Speaking of the Charm Blue Note series, the first reaction was "a true flagship," and no less than ten Charm Blue Notes were sold to help others snap up. However, since the release of the Charm Blue Note3 and the lack of new ideas, the number of users has reduced the expectation of new products such as Charm Blue and Meizu. Fortunately, the release of the end of the Charm Blue X, Pro6 Plus and Flyme 6 has brought a lot of surprises, the main volume models Charm Blue Note also ushered in the new year before the upgrade, to a certain extent, restore the confidence of the majority of Meizu users .
The following talks about Charm Blue Note5 from Charm Blue Note3 users and kerosene (fake).
The style of the box is continued and it is compact but not lost.
A full set of accessories: USB data cable, Flyme manual, warranty card, SIM card thimble, UP0830s charger.
Charm Blue Note5 is equipped with a fast charge, which is upgraded with the standard charger. Standard charger model UP0830s, Sercon OEM, support Qualcomm QC2.0/3.0, MediaTek MTK-PEP fast charge. Output specifications 5V/8V 3A or 12V 2A, maximum output power up to 24W, paper parameters and UP0830 (flagship standard charger) is exactly the same.
UP0830s, UP0520 volume comparison.
Due to the use of a doll-type design, the front and the front of the fuselage are almost identical. Front camera 5 million pixels, F2.0 aperture, upgraded to ArcSoft beauty algorithm. Maintaining three openings at the top, it is more surprising to restore the asymmetric design...
The 3.5mm headphone jack is moved from the top to the bottom without the Type-C interface.
There was a slight change in the groove between the power button and the volume button, and no highlights were processed. After joining the CNC trimming, the sense of the whole machine has obviously risen and becomes more sturdy.
The upper and lower end of the fuselage's upper T-slot is replaced with an injection molding tape, and the dual-color temperature flash is combined in a round hole.
The card slot adopts three-in-two designs and supports blind insertion. It can accommodate two Nano SIMs or Nano SIM+Micro SD, supporting up to 128GB of external expansion space.
Officially stated that the bottom speaker hole is carved out of a unique rectangular hole CNC and the sound is more natural and uniform. However, the sound quality has not been improved, the sound is still thin and no exquisite, and it is relatively reluctant to watch the live broadcast, obviously not in line with the positioning of the youth good product.
Length and width 153.6 x 75.8 x 8.1mm, measured weight of 175g, is an average in the 5.5-inch model. However, because the curvature of the back changes greatly, the hand feel should be heavy.
Metal-integrated body with 2.5D arc glass, meticulously polished for more than half a year, the texture of Charm Blue Note 5 can be greatly improved, the drop in touch and perception is much smaller than the previous one, and it is highly competitive in thousands of machines. Just face the appearance of opponents constantly "draw in", the situation of their own high and low-end aircraft appearance is very different, Meizu is the time to make a change.
Charm Blue Note5 equipped with MediaTek MT6755M SoC (Helio P10 low frequency version), 4x1.0GHz A53+4x1.8GHz A53 architecture, GPU Mali-T860 mp2 @ 550MHz. Compared to Note3 before, memory was upgraded, with 3GB LPDDR3 memory in addition to the top version.
Geekbench4 has a single score of 683 and a multicore score of 2436.
An Bunny scored 46727, slightly higher than the previous generation.
The 3DMark Sling Shot scene scored 483 and the Xiaolong 801 reference score was about 1100.
The official did not specify the Note5 flash type. AndroBench measured continuously reading 252.59MB/s, continuously writing 75MB/s, randomly reading 25MB/s, and randomly writing 14MB/s. The test results are almost the same as the Charm Blue Note3 (32GB version) using eMMC5.1 flash memory.
The game test selected the most popular king of glory. The number of special effects full-open frames cannot be maintained at 30 FPS, and the number of special effect frames can fluctuate between 20-26 FPS. Often, team fights fall below 20 FPS, which has a great impact on operations.
After the HD display option is turned off, the number of frames increases significantly and can be maintained at more than 22 FPS. If you want to pursue the best fluency and playability, it is recommended that you first close the character stroke option, and the quality will not drop significantly. In the 1-hour game test, there was no problem of overheating dropped frames, and the CPU maintained 2-3 large core full-frequency working states.
Eight-thread stress tests were performed using the Gunnery roaster tool, and only 6 cores worked in balanced mode (left). In the performance mode, eight cores can be fully opened, and after a full load operation for about one minute, the small core or downclocking can be disabled due to the temperature control strategy.
