Meizu X8 was priced at 1700-2000 yuan at the beginning of the listing, which belonged to the price of 2000 yuan machine, and when Meizu released Note9, X8 The price was greatly reduced, 4 64 and 6 64 were all down to below 1500 yuan, and the 4 64 version was only 1298 yuan to start. Receiving a Snapdragon 710 at the price of a thousand-yuan machine can be described as extremely cost-effective.
ID appearance,X8Adopt a similar design to Meizu16,Vertical middle dual camera on the back,Flash above the camera,Below is physical fingerprint unlocking,Although fingerprint unlocking slightly destroys Meizu's inherent beauty in the past,But X8The fingerprint recognition module area is not large。 From a user point of view, a little compromise on the design for the sake of practicality is acceptable.
The material of the back cover of the mobile phone looks and feels very similar to glass, even if you knock it, there will be no plastic feeling, but it is actually plastic, but it has both the texture of acrylic and the softness of PC, which is an example of doing big things with little money. The four sides of the back cover are curved, and the hand is very close, and the surrounding area is not fixed with screws, and the appearance is very integral. In terms of interface, the 3.5mm headphone jack and Type-C jack are retained.
The front of the X8 is an LCD notch screen, 6.2 inches, COF package, supplied by BOE. Compared with the 16 series, the X8 special-shaped screen will destroy the integrity of the screen to some extent, but Meizu has made the notch of the X8 very narrow, just a little wider than the camera, which will not affect the perception too much. In today's market, the use of special-shaped screens is also the mainstream practice, and it is also very common to use special-shaped screens in thousand-yuan machines, even if you look at the flagship machine, there is no model with a narrower notch than X8.
In terms of performance, X8 was positioned at the 2000 yuan level when it was first launched, and at that level, the use of Snapdragon 710 is already very conscientious, after all, there are still many models that use Snapdragon 660. The hardware of Snapdragon 710 is enough to cope with most mobile games on the market, including the Glory of Kings with major updates, but the frame rate will drop to about 50 frames in team battles, and there will be no obvious lag in daily use, but it is not too eye-catching, after all, it is only a mid-range SoC.
X8Positioning quasi-flagship gaming camera phone,Taking pictures is also a selling point,The main camera sensor isIMX362,12 million pixels,The secondary camera is Samsung2L7,Composed of a depth-of-field dual camera。 This combination has been used on the Note6, but on the X8, due to the Spectra 250 ISP of the Snapdragon 710, there are more expanded functions, such as low-light shooting, high-speed focus, image stabilization, and so on.
In everyday shots, white balance and color are very good, and focus is fast enough, but the bokeh effect is average, and cutouts are very inaccurate, with very noticeable blurring around the edges, even on objects with straight lines, and even more so on objects with complex lines. In the night scene, the X8's ambient brightness will be higher than that of the Redmi Note7, but the highlights are well suppressed, but there will be obvious smudging on some details, while the Redmi Note7 tends to have low brightness, reduce noise, and ensure details, and the two have different tuning styles.
As for the system, Meizu's Flyme 7 is based on Android 8.0, which is relatively backward compared to the current 7.2 based on Android 9, but there is no big problem with functionality, and it also supports OTA upgrades, but there are a lot of built-in ads in the Flyme system, which has seriously affected the user experience, and most of the ads cannot be turned off like MIUI.
In terms of charging range, Meizu X8 has both gains and losses, it gives the Type-C interface and 18W charging, it takes 100 minutes to charge from 0-100%, but it only gives a 3210mAh battery, with Snapdragon 710, the energy consumption will also be higher than that of the Redmi Note7. Although the Redmi Note7 only comes standard with a 10W charging head, you can add 10 to buy an 18W charging head, and there is a large 4000mAh battery, which only takes 20 minutes to fully charge, which is an acceptable range.
