2 – Hardware and Design
When looking at the Meizu Pro 6 realize clearly the influence of the iPhone 6 in the development of lines of this smartphone. With a metal construction, this model is surprising by its excellent build quality and ergonomics, but something slippery handling without cover.
In the front area, Meizu Pro 6 has a 2.5D screen of 5.2 “with Gorilla Glass protection 4. in the upper zone is the 5 MP camera, proximity sensors and light, the notification LED, as well as the speaker. Below the screen is the m.touch 2.1, a Home 3-in-1 button that allows the same back button with a simple touch, back to home with a click of the button, in addition to the integrated fingerprint sensor which allows the smartphone release.
the side trim is aluminum and possess on the left side, the slot for two nano-SIM cards and on the right, the volume control buttons and power, also in metal.
below are located the jack 3.5 mm, the main microphone, USB connector 3.1 Type-C and the mSound, a speaker equipped with the 3rd generation of intelligent system amplification NPX manufacturer that offers a sound with good quality. Above, is only present the secondary microphone.
The back consists of a construction unibody metal, where it operates a camera of 21 MP with Sony IMX230 sensor, maintaining the same sensor of your Meizu Pro predecessor 5, a flash in two-tone with 10 LED ring surrounding the laser assistance to focus.
3 – what distinguishes Meizu Pro 6?
One of the main novelties of Meizu Pro 6 is the exclusive use of SoC Mediatek Helio X25, a special edition and improved Mediatek X20 which offers a top performance as we will examine one of the next points.
Although it seems a lot like the iPhone, it should be noted that this model is aesthetically very successful and possess an excellent construction and obtained enough praise from people who were having contact with him. IPhone, this model also shares the use of 3D touch, although this is limited to a few applications that support this option natively.
The Meizu included in this model a Super AMOLED display manufactured by Samsung that offers a very clear image with good contrast and good viewing angles.
The fingerprint sensor was placed in the mTouch button (home) and It provides a quick and accurate release. The use of mTouch, although it does require an initial adjustment, turns out to be quite practical. With a slight tap this button takes the function back with a click back to home and with a long click allows you to lock the phone.
Other element that stands out in this model Meizu is the use of a ring-shaped flash, with the aim to produce more natural pictures. This is one aspect that we will examine later in detail.
The dual SIM support enables us to offer an alternative to those looking for a premium solution to have two active cards at the same time.
4 – interface and performance
Flyme 5.2
the Meizu Pro 6 comes equipped with the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow customized by Flyme user interface in version 5.2, developed by Meizu .
in the analysis, we used the original version of Flyme Chinese ROM that possess only the Chinese and English language, which allows only the use of Chinese locations. Additionally, this version does not include Google services factory-installed, requiring a manual installation.
Flyme comes with some applications in Chinese but are not inserted in the system applications and can thus be uninstalled.
During use, there was a lack of maturity in the ROM which originated some locks, gaps ( lags ) and occasional errors. But after the first update released for this model, on May 30, to correct some errors, there has been a great evolution in system stability, not having found any more problems in the use and smartphone performance. On May 31 was also launched the international version of Flyme for this model, allowing the inclusion of languages and global locations, as well as the Google services natively.
Flyme includes some interesting tools between which highlights the SmartTouch, an ever active sphere on the screen that facilitates handling with one hand, providing quick commands through their interaction.
This system possesses also a control gesture to wake the device directly on a particular task or application through a simple drawing of a letter with the screen off.
Flyme 5.2 is still available a multi-window mode that lets you display on the screen two different applications simultaneously. Although this is a tool that can become useful in many cases, unfortunately, such as 3D touch, which allows to interact with the system by recognizing different pressure levels, this option is restricted to a very limited number of applications such as news apps, video, settings, documents, and smart voice.
Performance
the Corporation Mediatek Helio X25, as mentioned above, was developed exclusively for this model. This processor is positioned as the best offer of Mediatek for this type of device and the truth is that, although far from the top of the range Qualcomm and Samsung, this processor does not disappoint having run several applications and games without having given any sign lags or other problem (unless the problem noted above relating to the lack of stability of the original ROM has now been solved).
in terms of score AnTuTu v6.1.4, Pro 6 achieved a score Meizu of 99804, thereby overcoming the Huawei P9 with a score of 90369, but positioning is still far from the 129,991 points of the Samsung Galaxy S7.
as for GPS, often touted as the Achilles heel of SoC Mediatek, always managed to fix the location in a short time and was not detected no fault or signal loss.
5 – Chambers
the Meizu Pro 6 is equipped with a main camera of 21 MP, using the Sony IMX 230 sensor, also used in its predecessor. Additionally, this camera has an automatic focus hybrid system incorporating the PDAF, together with the contrast control system, being assisted by a laser focus. also possess a dual-tone flash 10 LEDs in ring format. For video recording, can record 4K @ 30fps.
the results of this chamber are in accordance with the quality already presented by your Pro 5 predecessor, making noted the quality of a camera top of the range in various environments, having a good focus and adaptation to light conditions.
the front camera comes with a sensor 5 MP and presents satisfactory results.
the camera application is very complete and offers a user-friendly interface combined with some manual options for photo enthusiasts. In addition to automatic mode, the application still own the manual mode, video recording, beauty mode, panorama, light field (allows you to place focus on any part of the image), slow motion, macro and Gif.
regarding the video recording, the Meizu Pro 6 records 4K @ 30fps and has a good quality recording, however, there is a constant adaptation to light and focus.

. 6 – Autonomy
One of the aspects that made some reticence to analyze the specifications of this model was the small size of the battery against the monstrous processor that fitted.
However, contrary to what was expected, the Pro 6′s battery had a behavior to the point, holding up easily during a half day of moderate use or a day with a more intensive, reaching the 5 hours of active screen.
Another pleasant surprise was the fast charging technology, developed in partnership with Mediatek and Texas Instruments, which the Meizu gives the name of mCharge 3.0. The Pro 6 carries more than 20% of battery in 10 minutes, reaching 100% in less than an hour
. 7 – Verdict
The Meizu Pro 6 is a good example the quality of the models that some Chinese brands have launched to the market.
During the review period, the Meizu Pro 6 proved to be a faithful companion, and behaved like a real top-notch throughout the type of use for which it was submitted.
with a great building, a beautiful design creased by Apple and a screen with excellent quality, this is a good alternative for those looking for a dual-SIM with features and performance premium.
Flyme was a pleasant surprise, as it makes use of a simple, intuitive and pleasant interface, allowing a very rapid adaptation. Moreover, it is composed of several options and tools that complement their use in day-to-day.
Although for this analysis has been used the Chinese version of the ROM, the Meizu recently launched the international version multi-language that comes with Google services already pre-installed at the factory. Although it noted a lack of initial maturity in Flyme accompanying this Meizu, all problems have been fixed with the latest update released by Meizu, showing that the Chinese brand is moving efforts to improve the overall performance of this phone.
in the photo issue, the Meizu decided to keep the same sensor used in the predecessor of this model, with only improved some details such as recording in 4K. The main chamber possess a good quality in general, being only slightly impaired in night scenes or low light.
Overall, it’s a safe bet the Meizu having a smartphone with good performance and not shames compared to the tops of the range of other brands.