The daily use of small and medium-sized cores does not basically participate in the work, but only in a few cases the eight cores are fully open (eg, the APP is installed and the moment of opening).
From the test results, the performance of Charm Blue Note5 is in the middle and lower level in the same level, especially the graphics performance, and the basic bottom. It is recommended that users who have certain requirements for game performance give priority to purchasing models equipped with the X20 or Snapdragon 625. In terms of power consumption, although the P10 for energy-saving positioning is much lower than that of the flagship SoC, its performance ratio has already lagged behind Xiaolong 625 and P20 due to process limitations.
The Flyme6 comparison part was originally mentioned in the public measurement plan. Since the current Note Blue Flyme6 firmware has not yet released a stable version, this part is cancelled. This article all experience based on the latest stable firmware Flyme 5.2.11.2A.
The system is based on Android 6.0
The space available in the new machine is 23.46 GB. You can uninstall the preinstalled APP manually.
The built-in mobile butler is fully functional, and ordinary users can save the steps of installing third-party system management software.
Selecting an energy-saving mode will turn off all large cores, leaving only 1 GHz of small core work. At this point, the system's response speed dropped significantly, and it has no use value, so it has been cancelled in the Flyme6 test firmware. Flyme 5 has relatively strict restrictions on background applications, and users often report that some applications cannot receive push notifications when they are in standby. The solution is to manually set the background to allow running in the power consumption management.
The file manager logic is clear, intelligent classification of documents, garbage cleanup, and encryption areas are the current standard, Flyme will naturally not be less. In addition, it also integrates remote management and network neighborhood functions.
Dial page yellow page
The application of entertainment information is relatively complete, and the experience of use is not lost in mainstream third-party applications. However, the integration of member services has yet to be improved.
Built-in interception long map function, long press the power button + volume key to enter.
The retouching module is fully functional, except for the lack of puzzle options.
The advertising push that everyone vomits is actually not the patent of the friend, the application that Flyme brings will push the advertisement too. However, most advertisements can be closed, but it is inconvenient to enter each application one by one. Since users are determined to shut down, isn't the official point of refreshment available in the App Notifications Management Center?
Relying on the floating ball + mBack, this combination of gold has never been disappointing in terms of interaction, and there will be a variety of discomfort (toxicity) when using other mobile phones.
The most unexpected thing was that during the experience, we encountered "a chronic illness" and the compass failed. The direction can only be changed in the northeast.
After a series of attempts to replace the Map App with the Shuangqing Brush, they all ended in failure. There are many discussion posts on the forums and posts on the compass. The explanation is not an example. Officially mentioned in 5.2.11.2A firmware update instructions compass jitter has been fixed, but many user feedback did not solve the problem of failure, had to make people suspect that the charm Blue Note5 hardware defects.
Flyme, as one of the earliest customized systems in China, has been able to achieve a good balance in terms of practicability, functionality, and humanity, so that many users have clearly stated that buying Meizu is a system. However, the advantages of the system need to be continuously updated to maintain, Flyme 6 does bring a lot of new features, but by comparison can be found that Flyme's update speed obviously lags behind the friendly business, Charm Blue Note5 so-called priority adaptation is even more eye-popping, Hope Meizu can face this problem.
Charm Blue Note5 screen uses GFF bonding technology, the highest brightness of 450cd/m2, 1000:1 contrast ratio. The official did not mention the type of panel, and the official description of the evil blue E is IPS screen.
The total width of the border is about 3.5mm, which is not very narrow, but obviously the user's acceptance is higher than that of the ID-based frameless design.
The measured color temperature is 8400K, the contrast ratio is 969:1, Gamma 2.19, and the maximum brightness is 452cd/m2. There is no problem using in daytime outdoor environment, but the automatic brightness is too conservative, usually I will manually pull to the maximum brightness while retaining the automatic brightness.
The viewing angle is good, and the saturation angle of the drilling angle (such as the diagonal direction) is more severe.
Originally intended to use Starscream to generate a complete test report, but compared with the naked eye found that the contrast between the screen is more intuitive and obvious, both machines are the default color mode, brightness of about 450cd/m2, camera white balance is set to 6500K color temperature (top iPhone6s, below the charm Blue Note5).
Charm Blue Note5's screen is compared with the calibrated monitor or iPhone 6s, and it can be clearly noticed that the color difference is extremely large, with a clear tendency to oversaturate (especially in the cyan system), and it is green when displayed in white. However, the lack of good color management is a common problem for Android devices. The market environment makes the requirements of domestic manufacturers still remain at the level of the color gamut, and so does the flagship. Charm Blue Note5 as a thousand Yuan machine really can not require too much.
