Meizu M6T smartphone (16GB and 32GB) - advantages and disadvantages

Not so long ago, the Meizu M6T smartphone (16GB and 32GB) appeared in the Russian Federation, the advantages and disadvantages of which are discussed in this article. The device stands out for its price, appearance, comfortable dimensions, as well as a camera and, of course, proprietary Flyme OS. With its release on the next budget phone, there are more.

Meizu M6T (16GB and 32GB)

This is an inexpensive phone with a panoramic Full View screen. The device is equipped with a fingerprint scanner as well as a face scanner. There is a dual camera with which they take pictures, giving the effect of blur. A new product from the best manufacturer was announced in May 2018.

Equipment

The product is presented in an ordinary blue box made of durable cardboard. In the box, the components are qualitatively packed in white cardboard. The set includes: the device itself, a charger with a long USB cable - micro USB, as well as a power supply unit with a plug. In addition, there is a package of documents, including a one-year warranty, as well as a security manual and a Flyme branded clip for working with SIM cards.

Design and ergonomics

The appearance of the phone is referred to as ordinary and, despite the focus on joining young people, of these shades only blue. There are the usual solutions like gold, red, and black.

The front is covered with a special 2.5D glass with the proper effect. There is not even much to pay attention to, since at first glance you can only see the front camera and the speaker for talking. There is no logo or eyebrow.

Users say that looking at the Meizu M6T, everything seems simple and cool at the same time.

The back is made of polycarbonate material with a matte finish. The lid is slightly rounded on the sides of the gadget, and it not only looks attractive, but also comfortable from the side of use, because the phone is firmly felt in the hand and does not try to slip away. On the back is the logo of the popular model, as well as a fingerprint reader and flash. There is a dual rear camera block that protrudes slightly above the shell. By the way, this is the main problem of the appearance of dust near it, which is difficult to remove.

On the left there are slots for 2 SIM cards or one SIM card and microSD, on the right are the volume control and unlock buttons. In the upper part there is a 3.5 mm Mini Jack, and at the bottom there is a micro USB slot, as well as 2 symmetrical grilles, behind one of which is the main speaker, and behind the second microphone.

In general, the appearance is successful. It is not for nothing that buyers refer this phone to a fashionable classic that invariably remains in trend. The assembly of the device is done well, the components do not creak, the buttons do not wobble, but users note that at first they are quite noisy, but this is only in the first couple of days of using the gadget. Ergonomic - more than just excellent. Everything is comfortable, productive, especially the similar sizes of devices for users have become like family.

Screen

The popularity of models with oblong displays has become a godsend for designers and developers. The casing comes out narrow and comfortable to use in one hand. It is worth noting that at the same time, the unallocated space is fully utilized.There are small margins on the sides, thin bezels, as well as an impressive screen size while maintaining the average dimensions of the gadget. In general, only the benefits of this design move.

The device is equipped with a productive screen of an innovative generation. Saturation - 450 nits, there is an IPS-type matrix, resolution - 720x1440 px, diagonal - 5.7 inches. The reserve of sharpness is enough for using the phone in the sun, glare and burnout are absent. The sensor for automatic backlight control functions normally and gently reconfigures to match the ambient light conditions.

Users liked the color rendering according to their feedback. If necessary, it is possible to change the configuration personally using the device settings. For more comfortable use of the smartphone in the dark, the developers have taken care of a specialized "quiet" mode for vision. In this situation, the image on the display becomes yellowish, which is ideal for gaming and watching videos, since the eyes do not get tired.

Filling

Something strange is happening with the performance of Meizu phones this year. The M6s is powered by Samsung's Exynos processor, while the M8c is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon. If you think a little, it would be logical to continue the series and equip the M6T with some kind of innovative Exynos, but the developers instead install the long familiar MT6750 from the renowned MediaTek. There are two modifications of the smartphone: 2 GB RAM / 16 GB ROM or 3 GB / 32 GB memory, respectively. It is allowed to install a flash drive, but in this situation, users will have to sacrifice one of the two valid SIM card slots.

To the question: "which is better to buy from these modifications?" experts unanimously answer 3/32 GB, arguing that there is never a lot of free space. In particular, it is better to buy a device with such characteristics for those users who are going to take a device for active games, as well as work with GPS.

Every experienced user knows that games and other heavy offline applications take up a huge amount of memory. But if a person only needs an attractive device with an impressive display, and he does not think to actively use Wi-Fi, software from Google Play, as well as surfing the Internet, then it will be quite easy to get a smart smartphone with 16 GB of ROM.

