It is not necessary . exaggerate the popularity of Chinese brands in Russia If Lenovo to people more or less known, in the case of our hero owner will have to listen, “Mei-that Maisie another imitation iPhone???» However, in the “Xiaomei” owners look more. with great sympathy – many Russians are sure that we are talking about the Chinese underground production, somewhere nearby with the release of “fragrant” rubber slippers to give

meanwhile, the rule remains the rule – Chinese “state employees” for the same money to offer a much more serious devices than Samsung, LG, Sony or HTC. It’s no joke – in a time of crisis, mobile phones with a large Full HD display and powerful “iron” stacked 20 thousand, or even less. Last year, this determination was remembered Huawei with Honor on anti-crisis prices, and the feat threatens Now repeat Meizu with their M3 Note.

But if you do not get hung up on the metal in the body, on sale there at least an eight, but plastic and cheaper M2 Note 14 thousand rubles. Given that kitayfony “kastryulnogo cut” has already become a trend – the novelty should explicitly claim to be anything more than a “work – well, okay.” Now expand its virtues and flaws on the shelves, and we shall understand.

Design and Management

Members flagships such fact razdosaduet, but Meizu’s theory of evolution looks a little differently than we are used to. Usually, because as it happens – the manufacturer puts soul (and money) in the development of the most-most smartphones and low-end models released by the principle “and so come down»

The rear panel is Meizu M3 Note

at the Meizu opened another – first, the light appears with an expensive MX5 lyuftyaschimi keys and careless treatment of metal, then collectors receive the life-giving motivations and the assembly is brought to mind in the flagship Pro 5. and only then successfully engineered body visits budget model

And it is nothing to complain about -. glass with good grease repellent coating, no gaps or burrs, no foil in place of metal. “Chrome” scattered along the contours of the keys and stretched two strips on the rear panel, the camera is not sticking out of the body (though the smartphone thick will not name) – grace! The fingerprint scanner in the button “Home” good -. Not great, but certainly better than the Samsung Galaxy S6 / Note 4 and, like even Meizu Metal

Trial and errors in the older models Meizu built a high-quality housing for state

lower bound Meizu M3 Note

You can find fault to stand out a little color plastic inserts on both sides of the cover, but to a hybrid (two the SIM, or one + memory card) tray on the right side. But today such frustrations is equipped with every second smartphone, so one never knows, I get tired of criticizing these trends of time.

Display and Audio

In fact, around the display and built popular Meizu M% number% Note – second-generation model, for example, offers a Full HD resolution at a minimum price. And not “garbage» Full HD with the poor level of brightness and contrast, but it is a high-quality image (praise-IGZO technology).

The new generation PHABLET already flaunts “thoroughbred» IPS-matrix. The display is very bright, with excellent viewing angles and good color reproduction – and much better than the shortfall in the color palette coverage than brute force and oversaturated colors, as now opened in vulgar smartphones competitors

 


 
 


 
 


 
 


 
 


 
 


 
 

Display Features Meizu M 3 Note
Maximum brightness level	430 cd / m2
contrast	730: 1
Color Gamut (sRGB)	92%
DeltaE	3,3
Gamma	2,3
Color Temperature	8000K

Gaps also exist – slightly inflated gamma (display a little “lightens” image relative to the reference), and the contrast level on the “aypiesovskim” standards are not so high. The color temperature is adjusted in the system settings, but initially display taught to display a little more cold than warm colors.

The display is quite good, but the speaker is disappointing

speakerphone communication plays as a … detached. Like, “I stuck in a metal box – work as best I can.” With volume like all good, but the effect of “tin”, coupled with cut low and medium frequencies leaky discourages listening to music without headphones. For YouTube speaker, of course, good, and the vocals from it sounds more or less, but to praise the budget Meizu in this respect not at all.

According to the sound in the headphones, the standard audio section MediaTek Helio P10 nobody I intervened – the smartphone plays the sound about as well as any representative on the basis of MT6753 or MT6735 «no preservatives.” That is slightly more calls than it would be necessary, the sound and the average margin on volume (for “gags” – with a margin for monitor headphones – not quite). It did not good nor bad, but just bland. Always have a desire to “immediately correct, then – to tweak EQ”, which in a standard audio player, by the way, there is no

Hardware

«Under the hood» M3 Note working yet exotic processor MediaTek Helio. P10, aka – MT6755M. This is the answer Chamberlain Kvalkomu and method of depreciating knock Snapdragon 615/616/617 (which are established in all these your Wileyfox Storm, Honor 5X, ASUS ZenFone Selfie et al.). The processor does not hurt a thoroughbred – the same 28, the usual cost for other chips, but it is much more sensible than the already outdated MT6752 / 6753. And still I liked the chip Sony – New affordable Xperia will be based exactly on the MT6755

CPU Power (Geekbench test 3)

the design – all the same. Cortex-A53, with a range of frequencies between the two 4-core clusters. But the video card is already present, though not “kryshesnosyaschy”. High-speed LTE Cat.6 (up to 300 Mbit / s) is useful for the future, and Wi-Fi support on the 5 GHz – nice now “trick.” Slightly improved mid-range chip for a little of everything.

