preface

Meilan note should be the most popular product in the Meilan series. From the first generation of Meilan note to the Meilan note 5 released today, it has an excellent appearance design and a high cost performance label. In December 2016, Meizu released Meilan note 5, which is more "fast, beautiful, thin and durable", bringing Meilan note phones with metal bodies and 4000mAh batteries. With its excellent appearance design, thin and light metal body, All Netcom and good endurance, Meilan note5, which costs 899 yuan, quickly occupied the 5.5 inch mobile phone market below 1000 yuan.

Unpacking

The outer package of Meilan Note5 is very simple. Like Meilan 5, it is a long paper box with the words "Meilan Note5" printed on the front, which is quite elegant.

The packaging design of Meilan Note5 continues the fresh and simple style of Meilan series. The overall white color matching and simple characters make it simple, fashionable and low-key.  

The words "Meilan Youth Good Product" are printed on both sides of the box.

The packaging box of Meilan Note5 details the supported network system, color, storage space, network access license number, etc. In addition, the word "SAMPLE" is printed on the upper right corner of the label, indicating that the mass tested product is an engineering prototype.

You can see the appearance of Meilan Note5 when you lift the cover. This time, we will bring you the experience of Meilan Note5 Moonlight Silver 3GB+32GB version. In terms of hardware specifications, Meilan note5 still uses the Helio P10 processor, which has eight A53 cores with a core frequency of 1.8GHz, and can achieve a good balance between power consumption and performance. Meilan note5 directly uses 3G/4GB of memory this time. Previously, only the high configuration version of Meilan note3 was equipped with 3GB of memory. Now, Meilan note5 directly uses 3GB of memory in the standard configuration version, and the high configuration version uses 4GB of memory. The larger memory allows the mobile phone to run more smoothly, and more applications can run in the background.

The standard hardware of Meilan Note5 is as above, including: Meilan Note5 mobile phone, power adapter (charger), micro USB cable, card pick-up pin, warranty certificate, and Flyme system introduction.

The power adapter is 5V or 8V 3A or 12V 2A, and supports safe and fast charging.

The data cable is a micro USB interface plug, and the wire material is very thick and solid.

From left to right (picture), the top of Meilan Note5 is: 5 million front camera, earpiece, distance sensor and noise reduction microphone.

This mobile phone uses a white front panel, which is beautiful with the silver white metal back cover. The front panel is also made of 2.5D curved glass, which feels very round and not stiff at all at the transition point of the fuselage.

From left to right, the bottom of the Magic Blue Note 5 is 3.5 audio output interface, MIC microphone, micro USB interface, and external speaker sound hole. In terms of interface, the relatively conservative micro USB interface is still used. If the USB Type-C interface is used, it will be more perfect.

On the left are two out of three Nano sim phone card slots and TF expansion card slots. Meilan Note 5 can put two mobile phone cards at the same time, or put a mobile phone card and a memory card, and these two combinations are optional. Considering that in the current 4K era, the space occupied by any movie is up to several gigabytes, and the space of Meilan Note 5 mobile phone can also be expanded to more through the TF card.

The on/off key and volume up/down key on the right side of the Magic Blue Note 5 seem to be closely attached to the body. When pressed, the force feedback is moderate, and the appropriate key position makes the single hand screen capture operation much more convenient. The familiar metal integrated fuselage and CNC trimming process are comparable to the flagship machine of 3000 yuan or 4000 yuan. The 2.5D arc screen is the most pleasing configuration that everyone will use now. Previously, only the flagship machine would have it, but now it has been relegated to the ranks of more than 1000 yuan.

MTouch fingerprint payment. The mTouch fingerprint system can realize quick fingerprint payment of Alipay and WeChat.

Meilan Note5 rear camera uses a 13 million pixel CMOS, which can support 0.2s high-speed phase focusing at the fastest time, PDAF phase focusing, f/2.2 aperture and dual color temperature fill light. Below is the Meizu logo "MEIZU".

The three section design on the back has become Meizu's "thinking pattern".

The on key and volume key are centrally set on the right side of the fuselage, with moderate key range and good key feedback performance; The screenshot operation needs to press and hold the On key+Volume - at the same time, and the long screenshot is a long press.

Meilan note5 can realize the universal use of three networks (support: mobile 4G TD-LTE, 3G TD-SCDMA, 2G GSM, Unicom 4G FDD-LTE, 3G WCDMA, 2G GSM, telecom 4G FDD-LTE, 3G EVDO, 2G CDMA.). At the same time, it brings a strong signal coverage of 6-mode 18 frequency under the premise of hardware upgrade, and can achieve rapid transmission and reception of signals even in weak signal environments.

