Exactly the same, silly and indistinct! Meilan Note5 experience report
2018-01-03 10:02

Meizu madly released 14 new products in 2016, while the front of the last Meilan Note5 still uses the family face. It can be said that the front of all Meizu series mobile phones is basically the same. After the initial evaluation of good looks, beauty and high face value, perhaps now everyone is tired of aesthetics, and some people will ask why not say that the iPhone is not the same every year? The iPhone is also aesthetic fatigue. In addition to the real fruit powder, more people still buy it for work, face, and costume!

Meizu was known as MTK for ten thousand years in 2016, which is a bit prickly indeed. Although MTK has developed well in mobile phone processors, the use of MTK in flagship phones cannot reach the flagship level of other serial processors, so there will be a rhythm of buying PRO5 rather than PRO6/6S, On the contrary, the high energy and low power consumption of MTK has also won the favor of manufacturers and users. Therefore, Internet users have a clear eye. It is not satisfactory to put MTK on the price of flagship mobile phones.


Good quality in youth, still good quality

Today, I bring you the last Meilan Note5 released by Meizu in 2016. Its appearance and packaging are basically the same as other models. The word "Meilan Note5" is monotonous and pragmatic on the front. The words "Meilan" are light blue and the logo of "Meilan Youth Product" on the side, which can really adjust everyone's concept of "Meilan Youth Product", Meilan has brought you a smart and practical mobile phone with a price of 1000 yuan since its release.

Due to the strategic adjustment of each mobile phone manufacturer, there will no longer be a price war online. Meizu has had an experience store since the first mobile phone, and the offline advantage is occupied. Therefore, Meizu released 14 mobile phones in 2016, which is enough to meet the product line of an experience store. Meilan also released a number of mobile phones worth more than 1000 yuan, meeting the gap price zone between Meizu and Meizu, However, Meilan Note5 has a certain purchasing power within 999 yuan.

Take out the front mask of Meilan Note5, which is written in light blue font of Meilan Youth Good Product, and below is the operating instructions of HOME key. On Android phones, integrate multiple shortcut keys with HOME key. Meizu is the inventor and leader of Android in using this design. I am very pleased because Meizu is Chinese, and this innovative design bonus covers the world, Domestic mobile phones basically use different HOME keys to unlock fingerprints. Meilan Note5 uses a 5.5 inch screen with 1920x1080 pixels. Meizu mobile phones have always been satisfying with their narrow borders. The all metal integrated body and the design of the back are also the inherent features of Meilan. As a digital enthusiast, I cannot fully recognize what this model is without touching it!

I think that Meilan Note5 and Meilan E are the most similar, and also get a different feature from the two phones: thickness, Meilan Note5 is 8.1 thickness, although both sides have also done fine processing and bright edge chamfering, but the machine frame has not done a smooth arc, so Meilan Note5 is more square, the important thing of 175g is that the phone is thicker, except that the noise reduction microphone is left on the top, The 3.5MM standard headphone hole is also placed at the bottom, and the speaker position has changed from the familiar round hole to the three rectangular waist circles, with the Micro USB interface in the middle.

Meilan Note5 uses a charger up to 12V/2A, Micro USB data cable, and fast charging has become popular in 2016. The standard configuration is often seen on mobile phones in 1000 yuan phones. At present, there is no standard for the definition of fast charging, and fast charging will not be considered until the power is reached. So I suggest that you do not read the word "fast charging", It's just to find out how long the phone is charged.

In 2016, in addition to the biggest change in mobile phone accessories, there is actually another change that will benefit users more. The reform of China's telecommunications industry has made mobile phones no longer customized for various networks, and truly realized the full network connectivity of a mobile phone. Meilan Note5 supports dual card dual standby full network 4G+networks, and can support the expansion demand of single card+memory card. This kind of mobile phone card slot is perfect, no problems, very favorite way.


Flyme 5 system, based on Android 6.0

In fact, Meilan mobile phones have always used the bottom layer of Alibaba Cloud OS. This time, Meilan Note5 uses Flyme 5 based on Android 6.0, which may surprise Meiyou. Indeed, Android 6.0 is the most stable and smooth system at present. I don't know why I chose Android 6.0 this time, but it is absolutely beneficial and harmless, Meilan Note5 uses MediaTek Helio P10 processor, which has been used to the utmost on the 1000 yuan computer. The combination of 3GB+32GB memory can basically ensure that it will not be greatly affected within two years.

However, the familiar flat Flyme 5 is still popular today. Flyme 5 is still the innovation and unique charm of the domestic OS. In terms of system functions, it can be said that it can fully meet the needs of various users. If it is necessary to select a beautiful and easy-to-use system in the domestic OS system evaluation, Flyme 5 will not give up.

