▲ Meizu PRO6 Plus evaluation: Li Nan, the flagship of humiliation, announced earlier that Meizu will not launch a mobile phone equipped with a Samsung processor this year, mainly because Samsung does not have a full netcom baseband. Meizu's real performance flagship still depends on Samsung's next-generation flagship processor, at least until the second and third quarters of next year. Meizu did launch PRO 6 Plus with Samsung's 8890 processor, and it was released on 20 16. I do feel a little cheated, but it's also a good thing. The expected Meizu performance flagship was released in advance on 20 16, and perhaps Meizu realized that they needed a real flagship machine. It has been 14 months since Meizu PRO 5, a mobile phone equipped with Samsung processor, was released to PRO 6 Plus.
▲ Meizu PRO 6 Plus finally used the Samsung Exynos 8890 processor. The release of Meizu PRO 6 Plus is also a bit hasty. Although some gossip leaked before, it did not attract attention. Judging from Meizu's security measures, there is really no leak. We estimate that Meizu does have this PRO 6 Plus plan on the one hand, but it has not been finalized because Samsung 8890 does not support full netcom. On the other hand, combined with the publicity of Samsung Exyons processor in Weibo, we can see that Samsung processor has plans to follow Qualcomm MediaTek to become a CPU supplier of mobile phones, and through years of in-depth cooperation with Meizu, it has contributed to the release of Meizu PRO 6 Plus.

In terms of hardware configuration, Meizu PRO 6 Plus adopts Samsung Exynos 8890 processor.
Exynos 8890 has four M 1 cores and four A53 cores, and adopts Samsung's own architecture. Using Samsung's own 14nm manufacturing process, the power control is excellent. Meizu PRO 6 Plus
Exynos 8890 is used in two storage versions.
The processor frequency is also different. 128GB version uses 2.3GHz Exynos 8890 processor, and 64GB version uses 2.0GHz Exynos 8890 processor.
Exynos 8890 processor.
The screen adopts a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a screen resolution of 2560x 1440, which is also commonly known as 2K screen. Meizu also said last year that it would not launch a mobile phone with a 2K screen due to power consumption, while PRO 6 Plus used a 2K screen. On the one hand, Meizu PRO 6 Plus adopts Super AMOLED screen, which can effectively control power consumption. On the other hand, battery technology has been well developed this year, and the battery capacity of mobile phones has been improved to provide better endurance performance. Meizu PRO 6 Plus used
5.7-inch screen, 2K resolution of 5 18PPI,
The details displayed on the screen are definitely better than 1080P.
▲ Meizu PRO 6 Plus still uses the IMX386 sensor camera with the same configuration as Meizu PRO 6s. Sony IMX386 sensor,12 million pixels, single pixel area 1.25um, 6P lens group, four-axis anti-shake and annular 10LED fill light. The front-facing 5 megapixel camera supports ArcSoft beauty algorithm and intelligently adjusts the face brightness of facae.
▲ Meizu PRO 6 Plus adopts Type-C interface and supports 60w fast-charging battery. The new 3400mAh fast-charging battery is more expensive and has a life of 900 cycles, which is twice that of ordinary batteries. Meizu PRO 6 Plus supports mCharge fast charging, adopts USB Type-C interface, and the redesigned charging cable can support up to 60w charging, and adds active protection device for high-temperature short circuit, which makes charging safer.
On the network side, Meizu PRO 6 Plus uses Samsung.
Exynos 8890 processor limits the function of full netcom,
Exynos 8890 processor has no full netcom baseband, and can only support TD-LTE and FDD-LTE networks, 4-mode 16 frequency, dual card dual standby, and 4G/3G/2G networks of China Mobile Unicom. Unfortunately, Meizu PRO 6 Plus does not support full netcom. After all, there are many users using China Telecom. There is no CMDA baseband outside Meizu PRO 6 Plus, which may be due to power consumption considerations.
▲ Meizu PRO 6 Plus's HOME button integrates the heart rate detection function. The NFC function of Meizu PRO 6 Plus returns. Built-in NFC function can support various mobile payment applications and provide transportation card recharge function. Although these functions are rarely used, it is really convenient to have NFC. Meizu PRO 6 Plus also supports mTouch fingerprint recognition, which adds the attributes of Meizu PRO series such as heart rate detection function, screen 3D pressing pressure sensing, and integrated HiFi new products.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus appearance: feel improved
Looking at the appearance, Meizu mobile phone products have produced a lot this year, but there are really too few that can make people shine. The main thing is that the design is too similar. Although the Meizu PRO 6 Plus released this time still has the iconic Meizu face, it can be distinguished from the previous products in terms of the waistline of the fuselage and some details. Let's analyze the appearance of this phone.
