Meizu M6s (32GB and 64GB) smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

Modern users of mobile devices make great demands on the products offered on the market. Among the many flagship manufacturing brands, it is very difficult for newcomers to find their niche. Despite the fact that products from the Middle Kingdom are often associated as high-quality counterfeit phones, in recent years, many consumers have changed their opinion about the low quality of Chinese mobile gadgets.

Can you trust the company

A couple of years ago, almost no user had heard about Meizu, and the brand itself cannot be called too popular to this day, since people still have doubts about the quality of devices. However, more and more users appreciate the advantages of smartphones from this company, recommending them to friends and family.

The first popular Meizu model, combining the functions of an organizer and a mobile phone, was based on the sixth version of the Windows Embedded operating system. The functionality of the device included personal applications and an interface. The appearance of the phone resembled the eminent Apple, and in the Celestial Empire itself the gadget was sold at several tens of thousands of copies per month. After the release of the device, the whole world learned about the company's products, and users began to speak rather flatteringly about the brand itself. Today devices from meizu are equated to the best manufacturers like LG and Samsung.

Over the years of its activity, the brand has certainly earned trust from the consumer. After all, their smartphones are the most ardent opponents of Apple and Samsung. After all, models similar to the IPhone, which are in no way inferior in quality and have budget prices, very quickly found their fans. Smartphones from Meizu have their own system that combines all the best qualities.

At the beginning of 2018, the company introduced the inexpensive Meizu M6s to the market, which contains several interesting options and innovative features. When creating the gadget, the brand was inspired by the previous version of meizu PRO 6, so both devices look very similar in appearance.

Meizu M6s review

The mobile gadget is an Android smartphone with a metal casing, a large screen and a six-core processor. The smartphone is ergonomically held in the hand, and in comparison with previous models, the monitor takes up more space on the front panel.

Screen

The M6s smartphone is a Prime smartphone from the brand, in which a large, convenient 18 by 9 screen is thought out. It does not differ from the previous version with a smaller display in the size of the case, but the monitor contains much more information. The only drawback of the device is that when viewing mobile video with a vertical frame of 16 by 9, the useful area of ​​the monitor will decrease due to the side edges.

The picture quality on the screen is distinguished by a good viewing angle, no air gap between the display and the glass, natural color rendering and high-quality nanometer film on the glass. The monitor is protected by glass with round edges of flat 2 d. The curvature is used to make the edges of the glass feel smoother and to give the unit a stylish look. In this case, the smallest unit of the raster image reaches 282 pixels.

The glass-to-film-to-film lamination option reduces the reflective effect, giving the screen an anti-glare quality. The display backlight level is set either manually or in automatic mode. Multitouch function allows simultaneous touching at several points on the screen and working with several fingers at once. Display calibration is not very well thought out, as there is a large bias in cold tones. The sRGB color space is a bit small compared to the human eye's perception of tints, yielding only up to 40% color quality.

Memory and processor

The new gadget from the Chinese brand will be available in two variations: 64 and 32 GB, with 3 gigabytes of RAM. The device works under the control of the seventh version of the Android operating system and has good autonomy. At the same time, the operation of the device cannot be called too fast and smooth. This is especially true when switching from application to application and when launching active games. The device is operated on a processor element from Samsung, created using nanometer fin fet technology and is distinguished by six working cores.

The crystal contains an integrated modem from Samsung, designed for high-speed Internet access. And also an embedded non-volatile memory system, which includes a flash module and a flash controller. The compact size of the cell body and low power consumption make the memory an optimal solution for any mobile device. At the same time, the operating temperature of the EMMC is from -42 to +80 degrees, making the memory an ideal storage device for using a smartphone outdoors.

The processor performance is sufficient for running applications and games, although the graphics settings in shooters are far from ideal. The phone has a game mode with the ability to increase performance, as well as video recording.

Camera and multimedia

The camera interface includes: releasing the shutter, starting the flash setting, setting the positions, time and switching to video mode. In the "Settings" item, you can select the required resolution, automatic level and autostart. The meizu M6 smartphone is a budget gadget with a reliable dual camera.

