Yesterday Meizu presented M2 Note (preliminary review) – a model designed to build on the success M1 Note. During the event the slide show, which has been listed times, demanding improvements in the precursor. So M2 Note got extended support networks LTE, a slot for memory cards microSD, optimization of proprietary firmware Flyme at 64 bits (the program were run 20-30% faster than M1 Note to Android KitKat), new algorithms for processing images. In addition, there was a firm rejection of the circle touch in favor of mechanical buttons with touch layer (see videoprevyu to see action possible to it). The company did not say a word about the iron component of the new items that should have been alerted.
The fact that M2 Note though and got a large index chipset (MediaTek MT6753 instead MT6752), but it consists of at least fast cores Cortex-A53 (1,3 GHz instead of 1.7 GHz), and includes a weaker graphics accelerator (Mali-T720MP3 450 MHz against Mali-T760MP2 to 700 MHz). The miracle did not happen, and M2 Note is not as fast in synthetic tests as M1 Note (the same with the games, but it will show on the video in the near future). Indicators M2 Note benchmarks (results M1 Note See the review):
Indicators: AnTuTu 5.7.1 – 31877, Geekbench 3 – 585/2667, Basemark OS 2 – 785, GFXBench 1080p – 173/685 8 (Manhattan / T-Rex), 3DMark Unlimited – 6853, Epic Citadel Ultra – 26,6 fps. In general, the figures are pleasant, especially combined with the price of the gadget (in China, it will cost less than 7 thousand. Rubles). But amid M1 Note, of course, spoils the impression (but it also costs significantly more expensive – 9,5 thous. In China).
Why the company decided to slow performance in successor? Several assumptions. Firstly, Chinese app stores (there banned Play Store – you know, right?), Consisting mostly of the range of Chinese publishers, contain virtually no powerful 3D-games, and the rate of M2 Note should be quite enough for comfortable playing simple titles (runners, puzzle, arcade, etc.) – the target audience is enough. Secondly, M1 Note until leaving the sale, and more affordable PHABLET need to harden positions (M2 Note in China at a price of 799 yuan is cheaper M1 Note 300 yuan, so that in Russia it has to be cheaper than a couple of thousand – since you will not demand more money for a little less speed). Third, it is believed that M1 Note, broke up a circulation of over 5 million units, which the company really did not work because of low prices, great sales knocked down MX4 and MX4 Pro, so that obviously is not very productive M2 Note Company prepares soil under the MX5, which will storm the tops of benchmarks – a powerful byudzhetka not needed. Fourth, MediaTek may force manufacturers to buy instead MT6753 MT6752 (directories of many companies have emerged such models coming to replace devices with MT6752). What do you think?
