After entering 2016, Meizu's speed of releasing new phones was a bit out of step. Since April, after only a few months, it has successively released a number of new models with different positioning, of which the Meilan product line has completed a comprehensive update, and Meizu's first large screen phone, Meilan Max, was also released on September 5, 2016, The first fashionable business mobile phone targeting young people has adopted a new design language in terms of appearance design. For users who like Meizu mobile phones, they finally have another choice. Fortunately, they got the experience opportunity of this Meilan Max in the mobile trial, and it is also the Star Grey version that has not yet been officially launched. Here, first of all Love to play computer games Thank you for your trust. Now I will take you to experience the overall performance of Meizu's first large screen mobile phone!

Unpacking:

‍ ‍

As the first big screen flagship of Meizu, Meilan Max also adopts a new design. The overall design is still simple, with the "Meilan Max" logo in the middle of the front, two blue "youth good" stickers at the bottom of both sides, and the box is opened in a pull-out manner.

There is a label on the bottom of the back of the packaging box, on which is some basic information about the mobile phone. There is a word "SAMPLE" in the upper right corner, indicating that it evaluates the identity of the engineering machine. Therefore, the following evaluations are based on the engineering machine, which may be different from the mass production version, but I think it should be similar.

The double-layer design of the packaging box is adopted. After the outermost package is taken out, the inside is a blue packaging box. After opening, the top is the main unit of Meilan Max, and the surface of the mobile phone is still familiar with the "youth good product" film. Personally, I think it is better to paste a high-definition film directly after leaving the factory. Below the mobile phone are the instructions and card picking pins, The bottom layer of the packing box is the neatly placed charging plug and USB charging cable.

‍

In terms of accessories, there are still only charging plugs and charging cables, which are consistent with the past Meilan models. However, the maximum output of the charging plug equipped with Meilan Max is 12V2A, and its peak power can reach 24W. It supports fast charging technology. Officially, it can be fully charged in half an hour, which can quickly recharge the phone. The actual charging effect, There will be a special practical effect test later.

appearance:

‍ ‍

Because I just experienced Meizu's new Meilan E phone a while ago, when I saw this Meilan Max, my first impression was that it was an enlarged version of Meilan E. The front of the phone uses a 1080p full HD large screen with 6-inch IPS technology. The screen is transparent and endurable, and the surface is covered with 2.5D curved glass, which can make people feel more crystal clear in vision and comfortable in touch at the edge of the screen.

‍

Since Meilan Max is equipped with a 6-inch giant screen, there is still some pressure for single hand operation. The size of the phone is 163.4mm * 81.6mm * 7.9mm, and the weight is 189g. It is also a little heavy in the hand. The phone uses Meizu's new design ID, and its corners are less round than before, but have a sense of firmness. The dual CNC high gloss trimming design makes the whole machine look more exquisite, and the trimming also uses the same paint treatment as the body, but the frame still has a certain touch when held.

The front design of the mobile phone has not changed much than before. It still adopts Meizu's family like front face. From left to right, the top of the screen is: sensors, earphones and 5 front cameras. Since the Star Grey Edition uses a black front panel, the sensors are hidden under the black panel. There is a hidden LED indicator on the left side of the sensor, It lights up only when there is a notice or message.

At the bottom of the screen is Meizu's classic round waist mTouch button. Tap it to return to the next level, press it to return to the desktop, and you will feel it is easy to use only after you really get started. The button also integrates fingerprint identification function, which is fairly fast and accurate. In addition, it perfectly supports the fingerprint payment function of Alipay and WeChat. The overall function is relatively rich.

‍

Meilan Max cancels the 3.5mm headphone hole on the top of the previous Meilan mobile phone, and only retains the noise reduction microphone hole. The top looks more simple; All the interfaces of the phone are concentrated at the bottom, from left to right: headphone hole, main microphone, Micro USB interface and speaker. Of course, as Meizu's first flagship phone with large screen, it is not sincere enough not to use the current popular Type-C interface.

‍

Meilan Max adopts a metal integrated fuselage design, which is different from the previous three-stage fuselage design. It uses a linear nano injection antenna strip to make the metal proportion of the whole machine higher. Moreover, the injection signal band does not use the traditional white design, but uses a color matching process similar to the back cover, which makes the whole machine look more integrated, The back cover surface adopts professional 360 degree metal sandblasting process, which makes the hand feel fine and smooth, and is not easy to stain fingerprints.

