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

Modern users of mobile devices make considerable demands on the products offered on the market. Among the many flagship manufacturing brands, it is very difficult for beginners 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 the company be trusted

A couple of years ago, almost no user heard about Meizu, and the brand itself cannot be called too popular to this day, as 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 relatives.

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 China 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, meizu devices are equated with the best manufacturers like LG and Samsung.

Over the years of its activity, the trust from the consumer, the brand, of course, deserved it. 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, which combines all the best qualities.

At the beginning of 2018, the company introduced the inexpensive Meizu M6s device 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 outwardly both devices are very similar.

Review Meizu M6s

The mobile gadget is a metal-clad android smartphone with 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 is the brand's prime smartphone, which has a large, convenient 18 by 9 screen. It does not differ from the previous version with a smaller display in body size, but the monitor fits much more information. The only drawback of the device is that when watching a mobile video with a vertical frame of 16 by 9, the useful area of ​​​​the monitor will be reduced due to the side edges.

The quality of the picture on the screen is distinguished by a good viewing angle, the absence of an air gap between the display and the glass, natural color reproduction and a high-quality nanometer film on the glass. The monitor is protected by glass with flat 2 d rounded edges. The curve is used to make the edges of the glass feel smoother and to give the phone a stylish look. In this case, the smallest unit of a bitmap image reaches 282 pixels.

The glass-to-film-to-film lamination option reduces the reflective effect and gives the screen an anti-reflective quality. The backlight level of the display is set either manually or automatically. The Multitouch function allows you to simultaneously touch at several points on the screen and work with several fingers at once. The display calibration is not well thought out, as there is a large bias towards cold tones. The sRGB color space is a little small compared to the human eye's perception of shades, giving out only up to 40% color quality.

Memory and processor

The novelty gadget from the Chinese brand will be available in two variations: 64 and 32 GB, with 3 GB 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 moving from application to application and when running 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 work on the Internet.As well as an embedded non-volatile memory system, which includes a flash module and a flash controller. The compact dimensions of the cell body and low power consumption make the memory an optimal solution for any mobile device. At the same time, the EMMC operating temperature from -42 to +80 degrees makes the memory an ideal storage device for outdoor smartphone operation.

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

Camera and multimedia

The camera interface includes: release the shutter, start the flash setting, set the positions, time, and switch to video mode. In the "Settings" item, you can select the required resolution, automatic level and auto-start. The meizu M6 smartphone is a budget gadget with a reliable dual camera.

The rear is 16 megapixels, front - 8 megapixels. There is a phase autofocus, and a double 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 beams of light in the best proportion.

Thanks to this, almost live photos are obtained, even when the device takes pictures at night. The pictures are of very good quality, the focus of the shades works correctly, the white and black balance is at a decent level. The only negative is that the clarity decreases somewhat indoors, compared to street 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 video in FULLHD format. The format has been freed from the smeared double image effect, as well as video judder. Provides several times greater image detail due to the large number of points. The video is recorded in MP4 format, and even the finest details are shown more clearly. They do not merge into a single background, and the colors are transmitted much more clearly. However, a small minus in this gadget is a strange sound consumption. The sound is captured either 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 similar color video signal.

Communications

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

The fourth version of the bluetooth, which the gadget has, is designed 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 satellite system Glonass provides an opportunity to increase the stability of the broadcast signal. Thanks to well-chosen orbital parameters, Glonass provides reliable signal transmission at any latitudes. Support for the American satellite system gps 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 is fully charged in just 25-30 minutes. And in order to charge the phone only half, it will take 8-10 minutes. The tests carried out by the developers of the charger proved that the device surpasses such famous brands as Samsung or LG in terms of battery filling speed. Thanks to two groups of circuits integrated into 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 comfortably work with the gadget, without experiencing inconvenience while the smartphone is charging from the network.

The usb-otg function allows you to connect peripheral devices without the use of an intermediary PC. At the same time, you can connect a USB flash drive, computer mouse, printer, scanner to your smartphone using the Otg wire. This technology is designed to expand the capabilities of the smartphone. Using it, you can move the necessary files from your 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 average volume, which is enough for notifications.However, there are many similar devices that have a much higher volume.

Reviews

According to consumer reviews, along with the GPU, the device performs well in 3D shooters. A bright and eye-catching screen can be adjusted individually for any color scheme 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 bit, although it reproduces colors perfectly.

Phone charging is very fast. With the active use of the device: listening to music, watching videos, playing games online, the battery lasts for 24-28 hours.

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