Meizu 16s Pro detailed evaluation: is this upgrade "Pro" enough?
Meizu 16s Pro detailed evaluation: is this upgrade "Pro" enough?

On August 28, Meizu Technology officially launched its annual flagship mobile phone Meizu 16s Pro in Zhuhai. The price started at 2699 yuan, which was a bit unexpected. It is estimated that users who bought Meizu 16s cried. First, the price was reduced by 500 yuan, and now it is the same as the new flagship price. It can only be said that Meizu 16s users are too difficult, but I have to say, This Meizu 16s Pro has a good price performance ratio. At 2699 yuan, you can buy Snapdragon 855 Plus+UFS 3.0+transverse linear motor+dual speakers, which is still very "affordable". So, let's hurry to see if it is really fragrant?


appearance

The appearance of Meizu 16s Pro is almost the same as that of the 16s, even the 16s phone case, The 16s Pro can also be used. The only difference is that the back camera has become a three camera camera, and the flash is combined with the outer circle of the camera. To be honest, this "innovation" is of course good, but because of this "ingenious" combination, the area of the camera area is larger than that of other manufacturers, and it looks a little abrupt.


The color matching has also changed this time. There are four kinds of colors: Twilight Forest, Dream Unicorn, Black Tranquil Mirror, and White Story. What we have in hand is Dream Unicorn, which is really a dream color. Blue white gradient is also the most special of the four colors.


The buttons are all on the right side of the machine. The touch of the buttons is not tough, but it is solid.


Bottom: SIM card slot, Type-C interface, speaker.


The feel of the 16s Pro still continues the fine tradition of Meizu mobile phones - comfort. The 166g body weight is very light to hold in your hand. When you are used to using the 200g mobile phone, suddenly you get the 16s Pro, which is really a liberation.


screen


The 16s Pro screen is the same as the 16s, and its parameters are basically the same in all aspects. The 6.2 inch AMOLED symmetrical full screen has a resolution of 2232 x 1080 and a manual maximum brightness of 425nit. There are four color modes: adaptive, standard, photo, and bright. Look at the measured data.


performance

The 16s Pro is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC, 6GB/8GB operating memory, 128GB/256GB body storage, UFS 3.0, The configuration belongs to the current mainstream flagship level, so there is no need to worry about the performance. Let's take a look at the score.

photograph

Meizu 16s Pro rear three shots, from top to bottom, are:

  • 20 megapixel telephoto (IMX350), 1/2.78 ", aperture F2.6

  • 48 megapixel main camera (IMX586), 1/2 "1.6 μ m, aperture F 1.7 (OIS four axis optical anti shake)

  • 16 megapixel ultra wide angle (IMX481), 1/3 ", aperture F 2.2

Front 20 megapixel lens, aperture F2.2.


The following is a live sample:

day

Compared with the Redmi K20 Pro in the daytime, the overall picture of the 16s Pro is brighter, and the dark details are clearer. There is no obvious difference in the analytical power between the two. The white balance is not particularly accurate. The color temperature of the 16s Pro is slightly cooler, which is more attractive to the individual.


48 million mode

The resolution of the photos taken in the 48 megapixel mode is significantly improved than that of the 12 megapixel mode. The building edges are more three-dimensional and the text is clearer. However, the problem with the 16s Pro is that after pressing the capture button in the 48 megapixel mode, the photos will take about 1s to process. The experience is average, and the size of the photos is also large, unless there is any special demand for "counting hair", Otherwise, taking photos in normal mode will be OK.


at night

At night, the advantage of optical anti shake comes out. The night view mode is not enabled, The night shooting of the 16s Pro is also very good. The picture purity, noise, glare and control are all good. After the night scene mode is turned on, the highlight is suppressed, and the picture is brightened as a whole, with more dark details and sharp marks. In general, the night scene mode is turned on to make the first impression of the picture better. The night scene mode of the 16s Pro takes a long time to process the pictures.


Super wide-angle

The super wide angle missing on 16s has finally come out after a thousand calls, with more shooting angles and playing methods.


system


*Flyme8 is still in beta

To be honest, this conference is really more like the conference of Flyme8. At the conference, we spent a lot of time to introduce the design, dynamic effect, function improvement, etc. of Flyme8. The 16s Pro is more like a supporting role. Indeed, using Flyme8 on the 16s Pro is serious, so let's talk about Flyme8 in detail.

First of all, the icon has a new design. The icon of Flyme8 is more flat. The icon has no shadow on Flyme7. The icon of the setting interface has also removed the background color, and it looks more integrated with the system as a whole;


In many parts of the system, the design of "leaving the line blank" has also been made. In order to better adapt to the full screen, the desktop icon has been changed to a 4 x 6 layout, and many content displays have moved closer to the middle; A lot of dynamic effects have been added this time, and various "elastic" dynamic effects of the system can also be felt in actual use; In general, Flyme8 has changed a lot in terms of vision this time.


