More recently, we introduced you to the flagship, which caused quite a stir – a smartphone Meizu Pro 6. It is the turn to wash the bones to one more troublemakers Chinese company – Meizu M3 Note. This is the third line of the popular smartphone with a typical middle segment set of characteristics, reasonable price, high-quality build and materials, decent housing. I do not disappoint their relatives person involved in the review? Let’s deal

! Design and ergonomics
Imitate design smart phones “one of the American company” for Meizu has become a tradition, but this time the Chinese craftsmen have decided to expand the geography of the copy. Therefore, the front side of it is very similar to Apple iPhone 6s Plus, and if you look at the back, the eye-catching features of countryman Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
In addition to a 5.5-inch display on the front panel is a smartphone Meizu earpiece, the windows of the front camera and sensors, the notification light, framed by a metal beveled and slightly recessed the surface of the front panel of the hardware-touch key with built-in fingerprint scanner mTouch 2.1.
by the sensor no complaints, its task it copes with “excellent”, can recognize the owner’s fingerprints to unlock the screen and restrict access to applications. This role does not end keys. Average press to unlock the screen, turn a running application, return to the desktop, in which case it functions as a button “Home”. With an optional touch layer it can also be used as a key “Back” – just slightly touch the surface. This functionality users will appreciate the Apple smartphone with a small screen sizes, which often have to miss on the navigation elements on the interface
On the right are two large mechanical keys, they stick out noticeably beyond the housing and have a distinct course. Claims may arise from those who are used to the left-hand placement volume control, the inability to quickly adjust the signal level during a conversation will be a little annoying. The headphone jack on the top, next to – the opening of additional microphone. Below are located symmetric lattice dynamics and microphone, microUSB-socket, a microphone, and do not violate the harmony of a couple of screws. Tray under two NanoSIM-card (or NanoSIM-card and memory card) integrated into the left side plate.
The design of the back of the sleek, it may seem that it is made entirely of aluminum, but it is not. At the top and bottom of the case – two plastic inserts for the correct operation of the antennas. They are made in the color of metal, delivered exactly even matte texture, it gives only disguise the absence of chill to the touch, typical for metal surfaces. The rest, the majority of the body is made of aluminum alloy.
At the top of the back is a slightly protruding camera module with LED flash and the manufacturer’s logo.
The dimensions of 153.6 x 75.5 x 8.2 mm and weighs 163 g The device fits comfortably in the hand and does not feel thick, that pleases based on the 4100 mAh battery. This is the case when the manufacturer praise for the quality of work will not be superfluous, the smartphone looks expensive. Color variants classic, like the champions -. Silver and gold from the front panel in white and dark gray with a front panel in black
Display
As with its predecessor, the machine uses 5 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The smartphone boasts a high-quality IPS-matrix using the full lamination (without air gap) technology and protective glass T2X-1.
The presence of a small rounding at the edge of the display window adds points visitor review, and it’s not just aesthetics, smooth edges provide a comfortable sliding of fingers during the operation, for example, when reading. And just feel the tactile smartphone, holding in his hands, very nice. Those who were previously deprived of this option, will appreciate it at its true worth. The device supports MiraVision 2.0 technology, which is designed to improve image quality and save energy.
According to the results of our measurements of the brightness varies from 3.7 to 339 cd / m², which is significantly different from the stated official data, where maximum brightness is declared at the level of 450 cd / m². The values of the contrast ratio is also not stand by, we have 1: 525, and in the specifications of 1: 1000. Let me remind you that we tested a sample of pre-sale, and there is little hope that all tucked up.
If you do not pay attention to the numbers, the screen looks good. It has a minimum framework for that special thank you, the normal viewing angles and color reproduction. Reserve enough brightness for comfortable use a smartphone on a sunny day, there is an automatic adjustment of the level of illumination. It lacks the smoothness of the transitions between the states are carried out rather tartly. Note the excellent quality oleophobic coating – an effort to, in order to erase the prints do not have to. Screen settings are not distinguished variety, but provide an opportunity to change for themselves the color temperature by setting using the slider.
The operating system and shell
The smartphone runs on Android 5.1-based with a proprietary interface Flyme OS 5.1.3.0G. In this case, the shell was not the final version, it showed unspecified Google services, problems with synchronization and idle the Calendar application. As for sales samples, most likely, these disadvantages you will not find, but after buying the shell carefully check the work would be superfluous. By the speed and smoothness of the interface issues have arisen
In the shell there is no separate application menu, the main user’s workspace -. The desktop, there are application icons and widgets. At the bottom of the desktop is a dock that can accommodate up to four shortcuts or folders.
