The number of reservations in 24 hours exceeded 4.3 million. What are the highlights of Meizu Blue 5?

On October 31, at the "Tmall Meizu Blue Night Concert", Meizu released a new product in the Meizu Blue series - Meizu Blue 5. What are the features of this new Meizu Blue product for mid- and low-end mobile phone users? Let's talk about it one by one below.

Like the already released product Meizu M3, Meizu M5 is still made of polycarbonate plastic body and PPG coating. It comes in five colors: mint green, glacier white, champagne gold, sapphire blue, and matte black. There are so many colors to suit the personalized needs of various users.

The front of the Meizu Blue 5 has no decorative elements or product logos, and the design is very simple, which is also the consistent design style of Meizu mobile phones. The body is slightly rounded, with a 5.2-inch 720p screen and 2.5D glass. The use of 2.5D glass improves the front appearance and edge grip of the body. This design has been widely used in mobile phone products and has become a popular design element in recent times. At the bottom of the front of the body is Meizu's iconic mBack Home button. Meizu has also given mTouch to the Meizu Blue 5, which improves efficiency and security in booting and payment.

The front camera, earpiece and light distance sensor are located on the top of the front of the phone. The front camera of Meizu M5 has 5 million pixels and an aperture of F2.0. It has Face AE automatic face recognition function and facial exposure enhancement algorithm.

The back of the body is very smooth, and just like the previous Meizu 3, there is no change in the layout of the camera, flash and the "MEIZU" logo on the back of the body.

At the bottom of the body, there are regular speaker and microphone openings on the left and right ends of the Meizu Blue 5. The data interface is still the traditional Micro USB interface, and the headphone jack is placed at the bottom this time, mainly to suit the user's usage habits.

What is the configuration of the polycarbonate plastic body of Meizu M5?

This time, Meizu M5 uses a polycarbonate body that feels good. In the current mobile phone market dominated by metal, Meizu M5 chooses plastic for two main reasons. The price of Meizu M5 is below 1,000 yuan, and it is obviously an entry-level phone that focuses on cost-effectiveness and the mid-to-low-end market. The choice of polycarbonate plastic also reduces unnecessary costs. Moreover, the Meizu M5 with a plastic body can still be regarded as a simple and beautiful entry-level model in appearance.

In addition, plastic bodies also have some advantages over metal. One of the major advantages of plastic shells is that they do not block signals, so plastic phones usually do not have problems such as signal attenuation. And compared to metal, it is less likely to have paint peeling, scratches, and other phenomena that affect the appearance of the body.

In terms of configuration, the Meizu Blue 5 still uses the MT6750 octa-core CPU, the same CPU as the Meizu Blue 3. The MT6750 supports all-network baseband and LTE Cat6. In addition, it is equipped with 2GB or 3GB of LPDDR3 memory. Having a larger memory allows applications to run more smoothly. In addition, the body storage is available in 32GB version in addition to 16GB, which has a larger body storage space and supports SD card expansion storage. In terms of screen, the Meizu Blue 5 uses a 5.2-inch screen with the same 720P resolution and IPS screen material. The glass covering the screen has become 2.5D glass, and the screen size has become larger. The camera is also a 13-megapixel + 5-megapixel camera combination. In addition, the battery of the Meizu Blue 5 has also increased to 3070mAh. The body has become larger, so a larger battery can be placed to improve the battery life of the phone. In general, for a 699 yuan phone, the configuration alone is already in the upper-middle level of the industry.

In terms of photography, the Meizu M5 also uses a 13-megapixel sensor, F/2.2 aperture, single pixel size of 1.2μm, dual-color fill light, and PDAF focus. Like the Meizu M3, the Meizu M5 still supports 1080P resolution 30FPS shooting. From the hardware point of view, the Meizu M5 photography hardware is roughly the same as the previous generation Meizu M3.

The software provides panoramic shooting, slow motion, GIF and other photography functions, and renamed the metering separation to manual metering. When the contrast between the object being photographed and the surrounding environment is large, you can focus on the object first, and then manually adjust the required light. This is a very practical function.

The Flyme 5.2 system used in the system interface still maintains the UI design of Flyme 5. It can be seen that the color matching is very refreshing and rich in colors, which fits the tastes of young users. The flat design and the body shape make the simple style complement each other.

From the perspective of Meizu's market layout, the price of Meizu Blue 5 is 699 yuan, which is a low price. For Meizu, Meizu Blue 5 is still a "volume-driven" product targeting the mid-to-low-end market, while also maintaining profits. While the Meizu Blue series product line is constantly expanding, a large part of Meizu's shipments are responsible for the Meizu Blue series products. We can see that the Meizu Blue series not only has high cost performance but also high appearance. The cost performance plus high appearance can also attract more mid-to-low-end users to pay for it.

Although the configuration and appearance of Meizu M5 have not changed much compared with its predecessor, the price is similar. In addition, the addition of fingerprint unlocking technology and larger body make Meizu M5 a new entry-level product that is still worth buying.