The rear one is 16 megapixels, the front one is 8 megapixels. There is phase detection autofocus, and a dual flash, consisting of LEDs. When photographing with a two-tone flash, this device initially measures the illumination of a room or street, and then sends out rays of light in the best proportion.

Thanks to this, photos are almost lifelike, even when the device is taking pictures at night. The pictures are of very good quality, the hue focusing works correctly, the white and black balance is decent. The only drawback is that the clarity is slightly reduced indoors, compared to outdoor shots in the sun. However, the photos taken look good both on the phone display and on the computer monitor.

Both the front and rear can record videos in FULLHD format. The format is free from the effect of a blurry double image, as well as video jitter. Provides several times greater picture detail due to the large number of dots. Videos are recorded in MP4 format, and the finest details are displayed more clearly. They do not merge into a single background, and colors are rendered much more clearly. However, a small drawback in this gadget is the strange sound consumption. Sound is captured in stereo or mono.

Multimedia functions of the gadget: large-scale shooting of video and high-quality images in digital format, compression and decompression of converted information, the presence of an output for a color analogous video signal.

Communications

The device has a dual-band wi-fi router that simultaneously broadcasts a signal at two frequencies. The double frequency allows information to be transmitted much more efficiently.Another advantage of the module is a significant reduction in power consumption, which makes it possible to increase the duration of the device's autonomous operation. In order to start working with the router program, you must register your account in advance on the brand's website. This action will allow you to control the operation of the smartphone remotely via the Internet system.

The fourth version of bluetooth, which the gadget has, is thought out to increase the speed of receiving and transmitting data, as well as connecting to the Internet. The peculiarity of the wireless interface is that it does not use signal packets to indicate the amount of transmitted information, thereby speeding up the transmission process.

Support for the Glonass satellite system provides an opportunity to increase the stability of the broadcast signal. Thanks to well-chosen orbital parameters, Glonass provides reliable signal transmission at any latitude. Support for the American GPS satellite system allows you to determine the location of any object around the globe.

Autonomy

The device is powered by a 3000 mAh battery. Thanks to Super mCharge, the device can be fully charged in just 25-30 minutes. And in order to charge the phone only half, it will take 8-10 minutes. The battery charger tests carried out by the developers have proven that the device outperforms such famous brands as Samsung or LG in terms of battery filling speed. Thanks to the two groups of circuits integrated into the charging, the efficiency of the work process has increased by 10%, and the temperature of the phone case does not exceed 38 degrees. This allows you to work comfortably with the gadget without experiencing inconvenience while the smartphone is being charged from the network.

The usb-otg function allows you to connect peripherals without the need for an intermediary PC. At the same time, you can connect a USB flash drive, a computer mouse, a printer, a scanner to a smartphone using an Otg wire. This technology is designed to empower the smartphone. Using it, you can move the necessary files from a mobile gadget to a USB flash drive, enter information, connect to the Internet system. In radio channel mode, two SIM cards work alternately.

Sound

There are practically no complaints about the sound quality during data transfer. The interlocutor's audibility is very good. The speakers are notable for average volume, which is enough for notifications. However, there are a lot of similar devices with much higher volume.

Reviews

According to consumer reviews, along with the graphics processor, the device performs well in 3D shooters. Bright and pleasant to the eye, the screen can be individually adjusted to any color gamut and any temperature regime. Minimum brightness acceptable to the eye. The main camera is very decent, starts up quickly and takes great photos in motion in standard mode. However, if you take pictures with a dual camera, the gadget will start to slow down a little, although it reproduces colors perfectly.

The phone is charged very quickly. With active use of the device: listening to music, watching videos, playing games online, the battery lasts for 24-28 hours.

The only drawback is the ill-conceived storage of information. The phone stores duplicated photos on the internal memory. Because of this action, the memory very quickly fills up and you have to either delete some applications or completely format the phone.