Of course, the question arises: "why a company whose products are regularly included in the rating of high-quality decided to equip the novelty with such a processor?" Some users are sure that hardware, tested by more than one generation of mobile devices, became the starting point for Meizu's organization. In simple terms, the developers decided to take a processor known to everyone for a long time, put it in a new shell and present another novelty to the fans.

Software, Communication, Sound

Meizu M6T operates in conjunction with Android 7.1.2, as well as Flyme OS 6.3.5, whose fans are waiting for an update. To watch videos on YouTube, radio and other functions, the phone works very smartly, but for active games, of course, you need a modification with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. Most other reviews and tests say that you can play comfortably only on minimal parameters, a clear example of this is WoT.

Meizu M6T supports LTE and 3G. There are 4.2 Bluetooth, micro USB port and Wi-Fi module.

The device plays audio files perfectly, although not as professional as its “older relatives”. The user got the typical 3.5 mm headset jack, excellent sound with a decent volume reserve and the usual features of a standard player. The sound coming through the main speaker is quite loud, so there is no point in worrying about the user missing an important call.

More about the shell and its capabilities

The interface, which the company calls Flyme, at first glance seems unusual to the average user, but it is quite easy to adapt to it.M6T is equipped with not the freshest version of both android and its interface, however, updates coming "over the air" after a short period of time after launch, eradicate the problem.

From the exciting features of Flyme:

1. Status bar customizable by the user for himself. For example, activating the function of monitoring the data transfer rate over Wi-Fi.
2. Practical file manager. There are a couple of options such as gesture highlighting that warn against installing various programs with similar functions. There is even support for smartphone parameters like FTP server.
3. Nice keyboard with smart tips.
4. Modified versions of regular programs. For example, an impressive list of functions has appeared in the calculator, so it can act as a converter of currencies and various values.
5. Blocking in single or group mode of names in contacts is supported.
6. Answers to SMS from different messengers, including ordinary SMS software.
7. Branded browser with comfortable control and configurable reading mode.
8. Optional programs for viewing images and working with the camera.
9. An excellent player for audio and video.

Actually, the interface is made in a fashionable and innovative design of the Material type, which is noticeably distinguished by clean, unique icons and is due to the lightness of everything that it has.

Camera

Despite the fact that the cost of the phone is quite small, it, to a pleasant surprise, has excellent cameras, as evidenced by the examples of photos that users post on the network. At this price point, there are not often sensors with autofocus that can please with a normal image even in the sun.

The main sensor, which works in a group of 13 and 2 megapixels, is even able to competently build the depth of the picture, and the software algorithms blur the background well in portrait mode. Even despite the fact that the depth sensor is not capable of boasting the maximum resolution, it functions well.

How does the front camera take pictures? - for a selfie, what you need, but nothing more. The silhouette of the person in the foreground comes out bright, anti-aliasing and focusing filters intelligently delineate facial features and are used only in those areas where it is really necessary.

The background, for its part, turns out to be quite noisy, even if it is empty in front of it. Specification and light intensity for the optics modules from the Arc Soft company is absolutely not enough, because if you look at how this device takes pictures at night, all the disadvantages of the optical module will become visible to the naked eye. Regardless of the number of lenses and the normal, in general, focus distance, the lens cannot give a normal amount of illumination inside, which promises poor image clarity.

Battery

The phone was equipped with a battery with a capacity of 3,300 mAh. It is enough for a day of constant use of the device. In general, using the native Flyme OS chips, a person is able to get much more autonomy without any extra efforts. For example, some users have enough charge for 2 or even 3 days, but this is in case of rare use of the device.

Security

The phone is equipped with a fingerprint scanner, of which only the unit can be unlocked. In the OS, only 5 prints are available for registration at the same time, each of them responds promptly and competently, even if your hands are slightly wet. And overall, this is certainly great, but users want to add the ability to unlock the face scanner, which has already appeared with the new update.

The average price is 10,500 rubles.

• High-quality screen without frames;
• Dual main camera;
• dual sim;
• Stylish design;
• The mBack button has many options.

• Heavy applications lack power;
• No NFC block;
• No USB type C slot.

Outcome

In general, to the question: "how much does it cost?" most users habitually answer with a figure of up to 12 thousand rubles about their device. It is worth noting that this gives confidence that new gadgets will be added annually to this segment of the cost that can go along with trends. This is noted in the example of the above-described device.Of course, it has a significant drawback - there is no NFC block, but this is not critical for all people. In general, the overall picture is as follows: good build reliability, attractive, fashionable appearance.

Do not forget about a fairly high-quality dual camera, as well as an adequate cost of the device. These are all significant factors because of which the M6T deserves user attention, not only from fans of the line, but also from ordinary people interested in good options.
