Design

Very often, when describing Chinese smartphones, a comparison with Apple technology is used. Many readers are starting to talk about copying, and to some extent this is true. If you take the Maze Pro 6 and put the iPhone 6S next to it, then the visual difference will be only in the buttons: the apple device is round, the Chinese one is oval. In all other respects, the most complete resemblance is rounded edges, 2.5D glass. The same arrangement of elements on the front panel. If you do not find fault with the design in terms of borrowing, the device looks very nice, and the build quality leaves only positive emotions.

On the front panel is located on top of the speaker. On both sides of it - the camera and proximity sensor. Under the screen - physical oval button with the function of recognizing the duration of clicks and swipes. At Maize, she replaces the standard for phones with Android buttons “Home”, “Back”, “Menu”.

Despite the fact that the dimensions of the Meizu Pro 6 have become smaller, the weight still remained noticeable. The back side is made of metalAccording to the manufacturer, 98% of it is iron. Above and below the device there are thin plastic inserts, which slightly dilute the design, and besides, various wireless connection antennas are placed under them. In the central part in the middle there is the name of the company, above it there is a round flash and a camera. The latter is slightly convex.

The device is released in three colors: black, gold and silver. The first has a dark faceplate, the remaining colors have a white face. Reviews of people who happened to use the phone say that the most pleasant visually is the black version, but at the same time it is the most branded.

The perimeter of the device is equipped with the following structural elements.

1. The bottom end - the power connector, speaker, microphone and headphone jack.
2. An additional microphone is placed on the upper end.
3. The left side is the power button and volume control. Both buttons are metallic, pleasant to the touch.
4. On the right side is a SIM card slot. Their format is nano-sim.

Important! It is impossible to expand the memory in this phone, so when buying, you just need to think about with what memory to take the device.

Display

The Maze Pro 6 phone has diagonal 5.2 inches, and this is a very smart decision, because the previous version had a larger display. Fablet interests are far from being to the overwhelming majority of buyers, so making an expensive smartphone for a narrow circle of people would not be too reasonable. 5.2 inches is a universal option that will appeal to those who do not want too large or small device.

Display created by technology from Samsung. Koreans themselves use their Super amoled already very long and very successful. These are good screens with an excellent margin of brightness, color and contrast. In addition, this type of display has good energy efficiency. Display has anti-reflective coatingthat in bright sunlight avoids unpleasant reflections in the eyes.

The resolution of the display is FHD, it has good tilt angles, but at the maximum it gives a bit of green tones. In general, this is not critical, because with real use the effect does not appear. In the display settings there are a number of interesting features:

• blue protection;
• changing display tones;
• auto brightness control.

Also, the screen understands gestures and double tapas. The reviews of Meizu Pro 6 talk a lot about innovation, which again is compared with the technology of the American manufacturer. In this case we are talking about recognition of pressing force. If you click on any element of the screen, an additional menu with functions will appear.

On a note! Another interesting feature of the display is that after a brief press of a point a point appears that can be used to perform various actions. For example, scroll backward or forward.

Autonomy and processor

The battery in the smartphone Meizu Pro 6 is non-removable, its capacity is 2560 mAh. With serious loads of the phone it will be enough for 15-17 hours, if you use it more economically, then a day is quite a real indicator. The device is able to last about 3.5 hours during continuous games, 9 hours of watching movies.

Another advantage of the model - fast charge. In this case, it has a significant competitive advantage, as the combination of the Helio X25 processor and intelligent control over the power consumption allows you to charge the phone from 0 to 100% for 1 hour.

The processor in the new product from Meizu is also new. It was created by a Taiwanese company. This is the first processor brand that works on three-cluster architecture. In the description of the device, it was stated that the cores work in two fours and one deuce. The chipset understands how difficult the task is in front of it, and it involves the very cores that will cope with it as quickly as possible and without unnecessary loads on the battery. In general, the processor quickly displays information on the screen and does well in many tasks.

Important! Minus processor - it is not designed for gamers. The device will be able to run powerful games, but the FPS will sink to very low values. On AnTutu the device is gaining about 100 thousand points.

Camera and sound

The parameters of the main camera Meizu Pro 6 are as follows:

• 21 megapixel resolution, module created by Sony;
• 6 lenses;
• phase and laser focusing;
• no optical stabilization;
• aperture - F2;
• The flash is round with 10 LEDs; it has two types of illumination - cold and warm.

The camera is different from the one that was in Pro 5, only in that became more wide-angle. Detailing images of two devices at the same level.

The camera works quickly, it focuses very accurately. When shooting in low light conditions, pictures are obtained with a minimum amount of noise. The dynamic range is quite good, the viewing angles are also high. The module in all respects is quite good.

Video can be shot in 4K format with 30 frames per second. Of the minuses - not the largest viewing angle when shooting video. In the application, nothing has changed, there are several modes and among them manual. Selfie camera is nothing special: a good picture, and nothing more.

The speakers in the Meise phones, especially in the high price segment, put good ones. In this case, there is an additional amplifier, as well as a special sound processor, which makes the music even more listenable. Many users say that the sound quality in Meise Pro 6 is better than that of the same Apple iPhone 6S or Samsung S6, however, everything is an amateur.

Conclusion

Despite this, the phone has a number of advantages, which can be a powerful argument for buying:
