Meizu Finally MX6 When it comes to us, it is no accident to continue the look of the PRO6. As a late model, will the MX6 hang its flagship PRO6 as rumored?
1: Appearance
The MX6 adopts a new design for the outer packaging, which is very creative. Personally, it looks much better than the plastic box of PRO6. The front side is printed with the lines of the front side of the MX6, and the back side is the relevant parameters of the mobile phone
After opening the box, you can see that the mobile phone and accessories are distributed on both sides of the box. In terms of accessories, the MX6 includes a USB Type-C data cable and a 24w charger (supporting MediaTek PEP and Qualcomm QC2.0 fast charging protocols). In today's market, chargers and data cables are so conscientious, which is really rare. After all, the charging rate has become more and more important in the user experience.
The front of the MX6 is covered with a piece of 2.5D glass, with obvious glass radian and excellent connection with the fuselage.
The upper part of the fuselage is divided into different light sensors, earphones and front cameras, and the overall distribution of white faces is adopted.
Under the fuselage, there is only a single round waist key, which integrates fingerprint identification function. Generally speaking, the front is just right, not bad looking. But to be honest, this face is really aesthetic fatigue. Moreover, as a high-end model, the Meilan series has seriously collided with the mileage, which is really embarrassing.
The MX6 and PRO6 have almost the same recipe and taste on the back. Except that the flash lamp changes back to a dual color temperature flash lamp, other designs are almost the same. The nano injection antenna, camera, logo, and engraving and marking on the bottom, etc. maintain an excellent level of hand feel. The back metal anodizing is fine, the frame is polished well, and there is no cutting in the hand, On the whole, it has maintained Meizu's outstanding sense of holding.
The camera part is slightly protruding. Although it is not convex, it is still much higher than PRO6 by comparison.
There is only one separate sub MIC on the top of the fuselage.
At the bottom, from left to right, there are 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C connector and speakers (all openings at the bottom are on the same horizontal line).
The left side of the fuselage is a dual sim card slot. The card holder is made of metal and does not support TF card expansion. On the right side of the fuselage are the power key and volume key. The key feedback is clear, and the keys are not obviously loose. The overall workmanship is solid.
Close up of protective sleeve
Appearance summary:
In appearance, the MX6 continues the appearance design of PRO6 without any doubt. In fact, this also conforms to its consistent logic. After all, Meizu even relegated the appearance of the MX5 to the Meilan series last year. It can be said that several generations were in the same room, enjoying themselves. In addition to their appearance, you have no choice but to look at them, which can be said to be an advanced version of finding fault together. I believe that the appearance of PRO6 this year will also be bad for Meizu if there is no accident. Of course, Xiaobian also hopes Meizu can take action to beat Xiaobian's face. After all, even Huawei and Xiaomi know how to work hard on the appearance of flagship products. If a company's product line is the same from top to bottom, it will really treat consumers too well. Disadvantages need to be boasted. The overall handle of the MX6 remains at a high level after the screen is increased to 5.5 inches. The place where the fingers can touch and slide is smooth to the end. It can be seen that Meizu's technology of polishing the metal body and connecting 2.5D glass with the body has reached the level of perfection. The mechanical keys (including the Home key) on the fuselage have excellent keyway and are not saggy, which can also show Meizu's intentions. Finally, expanding the product line is a good thing, but if the internal design cannot keep up with the overall product line, it will become blind expansion. While running, it is particularly important not to forget the original intention.
2: System experience
The latest version of the system is 5.2.2.0A, based on Android 6.0. The usable capacity of the MX6 is about 25.42GB, which performs well.
Flyme is very compact in the overall operation interface. The pull-down menu adopts frosted glass effect and a two-stage design, which can be pulled down at any point on the desktop.
Slide up from any position at the bottom of the screen to call up the multi task bar. The multi task bar is in card form, but the one button cleaning is set at the top, which is not humanized enough. The user clicks and moves his palm, hoping Meizu can improvement. In addition, because the MX6 uses Type-C interface, its USB 3.0 connection transmission mode can be enabled after the USB 3.0 interface of the computer is plugged in. The transmission rate will be greatly improved, but it will have a certain impact on mobile phone signals. Users can choose according to their needs.
All built-in application programs and operation modes in the system are unified, from content to local to settings, and they are switched by sliding left and right, which greatly reduces the user's learning cost, and the unified UI screen is more consistent with the current aesthetic.
Flyme's built-in mobile butler has rich and simple functions. With its clean and simple UI interface, even small white users can quickly set their own permission configurations. Virus detection and garbage cleaning can easily clean up the system cache and rogue pirated software.
The harassment interception function in the mobile phone butler is powerful, providing users with a variety of modes to choose from. Users can customize the most suitable interception method according to their own conditions, giving them the most clean mobile phone use environment.
