After two years of sharpening a sword and undergoing drastic reforms, Meizu has now been renewed. Finally, the Meizu 20 series was released at the end of March, and Meizu has returned to the mobile phone market with a new attitude. In the homogeneous mobile phone market, Meizu has always been that very special existence. The special Mback button and Flyme system, as well as the mobile phone feel, are only for a better experience concept. In Meizu, which has been delayed by MediaTek for several years, the Meizu 20 series released this time did not do performance castration, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 + LPDDR5X + UFS4.0 Audio-Technica flagship configuration, full of sincerity, let's take a look.
Adhering to the consistent simple and elegant design style, the Meizu 20 outer packaging adopts a white and elegant color scheme, only the MEIZU20 logo on the front, and the small red dot in the lower right corner shows that it is particularly conspicuous, whether the fire in the kerosene's heart can be ignited. There is a nameplate sticker on the back, listing several highlights, Flyme10 boundless ecosystem, AutoPhone mobile car boundless integration; 4700mAh large-capacity 67W fast charge, 144Hz gaming-grade straight screen, ultrasonic straight screen fingerprint, and the long-awaited Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip.
STILL THAT MEIZU, PURE COLOR SCHEME, THE BACK IS NOT TOO MUCH DECORATED EXCEPT FOR THE MEIZU LOGO. The received is a Yuedong yellow color scheme, lighter and lighter than pure yellow, refreshing and bright and versatile. In addition, there are Dingsheng Qing, Pioneer Gray, love pink color matching, flexible and lively color matching, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young users positioned by Meizu. The back plate adopts AG frosted glass technology, which feels delicate and soft and natural.
Now the mobile phone photography ability is getting stronger and stronger, the number of cameras is also increasing, reasonable arrangement and layout, not only pay attention to the overall aesthetic layer, but also take into account the user's experience. Meizu has its own design language, and the camera module on the back does not converge with the domestic mobile phone design. Compared with other mobile phone manufacturers' similar circular modules on the back, the vertical arrangement is more in line with the process shape of straight-screen mobile phones. It is worth mentioning that a circle of flash is designed around the bottom camera, and the ring flash design has often been seen in Meizu mobile phones before, and the unique ID design has also been inherited.
Different from the previous digital flagship machine, Meizu 20 adopts a right-angle frame design, aluminum alloy material, golden yellow glossy metal middle frame, shining under the light, instantly raising the fuselage several levels. High-gain gaming-grade antennas are designed on the top and sides of the middle frame, and the communication signal is constantly flowing regardless of the holding position. The top is also equipped with an infrared remote control and noise-cancelling microphone, and the bottom is a SIM card slot, Type-C power connector and speaker unit.
The front of Meizu 20 is equipped with BOE's 6.55-inch flexible OLED high-end straight screen, which supports 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut and 10bit color depth. Typical brightness 500 nits, local maximum brightness 800 nits. In terms of high refresh rates, there is also a quad-band selectable refresh rate mode compatible up to 144Hz. Paired with a 480Hz touch sampling rate, the screen is responsive to touch operation. The distance between the screen and the border is only 1.57mm at its narrowest point, and the screen-to-body ratio is as high as 93.7%. Whether it is video entertainment or e-sports ranking, it has intuitive visual impact.
The middle hole at the top of the screen is the front camera, equipped with a 32-megapixel camera, F2.45 aperture, Samsung S5K3GD2 sensor, 1/2.8-inch specification, support the new generation of AWB algorithm and backlit selfie algorithm, support AI ultra-clear portrait, backlit selfie HDR, front super night scene and face recognition unlock and other functions. Although Meizu 20 is no longer a small-screen flagship, the whole machine is 7.9mm thick and weighs 190g, the overall design of the fuselage is ingenious, the weight is evenly distributed in all positions of the fuselage, and it is light and comfortable to hold.
Meizu 20 is equipped with a new generation of ultrasonic screen fingerprint recognition, the main one is fast, only 0.075 seconds, you can complete the unlocking of the mobile phone, even if it is attached with a tempered film, it will not affect the speed of unlocking. In addition to being fast, ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking is also very convenient to use, even if there are water stains on the hands, it can also achieve fast unlocking, which is also unmatched by other fingerprint recognition technologies. The Meizu 20 fingerprint recognition circle is positioned closer to the center of the screen, which is more in line with the position of the thumb when holding the hand. With Alive Live Wallpaper, silky unlocking is really cool!
In terms of performance, it is equipped with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8th generation Gen2 processor, which is also the most powerful CPU in Android mobile phones, equipped with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 flash memory, with extremely fast data reading and cache speed. Tested with the running score software, AnTuTu ran as high as 1299761 points, approaching the 1.3 million mark. Master Lu's performance evaluation 1408087 points, the top level of the proper flagship machine, and the single-core and multi-core are the first echelon of the Android camp.