Cheap eight cores are slightly faster, but not more than that

Software

For those who do not know Meizu different from other smartphones on Android, it says -. in smartphones of the company “green robot” redrawn and alter drastically Central control all (as in the iPhone) and the appearance of a completely original someone loves shell Flyme OS, someone -. hates in any case, the smartphone has its own face and well-established tradition of design

interface of Android 5.1 in the Meizu M3.. Note

as soon as the reservation that in the test came instance without the support of the Russian language, but with a set of Google Play (China Google blocked local “Kitaykomnadzorom” and smartphones use alternative app stores and services . Russification of foreign language smartphones have long been available, even in the absence of Google Play can be set. As a result, the system will look like this.

Camera

As long as the rate photos with Meizu M3 Note on your computer, our hero seems cool cameraphone. Macro on the bright IPS-matrix looks like – “oh!” Video – “! Hoo”, the picture is rich and, like a clear, because I see it in detail on the 5.5 inch does not go

Sample photos taken with the rear camera Meizu M3 Note

But on the large screen images with M3 Note impress much less – the camera is our hero, of course, a little better quality than at the cost of smartphones, but not far from them left. In good light quality pictures go well (look at Bumblebee and flowers, at least). But the dynamic range in a narrow chamber, and it is noticeable by lightening like bleach, the sky above a green house, and even the inscriptions and signs on the houses already at an average distance shupomodavleniya system turns to mush.

Manual mode (and settings there really a lot) to Meizu M3 Note looks useless, moreover, that the processor is not too quick to record photos – even slowly going bystander when the picture in the banal form with the HDR has the “tail” because of slowness camera / iron <. / p>

day videos look quite good for a smartphone for less 20 thousand rubles, but at night the video quality drops below the plinth – inhibited shooting at 15 frames per second, and an abundance of noise discourage include shooting at night at all. It is unlikely that the competitors of our hero will prove considerably better, but good pictures and medium quality video on M3 Note obtained only in sunny weather for a certain amount of patience.

Squeeze-quality photos of budget cameras not so easy

Selfi camera – normal. Short-sighted (group photo is unlikely to get quality), but with good detail when shooting alone.

Autonomy

It’s funny, but at an identical thickness with the most likely adversary in Russia (Honor 5X, roomy), M3 Note carries a 1100 mAh more capacious battery. And it even Meizu weight was higher by only 5 grams. M2 Note, remember with greater thickness contained the only 3100 mAh and recoup at runtime only due to energy-efficient display.

 
 


 
 


 
 


 
 

Application Mode (brightness of 200 cd / m2)	The duration of the work, hours
Video from the memory card	12 hours 30 minutes
games	6:00 45 minutes
Read	15 hours

But the third generation model, such tricks are not needed: intelligent accelerator Mali-T860 is better to dispose of the battery charge when playing video, and the display brightness with good margin without discomfort can be kept at 50 70% of its maximum level of luminosity – a mixed-mode use M3 Note lasts for two days,

Smartphone is very hardy and is in standard thickness and weight

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

Since today we are talking about kitayfonah, it is worth recalling the most feature-rich mobile phone in the ruble spent – PHABLET Chinese “discounter” Xiaomi. The camera in this model is as modest (if not worse), as in the M3 Note, autonomy is about the same metal casing, but a little less than respectable. But the processor is a much more steep, and speed Note 3 the Pro “breaks” any PHABLET in the range of 20 thousand rubles.

Officially in Russia, this model is not for sale, so in case of failure will have to “butt” with the repair shop at small shops, and in the case of an order from China in senseless seller (such caught) – independently tinker with reinsertion into the Russian language and the subsequent software updates. In general, the choice of enthusiasts who are ready to “tighten up the nuts and process Movil” your digital toy whenever you need.

Honor 5X

But the “Chinese” has long been out of the closet and sold in Russia at an attractive price and with an official guarantee. Oh, and the whims of bureaucrats to impose duties on parcels from abroad, the new Honor, too, did not touch

Comparable on housing quality, a little less bright display, but a high-quality camera, a weaker processor and less outstanding endurance -. Without trade-offs in the public Huawei has not done. But frankly the weaknesses in this model, because it turned out to 5X “horoshistom” in all disciplines.
