Speaking of the thousand yuan machine, I'm afraid the first impression you have is the red rice series. Good cost performance and stable quality are the capital of the red rice series as the synonym of the thousand yuan machine. The red rice 5/red rice 5 Plus with a full screen is the most popular thousand yuan machine at present. If you need to buy a thousand yuan machine, why not choose red rice? Maybe now there is a new choice - Meilan S6. Yes, a Meilan equipped with an Exynos processor.

Speaking of Meizu, I'm afraid the first impression of everyone is that this relatively qualified mobile phone manufacturer in China has been in decline for a long time. Its insistence on using the high score and low-energy MediaTek processors has made it lose its competitiveness in front of a number of flagship. With a series of organizational reforms and personnel changes at the end of last year, Meizu and Meilan split up, this old manufacturer has gradually embarked on the right track. Its introduction of Meilan Note6, which uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, and Meilan S6, which uses Samsung Exynos 7872 processor, has conveyed the signal that Meizu is changing actively, Now let's take a look at the performance difference between the Meilan S6 with Samsung processors and the products of the same level.

CPU performance

Exynos 7872 is composed of two 2.0GHz A73 and four 1.6GHz A53. Therefore, in terms of the performance of the large core, it certainly has great advantages over the Snapdragon 625, which is all A53 core. Let's take a look at the specific score. Among GeekBench's scores, Exynos 7872 still has some gaps in single core scores compared with Snapdragon 650 and Snapdragon 660 processors, but it still has a big advantage over the Snapdragon 625 processor used in most of the same price models, with an increase of about 30%, which is huge for 1000 yuan computers.

In terms of multi-core, because there are fewer cores, The score of Exynos 7872 is much lower than that of Snapdragon 625, an eight core processor, which can also be reflected in the application scenarios that require multi-core performance. For example, in the RAR multi-threaded test, it is far behind the Red Rice 5 Plus with Snapdragon 625, and even far behind the Red Rice 5 with Snapdragon 450.

However, in most scenarios of daily use, the physical examination is still better than that of Snapdragon 625. Currently, most applications on the Android platform rely more on the single core performance when they are started/loaded, so the single core performance has a greater impact on the use experience than the multi core performance. Here again, I would like to lament that the Red Rice Note 3 full Netcom version, which uses Snapdragon 650 processor, is still rare to meet chess players today, but the hero's life is short, and Snapdragon 650 has also disappeared in the 1000 yuan machine.

Memory performance

In terms of memory performance, most models at this price point use LPDDR3 memory. The difference between different brands and batches is not big, but more to test the performance of the SoC memory controller. In this test, except for the higher grade Snapdragon 650, other models are significantly weaker than Exynos 7872. Meizu S6 performs very well in this part, depending on the excellent performance of Samsung processors.

Graphics Performance

The display performance part is special. The Exynos 7872 uses a single core Mali-G71 configuration. Yes, a single core. However, it is said that the frequency is as high as 1.2GHz. The GPU part of Kirin 960 is Mali-G71 MP8, and the frequency is 1GHz. The energy consumption ratio is already quite worrying, not to mention the 1.2GHz Mary. In the use scenarios with high requirements for graphics performance, heating is obviously inevitable.

In the performance test, its poor hardware configuration was completely reflected in the score run. It was unable to raise its head in front of Adreno 506 of Snapdragon 450/625, and almost all tests fell behind Snapdragon 450/625. (The test software version of Hongmi Note 4X/Xiaomi Max 2 has not been updated since it was launched earlier, so some score data is low.)

Storage read/write performance

The reading and writing of built-in storage is the weakness of Meilan S6. In this part, whether it is continuous reading and writing or random reading and writing, the performance of Meilan S6 is not ideal. All the models selected for this evaluation have adopted eMMC. Although the accidental factor of poor physique cannot be ruled out, it basically shows that Meilan S6 still has shortcomings in hard strength. Generally speaking, random reading and writing have a greater impact on daily use than continuous reading and writing. In this regard, Magic Blue S6 can only be considered as a failure. Its random reading is only about 12MB/s, which is less than half of the red rice series. It is really a bit unreasonable.

summary

At the price of 1000 yuan, Meilan S6 is generally good in daily use. In daily use, this Exynos 7872 has obvious advantages in single core performance, and the application can be opened and loaded quickly. However, in some applications, such as games, the bias is still quite serious. The single core Mali-G71 can only be said to be barely strong. Fortunately, the screen used by the magic blue S6 is only 1440 * 720, and the honor of playing king can be stabilized at more than 40 frames. If you change to a FHD level screen, you may have to wave goodbye to the game.
