A look at the Meizu M6 Note smartphone: is it the company’s failure? Review of Meizu M6 Note (M721h) - the best budget smartphone Various sensors combine various variations and convert physical indicators into signals that the mobile device recognizes

In the remaining few months, the life of the Meizu company - one of the largest Chinese smartphone manufacturers - is filled with even significant developments. In 2018, the company will have fifteen rocks, which, undoubtedly, will lead to the absence of visits dedicated to this date. In addition, last spring Meizu presented its first smartphone, based on a single-chip manufacturing system from Qualcomm. So, dear friends, as you already guessed, the topic of today’s article will be a look at the new Meizu M6 Note.

Readers of our resource know that previously the main supplier of processors for Meiza was MediaTek. However, any of their processors were not far in terms of price and productivity, and in terms of power and energy efficiency, they could not come close to the new Snapdragon. Now Meizu and Qualcomm have mastered all their differences, and this gives Snapdragon processors a new green light.

What extraordinary new product came out of Maisie? What are its features and what special instructions are required before it? There are a lot of other foods and we will try to find evidence in this material. Let's go through the parameters, and also take a close look at all the main components of any smartphone based on the Android operating system. By the way, we present to you our review of the Meizu M6 Note and we wish you a pleasant reading.

The smartphone is delivered in a standard and particularly inconspicuous white cardboard box. If you don’t know that the device in the box itself is Maisie, then you can easily confuse it with the packaging of any other brand of mobile phone, which also respects its unique style. There are no complaints about the packaging materials themselves, the cardboard is thick and does not protect the gadget well from light mechanical damage.

The complete set is also standard enough for a mid-budget representative of the first echelon of Chinese brands. In other words, the smartphone’s equipment is very stingy and contains only the most unnecessary words. So, in addition to the main structure, in the box we were also able to see:

1. Charging device.
2. Cable for micro-USB connection.
3. A clip for extracting SIM cards.
4. Supporting documentation.

Design and ergonomics

First of all, what do you think about when you look at the brand new Meizu M6 Note smartphone? Clearly, the design of the new device, as far as one can say, is as “standard” as possible and similar to many of the company’s other devices that have come out before. We can say that in this way, Maisie’s devices become authentic and well-recognized. It may be so, but we think the more correct approach, which the company took when creating Pro 7, is to get the maximum out of uniformity and try to bring something new and original to the industry.

Prote varto vіddati designers Meizi is sure that they are still trying to add some kind of “rodzinka” to the skin of their new smartphone, which would make the device individual, and would not deprive it of a faceless, uniform representative of the model range. In Meizu Pro 6, such a bright small element was the ring frame, in the M6 ​​Note the frame was inserted with a thin line into the plastic sleeve of the upper antenna, which we had never seen before. The phone also looks more elegant, due to the rounding of the edges on the back cover, which makes the phone easier and more comfortable to lie in the bottom, as well as the thin chamfer that is located on the back part.

Traditionally for mid-budget smartphones Maisie, the M6 ​​Note is designed as an all-metal monoblock, the front surface is covered with a hardened glass, equipped with 2.5D technology. The telephone number is very clear, during the hour of testing we did not notice any backlash or creaks. It is also hard to cope with its function, and if you don’t worry too much about your mess, you can still look like new for a long time. Well, there are no tactile sensations, the metal is slightly short, but even more sensitive to the pillbox, the fingertips on the back station want to be lost, but are very little noticeable. The phone is supplied in four colors: black, silver, gold and blue. We were able to touch a number of devices in our hands, and we found the most “tasty” ones to be the gold and blue ones.

In terms of placement of functional elements in a smartphone, everything is pretty standard. On the front panel above the screen we have a large speaker, a front camera, a light indicator and a set of other sensors, and below the screen there is a richly functional mTouch button, which also controls the finger scanner. And the rear panel axle is practically empty. In addition to today's light-emitting diode, we are also surprised by two camera modules, which we need to talk about in more detail. One of them is easily lifted above the body by literally a couple of millimeters, and the other, however, is placed flush with the body and easily sinks into it, which is probably one of the options for placing a fingerprint sensor.

