Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

The author can definitely be called an old Meizu friend. I was very satisfied with the Meizu 18 two years ago. In 2023, we finally got the news of Meizu 20, and the expectation of Meizu 20 series was pulled out again and again with the super-long announcement for several months.

Now, we finally see the new flagships of Meizu: Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 PRO. Although it is no longer the "small screen flagship" that the author has in mind, the texture is still online, and the "Meizu flavor" is also quite rich. In this article, CTOnews.com brings you a detailed evaluation of Meizu 20.

The design first sees the body of Meizu 20, which is 6.55in in size, 7.99mm in thickness and 190g in weight. Although the screen is no longer small, it still maintains the light and thin feel of Meizu brand.

The most striking thing is the front screen, which accounts for a very high proportion of the screen. The upper left and right sides are equal in width, the frame thickness is only 1.57mm, the bottom frame is slightly wider, but it is just the beginning of 2mm, the overall impression is quite shocking. The front screen of Meizu 20 has been changed from a curved screen of the Meizu 18 series to a straight screen, which is more friendly to people who do not like curved screens. The middle hole at the top is also medium to small and does not violate it.

The 6.55in OLED on the front of Meizu 20 uses a standard 1080p + (FHD+) resolution. The supplier is from BOE, supports 10bit color depth display, and is the first time in Meizu history to support high 144Hz refresh rates. After testing, this screen is dimmed by PWM at low brightness, but Meizu also provides the option of global DC at the bottom of the developer options.

One of the highlights of Meizu 20 is the use of ultrasonic fingerprint technology. Compared with the traditional fingerprint under the optical screen, the unlocking speed of the fingerprint under the ultrasonic screen is very fast, which is basically unlocked on touch, and can also be unlocked when the hand is wet. You can see the GIF picture below to experience how refreshing the fingerprint is under the ultrasonic screen.

In addition, the fingerprint under the ultrasound screen can also be used to detect heart rate, and the entrance is hidden in the setting-lab.

Meizu 20 uses the back cover material of frosted glass, which is flat as a whole, with a slight Radian at the border joint. It feels warm and moist and has no fingerprints at all. The vanguard gray version in our hands feels low-key and elegant. In addition, there are also young colors such as Dingshengqing, love pink, Yue moving yellow and so on.

In terms of frame design, Meizu follows the trend and uses a vertical metal frame design, which can show that the fuselage is capable and the screen occupies a high proportion. The material is aluminum alloy, because the two sides do a little Radian, so compared with the iPhone frame is more suitable for the palm, the grip is very comfortable.

At the top of the frame, there is no symmetrical double loudspeaker, using the handset double Yang design. But this time there is an infrared transmitter that can replace the remote control, which is very convenient.

The upper left corner of the back cover is a three-shot matrix, which is arranged vertically to minimize the intrusion of the back cover. The camera is configured with 5000 megapixel super photographic camera + 1600 megapixel ultra wide angle lens + 5 megapixel depth of field lens. We will provide sample analysis later.

Unlike the Meizu 18 series, the Meizu 20 package has a wide range of accessories, including a mobile phone case, a charger, a data line, an iconic pin, and a built-in film. It is worth mentioning that although Meizu 20 supports 67W charging, the standard charging head has a peak power of 80W and uses C port output to charge PD for notebooks and other devices.

Performance as the flagship Android in 2023, Meizu 20 naturally carries the second generation of Snapdragon 8 flagship processor + LPDDR5X + UFS 4.0 fast flash memory combination, full full without regret.

The second-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship processor uses a distinctive architectural design and adds a new Cortex-A715 super-performance core. When the performance is most needed, the converged architecture A715 and A710 with a total of four cores become the mainstay, bringing strong lasting performance. Based on the new TSMC 4nm process, the transistor density is increased by 20%. The performance is improved while the power consumption is reduced, and the energy consumption ratio is the best in three years.

Among the 3DMark wild life stress with more emphasis on GPU performance, Meizu 20 scored the highest score of 13070 and the lowest score of 7526, with a stability of 57.6%. We shot with a temperature gun, the highest temperature in the baking machine is 44.2 ℃, which is still relatively hot, but it is not particularly hot. In fact, such extreme scenarios are rare in daily life, and they are not so hot in the actual game. We will find out later in the game testing session.

In terms of storage, Meizu 20 uses LPDDR5X memory and UFS4.0 flash memory, runs as shown in the Androbench, and each read and write speed is at the top level. In fact, this achievement is close to the speed of the high-end computer NVME hard drive, which is very helpful for the fluency of daily use.

In showing the comprehensive performance of Anbunny V9, Meizu 20 scored 1139512 points, which is, of course, the performance of today's flagship aircraft.