‍

Meilan Max is equipped with a 13 million pixel rear camera, and the camera specification is consistent with that of Meilan E. It is equipped with F2.2 large aperture, supports PDAF phase focusing, and the focusing speed can be up to 0.2s. The camera is not only flattened, but also slightly lower than the back cover. There is a circle of metal edges around the camera, which can protect the lens to a certain extent; Below the camera is a dual color temperature LED flash, which can be used to fill the light when shooting in dark light or at night.

‍

‍

Above the left border of the mobile phone is the SIM card slot of the mobile phone. The card slot adopts the design of two out of three. It also supports the expansion of the maximum 128GB memory card. The new All Netcom standard is adopted. The six mode eighteen band supports the communication network in most countries. There is no need to change the card when going abroad. It supports the blind insertion of two cards. On the right side frame are the volume key and power key. The volume key is designed as a whole. The keys are made of metal material. The feedback strength is moderate and the workmanship is quite meticulous.

System:

‍

Meilan Max is equipped with the latest Flyme 5.2.5 system, which is deeply optimized based on Android 6.0, and continues the simple, light and smooth design of Meizu's previous Flyme system. Although it is Meizu's first large screen phone, it has not found much optimization for large screen in the system, which is consistent with the Flyme 5 system in other Meilan models, We look forward to some surprises in the future.

The design of the system's main interface and lock screen interface is very simple. The system icon and most third-party application icons have been re optimized. After starting up, we can see only 8 pre installed applications, and most of them are often used by us. If you don't like them, you can uninstall them at will. In addition to displaying the time and date, There is only a camera shortcut icon in the lower right corner of the interface.

The notification interface of the system allows you to view system or application notifications, and also integrates some common shortcut switches; Slide up from the screen area on the left and right sides of the phone to enter the recent task interface, which is displayed in card style. Here, you can clean applications individually or with one key. Long press the application card to lock related applications without being cleaned with one key. In the new version of Flyme 5.2.5 system, the split screen function is also added. The system notification interface enables us to view multiple documents on the same interface. This function is more practical.

The way to open the split screen function is also very simple. When you enter the recent task interface, you can see more "split screen" functions on the left side of some application icons. After clicking, you can enter the "split screen" interface, where you can chat with QQ and WeChat, and chat while watching videos. However, the video split screen only supports the video applications provided by the system, The third party video application does not support split screen for the time being, and the function is still limited. It is expected to be further optimized in the future. The split screen function not only supports vertical screen display, but also supports horizontal screen display.

The system has a built-in app store, theme beautification and game center. We can search apps and games directly through the app store and game center, avoiding the trouble of looking everywhere. Through "theme beautification", we can change themes, wallpapers, ringing tones and fonts, which is also rich in resources.

In the latest Flyme5 system, Meizu has enriched its content resources by adding life services and information functions, which allows us to enjoy many convenient preferential services and facilitate our online information browsing. In addition, the system also has a built-in music player and video player, which not only supports local playback, but also supports online playback functions. The in-depth cooperation between music resources and Xiami music can ensure rich music resources, and the number of online resources and update speed of video content are also good, even without the help of third-party playback software, It can also meet our daily viewing needs.

The system has a built-in dedicated "mobile phone butler" function, which can perform one button optimization, garbage cleaning, mobile phone acceleration, traffic management, harassment interception, permission management, power saving mode, mobile phone slimming and virus detection and killing, and can provide more comprehensive protection for mobile phones without the use of third-party security optimization software, It can also effectively protect and clean the phone.

The setting interface is divided into five categories, namely wireless and network, prompt and notification, system, account and device, according to the setting content. It is convenient for us to quickly search according to the needs. There are many "auxiliary functions", such as red envelope assistant, levitation ball, etc. The mobile phone also supports the global eye protection function, which can play a certain role in protecting the eyes, By setting the "super simple mode" of the interface, it can also be changed into a large font and large icon mode with one key, which is more convenient for the elderly to use.

Measured:

Meilan Max uses a 6-inch 1080p resolution screen with a 160 degree viewing angle. The screen color is transparent and beautiful. The phone screen looks slightly cold, but we can manually adjust it by setting the color temperature of the interface. With the change of angle of view and the angle of view of the mobile phone screen, the picture on the screen will be slightly white, but still can be clearly seen.

Meilan Max supports fingerprint function. In addition to basic fingerprint unlocking, it also supports document locking area and application encryption function. In addition, it also perfectly supports Alipay and WeChat fingerprint payment function. After actual use experience, the speed and accuracy of fingerprint unlocking are good, and the speed of fingerprint payment is basically the same as that of unlocking, However, Meizu's fingerprint unlocking requires pressing to complete the unlocking, which is a bit cumbersome compared with many current models that can unlock fingerprints only by touching.