The core of the mobile phone butler is its own self start management. Users can simply click the switch to give self start permission, and it also has a mutual start blocking function to let users open My heart said goodbye to the whole family. In those days, it was difficult to block mutual wake-up. It not only required the ROOT system, but also downloaded apps such as green guard, block wake-up and so on. This was an impossible task for Xiaobai users.
The phone book has a built-in yellow page, which is convenient for users to use when traveling on business. In addition, it has an internet phone function. When both parties are Meizu mobile phones and in the latest system version, they can make calls by turning on the internet phone function, and it has the function of intelligent identification of strange numbers, which can display the type of strange calls in real time through online updates (such as express delivery, real estate, etc.). Among the basic telephone functions, Flyme is considerate and comprehensive.
Flyme messages are divided into two categories: personal messages and notifications. Users can easily view their own messages or notification messages such as banks and operators by classification. In addition, it also contains network information. If both parties are Meizu users, they can send messages through the network by turning on the network information function (this function is also optional under WeChat).
Flyme's fingerprint module can protect users with such conventional functions as unlocking, application encryption, document encryption, etc There is the mback function. Tap the home key to return, and click it to return to the desktop. It is easy to use and urgent. To be honest, it is really a function that is difficult to return after using. In addition, Flyme's hidden kill tactic is the system's own Root permission. Users can give root permission to each application according to their own conditions, which makes it convenient for those who like to play with frameworks and so on. Even if Xiaobai tries the new world of root like himself Don't be afraid of the complex Root process leading to the system crash and re brushing and other tragedies. It is a good feature worth praising. Finally, there is a kill move for one handed operation, levitation ball+gesture wake-up. Both have custom modules The levitation ball can achieve different levels of exchange or functions by clicking it anywhere, while gesture wake-up can be directly opened, operated or unlocked on the black screen, so that you are no longer constrained by the size of the phone.
System summary:
In fact, the homogenization of the current domestic customization system is quite serious. In addition to some UI gaps, the functionality and operating experience are basically the same. It can be said that the skin does not change the bone, while Meizu's Flyme has gone through 4.0 After the painful lesson of the version, we can see that it has really made great efforts in 5.0. Whether compared with previous Flyme or other customized systems, the differences and functional coverage focus can be seen at a glance. To be honest, Meizu has always been "stubborn" on the system side from the beginning to the present. Unique behavior runs through Meizu. Finally, I want to say that Meizu is not the Meizu at the beginning, but it is still the Meizu at the beginning, no matter whether it is good or bad.
3: Performance
In terms of performance, I believe this year's joke can well describe the performance of the MX6: one core is difficult, and nine cores are around..... According to the actual measurement, the two A72 cores of the Helio X20 processor are almost closed in real machine operation (except when running minutes), which results in the MX6 being basically in an awkward situation like the PRO6 in the four mobile phones compared.
However, the Mali-T880 MP4 used by Helio X20 processor in GFX2 test scenarios and 3DMARK performance is also unsatisfactory, far from Adreno 530 used by Snapdragon 820. In 2K15 performance, MX6 also has obvious frame drop, and the frequency is not low.
In terms of storage, Meizu MX6 adopts eMMC5.1 32GB storage, and its overall performance is excellent except that it cannot compare with UFS 2.0.
Performance summary:
From the test results, the overall performance of the MX6 can only be said to be enough. In addition, there is a problem of frame dropout in large-scale games, which is far from its definition of "flagship" performance. However, the minor editor has teased this problem in the PRO6 evaluation before, so there is no need to talk too much about it.
4: Screen data
The MX6 is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080P Sharp TDDI screen, 403PPI. The machine provides three color temperatures of warm color, standard color and cool color for users to choose. The maximum brightness of the screen is about 500 nits, the NTSC color gamut is 78%, and the color temperature is 7730K, which is close to the 7500K used by Asians. The average deltaE of 104 colors is 3.4, and the maximum deltaE is 10.9, which is above average in the tested screen. The contrast test result is 1263:1, which is lower than the official low point. On the whole, the overall screen observation is good.
5: Take photos
In terms of photography, the MX6 is equipped with Sony's latest customized IMX386 sensor. In fact, IMX386 can be regarded as an upgraded version of IMX286, with a specification of 12 million pixels, but with a pixel of 1.25 um, a 6P mirror set, and F/2.0 aperture, it supports phase focusing. It is very powerful in terms of specifications. How about its actual performance? In order to show the shooting performance of the MX6, we specially brought Huawei P9, Xiaomi 5 and its flagship PRO6 with similar price positioning for testing.
The shooting interface maintains the basic routine of Flyme5. Generally speaking, it is very simple. Users can select shooting mode by clicking the lower left corner, and set shooting parameters by clicking the upper right corner. However, many systems can Some commonly used functions are adjusted through gestures, such as mode switching by sliding left and right, entering professional photography mode by sliding up and down, etc. In contrast, the MX6 can only talk about the standard, which is not easy to use but can be used.
