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 the camera and, of course, the proprietary Flyme OS. With its release on the next budget phone, it became 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. There is a dual camera with which they take pictures, giving a blur effect. We announced a new product from the best manufacturer in May 2018.

Equipment

The product is presented in an ordinary blue box made of reliable cardboard. In the box, the components are qualitatively stacked in white cardboard. The set includes: the device itself, charging with a long USB-micro USB cable, 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 paper 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 the youth, only blue is one of these shades. There are common solutions such as gold, red and black.

The front part is covered with a special 2.5D glass with the proper effect. There is not even anything to pay attention to, since at first glance only the front camera and speaker for conversations are visible. No logo, no eyebrows.

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

The back is made of polycarbonate material with a matte finish. The cover is slightly rounded on the sides of the gadget, and it not only looks attractive, but also comfortable to use, because the phone feels stable 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 scanner and a flash. There is a dual rear camera unit 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 there are 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, one of which hides the main speaker, and the second microphone.

In general, the appearance is successful. It is not for nothing that buyers refer this phone to a fashionable classic, which always remains in trend.The assembly of the device is well done, the components do not creak, the buttons do not stagger, but users note that at first they are quite noisy, but this is only in the first couple of days of using the gadget. In terms of ergonomics - 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 shell comes out narrow and comfortable to use in one hand. It is worth noting that at the same time, the unallocated space is used to the full extent effectively. There are small indents on the sides, thin frames, 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 has 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 sufficient for using the phone in the sun, there are no glare or fading. The sensor for automatic backlight control functions normally and gently reconfigures to match the surrounding light conditions.

Users liked the reproduction of colors, according to their feedback. If there is a need, it is possible to change the configuration personally using the device settings. Even for the comfortable use of a smartphone in the dark, the developers took care of a specialized “calm” mode for vision.In this situation, the display becomes yellowish, which is ideal for gaming and watching videos, as 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 install the long-familiar MT6750 from the eminent MediaTek instead. There are two modifications of the smartphone: 2 GB of RAM / 16 GB of ROM or 3 GB / 32 GB of memory, respectively. It is allowed to install a flash drive, however, in this situation, users will have to sacrifice one of the two valid slots for a SIM card.

To the question: “which one 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, and 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 did a company whose products are regularly included in the quality rating decide to equip the new product with such a processor?” Some users are sure that for the Meizu organization, the hardware tested by more than one generation of mobile devices was at one time the starting point. In simple words, the developers decided to take a processor known for its functionality 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 updates. To watch videos on YouTube, radio and other functions, the phone works very quickly, but for active games, of course, a modification with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory is required. In most other reviews and tests, they say that you can comfortably play only on the minimum 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 professionally as its "older relatives". The user got a typical 3.5mm headset jack, excellent sound with 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 that the user will miss an important call.

Learn more about the shell and its features

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.The M6T is not equipped with the latest version of both android and its interface, however, updates that come "over the air" after a short period of time after launch eradicate the problem.

Of the exciting features of Flyme:

1. Status bar, customizable by the user personally. For example, activating the function of monitoring the speed of data transfer over Wi-Fi.
2. Practical file manager. There are a couple of options, such as gesture selection, to prevent you from installing various programs with similar features. There is even support for smartphone options like an FTP server.
3. Nice keyboard with "smart" tips.
4. Modified versions of conventional programs. For example, an impressive list of functions has appeared in the calculator, so it is able to play the role of a currency converter and various values.
5. Blocking in single or group mode of names in contacts is supported.
6. Replies to SMS from various messengers, including regular SMS software.
7. Branded browser with comfortable control and configurable reading mode.
8. Optional programs for viewing images and working with the camera.
9. Great player for audio and video.

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

Camera

Despite the fact that the cost of the phone is quite small, it has, to a pleasant surprise, excellent cameras, as evidenced by the examples of photos that users post online. In this price category, it is rare to find autofocus sensors that can please with a normal image even in the sun.

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

How does the front camera take pictures? - for a selfie, what you need, but no more than. The silhouette of a person in the foreground comes out bright, anti-aliasing and focusing filters correctly define 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. Concretization and light intensity are absolutely not enough for the optics modules from Arc Soft, because if you look at how this device takes pictures at night, all the minuses of the optical module will become visible to the naked eye. Despite the number of lenses and the generally normal 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 3300 mAh. It is enough for a day of constant use of the device. In general, using the native chips of the Flyme OS, a person is able to get much more autonomy without any extra effort. 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, the only option of which is to unlock the unit. In the OS, only 5 fingerprints are available for registration at the same time, each of them responds promptly and competently, even if the hands are slightly wet.And in general, this is of course great, but users want to add the ability to unlock with a 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.

Results

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 to this cost segment every year that can go along with the trends forward. This is noted in the example of the above device. Of course, it has a significant disadvantage - 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 due to which the M6T deserves user attention not only from fans of the line, but also from ordinary people who are interested in good options.
