Appearance

Visually, the Meuse M5S smartphone is not much different from its predecessors. Aluminum was used instead of plastic, but plastic inserts in metal-like color remained below and above. Besides, the edges of the phone have become smootherthat makes it look more expensive than it really is.

Important! The model is sold in four colors: white, gold, pink, black. The first three models have a white border around the display. The black front panel is made in a single color, that is, the device is completely dark.

Due to the rounded edges of the case, the device fits well in the hand and does not feel like a device with a diagonal of 5.2 inches. On the front side below the display branded button mTouch, on top - speaker, camera, light sensor (not visible in black), notification indicator. The right side is a slot for SIM cards. The left side is the control buttons. The finger sensor is still installed in the button below the display. Behind the user will see a round camera and under it a two-color flash. Unlike previous models, headphones were moved to the upper end. At the bottom there was a connector for charging microUSB with OTG support, speaker, microphone. The model looks monolithic and feels. Build quality at a very high level, nothing backlash and creaks.

In Meizu M5s installed type display IPS with Hd by permission. It has good viewing angles, close to real color reproduction, a very high margin of brightness. The 2.5D display has a good oleophobic coating. The touch feeling is pleasant, the screen is almost not covered with prints. The overall impression is positive and, despite the fact that the screen has become more by 0.2 inches, and the resolution has remained the same, the picture has become better than the M3s. In addition, the display does not seem so faded and cheap, as it was in the old model.

Performance and autonomy

Characteristics Maize M5S is difficult to call the game.There is far from being the most powerful processor, and even 3 gigabytes of RAM, some of which are used by the operating system, will not allow gamers to enjoy the process from the game. However, for everyday tasks smartphone fits perfectly.

After the announcement, many were afraid that the device would be very hot, given the metal case, it could be very unpleasant. In fact, this almost does not happen. An exception can be called a long game process.

Important! You can set one of the performance modes in the phone, which will affect the speed and autonomy.

By the time the smartphone shows quite good results. Continuous video viewing discharged the Meize M5S phone in 10 hours. This means that a working day with an average load on the phone is enough. Unlike the predecessor M3s, this device has already implemented a fast charging technology, and the figure is impressive: 56% in 30 minutes is very good.

Phone camera

If we talk about the camera, then everything remained at the same level. The manufacturer simply transfers it from one phone to another.For those who have not read reviews of previous models and have not had the opportunity to test them, the following points can be highlighted:

• shooting in the afternoon, macro, panorama - great photos;
• night shooting and landscapes leave much to be desired;
• self-camera copes well with their tasks;
• the video is good quality, the sound is written perfectly, the only negative is the poor autofocus during video recording.

Standard the camera has about 10 modes, they have not changed from past models. However, those users who upgrade the phone to the 6th version of Flyme may notice that the application interface will change, while the functionality will remain absolutely the same.

The flash has two shades - warm and cold. The interesting point is that today all marketers say that blur the background and select the focus possible only in phones with two cameras in the back. This is not the most truthful information. If you plunge into history, you can remember that this functionality first appeared in the Samsung S5, and now it is also available in Meizu smartphones.

operating system

Almost all manufacturers of devices on Android create their own shell, which make the phones more unique. Meizu is Flyme.In general, it is not much different from other firmware. There is no menu, everything is located on the desktops. The shell is sharpened under the control of one mTouch button, and it should be noted that this is very convenient, especially in phones with a large diagonal, which are difficult to use with one hand.

In addition, the shell has a number of its settings. In version 5 there is no support transfer applications from phone memory to a removable card. In the 6th version, a similar bonus also did not appear, however, this can be done through some manipulations. The general impression is that everything works quickly, the localization is good, there are no questions to work. Despite the fact that the button performs several functions at once, you can deal with its work very quickly, everything happens at the level of intuition.

Conclusion

The Maze M5s is an interesting phone that It has only two minuses:

• modest performance
• mediocre camera.

On the official website, the price of the phone at the time of release was 799 and 999 yuan, which in translation into Russian rubles ranges from 11 to 14 thousand rubles. Whether to buy this phone or not is up to the end consumer.