On the front of the fuselage, Meizu PRO 6 Plus uses a 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 2560* 1440. Its border is not particularly narrow, but it is properly controlled and maintains a high screen ratio. The front also adopts the full-fit 2.5D glass technology, which optimizes the edge grip and brings a good impression.
At the bottom of the front, seeing this Home button, I believe many people recognize this as a Meizu mobile phone at a glance. The mBack button, which simplifies three buttons, has become the symbolic design of Meizu. Not only is it visually simple, but the operation logic of "Touch Back and Press Back to Desktop" is also very convenient and easy to use. In addition, mBack has supported the fingerprint payment of WeChat and Alipay, which improves the practicality.
On the back of the fuselage, Meizu PRO 6 Plus is an all-metal fuselage, and the upper and lower nano-injection belts adopt the same design as MX6. Compared with the common bar design on ordinary mobile phones, it not only ensures the antenna signal, but also optimizes the look and feel. This makes the metal fuselage as the main body account for a larger proportion and better integration.
The camera of Meizu PRO 6 Plus slightly protrudes from the back of the fuselage, and a metal ring is designed around the camera, which reduces the risk of lens wear. Meizu PRO 6 Plus has also added CD pattern processing to the camera, which has better gloss and more texture.
In addition, Meizu PRO 6 Plus reshaped the waistline of the fuselage. Micro-arc design of floating design. Compared with the previous Meizu mobile phone, Meizu PRO 6 Plus will look more "square" as a whole, and the outline of the fuselage will be more three-dimensional and not as round as before. But at the same time, the radian treatment of the edge makes it have the best of both worlds without sacrificing the grip.
"summary
Meizu PRO 6 Plus embodies the design essence of Meizu mobile phone in appearance, with simple appearance and comfortable grip. But at the same time, it was further optimized in the last round of general design, which ensured a good grip and took into account the visual beauty. It's a beautiful thing with high value. "Exynos 8890 processor: the flagship CPU with high performance.
On the processor side, from the earliest MX series to the newly built PRO 5 last year, Meizu has always had the tradition of using Samsung Exynos processor in its flagship products. PRO 6 released at the beginning of the year was limited by processor capacity, network standards and other reasons, and Samsung's flagship chip Exynos 8890 was not selected, which made many charm friends feel sorry. Half a year passed, and we called a thousand times to urge her to move closer to us. Meizu PRO 6 Plus made up for this regret and became the first domestic model of Exynos 8890. In this part of the article, we will interpret this Exynos 8890 to some extent.
It should be noted that Meizu PRO 6 Plus*** has two versions, namely 4GB+64GB version and 4GB+ 128GB version. Although both use Exynos 8890 processor, there are still some differences in core frequency and GPU. Let's make a simple summary through the table. This evaluation version is 4Gb+64GB version, and all the running score data is also based on this.

Exynos 8890 is Samsung's flagship processor. Compared with the previous exynos products based on ARM common architecture design and requiring external baseband, Exynos 8890 fully integrates independent architecture and self-developed baseband, and is a real mobile terminal SoC. Launched for the first time in Samsung's annual flagship Galaxy S7/S7 edge (International Edition), it also reflects Samsung's accumulation in the field of semiconductor design and manufacturing in recent years to some extent.

Shannon 355 supports CAT. 12/ 13.
Back to the parameters, Exynos 8890 adopts its latest 14nm FinFET process technology, and has four Cortex-A53 small cores with the main frequency of 1.5GHz and four independently developed Mongoose cores with the main frequency of 2.3GHz, forming a common size. Small design, and assign different core tasks according to different tasks, taking into account performance and power consumption. It supports LPDDR4 memory and UFS 2.0 flash memory, integrates Mali-T880 MP 12 graphics processor and self-developed Shannon 335 baseband, and supports LTE Cat. 12/ 13 standard (the same level as X 12 LTE modem of Xiaolong 820). Next, focus on the mongoose self-developed architecture, Mali-T880 MP 12 GPU, Shannon 335 baseband for further interpretation.
Mongoose self-developed building
In the research and development of independent architecture, Samsung actually began to realize it as early as 20 1 1, and now the mongoose architecture has finally blossomed. Mongoose architecture is designed by Samsung based on ARMv8-A instruction set, which optimizes the original code, is more innovative in resource scheduling and allocation mechanism, enhances the performance of multi-task/process, and better improves the utilization efficiency of multi-core. According to Samsung's official data, the performance of Exynos 8890 is 30% higher than that of Exynos 7420, and the performance ratio is increased by 10%.
