Meizu MX4 Pro: reviews, technical specs, price

A stylish novelty of the end of 2014, which in design and user interface is very similar to the latest generation of iPhone, is the Meizu MX4 Pro. Reviews About this flagship device, its software and hardware specifications will be described in detail and discussed further in the text.

Completion of the device

Very modest, as for the device of a premium class, the equipment at this device. Of course, the box itself is well thought out. It is made in the form of a kind of book, which shows the main advantages of the phone, as well as recommendations on its use. In addition to the built-in battery in the device and itself, the delivery includes a charger, a cord, a user's manual and a warranty card. This list lacks a protective film for the front panel, cover and stereo headset. Although the front of the smart smartphone is protected by Gorilla Glass of the 3rd generation, but, anyway, it is more reliable to stick a protective film over it. A similar situation with the side edges of the device and the back cover. The case for Meizu MX4 Pro in this case, too, will not be superfluous. As for the stereo headset, you can partially agree with the manufacturer. The audio output of the gadget has a high-quality audio amplifier. To fully reveal its potential, you need really great headphones. And in this case, you need an individual selection of a stereo headset.

Design of the gadget and its ergonomics

Very similar in appearance to the iPhone 6th generation and Meizu MX4 Pro. An overview of their controls proves this once again. Just one physical button is displayed on the front panel. It also has a fingerprint scanner (in the same way as the "apple" flagship - iPhone6 Plus), which is protected by a sapphire crystal. The front panel displays a 5.36-inch display. On the edges of the side faces it is separated by thin strips 2.8 mm thick. Above it, as expected, there is a camera for video calls, a speaker and a group of sensors. The physical buttons for controlling the device are located on the right side (volume control) and the upper side (the lock button). Also on the upper edge are a microphone to suppress noise during a call and an audio port. On the underside of the smartphone are a loud speaker (and its holes are decorated in the same way as the latest version of the iPhone), a spoken microphone and a microUSB port. There are no control elements or communication ports on the left side. Separately it is worth noting that all the sides are made of aluminum, and the back cover is made of polycarbonate. It has a double LED light hole for shooting in the dark and the main camera. It is exactly like the main key on the front side, protected by a sapphire crystal.

CPU, graphics accelerator and memory subsystem

A very powerful processor solution is used in the Meizu MX4 Pro. The reviews highlight his high level of computing performance. But at the same time, the energy efficiency of the gadget is at an acceptable level. As the central processing unit in this smartphone is used Exynos 5430 from Samsung. Physically, it has 8 cores, but at the same time only 4 of them can work. That is, this chip is based on the technology big.LITTLE. Its essence lies in the fact that the CPU consists of 2 groups of cores. 4 computing modules on the "A7" architecture (in the peak load mode, they can accelerate to 1.7 GHz) have a low level of performance (but it is enough to solve most everyday tasks) and have low power consumption. Most of the time in work is exactly this computing cluster. If the demanding software is launched, a high-performance cluster based on the A15 architecture is activated. There are also 4 cores, but they function at a frequency of 2 GHz. The result is an ideal balance of performance and energy consumption. This smartphone can easily cope with any software. Another powerful link in this device is the graphics adapter - Mali-T628 MP6. He, too, will not have problems with the launch of any, even the most demanding software. The amount of RAM in this device is always 3 GB. But the capacity of the built-in storage can vary. In the most modest case, its volume is 16 GB. This is, so to speak, an economical version of the flagship. The average modification of the smartphone is called Meizu MX4 Pro 32Gb. As it is not difficult to understand from the title, it has a storage size of 32 GB. Well, the most advanced version of the smartphone is equipped with 64 GB. Also, it should be noted that there is no expansion slot for installing a flash card, and you will have to be content with what is available.

Device Display

The phone Meizu MX4 Pro, as already mentioned, is equipped with a 5.36 inch display, based on an IPS matrix. The prefix "ANZ" means that there is no air gap between the screen surface and the touch panel. Well, the technology "IPS" says that the viewing angles of the screen in this smart phone are close to 180 degrees. The resolution of the display is 1536x2560, that is, the image is output in the "2K" format. It is difficult to say in what cases it may be necessary to simultaneously 10 touch to the sensor surface of the screen, but this possibility is realized in this device. Also need to note the sides of the display, the thickness of which is only 2.8 mm.

Autonomy

The capacity of the complete battery is 3350 mAh. Given the diagonal of the touch screen at 5.36 inches and a fairly energy-intensive processor, this value with an average load is enough for 2 days. If the device is used at minimum, it will be possible to stretch out for 3 days on one charge. But in case of launching a serious toy ("Asphalt 8", for example) in a few hours, the battery will be discharged into the Meizu MX4 Pro. Reviews Say that in this mode, the smartphone can stretch a maximum of 4-5 hours.

Communication set

Excellent set of wired and wireless transmission modes in Meizu MX4 Pro. Review of technical documentation indicates the presence of such of them as:

• Support for mobile networks GSM, 3G and LTE.
• An expanded set of Wi-Fi networks (the device successfully works with a, b, g, n and ac at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
• Also there is a transmitter bluetooth, and the last, the 4th generation.
• One GPS transmitter at the software level can interact with all navigation systems: GPS, BDS and, of course, GLONASS.
• The microUSB port allows you to quickly exchange information with a PC or charge the battery.
• To output the audio signal, there is a 3.5 mm port located on the top edge of the device.

The cost of the phone today

From a technical and program position, the Meizu MX4 Pro is perfectly balanced. The price is on him, sort of like, slightly overstated. But if you compare it with direct competitors, it becomes obvious that not everything is so obvious. For example, the same Galaxy S6 from Samsung, even in the most modest modification, is estimated at 47,000 rubles. At the same time, according to the parameters, the most advanced modification of the flagship of this Chinese manufacturer is no worse than it, and in some cases even far ahead. At the same time, the version with 64 GB is estimated at 30,000 rubles. Even less is the Meizu MX4 Pro 32Gb (for today for the right to become its lucky owner will have to shell out about 25,000 rubles). On the organization of the memory subsystem, it is a direct competitor to the Galaxy S6.

The cost for Meizu MX4 Pro varies greatly. The price depends on the capacity of the integrated flash drive. The most modest modification of it from 16 GB onboard is currently estimated at 410 dollars. Of course, the price of the device is quite high, but against the background of other flagship devices, it already does not seem like that. Moreover, according to the characteristics of this smartphone they really are not so much and loses.

Results

One of the most affordable flagships to date is the Meizu MX4 Pro. Reviews say about its low cost. At the same time, its technical and software specifications, according to users, are not inferior to direct competitors. That turns out an excellent price-quality ratio, and if you need this, you can safely pay attention to this device.