As much as I would not like to repeat the same speeches again, but, unfortunately, in the context of information about functional elements, there is confusion once again and about the side facets. Everything here is completely standard for lovers of smartphones based on the Android operating system. On the right side of the M6 ​​there is a power/lock button, as well as a volume adjustment key. On the left side there is traditionally a hybrid tray for two SIM cards in nano format or one SIM card and a memory card in micro-SD format.

At the top end of the smartphone there is only an opening for the active noise-canceling microphone. And the axis at the bottom can prevent the loss of the main speaker, a micro-USB port and a standard 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones, so no matter what the current trend is, it’s Thank you very much.

screen

Maisie M6 Notebook is equipped with a clear 5.5-inch IPS display with a separate Full HD display (1920x1080 pixels) and a pixel density of 403 ppi. If you judge the screen brightness to be comparable to other smartphones of the same price category, then you will know that the best one is more inferior. Farbies are bright and at the same time in the world, the colors are transmitted faithfully and appear natural. In general, the color girth of the screen is even close to sRGB and almost exactly repeats the famous trikutnik.

When you set up your smartphone, the average temperature is set, but with a special proprietary add-on you can adjust the temperature to colder or warmer temperatures at your discretion. I'll look around and make you happy no less. If you want good readability at high speeds, the IPS matrix is ​​missing the trick, and the M6 ​​is especially pleased in this regard. However, even with the extreme extremes, the picture practically does not bloom, does not jump into the whiteness. Inversion or violet colors also do not show themselves.

According to the passport data, the maximum brightness of the smartphone should be around 450 cd/m2. Even if the result is bad, we found out that neither in manual mode nor in auto-adjustment mode this value is reached. In bright sunlight, the screen becomes blurry and becomes difficult to read, which is not to be expected with a brightness of 450 nits. Having looked at the test results from our colleagues, we were able to confirm that in most devices the actual maximum brightness value does not reach the declared value and on average is on the level of approximately 360-380 no, which, of course, is not good . Proceed to cover the anti-glare present and cope with your obligations badly. So, if you want it with caution, it’s still possible to buy the M6 ​​Note on a sunny day.

The screen of the M6 ​​Note is scratch-free and highly laminated. The test shows multi-touch support up to ten touches, the display is responsive, and typing is precise and smooth. The presence is also clearly oleophobic, the finger moves across the screen, the fingertips are reluctantly collected on the surface, otherwise those that have accumulated are then easily removed by a regular server.

Productivity and autonomy

We tested it with a Meizu M6 Note M721H 32 Gb and in terms of productivity it managed to please us. As we already guessed at the beginning, this parameter in the M6 ​​is based on the Qualcomm single-chip generation system, or, more precisely, the Snapdragon 625. but it’s even simple and silent at the same time. For Maisie, this is an extraordinary idea in the world, the processor is first tested on the company’s device and the trace would be highlighted in detail. On the other hand, this processor has been under development for a long time, giving us the opportunity to rely on other devices. We and you already know practically everything that is possible about these “stones.” It’s hard to think of something to tell you about this that would be a little bit of new information for you.

In connection with this, we will not overestimate the detailed technical characteristics of the processor, but will focus on our subjective impressions of the performance on the M6 ​​Note. At the main menu of the smartphone, as usual, everything works smoothly. Animations are smooth, transitions between applications and screens are achieved even quickly, which prevents the processor from running in the background without any interference. It’s almost the same story with desktop apps, videos are displayed without lags, and the smartphone can easily handle both 720p and 1080p rays. Surfing on the Internet is also satisfactory, the phone does not suffer from problems both in work with one tab, and in work with anonymous open pages, regardless of its age in the rich streaming productivity of the “stone”, as before force of disgrace.

Well, there is a lack of gaming add-ons, then not everything is as ideal as we would like. On the M6 ​​Note, you will not be able to launch any game or set the graphics to maximum settings without adjusting. In many current projects, to achieve a stable 60 frames per second, you will have to compromise and select medium-high brightness settings. I was really pleased with the ability to select from the maximum and balanced productivity modes in the phone menu, as well as select a special game mode, in which you will not be bothered by leaking windows. In the benchmarks, the smartphone came up with no surprises and scored approximately the same number of points as other devices based on Snapdragon 625. Thus, the phone scored 63,378 points in the popular AnTuTu benchmark, and in Geekbench 4 types 858 points for single-stream productivity and 4243 points for rich streaming mode.

Thanks to those that have long been known to have mainly rechargeable batteries in Maisie phones for 3000 or 3200 milliampere hours, the M6 ​​Note has made us happy. Looks like the smartphone is equipped with a 4000 thousand milliampere-hour battery, which is quite a lot in current realities. As if we had not tormented our test device, we were only able to discharge it to zero before the end of the day at the end of the day more than a few times. Basically, with normal use, the smartphone can easily survive for about a day and a half, and in a more gentle scenario, the smartphone can be completely wiped, up to two days. While there is no need for testing while watching the book, then with the M6 ​​Note you can generally get 15 years of coverage in reading mode, about 10 years of watching videos and about 5 and a half years in current games.

Multimedia capabilities

The sound quality of the M6 ​​Note is virtually indistinguishable from other mid-budget smartphones powered by Qualcomm processors. The sound from the external speaker is booming, but the presence of stereo makes itself known. Regardless of its strength, the sound still comes out too flat and does not cover the entire sound range in the same world. With the replacement of headphones - fortunately, the distributor has added about the presence of a 3.5 mm jack - the situation in the world will significantly improve. The sound begins to gain character and becomes much more intense and deeper. For serious music connoisseurs, the M6 ​​Note is unlikely to be suitable, but for those who just don’t mind lying down on the sofa for many evenings with their favorite selection of tracks, it will be entirely suitable.

Camera Meizi M6 Noti - tse okrema rozmov. This time in Meiza they decided not to respond to market trends and stuck in their new solution with a suspended camera, and, getting ahead of themselves, I would like to say that the decision was to last in the distance. The head camera is a Sony IMX362 module with a separate 12 megapixel unit, six lenses and an f/1.9 aperture. The other camera is equipped with a 5 megapixel Samsung 2L7 sensor, has five lenses and an f/2.0 aperture. As always in similar duets, all the responsibility for the capture falls on a larger, stronger camera with greater separation. At the same time, the camera is designed to create a clear background when shooting in portrait mode, and is also designed to help the smartphone increase the speed of focusing in the absence of insufficient lighting.

Looking at how the Meizu M6 Note falls into the class of mid-budget devices, it’s too bad to say that it’s bad, but to say nothing. If you look at the photo and don’t know what’s on the M6, you might think that they took a very expensive camera. The smartphone does a great job with color and white balance, detail and sharpness are also at a very high level. It was the night winter that bothered us the most. Thanks to the high-aperture optics and good focusing, you can see a lot of details in the frame, but the digital noise is almost non-existent, which is not significant for this class of devices. Also present in a smartphone is the ability to manually adjust certain parameters. For example, you can finely adjust the brightness from one thousandth to 20 seconds, adjust ISO from 100 to 3200, and also select the focusing and white balance parameters.

The main camera of the M6 ​​Note can record video in 4K format at 30 frames per second. The ability to appear attractive and pleasing is almost the same as the photo. However, in contrast to photography in a much larger world, those who notice that the smartphone is really far from a flagship. Considering the lack of stabilization, the picture looks a little shaky, but sound recording is not the strongest side of this device.

And the front camera axis did not disappoint at all. Vaughn allowed 16 megapixels and f/2.0 aperture, which is not so often possible in devices of this category. Always high quality images come out clear and rich in detail. Of course, there are also various modes for decorating and enhancing the texture of the individual. Selfie lovers will be left unsatisfied.

shell software

Meizu M6 Note operates on the basis of the Android 7.1.2 operating system and the proprietary Flyme 6 shell. It is clear that the discussion about software shells is a kind of discussion about relishes, but about relishes, apparently, I don’t disagree to be. The evaluation of the membrane is rich in what lies not in objective advantages, but in the advantages of specific people and in addition, how rusty the sound is to this or that other membrane. So, while people are strongly in favor of pure Android, others may not be able to imagine living without Flyme or, for example, MIUI.