▲ Based on the 64GB version, of course, the significance of autonomous architecture lies not only in better performance and power consumption, but also in an interesting stalk: mongoose means mongoose, and the autonomous architecture that helps Qualcomm dominate is Krait, which means golden ring snake, and mongoose happens to be the natural enemy of golden ring snake. I'm afraid everyone understands this idea.
Mali-T880 MP 12 GPU
Graphic processing performance is the key improvement of Exynos 8890. Compared with Mali-T760 MP8 of Exynos 7420, Exynos 8890 upgraded the GPU architecture to Mali-T880, which improved the performance by 1.8 times and the energy efficiency by 40%. Native 10 color difference supports high fidelity 4K display, and there are more new generation graphics APIs. That's not enough. Exynos 8890 has four more cores (4GB+64GB version has two cores), reaching the 12 core (10 core), and the performance improvement is quite obvious compared with any previous Meizu product. However, the version of Mali-T880 MP 10 in our hand still has a certain gap with Adreno 530 of Xiaolong 820.
Shannon 335 baseband
In terms of baseband, Samsung's Exynos 8890 has built-in self-developed Shannon 335 baseband, which is similar to Xiaolong 820 and also supports LTE Cat. 12/ 13 standard. The theoretical download speed is increased to 600Mbps, and the upload speed is 150Mbps. However, compared with Qualcomm's X 12 LTE modem, it lacks support for CDMA network, so it is not a full netcom baseband, which is a big weakness of Exynos 8890. Based on this, Meizu PRO 6 Plus only supports 4-mode 16 frequency.
It should be said that Exynos 8890 is definitely a veritable flagship processor this year. Compared with MediaTek Helio X25 processor used by Meizu, it has an all-round improvement. The only regret is that the baseband lacks support for CDMA networks. Fortunately, Samsung has made a technological breakthrough and authorization in CDMA. The next generation Exynos flagship processor will be the property of Netcom, and Meizu's next generation PRO is also expected to be equipped.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus endurance performance
Meizu PRO 6 Plus adopts a new fast-charging battery with 3400mAh, which can provide 900 charge and discharge cycles, twice as much as ordinary batteries, and adopts a newly designed data cable to provide active protection against temperature and short circuit. Meizu PRO 6 Plus supports mCharge fast charging. The standard chargers for mobile phones are PRO 6 and PRO 6s, which provide three charging specifications: 5V3A, 8V3A and 12V2A, and the maximum charging power is 24w. In addition, Meizu PRO 6 Plus supports USB Type-C and USB PD fast charging protocols, which can provide up to 60w charging power. This requires users to purchase a charger that supports USB PD separately.
Test the endurance of Meizu PRO 6 Plus with PCmark. PCmark simulates daily use, providing web browsing, video editing, picture editing and simulation testing of office applications. It can be seen that Meizu PRO 6 Plus uses a 3400mAh battery, and the power consumption changes from 100% to 20% demand10hr31min. During the test, the screen brightness is adjusted to 100%, and the system runs in balanced mode.
What is the concept of 10 hour and 30 minutes? Charm Blue MAX has a 4000mAh battery and a 6-inch screen. The score of PCmark test is 10 hour and 38 minutes, while Meizu PRO 6 Plus only has a battery of 3400mAh. It is quite rare to run out of 10 hour and 3/kloc-0 minute with a 2K screen. On the one hand, 14nm Samsung 8890 processor brings lower power consumption, on the other hand, Meizu Flyme system is deeply optimized, so that 3400mAh battery runs out of 4000mAh battery.
Let's take a look at the temperature performance. PCmark test is a comprehensive performance test with medium and high strength. It can be seen that the temperature of Meizu PRO 6 Plus PCmark is about 30 degrees at room temperature of 20 degrees, and the temperature has not changed much during the whole test. The manufacturing technology of Samsung 8890 processor 14nm can not only enhance the endurance of mobile phones, but also reduce the temperature of CPU and the calorific value of mobile phones.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus system: Flyme6 still needs to wait.
Although Flyme 6 has been officially released, it will take some time for users to experience it officially. Meizu PRO 6 Plus is not equipped with the latest Flyme 6 system, but chooses the version of Flyme 5.2.7.0A system based on Android 6.0. 1 This version basically draws a satisfactory conclusion for Flyme 5, which means that most new functions will not be added in the future, but its underlying optimization degree has reached a peak, and its stability has also reached a peak.
