The Meizu 16 is the latest batch of Snapdragon 845 flagships, while the 16S is an upgraded version of the 16, with the SoC upgraded from the Snapdragon 845 to the Snapdragon 855, the main camera upgraded from IMX380 to IMX586, and the battery capacity upgraded from 3010mAh to 3600mAh. Although from the naming point of view, 16S is an upgraded version, but after all, 16S is only a machine with a price of 3000 yuan, so from it, many compromises can also be seen.
 
The change in appearance is the most obvious,The forehead and chin are retained on the front,Reject the special-shaped screen,The front camera uses Samsung's3T2,The volume is very small,But the camera module on the back has changed from the center to the upper left corner,Meizu's English has also moved from the lower half to the upper half,If it weren't for Meizu's Logo,The back looks really ordinary,It's not recognizable at all。
 
The change in the appearance of the 16S is a compromise of the internal structure of the fuselage, because the fuselage originally wanted to be small, and the interior adopts a three-stage layout, so there is not much space above the battery, and it also uses a 3600mAh battery, the space is further compressed, and it is impossible to meet the configuration of the central camera module and three cameras.
 
In terms of feel, Meizu 16S has nothing to be picky about, 165g weight, the transition between the middle frame and the back cover is very smooth, there will be no feeling of awkwardness, and you don't feel uncomfortable holding it for a long time.
 
Due to the change of the internal structure of the fuselage, the Sim card slot of 16S has been moved to the bottom, and the 3.5mm headphone jack has been canceled, but the charging Type-C port does not support analog signal output, and other ordinary adapter cables cannot be used, and the adapter cable can only be decoded with DAC. Consumers can only use Bluetooth headsets, or buy a DAC decoding adapter cable, which virtually increases the purchase cost.
 
16S's dual speakers are rare in the same price range,Although the sound quality is not as good as the Samsung S10,But it is better than transparency,The volume of the speaker above is also large enough,The two sides are more balanced。 At this price, there's nothing to be picky about. The transverse linear motor has also been retained, and the vibration feedback is still at the top level of the Android camp.
 
The under-screen fingerprint of 16S is Goodix's fifth-generation under-screen fingerprint solution, which has been improved by leaps and bounds compared to the second-generation under-screen fingerprint of 16, and the daily unlocking speed and recognition rate have reached the first-line level of Android.
 
In terms of screen,Meizu this piece of Samsung1080P OLED screen size is6.2 inches,Resolution is2232*1080,Color gamut is about7000K,The average DeltaE of the four modes is not too high,The look is also good,The more obvious slot is that the maximum brightness is only 400 more nits,There is no strong light excitation brightness function,It's not very comfortable to see in outdoor strong light。 DC-like dimming is also being adjusted, and updates will be pushed in the future.
 
The models using Snapdragon 855 will not have too obvious differences in the running scores of each project, Meizu's previous tuning of the Snapdragon SoC is not too mature, but there are no obvious shortcomings in the 855, only the multi-core performance is more than 1000 points lower. On the basis of hardware, the experience is more obvious is the optimization of the system, adding a full-screen gesture similar to MIUI, swiping left and right to return, swiping up to return to the desktop, and swiping up to hover to enter multitasking. The background management system has also been significantly optimized, and the situation of killing the background will basically not appear, and there is no need to re-enter the continuous opening of multiple programs.
 
In terms of cameras, Meizu has dual rear cameras, the main camera is IMX586 with optical image stabilization, and the telephoto is IMX350 without a wide-angle lens. In terms of daytime imaging, the difference between the 16S with optical image stabilization and the Xiaomi Mi 9 is that after zooming in, the noise of the 16S will be a little more pronounced than that of the Xiaomi Mi 9, while in the scene with a large light ratio, the HDR of the 16S will be a bit strange, and when the camera is turned on in the same scene, there will be two random results: on and off.
 
The night scene link is the advantage of Meizu 16S, even if you don't turn on the night scene mode, the imaging is already very good, and the picture quality will be greatly improved after it is turned on, and the details of the highlights and shadows can be retained while suppressing the highlights. That's because the main camera has optical image stabilization, which allows you to increase the amount of light coming in with a slower shutter speed when shooting, and the advantage is very noticeable in multi-frame night mode, especially in detail, where the Mi 9 will have more noticeable smearing and loss of detail, while the Meizu 16S will not.
 
The biggest shortcomings of Meizu and Xiaomi appear in the system advertising,For online users,Blocking ads or out of sight and out of mind technology has been perfected,But for users who like a pure system experience,Or ordinary users,There are too many ads in these two systems,And even if you turn off the ads that can be turned off,There will be a lot of ads,Very affect the daily experience。
 
In terms of charging and battery life, Meizu 16S uses a 3600mAh battery, coupled with the energy-saving optimization of 855 power consumption control One Mind 3.0, Meizu 16S battery life has reached 4000mAh battery performance, and there is no need to worry about battery life for daily use. In terms of charging, 16S still uses MediaTek PE fast charging protocol, and the officially announced 24W fast charging can only maintain about 20W of power in actual use, does not support QC or PD, and there is no wireless charging, and it takes 76 minutes to fully charge.