The operation of the mTouch of Meilan Note5 will also make the HOME key always use Meizu family style round waist key. This round waist entity key combines three functions of fingerprint identification, light click back, and pressing back to the desktop. The front fingerprint identification of the world is the same. I don't know that this is a problem, such as Motorola's square, Apple's round, Meizu's round waist key, I believe that most of you will use Meizu's round waist key, which is beautiful and easy to use. Therefore, manufacturers basically choose the round waist key that is beautiful and easy to operate. Meilan Note5's fingerprint unlocking speed will not be slow in perception, but the second fingerprint record often fails to identify, and the left fingerprint has not failed to unlock for many times.

The main interface of Flyme 5 has a search function, and it will constantly update the latest information when there is a network. After entering, you can also see the current big news, hot topics and recently used applications. I always agree with this method. It is very convenient to directly enter this integrated multi-functional interface on the main interface, and clicking on the news will not pop up to the browser for viewing, This is the best of the multi-function interfaces I have used. It is more convenient and quick to view other news content.

If the thousand yuan machine is the main force for the student party and workers to buy, then the aging users are also a part of the choice. The super large font simple mode is a better design in Flyme 5, which I think is the simple mode. The 5.5 inch screen font and simple mode of the Magic Blue Note 5 have become larger. In this way, the icon and font can be extended to the phone, SMS, settings, etc, The six main functions of the main interface, namely, fixed phone, information, camera, picture library, calendar, and clock, are the most needed functions for elderly users. You can also manually set the order of applications, and it is also very convenient to switch with one key.

The mobile phone butler should have become the standard configuration in the domestic system. The openness of Android makes different applications and caches have different degrees of independent changes, which makes the functions of garbage cleaning, traffic management, permission management, and power saving mode have to be set reasonably. Virus detection can detect whether the software installed on the mobile phone at that time is risky, And timely remind the potential dangers of the suspected applications. If not geek players, we recommend that everyone use the app store that comes with the system to download. Self startup is a commonly used setting at present. Flyme 5 will filter the self startup of most applications at the first time. However, common tools such as input method, Alipay and WeChat still need users to choose their own settings.

It can be said that the levitation ball has basically become history. From iPhone to Meizu levitation ball, the usage rate was very high in the past. Since the introduction of mTouch shortcut, users are less and less unable to open this function; Gesture wake-up still needs to be customized. With the fingerprint unlocking station, this function is not as dependent as before; The Red Packet Assistant is also a function that responds to the needs of users. Whether you are using the phone or locking the screen, you will be reminded that "Red Packet is coming". Most of Android's innovative functions are independently developed and popularized in China. Google has also seen this update in the past few times, and many of them are original designs in China. This shows the advancement of domestic technology.

On the Flyme 5 calendar, you can see today's recommendations, which will remind you of important events and Spring Festival travel tickets. After the drop-down, there will also be constellation fortune and the final calendar. Although they are still young, they are still needed. You don't need to go to the browser to search for these materials when using the Flyme 5 calendar.


Super large battery, enough for daily use

Meilan Note5 has a large 4000mAh battery. At present, the 4000mAh battery on 5.5 inch mobile phones is neither the largest nor the smallest. With fast charging, there is no need for a large battery. It is also outdated. Now users need a large battery+fast charging. Meilan Note5 can say that both of them occupy the edge. The configuration of 1000 yuan mobile phones is also excellent.


Test environment: 30 minutes, 50% brightness, 50% volume

NBA2K17 consumes 7% power


10% power consumption for off-road driving

Power consumption of King Glory 10%

Panda TV consumes 10% power

Youku consumes 7% of electricity

Off screen music 1%


Meilan Note5 can still choose three power modes in the Flyme 5 system: energy-saving, balanced and high-performance. I personally suggest that the processor used by Meilan Note5 should still be in high-performance mode when playing games. In the 30 minute test, however, multiple cores of the CPU are still offline when playing games in high-performance mode, I don't understand why this operation logic works. When playing the largest NBA 2K17, it only opens four or six cores, and the whole testing process basically has a sense of slow half time. Personally, I don't recommend Meilan Note5 to play this super large game, and it has no great influence when playing off-road driving, King Glory, Naruto. It is still a smooth experience, The power consumption is also controlled within 10%.

The power consumption of Panda TV, Youku, playing music off the screen, and sharing hot spots is normal. It can be used for a whole day in daily use. In the overall test, Meilan Note5 did not reduce the proportion of power consumption because of the 4000mAh battery. I still have some hope, but I did not find serious problems such as power theft in the background.