When Meizu just released Flyme 5, I was deeply impressed by its smooth operation experience and card design concept. In the subsequent version iteration process, Flyme 5. 1 introduced iconic functions such as scanning cover and map navigation; Flyme 5.2 continues to dig deep into the pain points of users and adds convenient functions such as long screen shots and floating balls. On the whole, today's Flyme system has long been built into a classic, which is very mature in terms of functionality, aesthetics, fluency and stability, and is easily accepted by the general public.
The experience of Flyme 5.2 equipped with Meizu PRO 6 Plus is slightly different from other models. Because the mobile phone has added the 3D press function, there is an additional "press" operation mode. In fact, this function has been implemented on Meizu PRO 6. Now Meizu PRO 6 Plus retains this function and is compatible with more third-party applications, allowing users to get a more convenient experience.
According to the test, most commonly used software is already compatible with 3D Press. These include Taobao, JD.COM, Public Comment, Youku, Today Headline, Weibo and so on. Although there are more and more mobile phones supporting pressure screens, most consumers don't know much about this function. In fact, the addition of 3D Press function can make users realize their desired functions faster, thus achieving the purpose of reducing operation steps.
But this function has a misunderstanding for most consumers. Usually, the user presses an icon on the screen and then clicks an option in the menu. Although this operation is simple, it requires two steps: pressing and clicking. If the user presses the icon, moves his finger directly to the target option, and then releases it, he can always enter the application in one step. This reflects the convenience of 3D Press function.
It is worth mentioning that the Flyme 5.2.7.0A system of Meizu PRO 6 Plus enriches the functions of the toolbox, adding pedometer and heart rate test. We can see that Meizu has begun to pay attention to the recent hot sports and health problems. In addition, users can download the LifeKit software in the software store, which can bind smart devices in the family, control and collect user data, get the analysis results, and tell users the health information they need.
▲ Add a step counting plug-in to the desktop.
▲ Meizu PRO 6 Plus has built-in heart rate detection function.
▲ The pedometer function added to the toolbox benefits from the improvement of hardware performance, and the user experience of Meizu PRO 6 Plus is better than Meizu PRO 6. The startup speed of the application and the fluency of multi-task switching have been obviously improved. In addition, the optimization of endurance is also worthy of recognition. Under the background that domestic software is waking up in series, Flyme can still guarantee stable standby time and lasting battery life.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus photo: still excellent IMX386.
Meizu PRO 6 Plus is equipped with IMX 386 sensor jointly customized by Meizu and Sony. It inherits the configuration of Pro series ring flash and laser focus sensor, and adds four-axis optical image stabilization, which is the strongest camera configuration of Meizu's current products. In addition, Meizu also pays special attention to this camera in appearance, wrapping it with exquisite round CD lines, which shows a good sense of quality.
Of course, the performance of imaging still needs the support of hard power, especially this Sony IMX 386 sensor, as an upgraded version of IMX 286, was installed on MX6 for the first time, and the PRO 6s released in the early stage was also installed. This time, we continue to adopt PRO 6 Plus, which shows Meizu's confidence in it. In terms of sensor parameters, the photosensitive size is maintained at 1/2.9 inches,120,000 pixels, and the single pixel size reaches 1.25μm, which caters to the current technical trend of large pixels and high sensitivity. Theoretically, the color expression will be richer and the dark light expression will be strengthened. Below we will explain it in detail through the sample.
In terms of daytime shooting, Meizu PRO 6 Plus is exposed accurately, and the white balance is also biased towards true restoration.
Meizu PRO 6 Plus supports12 megapixel image output. After the original film is enlarged by 100%, the honeycomb pattern on the street sign font can be clearly seen without obvious smear marks.
When shooting self-luminous objects, the brightness of Meizu PRO 6 Plus light source is properly controlled, which makes the internal structure of the lamp and the dust on the glass surface appear. In the lamp holder part, the above patterns can also be clearly presented, reflecting a good picture tolerance.
In the camera experience, the focus of Meizu PRO 6 Plus also has a good performance. The configuration of laser focus and relative focus makes the whole imaging process go in one go without procrastination. Especially at macro, laser focusing makes up for the disadvantages of traditional focusing methods at close range, making focusing more realistic and the details and outlines of the focused object clearer.
Although the aperture of Meizu PRO 6 Plus is not prominent in current mobile phones, especially some flagship models have risen to the level of F 1.8 and F 1.7, frankly speaking, the aperture performance of Meizu PRO 6 Plus is not inferior to others, especially the background blur effect, which makes it easier to shoot so-called "sharp cream" works compared with other models with the aperture of F2.0.
In terms of night shooting, Meizu PRO 6 Plus has a four-axis optical anti-shake blessing. In short, this technology is to correct the position of the lens group through the motor, so as to offset the jitter in the process of taking pictures and obtain a more stable picture. In night shooting, the significance of its application lies in that it can adopt the exposure strategy of long shutter and low ISO to ensure the light input and obtain a purer picture. The following is the night sample.
In terms of actual performance, the picture purity of Meizu PRO 6 Plus is good. On the one hand, the noise is well suppressed. On the other hand, through the enlarged part, the lines and fonts of the plaque are not excessively smeared, and the whole plaque is clean. We also know that Exynos 8890 is equipped with a brand-new ISP, which has made targeted improvements in noise reduction. In addition, due to the newly built six lens groups, PRO 6 Plus also controls glare well.
Generally speaking, Meizu is becoming more and more mature in the adjustment of IMX 386. With a more powerful ISP and hardware, the PRO 6 Plus camera did not disappoint.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus Test Summary: The Real Flagship in Meizu Users' Eyes"
Meizu launched PRO 6 Plus this time, which can be regarded as Meizu's real performance flagship. The Samsung 8890 processor brings strong performance, and it uses a 5.7-inch 2K screen, which brings more delicate picture quality. The configuration of Meizu PRO 6 Plus also reflects the properties of its PRO series everywhere, including NFC, 3D Press, heart rate detection, HiFi and so on. These designs,
All meet the requirements of loyal and charming friends.
. The return of Samsung 8890 processor and 2K resolution screen is also the real flagship of Meizu that many Meizu users expect. It also changes the reality that Meizu only has MediaTek processor mobile phones this year, and enhances the image and product cohesion of Meizu products. But then again, Meizu rushed to launch PRO 6 Plus, perhaps because of the pressure of public opinion, because all the machines of Meizu used MediaTek's CPU this year, but MediaTek failed to produce a decent flagship product this year. In fact, everyone is also looking forward to Meizu's real performance flagship, pinning all their hopes on Samsung 8890. Meizu launched PRO 6 Plus, using Samsung 8890, using 2K screen, using LPDDR4 memory and using USF2.0 memory chip. It is really strong, but it feels like a heap configuration. As the flagship mobile phone, PRO 6 Plus has no curved screen, dual cameras and full netcom. Unfortunately, it is still relatively large. Everyone is expecting Meizu to launch a real flagship, not a MediaTek machine. After waiting for half a year, a flagship PRO 6 Plus came.
Perhaps the real flagship of Meizu will have to wait until next year's PRO 7. I hope Meizu can make up for the shortcomings of PRO 6 Plus, with curved screen, full netcom and dual cameras. We need Meizu's flagship mobile phone, a perfect flagship mobile phone.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus Advantage
"Samsung 8890 processor:
Meizu PRO 6 Plus uses Samsung 8890 processor, which greatly improves the performance of Helio X25 processor compared with PRO 6 and PRO 6s, and the large memory of 4GB brings excellent performance.
"2K resolution screen
Meizu PRO 6 Plus uses a Super AMOLED screen with 2K resolution. The return of 2K screen brings better screen display effect and finer picture quality. After the power consumption problem of 2K screen was solved, 2K resolution screen was once again favored by Meizu.
"Excellent feel.
Meizu PRO 6 Plus adopts the micro-arc design of suspension design, redesigns the fuselage curve, and adds a 2.5D glass screen, so the face value has also been improved, and the feel has also been improved. The high screen ratio and narrow bezel design make the 5.7-inch screen phone feel like a 5.5-inch body.
"12 megapixel IMX386 sensor.
Meizu PRO 6 Plus adopts the same IMX386 sensor as Meizu PRO 6s, and adopts 6P lens camera design, which supports four-axis anti-shake and greatly improves the camera effect.
"NFC, HiFi, 3D Press, heart rate monitoring.
NFC returning to Meizu PRO 6 Plus is a very practical function. In the era of mobile payment popularization, Meizu PRO 6 Plus can also support NFC payment and transportation card recharge. HiFi, 3D pressing, heart rate detection and other functions have become the standard of Meizu PRO series, providing users with a better experience.
"Meizu PRO 6 Plus is insufficient.
"Does not support full netcom.
Meizu PRO 6 Plus uses Samsung 8890 processor and does not integrate CDMA baseband, so Meizu PRO 6 Plus can only support dual 4G, which is really a pity for telecom users. However, Meizu PRO 6 Plus can support China Telecom's 4G network. Users can use China Telecom's 4G card to surf the Internet, but they can't make phone calls. In the future, after China Telecom opens VoLTE, users can make phone calls with telecom cards, which can also be regarded as the "narrow sense" of the whole Netcom.