Charm Blue Note5 is equipped with 13 million pixel rear camera, F2.2 aperture, 5P mirror structure, dual color temperature flash, support phase focus. The official did not mention the specific sensor model, the rumor has been upgraded to the Sony IMX258.
The camera interface is refreshing and easy to use, with few customization options, but the stability needs to be improved. During the experience, several viewfinder screens are paused (3 to 5 seconds).
Some readers may not be aware of the level of the camera of the Charm Blue Note3. In a word, they summed up most of the common problems of low-end camera modules, and put them at the bottom of the same model. Instead of using Note3 for comparison, look directly at the iPhone 6s (no optical image stabilization, F2.2 aperture, and 1/3 inch sensor) with similar specifications.
Outdoor proofs
The actual focal length of the lens is 3.5mm. According to the size of the sensor, the 35mm equivalent focal length is about 26mm, which can accommodate more scenes than most models (28~30mm).
Under normal circumstances Charm Blue Note5 color style biased toward glamorous, once encountered a large proportion of the blue sky scene, the white balance will inevitably be obviously warmer, hair color is very boring. The center resolving power is basically at the same level as the iPhone 6s, but the traces of late sharpening are heavy and unnatural. Maybe there is a certain amount of bonus on the mobile phone screen?
HDR proofs
There are two main problems in the HDR mode of Charm Blue Note5. One is that it cannot be triggered automatically. Secondly, after the HDR is turned on, the stability of the handheld is very high. It takes two or three seconds to remain stationary to complete one shot. After the HDR was turned on, the details of the highlights and shadows were preserved, but it was obviously overused compared to the 6s. In many scenes, the problem of oversight was high.
Night lights
In dark scenes, the power of the Note Blue Note5 significantly decreased. Limited by sensor performance, noise reduction intervenes early and the loss of detail is severe. However, there is no problem with the color saturation, and the change is Note3. The color loss will be very obvious under the same parameters.
In view of the poor performance of the previous work, the paper parameters of Charm Blue Note 5 remain unchanged, so there was no expectation. After getting started, it was found that Charm Blue Note 5 made great progress in white balance and color reproduction, and the overall perception was significantly improved. Unfortunately, the optical image stabilization could not be decentralized, the aperture was small, and the usability of photos in low light conditions was still very low.
Official claims that it will take 90 minutes to fully recharge, but the first few recharges after the new machine arrives are very fast, from 10% to over 95% in one hour. Calculated according to 4000mAh battery capacity, the average charging power is higher than many flagship models, obviously not normal.
Under normal circumstances, starting from 11% of the remaining charge to start the screen charge, 1 hour can be charged 70% of electricity, 30 minutes can charge 38% of the battery, charging speed than the charm blue Note3 has a 50 ~ 60% increase. The maximum temperature during charging is 33 degrees, and fever is not serious.
The battery capacity is reduced by 100mAh (less than 3%) compared with the previous generation, and basically no impact on battery life. The measured station B watches a TGT power consumption 9% (40% brightness 40% volume open barrage), and the king glory for 1 hour Power consumption is 17%. Mild use for two days, moderate use of support for a whole day is not a problem.
advantage:
1 metal integration body, the overall texture greatly improved
2 excellent battery life, peak 18W fast charge
3. Excellent system experience
Disadvantages:
1. Out put sound quality poor, three election two card slot
2. The performance of Helio P10 game is low
3. Camera dark light imaging effect is poor
At present, Charm Blue Note5 is priced at 1009 and the 32G version is priced at 1099. This price model is generally equipped with X20, Xiaolong 625, Meizu's "polishing" process is superb, will not change the fact that the performance was whipped. However, the Thousand Yuan Machine has always been a product that needs to make a trade-off, leaving aside stagnant performance, Charm Blue Note5 is still a good, good-looking thousand Yuan machine. Judging from the current difficulty in finding a machine, the market has also given full recognition to this new product. What is more important than sales?
2016 was a complex and changeable year. MediaTek was still on the way to cry for money and Meizu was making profits in the process of polishing the P10. Many manufacturers still struggled to survive on the brink of survival. Under the fierce competition situation, perhaps we will no longer see the “beautiful and beautiful†Meizu, but we hope that in 2017 Meizu can open up a little conference and put more thoughts on enhancing the competitiveness of products.