Prote in objective reality does not go anywhere and the skin membrane is filled with a new set of jaundices. Thus, Flyme 6 among other software shells appears in the presence of a separate list of add-ons, as in many other systems in China, all add-on icons are located directly on the desktop. Another notable feature of the system may be the even wider possibilities for customization. You can change anything at your discretion: tapestries, themes, icon and font sizes, status bar, adjust automatic screen activation, and much more.

Flyme 6 supports the robot in several modes. Available simplified robot mode, which increases the size of interface elements and fonts, a child mode, which limits the number of additional applications, and a guest mode, which limits the size of traffic and access to special data. Another advantage of the Maisie shell is the wide range of gestures that can be used to unlock your smartphone, control the music player, launch song programs and add-ons, and many other options. іanti vikoristannya.

On the M6 ​​Note, the proprietary shell runs smoothly, everything is adjusted and adjusted very clearly. Over the course of an hour of use, we had no problems with bugs, glitches or freezes. You can argue for a long time about the advantages and shortcomings of competitors’ software shells, but you can’t ignore the great work Meizu has done with Flyme.

The Meizu M6 Note smartphone boasts a large screen, a large battery and a clear camera at an equally low price (15 ... 20 thousand rubles, depending on the version). The phone number is simple in Vikoristan, people who don’t know about working with smartphones can use it.

Equipment

The Meizu M6 Note smartphone will arrive in a white cardboard box before purchase. In the middle of the phone there is:

• microUSB cable
• Charger 5 ... 12 V, 2 ... 3A, 18 W
• Fiddle for card slot

Design

Looking at the Meizu M6 Note smartphone, the look is almost from an outside perspective. It attracts attention with its beautiful body, even with a touch of metal. On the back panel there are only two thin pieces of plastic, under which the phone’s antennas are located. The stinks are prepared in the color of the body and may not be noticeable on the burning aphids.

The housing is clear, it is easy to hold the phone in your hand regardless of its large size. This is combined with beveled side edges and chamfers at the transition from the back cover to the ends. They create their own frame, making it easy to trim the smartphone with your fingers. The chamfers on the front side are polished.

On the back panel of Meizu M6 Note, vertically, next to one view of one, there are extended camera eyes, the top of which is lined with a rim to protect against occasional mechanical damage. The top one can easily extend beyond the flatness of the lid. The light-emitting diode, which consists of four two-tone elements, is installed above the antenna, which is similar to the rest of the Maisie models.

Most of the front surface is occupied by the display. Below it is a touch-mechanical mTouch 2.1 button, which absorbs pressure and light touches. You can use the “Menu”, “Back” functions, and the finger scanner.

The Selfie camera is located above the screen. The side frames are as wide as 3.5 mm each, the top and bottom are approximately 16 mm, sufficient to accommodate all the required elements. Above the display there are proximity and brightness sensors, a pitch indicator, and a speaker.

At the bottom there is a microphone, 3.5 mm headphone jack, microUSB, speakerphone, microphone. At the top end there is only the opening of the additional microphone. On the right is the traditional power button and volume control, on the right is the combination slot for SIM cards.

Whereas the golden color does not give off a gypsy feel, it is muted and subdued. The blue-colored gadgets look great. Screen size 15.5 × 7.5, thickness 8.4 mm.

screen

The screen of the Meizu smartphone version M6 Note (M721h) has the following characteristics:

The smartphone has a standard 16:9 aspect ratio screen, which lacks a lot of kinks. It is resistant to stains and is clearly oleophobic and has an anti-shrink coating. There is no mark on the image, the finger easily moves across the screen. At the bottom of the screen there are 3 touch buttons for controlling the phone.

IPS-matrix Vikonan without glass flashing. The image is bright, barvyste. Brightness is not very high, the maximum value is stated to be 450 cd/m², although in practice it turns out to be 380 cd/m². Contrast ratio 850: 1 with official value 1000: 1.

