At the same time as a variety of Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 mobile phone price reduction promotions, older flagship mobile phones have also begun to clear the promotion, equipped with Snapdragon 865 chips Meizu 17 price fell below 2000 yuan, the price after the entry-level discount is 1999 yuan.
Is it worth buying a flagship phone from more than two years ago for less than 2,000 yuan? After seeing the news of Meizu 17's price reduction, many netizens have similar questions. Purely from the price point of view, the flagship mobile phone two years ago was only 1999 yuan, and the price was very cost-effective. However, can the Snapdragon 865 chip be used?
Can Snapdragon 865 Sex work?
Judging from the rhythm of product upgrades, the Snapdragon 865 chip is a bit outdated. You know, Snapdragon 865 is a chip released in December 2019, which has been on the market for more than two years. After this, Qualcomm has released three chips such as Snapdragon 865 Plus, Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 888 Plus.
Counting the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip released last year, the Snapdragon 865 chip is more than 3 generations behind. However, from the perspective of performance and manufacturing process, the Snapdragon 865 chip is not backward, and the performance is completely sufficient. Judging from the performance ranking of AnTu Rabbit, the running score of Meizu 17 is more than 600,000; The mobile phone equipped with the Snapdragon 778G chip has only about 520,000 points.
As we all know, this year's mid- and high-end mobile phones are equipped with Snapdragon 778G chips. Meizu 17, equipped with Snapdragon 865 chip, has a running score of more than 600,000, and its performance is not bad. What's more, many mobile phones are equipped with Snapdragon 768G, which can still smoothly play games such as King of Glory. From this point of view, the lack of performance of the Snapdragon 865 is a false proposition.
Meizu 17 is the flagship phone
Of course, compared with flagship chips such as snapdragon 8 Gen1 and Snapdragon 888, the performance of snapdragon 865 is indeed lagging behind. One point that cannot be ignored is that the other configurations of Meizu 17, which have been listed for more than two years, are quite strong, and the core configuration and the Snapdragon 8 Gen flagship mobile phone can be described as indistinguishable.
In addition, the Meizu 17 series comes standard with LPDDR4X memory and UFS 3.1 flash memory. From the perspective of core configuration, many mid- and high-end models this year are still using lower specifications of flash memory, and meizu 17 released two years ago is not bad. Moreover, Meizu 17 has a 6.6-inch OLED screen, supports 90Hz refresh rate, and is equipped with an off-screen fingerprint recognition system. Although it is a hole-in-the-hole screen, the front camera opening is very small and will not destroy the display of content. Whether it is brightness or color vividness, the Meizu 17 screen is very outstanding, comparable to this year's flagship mobile phone.
In terms of taking pictures, the rear 64 million pixel quad camera, daily photography is completely no problem. With the blessing of mature algorithms, the imaging quality under Meizu 17 low light is also very strong, not worse than the flagship mobile phone. More importantly, many flagship phones this year have castrated the rear camera module, while the rear camera configuration of meizu 17 has not shrunk.
In terms of battery life, the built-in 4500mAh battery supports 30W wired fast charging. In terms of details, the full-featured NFC, as well as wifi6, are also standard in the entire series. I have to say that the Meizu 17 configuration is still very strong.
Purchase suggestion: Although Meizu 17 has been listed for more than two years, the price after the discount is very good. From the performance point of view, the Performance of Snapdragon 865 is somewhat backward, which is completely enough for most users. Moreover, Wifi6, 5G and multi-function NFC are all fully equipped, which is more powerful than the mid-range mobile phone configuration of more than 2,000 yuan, and it is very suitable to start now.
