Meizu is also a mobile phone brand that Xiaobian contacted earlier in domestic phones. When I started using smart phones, Meizu was the second smart phone after Xiaomi. In the early days, Meizu preferred Xiaomi more. However, Xiaomi's design after 2S did not inspire me to buy. On the contrary, Meizu made breakthroughs in family style design, In PRO6, it was my favorite Meizu mobile phone; Of course, today we are trying Meilan 3S. Meilan 3S is like Xiaomi's red rice series in Meizu's product line. Why Meizu takes such a line, there must also be reasons for red rice; In any case, Meizu's Meilan series has a good appearance among thousand yuan mobile phones. At the same time, the metal body introduced by the 3S has ended the plastic life of Meilan series. Today, let's take a look at Meilan 3S, a thousand yuan mobile phone. Is it worth paying for!

The package of Meilan 3S is white on the whole, with large blue font product name logo on the front. It is simple on the whole, and also conforms to the positioning of Meilan series products. At the same time, the back is usually the relevant parameters of mobile phone products and other information; The packaging of Meilan 3S is not as high-end as the book style of MX series and the hard plastic box of PRO series, but the simple appearance and large character decoration also highlight the positioning of mobile phones, which also shows the young positioning of Meilan series.

The partition design inside the package includes the mobile phone body, mobile phone manual, three pack card, pin, power adapter, USB power cable and other standard accessories. This is understandable, and there are no more surprises. It is standard.

This time, I received a silver version. In terms of appearance, as the magic blue of the thousand yuan series, I liked the early design. Although the metal materials were not used in the early magic blue series, the integrated vision was still popular; The first impression I got from the appearance of the Meilan 3S was that it had a large visual thickness and did not look exquisite.

Meilan 3S does not adopt the big white symmetrical design like Meilan Note3 and PRO6, and white is added to the front panel of the previous generation Meilan 3. Meilan 3 is only black; The white front panel does not look very abrupt for 2.5D radian, while the black front panel looks slightly abrupt for 2.5D radian, in other words, it is too rich; There is only one 3.5mm headphone jack on the top.

Although the frontal forehead is not symmetrically designed, the external placement, charging socket and back at the bottom are symmetrically designed; Compared with the connection between the front panel and the frame of the previous generation Meilan mobile phone, the silver edging is added, which is similar to but different from the silver wing version of Meizu MX series. Compared with the silver wing version, it does not look exquisite, so this is what I mentioned above. The first impression is that the visual thickness has increased a lot.

Relatively speaking, because the back of the mobile phone is made of metal material, it adopts a three-stage design while considering the antenna signal problem, that is, the upper and lower parts are made of plastic material, and the middle part is made of metal material. However, Meizu has made transformation and innovation in the three-stage design, and has added a different refined design within the cost range, that is, the metal T-slot, The bright T-slot is removed at the joint of metal and plastic. This design is really different from the general joint mode; At the same time, due to the difference between metal and plastic, there will inevitably be color difference between the two materials when coloring, and this design makes the color difference connection look not too abrupt. At the same time, it is like the camera and the edge of the fill light have also been processed with highlight chamfering. Although they are all small knots, it can also be seen that Meizu is not ready in design.

Another thing worth praising is that Meizu's proud mTouch is also used on Meilan 3S. This physical button can be said to be another classic work of Meizu after the small circle, and has been imitated all the time, but never surpassed; It integrates light pressing back, pressing back to the main page, fingerprint identification and integration, which gives a better experience of physical keys in interaction. In the process of using Xiaobian, it is really practical, and after using the mobile phone with physical keys, it will automatically click. It can be seen that the interactive experience of this physical key is successful, In actual use, fingerprint entry requires about 15 times of effective entry (effective entry means that the finger position is not repeated when entering), and the more frequent entry brings high accuracy of unlocking.

