In the mobile phone circle, there are several pairs of partners who love and kill each other.
The pair that The brother remembers the most is red rice and charm blue.
(Left: Charm Blue 5s, Right: RedMi 4X)
After all, six or seven years ago, they could be seen in the streets and alleys.
Generally at a price of about 1,000 yuan, and a good design and configuration, who doesn't love it.
For the year when the cottage machine was rampant, it can be said that it was a dimensionality reduction blow.
Unfortunately, these two brothers finally embarked on a completely different path.
After Redmi changed its name to Redmi, it is replacing the position of the original Xiaomi digital mobile phone and becoming a cost-effective model of Xiaomi, and now the sales are still good.
And Charm Blue, which just announced that the total sales reached 50 million units in 2018, was unexpectedly cut in 2019, and the ace Note series was also incorporated into Meizu.
Later, the story of Meizu, the machine brother will not say more, and the friends will also see it in their eyes...
Therefore, in these years, people continue to shout "Charm Blue mobile phone is coming back", in fact, the subtext is also to hope that Meizu can make a comeback.
Looking forward to the stars and hoping for the moon, today they are finally looking forward to the new products of the charm blue mobile phone:
Charm Blue 10
Although it has been previewed before, at the last moment of today's Meizu conference, when the PPT switched to the mblu (charm blue) page, the bullet screen and comment area were still boiling.
Many people call it "Ye Qing Hui".
After all, the last generation of magic blue mobile phones is still the charm blue 6T released in 2018.
In the blink of an eye, four years have passed.
Spicy, the return of this charm blue mobile phone, what is it?
There is a bit of high energy in the front, and the machine brother suggests that everyone take a small bench and sit down.
On the front of the Charm Blue 10, it is a large 6.52-inch LCD screen. Today, when the digging screen is prevalent, seeing a water drop screen again, it can only be said that it is "very personal".
The brother feels that using LCD is not a problem, after all, there are still people who shout "LCD is never a slave" every day.
But the resolution of this screen is really a bit "not forgetting the original intention": 1600×720.
You know, the first generation of charm blue mobile phones released 7 years ago, the screen resolution is 1280x768.
7 years have passed, and this screen parameter has hardly changed. Isn't this not the original intention?
Today's netizen controversy is also at this point.
The brother said that everyone blamed Meizu.
I have verified that before the charm blue digital series 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, the screen is all 720P.
Moreover, the direct competition with the charm blue 10 is the Redmi 9A of the old friend Redmi.
It is also 720P resolution, but also a waterdrop screen, but also a size of 6.5 inches.

Good guys, it's like going back to when they were hot and tit-for-tat.
After looking at the front of the charm blue 10, let's take a look at the back, maybe the fans will find a sense of loss of familiarity.
This is the same as the back design of the Meizu 18 series.
However, this is also the old tradition of Meizu, and the family face design of Meizu was not less ridiculed by everyone.
From the flagship machine to the hundred-dollar machine, it looks almost the same, making people stupid and confused.
So from a certain point of view, this is another time not to forget the original intention.
The machine brother initially saw the design of the rear three cameras of the charm blue 10, and also sighed that meizu this wave has a bit of conscience, and the hundred yuan machine also has so many cameras?
After all, the redmi 9A mentioned above only has a 13 million main camera on the back.
The results were carefully investigated and found that the three cameras of the Charm Blue 10 were:
48MP main camera
+
2MP macro
2MP auxiliary lens
The last two, it doesn't seem to be very useful?
The more useful use scenarios I can relate to may be to take it out and show my mobile phone camera more...
After looking at the appearance, let's take a look at the "core" inside.
Before today, the processors used in the charm blue mobile phone were basically mediatek's entry-level chips (Samsung was used later), so the stem of mediatek was born for ten thousand years.
Time has passed, and now MediaTek's processor has been supported and recognized by everyone. Even many netizens will run to MediaTek Weibo @ Meizu.
So the return of the charm blue 10, is there any surprise?
What makes the machine brother also a little surprised is that The charm blue chose not the old friend MediaTek this time, but our domestic Tiger Ben T310 processor.
The unfortunate thing about this processor may be that it only supports 4G, but does not support 5G.
The charm blue 10 introduced above seems to be really decent, not like the dragon slayer of that year. Is there no bright spot in this charm blue 10?
Of course not!
At the press conference, there was a page of PPT, and the brother felt that the charm blue 10 was going to win.
Infrared remote control
3.5mm headphone jack
Up to 256GB TF card expansion
……
Not to mention, now in 2022, these things seem to be "extraterrestrial technology".
In addition, the Charm Blue 10 is also stuffed with a large battery of 5000mAh.
The machine brother checked, which is also the current charm blue digital series, the largest battery capacity.
However, when I see that the Redmi 9A is also a 5000mAh battery, I feel that history is always strikingly similar, or the red and blue war where you make a move and I make a move.
At that time, in addition to competing with Meizu in hardware, Xiaomi and Meizu were actually competing in software.
MIUI and Flyme, one big and complete, one small and beautiful, both have their own audiences.
Therefore, these two systems are also the soul of these two brands.
This time the charm blue 10 was released, the machine brother felt that Meizu was quite careful, and specially made up a Flyme 9 lite system based on Android 11.
After all, the configuration of the current hundred yuan machine and the flagship machine is not a star and a half. If you use the same system again, you may not be able to load it.
According to today's Meizu conference, this lite version of the system is specially optimized for the charm blue mobile phone, focusing on lightweight.
But many of the new features of Flyme 9, like OneMind 5.0, privacy security, and family guard, have been retained.
Perhaps Meizu still attaches great importance to the Flyme experience to this day.
Finally, there is the price link.
Speaking of this, the fans estimate that they can see that the charm blue 10 is a hundred yuan machine configuration without compromise, so the price is estimated not to be too expensive.
I've sorted out the prices of the previous generations of The Charm Blue Digital Series:
Charm Blue 1: 699 yuan
Charm Blue 2: 599 yuan
Charm Blue 3: 599 yuan
Charm Blue 5: 699 yuan
Charm Blue 6: 699 yuan
(Charm Blue 1)
The brother did not expect that the biggest surprise of the return of the charm blue 10 after many years was the price: 699 yuan.
4GB+64GB：699元
4GB+128GB：799元
6GB+128GB：899元
This is really not forgotten, 7 years later, the same price as the first generation.
To tell you the truth, although the current charm blue official website, although it is still under the banner of "youth good products", but this charm blue 10, how to look like it is for young people.
From the big screen, big battery, the price is cheap enough, it seems to be the market for the elderly machine.
It is no wonder that many netizens today are saying that now the charm blue is already a "good product for the elderly".
However, the charm blue 10 is only the first mobile phone to return to the charm blue, the peak of the charm blue, the product line is also a variety of: Note, Metal, S, E, X...
Next, it is estimated that there will be a large wave of higher configuration mobile phones.
In fact, the machine brother thinks that Meizu is also very good, starting from the basic model again.
Down-to-earth, better than anything.
The machine brother only heard the charm friends around him say today: The Meizu in recent years is really heart-wrenching.
Started selling iPhone accessories, selling lights, selling clothes, selling dolls...
(Meizu made accessories for iPhone)
Seeing meizu working so hard to survive, the machine brother certainly hopes that it can make a comeback.
I just hope that Meizu can learn a lesson and stop failing the hearts of many Meizu friends.
