We can't remember which mobile phones Meizu has released this year. Meilan Metal, Meilan Note 3 and other 1000 yuan mobile phones that once had high cost performance have been officially removed from Meizu's official website. We can't describe the positioning of Meilan 5 in simple words, because we think it is difficult to explain Meizu's mobile phones released this year with logic. This photo was written on November 28, 2016. Meizu will hold a press conference on Meilan's new products on November 30 and December 6, 2016.

Charm Blue 5 returns to polycarbonate material, instead of using metal body. Polycarbonate materials in sapphire blue and champagne gold are frosted.

Compared with this classic return, the author prefers the upright metal texture of Magenta 3s, and the color matching of champagne gold and sapphire blue is dark, which is not like the color of a good young product.

The layout of Meilan 5's keys is no different from the previous Meilan series. The workmanship of the keys is as solid as ever, and the key feedback is light and powerful.

Meilan 5 uses a 720P 5.2 inch IPS screen and 2.5D curved glass, The SoC is MT6750 of MediaTek, equipped with 2/3GB LPDDR3 running memory, 16/32GB built-in storage, 13 million pixels of rear camera (F2.2, phase focusing)+5 million pixels of front camera (F2.0), with front fingerprint identification mTouch 2.1, supporting dual card dual standby+full network access, battery capacity of 3070mAh, body size of 147.2 * 72.8 * 8mm, and body weight of 138g.

Although the integrated metal body has gradually become the standard configuration in the industry, even if you are a thousand yuan machine, if you do not play the title of "metal", you will not be able to sell it. However, polycarbonate can also make exquisite processes, which are easy to form, easy to color, high yield and low cost, There have been many classic works of polycarbonate in the Lumia era. blindly following the metal market is the product of compromise and inferiority. Although the author does not think that Meilan 5 has excellent workmanship and design, it is a bold attempt to return to polycarbonate.
