Meizu 17 Pro review: it brings not only 5G but also feelings

Fifteen years ago, Meizu almost became the manufacturer of the professional conference, and the opening performance guests became special memories of that period. Now because of the epidemic situation, Meizu's press conference has become an online version, but they still built a real venue in Zhuhai somewhere to hold this press conference for Meizu 17 Pro.

　Meizu's two phones, Meizu 17 and 17 Pro, have also arrived in the Sina Digital Evaluation Room in recent days. Let's find out.

My drawer still contains the MX3 invitation letter, a MX3 wooden handboard from Meizu. It was said that J. Wong polished more than 30 wooden hand boards in order to find a large screen size that can be easily controlled with one hand. He discusses the screen size, ratio, width and other parameters with company executives, designers and engineers every day. Finally, the width of 72mm, the 15: 9 screen ratio, and the chamfer of the screen and the curvature of the back are determined, so that this phone is comfortable enough to hold in the hand.

This story is probably the most complete interpretation of the "feel" by mobile phone manufacturers. Perhaps many non-kerosene will feel uncomfortable to see, but whether or not they recognize this behavior, they must admit that the MX3 years later, Meizu is the most Manufacturers who value the grip of mobile phones.

　　And so far, although the 17 Pro's screen has reached 6.6 inches, the width is still 72.2 mm-a Meizu-style stubbornness. And the counterweight is also maintained at 50:50, so you wo n’t feel top-heavy and lean back.

　　Only by understanding these, you will understand why J. Wong and his Meizu company emphasize the feel.

Because of this, when the 17 Pro is taken out of the box, it will make people feel like "Meizu is back". These details that you won't know if you don't say it, may be placed in front of parameters such as 5G Snapdragon 865. The feel is not so high-tech. Compared with the processor's main frequency or camera, the feel cannot be quantified, nor can it be separated. The screen is perceived by the user.

　　Of course, we also have to talk about it. After all, the times have changed. The 6.6-inch screen is different from the 5.1-inch MX3 at that time. The 4500 mAh battery is different from the MX3 ’s 2400 mAh. The 219-gram body is also the same as the MX3 The weight of 143 grams is different, but these hardware is a must for the times, these are destined to 17 Pro feel will be different from the products many years ago. But comparing the opponent with the same screen and battery, this feel is already the best solution without compromising the ratio of battery to screen.

On the back of the 17 Pro, Meizu uses ceramic material, and the "azure" of the evaluation machine in our hand is the representative of the texture and color of this ceramic. It is undeniable that ceramic is slightly heavier than glass, but its touch is more mellow. This restrained color is also clearly different from many fancy mobile phones on the market. In order to allow users to experience this feel, Meizu only equipped the 17 Pro with a transparent mobile phone case that can protect the four corners

By the way, two boxes (although not directly related to the performance of the mobile phone), Meizu has basically defaulted to the rule of using white boxes for conventional products and black boxes for important flagships in the past few years. This time the Meizu 17 Pro is replaced with a new translucent plastic box, the appearance is no longer so angular and angular, and the sensory is more chic.

　　The screen and its careful thinking

　　Let's start with the "point" of the screen.

　　Meizu 17 Pro uses a perforated screen, Samsung Super AMOLED material, 2240x1080 screen resolution, and the ultimate brightness can reach 1100 nits. According to the official note, the hole punch in the upper right corner is only 2.99 mm, which is visually different from many punch screen mobile phones.

Below this hole is a 20-megapixel front-facing selfie lens. Many people will say, haven't you seen it on vivo S5 before? It is true, but Meizu has added some thoughts on this point. For example, the ring-shaped power, the power is displayed directly around the small hole at a glance; in addition, there is a more practical pre-access reminder for the App.

　　It will also flash when the front camera is called. For many users, this feature will clearly remind users to protect privacy.

Meizu 17 Pro bezel

　　As mentioned earlier, Meizu 17 Pro uses a 6.6-inch screen with a ratio of 19.5: 9, which is a relatively common ratio in the current mobile phone industry. It is also equipped with a 90-frame refresh rate, 180Hz sampling rate, SGS screen eye protection certification, etc. Additional attributes. However, for more people, the first thing they pay attention to is the screen itself, to be precise, the border around the screen.

　　As we all know, although all manufacturers are moving towards the ultimate goal of "a piece of glass", for technical reasons, in mass production mobile phones, there is no way to make the front lens and bottom chin (screen, drive cable) disappear, so There will be bangs screen, water drop screen, perforated screen, etc. in various disguised full screens.

Meizu's choice is micro-punch + COF process, the overall idea is that technology gives way to design. In this way of thinking, the hole in the upper right corner should be as small as possible, and the chin is almost the same width as the other three sides (the chin part is 3.3 mm). Indeed, the four borders are not the same, so Meizu's publicity is also "almost the same width on all four sides."

　　The front of the Meizu 17 Pro has a black border. There is no problem when the screen is off, and only a little difference when it is lit. In addition, another Meizu 17 mobile phone we got is a white border. Although I think black is better, many colleagues like this white border and think it is Meizu.

　　Other things you ca n’t see are the mEninge 3.0 bionic mechanical shock, which is the horizontal motor. This is the traditional skill of Meizu. Since Meizu 15 has left a good reputation in the Android camp; NFC has already become a mobile phone standard However, Meizu still adds some intelligent functions, such as judging which card to swipe: it is implemented according to user habits, such as taking the subway at 17 o'clock every day and brushing the door at 18:00.

　　Experience 5G without feeling

　　The 17 series is Meizu's first 5G mobile phone, and has some pain points for the current 5G mobile phone. For example, 5G's high power consumption leads to short battery life, and it also causes the phone to heat up. Meizu has developed mSmart Link technology for 5G. In short, it is a balanced connection between 5G and mobile phone performance, which is faster and more power-efficient.