Let me take a look at the Meizu M6 Note at its best. The image may not be confused when viewed under the skin.

productivity

Technical characteristics and parameters of Meizu M6 Note are listed in the table:

The Meizu M6 Note smartphone is a first-class smartphone, not the same as the M1, intended for the Chinese market, the company’s model with a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. Its productivity and energy efficiency are higher, lower than the previous models of the brand. In AnTuTu tests, the smartphone scores 64 thousand. Baliv.

The Flyme 6.0G shell differs little from previous versions. There is no list of add-ons, the smell is scattered across the screen. 15 labels are placed on the curtain. You can remove some of them or replace them with others. On the right side of the screen there is a quick click button.

You can work in a balanced mode, in certain situations switching to the most productive one. Copes with everyday tasks and allows you to launch serious daily games. For them, it’s better to use a special mode that allows you to turn on mBack, notifications, and gestures. The smartphone smoothly switches between applications; after exiting the background mode, do not restart it. There is no Google Play store. You can download the required programs from the Meizu store.

Є mode for people with limited vision (large fonts and icons), child mode (intermitters traffic, making it possible to establish access to other programs). Guest mode allows you to receive special information from private members.

You can use gestures to unlock the screen, launch the app or the player. You can start searching by swiping up and down. The lower navigation panel allows you to configure notification and status bar settings, icon size, trellises, and automatic display activation. The virtual navigation button can be dragged manually on the display.

The memory capacity in Meizu M6 Note depends on the selected model, and it depends on the price. It is possible to insert a memory card into the combination slot, replacing one of the nanoSIM cards used for linking with it.

cameras

The Meizu M6 Note smartphone is equipped with a secondary main camera. It allows the background to be easily dissected, and the sharpness is immediately affected by the Sony IMX362 sensor. One of them has an aperture of f/1.9, phase focus Dual PD (0.03 s), 6 lenses, pixel size 1.4 microns. The second one is 5 MP, 5 lenses. There is a color sensor, for example, in the Meizu M6 version of the Note PRO 7 version. One is 12 megapixels, the other is monochrome, 5 megapixels.

These characteristics make it possible to capture clear photographs with high detail in bright, sunny conditions. The bokeh effect in portrait mode looks natural. If there is insufficient lightening, the brightness of the photos will decrease and become less pleasant. You can shoot video in 4k, FullHD modes.

The front camera is equipped with a Samsung sensor with a resolution of 16 megapixels and an f/2 aperture. Photos are not very clear (not visible wrinkles or small imperfections). You may be worthy of this wealth.

Photo and video processing is processed by ArcSoft software. The camera interface is clear, all the necessary tools are displayed on the main screen: start button, video, review of previous shots, timer settings, settings, camera selection. Post-focus function. Install the grid, adjust the resolution of photos, videos, and adjust the self-timer. Tim, if you don’t trust automation, you will need a manual lifting mode.

zv'azok

The Meizu M6 Note smartphone operates in 2G, 3G and 4G FDD-LTE. Wi-Fi operates at a frequency of 2.4 and 5 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2 + LE. The smartphone uses GPS and GLONASS for navigation. Companions know exactly what it means. E support for OTG, USB-HOST for connecting to a laptop and other devices, input and output work.

In the fight against the pressure of budget smartphones, the company Meizu has joined the fight for the rich, and it is going through this for hours. Sales of smartphones from this company are falling in the local Chinese market. It was necessary to release this product for a small pittance, so that the company could expand its establishment. And this was broken down, if it were presented that the budget phone Meizu Note 9 has outstanding characteristics for its price.

The new device will compete with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, and even the devices are very similar in terms of equipment and performance. What the Note 9 stands out for is its high productivity, excellent battery life, powerful camera and beautiful design. More details about the new product from Meizu will be discussed in this review.

Technical characteristics

Video review of Meizu Note 9:

Equipment

For some reason, the appearance of the packaging has not changed, it is still the same simple white box made of thick cardboard. On its surface there is only the name of the model and a description of certain parameters. In the middle there are no surprises either. Koristuvach removes access to the slots, USB-C cable, 18-watt hemline adapter and paper. In the old days, the Chinese wanted to better protect what they had to buy.

