Preface:
The market has changed a lot in the past two years, and the technology has changed even more. Meizu's previous pride in the "only the extreme" screen choice, in today's view, has also become a basic threshold for flagships to compete for. Of course, Meizu still chose to stick to its own style, especially the Meizu 20 series and Meizu 21 series of works on the "unbounded version", which is very distinct and sincere. Now, the new Meizu Lucky series of mobile phones has debuted, showing another realistic rebirth of Nirvana with the confidence of an all-round AI partner, so that people who are "unwilling to be extraordinary" can see the Meizu that "dares to be extraordinary", and appreciate the "tenacity of innovation" and "ruthlessness of solitude" that it insisted on at the beginning.
Niche brands. If this word is used elsewhere, it may not sound good, but in Meizu, a brand with natural arrogance, "niche brand" represents the praise of uninhibited and unyielding. It is also for this reason that people who love Meizu love it to the core. In other words, although there is no mark of the founder of "perfectionism" back then, the gene of "perfectionism" is still there.
As an all-round AI mobile phone positioned at 2000 yuan, Meizu Lucky 08's product strength shaping point is not only to become an "AI partner" for many of us, but also a mobile phone benchmark that emphasizes both appearance and practicality, with more than 100 practical and easy-to-use AI functions, bringing a convenient and efficient AI intelligent use experience to the target group at this price.
Meizu said that Lucky itself means lucky, and it hopes to integrate luck into mobile phones and bring lucky blessings to each of us. The name of the first model in this series, the Lucky 08, is inspired by Meizu's first named satellite "Lucky Star" - the third orbit 08 satellite of the space-time Daoyu-Geely Future Constellation. So everything is very beautiful from the beginning.
Editor's note: In the past two years, everyone has witnessed the rapid development of AI technology, whether it is the consumer market or enterprise applications, AI technology has shown great potential. From image-to-text to image generation, from smart work and life planning to trip management, AI can complete tasks in just a few minutes, far more efficient and practical than traditional manual methods. From following the trend to guiding the trend, Meizu, a personalized brand of "small and strong, small and beautiful", has obviously had its own plan for a long time. We still remember that Meizu announced at the beginning of 2024 that it would terminate the research and development of traditional mobile phones, and instead devote itself to the AI field, officially launching the "full-stack AI" strategy. The Meizu 21 Pro and Meizu 21 Note, which followed, are the products of this new concept. Today's new Meizu Lucky series is, of course, a masterpiece that consolidates this concept.
01
Little red dot, solve the big pain point and open the AI world with one click
In response to the pain points of many of us who are not convenient enough to use AI functions, Meizu Lucky 08 specially customizes multi-functional AI buttons to bring us a new operating experience. The multi-functional AI button has the characteristics of intuitive and efficient, simplified operation steps, and one-click activation of preset functions, which not only improves the convenience of mobile phone operation, but also brings more convenience to our daily life and work.
According to Meizu's definition, this red physical AI button is the power button and a shortcut to open AI applications, and you can experience practical and easy-to-use AI functions with double clicks, such as one-click search, one-click song recognition, and one-click audio microphone...... A variety of custom use cases are also included. Of course, many operations can only be further experienced after OTA upgrades in the future, and we can only click on them so far.
At the same time, based on the excellent reputation and powerful Flyme AIOS operating system, Meizu Lucky 08 is equipped with more than 100 flagship-level practical and easy-to-use AI functions. Among them, the "AI search" mentioned above allows us to search for information without clicking on the page, and can intuitively and efficiently display the results and display the source of information, allowing us to search one step faster. "AI Search" is actually divided into two ways, one is to enable Aicy search, and the other is AI instant circle search, open the AI search on the desktop, and retrieve information. Of course, its functions are more than these, enter the small house in the upper right corner, you can see that there are many functions, we want to know about today's news, weather, games, important news, you can.
Here we especially like the "circle and search", which can directly circle the image and jump to the e-commerce platform to search for the same product, saving us time and energy to find the favorite items, and has another AI convenience experience of synchronous price comparison.
As for the "AI call assistant", it is an AI sub-project that everyone is currently focusing on, and Meizu has also made its own characteristics. Lucky 08's fully automated response can help us understand the context and make accurate responses when it is inconvenient for us to answer the phone. In addition, the AI call semi-automatic answering mode is also very useful, and its AI generates a three-choice reply based on contextual understanding, and accurately hits the answer we want. As for the "AI Scene Assistant" function, it can also remind or help us complete preset actions according to the preset scene. For example, swiping Douyin timeout reminder, intelligent reminder to send and receive express delivery, etc. At present, Meizu Lucky 08 has supported 51 preset scenes, and we can also add custom scenes according to our own needs.
