All Meizu phones - Full list and comparison of characteristics. All Meizu phones - Full list and comparison of characteristics Meizu smartphones


Meizu products were initially in demand among us, when the Russian consumer tried the right Chinese quality and the right prices. Then the company was pushed forward by Xiaomi with its even more attractive pricing policy and Dragon processors. Now Meizu has reconsidered her views on the smartphone industry and is focusing on design, cameras, individual features and convenience achieved by using innovative technologies such as recording the force of pressing or the mBack button.

We have collected for you best smartphones from Meizu in the budget, mid-range and premium segments. These are proven models that are worth their price.

The best inexpensive Meizu smartphones: budget up to 10,000 rubles.

Despite the fact that Meizu is a Chinese company, its products cannot be called too cheap. Yes, the price/performance ratio is simply excellent, and even top-end devices are relatively inexpensive, but ultra budget smartphones not in the company's line-up. The cost of phones starts at about 8 thousand rubles.

4 Meizu M6 16GB

Cool screen
Country: China
Average price: 7939 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Chic inexpensive smartphone. For seven thousand rubles you get 5.2 inches IPS matrices with HD resolution, 13MP camera, eight-core processor (yes, on the Media Library), convenient one-button control. All necessary sensors are available: light, proximity, gyroscope and compass, fingerprint scanner. This is the best device for those who love Meiza and are looking for something budget-friendly for surfing the Internet, using social networks, casual games and photography.

In reviews, users complain about the quality of photos in conditions poor lighting, especially those taken with the front camera, and also complain about only HD resolution at 5.2 inches. Considering the price, all the shortcomings of the smartphone are natural and forgivable.

3 Meizu M5c

Best price
Country: China
Average price: 8,310 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.4

The M5c model is the most affordable in the class of budget devices. But this accessibility imposes a number of restrictions. First of all, you should pay attention to the plastic case. It gets scratched quite quickly even with careful use. And it doesn't feel so nice in the hand. The second significant drawback is lower productivity. The processor is somewhat weaker than its competitors, the RAM is only 2 GB, the internal memory is 16 GB. Buyers in their reviews claim that the interface works without problems, but it’s better not to think about heavy applications and games. Another disadvantage is the lack of a fingerprint scanner, which the other two participants have.

In the end, is the phone bad? Not really. Considering the price tag, we have an excellent contender for the role inexpensive smartphone. It is worse only when compared with its comrades on the brand.

Advantages:

  • Lowest cost
  • Good build quality

Flaws:

  • All performance indicators are slightly lower than competitors

2 Meizu M5 32Gb

Largest amount of built-in memory
Country: China
Average price: RUB 10,876.
Rating (2019): 4.5

The M5 can hardly be called the best in all respects. The appearance is the same as the M5c discussed above, which means all the shortcomings are the same. The only difference is the slightly increased dimensions due to the screen being increased to 5.2 inches. Although the resolution remains the same - 1280x720 pixels. There are also not many internal differences, but only when compared with the M5s. The processor performance differs little, volume random access memory– the same 3 GB, but the video processor is slightly more powerful. Although you can still play either casual games or serious games on minimal graphics settings. Even the amount of built-in storage is the same - 32 GB. Overall, the device is not bad, but the price is higher than the M5s, and the plastic body is a mess...

Advantages:

  • Large amount of built-in memory
  • Good performance
  • Good image quality in normal lighting

Flaws:

  • Plastic body that gets scratched quickly

Most often, Meizu products are compared with its fellow countryman – Xiaomi. Both companies quickly gained momentum and gathered a huge army of fans. And, of course, disputes between these armies will never subside over whose idol is better. We will not take the side of one manufacturer or another, but will simply collect the pros and cons of each of them in a table.

pros

Minuses

Design. Budget models look slightly better than competitors in the same price range

Sales begin on a larger scale, and therefore it is easier to buy a new product at the start of sales

Great sound in headphones. Flagship smartphones are equipped with a DAC, which provides excellent sound.

Better image quality in budget and mid-range classes

Branded mTouch button, combining a fingerprint scanner, physical and touch keys

Chipsets from MediaTek. Top-end Meizu smartphones are equipped with excellent processors from Samsung, but the entry-level and mid-range ones are based on mediocre MediaTek SoCs.

