In short, this time is the same as when Meilan NOTE3 was eight months ago Love to play computer games The trial report of has not come out yet. Let's try again! First attach the personal evaluation link of Meilan NOTE3, which was very low at the early stage: //fanlma.cn/news/201607/c5R1GEnKxQZDB5PN.html  

No nonsense at the beginning of the text Meizu became the year in 2016“ vocal concert The king of "press conference" has released more than ten smart phone products efficiently with an average concert every month. However, among all Meizu's products in 2016, Meilan NOTE3 has the best reputation and sales volume, and its excellent appearance, exquisite workmanship and excellent experience make it worthy of the name of the 1000 Yuan Jihuang. In December, Meizu made persistent efforts to release the new youth work of Meilan NOTE series, that is, the new generation of 1000 yuan machine king Meilan NOTE5. What progress has this new Meilan NOTE series made compared with its predecessor? What is the actual experience?

Fortunately, I once experienced Meilan NOTE3 in April this year, and after more than half a year, I got the chance to try Meilan NOTE5 again, This time it's just here to compare the two generations of Meilan NOTEs, and make a comparison and evaluation on the content of Meilan NOTE5 and Meilan NOTE3. In terms of form, it is the same as the last Pro6s evaluation. In another way, it meets the identity of "liberal arts student". Let's talk about some experiences and feelings, and share with you some views on Meilan NOTE5.

Preface Change and Invariance

The Tang Dynasty is the most prosperous era in the history of China. In this era of poetry, there is a man who claims to "cover the whole Tang Dynasty with a single poem". This man is called Zhang Ruoxu and his poem is called "Moonlight Night on the Spring River". There is a sentence in the song "Moonlight on the Spring River": "Life is endless from generation to generation, and the river and moon look alike year after year", Fourteen words describe the changes and changes in the world. I think this sentence is also very appropriate for the "change and unchanged" of Meilan NOTE5.

If you want to find the most family style enterprise among domestic smartphone manufacturers, it must be Meizu. Meizu used to be the most unique one among all manufacturers, but now it still maintains this style. The front face of the iconic family design, the round shape, and the Home round key, which are the most recognized symbols of Meizu. On Meilan NOTE5, all of these have been passed on, so for users, it is Meizu's product at a glance.

Not only similar appearance, but also similar configuration. This Meilan NOTE5 also uses the classic SOC from MediaTek - Helio P10, which is exactly the same SOC as the previous generation of Meilan NOTE3. Naturally, their performance will not be too different.

At first glance, it looks very similar, but if you taste it carefully, you will feel different. This is probably the impression that every generation of Meizu new products will give users. The carving and progress of Meilan NOTE5 are naturally reflected in details (Meizu Pro6s in the upper left, Meilan NOTE3 in the upper right, and Meilan NOTE5 in the lower).

In terms of technology, Meilan NOTE5 is the first product in this series that adopts an all metal integrated body. Compared with the three-stage design of "plastic metal plastic" in note3, it is obviously more refined. In addition to the process, we can also find some small changes in the design, such as changing from a long strip to a prototype flash lamp; Another example is the change of bottom hole arrangement in the following figure.

In terms of corner treatment, Meilan NOTE5 did not choose Meizu's consistent sleek design, but, like Pro6 Plus, did CNC highlight trimming on the edge of the arc. This small change suddenly made the whole mobile phone change its soft style and become stronger.

Although the SOC of Meilan NOTE5 has not changed, Meizu has still improved the hardware level of Meilan NOTE5 in order to better experience. In addition to the parameter improvement of starting from storage to 3g+32g, the most significant is in the two points of photography and charging.

In order to further improve the imaging quality, Meilan NOTE5 uses Sony's IMX258 sensor, which is also the first model in the Meilan note series to use Sony's cmos. During the experience, the author also clearly felt that the imaging quality of NOTE5 was indeed improved compared with that of the Meilan NOTE3 using Samsung sensors.

