In today's mobile phone market competition is so fierce, Meizu supports each other and strives for progress in stability through Meizu and Meilan brands. Meizu brand focuses on medium and high-end lines, and Meilan brand is responsible for low-end people friendly lines. The release of new products of two brands one after another has filled everyone with infinite expectations for Meizu. The birth of Meilan E is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Meilan brand. It not only breaks the label of cheap Meilan series, but also opens the era of full metal rear cover and fast charging of Meilan series. Now let's enjoy the different style brought by Meilan E.

Unpacking: good young products are always the same

On the packaging, Meilan E continues the simple style of Meilan series. The white packaging is matched with blue font, which not only reflects the brand of Meilan but also highlights the low-key style of Meilan series. The front is still the brand logo as always, and the side is also the same slogan of "youth good products" of Meilan series.

The label on the back introduces all the parameters of Melanie E in detail, including the color, memory, supported network, implemented standards, accessories contained in the package, manufacturer information and warm tips. From the detailed introduction, we can see the sincerity of Melanie E.

The first thing we saw when we opened the package was our hero, Melanie E. There was a factory plastic sticker on the screen. There was a description of the key name and simple function on the corresponding sticker position of the physical key. After I opened the sticker, I was surprised that there was no factory sticker. The unexpected result could only make me run naked with Melanie E.

The second layer of the package is the original power adapter and charging data cable provided by Melanie E. The right groove design enables these two guys to stay in their own space without moving.

Looking at all the accessories of Meilan E, the only thing missing is the original earphones, masks, and phone cases. Although these seem insignificant, we can see the sincerity of the manufacturer. Meizu still needs to learn from vivo and opo.

Appearance: bilateral cutting is very aggressive

In today's era when mobile phones are highly similar in appearance, it is not easy to identify them at a glance. Meilan E is also doomed to face the fate of the public, but it has changed a lot compared with the traditional Meilan Wind Meilan E. Meilan E is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1920 x 1080 resolution IPS screen, supported by full fitting process and IPS display technology. The pixel density is 403ppi, and the overall screen is slightly higher than the metal frame.

Compared with the round frame of the past Meilan series, the two CNC cut highlight chamfers of Meilan E, together with the unique radian of 9 Duan's R angle, make Meilan E look more robust. The organic integration of 2.5D curved glass, plastic edge and metal frame makes the appearance of Magic Blue E more cool. Due to the use of dual CNC cutting in the hand feel, it will feel a little harsh when holding.

The top of the screen is still the sensor, earpiece and front camera. The front camera uses 5 million pixels, ƒ/2.0 aperture, and four lens, supporting FotoNation 2.0 intelligent beauty and Face AE automatic face recognition. At the bottom is Meizu's classic round waist mTouch key, which supports tapping to return to the previous level and pressing to return to the main interface. The mTouch key also has a built-in fingerprint identification module, which supports fingerprint unlocking, the fastest identification speed can reach 0.2s, and supports fingerprint payment of Alipay and WeChat.

The all metal back cover can be said to be the biggest highlight of Melanie E. The 6-series aviation grade aluminum magnesium alloy material, combined with the integrated stamping and forging process and the professional 360 degree metal sandblasting process, has brought Melanie E into the standard of the flagship machine. The addition of nano injection antenna and CNC high gloss trimming has made Melanie E even more powerful, The complementation of multiple processes not only increases the strength and texture of the body of Melanie Blue E, but also makes Melanie Blue E have a high, rich and handsome appearance.

Although the nano injection antenna tries to match the metal color in terms of color matching, it still has obvious color difference from the side. The upper part of the back is 13 million rear camera and dual color temperature fill light, and the lower side of the fill light is Meizu logo. Meizu E rear camera adopts 13 million pixel Sony IMX258 CMOS image sensor, with ƒ/2.2 aperture, and supports 0.2S PDAF fast focusing. Compared with the convex camera, Xiaobian prefers the sunken camera of Melanie E, which can effectively avoid being scratched by the reverse position. With the metal frame processed by the CNC trimming technology, it looks particularly bright.