In terms of appearance, Meilan note5 still follows the standard Meizu style front face design style, with rounded corners+round waist home key; The front is equipped with a 5.5 inch full HD screen, which is covered by 2.5D curved glass. It is commendable that Meilan note5 has a new intelligent eye protection function, which is absolutely a blessing for mobile phone party heads.

Experience

system

At present, Meilan Note5 is equipped with Flyme5.2 system based on Android 6.0, and users familiar with Android can quickly get on board.

Flyme5.2 uses Android's traditional pull-down taskbar and shortcut. Pull up to pop up the search bar, while two fingers and one pinch or long press the desktop wallpaper can enter the interface of sorting icons, changing wallpaper and adding desktop tools.

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, fingerprint recognition is no longer only the patent of Hollywood blockbusters. Now even the 1000 yuan machine can enjoy the fun of this technology. Meilan Note5 is equipped with an ultra fast fingerprint identification module to protect our privacy and security.

Meilan Note5 is also not a product focusing on hardware performance. It uses the MediaTek Helio P10 processor, eight core A53 architecture, and the combination of 3GB RAM+64GB ROM (the highest) in memory, which can meet the needs of daily use. Needless to say, if it is not a game controller, Magic Blue Note5 is enough.

Game test video

From the measured (King's Glory) game experience, the helio P10 processor on Meilan Note5 is still running smoothly without jamming.

camera

In terms of cameras, Meilan Note5 has a 5 megapixel camera in front of it, with an aperture of F2.0, which supports beauty selfie, face recognition and intelligent adjustment of face AE brightness. The rear camera adopts 13 million pixel CMOS, which can support high-speed phase focusing of 0.2s as soon as possible, PDAF phase focusing, f/2.2 aperture and dual color temperature fill light.

It can be seen from the simple sample photos that the color saturation of the Magic Blue Note5 is improved compared with the previous generation, and the appearance is relatively better. There is no problem with daily photography.

Battery life

Meilan note5 uses a 4000mAh battery, and Meilan note5 has added a fast charge. Previously, because Meilan note3 did not have a fast charge, the charging time was quite long. However, after Meilan note5 added a fast charge, the charging time could be greatly shortened, and it could achieve great endurance on the premise of ensuring the appearance. With the excellent performance of the Helio P10 low-power processor and the optimization of the flyme system, the endurance of the Meilan Note5 is greatly increased. If the power saving mode can be turned on, the endurance will be further improved.

summary

[Appearance]

Meilan note5 adopts a metal chamfer design, which makes the screen and the frame of the body connect naturally, and perfectly displays the beauty of curves and radians, with a good grip. The front is equipped with a 5.5 inch screen. It feels good in one hand operation, and the border width is average. It is a typical 5.5 inch mobile phone.

[Endurance]

Blue note 5, as a 1000 yuan mobile phone with super long endurance, is equipped with a 4000hAm large capacity battery, which is undoubtedly an advantage in the smartphone market with 3000mAh battery as the mainstream configuration. Combined with the Helio P10 processor with low power consumption and perfect performance balance, and the flyme smart power saving technology, it automatically configures the power saving scheme that is most suitable for you according to different use scenarios, greatly extending the mobile phone's life. Ordinary mobile phone users can use it for up to 3 days, and heavy users can also use it for 2 days. With such a mobile phone with a large capacity battery, there is really no need to worry about the lack of battery life.

System

Meilan Note5 is equipped with the deeply customized Flyme 5.2 system based on Android 6.0, which is not much different from most other customized Android ROMs, but mBack is Meizu's pride. After abandoning the three Android King Kong keys, Meizu has integrated three common functions on a physical Home key: return, home page and voice assistant (other functions can be customized), which is very practical. It is equipped with an ultra fast fingerprint identification module to protect our privacy and security. The stability, security and smoothness are all very good. The development of the whole domestic customized system Flyme system has become one of the best used systems at present.

In general, Meilan series is one of the most dynamic mobile phone brands in the 1000 yuan mobile phone market. As the latest masterpiece of Meilan series, Meilan Note5 has made much progress in appearance, materials and hardware configuration compared with the previous generation of Meilan Note3, especially the introduction of fast charging technology, which makes us no longer worried about the super long charging time brought by large batteries. It has strong competitiveness among thousands of RMB machines, and I believe that Note5 is also a key product for Meizu to take volume.
