Meizu
released three new models last year, they get good grades. Now just pass six
months, Meizu released a brand new product: M2 note.
The
little dot home button was disappear, it change to innovative mBack button, dormant
SmartBar, new color. Be the first smartphone of Meizu this year, these change
let Meizu M2 note more meaningful.
Passed
six months, Meizu released brand new smartphone M2 note, It is very active in
website, especial it add grey color this series. Meizu M2 note is upgraded from
M1 note, actually the hardware upgraded was not obvious, screen is 5.5 inch
1080P resolution, configuration used
1.3GHz MTK6753 Octa core CUP+Mali-T720, 2G RAM+16G ROM, Front camera: 5.0MP,
Back camera: 13.0MP, it look good. It is Flyme 4.5 OS base on Android 5.1, Upgraded
version is more than can be said to be the improved version, exactly how its
experience?
Appearance:
This
time Meizu M2 note still keep the MX series classical design in package. It
look like open a beautiful book, the white box has printed on “ meizu note2”
logo.
Actually
I have idea, even if the phone box is small, if it can design the box as the
book size, it will be better, right?
About
accessories, it is as always, Micro USB data cable, charger, warranty card.
Meizu M2 note still keep the Meizu design style, front design except the
new mBack button, others are the same as Meizu M1 note, Dimensions control in 150.9x75.2x8.7mm,
Compare with Meizu M1 note: 150.7x75.2x8.9mm, it seem to thinner and wider.
Meizu M2 note also continuing the consistent standards of Meizu, it is with super
narrow bezel design. Of course, it can not compare with MX series of Meizu. But
it is narrower than Huawei Honor 4X which I am using. Screen ratio reached
73.49%, Meizu M2 note 3.36mm frame is better than other phones.
The
top of screen are traditional things, 5.0MP front camera, headset, distance
with the light sensor.
Although Meizu M2 note keep design element of Meizu, but it also make revolutionary
change, cancel Meizu classical circular ring home button, Instead of is brand
new mBack Physical keys. This mBack button have good performance, the button slightly
concave in the panel, and it is a capacitance button with touch function,
button edge used CNC corner cut metal ring for decorate. Overall key touch is very
comfortable.
MeizuM2 note do not used Aviation aluminum alloy material of Meizu MX series,
Instead of, it used RIMOWA. On the whole, it is the same as Meizu M1 note, used
the similar texture as iPhone 5C, The best of this texture is not expensive but
with strength and mitigated on the weight. So the phone body only have 149g
weight.
In
addition to the popular colors before, also add grey color which Meizu fans
look forward to, Grey color is grind arenaceous feel, a little bit more mature
business, and grind arenaceous qualitative have great advantage for scratch-resistant
and Anti-Fingerprints.
Miezu
gave up the color style which front black back white(panda color), instead of,
used black grey color for back cover. But the most of design element is similar
as MX3.
At
the same time, change the original bright face to Grind arenaceous matte face.
Although
touch feel is plastic similar as frame, but the hold feeling will not surprise
cause of the difference texture.
Dull
polish back cover make the phone have strongly hand feeling, the touch feeling
also better than MX3, skid resistance is also quite good, The fingerprint have
good resolution.
The
top of Meizu M2 note is 3.5mm earphone jack and the noise reduction microphone.
Meizu
M1 note do not put power button on the top of the phone before, In hardware, it
is not a friendly design, one hand to off the screen is very inconvenience, but
M2 note put the power button on the left of the phone, it make more convenience
for one hand operation. On the left of the phone, no only have power button,
but also have volume button, the feedback is so far so good, press feeling is
more tight than M1 note, On the light of the phone do not design any button or
port.
On
the bottom of the phone from left to right is phone microphone, Micro USB port
and phone loud speaker. The main point is Meizu M2 note design the loud speaker
on the bottom of the phone, This design is good for put the voice outside, at
the same time ensure will have stop or effect the voice when the phone put on
the table or hold in hand.
The back of the phone have back camera and flash light, this time Meizu M2 note used steady 13.0MP camera as last generation, It also has the current popular double-color temperature flash light. Camera design difference between with the dream series is the camera do not have metal frame, protection is not good of it, Cost should be considered.
