Meizu Technology has been committed to the transition from mp3 to smart phones. After ten years, it has successively launched the mid end model MX series, the thousand yuan model Meilan series, and the high-end model PRO series just released recently. Ten years of sharpening has created Meizu Technology's peak position in domestic mobile phones today. Meilan series models have launched Meilan 3s, Meilan E, Meilan 5 and other hundred yuan models. At the end of 2016, Meizu launched another Meilan note5, an all metal fuselage with a market price of 899 yuan.

&1: Packaging

Meilan note5 follows the traditional packaging of Meilan series. The blue "Magic Blue" mark is printed on the front of the packing box. The simple big characters of Meilan note5, together with the "youth good products" on the side of the packaging box, give a clean and refreshing feeling, which is somewhat similar to Meizu flyme system. Perhaps, simplicity and cleanness is the concept Meizu has been pursuing.

&2: Accessories

Meilan note5 focuses on fast charging and beautiful appearance, which can be seen from the charger of note5. Both the charger and the data cable of note5 are larger than other mobile phones. Its workmanship is exquisite and the charging efficiency will be shown later. Meizu's unique flyme system manual, after-sales, and card needles are also many, but there is no redundancy.

&3: Details

The appearance of Meilan note5 is the first to see:

Meilan note5 uses a 5.5 inch large screen with a 3.66mm narrow border, accounting for 71.63% of the screen. The white panel on the front is also a problem with many Android phones. The similar appearance makes it impossible for family members to distinguish their phones from the appearance. As a girl, I am looking forward to the introduction of colorful mobile phones, just like the big red mobile phone of a brand that just came into the market a few days ago, which is really eye-catching.

The mobile phone screen adopts GFF full fit technology, and there is a white edge between the screen and the metal frame, which makes me mistakenly think that the film is on the factory, and I buckled the screen for a long time. This is also a pity. If the mobile phone is delivered with film, the cost will not increase much, but it will give users a warm feeling.

The back of Meilan note5 is made of all metal. Silver gray body, with dark yellow MEIZU printed in the middle, which is also the usual style of Meizu mobile phones. The upper and lower silver crown antennas are really inferior to the micro slot antenna. However, mobile phones that can carry micro slot antennas are not at this price. Above the MEIZU logo, the black camera comes with a white flash. The camera and flash are wrapped with metal gray aluminum alloy key reinforcement ring, and the edges are polished in place, round and smooth.

The distance sensor, earpiece, front camera and hidden breath lamp are arranged on the top of the phone. The white panel is stable in color, without the cheap feeling of some mobile phone plastic shells.

Note 5 still follows the round waist physical home key of the note series. Like the rear camera, the home key is surrounded by a metal gray aluminum alloy key reinforcement ring. The reinforcement ring is polished smooth and meticulous. The reinforcing ring enhances the metal texture of the phone as a whole. Note 5 uses solid state keys, and you can see the home key when you pause the screen. The home key can not only press home, but also carry the functions of tapping back and fingerprint unlocking.

The top of the magic blue note 5 is smooth, and there is only one noise reducing microphone. There is a ring of metal ring on the front and back of note5. The metal ring makes the note5 sharp and angular, and the waist line is straight. It also visually reduces the thickness of the phone, and indeed increases the appearance.

Asymmetrical design is adopted at the bottom of the phone, which is arranged in order: 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone, two screw holes, USB Android charging hole, and external audio. Two screw holes hold the charging hole, making the bottom jack of the phone very compact.

The volume key and power key of the mobile phone are designed on the right side of the mobile phone, which makes it feel clunky when pressed. The volume key and the power key are placed closely. When taking a screenshot, you need to hold the phone horizontally, and press the volume down and power key with both hands at the same time. If the two buttons are designed on both sides of the phone, you can operate the screen capture with one hand.

The left side of the phone is a double card slot. Meilan note5 adopts a metal brushed body to effectively reduce scratches. After being used for many days, the phone body is almost free of scratches, which makes some phones at two or three thousand price points look shameful without stopping painting.

