Hi, everybody! I am Neo 
.
As a new machine attracting attention, facing the mighty competitors, can Charm Blue 5s stand out in the thousand-dollar market? 
What is the performance of the controversial SoC as a fast-charging main selling point? 
After reading this review, I believe valued friends can find their own answers. 
In order to facilitate everyone's viewing, the main content of this article is as follows, we can go straight to the topic.
I. Contents
That is this section.
II. Unpacking
Look at how the packaging is and what the accessories are.
Three. Appearance analysis
What about grinding and grinding?
Four. Details of body
The product power of a mobile phone has never been fully understood by just looking at the parameters. Let me take a look at Charm Blue's 5s which are fortunate and small regrets.
V. Core Competence: Efficient (Fast Charge + Fingerprint Payment)
What is the performance of the fast-charged and fingerprinted payment that has been praised for this conference? Actual experience, speak with data.
Six. Photography + sound quality evaluation
Photography + sound quality, two important aspects of mobile multimedia features, here are the answers.
Seven. Summary and purchase advice
OK, let's go! 
Today's evaluation of this charm blue 5s is 999 yuan 3G +32G version, the color is gold. Compared to the 799 yuan entry model, the main difference (it seems to be the only difference) is that the storage space has been increased from 16 to 32G. For the ever-increasing number of applicators, the 200-yuan investment is only worthwhile. Out of it, it should not be saved. 
â–¼ Packaging, still follow the simple style Meizu has been. It is model of "charm blue" brand and "5s" of simple indication.
â–¼ Open the package, it is the mobile phone itself, so when you are out of the box, don't be too fierce and easy to fall! ! ! (And don't ask me how I knew it! 
)
â–¼ A protective film is attached to the front and back to protect the continued slogan on the film.
â–¼ Below the mobile phone is the card picking pin that Flyme marks, personal appearance is very good, this detail is better than other stereotyped small pin and practical.
â–¼ The lower part is the charger, data cable, and two brochures are manual and warranty information.
â–¼ Because it is a fast charge, the charging head is larger than the conventional 5V2A.
â–¼ The specification is a maximum of 9V2A, that is, 18W at the conference, which should be MediaTek MTK's PE 2.0 fast charging protocol. Let's look at the measured data later.
Out of the box summary: Charm Blue 5s from the packaging design to accessories, are very restrained. What can be felt is that under the cost pressure of the thousand yuan level, all kinds of precise card positions, fast charge as the biggest selling point, naturally have the standard fast charge. However, the data line has chosen the most common PVC micro-usb cable, which is harder, but not enough. Natural accessories such as headphones are also not available. What is needed is reality.
â–¼ But I have to say that the overall face value is still very good after moving the fingerprint recognition to the front. Thanks to mBack's all-in-one feature, the entire front panel looks very neat. Coupled with the status indicator of the forehead is well hidden under the white panel, there is no sense of presence when not bright. Must like it.
â–¼ The black side is convenient, but also thank God for not using any ID without borders, is a real white border with a little black border, showing good results, there is no "broadcasting of information screen, scary silly screen" of the huge contrast.
â–¼ The entire edge of the treatment is indeed a first-class level, excessive arc is very nice and pleasing to the eye. The frame of the mBack and the entire computer is perfect, with a sense of security brought by the 5.2-inch screen, and the visual feel is the best in the same price range.
â–¼ At the top of the "forehead" design, individuals do not like it a bit, I think the position of the two holes is a bit high, but fortunately there is no effect in use, I believe the black panel, the overall effect is better.
â–¼ At the bottom is a fully symmetrical opening design, but only the right is the real speaker, the left is pure decoration.
â–¼ The side of the side is a 2-in-1 card slot, two nano sim cards, or a nano sim card + a TF card (ie MicroSD card), all in the same card slot.
â–¼ The other side of the side is the power and volume keys.
â–¼ A simple headphone jack at the top.
â–¼ The back of the center is a 1300W pixel camera, the following is a dual color temperature flash
â–¼ The whole of the back is totally natural, and the colors of the upper and lower ends are slightly deeper, which makes the overall three-stage look and feel very good. The camera does not have any outstanding and it is very satisfying.
Appearance summary: Introduction, meticulous, overall design work materials are good. The sleek border, 2.5D glass feel OK, the camera also did not stand out. From the perspective of experience, it is highly recommended not to wear a protective shell or film. As for the Charm Blue face value that some of the Charm Friend points out, it is invincible at the thousand-dollar level. Neo I personally have a discreet endorsement.