Similar models are slightly more expensive than Xiaomi

Lower prices, better price/performance ratio

Own ecosystem. Xiaomi has a huge number of others smart devices, and they work especially well with their smartphones

Powerful filling

The presence of an infrared port in almost all models

A large number of component suppliers, which is why the quality “dances” a little

A large number of flaws in the OS (for example, the well-known problem of notifications not arriving)

What's the result? You cannot choose only Meizu or only Xiaomi. Both companies have successful and failed smartphones, as well as proprietary features and famous shortcomings. As usual, the choice depends more on the buyer's personal preferences.

1 Meizu M5s 16Gb

Best performance in a metal case
Country: China
Average price: 8,500 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Here is the best Meizu in the budget class. First of all, the M5s model stands out for its metal body, which is good news. This advantage is also mentioned in many customer reviews. Secondly, the filling is pleasing. MediaTek MT6753 can hardly be called a performance monster, but it’s enough for the quick operation of the interface and applications. Moreover, the 32GB version has as much as 3GB of RAM installed (in the version with 16 GB of RAM there is only 2 GB of RAM). The device does not shine in games: casual games run without problems, but serious games can only be played on minimum graphics settings, and sometimes there can be stuttering.

The cameras pleased me. The 5 MP front camera shoots just fine for its price. The main camera performs well only in sufficient light. It remains to add the low cost to the above, and we get an excellent phone.

Advantages:

  • Low cost
  • Metal body
  • Excellent performance for this class
  • Good front camera

The best Meizu smartphones with a large screen: budget up to 15,000 rubles.

Large displays in smartphones are all the rage these days. Nowadays no one is surprised that a 5-inch device is called “mini”. And this is quite logical, because in recent years the percentage of people who consume content from a smartphone screen has been growing at an incredible pace. Moreover, the larger the screen, the more comfortable it is to watch videos or play games. Meizu’s assortment, of course, has many large devices, but we have selected for you only relatively inexpensive models.

3 Meizu M6 Note 3/32GB

Powerful battery
Country: China
Average price: 13,751 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Model with Full HD, dual camera and a large 4000 mAh battery. In reviews, users express positive impressions of using the camera: the frames come out bright, juicy and clear. Some people are confused by the bokeh effect - it looks strange. Macro photography is ok, autofocus does not fail. The main drawback of the model is the insufficiently bright screen. Out of the box, the phone's display may tend towards warm shades - this can be treated by correcting it with a blue bias in the settings. Smartphone owners are also dissatisfied with the quality of the coating - it quickly collects scratches.

The performance is pleasing - the Meizu company decided to experiment again with the Dragon, so here, to the delight of users, there is a fast eight-core Snapdragon 625. A bonus is fast charging, which charges the smartphone by 50% in half an hour.

2 Meizu M5 Note 32 Gb

Best camera
Country: China
Average price: RUB 15,494.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The M5 Note smartphone is the successor to the previous participant in the rating. And, of course, this model is slightly better. The appearance remains the same down to the smallest detail - even the dimensions differ by only a couple of tenths of a millimeter. The screen is the same 5.5’ display with FullHD resolution, but the contrast is higher, which is noticeable to the naked eye. also in better side cameras have changed. There are no changes in numbers (13 megapixels, aperture 2.2), but the pictures are much better. In the dark there is not much noise, and in daylight, with straight hands, you get simply excellent pictures.

But in terms of productivity, progress is not noticeable, and this is extremely sad. It is also worth considering that there are several modifications of the smartphone: 16 and 32 GB models are equipped with 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB version – 4 GB. Finally, it is worth noting the presence fast charging, thanks to which a 4000 mAh battery is charged in just 1.5 hours.

Advantages:

  • Great camera
  • Higher contrast display
  • The 64GB version has the largest amount of RAM
  • Fast charging

Flaws:

  • I would like more performance

1 Meizu M6s 64GB

Large amount of permanent memory
Country: China
Average price: 12,400 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

A device that lures buyers with its convenient virtual mTouch button, replacing three standard Android buttons. Another plus for the M6s is the processor from Samsung, and not the throttling Mediatek. There is a 5.7-inch diagonal with HD+ resolution and a fashionable 18:9 aspect ratio. Both cameras shoot decently for this price segment: both the main one with 16 megapixels and the front one with 8 megapixels. This phone from Meizu has received universal approval from users.

The main complaints in the reviews concern the need to choose between a second SIM card and a memory card. But the quality of the photos, the fast and conveniently located side scanner, the stylish, expensive-looking design and the user-friendly Flyme shell evoke so much delight.

The best flagship smartphones from Meizu

The vast majority of smartphone manufacturers have a clear division of devices into classes. The division is banal, according to cost - budget, middle and top classes. Of course, Meizu is no exception, so let's look at the most powerful, beautiful and expensive models of their production.