In terms of text, Meizu Lucky 08 has added an AI entrance to its own notes, which can generate and write articles, meeting processes, make plans, social copywriting, and summarize, continue, correct, translate and other operations on existing content.
In addition, based on AI's effective support for the Flyme AIOS operating system, the Meizu Lucky 08 has passed the 48-month fluency test and has shown excellent stable performance. Whether it's for everyday use or multitasking, the phone always runs smoothly without stuttering or dropping frames.
02
Star Trail aesthetics, inspired by the universe
As we all know, Meizu is famous for its paranoia about design, and it gave up all kinds of special-shaped full screens just for the insistence of "narrow forehead", which is respectable enough in the eyes of fans. It should be said that Meizu is not unwilling to change, but it needs very sufficient (or imminent) objective reasons. In addition, whether it is 2023 or 2024, it is very thoughtful and courageous to dare to use "right angles and direct faces" to build the flagship of the whole series. In fact, it has made a very clear difference in the design idea, not to grandstand, but to prove to everyone that Meizu's understanding of beauty is back.
As we mentioned, the Meizu Lucky 08 extends from the meaning of the internal code name "Venus" (that is, Venus, one of the eight planets in the solar system), draws design inspiration from the cosmic planets and star orbit movements, deeply explores and refines the "star track technology aesthetics", and imparts the "star track technology aesthetics" to the back design of the fuselage. Therefore, while ensuring that the space between sensors, lenses, and flashes on the back of the Meizu Lucky 08 fuselage is reasonable, Meizu has designed a multi-track arrangement and combination between the stars.
TIPS
Venus itself has two meanings. One is the name of the goddess of beauty in ancient Roman mythology, and the other is the name of Venus in the solar system. But no matter what kind of origin the idea is, the purpose is to refine and unique, and to accommodate it in the category of high-end aesthetics.
In this way, in the DECO area, the main camera, auxiliary camera, and diffuser have different height differences, and the design of the ring around the main camera is suspended in the entire circular space, creating a unique sense of spatial hierarchy. In terms of detail design, the three-dimensional relief texture is meticulously crafted, and on top of the 4 coaxial rings, more than 1,000 concentric starlight textures are layered and diffused, with a constantly changing shining effect under different lights.
We see that Lucky 08's "Super Sensing Star Pupil Eye", that is, the main camera is like a star pupil staring at the universe, with super perception and ultra-high pixel subconscious communication; More than 1,000 concentric starlight textures are spread in layers, as if the shining stars radiate outward from the center; As for the gravitational star ring structure, the main camera is used as the visual axis, so that the secondary camera, such as satellites, is arranged around the main camera. We also noticed that the entire DECO area uses watch-grade precision craftsmanship, where every detail has been polished repeatedly, which is rare for a model in its price range.
This is also "from the design concept to the final landing, during which 39 design revisions, 87 proofing and process adjustments were made, and finally the Meizu Lucky 08 has the only lens design with a sense of hierarchy and space in the industry." ".
In terms of details, the Lucky 08 body achieves a comfortable feel of dual 2.5D micro-arcs in the front and rear, which not only presents a visually elegant streamline, but also brings an unparalleled comfortable grip, and every touch is as smooth as silk
It is worth mentioning that, at the same time, taking into account Meizu's love for white front panels, Meizu still continues the classic style of white panels in Meizu Lucky 08. The design of the white front panel is not only a commitment to Meizu's tradition, but also an affectionate response to the majority of Meizu friends.
03
It also set a high standard for the screen at the same level
In order to bring better screen visuals to target users, Meizu Lucky 08 uses a 6.78-inch 8T LTPO 1.5K resolution eye-friendly straight screen, with a 450PPI that surpasses the retina display standard, a global excitation brightness of 1600nits, and a peak brightness of 5000 nits.
The maximum 144Hz high refresh rate and the blessing of 1-120Hz adaptive high brush technology allow us to dynamically adjust the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the display content. With the fully optimized AI full-link touch technology, the response speed is increased by 50%, and the super-resolution touch experience is 10 times higher, and the fine touch resolution is enhanced to achieve a more accurate and sensitive operation experience.