Although the era of competing for points has passed, the level of running points does not represent the actual experience of mobile phones, but due to personal habits, a new machine will be the first to score. Here we test the overall performance of the Meilan Max mobile phone through two commonly used scoring software, An Tu Tu Tu and Lu Master. An Tu Tu scored 46617 points and Lu Master scored 34798 points, The experience evaluation score is 111.30 points. If only from the performance score, it is at the lower level. However, Master Lu's experience score is very good. The higher the experience score, the smoother the system runs. Meizu mobile phones are doing well in system fluency. The system runs smoothly in the actual use of these days.

Meilan Max is equipped with MediaTek Helio P10 processor, which is composed of four 1.8GHz A53 and four 1.0GHz A53. It uses a storage combination of 3GB 64GB. It uses the same processor as Meilan E. Here, Geekbench 3 is used to test the CPU performance. The single core score is 781, the multi-core score is 3078, the test result using 3DMark 3.0 is 484, and the latest 3DMark 3.1 score is 328, In terms of scores, the overall game performance of the mobile phone is relatively ordinary, but the scores are only some data after all, which does not represent the actual use experience. In the end, the game will be used for testing.

Since Meilan Max adopts a metal integrated body design, the metal has a certain blocking effect on the signal transmission, so the back of the mobile phone is designed with an injection molding signal belt. The following test is conducted for the signal of the mobile phone. After testing, the strength of indoor WLAN signal is no different from that of other mobile phones; The strength of the indoor mobile signal is about - 100dBm, and that of the outdoor mobile signal is about - 78dBm. The overall reception capacity of the signal is very good, and the actual use of these days is also very clear.

The above is just some data, which seems boring. How about the actual experience? Let's test it through several games. Here, we first choose a small leisure game "Happy Xiaole", which we usually play. This game runs smoothly and there is no jam in the game process. Of course, this game can be easily handled even by an entry-level machine, so it doesn't mean anything. Next, we tested a popular online game, "King Glory". After the actual game experience, the whole game ran smoothly. After 20 minutes of continuous operation, there was no "Stuck" phenomenon. So for some mobile phone games and most mobile online games, this Magic Max can easily deal with.

For some users who like to play large-scale 3D mobile games, there must be some expectations for the ability of this game to run large-scale mobile games. Here I choose "NBA2K16", a large-scale mobile game with high requirements for mobile phone performance, to continue to experience. After the actual game experience, the game can run normally, but the overall smoothness of the game is not good. It is obvious that there is still some pressure on the operation of the game. After a period of operation, the area around the rear camera of the fuselage will feel obvious heat. Here, the power consumption of the game is also tested. The brightness of the mobile phone is adjusted to the highest. After 30 minutes of continuous operation, the power consumption of the mobile phone is reduced from 33% to 19%, and the power consumption is 14%. If the brightness of the mobile phone is reduced and some small games are run, the power consumption can be controlled at about 10%, and the overall power consumption is relatively satisfactory. If you prefer to play this kind of large-scale 3D games, it is recommended to choose other models equipped with higher end processors.

For mobile phones with large screens, the effect of watching videos is very powerful. However, the power consumption of mobile phones will certainly increase when the screen is large. Here we test the power consumption of mobile phone video playback. Here, the default player of the system is selected for online play. The sound is adjusted to 50%, and the brightness is adjusted to 60%. After one hour and 15 minutes of continuous play, the power consumption of the mobile phone is reduced from 88% to 75%, and the power consumption is 13%. This power consumption is very good. Through the actual use experience, even for heavy users, this Meilan Max can make it easier for you to stick to work from morning to afternoon without charging. Let's not say anything else, at least in terms of power saving optimization of mobile phones, I am relatively satisfied.

Meilan Max is equipped with a charging plug with a maximum output of 12V2A, and the peak power can reach 24W. It supports the fast charging technology. The official data is that 45% can be filled in 30 minutes. Here, the original charging plug and charging cable are used for charging test. The mobile phone is powered off automatically and starts charging from 1% after power on. After 30 minutes, the charging capacity is 40%, slightly different from the official data. The charging capacity in one hour is 73%. After one hour and 48 minutes, the charging is completed, which is relatively fast for the Meilan Max with 4100mAhd, During the charging process, the heating condition of the phone and the charging plug is also well controlled. When the phone power reaches 90%, the charging speed will slow down significantly to ensure charging safety.

