At the end of Q1 last year, Meizu 10 quietly debuted and broke into the mobile phone market in a low-key way. This moment means a new round of expectations and challenges for Meizu and its loyal users. It has been a while since the release of the last product, the Meizu 6T, so Meizu friends are full of expectations for the Meizu 10 this time. They aspire to the Meizu 10 to be a high-performance, affordable phone, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The Meizu 10 is affordable, but the core parameters don't seem to keep up with the times, which makes us wonder if this compromise is wise.
First of all, let's understand the story behind the Meizu 10 and the product background. Meizu Technology Co., Ltd., often abbreviated as Meizu, is a well-known consumer electronics company in China, founded in 2003. Founder Huang Zhang is a well-known entrepreneur in China who founded Meizu with a passion for technology and design, as well as a belief in providing an exceptional user experience. This dedication and belief has shaped Meizu into a company with many loyal fans.
Meizu's achievements cannot be underestimated, especially among Chinese phone manufacturers. They are constantly pushing the boundaries of what they are doing, not only in the hardware space, but also in terms of software and user experience. Some of Meizu's products are highly praised in the market, as evidenced by the Meizu MX series and Meizu Blue series. The Meizu series has always been positioned as the first choice for young users, emphasizing cost-effectiveness, while also pursuing excellence in appearance and performance.
The release of the Meizu 10 was highly anticipated, as no new products have been released in the Meizu series since the Meizu 6T in 2018. Users hope that the Meizu 10 can continue to inherit the essence of the Meizu series and become a "good product for youth". However, the Meizu 10 seems to have made some sort of compromise between performance and price. The initial price of the Meizu 10 is 699 yuan, which is actually close to the limit in terms of price, and then over time, the Meizu 10 on the shelves of some third-party e-commerce platforms has even dropped to a price of 599 yuan. This price reduction strategy is the survival strategy of the Meizu 10, but we need to think about whether this compromise is worth it.
Now, let's dive into the Meizu 10's specs and performance. This mobile phone is equipped with the domestic Ziguang Zhanrui Tiger Ben T310 quad-core processor, using 12nm process technology, and the main frequency is 2GHz. In today's mobile phone market, this performance configuration can be regarded as an entry-level 4G chip. While it's strong enough to support everyday use, it may not be enough for high-performance demands. This is an obvious disadvantage of the Meizu 10, especially when compared to other phones in the same price range.
In addition, the Meizu 10 is equipped with a 6.52-inch HD+ resolution waterdrop full screen, which only supports face recognition unlocking, and the front camera is 8 million pixels. This configuration does not stand out in the market, and the choice of resolution may also disappoint users. Compared with the high-resolution screen, the display effect of the Meizu 10 is significantly inferior. This makes it not show an advantage in terms of screen display.
However, the Meizu 10 also has its highlights. It has a double-sided glass body, which is not common in phones in this price range, and this design adds a lot of points. In addition, the Meizu 10 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery that supports 10W fast charging. The battery capacity is large, which is enough to meet the needs of users for a whole day of use. In addition, the phone is also equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera, with infrared remote control, pedometer and other sensors, providing users with more functions. As a product carrying the "Meizu" brand, the Meizu 10 naturally runs the Flyme system, but it is equipped with the streamlined and optimized Flyme 9 Lite to ensure smoothness and safety.
Overall, the Meizu 10's price/performance ratio is competitive among phones in its price range. Especially in today's mobile phone market, at a price of 599 yuan, it competes with other big brands of 100-yuan machines. Although it has some shortcomings in terms of performance, it has some advantages when it comes to appearance, battery capacity, and software. For those who are on a budget but are looking for good looks and basic performance, the Meizu 10 is an option worth considering.
However, for users looking for high performance, the Meizu 10 may not be appealing enough. Especially in the current mobile phone market, performance has become an important factor for users to choose mobile phones. The processor performance of the Meizu 10 is relatively low, and it may not be able to meet the needs of high-performance applications and games. Therefore, users need to fully consider their needs before making a purchase to determine if the Meizu 10 is right for them.
Overall, the Meizu 10 is a cost-effective phone, and it has some advantages in terms of price, appearance, and battery. However, compromises in performance may limit its appeal, especially for users with high performance requirements. For users on a limited budget, the Meizu 10 is an option to consider, but users need to find a balance between performance and price. In the future, whether Meizu will be able to continue to launch more competitive products to meet the needs of different users will be a key question.