Design and materials

Despite the external appearance of Meizu devices, there are rarely any complaints. Before this important part of the smartphone, the tester should be installed seriously. The larger apartments look attractive and solid. Regardless of its accessibility, Note 9 also pleases with its cute design.

The metal frame fits well with the glass back cover, which is curved at the edges for good ergonomics. From the front, what immediately catches your eye is the miniature screen visor, like a speck. The guys from Meizu, due to their conservatism, did not stand up to the drop-shaped trend and needed to promote the availability of their products.

They also tried to make the textile panel fashionable, so it will enchant with the shimmer when the light fades. But it’s incredibly slimy, so it’s difficult to call wearing a bath without a cover comfortable.

The color scheme is surrounded by black, blue and white options. Clean people will prefer a smartphone with a white back, as it will make it easier to track your fingers. The gadget weighs 170 grams, proportions - 153.1 × 74.4 × 8.7 mm.

At 85 watts, the front panel is occupied by the screen, since the frames here are quite thin. The side entrances are difficult to look at, the space below and the beast have also been decently changed. All this allows the smartphone to look around the clock.

The underground chamber module is now located in the middle of nowhere, and there is a sleeping area underneath it. There is also an area on the back for reading the markings, so there is no need to fumble for a long time, so the finger immediately falls on this round piece. The bottom end of the integration has a USB-C port, which is still amazing for a budget device. This is an excellent decision, as it has long been asked for. The USB connector contains a 3.5 mm input, speaker and voice microphone. On the upper edge there is only a sound-attenuating opening. The tray can be “charged” with only two nanoSIM cards; inserting a memory card is not possible, but it’s difficult.

screen

The display is equipped with a high resolution IPS matrix of 2240 × 1080 pixels, which provides a clear and clear image. Until this part, Meizu Note 9 has no complaints.

The 6.2-inch diagonal and unique aspect ratio of 18.7:9 allow you to comfortably use the device, which can accommodate a large amount of content. Before speaking, the view under the front camera in this budget device is more accurate than in the competitor Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, and even less so. The stamp of the stolen glass is kept in the vault, the one on the new one is a bright oleophobic ball, so the stains can be easily erased. From a quick glance, the display is not disappointing in terms of contrast and brightness.

Technical content, productivity and sound

The device received a very strong hardware platform, which was introduced only recently. The Snapdragon 675 processor “rules” here, powered by a technological process of 11 Nm. The chipset includes 2 cores at 2 GHz and 6 cores at 1.7 GHz, for processing graphics storage, the Adreno 612 module. Because of this, the device will handle all games at high graphics settings, and the heating of the case will be very small . Gamblers can only enjoy such opportunities, especially for little money.

Without saving money on RAM, the initial version comes with 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, which is no longer sufficient. The more expensive Meizu Note 9 comes with 6 GB LPDDDR4x RAM. On AnTuTu, the smartphone scores a simply enormous number of points for its price - 183,000. The technical parameters, of course, are the stuff of the day, but the new product still has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. The amount of space under the memory card is excessively limited by the storage capacity of 64 or 128 GB.

NFC has been added to the standard list of drone-free technologies: Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and Wi-Fi with support for two frequencies. Ale would be absolutely licorice, even though in front of us there is nothing more than a state employee. An important point for Meizu products is the availability of FM radio, which will not be available to anyone. Every other model has everything you need, including a compass, Hall sensor and gyroscope. The finger scanner recognizes the fingerprint and practically the first time. The third function is unblocking the rice.

I can only look at the dynamics of multimedia directness in the hero, but it sounds quite bad. It is distinguished by its high thickness and charcoal sound, and it puts pressure on low frequencies. What's great about the new processor is that the sound in the headphones has become noticeably better than the previous one. By connecting good headphones, you can please your ears with volumetric and booming sounds before processing frequencies. Although the laptop is still far from the correct music phones of the ninth.

autonomy

Note line smartphones and standalone autonomy are inextricably linked. Until then, the Chinese have accustomed us to the latest models. And the newcomer, without becoming a culprit, was equipped with a traditional 4000 mAg battery. Looking at the energy efficiency of the device, the phone is expected to last 1.5-2 days in medium power mode. And quickly replenish your battery life with the help of the 18 W mCharge charging, which is included in the kit.