3 Meizu Pro 7 64GB

Two screens
Country: China
Average price: 23290 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5

On the back of the device there is a small colored touch screen. It doesn’t add much functionality; it’s only convenient to look at the time, track notifications and pedometer indicators. But it is unusual, beautiful and show-off. You can also use it to take selfies with the main camera.

In reviews, users note the excellent photo quality (there is a dual-module main camera), luxury appearance and amazingly high-quality deep sound. There’s nothing to criticize the screen for – it’s a bright AMOLED, contrasty and clear. Problems - no NFC, no ability to connect a memory card, not enough powerful battery(maximum two days). Some other users also complain about Meizu's rough-hewn Flyme shell and the modest performance of Mediatek's chipset.

2 Meizu 15 4/64GB

Best camera
Country: China
Average price: 31010 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Fans of this smartphone claim that with its dual-module camera of 12 and 20 megapixels, it takes pictures no worse than the iPhone X and the flagship from Samsung. This is quite similar to the truth, since there is a cool laser autofocus here, optical stabilization and three(!)x optical zoom. A conventionally frameless design with a button under the screen and a body clad in ceramic acts magnetically, attracting customers.

Top processor, water protection, contactless module NFC payment- there is none of this here. There is a fast, but not the most productive Snapdragon 660 chipset, 4 GB of RAM, fast charging and a battery with a modest capacity of 3000 mAh, a fingerprint scanner and a facial recognition function. The screen is worthy of praise - it is a Samsung development. It is not clear how the manufacturer “forgot” to install NFC in its flagship - this is a serious mistake. Overall, this is a good alternative for those who don't have enough money for the latest Galaxy or who are fundamentally against Apple.

1 Meizu 16th 6/64Gb

Model for perfectionists
Country: China
Average price: 32,000 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

A smartphone with ideal proportions. “Meizu” did not bend to the trends: it did not attach an “eyebrow” to the screen and did not remove the audio jack. The engineers made equal indentations at the top and bottom, and synchronized the position of the connectors and buttons. A chic 6-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ and an aspect ratio of 18 to 9 is equipped with a fingerprint scanner. Yes, the sensor is located directly below the screen. The fly in the ointment is that the finger must be placed in a strictly designated place, and the response speed is lower than that of competitors. But the scanner is accurate. There is also face unlocking, which works even in the dark.

A small but significant plush is a separate vibration motor that works pleasantly and softly. The vaunted mBack button has evolved into an on-screen navigation bar. There are also gestures and standard navigation keys. The performance is excellent, because it has a top-end Snapdragon 845 processor. The main disadvantage of the new product is the lack of NFC. Also, the device is not pleased with its autonomy - with moderate active use it lasts a day on a single charge.

Known for its gadgets in the middle and upper price segment. They are characterized by good performance, high quality screens and cameras.

So, the models included in the TOP

Last place the model ranks in our rating Meizu M5s . Quite decent equipment for a device whose estimated price is 14-15 thousand rubles. Characteristic features include a metal body, 2.5 D glass and support for fast charging.

Below is the assessment of this device by our editors website


On line 5 – smartphone Meizu U20 . A model in the middle price segment, costs about 12-14 thousand rubles. The design of the device is somewhat different from the usual look of Meizu gadgets. 2.5 D glass is located on both sides of the body and framed in a metal frame.


Pros of the model:
  • 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1080x1920.
  • The MediaTek Helio P10 processor provides sufficient performance for this price segment.

  • High-quality 13-megapixel camera with autofocus.
  • Wide-angle selfie camera.
  • Work in 4G LTE networks.
  • The battery capacity of 3260 mAh provides sufficient autonomy.
Cons of Meizu U20:



4th position smartphone ranks Meizu M3E , belonging to the upper part of the middle price segment. A metal case in five color options, fast RAM, support for fast charging - and a price of 17-18 thousand rubles.


The advantages of the model include:
  • Large amount of internal memory – 32 GB.
  • Large capacity battery (3100 mAh) supporting fast charging function.
  • Fast Internet access via 4G LTE networks.
  • Possibility of expanding internal memory up to 128 GB using microSD cards.
Among the disadvantages of Meizu M3E are:
  • Average camera quality for this price: noisy, not very good color rendition.
  • Modern games when running on maximum settings may slow down.