Daytime proof sheet
In scene 1, we can see that the high pixels of Xiaomi 5 and PRO6 still have a lot of advantages in details. After zooming in, we can see that the font details are more abundant, and the MX6 and P9 are a little weak compared.
In Scenario 2, we can see that the 4 mobile phones are tolerant in the high contrast scenario. Both the details in the sky and under the shade of trees are well considered. The only exception is that the Xiaomi 5 is too heavy in color with MSG, which is far from the real scene (the HDR of Huawei P9 cannot be completely closed, so the sample will be more tolerant than the normal model).
In scene 3, the four mobile phones are very good at the details under macro. The veins of petals and the details of stamens can be clearly seen. The MX6 is the best in color. The colors of flowers and green leaves are well restored. The colors of Xiaomi 5 and P9 are too saturated, and PRO6 is standard.
Night proof sheet
In scene 4, it can be seen that P9 is undoubtedly the best one among the four groups of samples. Both the noise in the night sky, the processing of light sources and the details of the western-style buildings are better than the other three machines. The problem of MX6 and PRO6 is that they are too heavily smeared and the noise in the night sky is relatively moving. The details of M5 are good, but the overall picture is green and the night sky is noisy.
In scene 5, we can see that Xiaomi 5 performs better under extreme weak light, and is closer to the naked eye in color. The details are also better than the other three mobile phones. Especially when we zoom in on the Robber's Ship logo, it can be seen that P9 follows closely, mainly because the color temperature is too rich and colorful, resulting in distortion. The performance of MX6 and PRO6 is almost the same, with serious smearing and serious loss of details.
In scene 6, the overall appearance of MX6 is the best, the picture is the brightest, and the chaotic color is also very good, which boosts people's appetite. In fact, the performance of the other three is not bad, but in contrast, the too dark color immediately makes people lose their appetite.
Photo summary:
It can be seen from the comparison of several sets of samples that the MX6 performs very well in the daytime. Although there is some difference in the discrimination between the MX6 and the models with high pixel sensors such as IMX298 Tolerance, color saturation and other aspects are all very good, but the overall strength of the MX6 will decline rapidly after the weak light at night. Excessive smearing will cause serious loss of details, and the noise after smearing will not be suppressed too well The whole appearance of the MX6 is very oppressive. Fortunately, this problem only occurs in low light. The performance is still acceptable at night when the light is sufficient. It can only be said that the software adjustment of the MX6 has been maintained as a whole In a word, the performance level of PRO6 is that the hardware quality is strong and the software adjustment is weak.
6: Endurance, heating and charging
The MX6 is equipped with a 3060mAh battery. After passing the 3-hour endurance test, the remaining power is 68%. It is in an awkward position in this year's popular aircraft, but it is better than its own big brother PRO6. Under the theory of poor performance and poor endurance, the performance of the MX6 really surprised the Xiaobian.
In terms of heating, after 25 minutes of 2K15 baking, the maximum front temperature of the MX6 appears at the top right of the screen, which is 43.9 degrees, and the maximum rear temperature appears at the top left of the fuselage, which is 42.5 degrees. Overall, it is not ideal. The fuselage has an obvious hot feel. It is reasonable to say that the performance of the MX6 plus 5.5 inch fuselage and all metal materials should not be so hot, It can be seen that the 20nm process adopted by Helio X20 cannot control the 10 brothers of Hulu, including two A72 cores.
In terms of charging, the charging adapter specification of MX6 is 24W, and the output power is 5V or 8V@3A or 12V@2A 。 Compared with 10W, 15W and 18W from friends, it takes 85 minutes to measure the power from 0 to 100, which is very fast for a 3000mAh mobile phone. From the table, it can also be seen that the charging rate of the MX6 is very uniform, and it can charge about 25% of the power every 15 minutes. If you are a heavy user of mobile phones, I believe you will love the charging performance of the MX6.
7: Summary
Through one week's experience, the experience of MX6 to Xiaobian can be summed up as: more than enough, less than enough. Meizu's determination to do a good job in a mobile phone can be seen from its excellent mobile phone workmanship, stable and easy-to-use system performance and so on. However, the serious homogenization in the appearance of different product lines, poor performance of main parts, weak camera tuning and other long-standing problems also reflect Meizu's helplessness today, lack of voice in core suppliers In order to pursue the homogeneity of appearance caused by the shipment volume and the poor performance of the camera proof, Meizu continues to solve the problem. The output and shipment volume have indeed increased, but the yearning "stubbornness" in the past has been constantly worn away. I don't know whether Meizu, which can bring out products that dazzle users from time to time at that time, will appear in the near future. I can only say that when Flyme has not followed the market and become boring, let's use it and cherish it.
