·Preface

As one of the new leading brands of domestic mobile phones, Meizu has been expounding its mobile phone language in a unique way. In fact, Meizu has many domestic mobile phones contacted by Dawn. Including the initial generation of Meizu mobile phones and the later Meilan series, it feels that Meizu has followed the concept similar to Volkswagen in mobile phones!? We look the same, but we have different connotations. Meilan series, as Meizu's practical products, has brought outstanding achievements in terms of sales volume and user feedback. Today, Dawn is honored to get a new product of Meizu Meilan mobile phone series: Meilan 3s mobile phone. As the latest flagship model of Meilan series, what experience will it bring to us?

【1】 Product details

When I just opened the mail, Dawn thought it was the wrong thing. The small package has made Dawn suspicious! Yes, the package size of Meilan 3s mobile phone has been compressed to the extreme, which is basically the size of the phone outline plus the volume of a package. If you are an old Meizu user You must remember the gorgeous packaging of Meizu series. Of course, Meilan series is different from Meizu series. In order to focus on cost performance and practicality, there must be great differences in packaging.

Open the package, and we can see the original body. If dawn is watching others with naked machines I can't tell which model this is Meizu. It's a bit exaggerated, but it's true! Meilan 3s has completely continued Meizu's design language, and even started to get close to Meizu's series! But the most different thing about Meilan 3s is the highlight around the edge of the phone, as if to say to everyone: I am Meilan! Quiet~Quiet! Meilan 3s uses a fully fitted 5.0 inch screen, and the border width is also within the acceptable range.

The top of the phone is very clean. Except for the 3.5mm headphone jack, there is no element in it. Next to the earpiece are distance sensors, light and shade sensors, and front facing cameras. This time, the front camera pixel of Meilan 3s has reached 5 million pixels. Self timer fans must be very interested in this!

The bottom of Meilan 3s is completely designed by Meizu family. The microphone is on the left, the speaker is on the right, and the USB interface is in the middle. Because it is an integrated body, Meizu also designed the fixing screws to the bottom. In fact, I still remember a long time ago, when everyone made the bottom of the phone the same, many people around shouted and said at dawn when they got to the machine: look! My mobile phone is 2.0 channel, so cool! It took a long time for everyone to understand that the microphone and speaker were originally placed separately, but they did the same thing just to look good

Meilan 3s directly extended m-Touch to Meilan series this time, which is also a rare design of putting fingerprint module on the front of the fuselage of a hundred yuan machine, and Meilan 3s did it this time!

In fact, Dawn is very different. I don't know when the edge keys of the mobile phone were all designed to the right! The design is also adopted on the edge of the Meilan 3s body, with the volume button on the top and the power button on the bottom. In fact, what Dawn said is not that the design is bad, but that the unified design will give users a sense of intimacy in the experience. At first, when the iPhone became popular, no matter whether it was well designed or not, everyone was chasing to design the power button to the top of the body The mobile phone market today is no longer the original era~

If you see a familiar phone on the street and feel like Meizu, but you are not sure, you can be sure if you see the back! Meizu's family flavor on the back of the fuselage has reached its peak, as has Meilan 3s, which completely continues this design. Under the large round blackened camera is the flash lamp, and then below is the MEIZU-LOGO. The metal of the whole machine is sandblasted and anodized. It is very delicate visually and feels very good.

In the title, Dawn said that Meilan 3s is comparable to the 1000 yuan model. In addition to the front fingerprint identification, it also has a 2.5D panel with no small radian. In this picture, you can clearly see the thickness of the screen panel. It feels very good, and the transition to the surrounding highlight frame is smooth. Careful people can find that the three design colors of the Magic Blue 3s are not uniform, and the gray of the upper and lower sections is darker. In the past, many people commented that the color of the three-stage design was not uniform, so they didn't look at anything In fact, Dawn felt that this reasonable combination of depth would make the fuselage more layered.

【2】 Peripheral data

Although the package of Meilan 3s is small, there are many things in it, including a power cord and DC plug, three pack cards and pins. What Dawn wants to say is the DC plug design of Meilan 3s. Although manufacturers have made great efforts on the fuselage, they have forgotten the design concept of product details, including power cord and DC plug. Good DC plug design can improve your mobile phone when charging. The charging head of Meilan 3s is a beautiful one that Dawn saw in the 100 yuan machine. Here's a comment!

Meilan 3s also adopts a dual card slot design, and it is a multi-functional dual card slot. The so-called multi-functional dual card slot can insert an SD expansion card when a single card is used. The dual card of Meilan 3s is full network communication system, and there is no difference between primary and secondary cards. I remember that when I first came out of China Netcom, some machines deceived consumers under the banner of China Netcom. They not only had to divide the primary and secondary cards, but also when one card talked or connected with traffic, the other card was in a scrapped state This is also called All Netcom? ok That era has passed!

The thickness and weight of Meilan 3s mobile phones are basically the same as the official data. Meilan 3s is not thin and light among the same models, which is not important at dawn. Some people pursue the ultimate thinness, while Dawn has always liked models with a little thickness and weight since the beginning of the Saipan era. Such machines not only feel good when held in hand, but also avoid the most popular "bending" test. Yes, when the machine reaches a certain thickness, no matter what high-end materials you use, the strength of the natural machine will be reduced, of course

【3】 System analysis

Speaking of Meizu's Flyme system, I feel that I can't be familiar with it anymore This time, Meilan 3s is equipped with the latest Flyme5 system, which is based on Android 5.0. Like other Meizu models, it is in the latest state. The familiar interface, familiar LOGO, familiar figure and operation are the familiar feeling and every fine change, which make Flyme system have a good user group and evaluation feedback.

Flyme5 is also a 2D style operating UI. Its simple design can no longer be simplified with various applications matched with solid colors, making Flyme5 very comfortable visually. No matter in the application of image library or calendar, it is basically simple and can't be simplified any more. It is very easy to use without too much decoration and useless options. Complex UI is not the dish of dawn. Maybe now we have begun to get used to this extreme simplicity design style, right?

Everyone likes to have their own app store, game store, and main store, which is the only channel for manufacturers to earn users' profits after selling mobile phones. This dawn is not against it, but it has facilitated the user's experience in some cases. It is important to check the entrance and not let people download the bound or toxic software. As for others, Dawn is more concerned about the update speed and freshness.

Like other mobile phones, Flyme5 also has built-in security center, file management and other common tools that are necessary for daily use I remember that many years ago, after we bought our mobile phones, we had to download anti-virus software and file managers into them Those painful days~but what Dawn didn't understand most was this map function. Most of the maps built in mobile phones were provided by Baidu or Gaode, while the maps built in Flyme5 were different. Dawn turned over and over without finding any clues. Is it Meizu's own map? Cow forehead!

Some applications adopt a more streamlined design, such as calculator and recording function. The most interesting one is Flyme5's voice interaction system. At dawn, it is flirting. Do you know B-BOX I usually use this method to flirt with mobile phones when I get them. Of course, most mobile phones with weak voice background can't answer this question

extremely I like the built-in application of Flyme5, which is the built-in toolkit. To be honest, people who often work outside sometimes really need some handy tools, but we can't carry some guys with us everyday. The built-in toolbox of Flyme5 includes functions such as a magnifying glass and a ruler, in addition to the flashlight and compass commonly found in ordinary mobile phones. These functions can only be realized by downloading software. The most interesting thing is that the flashlight can also adjust the brightness, domineering, which I like!

Dawn hates downloading some built-in applications (for example, the mobile phone has a browser, and other browsers). This not only takes up the memory and running speed of the mobile phone, but the main thing is that it is very boring to use! The speed of Flyme5's built-in browser is fairly fast, almost comparable to a 2000 yuan mobile phone. In fact, most of the time, the speed of the browser is not the browser itself, but the hardware support of the mobile phone.

I don't know when it started to become popular, and all the merchants' UIs support it (isn't this a rotten feature of a certain machine?). In fact, it is just to respond to the trend of some users who are tired of using Apple phones turning to Android camp Dawn can only be understood in this way. Meilan 3s adopts mTouch2.1 frontal fingerprint identification for fingerprint identification, 360 degree dead angle identification, and can also choose to use the identification function to open the scope of authority in the settings. Dawn personally tested it for a period of time. Although the speed and probability of machine recognition is still a little lower than that of thousands of yuan, it can meet the needs of users.