Meilan 3S uses a 5.0 inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720P and a screen pixel density of 296PPI. Compared with the mobile phones on the market today, Meizu's Meilan 3S can be regarded as a small screen. In terms of grip, because the overall body is compact, it feels good to operate with one hand, and there is not much discomfort, At the same time, the black edge processing did not show Meizu's ability on Meilan 3S, and the black edge processing was not satisfactory.

On the 1000 yuan fuselage, the resolution processing and display effect of the screen are flat and faint, as is the case with the Magic Blue 3S. Although the 720P resolution is not as delicate as the 1080P resolution, the 296ppi performance seems to be fine enough, at least not particularly grainy; At the same time, from the aspects of color bar test and gray scale of software test, the color transition performance and visual angle of Meilan 3s are satisfactory, and the effect in actual use is also good.

For a long time, the performance of mobile phones has always been a concern in the actual experience, but it can not be intuitively expressed from the experience. Here we use mobile phone test software to take a look; Meilan 3S uses an entry-level MTK MT6750 eight core processor, 28nm HPM process, （4x1.5GHz+4x1GHz）， In combination with Mali-T860MP2 GPU image processing, the experience in video games is OK; From the score of Anthare, it reached 38372 points, ranking 30 in the comprehensive ranking list. This hardware performance is not very high in the thousand yuan machine, but it is already very good.

In terms of video and audio playback, the test results of Anthare basically meet the official standards, which can meet the needs of daily use in daily use. In the experience, the editors also played a lot of local videos in the format they see everyday, and there was no jam in use; In terms of the game, I tested my favorite racing game, Wild Racing 8. In terms of the picture and operation, I was very satisfied with the performance of the Magic Blue 3S in this game. There was no jam in the whole process, and the drifting overtaking was relatively smooth.

In terms of endurance, Meilan 3S has a built-in battery with a capacity of 3020mAh, so it is no problem to use the endurance experience for one day. Usually, it is just to check the news, brush the microblog, watch video chat, and make phone calls. The remaining power can be about 20% from one day to the night when it is used normally; In terms of charging, Meilan 3S does not support fast charging technology. The power adapter 5V-1.5A takes 64 minutes to charge from 5% to 55% in the actual charging. This charging speed is acceptable without fast charging.

In terms of photographing, Samsung is good in Android, while photographing in domestic manufacturers has always been a weak point. Of course, manufacturers are also seeking differentiation, and are also working hard in terms of photo optimization. For example, Nubia has always paid attention to photo experience; Meizu has always been well behaved in taking photos. Although it is not excellent, there is no problem in meeting the needs of daily use; Meilan 3S adopts a 13 million pixel rear camera and dual color temperature flash light. In terms of functions, the camera's manual light measurement is a personal favorite, and the focusing and imaging speed is relatively fast; However, there is a serious disadvantage of the Magic Blue 3S, that is, the white balance tends to be red in the case of insufficient light; Now let's look at the sample:

Meizu's Flyme system is also a good one among domestic manufacturers, Flyme also brings us a more fresh and simple visual experience, and in terms of system level functions, Flyme is not ambiguous. For example, the addition of levitation ball makes quick operation very convenient. In addition, the system level red envelope grabbing assistant and the large font simple mode are both good. The voice reminding of the red envelope assistant, while the simple mode is considerate for parents.

As an upgraded product, Meilan 3s, on the basis of maintaining Meizu's product style, has added fingerprint recognition mTouch, metal body and other upgrades. For the price of 699 yuan, compared with 599 yuan, Meilan 3s performs very well; What is most pleasing is that Meizu put the high-end mTouch on the Meilan 3S, and combined with the Flyme system, the experience is more satisfying; However, for example, the white balance of the camera is slightly red. Personally, there is still room for optimization, and Meizu should also do a good job in this regard; In general, the overall experience of Meilan 3S is good. Basically, we have everything we want. If we solve the problems in the experience, we believe that Meilan 3S will be better and more popular.