Meilan Max mobile phone adopts a combination of 5 megapixel front camera and 13 megapixel rear camera. The rear camera is equipped with F2.2 aperture, supports PDAF phase focusing, and the focusing speed is as fast as 0.2 seconds. It is equipped with dual color temperature flash light, which can easily cope with dark light conditions or at night. The camera interface design is simple. Below the viewfinder box are shooting mode, shooting key and image library options, and from left to right above are flash, countdown, filter, switch key and setting options. At present, the camera has 10 modes to choose from: automatic, manual, video, beauty, panorama, light field, slow lens, scanning code, macro and dynamic image. Some auxiliary photo settings can be made in the "Settings" option interface, but the camera does not support the automatic HDR function, and can only be turned on or off manually in the setting options. What's the actual shooting effect of the mobile phone? Let's take a look at the samples.

The shooting modes of Meizu Max camera are relatively rich, but according to most people's shooting habits, direct mobile phone automatic mode is the most common mode. So let's take a look at the samples under the automatic mode of the camera first. All the above are straight out of the camera, and only the size is modified without any other beautification. From the sample, if the picture definition is good in the automatic mode in sunny days with sufficient light, and the sample saturation is higher, this setting will be more pleasing to people's eyes, but occasionally there will be overexposure.

Then we made a test for the camera's macro shooting. Through the sample, we can see that the camera handles the details of the object and the background virtualization effect very well. There is a special "macro" mode in the shooting mode, which can help us better complete macro shooting after switching. After switching to the "macro" mode, compared with the automatic mode, You can shoot closer to the object, and the details will be richer.

The camera supports HDR mode, but it needs to be manually turned on in camera "Settings". It does not support real-time automatic HDR mode temporarily. In some dark or backlight environments, turning on HDR mode can see more details of objects. From the proof, we can see that the picture is dark before HDR mode is not turned on, and the overall brightness of the picture increases significantly after turning on, so we can see more details of objects. In addition, the camera also supports filter, panorama, GIF animation and other modes, which are relatively rich in functions and can meet most of our daily use needs.

Night scene shooting has always been the weakness of mobile camera. Meizu Max has not made special optimization in night scene shooting. The speed of automatic focusing at night is relatively slow, and sometimes focusing fails. The overall performance of the camera is relatively ordinary. From the photo samples, if the automatic mode is directly used for night scene shooting, the brightness of the photo will be higher, and more object details can be seen, but the noise is more obvious. Therefore, it is recommended to use more manual focusing or light metering separation functions when shooting night scenes, and the effect will be better than the automatic mode. Of course, if the professional mode is used, You can also get good samples, but these are not what ordinary users need. It is suggested that the official can optimize the night scene shooting more. It is also good to add a night scene mode, which can be convenient for most users.

Summary:

As the first big screen flagship of Meizu, Meilan Max basically continues the design of Meilan E in terms of appearance design and process. It adopts an all metal integrated body design, with injection molding signal belt on the back. There are two CNC high gloss trim edges on the upper and lower sides of the body, making the whole machine look more sophisticated. Especially this Star Grey version, compared with other white front panels, has a more business sense. In terms of hardware configuration, Meilan Max did not bring us any surprises. It still uses MediaTek Helio P10 processor, 3GB+64GB storage combination, which can only be said to be in order. However, the optimization in terms of battery life is certainly positive. The battery has been upgraded to 4100mAh, and most users should be able to use it easily for a whole day. If you prefer large screen mobile phones and Meizu's Flyme system, and the hardware requirements are not high, you can try this Meizu's first large screen mobile phone. If you prefer to play large 3D mobile games, you should choose other models with higher end processors.

Shortcomings&Suggestions:

There is no big change in the appearance of the mobile phone. It basically adopts the appearance design of Magic Blue E, without its own characteristics;

As the first big screen flagship of the blue series, it does not use the currently popular Type-C interface, which is still a little lacking in sincerity;

The Flyme system on the mobile phone is not very different from previous versions. It is not optimized for large screens. I wonder if there will be an optimized version for large screens in the future;

With MediaTek Helio P10 processor, there is still obvious pressure for some large-scale mobile games, and the fever is also obvious;

The night scene shooting of the camera still needs to be optimized. The noise of the night scene sample in the automatic mode is obvious, and the overall effect is poor. Although the professional mode design can get a better night scene sample, it is not suitable for most users. It is recommended to add a night scene mode directly.
