Charm Blue E2 full experience with Marquee's mobile performance

The smart phone market has long been an article in the Red Sea, and Meizu 2016 has grown in a contrarian fashion with 22 million units shipped throughout the year. It must be said that Meizu's new machine has actually driven a direct increase in sales volume, but it has caused no harm to the brand, and the words like “Blue Charm forever, P10 forever” have appeared frequently.

Fortunately, after the release of Charm Blue 5s in February 2017, all models in the 16th year were over. In my opinion, Charm Blue E2 is the first model officially released by Meizu in 2017. On the second day after the conference was over, I also got Charm Blue E2. The holiday was free and I stayed in my home for 72 hours. Blue E2 detailed test as everyone offers. A series of questions about flash, running points, photographing, and battery life will be answered in this article.

Unpacking & Appearance

Charm Blue E2 just released a few days, only to open the purchase of the first round, or to share with you under the charm blue E2 out of the box (PS: text charm Blue E2 is 4GB+64GB/ Moonlight Silver). As shown in the above figure, the Charm Blue E2 still uses a rectangular compact package containing a charm blue E2, card pin, warranty card, manual, 18W fast charging head and Micro-USB charging cable, um, still no headphones, need to be separate buy.

Charm Blue E2 positive continue to continue the family "high screen ratio + narrow border + mBack fingerprint recognition / payment key" design, but compared to the previous Meizu cell phone (including OV and other face machine), Charm Blue E2 is more square, rounded corners smaller. It may be that everyone does not feel that the 5.5-inch mobile phone is large. Therefore, reducing the arc may be a good choice.

Turn the body lightly, you can see the biggest change in this charm blue E2 lies behind. Meizu gave up the design of the back center camera + flash, but instead of the camera in the upper left corner + hidden flash, a total of four flash, "cold and warm" alternately, in addition to photoshop fill light, more suggestive function.

Various prompts can be turned on in [Setup]-[Accessibility]-[Flash Effect]. For example, when a call comes in, the flash will glow like a streamer. Even if the screen of the phone is face down and the silent mode is turned on, it will not miss important ones. Information, this design is really nice.

From the side you can see, Charm Blue E2 uses a full metal body molding the fuselage, the middle frame and back cover tightly fit, corners polished, exquisite detail; nano-injection process is a good solution to the contradiction between the signal and the metal body. Charm Blue E2 bottom of the fuselage from left to right are: headphone jack, charging port and speakers.

The appearance of Charm Blue E2 is more sturdy and mature than the previous Meizu phone, and its performance in all aspects is good. As the appearance of smartphones tends to be fixed, the Charm Blue E2 is only improved and adjusted in details; while the existence of the flash, it is a distinctive mobile phone.

Configuration & Running Points & Life

After watching the appearance, I believe that everyone is interested in more than Charm Blue E2's running points, after all, Meizu finally bid farewell to the P10 unchanged for thousands of years, began polishing P20 in 17 years. MediaTek P20 this processor, using A53 (2.3GHz) * 4 + A53 (1.6GHz) * 4 16nm eight-core architecture, and Qualcomm 625 this god core is almost. Take a look at the security Bunny's running points:

An Bunny gave a score of 59436 (Samsung C7 runs around 6.1W with Qualcomm's 625+4GB RAM), where the CPU detection section shows the core 0 full-fledged core and the rest of the core is in a sleep state. Since it is an eight-core, individuals think that the operation of a single core full frequency is not as good as the normal operation of the two cores. However, security Bunny has always been not very friendly to MediaTek. Let's take a look at the results given by GeekBench, another running software:

Equipped with MediaTek P20 Charm Blue E2 single-core running 951 (Quadcom 625 single-core running 942), multi-core running 4035 (high-pass 625 multi-core running 5129); standard, MediaTek P20 16nm support for LPDRR4X, Qualcomm 625 with 14nm support LPDRR3: In terms of the overall situation, these two Us can meet the normal user experience. Ordinary games (such as the King's Glory, wild rides, etc.) can run smoothly, and power saving is enough. GeekBench was used to test the Charm Blue E2 from 40% to 1%, the bright screen was 3 hours and 52 minutes, and the full power state was about 8 hours. This kind of battery life was really good for the 3400mAh Charm Blue E2.

Use Charm Blue E2 to watch an episode of "Selecting the Sky" (about 40 minutes). The screen brightness is automatically connected to the Wi-Fi/Card reader. The battery power is reduced from 100% to 97%. According to experience, the Charm Blue E2 uses one. There is absolutely no problem all day. Having such achievements Flyme system power-saving optimization and P20 power-saving capabilities, contributed.

Game experience

Say so much, may wish to come to a game to measure some. The author selects the Wild Rider 8 to test. From the video, it can be seen that the Charm Blue E2 fully restores the complex runway scene (light, explosion effect, rain, etc.), the game as a whole is quite smooth, and the P20 is large enough for the use of large-scale games. You can rest assured. In addition, the charm blue E2 game mode allows the phone to come in will not hinder your game, put aside to let you chat while playing games, quite awesome.

Photographing: To be continued to improve

The last part of the article we talk about the charm blue E2 photographed. First of all, it is concluded that the advantage of the Charm Blue E2 camera is its fast imaging speed, while the drawback is that the focusing speed, color reproduction capability and resolving power need to be improved. All along, Meizu's mobile phones are photographed on the way to catch up, and the MX6 flagship is still at a reasonable level. The Charm Blue E2 uses 13 million rear camera / F2.2 aperture / PDAF phase focus, the actual effect we see proofs speak:

In case of plenty of sunlight, the overall effect of the Charm Blue E2 camera is still good, especially the quick imaging experience when the shutter button is pressed immediately. However, details are still not precise enough, for example, the road signs in the above figure are enlarged:

It can be seen that the image quality is ambiguous after 200% magnification, but considering the price of Charm Blue E2's 1299 yuan/1599 yuan, it is indeed reasonable.

At night, the details of Charm Blue E2 smeared more seriously, the overall look of the picture was indeed OK, and the circle of PO friends was sufficient, but it was clear that it was not pure enough, and the details of the enlargement were terrible.

Charm Blue E2 camera has professional features, open the professional adjustment of ISO to 800, really get a more pure night scene, color reproduction in place. However, how many consumers use professional models to regulate ISO? Auto tuning needs to be enhanced.

Like other mobiles at this price point, Charm Blue E2 does get a good overall picture when there is plenty of light, just like the small yellow flower sample above. However, it is indeed weak in terms of details and night scenes. It needs to be improved. But it is more than enough to satisfy everyday photos and circle of friends. If you are not very strict about taking pictures, Charm Blue E2 can start.

to sum up

It can be said that Charm Blue E2 is the first mobile phone in the true sense of Meizu this year. Equipped with MediaTek P20, through its own polishing and optimization, the overall experience of the charm blue E2 is very smooth, appearance, flash, life is also worth noting, enough to give a good evaluation. There is indeed room for improvement in photographing, but it is sufficient for everyday use. In general, 1299 yuan / 1599 yuan Charm Blue E2, worth your attention and purchase.
