooting more crisp, no sense of procrastination, that is, click and shoot. In addition, the laser assisted focusing module has been upgraded, and the farthest focusing recognition distance has reached 2m. However, how about the actual photography effect?

It's a sunny evening.

It's about 6 pm on a sunny day.

It's about 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a cloudy day.

It's about 7 o'clock in the morning on a sunny day.

About 6:30 p.m. on a sunny day.

Daily recording of beautiful moments in life is simple, convenient and easy to take. From the actual use, the PRO6 camera has fast opening speed, fast focusing speed, clear pixels, and good photo color restoration. Personally, I am relatively satisfied. If there is a physical camera button, it would be better. What's more, where is the good optical anti shake? If you want to make a blockbuster, it is not a concept that you have no choice but a SLR.

Adhering to the concept of "standing for dreams and reaching for love", we are committed to creating better products ？

In general, PRO6, a small screen flagship phone, has no obvious beauty. It is the best one among Meizu's products in terms of industrial design by far. Its comprehensive performance is relatively balanced. It performs well in playing games, listening to music, taking photos, etc. Black technologies such as 3D Press, mCharge3.0, Type C+USB 3.1 also add color to it. It is a flagship phone worth recommending, Looking back over the past year, Meizu has made frequent moves. Ali's investment, layout of the ecological chain, and increase of product lines have led to a sharp rise in mobile phone sales. People always talk about it before and after tea. Is Meizu different from Xiaomi today? Still adhering to the original dream?

Personally, the way out for Meizu is With the promotion of core technologies or products and the establishment of the ecosystem, Xiaomi Department Store has taken the first step. Whether it is investing in 100 or 200 intelligent hardware companies, internal friction is an inevitable trend without an internal ecological chain to form internal links or without cohesion. For example, the battle effectiveness of a fleet without scheduling can never become an aviation fleet, Relatively speaking, actively promoting core technologies and products is the basis for the survival of enterprises. If Samsung does not have a foothold in core technologies such as panel, chip and storage, it is estimated that other livelihood industries cannot be talked about, isn't it?

On May 10, Xiaomi's new product launch conference launched MIUI8 in a high profile. What is the core competitiveness of Meizu? Hope Meizu is running at a high speed Don't forget your original intention on the way.