The most intuitive performance of mobile phone performance is in the gaming experience. Players familiar with mobile games know that large-scale games like Genshin are the touchstone for verifying the performance of mobile phones, and the smooth game experience is more intuitive. After entering the game, the image quality is adjusted to extremely high, the frame rate is 60 frames, the highest quality enjoyment experience, daily running picture brushing tasks, wild brushing monsters, looking for treasure chests, the overall performance is very smooth. Whether it is a quick change of perspective or a fierce battle scene, there is no stuttering or serious frame drop.
Test daily tasks and running maps, the average frame rate performance is 58.9 frames, the overall frame rate performance is relatively stable, when fighting multiple bosses in the middle, frequently switch character tasks, continuously release big moves to cooperate with the blow, there will be some frame rate toggle, the intuitive game experience is not affected, it is within the acceptable range. During the game, the fuselage will also have some heat and heat dissipation, but there is no hot hand phenomenon.
Recently, in the new season, testing the honor of the king, the settings are adjusted to the highest picture quality and the highest frame rate, and it can also be stabilized at 119.9 frames, and the ultimate visual effect is presented, which is the fun of e-sports mobile games. Test Peace Elite turned on 90 frames and played a game, and the average frame rate could reach 89.8 frames. Meizu 20 is equipped with an X-axis linear motor and supports the mEngine 4.0 engine, which brings good game shock feedback in the game. Vibrating recoil feedback, short and clean, enjoy the sudden pleasure.
The Flyme10 system is upgraded to Game Mode 6.0, and the Game Assistant function will be automatically turned on when entering the game, and the game assistant can be summoned by swiping right on the top left side. Mobile phone acceleration, screen recording, screen hang-up, block incoming calls, e-sports mode, display adjustment, anti-false touch setting, notification do not disturb, online game accelerator and other settings can be adjusted. Turn on esports mode, allocate memory wisely, and block out irrelevant notifications so players can focus on esports games.
After playing e-sports games for a few days in heavy testing, I finally understood the reason why Meizu 20 abandoned the small screen. Make the fuselage larger, you can place a larger area of heat dissipation material inside the fuselage. Meizu 20 adopts 4000mm² copper alloy vapor chamber plate with 32243mm² fried large-area stone ground heat dissipation copper foil to accelerate the effective heat dissipation of the mobile phone and ensure that the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the performance flagship CPU, runs efficiently without frequency reduction. At the same time, it can also place a larger capacity battery to ensure the use of e-sports games.
Meizu 20 is equipped with a 4700mAh battery and supports 67W super flash charging. Charge when there is 1% of the remaining charge, 5 minutes to 20%, 10 minutes to 38%, 15 minutes to 51%, half an hour to 80%, 45 minutes to fully charge. In terms of battery life, daily commuting to work, listening to music and watching information news, taking a lunch break to brush short videos, going home to play games with friends, or learning new knowledge in online classes, there is more than 20% of the power in a day, and the 4700mAh power is also enough for office entertainment for a day.
In terms of rear lens, the Meizu 20 is equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-sensitive main lens, a 16-million-pixel 122° ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5-million-pixel depth-of-field lens to form a rear triple camera module. The mirror ring adopts a slightly convex process, and it can be directly smoothed when wearing a mobile phone case. The rear camera supports up to 8K video recording, with a new generation of full-scene EIS stabilization algorithm and HDR algorithm. Support night scene, portrait, filter, HDR and other functions shooting, but also support professional, panorama, time-lapse, slow motion, fun shooting, backlit selfie, streamer door opening and other functions. Make shooting easier, no longer need to be afraid of backlit and dark light environment, can be completely held. The traffic, silk flowing water, oil pastel sunset, and romantic star track can all be easily photographed, and happy hours can be captured and recorded at hand.
0.6x wide-angle, double, double, triple, ten rear lens shooting. Handheld shooting of distant scenes, unfortunately the weather in Guangzhou these days is rainy weather, in low light environment shooting long shots, Meizu 20 can also shoot clear details. It is a little blurry after ten times the magnification, but being able to capture such a distant scene is beyond the actual visual range of the human eye, which is really powerful!
Everyday shopping and seeing interesting things will capture and record, and the Meizu 20 camera's light sensitivity performance and white balance have been better reflected. Enable AI scene intelligent recognition, automatically adjust color saturation according to the shooting scene and subject, and the actual look and feel of the shooting sample and the human eye are consistent. In terms of focusing ability and capture speed, there is also a good performance, the focusing speed is fast, and you don't need to wait for the camera to snap quickly.
Meizu 20 is equipped with SMA optical image stabilization, the shooting stabilization effect is very powerful, walking at normal speed during the day to capture movies, picture stability and balance, look and feel can have a good presentation. In low-light scenes, turn on night mode, shoot samples to highly restore realistic scenes, and have excellent noise control ability. Meizu 20's camera ability can fully meet the daily life of photography, highly restored record presentation scenes, dark light night scenes deep clean and natural, the overall film production rate is relatively high, let's take a look at some daily life shooting records, samples of different scenes.