3rd position model ranks Meizu M3 Max – improved Meizu version M3E. Compared to its “younger brother”, the screen diagonal is larger, and the battery capacity is correspondingly increased. And, of course, the price of a smartphone is slightly higher - about 20 thousand rubles.


Pros of the device:
  • Extra wide 6-inch screen with 1080x1920 resolution.
  • Lots of RAM – 3 GB.

  • The smartphone is a bit heavy – 189 g.
  • Combined slot for memory cards and a second SIM card.



In 2nd place rating Meizu MX6 , very close to the segment of top-end devices. High-performance hardware, a high-contrast TDDI display, a fast main camera - all this justifies the rather high price of the gadget of 23 thousand rubles. At the same time, the lack of a memory card slot in the smartphone is somewhat depressing and surprising.


  • High-quality 5.5-inch screen with TDDI matrix.
  • 2.5 D glass.
  • Powerful 10-core MediaTek Helio X20 processor.
  • Large RAM – 4 GB.
  • Good fast camera.
  • Excellent build quality.
Negative qualities of Meizu MX6:
  • There is no possibility of expansion.
  • On a sunny day, the screen brightness is insufficient.
  • The small battery capacity (3060 mAh) does not provide adequate autonomy.



And finally tops our rating flagship of the lineup Meizu PRO 6 Plus . Finally an AMOLED display, a luxurious camera - but the used one is somewhat alarming Samsung processor Exynos 8 Octa 8890. However, the benchmarks show quite decent characteristics for the device. You can buy a smartphone for approximately 34 thousand rubles.


Positive qualities of the device:
  • Excellent 5.7-inch AMOLED display.
  • Lots of RAM – 4 GB.
  • High-quality 12-megapixel camera with excellent equipment.
  • 128 GB of internal memory is more than enough.
  • Fast battery charging function.
  • LTE standard support.
  • High quality sound reproduction.
Disadvantages of Meizu PRO 6 Plus:
  • The battery increased to 3400 mAh in comparison with Meizu PRO 6 is still not enough.
  • Not the best quality selfie camera.



To summarize, we can say that most of the Meizu models of 2016-2017 do not represent anything revolutionary or breakthrough. Rather, it is “work on the mistakes” made in past models, but done conscientiously and reliably.

The new models are high-quality devices without unnecessary pathos and untested innovations, well worth the money. Unfortunately, the general trend that forces large manufacturers of mobile gadgets to actively develop the segment of economy-class models has not affected Meizu: prices for their devices start from 10 thousand rubles.

The Chinese company Meizu is rapidly gaining popularity and competing with leading manufacturing companies mobile phones. After all, this company was able to combine everything that is so important for the consumer. Good build high performance device, beautiful design and reasonable price.

1st place – Meizu Pro 5

We described best phones of this company, according to buyers, but in all respects, the top and best Meizu smartphone is Pro 5. Many believe that this is generally the chosen Android device, which is why we want to take a closer look and talk about it.
Design

Let's not hide that from the very beginning the company tried to bring its design closer to Apple. The Pro 5 is no exception, which is very similar in its outline to the iPhone 6 Plus. Size, curved glass and even an oval button on the front panel. And who isn’t trying to rip off the iPhone design these days? But they have recently moved away from this trend and began to acquire their own individuality.


Display
In no way inferior to top phone manufacturers. The picture quality is high: brightness, clarity, viewing angle.

Performance

Perhaps this is the most strong point of this instance. Powerful processor, which is also used by other top companies. The performance of this device is enough to keep the phone current in terms of power for 2-4 years. It will run any game and any application.
Camera
By purchasing this device, you don’t have to worry about the quality of the photo. Maximum amount pixels, six optical elements, fast and clear auto focus. As for the front camera, selfies will also turn out wonderful and beautiful.

Working hours

As we all know, a powerful display is responsible for the rapid discharge of the device. The Pro 5 has a very good display, but it is FullHD, which allows the battery to drain much more slowly. According to the tests, he “lived” for two days, despite the fact that he was at work almost all the time.
Software
Echoes of the iPhone are also found here: similar icons, menus and even gestures. If you climb everywhere, the similarity with iOS will be obvious.
Audio
Manufacturing companies mobile devices Lately people haven't been paying enough attention to their audio systems. We believe that this is not right, because music and sound are an integral part of our lives. But the company we are talking about today focused on sound and made the right decision. You can see for yourself, compare it even with the most expensive models and you will be surprised how much better it is.
Safety
The fingerprint scanner, which responds very quickly to touch, helps to be easy to use. And of course, it will protect you from outside attacks on your personal information and files.
