With the gradual popularity of Snapdragon 855, the flagship models of the previous generation have entered a period of price reduction, and the Meizu 16 and Xiaomi Mi 8, which were mainly priced at 3000 yuan at the beginning, have entered the 2000 yuan file, directly competing with the new generation of mid-range models, and in terms of product power, the optimization of the mid-range SoC is unlikely to be ahead of the 8 series SoC at the hardware level, even if the Snapdragon 845 is no longer the flagship SoC.
In terms of appearance, Meizu 16 does not use notch screen, this kind of scheme that has not been specially changed, but makes Meizu 16 look maverick among the notch screens. Of course, there are also good notches in the screen,It's just that in the big trend of rushing up,How much will make people aesthetically fatigued,Meizu16It can make people who don't like notch screens have multiple choices,It's also very good。 Because the under-screen fingerprint is unlocked,So the back is a central camera,The bulge is about 1.3mm,Plus the ring flash,The whole back is still relatively simple and durable。 Meizu 16 retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is well received, but it does not support Hi-fi, and dual stereo speakers are made up and down, and the sound quality of the standard version and the Plus version is different, and in general, the sound quality of the 16 is better.
This time the Meizu 16 has a 6-inch standard version and a 6.5-inch Plus version, in terms of grip, the 6-inch version will be better and lighter, but it is not suitable for long-term use, because the 3000mAh battery life is quite average. The front screen is 2.5D glass, and the back is quad curved 3D glass, which is claimed to use nano-level seven-layer vacuum evaporation technology, and the actual feel is not so metaphysical, it is a texture similar to ceramics. The look of black and white is not special, black is particularly easy to leave fingerprints, but it has an oleophobic layer, which is not difficult to take care of. The joint between the middle frame and the front and rear glasses is very smooth, and the feeling of holding is very thin, which can be described as exquisite. As for the middle frame process, it is also related to the color, black is a bright material, and the sense of integration is stronger, while white is a metal sandblasting process, as for which one to choose, it depends on personal preference.
Meizu16The screen-to-body ratio is claimed to be as high as 91%,But in fact, the real screen-to-body ratio is86.4%,The screen is used1080P SamsungAMOLED,For the 6-inch version, the resolution is acceptable,But to the 6.5Inch Plus,The fineness is relatively poor,But it doesn't affect the use。 It's a pity that I didn't use the 2K screen, which can also be understood as controlling the cost, after all, Meizu 16 has become the cheapest Snapdragon 845 model with a price difference of 1 yuan, or for battery life considerations, it was originally a small battery, and if you put it on the 2K screen, the battery life will be even more embarrassing.
Meizu 16The average screen brightness is about 420nit,But it does not support the peak brightness function,The performance is relatively poor in the outdoor strong light environment,Normally, the brightness must be at least above 500nit,In order to maintain a relatively clear appearance。 Meizu16The performance in terms of screen color difference is decent,There is not much gap with mainstream models,Dimming is also mainstreamAMOLED240HzLow-frequency PWM,Low brightness will cause eye fatigue when used for a long time,LCDs are relatively much better。 Meizu16Another small flaw,That is, the upper R angle is on the large side,Resulting in a small amount of information missing in daily games,But compared with those notch screens that have not been adapted,Meizu16It is still acceptable。
When brushing information streams such as Weibo, Meizu 16 does not speed up with the speed of finger sliding, but scrolls faster, it gives people the feeling that the damping is relatively strong, and it is more uncomfortable when you need to roll back quickly. In addition, it needs to be mentioned that the gesture control that the large-screen mobile phone needs to do,Meizu is to make a short stroke back to the left and right and below,Long stroke to return to the main interface,Long stroke pause for multitasking,But the gesture operation below is still relatively chicken,The left and right sides are too narrow because the bezel is too narrow,So you have to get used to swiping inward from the most edge position,Unfortunately,Meizu's gesture operation experience is not good,The three instructions are often delirious,The short stroke may not respond,It is easy to identify errors between long stroke pauses and long strokes。 Android's three traditional buttons and Mback's functions are easy to use, but on large-screen phones, it is better to optimize gesture operations.
Although more and more manufacturers are using under-screen fingerprints, there are still differences in performance, Meizu 16 uses the second-generation under-screen fingerprint module, the unlocking speed is slower than the third-generation fingerprint module of Vivo NEX, and it is not as mature as capacitive fingerprint recognition, but it is also acceptable, provided that your fingers and the screen are kept clean and dry, it needs to pause for a few tenths of a second on it, and it cannot be used in strong light, but this can be assisted by facial unlocking. Another defect of optical fingerprint unlocking is that it fails sporadically and requires multiple re-authentication, which is more inconvenient for daily fingerprint payment.
Meizu 16 uses a horizontal linear motor,This hardware level has a good foundation,This can be seen from the built-in sound effect of Meizu,The texture of the horizontal linear motor is indeed quite good,But Meizu did not adjust it to a crisp feel,This horizontal linear motor appears more often in a dull sound,A little regrettable。
As the last batch of models to use the Snapdragon 845, the Meizu 16 is already a step late, but it is better to be late than never. The same Snapdragon 845, with Adreno 630, Meizu 16's running score on Antutu can indeed be stable at more than 290,000, but it is not of much significance in the flagship machine. It is not difficult for Meizu 16 to run mainstream mobile games at full frame, but it may be due to Meizu's lack of tuning experience with Snapdragon processors, it is easy to trigger the temperature control threshold, and there will be a certain degree of frame rate fluctuations, and the fluctuations of the Plus version will be more serious than that of the standard version, and even fluctuate between 30-60 frames for a long time, which is not suitable for long-term gaming. As for the daily use to open applications, there is basically no problem, and it can easily reach the main frequency of 2.8GHz.
In the camera part,Meizu16Uses the outsoleSony IMX380、OISfour-axis optical image stabilization、Qualcomm's ISP and ArcSoft's algorithm,It is known as"Yellow chapter stacking",The photo effect is also quite guaranteed,Especially the night scene part,The details are clear,Noise suppression is very good,It can also be ranked in the front position in a number of flagship machines。 Another point is Meizu 16's image stabilization, although it can ensure enough clarity, but basically the whole picture will shake, compared with some models that sacrifice a certain degree of clarity to ensure image stabilization, there will be a gap. As for AI photography, this is Meizu's current weak part, which is only at the stage of improving color saturation, and the accuracy of scene recognition is not high, and there are no bright spots.
The battery life part can be said to be a hard wound of the Meizu 16, the standard version only has a 3010mAh battery, the Plus version is 3640mAh, the optimization of the power consumption strategy is also quite general in the 845 model, the standard version of the 200nit bright screen display time is 7 hours and 22 minutes, and the Plus version is 8 hours and 36 minutes, which is only suitable for moderate users.
