Meizu Blue 6T review: A good dual-camera product for 799 yuan

1Redefining the 100-yuan bucket phone Meizu Blue 6T review

Once upon a time, Meizu was criticized for its reputation of "eternal MediaTek". However, after Meizu and Qualcomm reached a settlement last year, Meizu not only got rid of this name, but also became one of the brands using the most different platforms: Meizu Note6, Meizu 15 Qualcomm, Meizu S6, Meizu 15 Plus Samsung Exynos, and MediaTek was rarely seen in the past. Today, we once again see an old friend in Kerosene's eyes - Meizu 6T, priced from 799 yuan, was officially released

Of course, the highlight of Meizu 6T is not the processor it is equipped with, nor the storage combination of 3+32GB. For mobile phones, especially in the market of 100-yuan and 1,000-yuan phones, we users naturally consider the eternal theme - cost performance. And cost performance naturally requires many considerations to draw conclusions - how to balance various configurations in a snail shell with a total price of only a few hundred yuan to make a mobile phone that satisfies the public? After reading today's review, you may find some answers.

Of course, we still have to talk about the basic configuration of this phone at the beginning - this is also the part we should pay most attention to. Meizu Blue 6T is equipped with a 5.7-inch LCD screen with a ratio of 18:9, but the resolution is HD level; MediaTek's MT6750 with 3/4GB+32/64GB storage capacity is also good at this price; the rear camera is 13 million + 2 million dual cameras, the front camera is 8 million resolution, and the ArcSoft algorithm is naturally standard. Overall, the overall configuration of Meizu Blue 6T is very balanced - it is not like the general 100 yuan phone that only cares about the beginning and not the end. In addition to the processor, there are still many highlights. Of course, we will talk about the specific highlights later.

2Appearance: 5.7-inch full screen and colorful body

First of all, due to cost and process considerations, the body of Meizu 6T is made of polycarbonate. However, compared with the cheap three-section body, it is not inferior to the ordinary three-section body, but has a slight advantage in terms of touch and appearance. The new PPG Master Paint is used to create three colors of Obsidian Black, Champagne Gold and Coral Blue for Meizu 6T, creating a unique charm different from metal and glass bodies.

The overall lines of the body are very rounded. It should be said that this is the product with the most curves in the recent generations of Meizu products. The design that avoids straight edges and right angles makes the Meizu Blue 6T feel more comfortable in the palm. Although the rounded and tough appearance may be different for different people, the improvement in the feel is something that everyone cannot deny.
The front of the phone is covered with 2.5D glass, and the rounded texture makes it feel light and delicate. However, the curvature of the large arc on the body and the four rounded corners of the screen are not the same, which is a bit regrettable - of course, this may be a detail that only people with obsessive-compulsive disorder like me would be entangled in.

Because no technical materials are used on the back of the phone, annoying designs such as the three-stage design and antenna band do not exist. There is only a dual-camera module and a circular fingerprint module centered on the back of the body, which is surrounded by metal and is smooth and comfortable to touch.

Through observation, the rear dual-camera has a single-sided anti-reflection film and anti-fingerprint coating technology, which is more durable and wear-resistant. I believe that it will not wear out after a few days of use.

The top of the body is a 3.5mm headphone jack, the bottom is a speaker and a micro USB port, the power and volume buttons on the right and the card slot on the left are also old traditions, again needless to say. However, it is worth mentioning that the edges of each opening are very neat and meticulous, with no burrs and very small tolerances. Although it is a 100-yuan phone, the workmanship has not dropped. Overall, the Meizu 6T has an excellent grip feel - the light enough body weight, the small enough body size and the unique feel of polycarbonate are the three elements that constitute all this: You can find that I have used the word exquisite many times to describe the Meizu 6T, which is a kind of unobtrusive and warm temperament. However, if you are really not interested in this design, you may feel "lukewarm" and not smooth enough. 3 Photo: The dual camera of the 100-yuan phone is not a decoration. The Meizu 6T has a rear 13 million + 2 million pixel dual lens, and the main camera uses the Sony IMX278 RGBW four-color sensor. The RGBW sensor can enhance dark light imaging by adding a colorless filter area to the color filter to allow the CMOS to receive more external light. The addition of multi-frame noise reduction technology also retains more dark details at the software level, enhancing the low-light photography experience.

Of course, like the general low-cost dual-camera solutions, the secondary camera of Meizu Blue 6T is only responsible for distance measurement and recording depth of field information. However, relying on Meizu's fairly good tuning technology, the overall film effect and quality are quite good. Let's take a look at a set of sample photos.

