[Preface]

At 799, Meilan note3 belongs to Meilan series and is positioned at the low-end model of Meizu. It is a mobile phone with a price of 1000 yuan. It will never be comparable to the current flagship and midrange computers. Maybe you can see the front fingerprint identification, metal body, phase focusing, 2.5D glass, and think they are only available on the flagship aircraft. But please rest assured that the price of the 799 can't go up in the sky. Since the manufacturer can let you see the powerful configuration, it can always save money where you don't know it; 799 yuan can buy the appearance of PRO5 but not the interior of PRO5. So we still need to use the attitude of a thousand yuan mobile phone to see whether Meilan note3 can meet the consumer demand of the masses in the thousand yuan mobile phone market. As the latest flagship model of Meilan series, what experience will it bring us?

[Unpacking]

As a more and more mainstream design concept, simplicity has become the main element of mobile phone packaging design, which also conforms to the positioning of this young product. The package design is a little tight. After opening the upper cover of the package, you can see the main character to be evaluated - Meilan note3. Family photo: mobile phone body, power adapter, USB data cable, warranty card, quick operation guide and card player.

[Appearance]

Good design inheritance is the design direction Meizu products have always adhered to, which also makes Meizu products more family product characteristics than Xiaomi, and also has higher product unity and recognition. Meilan note3 uses a 5.5 inch 2.5D curved screen with full 1080P fit on the front. The pixel density is 403PPI and the brightness is 450nits. I think this level of mobile screen can meet the daily needs in the experience. In fact, from the beginning of 1080P to the latest 4K screen, although the display level of mobile screen has been constantly improving, However, 1080P has always been the mainstream. Meilan note3 is equipped with 153.6x75.5x8.2mm appearance size and 163g weight, which also conforms to the user's existing impression of this 5.5 inch mobile phone. Symmetrical design is adopted for the openings on both sides of the phone of Meilan note 3. The cameras and sensors are distributed on both sides of the phone. The simple design language makes Meizu's mark more obvious and makes the phone look more harmonious. The other 360 N4 with high cost performance ratio adopts a more personalized round design, each with its own style, But I think this symmetrical design is more easily recognized by users.

From the back of the metal fuselage to the bottom, there are 13 million main cameras, dual color temperature flash lights and Meizu's new logo. The transition between the plastic signal at the upper and lower ends and the metal part is relatively natural. The T-slot design that was previously grooved has been polished at the edge of the slot. The thickness of 8.2mm is not thin, but fortunately it is not so cut in the hand. The top of the machine body is a headphone hole and a noise reduction microphone, and the bottom is a microphone, a USB interface and a speaker.

The right side of the fuselage is integrated with a volume key and a power key, which are all concentrated on the highlight groove. The keys feel good, and there is no looseness.

On the left and right are three simple physical keys and sim card slots. The sim card slot adopts a dual card design, which can be used to install nano sim and micro sim sim cards. If only a single card is used, the other card slot can also be used to install TF cards. This mainstream add-on design has become an essential conscience match for thousands of computer users!

[System Experience]

The Flyme OS version is 5.1, which is developed based on Android 5.1. The system UI is simple and blue, and the setting interface also returns to the standard version of Android. The system icon is irregular in shape. The third-party icon can choose the Flyme style or the software's own style.

From the perspective of interface icons and interface style, Flyme has its own style. It does not deliberately pursue the unified round corner design or box design of icons, but more pursues to ensure the original icon style. It completes the integrity of icons through the unified layout of background and icon colors! In Flyme's system, it also provides practical functions such as toolbox, weather, notes, recorder, and scanning for users' needs.

In terms of single handed optimization, Flyme OS has also made a lot of efforts. For example, sliding up on the homepage can realize global search, and sliding down can call up the notice bar. Background applications are stacked, but the clearing function on the top is not convenient to operate. There is a split screen function in the upper right corner of each background application, which is a good user experience for users who need to open two applications at the same time. In operation In the settings, Flyme OS can realize a variety of gesture wake-up operations, such as double clicking the bright screen and some quick and customizable gesture operations. There are also levitation ball settings, which can be realized through levitation ball after opening

Charm blue The fingerprint entry of note 3 is similar to but different from that of Apple ， It only needs one entry to complete scanning, and fingerprint can be used for screen unlocking, document security, application encryption, and secure payment Lock. Yes. In the unlocking test, the performance of Meilan note 3 is quite eye-catching both in terms of unlocking speed and accuracy. If fingerprint unlocking is not required, it can still be performed on the screen as required Unlock.

[Camera experience]

Meilan note3 provides 13 million pixel rear camera in camera configuration, and adds PDAF phase focusing technology. The front camera is 5 million cameras, providing beauty effect and manual mode. The maximum shutter time is 10S, and the minimum ISO is 100! The LED flash light with dual color temperature is equipped below the rear camera. As a RMB 799 thousand machine, the overall configuration of the Meilan note3 is moderate and not excellent, especially in the night view! Now let's take a look at the imaging ability of Meilan note3 through several samples! In the case of strong light, Magic Blue Note 3 can still ensure good color saturation, and the effect is reassuring. The restoration of sky blue is more vivid, and perhaps higher saturation can be more pleasing. As for whether this bright imaging style is your dish, it depends on your own needs. The performance of macro is not bad, no matter the effect of background virtualization, or the details of leaves or flowers, they are all very good

[Performance and endurance]

Meilan note3 is equipped with MediaTek Helio P10 eight core processor, with the highest main frequency of 1.8GHz and the GPU of Mali T860. 2GB+16GB and 3GB+32GB are two combination modes. The author uses the combination of 2G+16G in the experience process, but how does the experience feel? Let's have a look.

The first way to evaluate and understand Android phones is to use Anthare software Run points for Meilan note 3, The comprehensive score of Meilan note3 is 43053, which should be good for the 799 yuan mobile phone However, it is definitely the mid tier configuration level, and the score is also very good for positioning the price of the product. We have a general understanding of the score level of mobile phones, and more importantly, we need actual experience.

In the actual game experience, no matter it is a small cool run game or a large 3D game, there will be no obvious "stuck" phenomenon. However, when the backstage is open too much, there will still be a shortage. So if you want to use it comfortably, you'd better not save 200 yuan and buy the 3G version directly. As for the endurance performance, the latest Helio P10 processor of MediaTek, MT6755, is used in the Meilan Note 3 this time. Its main selling points are: first, it supports full network communication, and second, low power consumption. Compared with the competitor Qualcomm's products, the Snapdragon 617 and Helio P10 have the same performance parameters in most aspects. In general, the MT6755 has better performance than the Snapdragon 617. Compared with last year's Helio X10 processor, the power consumption has decreased by 15%. Therefore, it has become one of the support points of the selling points of Meilan note3, followed by the 4100mAh super capacity battery.

Meilan Note 3's charger is 5V/2A. Compared with the current era of fast charging, it can't catch up with the high-end mobile phones that are full in an hour. However, the cost of 799 yuan has determined that it can't be equipped with fast charging function! 　

As shown in the figure above, the Meilan Note 3 can charge 43% of the battery in one hour and 90% in two hours. It takes about 150 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%. As a 4100mAh mobile phone, this is also normal if it does not have the fast charging function! What's more, you can't wait until 0% to recharge it, can you?  

Summary

Meizu products have always adhered to the concept of "youth good products", and it can be seen from more and more products of Meizu series that it has made great efforts to stick to the user experience.