Software security

The device's interface is based on the Minor shell of Flyme 7, but is based on the latest Android 9. It is impossible to check the global version of the firmware. However, like all Meizu, customers here are unlikely to upgrade to the latest version of Android, this is the company’s policy. In this regard, the competitor from Xiaomi is, insanely, better.

The interface itself in Meizu is minimalist and neat, it works very smoothly. Nothing new has been added to the functionality. As before, there are 3 control methods - gestures, classic Android buttons and the mBack soft key.

cameras

Retailers tried to impress potential buyers with the cool characteristics of the cameras, and that was not the case. For its modest price tag, the Note 9 features a rear-facing dual-lens camera, including a 48-megapixel Samsung GM1 sensor with f/1.7 aperture and PDAF autofocus. The company has a 5 megapixel module, which includes the function of blurring the background in portrait mode.

As early as the M6 ​​Note model, Meizu's budget employees began to take private photos. And here you can clearly see progress in terms of the volume of shots. I slept heavily with two LEDs of different colors. The camera, as is fashionable these days, is equipped with artificial intelligence algorithms for identifying scenes automatically. In the dark, a specially designed night mode with additional settings, not forgetting about the wide focal area, lets in more light. The maximum video content is Full HD at 30 fps.

Although there will be no images and self-lovers, there is still a decent 20-megapixel self-camera with f/2.0 aperture. Here you can see different effects and try to appear beautiful, as long as you don’t look too bad.

visnovok

The smartphone is loaded with amazing parameters, making it a new alternative to the much-hyped Redmi Note 7 Pro. Programs your Meizu Note 9 only because it does not use the infrared port. It’s also not entirely clear that the firmware will be transferred to a new version of Android within an hour. If you love Meizu phones, then this smartphone definitely suits you with excellent price and capabilities. And the cost in China is $240 for the 4/64 configuration.

battery

Batteries of mobile devices are divided into one type depending on their location and technology. They provide the electrical charge necessary for their functioning.

The previous generation of the Note line relied mainly on budget chipsets from MediaTek, as well as other parameters - images, cameras, screens, software - for mid-class smartphones. However, compared to its main competitor - Xiaomi, Meizu smartphones have always lost in productivity.

Meizu M6 Note became the first smartphone in the line with a Snapdragon processor and a dual camera. Such changes created excitement around the device, the first batch amounted to 200 thousand. The devices were launched the day before the start of sales in China.

Equipment and modern appearance

At the time of unpacking the M6 ​​Note, the buyer may be disappointed if he or she adds a smartphone from the last generation - the design of the cardboard box is reminiscent of the M5 Note. In the middle, you can find a minimal set of everything you need: a microUSB cable, a charging unit, the device itself and documentation.

Not to mention the recently released Meizu Pro 7, most of the smartphones from the manufacturer have been divided into one unit. M6 Note is like nothing that comes out of a copy machine. As a front-runner, it becomes more obvious in detail, which is important to note at first glance. To make things more clear, there is a dual camera at the back - an attribute that has not been introduced until now among the Meizu budget phones.

Upon closer inspection of the device, you can see a lot of things wrong. First of all, I don’t want to remove the Type-C connector on the bottom edge, although the new standard will become the most important point in the technical characteristics of a new smartphone. In another way, the sides of the device have become a little more rounded, which makes it feel even better in the hand. The metal body of the M6 ​​Note comes in several finish options: black, blue, silver and gold.

Traditionally, under the 5.5-inch display of the gadget there was a richly functional button and an mTouch finger scanner. The top insert is occupied by a speaker, a 16-megapixel front camera and a pair of sensors.

The small one on the right has keys for activating the screen and adjusting the volume.

Zliva - hybrid slot for SIM cards.

The multimedia speaker and 3.5 mm headphone input are located on the bottom of the device. The space between them is occupied by a microUSB connector. The upper end does not bear anything special; there is only a small opening for a noise-attenuating microphone.

Come on, back cover. The dual camera lenses come in different sizes and are positioned vertically. Above them you can easily notice a plastic antenna insert with an LED-shroud inserted in the middle.

