Smartphone Meizu M6

Design and appearance

Maize M6 is a classic candy bar made of modern materials.In general, the design of almost all models from this manufacturer is similar, there are only minor differences. This fact is explained by the continuity that designers want to preserve. The scanner is located in front, along with a light indicator. On the sides are the volume control and a slot for SIM cards. In the pro versions, the headphone jack is at the bottom, and in the M6 ​​at the top.

The smartphone has streamlined shape with rounded edgesThis part of the visual style can be considered a tribute to fashion established by the flagship models of top vendors. The overwhelming majority of phones this year have a similar form factor.

It is difficult to present a review of the Meizu M6 without mentioning the mTouch. All current models are equipped with this feature. A distinctive feature of the button is its dual positioning, it is both sensory and physical. Here are the main functions of this button.

1. A short press unlocks the screen. If the display is activated, it will return to the main desktop (similar to the "home" button).
2. Sliding touch (touch) - back to the previous menu.
3. Long touch if the screen is active - shutdown.
4. Call the last application - swipe upwards.

Smartphone Meizu M6 is made made of plastic with innovative metallic coatingimitating aluminum coating. Users note that with tactile contact, the model feels like it is made of metal. The only thing that produces plastic is its faster heating. Also on the back there are two small strips, which can also be called innovation.

Important! The color palette will pleasantly surprise all connoisseurs of bright colors. Here and classic black, and metallic, and gold. To the already familiar colors added rich blue, this color looks the most fresh and attractive.

Dimensions M6 following:

• height - 148.2 mm;
• width - 72.8 mm;
• thickness - 8.3mm;
• weight - 143 grams.

Phone sizes are standard, they are not satisfactory. Using the model is easy and convenient. The case is relatively thin, it fits well in the palm, in a word, a great budget solution.

Screen features

Phone Meizu M6 is equipped with an improved version of the screen compared to previous models of the line. Now the device is completed IGZO-matrix from the famous and reliable supplier "Sharp". Of course, this innovation had a positive impact on picture quality.The viewing angles are wonderful, even at maximum tilt the image does not fade, only the brightness disappears slightly.

Important! Unfortunately, the display fades when exposed to direct sunlight, such is the fate of most of the budget matrices, in this field no technological miracle happened. However, the information is read even when fading.

Special mention deserves font size. Presented on the smartphone operating system, it is arranged in such a way as to minimize pixelation. Oleophobic spraying also deserves praise - it is of high quality and cannot be erased even with prolonged use. A finger without resistance slides over the surface of the screen.

In the parameters of the smartphone you can enable “eye protection” This will lead to a significant warming of the screen tones. The mode has a number of settings, gradation and schedule on and off. For those who prefer maximum individualization, the function of customizing tones will be very useful.

operating system

Characteristics of the Meizu M6 claim that out of the box, the device will work under the control of the seventh android. In the case of the company “Meizu” we are talking about a personal superstructure called Flyme version 6.2. Timely and very correct decision. Most smartphone owners from this company are looking forward to updating their models to the latest version of the operating system. In the M6, it is available initially - a pleasant surprise for the state employee.

In the new revision "Flim", in addition to cosmetic changes, there was a place for new functions. User reviews claim that the problem with errors in Russification, as well as with Russian letters (fonts) has finally been solved. Improved camera mode, optimized application for making calls, etc.

Processor, interfaces and communication protocols

The smartphone is equipped with an MTK processor. Good or bad, let everyone decide for himself, but this is a fact. Revision of the CPU MT6750, and it should be added that this is quite a productive model, which will be enough for most average user requests. In addition, this processor is not very hot, so throttling and friezes are practically excluded.

Important! The operating system smartly loads and runs smoothly, without jerks and brakes. The state-of-the-art games will not pull the budget model, but the simple casual games of the smartphone are quite on the shoulder.

In addition to standard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1, the gadget is equipped with support for fourth-generation networks. Declared compatibility with B20. Unfortunately, gaining popularity by leaps and bounds NFC in the phone is missing. Hybrid SIM card tray: either two SIM cards, or one in conjunction with a memory card, it all depends on the preferences of the owner.

Sound quality

The M6 ​​is not equipped with a separate DAC, but the music in the headphones sounds pretty good. The only thing that may not be enough for individual music lovers who are used to voluminous bass and rich guitar parts is a volume margin. The maximum volume is not impressive, but it is enough for comfortable listening of almost any music.

External speaker only one, but its volume is enough for sound notification. The conversational speaker is also one, and there are no complaints about it, the sound is clear when talking, without wheezing and disappearing.

Autonomy and charging time

Specifications indicate that the battery capacity is standard 3070 mAh. In theory, this is the golden mean, a compromise between the thickness of the gadget and its autonomy. In practice, we have 4 hours of continuous screen operation at maximum brightness.

The obvious disadvantage is the lack of fast charging option. Today, "middling" or equipped with a more capacious battery, or the above function. On average, the device lives one working day, in the evening it is best to recharge the battery. In terms of the autonomy of the gadget - solid "four" with a minus.

Camera specifications

The camera review of the new smartphone should be started with a comparison. The predecessor, M5, was significantly worse. In the case of the M6, the situation became better, the camera model was updated. True, this did not correct the situation at the root, but daily shots are now quite bearable, and some can not be distinguished from better optics. In the evening, or under artificial light, the camera literally goes blind, like most of the budget competitors. At night, there is a significant amount of noise and interference, and sharpness drops sharply.

Video shooting is available, but rather as an option for a check mark. Nothing outstanding can be said about it, the standard set of settings for this price segment. Pleasantly surprised by the front camera, able to produce quite good frames in natural light, of course.

Conclusion

The smartphone falls under the description "affordable solution».

Important! Price depends on the configuration (16gb, 32gb, 64gb). Model with a minimum set of memory on board will cost an average of 8999 p. Maximum grade will be somewhat more expensive, up to 13-14 tr. depending on the retailer.

As a result, for reasonable money, the user gets a modern model with the support of most modern functions, a convenient OS, a stylish design and a good battery. Of course, it was not without its drawbacks, but the merits of the M6 ​​are immeasurably greater.