Meilan NOTE5 is also the first model in the Meilan NOTE series that supports fast charging. Although the 4000mah battery capacity is 100mah less than that of the previous generation, because of the addition of 18w fast charging and further optimization, Meilan NOTE5 finally gets rid of the disadvantage of "slow use and slow charging", greatly improving the user experience.

As mentioned in "Moonlight on the Spring River", "Life is endless from generation to generation, and the river and moon look alike year after year", It seems that the change of Meilan NOTE5, which was released eight months after the last generation of products, is not so great. The same family design and core hardware configuration make it so similar to its predecessor at first glance. But the old saying goes "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation beats the old" After careful tasting, we can find that NOTE5 contains more "change" in the "unchanged". All metal integrated fuselage, better photo taking experience and the addition of fast charging have further improved its experience.

Chapter I Appearance and Technology

Compared with Zhang Ruoxu, Liu Yuxi undoubtedly has too many poems passed down from generation to generation. The great scholar who once wrote the "Humble House" also has a poem that is very popular. That is "Wuyi Lane", and the most famous sentence in "Wuyi Lane" is "In the old days, Yan in front of Wang Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people." . Recalling the scenery of Xie Family, the king of the two Jin Dynasties, the swallows that once stayed in front of their hall have flown into the homes of ordinary people with the passage of time. In the past, many technologies that can only be used by flagship computers can now be fully enjoyed and experienced by Meilan NOTE5.

The thousand yuan machine used to be synonymous with rough workmanship, low-end materials and poor appearance. However, with the development of the times and the progress of technology, Meizu has given us a wonderful answer to Meilan NOTE series with its own efforts step by step.

The progress from the early generation of NOTE to today's NOTE5 is indeed due "In the old days, the Yan in front of Wang Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people" This poem, once criticized by people, has now used the all metal integrated fuselage, various CNC precision polishing, and beautiful shape and design of the once flagship machine. To be honest, I can't tell whether this is a thousand yuan machine or a flagship machine in terms of technology and appearance alone.

In fact, Meizu's "face value" has always been recognized as excellent, and what is implicit in the face value is Meizu's consistently high design standards and strict pursuit of perfection. Leaving aside the "press conference" We can find that although the interfaces are all nominal 450 nits, NOTE5 is obviously brighter than NOTE3, and the screen of NOTE3 even feels blue.

In this screen photograph comparison, we can also clearly find that the screen of Magenta NOTE5 is obviously more bright, and the light leakage control is better. The upper right corner of NOTE3 has even turned blue.

In fact, in the screen comparison of this group of blue tone pictures, the blue tint of Meilan NOTE3 is more prominent. In contrast, the appearance of Meilan NOTE5 is obviously better than others.

Of course, if forced to compete with the flagship aircraft

There must still be a gap (I, ZTE Black, think that the Sharp screen of the Z9 is the top one among all mobile phone screens in the past two years. The author used a bunch of flagship phones this year, including a new machine with a real borderless frame, but the quality of the screen is not as good as this one)! In general, there is no doubt that Meilan NOTE5 has the best screen quality at this price.

In fact, in the end, a good experience starts with a good user interface. After years of hard work, Meizu's Flyme has undoubtedly become one of the best customized UI in China. I will not repeat Flyme, as long as I get started, I can feel its excellence.

Among other things, it only takes a few tens of minutes for me to restore all my habits to the new Meilan NOTE5 from the Meilan NOTE3 I have used for half a year through Flyme's backup and recovery functions. The seamless connection of new and old machines can be described as no pressure.

As it happens, Flyme 6 is about to be released in a few days. I hope it will bring users a better experience.

In fact, from hardware to<a href=“ //xiazai.zol.com.cn/ " addhitevent('bookcontent2prodetail',="" '',="" 'http:="" xiazai.zol.com.cn="" ');"="" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-decoration: underline;"> When it comes to software optimization, Meizu has never been the overlord of "pulling out the mountain with great strength", but a modest gentleman like a plum blossom. Meilan NOTE5, as a thousand yuan machine, did not plunge into the hardware war, but quietly did some inconspicuous things, such as quietly improving the storage read and write speed, silently using a better screen, and more fully tapping the potential of SOC. In fact, everything is to bring users a better experience. Just as "When the flowers are blooming, she smiles in the bushes" The gentleman in the flower never competes but is proud and independent.

