Meizu M6 Note

Advantages: 1. 4000 mAh battery.
2. Snapdragon 625 processor.
3. Double camera, takes high-quality pictures. The main camera is equipped with a Sony sensor.
4. Convenient Back-Home button, you can quickly unlock with a fingerprint

Disadvantages: 1. Harder than Meizu M2 mini. But for me it is uncritical.
2.No NFC

Comment: For me, an important camera and battery.

Because of the good reviews about the camera I wanted to buy something from Huawei-Honor, but there were doubts. It was embarrassing that they have a small battery, plus the HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor discharges it very well. And the older the phone is, the faster it will discharge (for example, judging by the reviews, the new Honor 9 only keeps charging a day).

And I buy a new phone because I am tired of charging the old one endlessly (the Meizu m2 mini battery has become weak in 2. 5 years).

Therefore, I decided to look at the phones on the Snapdragon processor, and here again Meizu).
Decided to take it. Another plus: Huawei was not very familiar in management, and on Meizu there is a Back-Home button which makes life very simple. Plus, Huawei is more expensive, although it is also China.

The camera on the Meizu M6 Note is like, the difference with the m2 mini is huge. It does not have optical stabilization, it is in the flagship of Huawei for expensive. There are better cameras, but you have to pay much more for this.

Another really liked the sync. Transferred all applications from the old phone, down to the open browser tabs.

Advantages: - Productivity (4 GB of RAM do their job)
- Camera (picture quality is at a height with such a low cost of a smartphone, the camera is like a 25k + phone. There is excellent image stabilization when recording video and a quick focus speed is very pleased)
- Flyme shell (comfortable)
- Phone lasts 2 days
- Charging is really very fast (with a native charging unit)
- Memory
- Excellent catch network and WiFi
- Fast fingerprint scanner
- Design

Disadvantages: - Screen (quickly scratched, buy glass right away; compared to other phones, the maximum brightness is lagging behind. If you don’t compare, you don’t even notice the brightness is enough)
- Global version of the raw, because sometimes the camera application crashes. I hope with the updates it will be fixed. Well, or put the Chinese firmware, everything is ok.
- The case is slippery for 1 hand (the problem is solved by buying a silicone case)
- No NFC (but I don't need it)
- For some reason, a little heated on charging
- Large for a small hand (not very convenient to use with one hand, but possible)

Comment: In general, this is the best choice for a price within 15k. It was difficult to choose among the heaps of offers on the market. Very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: Great screen and camera
Autonomy 5 points
Mtouch multifunction button
Prots heap, not mtk
Flyme 6
3.5 mm jack for "ears"
Fast charge

Disadvantages: not yet found

Comment: Of course, autonomy here at the level, quietly for 2 days without recharging.
Background blur effect works.
I liked how you can hear the interlocutor during a conversation, better than on the MX6, which was before, the sound is cleaner here. Do not get rid of the 3.5 mm headphone jack, but this tribute to fashion is not for me. Although, probably, when that all this connector disappears and everything will be without wires

Advantages: build quality, powerful processor, dual camera, fast charging

Disadvantages: a little warm on charging, no nfc

Comment: First of all I want to mention the battery - the phone really lives for two days without recharging. In the hand lies like a glove, it is convenient to use. The screen is not bad, I would like a little less than the minimum brightness, but it will already be a matrix of another class, so it is not critical. The case does not creak, does not play, you can see a high-quality assembly and adjustment of materials. Dual camera - an interesting thing, you can make a photo like with a camera, with a blurred background. In the evening and at night I use the manual mode, it allows me to adjust everything and get a good photo. And I want to note fast charging, now I don’t put the phone on for the night, it lasts an hour and a half if completely from 0. I expanded memory using a 64 GB flash drive. There is enough power for any games and applications, for example, tanks go on ultra-graphics settings.
For your money a good phone, in its segment may even be the best.

Advantages: Everything!

Performance

Everything in the comments!

Disadvantages: Castrated globalka.
Not a frequent Flyme update.
Lack of NFC.

Everything in the comments.

Comment: I took this phone almost after the start of sales. During this time, I did not have any reason to change it. First things first.
1.Display When he came to the 0A firmware, the display was terrible, really bad, dim as the old TFT matrix. But by that moment I already knew that after flashing everything would be fine. And really. Now I really like the display, so it's real like Amold for me.
2. Camera. She is very good. Not for nothing, many call it the best among medium-budget vehicles. With daylight without questions, at night it is very suitable. Especially hooked HDR. Portrait shots are pretty good, but of course they need some work, mostly software. But even with this, you can try to squeeze out really awesome photos.
Frontalka is not bad, but nothing fantastic though 16 mp.
3 Performance. In general, nothing lags. I don't play games. I tried to run heavy. In general, everything will go, but some are not at the maximum settings.
4. Autonomy. Gorgeous, of course there is no limit, and this is not the Mi Band who lives a month. But the device lives something like this. 1 day hard load 2 days in moderately normal mode. 3 days in economical. I read that the craftsmen - hardcore managed to squeeze 4.5 days .. Well, that's all. With my use, one and a half to two is stable. 8 o'clock screen somewhere. Steeper probably only Mi Max and Lenovo p2.
5.Flyme. Here, not everything is fine. From the global for a long time pulled and released slightly neutered. I myself sit on the last Chinese completely Russified craftsmen and I do not know the troubles. Unlike Miui, Flyme is not often pleased with good software updates.
6.Bluetooth, Gps, 4g, etc. Everything works without questions.
Lack of NFC, as a minus. The logic is incomprehensible, earlier, when he wasn’t needed, he was often shoved into the devices for some reason. Now with the development of Android pay, you will find its FIG.

