In 2016, more and more domestic mobile phone brands began to play the "machine sea tactics" once played by Samsung, HTC and other international manufacturers. One mobile phone a month seems to have become a commonplace. Perhaps for users, the endless emergence of new machines is not a bad thing, but rather makes those who like to use new machines feel happy. Meizu seems to be the best among such manufacturers. It was once said that Meizu has "32 press conferences" a year.

Although Meizu held a lot of press conferences this year and released three new models (Meilan note 3, PRO 6 and Meilan 3) in one month, everyone jokingly called Meizu "Zihi". However, the growth of Meizu mobile phones in the past two years, especially this year, can be seen by everyone. And almost all Meizu's new machines seem to be better than the "old enemy" Xiaomi in terms of appearance and cost performance.

The dream continues, and the flagship of fast charging photography appears

On July 19, Meizu's press conference came again. This time, MX Dream Series, once the flagship series of Meizu, has been replaced by PRO series. In fact, as far as Meizu is concerned, the MX series is absolutely classic. Since the m8, I have been exposed to almost all Meizu models. The most amazing thing for me is the MX2 in the MX series: double plastic injection back cover, front luminous dot Home button, and Meizu 16:10 widescreen at that time.

Today's MX series has become the main force of Meizu in the mid market. The former flagship of Meizu has been replaced by the later "PRO". So does Meizu MX6 become meaningless? The author also received the Meizu MX6 experience machine at the first time. I believe that by reading this article, you will know a "real dream".

MX6 unpacks without losing the flagship design

Let's talk about the packaging box first. Meizu has abandoned the traditional book flip packaging box design of MX series and changed to this simple packaging style. However, it seems that there is still some shadow of the original, which will give people a very familiar feeling.

Open the packaging box and tear the sealing strip to see the MX6 body. On the right side of the phone is the accessory box of the MX6. Pull it out and open it to see the power adapter, data cable and other accessories of the phone.

Three months ago, Meizu released its high-end flagship PRO 6 and adopted the design of "early sniping" iPhone 7. The MX6 this time can be said to be a low configuration version of PRO6. The whole shape of the MX6 continues the design of the PRO 6. Even the "King of Jiong" yellow seal said on the microblog: "If the appearance of the PRO series was not used, the MX6 would be the best MX phone in my heart."

Meizu has launched new machines more and more frequently recently, and almost all new machines are similar in front and back, but this time the MX6 continues the design of PRO6, which I don't dislike.

First of all, the appearance of PRO 6 seems to be in line with that of the iPhone 7 that has not yet been released. The pictures of the back cover of the iPhone 7 that circulated before finally became PRO 6. Maybe this is a marketing event of Meizu, but I have to say that the design of PRO 6 is really amazing.

This time, the MX6 continues to be used as the appearance design of the flagship PRO 6 of Meizu, which enables a model of a mid tier brand to compete with the flagship in appearance, and also allows users to win back some of the price they paid.

If I can use a word to describe the MX6 I saw at the first sight, I think it must be "mellow". The body of the whole mobile phone can be said to fit perfectly, and there is really nothing to be picky about in the connection between the front panel and the metal body of the mobile phone. Holding the whole MX6 in hand, it really feels more comfortable than other manufacturers' models of the same size.

The reasons for the conclusion are summarized as follows: First, the MX6 body is very narrow, only 75.2mm, so the sense of holding with one hand is definitely a plus, thanks to Meizu's traditional narrow frame design; Second, Meizu's recent models can be said to draw on the iPhone to some extent. It is easy to see from the appearance of Meilan that it resembles the iPhone 5c. This kind of reference actually works well in the domestic mobile phone market, because the design of the iPhone itself can be said to be the optimal solution, especially the excessive roundness at the edge of the whole mobile phone, which will not make the hand uncomfortable at all, and the MX6 gives a feeling no worse than that of the iPhone. In addition to the exquisite sandblasting texture, the MX6 can definitely be said to be one of the best handfeel of domestic mobile phones this year.

What makes people's blood gush is the routing of signal lines. When the PRO 6 came out, this kind of curved signal wire made everyone call "iPhone 7" directly. In fact, it doesn't mean that such a curved signal line will make your mobile phone signal much better, but after the appearance of iPhone 6, almost all domestic mobile phones, as long as they have the same design, are basically the same. Meizu's change on PRO 6 is not only a micro "innovation", but also makes many people feel like using iPhone 7 in advance. However, if compared with PRO 6, the MX6 signal line is not as bent as PRO 6.

In terms of hand feel, there is really nothing I can find out about the MX6. If I have to find fault with it, maybe the 5.5 inch screen size phone is not as "reliable" as the 5 inch or 5.2 inch phone.

The MX6 still uses the 5.5 inch screen of the MX5, but in terms of the whole MX series product line, the 5.5 inch screen is slightly larger. In fact, for all of us, the 4.4 inch, 16:10 screen in the MX2 era is actually the most classic. Of course, the author is just nostalgic here. After all, with the big screen and Meizu's super narrow edge design, 5.5 inches can be easily controlled by most of our users' palms.

The front of Meizu MX6 is basically the same as the latest Meizu new machine. It adopts the popular "big white face" symmetrical trial design: the front camera and light sensor of the phone are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the handset.