Meilan Note5 is equipped with a large 4000mAh battery. Meizu does not implicitly directly configure a 12V2A charging head as a standard, which is officially advertised to be 18W. Personally, I don't think the current fast charge rate can be counted as fast charge rate if it doesn't exceed 20W in the actual test of fast charge development. However, I haven't seen 18W in the actual test of Meilan Note5, which is more about 14W. 4000mAh large batteries can be charged at about 75% in 60 minutes, while 0-100% only need 60 minutes to charge 75% and 100% of the power needs 95 minutes, Personally, I suggest that the flagship mobile phone should watch the 30 minute fast charging capacity, while the 1000 yuan mobile phone should be adjusted down to watch the 1-hour fast charging level. The charging duration of Meilan Note5 is acceptable, and you should remind yourself that this is only a 1000 yuan mobile phone again.


The camera function remains unchanged, and the image quality has been improved

Meilan Note5 is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera in front and an aperture of F2.0. It supports beauty selfie, face recognition and intelligent adjustment of face AE brightness. The rear is a 13 million pixel camera, with 5P lens set design, F2.2 aperture, dual color temperature flash, and phase focusing function. Officially, the fastest focusing speed can reach 0.2s. The actual reflection is basically the same, but the protective lenses of Meilan in the low configuration camera are not all flower marks in the first half of the year. This time, the lenses of Meilan Note5 should be glass when I touch them, and a round dual color temperature flash light is placed below.

The main interface of the camera of Magic Blue Note5 should be the same as the previous versions, but HDR is still not adjusted to automatic HDR, and grid lines, level, manual light metering, time watermark and voice control can be turned on in settings. Personally, I still support these functions, and beauty, panorama, slow lens, code scanning, macro Dynamic graph and other modes are not often used in daily life, but they are also used in infrequent times.


Take samples to share

I am quite satisfied with the effect of remote photography in different periods of time outdoors. It can also be said that Meizu has improved its photography level in 2016. The effect of manually turning on HDR is also very good. It can be easily handled in an environment with sufficient light. In the evening and at night, it can better reflect the noise than Meizu before, The details and the image quality under manual focusing are within the user's control range. In the most cluttered intersection with countless lights, the vehicle tracks can be photographed when passing, and the license plate number can also be seen by enlarging the motorcycle in front, and the billboard of LEB light can also be seen in the distant buildings. Although this effect is normal, it is enough for users to use daily with the current 1000 yuan machine.

Close up photography is also the largest use scene in mobile phone photography. The white balance is excellent. No matter the color of flowers in outdoor and outdoor shade, there is no overexposure. It has a good restoration effect. Decorations can refract light in the light. In the macro mode, the details of the nearest distance are photographed, and the depth of field effect in the distance is more obvious. It is recommended to use the macro mode when there is a distant space scene.

When taking a picture in a dark room, the Magic Blue Note5 still has a good effect on the front side with light, but noise is still visible in the dark position. The whole position on the left is basically supported by noise, and the effect is ordinary. "Let your mobile phone sterilize before eating" also makes it so important to take photos of food with your mobile phone. When you look at the chicken wings and waffles in the photos, it proves that Meilan Note5 has the ability to take photos of food, but it is still a little far away from the flagship mobile phone, but it is completely acceptable.


999 yuan Charming Blue Note5, a good choice

The appearance of aesthetic fatigue may be a helpless move of the status quo. Meizu's face is no longer unique to Meizu. Now, the round waist HOME key is used on the front of mobile phones everywhere. If you want to sell, you also want to break through. Maybe this is what Meizu wants to do now. Meilan's positioning is becoming more and more obvious, and it is shouldering the responsibility of Meizu's 2000 yuan machine. Meilan is no longer the former Meilan. In 2016, Meizu is more like a deciduous tree in autumn. Will the branches of the tree grow again in the spring or wither and die? However, on December 30, 2016, Qualcomm announced that it had reached a settlement with Meizu and signed a 3G/4G global patent license agreement with Meizu. This means that Meizu mobile phones will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors in 2017, and the argument that Qualcomm chips have not been used for a long time has officially ended. Perhaps netizens are happier than Meizu, because users all think that Meizu is like a lost lamb in choosing processors, unable to meet the needs of pleasing users. At this time, I felt that winter was coming to an end, and the young leaves in spring would grow faster and longer.

Finally, I recommend that you not buy the 16GB version of Meilan Note5, because you need to clean up the memory space every week. I don't recommend buying the 1499 yuan 4GB+64GB version that has never been heard. The most worthy Meilan Note5 is the 3GB+32GB version that only costs 999 yuan. It is also the main model of Meizu at present. Meizu now basically has different models at 200-300 yuan, so friends who like Meizu can buy Meizu mobile phones no matter how much you pay, and the appearance is basically the same no matter how much you pay. At present, only Meizu can enjoy this kind of enjoyment.