Some notable details:
â–¼ The words at the bottom of the back shell: "Designed by Meizu" and "Assembled in China" are full of tribute to the iPhone.
â–¼ The light metal wire is actually a bit grooved effect, if made flat, of course better, and then according to a more reliable source, flattening is much more costly than the current form of the groove (at least a single machine more than ten yuan to several The cost of ten yuan), so Meizu had to compromise.
â–¼ There is no sanding around the charging port, and occasional touches have a cut feel.
â–¼ The screenshot function is "volume-key + lock screen key". Since these two keys are in close proximity, one finger operation is possible! ! ! One-handed screenshots are really convenient. Long press can also take screenshots and crop shots. Very convenient.
â–¼ mBack, really well-known, back, Home, fingerprints are all integrated together. The operation logic and the movement of the finger are greatly reduced, which is also very convenient.
â–¼ One-handed comfort and security with 5.2 inches. 5.5 is too large, 4.7 iPhone is not much smaller, have to say 5.2 inch is a very golden screen size.
Summary: Excellent workmanship, single screenshot design, very convenient mBack, plus 5.2-inch screen size, so that the overall use of Charm Blue 5s experience has been effectively improved. However, the two grooves on the three-section backshell and the cut-off of the charging port can still be seen in the cost control. Charm Blue naturally cannot achieve the completeness of the MX or Pro Series. It can only be said that the highlights are outstanding, but it is still not perfect.
What is a smart phone? It is our life assistant and it is a weapon to manage our life, study and work. And a good smartphone can naturally increase our efficiency.
For efficiency, different vendors have different solutions. Especially for the flagship model, what is the natural force to use, and then do a good combination of software and hardware. But at the level of thousands of machines, due to the fact that the selling price determines the cost, it is natural to make the best trade-offs among the numerous options.
So, I had to sigh. I couldn't help but sigh. Supercars are hard to make, and it's hard to build a family car.
And Charm Blue 5s, I think everyone is also very familiar with the choice of a relatively old SoC, with a 720P screen, as an effective means of cost control; and enhance competitiveness, in addition to the outstanding appearance mentioned above, In addition to work and hold, personally think that there are two major killers: fast charge + fingerprint payment.
why?
Because a good SoC chip is just a part of the overall speed of the phone, due to the well-known principle of the barrel. If you match the top of the Snapdragon 821, but the disk chip is slow, memory is small, and even the system optimization is poor, the phone is also stuck.
In turn, although with a weaker SoC, if you do not run large programs, do not play big games. WeChat Taobao brush microblogging may not feel it.
It seems that the choice made by Charm Blue 5s is easy to read:
The first is 3G RAM, which must be guaranteed. This is already the world's largest RAM with a price of 999 yuan (and only a few vendors can do it), let alone the price of 799 yuan. This is done first at the thousand dollar level with a minimum number of app overloads.
It is followed by a quick charge, which takes the least time to fully charge the electricity. Open up the difference, for those who have a large battery demand and do not want to bring charging treasure friends, Charm Blue inferred not much. After all, any product cannot perfectly support everyone's needs.
Then the fingerprint payment is really convenient. The iPhone users have long enjoyed the service, but because of a variety of security risks and technical barriers, so that the vast majority of Android phones can not support the "Alipay + WeChat fingerprint payment," but the charm blue 5s did.
Screen 720P, in exchange for some battery life and cost. The SoC is weaker, in exchange for some life and costs.
This is what we finally see as Charm Blue 5s. You can see the charm blue 5s, although not as part of the value of friends think, do their best to build performance accessories, but it is not without their own efforts. If you want to say that other configurations remain the same, on the 1080P + Snapdragon 625 SoC, I believe we can all see clearly. The conclusion is only three words: impossible.
Not only Meizu can not do, any one manufacturer can not afford to lose money in the price of 799/999 yuan, can not do.
So next, let's take a look at this set of Charm Blue 5s, how the actual experience.
â–¼ First available storage space, 23.80 GB available, fairly good.
â–¼ Fingerprint Payment Naturally Easy Support
â–¼ Fast charge is equally good
11:30 charge remaining 5% to start charging; 10 minutes to 12%; 30 minutes to 42%; 40 minutes to 57%; 45 minutes to 64; 1 hour to 83%; after the power drop more severe, 80 minutes to 94%; To 1:14, which is full after 104 minutes.