From the above theoretical data, the theoretical performance of Meizu 20 can be called the flagship, and the high refresh rate of 144Hz will also make daily use more smooth. Then let's try a few games with Perfdog performance dog.

First of all, "Arena of Valor", Meizu 20 supports Arena of Valor's maximum special effects mode of 120frame, which is steady throughout our play process, without any fluctuation, the game experience is very comfortable, and the temperature can hardly be felt in the back at this time. The average power consumption is only about 3.6W.

In addition to Arena of Valor, we also tested Game for Peace. "Game for Peace" has adapted to 90 frame mode, but needs to switch to smooth mode to switch, we run in smooth picture quality for 15 minutes, the whole process is stable at 90 frames, and there is almost no fluctuation. The average power consumption of the whole machine is only 3W, which is very cool.

The last game is the flagship machine examination paper "original God", the pressure of this game is quite great, while the performance of Meizu 20 is quite surprising. We drive to 60 frames of the highest special effects, and the actual experience is very stable and smooth. In the end, the average frame rate of 30 minutes is 55.5 frames, which is basically full of frames except for switching scenes and loading maps. It can be said that Meizu 20 completely conquered the original gods.

After 30 minutes of the game, the highest temperature at the core of Meizu 20 is only 40.2 ℃. It feels warm and not hot. It can be said that this generation of Snapdragon has finally become an "ice dragon".

The Meizu 20 carries a 4700mAh battery, which is normal for a 6.5inch mid-screen phone. The measured battery life performance is also good. After using a morning + heavy game for an hour and a half, the battery capacity is still 42% remaining, which is a good level. This is mainly due to the One Mind 10.0 engine of the Flyme 10 system, which can use the AI algorithm to intelligently adjust the dynamic allocation of resources. There are even tutorials in the circle of charm friends that teach you how to "raise One Mind" like an electronic pet. The longer you keep it, the more power you save.

In terms of charging, Meizu 20 supports 67W charging, and it takes about 56 minutes to charge from 1% to 100%. The power of the first half is stable at about 27W and can be charged at 70% in half an hour.

In terms of camera imaging system, Meizu 20 uses a 5000-megapixel super-photosensitive camera + 1600-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens + 5-megapixel depth-of-field lens. It is a common image scheme for mid-range mobile phones. The classic Meizu ring flash is not absent.

The imaging quality of the main photo is surprisingly good, giving people a very clear and transparent feeling.

AI's intervention is very active, and the blue sky looks clearer and more pleasing to the eye than the real sky.

Thanks to the blessing of 5000 megapixels, the resolution is also good in a complex scene like the one below, without being pasted together.

Ultra-wide-angle distortion control is still good, the maximum angle can reach 122 °, but the analytical power is relatively worse than the main photo, but there is no problem to meet the daily shooting and posting moments.

System Flyme system has always been the core competitiveness of Meizu, and this update of Flyme 10 has made some small-scale upgrades, the more significant upgrades are the new notification center and large folders. These small upgrades make the system that is already promising to use even better.

The new Flyme 10 distinguishes the notification bar from the control center, which will now open the notification center directly after the slide. The gradual frosted glass effect matches the exquisite dynamic theme of Alive Design, making the look and feel wonderful.

Large folders, a standard feature of contemporary mainstream Android UI, has also been introduced into Flyme.

In terms of functionality, Flyme 10 has not changed much, except for the two small changes we mentioned above, there are some routine upgrades, such as One Mind 10. But in fact, a major update to Flyme 10 is the seamless ecological interconnection of data: connecting with mobile phones, cars, and home ecology. With only one Fyme ID, you can quickly establish the connection between the mobile phone and the Flyme Auto, and at the same time connect with the whole house of LiPRO, customize various life scenes, automatically control the timing switches of multiple devices, and create your own smart home ecological space. Meizu, which hopes to start anew, can build its own brand-new ecology based on mobile phones and cars as soon as possible.

To sum up, the author's expectation for Meizu 20 is to continue to build an exquisite small and beautiful flagship in this increasingly large mobile phone. Now after experiencing Meizu 20, the author thinks that Meizu 20 is no longer "small", but its delicacy and beauty are still the same. Compared with the round design that Meizu has been pursuing in the past, the Meizu 20 series has become very sharp, but the feel has remained comfortable all the time. Maybe this is the change and immutability of Meizu 20. What changes is the design style, what remains unchanged is the pursuit of feel and aesthetics.

Overall, Meizu 20 is a new flagship that focuses on appearance and balanced experience. It is worth mentioning that if you participate in the 1 yuan reservation, you will not only give away the wire film package, but also get a 36-month warranty, which shows Meizu's confidence in the 20 quality of Meizu.
