▲ Meizu V8 High Edition Evaluation
According to Meizu's product layout, Meizu V8 is a continuation of the positioning of Charm Blue's basic models, aiming at the thousand yuan market, and the basic models are "volume-taking" products, so the cost performance is more important. Meizu V8 not only adopted the metal body design, but also changed the tradition of using polycarbonate as the basic model, which brought a higher reputation and hardware upgrade. Cost-effective and high reputation make more low-end users pay the bill.
Charm Blue has been a brand for some time. This time, Meizu chose to rename Charm Blue products as Meizu brand, which may be the result of the joint efforts of Meizu Division and Charm Blue Division earlier, but in any case, Charm Blue brand still exists in another form. This time, Meizu V8 may be a new beginning. We also see that V8 still maintains the "bloodline" of Charm Blue, and further improves the cost performance, harvesting the market below 1,000 yuan, and shouldering the task of Meizu to explore overseas markets.

▲ Meizu V8 High Edition Fingerprint Recognition
Meizu V8 adopts a full-screen design, and the front chin position can no longer accommodate the mTouch HOME button. This time Meizu V8 adopted the same back fingerprint design as Meizu 6T. Meizu V8 adopts12 million+5 million pixel camera, and adopts 6P lens design, which brings a large aperture of f2.2, and the camera configuration is quite good for a hundred-dollar machine.
▲ Meizu V8 high-end version uses a 5 megapixel front camera.
Meizu V8 is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera with a large aperture of f 1.9, which supports ArcSoft beauty algorithm, bringing better self-portrait effect to Meizu V8, making self-portrait skin color more natural and details more gentle.
▲ Meizu V8 high version chin position
Meizu adopts a full-screen design, and the front adopts the on-screen Super mBack HOME button design. Meizu V8' s Super mBcak adopts a bottom horizontal line design similar to Meizu 16th, which makes the Home button occupy less screen position. Super mBack can realize the touch return of mBack. Long press is the function of HOME button, and the operation experience is equally excellent.
▲ Meizu V8 high version bottom hole
Meizu V8 high-end earphone interface and USB interface are at the bottom of the mobile phone, Meizu V8 still uses MicroUSB interface, and old users do not need to replace the data cable when upgrading. Meizu V8 battery 3 100mAh, body thickness 8.1mm. ..

Meizu V8 interactive experience
Back fingerprint unlocking
▲ Charm Blue V8 High Edition Back Fingerprint Unlocking
Meizu V8 cancels the front mTouch because of the full screen, and adopts the back fingerprint identification scheme on Meizu V8. At present, many mobile phones adopt the back fingerprint identification scheme. Compared with front fingerprint identification, the experience of back fingerprint identification will be worse, and of course the cost and manufacturing process requirements will be lower.
▲ Back fingerprint unlocking
The back fingerprint identification scheme is also quite mature, and it also brings a good experience when applied to Meizu V8. Meizu V8' s back fingerprint recognition can also bring very fast recognition speed, and support WeChat and Alipay fingerprint payment, which is not much different from the front fingerprint in function. The back fingerprint scheme is not the fingerprint scheme that Meizu wants, but Meizu mblu V8 does use the back fingerprint for cost and design reasons, and this compromise scheme may be acceptable to low-end users.
Face recognition unlocking
▲ Charm Blue V8 High Edition Face Unlocking
Flyem7 brings a new way to unlock mobile phones-face unlocking. Meizu 16th uses the front camera and AI algorithm to unlock the face, and the recognition process only takes 0. 1 second. Meizu 16th also added the function of raising the hand to brighten the screen. With the face recognition unlocking function, the unlocking speed of the system can be greatly improved and the unlocking operation steps can be simplified.
Super mBack:
▲ Super mBack function
Meizu V8 adopts a super mBack with a new design. Although this HOME button is in the screen, it can be realized by long press, but it also retains the function of touching back, making the points in this screen operate in the same way as before, and retaining the good operation experience of mBack.
Meizu V8 provides three suitable background switching modes, all of which are based on gesture operation. Gesture operation is another operation mode that Meizu Flyme system brings good interaction besides the HOME button. Swiping up to start the application background is familiar to Meizu users. The newly added horizontal sliding bottom bar switches background tasks, and long press the blank area of the bottom bar to slide with your finger.
Gesture navigation
The gesture navigation brought by Meizu V8 mainly realizes three functions: HOME button, return and application background. After gesture navigation, the off-screen horizontal line on Meizu V8 will disappear, and all operations in the navigation bar will become gesture operations. Although Meizu V8' s off-screen horizontal line has excellent operation experience, it will occupy screen space. Now gesture navigation just solves these problems one by one.
▲ Gesture navigation settings
▲ Gesture navigation
Gesture navigation on Meizu V8 mainly provides three functions, namely, short sliding upward at the bottom of the screen to realize the return function, long sliding upward at the bottom of the screen to realize the HOME button function, and pausing to realize the application background function after long sliding at the bottom of the screen. Meizu's original function of sliding up the bottom of the screen to realize the application background has been cancelled, and users need some time to get used to the new operation.

As can be seen from the proofs, Meizu V8 with dual cameras has a very good photo effect, and it is quite rare for the hundred-yuan function to have such a blurred effect. Firstly, the fuzzy matting algorithm is improved, and the matting of the subject edge position is more accurate. Secondly, the blur effect of Jiao Wai is more natural, closer to the blur effect of camera lens, and the blur effect is more natural and beautiful.

In the case of sufficient light, the photo effect of Meizu V8 high version is quite guaranteed, the picture is clean, there is no obvious smear, and the color reproduction is not bright, which is close to natural color. Thanks to HDR technology, Meizu V8 High Edition has performed well in backlight photography. After HDR is turned on, the details of the picture can be more abundant, and the light and dark performance can be more in place. It is really rare for a hundred yuan mobile phone to have such image quality performance. After all, many hundred-dollar mobile phones now only pursue configuration, often ignoring taking pictures. Meizu V8' s low-light shooting effect at night is relatively general, with accurate metering and color, but noise control and detail smearing need to be improved. Meizu V8 is positioned as a 100-yuan mobile phone. Of course, there is a certain gap between the photo experience and high-end products, but the overall photo quality still belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the same price mobile phone.
Test summary: international explosion Meizu good products
Meizu V8 may be Charm Blue 8. Meizu and Charm Blue brand will continue to use Meizu brand for the low-end market, but many designs, hardware configurations and even some things on the system still have a lot of charm blue shadows.