It can be seen that in sufficient light, the white balance of Meizu M6T is relatively accurate, the resolution is also good, and the details of distant buildings can be clearly seen. The colors of the flowers and plants in the foreground are bright enough but not losing their realism, and the overall look is good.

In terms of the front camera, the Meizu 6T still retains an 8-megapixel front lens with a large aperture of ƒ/2.0, which allows more light to enter and clearer image quality. The addition of Flyme's carefully tuned ArcSoft beauty algorithm also brings Meizu 6T better selfie performance and more natural skin tone. 4 Screen: Full-screen mobile phones are really popular among the public. The Meizu 6T is equipped with a 5.7-inch 18:9 ratio full screen. The resolution of 1440*720 is naturally not high, but considering the small screen size, the overall clarity is also good. Because it uses an LCD screen, its brightness performance is good. The laboratory test data can reach a maximum brightness of 453nits, which can basically meet the outdoor lighting environment.

The NTSC color coverage of 84.3% is also good among mobile phones of the same level. The cooler color temperature is more pleasing to the eye. Overall, the screen of Meizu Blue 6T does not have any major flaws and performs well at this price. Here we discuss interaction and screen together - because of the advent of the full-screen era, our interaction methods must also change accordingly. Meizu Blue 6T also supports Super mBack interaction in the full-screen era of Meizu. It has the classic "small circle" of Meizu built in. Tap to return to the previous layer and press again to return to the main interface.

However, because the Meizu 6T does not have pressure sensitivity this time, the feel of a hard press is actually more like a long press. If you are not particularly used to the mBack key before, it is actually not bad to use the original three navigation keys. Both the "small circle" and the navigation key can be hidden at any time, and you can pull them up to call them out when you need them, ensuring the simplicity and integrity of the full-screen mobile phone interface display. 5 Performance: MediaTek is seen again, but it is not a black spot. This time, Meizu 6T works with the MediaTek platform with rich cooperation experience, and is still equipped with the MT6750 processor, which uses a 1.5GHz A53×4+1.0GHz A53 eight-core architecture, a 28nm process, and an ARMMali-T860 GPU.

Thanks to Meizu's repeated polishing in previous models, the entire SoC performs balanced under the Flyme system. While taking into account daily use, it can also handle popular games such as "Identity V" and "Honor of Kings", basically covering most of the users' daily mobile phone needs.

Actually, I don't have a prejudice against MediaTek, but I was disappointed when all high-end, mid-range and low-end products were MTK. This time, Meizu Blue 6T is still using MT6750, but I have to give it a good review: first, it is understandable to use this chip at this price, and second, after many generations of running-in, Meizu is very familiar with its performance and it performs well.

Image description Of course, we still put the running scores of the three major software as a reference, but the running scores of the 100 yuan gear are just for reference, and smoothness is the hard truth. 6 Summary: 100 yuan bucket machine lays the foundation for the brand The impact of battery life on user experience should be one of the most intuitive parts. In the conventional 5.2-inch body, Meizu Blue 6T not only puts a 5.7-inch ultra-large screen, but also accommodates a 3300 mAh battery. However, the charging power of 5V1.5A is indeed not fast, which is a bit regrettable. In order to test the charging level of Meizu Blue 6T, we introduced the Zhongguancun Online 5-hour battery life test and 30-minute charging speed to evaluate the battery life of the phone. 5 hours of battery life means: when fully charged, use half the screen brightness and volume, clear the background programs, take pictures, play videos, browse Weibo, use WeChat, browse the web, play mobile games, stop playing new music, and read e-books in sequence, and record the remaining power of each node. The test lasts for 5 hours. The 30-minute charging test means: when the battery level of the mobile phone is 0, close all background applications and charge for 30 minutes, and record the battery level every 5 minutes.

In conclusion, the arrival of Meizu Blue 6T has brought the concept of a "bucket phone" to the 100-yuan phone market. Performance, appearance, photography, battery life... all the data are not top-notch, but they are not bad either. Looking at the products in this price range on the market, except for some old products that are "cleared out", there are few products that can match them in all aspects. With the Meizu Blue 6T, Meizu has laid a solid foundation in the 100-yuan phone market.

Of course, the price is there after all. Meizu 6T is not without flaws. If you want better photography, a better screen, better performance or better interactive feedback, then you have to pay more: M15 and Meizu E3 are still waiting for you in the 1,000 yuan range. One has mEngine and ultra-narrow bezels, and the other has stronger performance and photography. If you really need a 100 yuan-level phone with balanced parameters and no obvious shortcomings, then Meizu 6T is indeed a good choice as a [basic] phone.