â–¼ Measure the charging power, up to about 13W.
On the whole, emergency use can be guaranteed for half an hour, and it is stable in one hour.
â–¼ Life is moderate.
From 1:14 to 18:12, from 100% to 7:00 am, more than 84% of sleep (about 1 hour before bedtime) was left, and the last 5% of the battery power consumed a total of 17 hours.
Worse, the system only counts up to 12 hours of usage. So in fact it can guarantee moderate use: 5 hours light screen + 12 hours black screen.
Therefore, this life can basically deal with the use of a full day.
â–¼ Disk speed
The four reading and writing speeds of 240/73/20/13 are actually very good. Here quoted from Anandtech's measured data:
Directly beyond the popular mobile phones, including Samsung S7, have to say. A little pleasant surprise.
â–¼ An Tutu Run Points
Some people say that subject to SoC, the score is really low.
But the fact is not so simple, after Neo's actual measurement, in fact Charm Blue 5s only open 6 cores.
Meizu has to say that there is indeed a trick, this SoC chip anyway, full-blown performance is also that way, completely seal a little, to ensure that life. After all, day-to-day applications, 6-core 1.3G is no card. The big application that really gets stuck is the big game, and it's no use for 8 cores.
Summary: With mBack, fingerprint payment, 5.2 inch screen operating efficiency, plus a good disk configuration. Charm Blue 5s is very smooth in everyday use. The performance of fast charging and battery life is also satisfactory. Constrained by the upper limit of the performance of the SoC, this phone itself does not take the performance route. If you want to play a big game and run a big application, it is obviously not suitable.
Of course, if you let me choose, I naturally want to put on a more powerful SoC and a 1080P screen, but as previously analyzed, plus the 3G+32G configuration, the price is not likely to be 999 yuan.
In order to better reflect the effect, the proofs here are all shot in automatic mode, and they are cut and compressed directly into the original image.
Sample time:
1) The contrasting night scenes of the same scene during the day are also the current weak points of the thousand Yuan machine.
2) The daylight is good outdoors and the availability is high. Big Ben's streamlined, F150 raptor's domineering are perfectly captured.
3) Indoor general lighting, pears are slightly unattractive, and the color feels cold. Available.
4) Nothing happens in the room. Yes, afterwards, the circle of friends is no worries.
Visible photography, focusing fast, good daytime imaging, cold colors, night availability is not enough, in line with the normal level of thousands of machines.
The sound quality: Mono speakers, loud enough, sound quality in line with the normal level of thousands of machines. In some of my usual mobile phones, it is roughly equal to iPhone 5, 5s, 6s and Redmi Note2; obviously weaker than the glory V8 and HTC One X9.
However, because there is no big black border, the effect of watching the video is still very good. In short, watch a video, listen to a song, or listen to a song or even a Bluetooth speaker.
See here, surely everyone has a more comprehensive understanding of Charm Blue 5s this phone. I have to say that before I started, Neo was slightly disappointed with the relatively weak SoC and 720P screens. However, it actually felt a lot of surprises.
advantage:
Fingerprint payment is too convenient!
Fast charge is really invincible at this price point.
mBack operation efficiency is improved effectively.
Excellent disk speed.
3G RAM is a real hit to ensure the fluency of daily applications and will not always waste time app reload.
Excellent appearance.
Workmanship is first class at the same price.
Positive fingerprint recognition. (On behalf of individuals, after all, on the desktop or when driving a red light, the frontal fingerprint is easy to unlock and easy to use too much)
Disadvantages:
SoC is not top
720P screen is naturally better than 1080P
Therefore, Charm Blue 5s is more like a "day-to-day mobile phone" that is suitable for most users. Nothing on the WeChat, Amoy treasure, offline scan code, can provide nearly 90% of the flagship mobile phone experience. The fast charge, good appearance, good feel, it is commendable on this price point. It is very suitable for some users who do not have high requirements for mobile phones and do not play big games.
At the same time, for the two-party party, the configuration of Netcom, plus the relatively small size of 5.2, is also a good choice.
If the pursuit of absolute performance, do not care about fast charging, fingerprint payment, mBack, appearance work, it is recommended to look at other options, or simply add a little budget, on the 1500-2000 price, more powerful models.
Finally, if you are a little hesitant, Neo still highly recommends that everyone have a chance to try out Charm Blue 5s. I believe that the actual experience will probably give you some surprises.