The Meizu Lucky 08 also has low-brightness 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming technology, and has passed the Meizu Nuran Eye Protection and SGS Low Blue Light Flicker-free certification (the new U8 low-power eye-protecting light-emitting material not only reduces the blue light damage of the screen to the eyes and protects the user's eyesight, but also effectively reduces the energy consumption of the screen, so that the comfort of the eyes has been significantly improved). This allows the mobile phone to provide a smooth experience while effectively reducing our eye fatigue, so that we can maintain a comfortable experience in the process of using the mobile phone for a long time (Meizu has transferred the same "Meizu Eye Protection" technology of the 21 Note to the Lucky 08, according to the new standard of medical and engineering integration of eye care, combined with human eye health, physical and mental health and human factors engineering elements, to create a more eye-friendly Chinese screen for all ages). This makes a lot of sense for the student user group it focuses on.
Not only that, the Meizu Lucky 08 also uses global wet hand touch technology, which has passed rigorous multi-scene tests, including raindrops, wet hands, hand sweat, and splashes in daily life, which not only makes the phone reliable and practical, but also allows us to experience more fun and convenient experience during use. This feature is an effective guarantee for users who use Lucky 08 as a productivity tool, such as takeaway guys and couriers.
In addition, in terms of the appearance of the front screen, the front bezel of the Meizu Lucky 08 adopts a 1.75mm ultra-narrow physical quad equilateral design and G3 curvature connection, with an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio of 93.55%, bringing us the ultimate visual effect and user experience. It should be emphasized that the width of the bezel of the previous Meizu 21 was 1.74mm, which was the existence that really refreshed the world's narrowest quadrulateral equilateral record at that time, literally, without any moisture. The beauty of the Lucky 08 screen, in such a comparison, also shows Meizu's sincerity.
04
The performance is fully applicable, and Meizu's bottom line does not need to be questioned
Meizu is well aware that it must adhere to the bottom line of "equal performance". Compared with China's mobile phone market ten years ago, today's situation has reached the point of blood, and you know how many niche brands have disappeared over the years. Although these brands that have disappeared or have nearly disappeared have their own subjective reasons, the result is the same. Meizu, which is in its twenties, has never denied that it is a niche brand in the mobile phone circle, whether it is "small and beautiful" or "tenacious survival", its product strategy is positive and distinctive - but think about it carefully, accustomed to the continuous firepower output of the "machine sea factory", Meizu has always been able to deal with it calmly, produce high-quality products every year, and keep its reputation steadily, which is a test of skill in itself. If you really want to look for similar examples, no, only one.
Therefore, from the heart of Meizu, it also reminds itself to "walk on thin ice" and "work hard", and must stick to its bottom line and "don't get carried away for a while". Even a model like the Lucky series that doesn't overemphasize performance needs to be considered.
We see that in terms of performance, based on the second-generation Snapdragon 7s mobile platform and up to 12GB+512GB of RAM, with the 48-month fluency test, the Meizu Lucky 08 shows a very efficient user experience, whether it is daily use or multitasking, the phone always maintains smooth operation (the measured Antutu score is more than 600,000 points). At the same time, the Meizu Lucky 08 uses AI memory fusion technology to intelligently integrate memory resources and exchange memory for infrequently used applications to the storage area to achieve efficient use of system resources. With the OneMind Intelligent Thinking Engine, it intelligently allocates CPU, memory, and other resources according to our usage habits and the needs of current applications to achieve a smoother user experience.
05
On the topic of battery life, Meizu has a great answer
Do you remember that at the end of last year, the Meizu 21 standard version announced a battery capacity of 4800mAh before the press conference, and claimed that "with OneMind 10.5 and Samsung's OLED energy-saving screen, it can reach 8.2 hours under the test of the full-power limit battery life model, which is better than the 7.4-hour battery life performance of 5100mAh on the same platform of competitors." This kind of direct "face opening" operation, without real skills, you dare not play. The Meizu 21 Note, equipped with a 5500mAh battery and One Mind intelligent engine, has become one of the best mobile phones in the same class of flagships with the best comprehensive battery life through Flyme's scientific performance scheduling.
Therefore, Meizu has always had its own great answer to the matter of battery life. Naturally, the same is true for Lucky 08.
The Meizu Lucky 08 has a built-in 6000mAh high-density durable battery (the largest capacity of Meizu mobile phones at present), considering its screen energy-saving effect and 4nm low-power processor platform, the whole machine is fully capable of supporting up to 42.4 hours of talk time, which can achieve the battery life of "one full charge, two days worry-free, and three days limit". In other words, whether it is a call, video or game, Lucky 08 can meet our needs for long-term use. In addition, through AI technology to optimize battery life, Meizu Lucky 08 can intelligently analyze our usage habits and application needs, allocate power appropriately, help extend battery life, and reduce energy consumption in daily use, ensuring that power is used efficiently.