On the buttom of the back cover have some basic information, it have a obvious
Meizu Logo, Under the “Meizu” logo have a line of small print “Designde by
Meizu Made in China”, do not have other redundant elements, it look simple and
natural.
MeizuM2 note still used integration design, it give up the back cover open design
which MX series used before, Meizu M2 note only have one sim card slot, but it
uses dual sim dual standby dual nano-Sim card design, and the one of sim card
slot also can use for micro SD card.
As
I said, Meizu M2 note is integration design, the back cover is not removable,
Meizu this time increase the capacity of the battery, Battery capacity to 3100
mAh, compare with other meizu phones, it have dramatically improved, as long
you do not heavy to use it, A day of life can fully support.
System:
No
matter manufacturers or user, only focus hardware is not enough. Now manufacturers
more attention to rom develop, especially make the rom with user experience. In
the past manufacturers only make a little of modification on the original
system, the most of change the UI interface. Now manufacturers will hardware +
software to set up their brand and products. This time Meizu M2 note released
with Flyme 4.5, what is the difference between with before firmware, let us check
it!
Meizu M2 note is used their own Flyme system, This system come with
4.5(base on Android 5.0), Meizu M2 note just carried out the update version
base on Android 5.0， update with the details. The
first impressions is on the interface and interaction become more delicate, the
details look more simple, icon design and interface element look more applanation.
Look from the colour of the interface, you can see Flyme 4.5 still rich and
colorful, full of vitality.
This
time Flyme 4.5 add immersive status bar, although Android 4.4 has supported
this character, but it still need the application to adaptive it, Now it still
have more app still not adaptive, But Flyme 4.5 can finally forced open
immersion notification bar. It mean our phones can make the color of the status
bar along with application similar as iPhone, it is a great improve.
This time Flyme 4.5 have new improve with suspension dynamic effect of
the design, increase the trackball of interface setting, It can process action
open, close or change.
Recently
have some manufacturers also push out the new system, No matter what system IU
or interactive design, every manufacturers have their own individuality,
Although Flyme 4.5 only change a little, but it is still better than others.
Flyme
4.5 no only beautiful, practical, but also have more rich color, more unified
interface.
Performance:
MeizuM2 note used the highest frequency 1.3GHz MTK6753 octa core CPU, carry Mali-T720
GPU and 2GB RAM, maximum extent to ensure the performance of the hardware. Base
on the 28nm LPM manufacturing process, Has eight Cortex-A53 core, Compare with
Meizu M1 note GPU 1.7GHz, frequency is reduced.
Although
score can not represent the user experience of the phone, but the phone with
not high score is difficult to be a good smartphone, Antutu score reached 30456
high score, Under this hardware, the phone almost smooth running, ex. <Riptide
GP> game can running good, 2D and 3D graphics performance effects are good,
picture is smooth.
In
the pass Meizu product do not have good endurance of batter, but Meizu M2 note
choice MTK platform. Everyone know about MTK CPU have excellent expression on optimization
of power consumption, And this time Meizu M2 note used 3100mAh battery.
After
used the phone on week, I can sure the battery of Meizu M2 note normally can
use one day.
Especially
MT6753 integrated with 4g LTE baseband, it can support WCDMA 4G network.
MeizuM2 note screen used 5.5 inch 1920*1080 DPI screen, but not use corning glass,
instead of used other manufacturers’ tempered glass, The degree of
scratch-resistant still need some time to check it. But contrast and color
gamut is no bad, Display effect is gorgeous fully, viewing angle is good.
Camera:
MeizuM2 note besides technology and hardware, camera is also a main point.
MeizuM2 note rear camera used 13.0MP Samsung CMOS camera, but not mainstream’s Sony
IMX series, sensor size reached 1/3.06, aperture is F/2.2, camera used gorilla
third generation lens protection glass, with double color temperature flash
light.
Front
camera is 5.0MP, aperture is F/2.0, 69 degree wide Angle, provide Beauty Mode.
Overall
looks very good on the configuration, what is the actually effect? Let us check
it below.
Under
the condition of weak light, Meizu M2 note is good than I imagined of the picture
details, but overall picture brightness is ok, Noise control are also need to
strengthen.
Conclusion:
MeizuM2 note is revolution of Meizu product, cancel the little doc, the first model
support SD card, especial used mBack button, with these new elements, only sell
193.99 USD. It is good news for Meizu Fans.