5.5 inch, Meizu MX6 uses a 1080P screen from Sharp, instead of the OLED screen that has been speculated by the outside world. In addition, with only 3050mAh of power, it seems that the MX6 will have difficulty in endurance. However, the endurance is mainly determined by your own usage habits and scenarios, which vary from person to person.

Speaking of Meizu's innovation, I think the front "round waist" Home button is really a big point. Of course, let me explain here that the so-called round waist style is not exclusive to Meizu. OPPO and vivo are both in use, but the Home key like this is named by Meizu. But what I want to say is not the shape design of the Home key, but interaction. Meizu hides the three keys of Android and uses one entity key to complete the interaction of all Android systems. My favorite is to touch the Home button (not press it) to return to the previous step globally. Meizu does have a patent for this function, so Xiaomi 5 is equipped with a front fingerprint identification button, and a touch can only return to the desktop, but it cannot return to the previous level.

At the MX6 launch conference, Meizu unexpectedly announced that all its fingerprint identification phones will support WeChat payment. In fact, the fingerprint identification used by Meizu mobile phones before is the solution of Alipay, so it is no problem to support Alipay fingerprint identification payment. However, this time Meizu doesn't know whether it has reached an agreement with Tencent. WeChat also supports fingerprint identification security payment, and all previous models support it after upgrading firmware. At this moment, Meizu's cost performance advantage is prominent. You should know that at present, no Xiaomi model supports the pattern recognition payment of Alipay or WeChat.

Bless Helio X20, it's good if you can use it

Recently, Meizu and Qualcomm have been involved in a lawsuit, and it is difficult for us to judge which is right or wrong. After all, this is just a business matter. As our real users, it is the most important that the mobile phone has a good performance. At present, although the processor performance of Qualcomm platform is really strong, Samsung's own chips are not inferior to Qualcomm, and MTK platform has a series of 10 core processors with good performance, so Meizu has been using the processors of Samsung and MTK platform.

The Helio X20 processor is installed on the MX6. In fact, it is enough as a mid tier product. But in everyone's eyes, MTK processors sell for less than 1000 yuan, and the MX6's 1999 yuan price may be unacceptable to many people. However, the pricing of mobile phones does not only consider the processor. MX6 people feel that the sincerity is quite sufficient.

In addition to Helio X20 processor, Meizu MX6 is also equipped with Mali-T880 graphics core, 4GB running memory and 32GB storage capacity. This combination is not strong in today's mobile phone market, but it is also sufficient.

IMX386 premiered, and the photo effect has improved greatly

This time, Meizu MX6 is equipped with a 1200w pixel camera. But what is more special is that this camera has never been used by any mobile phone before, because this is the first time Sony IMX386 CMOS has been unveiled. As an upgraded version of IMX286, what is the imaging level of IMX386? Let's take a look at the sample:

In general, the imaging quality of the MX6 is much better than that of the MX5, but there is still a gap between the MX6 and the PRO 6. This is mainly reflected in the analytical power of the overall sample. After all, the PRO 6 camera is 2000w, while the MX6 is only 1200w. However, the MX6 is still a good camera.

Loop Jacket, an intelligent protective sleeve that adds value to MX6

At Meizu's press conference, in addition to the appearance of the main character MX6, there was also a smart case called Loop Jacket. This protective cover adopts a flip design, and there is a circular ring window design on the front of the protective cover. Under the flip protection status, when the screen is lit, a circular interactive interface will appear.

This Loop Jacket is made of PC+PU material. The surface of PU is made of lychee texture, which is very comfortable to the touch. The logo of Meizu is printed on the back, and there is no other redundant design. The texture of the whole protective case is good. The design can only be simple and standard

This Loop Jacket is called an intelligent case, mainly because it gives Meizu MX6 a "different" interactive interface. Scan the QR code in the protective sleeve to download an application of Meizu see, through which you can achieve interaction in operation.

After closing the flip cover, we can directly touch operations such as changing the dial, taking pictures, answering/making calls and using the player through the hollow circular window. The whole interactive interface is round, so people have to think of smart watches. Indeed, the round interaction in the whole Loop Jacket seems to tell us that Meizu is going to produce a watch?

Among all the functions, I prefer the photo function. The round photographing interface gives you a particularly fresh feeling. You don't need to open the protective sleeve to find the camera app, just complete it directly in the round window. However, for the Appearance Party, such a protective sleeve is actually an icing on the cake for the MX6. As I said before, the MX6 mobile phone has a very good feel, and its appearance also follows the design of the flagship model. This protective case, whether in thickness or appearance, does not really give Meizu extra points, but it is innovative in function.

MX6 summary, redefining dreams

At the MX6 press conference, Meizu used three words to describe it: insight of mature technology, balanced but not mediocre configuration, and price matching dreams. That is to say, MX series mobile phones in the future will adopt the mid end configuration, and at the same time match with Meizu's current highest level of technology.

In fact, today, only smart phones have excess performance, what we really compete with is the hardware level technology. The MX6 is not inferior to the feel and workmanship of the iPhone, and indeed makes a mobile phone priced less than 2000 yuan more valuable. But for those who pursue performance fever, the MX6 may be too expensive.