Small window mode 2.0

Then there is the introduction of functionality. My favorite is the small window mode. Flyme8 is upgraded to the small window mode 2.0. Compared with the small window mode on Flyme7, it has three more functions: active call out, parallel small window, and notification bubble. Active call out, that is, you can call out small windows on any interface; The parallel small window is mainly used when WeChat reads the public account and uses WeChat applet; The notification drum can switch the chat window of different contacts at the bottom (at this time, someone should say that it is like QQ bubble chat window).


The main pain point of the summary window mode is that when you operate on other interfaces, you can more easily reply to others' WeChat without affecting the operation of your current interface.


Night Mode 2.0

On Flyme8, the night mode is independent of the laboratory function, and the adaptation effect is also very good. Basically, the mainstream applications you can use are adapted. The author believes that this should be the best night mode of all manufacturers at present.

Screenshot of other application adaptation:


Smart Assistant

The voice assistant finally has the name Aicy, but the voice of the voice assistant is really "kneeling". It's too mechanical. The voice assistant's performance is also at the mainstream level now. The basic needs such as asking the weather, setting an alarm clock, sending a red envelope via WeChat can still be met. I hope that custom learning operations can be added later and the voice of the voice assistant can be changed by the way;


The smart identity screen on Flyme7 has become the Aicy identity screen on Flyme8, which is very practical. It is convenient to share pictures by long pressing and Taobao password by long pressing.


Emergency help and family protection

The news about "Meizu's mobile phone can't dial the emergency call" has also caused quite a stir on the Internet. Meizu is also very "intelligent" and has enhanced SOS emergency help and family guard functions on Flyme8. This time Meizu has cooperated with Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department and Fear to assist with the alarm function, and the system will automatically report the location to the public security backstage. The family guard function can display the position track of the guardian in the last 2 hours. If the guardian leaves a safe distance, it will send a message to remind him.


In terms of visual dynamics and functionality, Flyme8 has made progress compared with Flyme7, and the small window mode is also very practical (I only want to think about the @ WeChat team here). In many places, we can really see the intention of Flyme8, but after careful consideration, whether Flyme8 is really competitive in the current Android environment? This ultimately depends on whether consumers have stickiness to Flyme. In addition, every time you talk about Flyme, you need to talk about advertising. Now the MIUI next door has the option of "one click to close all tool advertising". I wonder if Flyme will join in later?


It should be noted that since Flyme8 is an internal beta version, the author also knows that bugs are inevitable, but he did not expect that, There are so many BUGs. Although they are not serious, they still affect the use of inexplicable BUGs;

In addition, the 16s Pro has a very serious fever. Sometimes you can feel the heat when you use it for daily use. The fever is more obvious when you play games. After 15 minutes of playing Peace Elite, the maximum temperature on the back of the phone is 43.7 degrees, and the heat is mainly concentrated in half of the phone.

So here is just a reminder to users who want to try Flyme8, they should be cautious about upgrading, and only expect Meizu to bring consumers a truly stable, easy-to-use and "calm" Flyme8 in November.


Other experiences


mEngine

The 16s Pro is still equipped with a transverse linear vibration motor, which has a very good vibration experience. However, the vibration optimization of the 16s Pro on Flyme7 is not comprehensive. For example, the coins in the toolbox do not vibrate when they land, and the flashlight buttons do not vibrate in a sense of paragraph. After updating to Flyme8, many improvements have been made. The camera also adds crisp vibration when pressing the shutter and zooming.


Dual speakers

The performance is basically the same as Meizu 16s. In the dual speaker phone, the performance is average. There is still asymmetry between the left and right voices. The bottom voice is obviously louder. However, it is OK to hang a single speaker, which is a rare dual speaker phone at this price;


mBack

The mBack of navigation mode adds gesture return, which can be returned by sliding on both sides. Users who like sliding back should like it very much.


NFC

Full function NFC, which can open bus cards, bind bank cards and access cards.


Charging&endurance

The battery capacity of the 16s Pro is 3600 mAh, just like Meizu 16s. Many people think that the endurance is not good when they see this parameter, but in fact, the endurance of the 16s Pro is good Love to play computer games Professional two-hour test, the remaining power is 86%, which is not recommended for many mobile phones with 4000mAh batteries.

In terms of charging, the ancestral 24W fast charging, the actual peak charging power: about 22W, starting from 5%, charging from 30 minutes to 58%, charging from one hour to 91%, and full charging time: one hour and ten minutes.


summary

Meizu 16s Pro is a very balanced mobile phone on the whole, with an unforgettable light touch, and the current mainstream flagship configuration, performance, photography, audio and video, endurance and other aspects of the experience are good, but the only pity is that the system is not a stable version of Flyme8, and the current beta version of Flyme8 still has many small problems, If you want a stable point, you can only return to Flyme7. If you are far away from all Meizu 16s Pro, you are short of a stable Flyme8.
