With many revelations, Meilan E3 finally made its official debut, and we( Official number: Love to play computer games )Of course, I got the phone at the first time.
( Live model )
Appearance design
In terms of appearance, E3 doesn't have much surprise. The front looks a little confused with Meilan S6, and the grip is very similar. The fingerprint sensor is also placed on the right side of the fuselage. However, the overall body of the E3 is a bit larger. After all, it is equipped with a 5.99 inch 18:9 full screen, IPS material, and a resolution of 2160 x 1080, or 1080p for short, which is elongated. It looks good.
There is a vertical dual camera on the back to salute the iPhone X, and the body around is also very simple. It is quite good that the Meilan E3 is equipped with a USB Type-C interface. Congratulations! After all, the author really doesn't like the microUSB~It has a good feel. The metal body feels OK.
There is a 5V/10V 2A fast charging head in the packing box( c old mCharge )With a USB Type-C data cable, 10V 2A is the first time( The specific model is UP1020 ), we can't test its charging power even if we use a portable USB tester.
The blue version of the power key also uses color contrast processing, bright red color matching, which looks very impressive. However, the position of the power key is too high. Every time, the author mistakenly believes that the fingerprint sensor is the power key. At that time, Meilan S6 was complained about by many netizens about the position of the power key. The Meilan E3 performs well in the speed of fingerprint unlocking. Officially, it claims that 0.2s is not easy to time, but the overall speed is good. However, compared with one plus five, OV and other machines, it is still inferior.
Performance of Snapdragon 636
Meilan E3 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC, which can be called the reduced frequency version of Snapdragon 660. Based on the 14nm LPP process, the CPU part is 4 x 1.8GHz Kryo 260+4 x 1.6GHz Kryo 260. The large core and small core are respectively Qualcomm's semi autonomous architectures modified based on A73 and A53. In addition, it is also equipped with 6GB of memory as standard, and there are two storage versions. The one in our hand is 128GB.
In the running score part, we will compare it with the red rice Note 5, Snapdragon 625, Snapdragon 660 and other machines that are also Snapdragon 636 SoC:
It can be seen that the scores of the two 636 machines are very close, but the 128GB Magic Blue E3 cannot beat the 64GB Red Note 5 in terms of flash memory performance~
Photographic quality
Meilan E3 is equipped with 12 million pixels( IMX362 )+20 megapixel( IMX350 )Dual cameras, sub camera is long focus, so this is why E3 supports "optical zoom", but it is not equipped with optical anti shake. However, its overall quality is still excellent, maintaining the advantage of Meilan Note 6 before, and there are no players who can play at this price.
However, in the shooting experience, the author found a situation that when switching between the main camera and the secondary camera, the interface will appear a certain degree of jam, and when using the secondary camera to take photos, the imaging speed will decline, but not every time the above situation occurs, which is quite uncertain, and it depends on luck.
Compare with iPhone 8 Plus:
In terms of proofs, in the case of sufficient light, the performance of Magenta E3 is good, the white balance is better, the color is not too rich, and the brightness of the proofs is enough. But in terms of telephoto, compared with the old players like the iPhone 8 Plus, it still has the upper hand. For more detailed photo evaluation, please look forward to the following articles.
System experience
Meilan E3 factory system is still the old version, Android 7.1.1, While Android 9.0 is coming soon, Meilan is still polishing~E3 also has Super mBack+pressure vibration feedback( Average experience, recommended to turn off )。
The small circle in the middle of the bottom bears many responsibilities. Tap: return; Press: return to the main interface; Long press: pause the screen. Sliding up on both sides is called out multi task. Sliding left and right can also switch multi task. There are many functions, but there will be some false touch. So after using for 1 hour, I changed to the three virtual king keys~

The End
The starting price of Meilan E3 is 1799 yuan( 6GB+64GB version )As a result, its advantages and disadvantages are obvious. The quality of photography is really strong, and now it is also equipped with Type-C interface, but the SoC performance is not strong enough to combine this price, which makes the author think it is better to add some money to the nut Pro 2( Exchange, 4GB+32GB )Or Xiaomi Note 3( Exchange, 4GB+64GB )Although you have lost a strong photo, you can be more relaxed when using and playing Stimulating Battlefield with Dragon 660.
Of course, if you are very, very keen on taking photos and don't have too much money on hand, then Meilan E3 is very suitable for you.