Meilan note5 adopts a metal body, and the metal wire drawing feel reduces scratches and increases texture. The mobile phone has metal reinforcement rings at many places, which not only increases the appearance, but also strengthens the phone keys. Compared with the 1000 yuan machine at the same price, Meilan note5 is carefully made, considerate and beautiful. Meilan note5 adopts the conventional silver gray design, which brings a steady business style to men, but it brings some visual fatigue to girls. There is a trace of regret in beauty, and full of expectation in regret.

&4: Experience

We have previously introduced the beautiful appearance of the Meilan note 5, which has a metal body, a 5.5 inch large screen, and is thin and beautiful. Then, how will you feel about the use of Meilan note5? Today, I want to bring you its in-depth experience article.

#1: Diversified choice

Meizu mobile phones always give me the impression that they are simple and clean, not only the packaging is simple, but also the Flyme system is clean. Meilan note5 system defaults to the blue keynote theme. I personally feel that this kind of blue is more profound. If it is fresher, it will be more in line with the taste of young people. However, Meilan note5 provides a "split screen" option in the upper right corner of various themes, fonts, WeChat and video software. That is to say, Meilan note5 can change to chat while surfing the Internet, or change to chat while watching videos. As long as you click "split screen", you can divide the screen into two halves, and chat and watch videos without delay.

#2: Intimate function

Android system has its own gesture wake-up function, which can use a variety of gestures to light the screen, unlock, and access various applications. As an old driver, I am very supportive of the new driving policy recently issued that mobile phones are not allowed to drive. The driving assistance function is more practical for old drivers who drive long-distance cars. The system can voice call numbers and short messages to avoid driving distraction.

Every time I rob red packets in the group, I am suspected of hanging them. This shows the powerful function of Meizu mobile phone red envelope assistant. When the red envelope assistant is enabled, it can not only voice prompt "red envelope is coming", but also automatically enter the red envelope chat interface to achieve one click red envelope grabbing. I don't know if I will get back the red envelope money of a mobile phone during the New Year holiday this year, ha ha!

#3: Running points are in line

Meilan note5 adopts Flyme5 system based on Android 6.0, equipped with MediaTek Helio P10 processor, 1.8GHz CPU, Mali-T860 GPU。 The main screen of Note5 is equipped with 1080P resolution, contrast: 1000:1, brightness: 450cd/m2. The storage is 3GPRAM and 16GROM. Compared with the price of 899 yuan, the configuration is not bad.

During the period of using Meilan note5, I have played games, watched videos, surfed the Internet, chatted and took photos. If a QQ message pops up when playing the game, the game will get stuck. Multi task use, playing games for half an hour, the phone will also get hot.

Meilan note5 scored 45317 points, and the score details show that the 3D score is average. When running 3D games, the screen will also appear stuck.

#4: Fast charging power, and skittishness leads to endurance crisis

I am not a fruit powder, but I always use a fruit machine. After getting used to recharging before going to bed and charging all night, more and more fast charging Android machines have a strong impact on fruit machines. Meilan note5 charges from 0 to 100% in 111 minutes. A few years ago, a mobile phone focused on "charging for five minutes, talking for two hours". Meilan Note 5 can charge 15% in 10 minutes, and can support half a day of standby use.

When testing the power consumption, I used Meilan note5 for 80 consecutive minutes, used QQ, web pages, videos for 20 minutes, and lit up the screen for 20 minutes, and consumed 13% of the power in total. The Flyme system has its own power management, which shows that my power has dropped from 60% to 32% in the nearest 6 hours, including 4 hours and 22 minutes of black screen and 1 hour and 45 minutes of bright screen. When the screen is black, WeChat and QQ are forced to wake up a hundred times, and the power consumption is 6% and 7% respectively. In other words, even if the mobile phone has a black screen, as long as the background application is still running, the mobile phone still consumes a lot of power. Therefore, when the mobile phone is in standby mode, it is recommended to turn off the applications that are not used in the background, so as not to be stolen by the cat. Of course, this is a common problem of all mobile phones.