Control parameters menu is called desktop gesture “pinch” or long tapom on any free area of the screen. It consists of three points: Sort, Wallpapers and Widgets. First – simplifies moving and sorting application shortcuts, and the second allows you to change your desktop wallpaper, the third -. Add to your desktop or a third-party widgets pre-installed
multitasking menu is swipe from the bottom edge of the screen. The shell has a blind notifications, which is combined with the control panel switches, it stretches the traditional gesture – swipe down from the top edge of the screen. In the Settings app, you can get there by clicking the icon on the desktop or in the curtain notifications.
All of the smartphone settings are divided into 17 groups. Most of the sections and items settings coincide with those of the native Android – will be easy to understand
It would be desirable to stop in more detail on some of the built-in applications.. For example, the gallery has a lot of options for editing photos. It’s not Photoshop Lightroom or Snapseed, but it will satisfy the bulk of users and additional programs will not have to put.
The application of complex safety system checks and optimizes. You can clear the memory and disk storage, to control the use of mobile Internet, use anti-virus protection, configure the power modes and much more.
You can not leave without attention and quite functional file manager Explorer and complex utility, which collected a large number of applications corresponding to the label name.
Media
According to statistics, about 60% of users every day listening to music on their smartphones, and more than half of all users regularly use the speaker-phone. These tasks require a high-quality processing and audio output, and want the same users. What they can offer Meizu M3 Note?
Smartphone provides good characteristics of the sound output to the headphones. In particular, it is stated signal / noise ratio of 110 dB and THD of – 95dB. These options have not every smartphone.
The external speaker loud, but the sound quality does not stand out, and yes, he was there one second grating for beauty. The possibilities of encoding and decoding of video data is not changed, supported by decoding H.264 and H.265 video formats to 1080p resolution at 30 FPS frame, and encoding to H.264 with the same characteristics. Problems with playback Full HD-video there, 4K platform does not support, but plays no significant artifacts with little troll.
Hardware Platform and autonomy
Meizu M3 Note built on a processor MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755M), it automatically adjusts the CPU and GPU frequency to reduce power consumption, while maintaining maximum performance sufficient to meet current challenges. 8 core Cortex-A53 provide smooth operation of the interface, as well as the performance of demanding tasks, eg, 3D-games. For optimal output of images on the smartphone display responds graphics accelerator Mali-T860.
GPS works fine, with wireless networks is also all right. Communication modules include support for LTE networks, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 technology with BLE (Bluetooth low energy). I would not have prevented the infrared port with the NFC, but the smartphone is not.
The amount of memory in the test apparatus is 2GB, but there are versions and 3 GB. On sale will be versions with 16 GB or 32 GB of internal memory, it is possible, as already mentioned, instead of one of NanoSIM-card install a MicroSD, thus expanding the storage capabilities
One of the main features of the Meizu M3 Note. – the battery capacity of 4100 mAh. This could not affect the autonomy, we can safely expect the two full days of operation of the device in active mode. If you do not want to once again load the smartphone and have the desire to save battery life, you can take advantage of power management settings, then the smartphone will squeeze and three days.
Camera
The main camera 13 megapixel and it is equipped with a two-color flash, autofocus phase, 5-element lens with a value of f / 2.2 aperture. At the interface will not dwell in detail settings abound, we note only that in photo present manual settings, and it is already a lot.
With the specifications of all good, but in practice? We remember that the users of previous generations of the line smartphones are not particularly praised the capabilities of the camera. Alas, the miracle did not happen and photographic abilities were a weak point.
The images can not compete with the iPhone 5 (which is 5, instead of 5s). For comparative test of Apple’s smartphone was taken by chance, it has contributed to the choice of the status of “national”, which means that the quality of images obtained at him familiar to many. In addition, the camera module can hardly be called iPhone 5 is advanced and to some extent balances the chances of the comparison. The test was conducted in automatic mode. Looking closely, we see that Meizu is losing dynamic range, detail, color reproduction
The maximum size of the video, which removes the camera -. 1080p, has a time-lapse mode, but the quality leaves much to be desired
<. p> Front-end module camera 5-megapixel, he copes with its tasks, and can trump aperture optics with the value of the aperture f / 2.0, and support for Face After Effects and FotoNation technology to improve the quality selfie.
Pros: The body materials and assembly time, sufficient performance and energy efficiency platform availability fingerprint scanner, the price
Cons: Weak photographic ability, design secondary
Conclusion: Meizu M3 Note – this PHABLET, which combines the price segment of the budget and some characteristics of high-end solutions. We were pleased with the autonomy – this is one of the few “well-dressed” smart phones came out of the house to which you will not have to worry about forgotten charged. Materials and build quality are commendable, very tactile smartphone did not want nice perceived to relinquish. The Meizu, unlike their Chinese competitors, supplied to Ukraine officially, maybe it slightly increases the costs, but the existence of the guarantee and service support for devices from the “Middle Kingdom” is important. A bit upset borrowed design and quality of the main camera, but overall review of the hero can be called one of the best to date suggestions in its price segment.