The soul of Meizu mobile phone lies in the Flyme system, which is simple and smooth, and does not come with as many applications as other manufacturers' mobile phones. And more importantly, Meizu's own application is almost without ads, the overall security is pure, and the only information flow is only in the global search that slides up, and it can also be turned off in the settings. The Flyme10 system icon continues the flat and simple style, simple and fresh, and the intuitive feeling is still as elegant and comfortable as ever.
When the mobile phone leaves the factory, it has been preset with a theme wallpaper suitable for matching colors, and the overall fit is very high, perfectly showing the Alive live wallpaper. Turn off the screen to display the aperture, brighten the screen to enlarge the animation, and then unlock the operation, the aperture magnification changes, the overall special effect animation is silky and smooth, and the clouds flow in one go. What's more, Alive Live Wallpaper does not occupy a lot of system memory like other third-party wallpapers, and lightweight operation can also reduce unnecessary power consumption.
Flyme10 in addition to sliding left and right at the top of the screen, summoning app notifications and control centers. Pull down at any position on the screen to display application notifications once, and then pull down again to display the control center, taking into account the shortcut operation of application notifications and operating system functions. The desktop adds the function of enlarging the folder, and the small folder needs to enter the folder and click to open the application. And large folders can be entered directly by clicking the application icon, and the storage is really convenient.
In addition to the existing voice, video, overview, image, and suggestion functions, Aicy Vision has also been added, which can recognize QR codes such as WeChat, Alipay, and express delivery, long press to extract text, identify key information such as numbers and URLs. Long press the screen to directly translate the language of the image, and can also automatically recognize the business card information and save it as a contact. Automatically identify ID cards and bank cards, and generate electronic scanned copies. I have used the Aicy video screen function before, disassembling the current information of the screen, automatically analyzing and recommending related applications, and also supporting zoomed in and view, which is really cool to use.
The Flyme widget feature is also a nice idea, similar to the pop-up box for web pages. From the lower corner of the screen, select the Small Window app. On the current application page, other application windows are displayed, which is suitable for applications such as notes, itinerary, contacts, etc., and can also be placed in commonly used WeChat and other communication and chat apps. When installing the application is authorized to use the small window, click and disappear, and will not disturb the main process application too much. The small window also supports gesture operation, temporary suspension of welt and other operations.
The monitoring of application authorization has also been the focus of consumer attention in recent years. Flyme 10's privacy permission management intuitively presents the camera, microphone, positioning, these three important permissions, enter the page to view the record information called by the APP within 24 hours, and can adjust the application permissions retrospectively in time. If you pay attention to personal privacy information, you can also open the private space and store contacts, apps, photos, videos, files and other information in the private space. You can also turn on incognito mode to restrict all apps from obtaining permissions such as positioning, camera, and recording. It is worth mentioning that regulatory control has also been added to the accelerometer sensor, avoiding the application startup shake to open the ad, this step of control directly fills the details, and there is no need to be afraid to open the software in the future.
Flyme 10 also hides a lot of treasure features, such as swiping on the left and right edges of the desktop, which can be quickly retrieved by initials to enter the app. When the application is switched to viewing, sensitive information applications will also be automatically displayed in a blurry manner. The flashlight of the toolbox can be adjusted for brightness. Meizu 20 can choose mBack navigation mode, the classic mBack uses virtual button mode to return, tap to return, press back to the desktop.
Support infrared remote control function, can be configured to bind TV, air conditioning equipment response model, can be directly controlled through mobile phones. Flyme 10 also adds an earthquake warning function to predict earthquake news in advance. The cross-screen interconnection function allows the computer and mobile phone to connect to the same network, and the library, videos, documents and files in the mobile phone can be directly accessed on the computer side, without the need for transmission cables, which is simple and easy to use.
Meizu 20 supports dual 5G dual SIM dual standby dual pass, and the 5G signal is always online and does not leave the network. Equipped with high-gain gaming-grade antennas, intelligent switching of multi-channel antennas. It supports mSmart 5G 3.0 and Wi-Fi 7 functions, and the download speed is accelerated, and the delay is effectively reduced. Support high-speed rail and subway intelligent enhanced communication signals, and support high-speed network connection in elevator scenarios. In the past, in the work chart, in the subway or elevator, telephone communication will always be interrupted, but now the call quality of Meizu 20 has been improved a lot, and there will be no communication interruption.
Meizu Flyme is the most comfortable system, not only no messy advertising information, but also the system interaction logic is clear, intimate humanized design of the treasure function, so that the mobile phone to use more comfortable. Meizu is still the original Meizu, in the deep performance of the vortex of public opinion, and then integrate resources to start again, phoenix nirvana reborn, Meizu 20 this time lived up to expectations. In the homogeneous mobile phone market, Meizu 20 focuses on differentiated design, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip with strong performance, Flyme10 boundless ecosystem, will definitely be able to summon back a lot of kerosene.