In general, the designers of the M6 ​​Note, who are not looking for new ways, have added easy adaptations to the new model, aka the same Meizu. The intensity of fantasy can hardly be reduced to shortcomings, even though this format has already become popular with millions of hobbyists around the world. And after several days, the new novelty loses its acceptance only.

screen

The M6 ​​Note has a 5.5-inch IGZO display with FullHD resolution. Due to the high pixel density (403 points per inch), the images on the screen look solid, it is practically impossible to mark the pixel grid with a non-removable eye. The maximum display brightness threshold is set to 450 nits, and the contrast is set to 1000: 1. Multi-touch supports up to 10 one-hour touches. During the testing of the M6 ​​Note robot, no faults were noted with the robot touchscreen.

The standard IPS matrix is ​​especially suitable for advanced AMOLED solutions. Flagship enthusiasts may note that the M6 ​​Note looks rather bland and ordinary. In the meantime, take a quick look and brighten the screen and completely wipe it down to complete the basic settings. I don’t pretend to be a bigger smartphone for $155.

productivity

The front models of the line were often praised until the right reached the processor. Mediatek has long been deprived of the Meizu product, for many buyers this has become a serious reason to change their choice to a similar solution from Xiaomi. Look, the fans of the brand have been caught up with changes. The new M6 Note is equipped with a Snapdragon 625 chipset and Adreno 506 graphics.

In a pair with 3 or 4 GB of RAM, the smartphone earns well-deserved scores in benchmarks. He also miraculously showed himself in everyday life. However, a small glitch during the time of switching the camera to 4K allowed us to know about the imperfection of the firmware. Gamers will be welcomed, the M6 ​​Note can demonstrate the highest level of productivity in games. In this case, the device does not heat up and does not experience problems with throttling after many years of use.

Camera

Another lasting gift from Meizu was the dual photo module on the rear panel. The head Sony IMX362 photo sensor may have reached 12 megapixels, the additional OV - 5 megapixels. The lens has an f/1.9 aperture. The camera can also record 4K videos. True, in the early version of the firmware there are slight freezes during the hour of recording video at the highest resolution. There is no doubt that the planner will correct all the shortcomings in the near future.

In line with the front of the M6 ​​Note, having made a great deal of progress. The main camera has new software for blurring the background, autofocus and portrait mode. Photos taken during the day come out bright and clear, with accurate reproduction of colors and all the details. Photos at night also look nice. There have been significant problems that have arisen in the M5 Note.

The front 16-megapixel camera has an f/2.0 aperture lens. Selfies come out quite clear, the device’s arsenal includes a variety of algorithms for enhancing the individual and other useful options.

Speaker, vibrancy of sound

A smartphone is unlikely to be used for listening to music through a multimedia speaker. It has a decent amount of punch, but the audio track itself sounds distinctly “flat” due to the lack of noticeable bass. Music lovers are recommended to use a third-party audio headset.

The speaker of the device is very good, the speaker is a little loud and clear.

battery

The device definitely cannot be called a thin smartphone, all thanks to the built-in battery with a capacity of 4000 mAg. This is enough stock for all everyday needs. The M6 ​​Note can last up to two days on a single charge in emergency mode.

The battery supports fast charging. True, there is a Type-C present here, which can be safely written down as a minus of the device. On the other hand, you will soon be able to charge an already obsolete plug.

Communications and Internet

The list of communication capabilities of the M6 ​​Note includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS and LTE support. The device works perfectly in Russian latitudes; during the test, no connection damage was noted.

You can access NFC or IR port. You can get by without the first one for now, and the other one doesn’t gain significant popularity from a similar point of view of Xiaomi.

Video review of Meizu M6 Note

Competition, visnovok

• Changing the processor line;
• Mobile camera;
• autonomy;
• Sturdy and clearly assembled body.

• Middle display;
• No Type-C;

Meizu M6 Note is a sign of positive changes. A long transition to Snapdragon and a dual camera will make the device a great competitor for competitors. All the same, the state employee from Meiza will find out most of his negative aspects. The only downside is that it is still impossible to switch to Type-C roses.