There is only one noise reducing microphone at the top of the middle box of Magic Blue E, and there are many connectors at the bottom. From left to right, there are 3.5mm headphone connector, microphone, USB connector, and speaker. To my regret, Magic Blue E did not choose to use the USB Type-C interface, but the Micro-USB interface, which is quite mature in technology.

The volume+/- key and the on/off key are located on the right side of the middle frame of the fuselage. The keys are made of the same metal material as the fuselage, and are processed by CNC trimming. The workmanship is very exquisite. The key press is very crisp, the key stroke is moderate, and the feedback is relatively sensitive. After the key is released, it can bounce back quickly and effectively, and there is no jamming when the key is pressed for a long time.

The SIM card slot of Magic Blue E is located on the left side of the middle frame. It supports all Netcom 6-mode 18 frequency and also supports voLTE call and dual card dual standby. Slot 2 is a mix of Nano and TF cards, and supports up to 128G expansion cards.

Hardware: 1000 yuan configuration

Beauty is the strength of Meizu E, but its hardware configuration is its real weakness. Meizu E is equipped with a 28nm process 64 bit 8-core Helio P10 processor, which is weak compared with those 14nm process processors. In terms of storage, Meilan E chooses the combination of 3GB LPDDR3 memory+32GB storage space. Although it is not strong enough, it is more than enough for daily use.

In the performance test of Anthare and Master Lu, the final score of Meilan E was 45646 and 48260. Although the running score is very low, it is no problem to deal with daily use. As a good youth product, should we also consider the pursuit of performance of modern young people? After all, young talents are the mainstream of the times.

In the game test, Meizu E can basically run the mainstream large-scale single player game "Wild Racing 8" smoothly, but frame loss will occur in complex scenes such as drift and car collision. In the process of running the large-scale online mobile game Glory of the King, there are occasional skill delays, but in most cases, it can run smoothly. On the whole, Meizu E is still struggling with large games, and it is easy to deal with daily small games.

Endurance: 3000 milliamperes, no force from heart

Meilan E is the first mobile phone in Meilan series that supports mCharge fast charging technology. The standard power adapter of the mobile phone only supports 5V or 9V=2A, and the data cable is as solid and durable as ever.

Meilan E has a 3100mAh battery built in. Because it supports fast charging technology, it performs well in charging speed. It can charge about 85% of the power in an hour, and it takes about one and a half hours to charge 100% of the power. In terms of endurance, the performance of Meilan E can not be said to be strong, but it can only be said to be enough for daily use. The measured power consumption of half an hour's video is 5%, that of half an hour's music is 3%, that of half an hour's games is 8%, that of half an hour's QQ, WeChat and news is 13%, and that of half an hour's standby is 11%.

System: Flyme&YunOS is safe and stable

Meilan E is equipped with Flyme powered by YunOS system, which is similar to Android system in terms of system interface and use experience. The flat design style reveals a sense of simplicity and small freshness.

Interaction has always been a highlight of Flyme system design. Although Meizu E is a Flyme system based on YunOS, this advantage has been effectively inherited on Meizu E. Pull down from the top of the screen is to call up the taskbar, which is similar to Android system, but the Flyme system can also call up multi task and mTouch functions by sliding up from the bottom, which can quickly clean up applications or enter open applications. In addition, it can also enter the split screen interface, greatly increasing the interactive playability.

In order to make the interaction faster, the auxiliary function also has gesture wake-up and levitation ball functions, which can quickly wake up, switch and other operations after being turned on. Screenshots are very common operations in our mobile phone operations. We often encounter long articles that need to be intercepted, so we can only complete the task through multiple interceptions. But on Magic Blue E, we can quickly capture long images by constantly turning pages, which is particularly convenient to use.