Chapter III Electricity

Tai Shigong once adapted the original lines in the Book of Songs to praise Confucius' noble character, "Look up at the high mountains and walk in the scenery. Although you can't reach them, you are eager to go forward" For Sima Qian, Confucius seems to be a coordinate of his life, and he always aspires to be such a person. So what does Meilan NOTE5 most need to inherit from its predecessor Meilan NOTE3? In my opinion, it is endurance.

My personal satisfaction with Meilan NOTE3 is its endurance. The 4100mah large battery and various optimizations have made it a generation of endurance magic weapon. Two days of moderate use is no pressure. In front of the excellent performance of the seniors, Meilan NOTE5 is not far behind. Although the battery capacity is 100 mah smaller than that of the seniors, it is also excellent in experience. In order to objectively evaluate the endurance of Meilan NOTE5, the author conducted a standard five hour endurance test:

After the standard 5-hour endurance test, Meilan NOTE5 still has 63% of power left, which is not far behind its predecessors. It can be said that it killed a number of flagship aircraft in seconds (similarly, the results of a number of flagship aircraft handled by the author are as follows: one plus three is 43%, iPhone SE is 48%, Xiaomi 5 is 46%, Nubia Z11 is 57%, 360 Q5P is 56%).

Is long endurance enough? Meilan NOTE5 obviously won't give such a simple response. I once commented on Meilan NOTE3 and called it "slow to use and slow to run". In order to improve the disadvantage of slow charging of large batteries, this generation of NOTE5 is directly equipped with fast charging:

Meizu's consistent high power 18w fast charging makes Meilan NOTE5 safe to use and charge. In the specific charging speed test, the author obtained the following test results:

Compared with Meilan NOTE3, which took more than two hours to trickle down, Meilan NOTE5 took about 96 minutes to fully charge the 4000mah battery. Although it did not take about one hour to fully charge like many flagship brands, this result is still quite ideal. A full hour of nearly 80% (3200mah) of power is also quite good. Combined with Meizu's optimization, Meilan NOTE5 has delivered a perfect answer both in terms of endurance and charging.

If Sima Qian's attitude towards his predecessor Confucius is "Look up at the high mountains and walk in the scenery. Although you can't reach them, you are eager to go forward" If so, Meilan NOTE5 not only inherits the long endurance of the predecessors, but also joins the high-power fast charging "Look up at the mountains and walk in the scenery. Practice and surpass" Has. In fact, for the science and technology industry, the best thing is that there is no classic. What we see is that Meizu has brought the most needed technology to users at a limited cost. From long endurance to fast charging, step by step, it surpasses the peak it has climbed and makes another impact on a higher mountain.

Chapter 4 Light and Shadow

Everyone has his own opinion on how to write articles and books. Lu You, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, believes that "The article is made in heaven, and it is obtained by ingenuity", In fact, the most beautiful and best things are always there. You never have to deliberately pursue them. Instead, you should come up with ideas at a certain time and make them skillfully.

In fact, mobile phone photography is also a truth. The important thing is not to use various parameters, but to give full play to the "small and quick" style of mobile phone, make full use of its portable post-processing software, and record the time you want at the right moment (please forgive the author for using a bunch of artistic filters in the photography again, but this time it did not compress the film too badly) 。

Meizu's imaging quality has always been criticized, from the flagship to the 1000 yuan machine. Even the author still has a fresh memory of Meilan NOTE3's horrible imaging. Fortunately, Meizu suddenly made progress this year, and all high-end products changed to IMX386; The low-cost Meilan NOTE5 has finally changed from Samsung to Dafa Portal, replaced with Sony IMX258, a sensor with good reputation, and made new adjustments in algorithm. Combined with Meizu's always "small and quick" style, this Meilan NOTE5 can finally become the most wonderful recorder in your life:

Maybe it is the warm winter days in the south of the Yangtze River, but how can they "fall down"

Maybe it's a rare clear sky after days of haze:

It will also be a deserted path in the dawn:

Occasionally, I will pass by a foreign country that is not far away:

Where the children in the mahogany door always have innocent eyes:

Finally, I saw the rare snow in the north:

Still falling flowers leisurely waiting for spring

............................................................... Dividing line

Well, since the comparison evaluation still needs to insert a section of parameter cloud, although the imaging quality of Meilan NOTE5 has been greatly improved compared with that of NOTE3 after using imx258 (for example, compared with the imaging effect of NOTE5, which is still good, the white balance of NOTE3 in the following figure has been fed to monkeys):

There are still some problems in its shooting and imaging:

One is the problem of overexposure under large backlight, which can hardly be solved without manual mode:

This problem can be solved through the optimization of later algorithms.

The second is the still horrible night scene shooting:

Although it is better than the night view that cannot be seen in the previous work, the imaging quality is still terrible, and the noise is beyond control. It seems that at present, the night shot with a thousand yuan machine is still dead

In general, the imaging quality of Meilan NOTE5 has reached the pass line. When the light conditions are appropriate, the imaging quality is relatively good. However, complex light scenes are basically like death, and there are still many optimization needs to be done in the later stage.

............................................................... Dividing line

In fact, for the "small quick" and later convenient mobile photography, it has always been "Good films are made by nature, and they are obtained by chance" The beautiful scenery is there. All the mobile phone needs to do is to become an excellent recorder. What you need is a pair of eyes to discover beauty. Although what Meilan NOTE5 did was not perfect, it was enough to become the faithful recorder.

The last chapter is new and old

A famous fellow villager of the author's Big Green Fruit once mentioned a sentence in his On Poetry: "Talents have emerged from all over the country for hundreds of years" At the end of the comparison and evaluation of Meilan NOTE5 and Meilan NOTE3, the author borrowed this fellow fellow's Dongfeng and changed his sentence to express my opinion. Compared with Meilan NOTE3, Meilan NOTE5 is indeed "Talents come out of the country on behalf of others, and let's see the new win over the old" 。

I once mentioned when evaluating Pro6s that if we want to find a pictogram for major domestic brands, Huawei should be "Draw a bow to be strong, and an arrow to be long" General Baizhan and Xiaomi "I am a madman in Chu, and Feng Song laughs at Kong Qiu" OPPO and VIVO can be said to be "Clouds like clothes, flowers like looks, spring breeze blows the threshold, and dew is thick" While Meizu is undoubtedly the one who has been honed, sharp and restrained “ Strangers are like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world " A modest gentleman. This view is once again reflected on the Meilan NOTE5. At first glance, the new machine has the same core configuration as the previous one, which seems insincere. However, after careful experience, it can be found that compared with Meilan NOTE3, Meilan NOTE5's improvement is ubiquitous. Whether it is the upgrade of storage capacity, the doubling of storage performance, the addition of fast charging on the basis of maintaining long endurance, or the application of new sensors, everything is not so obvious, However, these changes have brought such huge improvements to the user experience. In fact, why join the hardware competition in the 1000 yuan machine market that has become a red sea? The best way is to choose a good user experience like Meizu. At least I dare say that if you are not a big player in the game, you will not be disappointed if you choose Meilan NOTE5.

Admittedly, the Meilan NOTE5 can never be perfect when the price is less than 1000 yuan, and there is still a big gap between it and the standard of the real flagship, but just as mentioned above "In the old days, the Yan in front of Wang Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people" With the accumulation and progress of technology, new technology has been continuously transferred from the flagship machine to the thousand yuan machine. Who knows what kind of excellent experience will be brought to us when Meilan NOTE develops to the sixth generation and the seventh generation? Well, of course, no matter what, SOC can't continue P10 forever. One will be forever popular