【4】 Photo function

As one of the commonly used functions of mobile phones today, the camera function must be analyzed emphatically. Meilan 3s adopts a 13 million pixel f/2.2 aperture five chip PDAF phase focusing camera, and is equipped with dual color temperature flash. For the 100 yuan machine, this is already a flagship configuration. The built-in shooting functions are very rich, including ordinary application filters and manual, beauty, slow lens, panoramic and GIF animation, etc., which can be easily handled in daily use!

For people like Dawn who often shoot close range still lifes, the manual macro focus of each mobile phone is a frequently used and important function. Dawn tried to use it for a period of time, although the effect was not too ideal, but considering that the Meilan 3s was only a hundred yuan machine, there was nothing to say

For the details and processing of the distant view, the resolution of the 13 million pixel camera Meilan 3s still reaches the standard value. Although in terms of color reproduction, Dawn always thinks it looks strange, but the detailed description in the distance is OK However, sometimes when the image cannot be parsed, too much blurring makes the image look too soft.

In terms of photo color processing, the photos of Meilan 3s are too white. Although the details are not inferior to the powerful rivals, there are still great differences in the degree of color restoration. I hope that more adjustments can be made to the camera data in future updates.

【5】 Performance test

Meilan 3s has a built-in MTK MT6750 processor, which is an 8-core processor integrated by Cortex-A53 1.5GHz x4+ARM Cortex-A53 1.0GHz x4. In terms of image, the ARM Mali T860 graphics processor is mainly responsible for it. Meilan 3s is divided into two versions. Dawn has a low configuration version, that is, 2GB+16G storage configuration. The high configuration version is 3GB+32G. The difference between the two models is 200 yuan, and I think the low configuration version is more suitable for the cost performance requirements of Meilan 3s.

In terms of running performance, Meilan 3s reached 35716 in Anthare. Although it is not a high-end performance, it has achieved good results for the 100 yuan machine, and the overall ranking also reached the top 30. Well, I forgot that Dawn hates running points. I can't help it. In the image and text evaluation, only running points can directly reflect the performance.

【6】 Daily use

Speaking of daily applications, Dawn is most concerned about the grip of the phone! For a mobile phone with a 5.0 inch screen, the Meilan 3s is moderate in size. It is not very thin or light, but it is just this moderate effect, coupled with the texture contact of the fully sandblasted metal on the back, that makes the Magic Blue 3s very comfortable to hold in your hands. Dawn's palm is slightly larger, and the 5.0 inch mobile phone is held in the hand as if everyone once held the iPhone 4. The only flaw is that the bright edge of the screen is slightly abrupt from the back metal back cover (you can see it), but generally speaking, the grip is very good!

The resolution of Meilan 3s 5.0 inch display has reached 1280x720, and the contrast is 1000:1. The official data of brightness is 380 cd per square meter. Someone will say: I can't understand the brightness data! Actual on the hour! Now this picture is taken when the screen brightness reaches 3/2 brightness. Attention, 3/2 brightness! It can fully cope with the direct display effect in pure sunlight. The full fit screen of GFF scheme makes the screen very clear, and the black edges around the screen can be almost ignored.

·Summary of evaluation

From Meilan 2 to Meilan 3s at dawn, with the exploration of several generations of models, I think the language of Meilan series is to break through the shackles of traditional hundred yuan machines. If others have something, we should have it. If others don't have something, we should have it! It includes front fingerprint identification, 2.5D screen and other configurations, which are hard to see in other similar levels. However, Dawn thinks that the hardware performance of Meilan series needs to be adjusted, including the improvement of processors and the calibration of cameras. The appearance of the fuselage can not be said, it is definitely the best in this price range. But although we want to continue the family look, why not let the Meilan series show its unique special flavor? It's a little harsh In general, Meilan 3s is a good 100 yuan machine. In daily use, its existence will never make people think that you have a 100 yuan machine. Yes, this is Meilan A somewhat different 100 yuan flagship!