When there are too many applications in the mobile phone, I don't know whether people often have trouble finding applications. Meizu E has added the voice assistant function. Just press the mTouch key to quickly call up the voice assistant. Just remember the name of the application, we can easily open the corresponding application. Even the browser that does not exist in the mobile phone can call up the voice assistant through the web page, It is particularly convenient to use. When the voice assistant cannot search the content you want, it will guide you accordingly according to your voice content.

In addition to the normal mode, Meizu E also brings a large font simple mode that is more suitable for the elderly, as well as driving aids for drivers. For those who like to play WeChat and QQ, robbing red envelopes may be the greatest fun, but we often regret that we can't get red envelopes. Meizu E's red envelope assistant can help us not miss every red envelope that passes by us.

Fingerprint identification has basically become the standard configuration of every mobile phone. Meilan E is fast in fingerprint identification, but unfortunately it does not support direct unlocking when the mobile phone is off the screen. In addition to being used to unlock mobile phones, fingerprint identification also supports fingerprint payment and application encryption of Alipay and WeChat, adding a security umbrella to your privacy or important applications.

Although payment security is important, mobile phone security can not be ignored. The built-in mobile phone butler of Melanie E can not only prevent external virus intrusion, but also effectively slim down the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone can keep running smoothly. The addition of Alibaba applications at the moment is the biggest difference between the Flyme5 system based on YunOS. Through the organic integration with the Flyme account, Alibaba now has the functions of system backup, cloud synchronization, and cloud storage to find the mobile phone on the basis of search and news.

Facing the high brightness mobile phone screen for a long time will do great harm to our eyes. Meizu E's automatic brightness adjustment function can automatically adjust the brightness according to the environment of the mobile phone, so as to achieve the best experience effect. In addition, we can also turn on the eye protection mode of the screen or adjust the color temperature of the screen to obtain a relatively comfortable screen effect.

Photography: Phase focusing is not only fast

Meilan E adopts a rear camera with 13 million pixels and a ƒ/2.2 aperture, which supports the PDAF fast focusing technology; The front camera is 5 million pixels and supports FotoNation 2.0 intelligent beauty. In the photographing mode, Magic Blue E has automatic, manual, video, beauty, panorama, square, slow lens, scanning code, macro, moving picture and other modes. In addition, Magic Blue E is also equipped with 12 kinds of filters, such as brown, black and white, film and other filters, and can perform direct color mixing, filter, editing and other operations on the captured photos.

In the sunny backlight environment, the samples of Meilan E appear more authentic and simple, with acceptable imaging quality, analytical performance at the mainstream level of the price range of 1000 yuan, and accurate color gamut performance, without too much heavy makeup, more close to restoring reality.

In the backlight environment, Meizu E's white balance performance is very good. The dark places appear more natural and real after adjustment, but some of the sky is overexposed, which can not really restore the color of the sky.

In terms of perspective shooting, the performance of Magic Blue E is too general, which can only be viewed from a distance rather than played near. Due to the limitation of unit pixel, the perspective is very rough, noisy, and has a clear sense of smearing after being magnified.

The samples taken in the evening low light environment were shot directly without focusing, the overall brightness of the picture was significantly higher than the real environment, the color performance was as beautiful as the samples taken when the light was sufficient, and there was an obvious sense of uneven smearing in the distance of the samples, which greatly reduced the overall painting beauty.

In the extremely low light night environment, Meizu E's performance was beyond my expectation. Instead of large areas of noise, the overall picture was quite exquisite, with a certain sense of hierarchy and sharpness, and excellent anti glare performance.

Summary: the work of young people's good conscience

As the leader in the new series of Meilan, Meilan E has a good overall performance. The all metal integrated rear cover has taken us to the standard of the flagship machine. The excellent workmanship and appearance will win a large number of face value controllers. 3G+32G storage is more than enough for daily use, and 13 million pixels is enough for us to leave every unforgettable moment. As a blockbuster product in the thousand yuan range, Meizu E is mainly aimed at the user groups such as young students who are not well funded. The ultra-high face value and the price just over thousand yuan brought by the all metal body may be the selling points that most attract this group. On the whole, Meizu E can be called a work of conscience, and it is worth having.