Of course, based on positioning reasons, the wireless charging module is definitely not, and the 33W wired charging power is also slightly lower. On the whole, whether to choose large-capacity and long-lasting or high-power fast charging is a multiple-choice question for a 2000 yuan model, and Meizu gave a most balanced answer, which is also a good thing.
06
A thoughtful interpretation of the all-round applicability
In terms of applicability, the Meizu Lucky 08 is very thoughtful. First of all, through dual-band GPS and tri-band Beidou precise positioning, combined with unbounded antenna system 2.0 and mSmart Net technology, the navigation and positioning accuracy and signal stability of mobile phones can be significantly improved.
TIPS
By optimizing the center antenna layout and signal management, the Meizu Lucky 08 enhances the signal stability when holding the phone horizontally, reducing the signal blind spots caused by hand occlusion or device direction changes, ensuring that no matter how we operate the device, we can maintain a stable network connection.
Taking into account the special needs of outdoor workers, Meizu Lucky 08 has specially designed and developed a new "outdoor work mode", which brings a comprehensive and enhanced user experience, including enhanced network signal, enhanced screen brightness, automatic hands-free answering, and increased order grabbing speed, which can help outdoor workers such as food delivery workers, couriers, and ride-hailing drivers complete their work tasks more efficiently and quickly.
In terms of images, Meizu Lucky 08 uses a 100 million pixel ultra-clear outsole main camera (100 million pixels 1/1.67-inch ultra-clear outsole, so that every frame can capture rich details and colors, whether it is the vast panorama of magnificent mountains and rivers, or the fine structure of the microscopic world, all of which are vividly presented to us), providing us with greater output space for later cropping and editing.
In terms of style, Meizu Lucky 08's 100 million main camera cooperates with Aicy's image algorithm, which can recognize multiple scenes such as portraits, night scenes, blue sky, food, cats and dogs every time the shutter is taken, and the AI algorithm is used to make the photos more pleasing to the eye in style, while not appearing oversaturated. However, at the 2x focal length, cropping is noticeable and sharpness is noticeable, which is generally in line with the image level expected at this price point.
Another very important design point is the core competitiveness of the Meizu Lucky 08 to become an outstanding "productivity tool". That is, it is equipped with a new "Meizu Titan Shield Architecture", which uses high-strength composite materials inside the fuselage, which makes the mobile phone more structurally strong and brings a comprehensive upgrade of durability for users who work outdoors for a long time. Judging from the data, Meizu Lucky has passed 500 drum tests, 10,000 slight drop tests, 20,000 USB plugging and unplugging tests, and 200,000 key durability tests, fully demonstrating its excellent drop resistance. Whether it is an accidental drop in daily life or in more complex use scenarios, it can effectively resist impact and protect internal components from damage, so that everyone can use it with more peace of mind.
EF Review:
Compared with the Meizu digital series flagship, because of its identity and positioning, it is necessary to steadily promote "gradually find the feeling of the past", and this concern does not need to be considered at all for the new Lucky series. Appearance is based on practicality, performance is based on applicability, and all-round is based on ease of use, and the Lucky series is good enough to match its own digital flagship series and Note series from both the tactical level and the strategic level. In other words, from now on, Meizu mobile phones after returning to the mainstream market have really begun to have a matrix of "product lineup thickness and width". Thinking about this, the value of Lucky 08 is revealed today.
In addition, Meizu said, "Everyone is the champion of life", so Meizu takes every detail of life about the preferences of ordinary people into the design and experience of its products. Since the Lucky series is a product that Meizu wants to create in order to meet the needs of more users, it has a clear sense of mission from the day it was born.
We believe that at the level of 2000 yuan, Meizu Lucky 08The entry point is very accurate: under the high-value appearance, the internal hardware specifications are also excellent, 6000mAh ultra-large capacity battery, 5000nits peak brightness of the flagship eye protection straight screen, Snapdragon second-generation Snapdragon 7s, 100 million pixel ultra-clear bottom main camera, plus Meizu's unique aesthetics and the blessing of global-level AI, everything looks exciting. It's smart to notice that every detail of Meizu has its own characteristics, but it is not limited to the characteristics of a certain competitor.
Again, from smartphones, AR smart glasses, Flyme Unbounded Ecosystem, Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit operating system to the technology trend brand PANDAER, every field has the ultimate innovation and extraordinary process. Therefore, many people may not use Meizu's products, and they don't like Meizu much, but they basically respect it.