#5: Photograph

Pre selfie

Meilan note5 camera adopts CMOS sensor, front camera of 5 million pixels, f/2.0 large aperture, 4P lens. Although 5 million pixels can't keep up with the development of the times, the large aperture of f/2.0 effectively makes up for the photographic effect. At the price of Meilan note5, the current camera configuration is enough for daily entertainment. As the only woman to experience Meilan note5, I think the front camera should be the key part of my experience.

The above three photos are respectively the Meilan note5 thin face effect, 360N4A thin face effect and Meilan note5 non thin face effect. The effect of beauty selfie depends on the following two aspects:

1. Face shape: It is obvious that the Meilan note5 thin face shrinks the width of the cheek inwards from the horizontal position of the nose tip and cheekbones, or that this position shrinks more than the part below the mouth. Visually, the face is relatively thin, but it highlights a round chin. The 360N4A thin face is relatively uniform, shrinking evenly from top to bottom, so visually, the 360N4A thin face effect highlights a sharp chin, forming a melon seed face. Although it is a fat melon seed, it is also a melon seed. At least at present, Chinese people prefer this kind of melon seed face with sharp chin. Compared with the effect pictures of the previous two thin faces, the picture of the non thin face in Chapter 3 is more fat.

2. Face color: 100% of the beauty effect of the three photos is selected. The middle 360N4A effect picture highlights the whitening effect, which is too white. The beauty effect should pay attention to the effect of skin grinding and proper whitening, but it should ensure the true color without distortion. Meilan note5 uses adaptive skin beautification technology and intelligent adjustment of face AE brightness to control skin color. The first photo on the left of note 5's beauty selfie in the room shows that the face is yellow, close to the natural skin, and more natural. The effect picture of note5 on the right without losing face was taken at the outdoor seaside. When the outdoor light is sufficient, the face is brighter and whiter, which is the best of the three photos.

In fact, I don't think beauty cameras need too many items, such as beauty makeup. If you pay attention to the effect of taking pictures, it is suggested that beautiful women should make up themselves before taking pictures. The beauty function of the camera will certainly affect the effect to some extent. As long as the skin color and face slimming effect are well grasped, the beauty camera can meet the public's demand for self ugly photos. hey.

Rear camera

Meilan note5 rear camera has 13 million pixels, f/2.2, 5P lens, adopts PDAF phase focusing, supports M manual shooting, panoramic shooting, GIF animation, and slow shot shooting, etc.

In recent years, with the increase of camera phones, mobile cameras have become more and more playable, and the M-file manual photography mode has also become a powerful weapon for photography enthusiasts. For professional photographers, no matter how big the SLR is, it must be carried forward. However, for daily life, why bother to carry a huge SLR when you can shoot with a mobile phone when you travel for leisure.

Meilan Note5M gear photography mode gives photography lovers some room to play, and dazzle color filter is also a function that can be played. The grid line, level gauge and time stamp can help to take photos.

Sample 1:

The photo was taken at Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center, opposite Qingdao May 4th Square. The weather is not bad in the foggy days. When HDR is turned on, the photo effect turns red. However, in my personal opinion, it is a bit of sunset charm.

Sample 2:

The shooting effect of backlight is good, the picture quality is fine, and the noise control is good.

Sample 3:

Walking along the wooden plank road at the seaside, I came across seagulls flying in groups. Take a big picture and intercept one of them. The sea water is relatively blue, but the seagull capture is noisy, and the mobile phone capture speed needs to be improved.

Summary:

With its exquisite appearance, powerful fast charging, diversified camera functions, and personalized service, Meilan note5 came into being. Although the price of raw materials in the market was forced to rise by 100 yuan at the beginning of listing, it still did not affect the market sales. Meilan note5 is targeted at youth groups and considerate for middle-aged and elderly people. It not only provides red envelope grabbing services, but also designs a system mode of simple large font. With its price of 1000 yuan, note5 has designed f/2.0 large aperture self timer lens, M gear, motion picture, and slow motion rear camera mode, giving me a comprehensive experience. Although I occasionally get stuck in multi task operation, note5 is worthy of its status and gives me many surprises.