Advantages: Fingerprint scanner is very fast
High-quality case and overall pleasant sensations from the design and build quality, as well as from the operation of the device (no reloads, lags, hangs have come to me in 2 weeks of operation)
Good autonomy and almost instant charge recovery
Good front camera (never used front locks because of their terrible quality. This phone broke the trend)

Disadvantages: Probably, the speed is good, but I am very picky and did not notice a jump in speed between the previous phone (I took it 3 years ago) and this on the same applications. Professional phone reviewers say that this is the first model of the Meizu company with Snapdragon and they say that the speed will still improve ... but so far - just not impressed, though not disappointed.
The main camera (2 cameras) is not particularly pleased with the quality. When viewing photos 1: 1 visible artifacts and fuzziness. Although, it is impossible to name disgusting pictures - one can say that it could be better (in the previous phone it felt better).
Stupid decision in terms of ergonomics - to make all the buttons (like all connectors) on one side. Despite the short time of use and the fact that I only use unlocking through the touch button, I missed the side buttons several times (I take pictures of the rocker buttons).

Comment: I took through AliExpress for 15 tr. instead of a heroically departed LG Nexus5. I understand that comparing a phone from Google (the legendary Nexus5) with a Chinese manufacturer is completely wrong, but I can’t do it differently. I only have experience with these two ...

1. Screen. It feels like 5.5 "this screen is not needed ... it would be enough for 5". The reviewers criticize the quality of the screen, but it turned out to be quite normal (the viewing angles are not very good, but somehow I do not look at the screen at an angle). With the factory settings, the screen gives a bluish image, but it is treated with color temperature settings.
2. Camera. The main camera is worse than the Nexus, but the front camera is better. I love to photograph and reviewed all the reviews and compared the photos of so many models that are now on the market. Ce la vie, but for 15 tr I don’t buy a phone with a good camera right now (it feels that in this price category in Huawei, the pictures are better, but on the whole, phones are worse than Meizu). In this phone, the camera is average ... in general, slightly worse than desired.
3. Housing. Very wide and very slippery, that is treated with a silicone case. The case looks good and holds in hand perfectly.
4. Branded trinkets (flyme, mTouch, etc.). In general, it is not for nothing that they were invented - it is very convenient through the central button and a couple of gestures all navigation (turned off the on-screen buttons as recommended for this phone). Cool built-in antivirus, which, when running SberbankOnline, blocks all programs that even theoretically can access information / screen / keyboard (the rest, if any, have not yet studied).
5. Sound I am not a music lover - I watched films, I have no complaints, but I didn’t really listen to music.

Advantages: Battery

Performance
Fast charge

The long-awaited new processor
Fingerprint scanner

Disadvantages: Location 3.5 mm minijack

Comment: I bought this unit on AliExpress 11.11. Therefore, I took the maximum configuration. Prior to that, he was the owner of Meizu’s smartphone, namely Note 2.
And now specifically on all items that I have indicated above.
Battery: I do not let the phone out of my hands, 4G is always on, games, internet surfing, the navigator has been periodically used, calls - until 3:00 am there is enough from 8 in the morning. Just fat plus for the battery. 4,000 mAh capacity.
Camera: the camera gives noises only in poor light, the pictures are gorgeous in the afternoon. Boke tried, but it was immediately noticeable that for the time being everything was a little damp, everything was arranged, but it is worth noting that it depends on the hands of the user.
Performance: there was not a single lag, everything flies.
Fast charging: it's really fast. A little more than an hour is needed to charge the phone.
Design: looks beautiful, though comparable to the entire line of Note. I have a silver case, I like it.
Fingerprint scanner: works without complaints, it works instantly.
Speaker: the sound is clear, juicy, quite loud.
mTouch: this is what bribes me at Meizu and what I refused Xiaomi for.
Assembly: no backlash, squeaks and all that.
Location 3.5 mm minijack - my disadvantage of this smartphone. It is inconvenient to play and keep the phone in my usual manner. That's all. But is it a minus to not take the phone?

Further I will tell about those characteristics that for me turned out to be both a minus and a plus.
2D glass: very nice, but, as they assure me, the protective glass will fly off. Like it or not - I do not know, but wait for the film.
Body: infection is beautiful, but also slippery.
Firmware: I like Flyme, but when will there be global firmware? Many things need to be finalized. Plus, there may be problems with Google in the future.

What about what they say about the screen? As for me, it is not bad. But I can not say that he is gorgeous. The backlight is good, although everyone complains. I see everything and enough. The transition to warm tones is not noticeable.
