With its all-round performance, the Meizu 21 Note cell phone is officially known as the “special forces” in the cell phone, and the cost performance of this special forces is also very good. So, how does this mid-range model, which is located in the two-thousand-dollar class, perform in actual use? Let's take a look at the actual performance of the Meizu 21 Note from the perspective of a mid-range model.
The exterior design of the Meizu 21 Note is undoubtedly one of its biggest highlights. The lens area adopts the same design style as the flagship model, with no unnecessary text or decorative circles, simple and atmospheric. The version we received this time is in the Meizu White color scheme, the back cover is made of glass and there is no extra texture either, pure white enough. The back cover is also curved to enhance the overall grip.
The Meizu 21 Note also features a rare aluminum frame in its price range, so you can feel the premium feel of this machine in your hands, far beyond other machines in its price range.
Back to the front, the Meizu 21 Note's bezel is narrow enough, with a width of 1.75mm, and is able to achieve equal width on all four sides, plus the Meizu White color scheme on the front and the white bezel, which raises the value to a level that shouldn't be available in this price range.
Screen quality, this is a 6.78-inch OLED screen, resolution of 2780x1264, pixel density can reach 450PPI, compared to the 1080P screen clarity is higher, compared to the 2K resolution of the screen more power saving. It also supports a high refresh rate of 144Hz, and supports adaptive refresh rate adjustment, which allows you to adjust the refresh rate to the right level when watching different content, ensuring both smoothness and power savings.
The screen uses Tianma's U8 light-emitting material, which allows the screen to reach a full-screen brightness of 1600nit and a local peak brightness of 5000nit, so that whether you're watching HDR video or using it outdoors, you'll be able to get a clear visual experience. We also tested the color gamut of the screen, in professional mode, it can achieve 97.3% of the sRGB color gamut coverage, and the color calibration performance is also relatively good, the display effect is trustworthy.
This screen is not only a good display effect, eye protection effect is also quite in place, in the low brightness to support 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, hardware-level low blue light and class DC dimming, global native SVM <1 and other screen indicators, and through the China Academy of Information and Communication Technology and Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center to develop eye protection standards, access to the visual health and friendliness of the S + + + certification, effectively reducing eye fatigue and discomfort, guarding the user's eye health. This effectively reduces eye fatigue and discomfort, guarding users' eye health.
In terms of performance, the Meizu 21 Note is equipped with a second-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile platform, using TSMC's 4nm process technology, 1+4+3 triple-cluster architecture, performance has a great improvement, the measured score of 1.54 million points, and better end-side AI capabilities, combined with the new Flyme system to bring a better user experience.
For better gaming performance, the Meizu 21 Note is equipped with a 5000mm² cooling area VC liquid-cooled heat sink, which allows the heat from the processor to dissipate faster for better heat dissipation. The phone also has an AI intelligent global temperature control algorithm, which keeps the device running at the right temperature at all times and intelligently deploys system resources according to the usage situation to control the temperature of the device.
In order to better utilize this “1.5K” resolution screen, Meizu 21 Note brings AI game ultra-clear algorithm, which can enhance the 720P resolution screen to 1.5K ultra-clear screen, the clarity is really a glance to improve, and there are also 10 times the ultra-scoring touch control, game response speed increased by 50%, to achieve more accurate and sensitive control. With the 10x Super Score touch control, the game response speed is increased by 50% for more precise and sensitive control, and every action you take can be instantly presented in the game. The support of these game optimization technologies brings the gaming experience to the next level.
After talking about the game, let's take a look at how the Meizu 21 Note's image performance, let's take a look at the hardware configuration, 5000 pixels of the main camera, 1/1.56-inch large bottom sensor, support for OIS optical stabilization, as well as a large aperture of f/1.68. 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, support for 2.5cm macro shooting, the quality of the main camera is still passable, and the color is not bad. The colors are not bad.
As you can see from this sample photo of the main camera, the Meizu 21 Note has a high degree of saturation, and I feel that the overall resolution is still very good, so it's enough to take pictures and send them to friends on a daily basis.
Meizu 21 Note battery life performance is good, after all, built-in 5500mAh high-capacity high-density battery, DOU endurance can go to 12.8 hours, properly use a day. The 21 Note also supports 66W wired charging, and does a good job of adapting to three-way charging protocols, which deserves praise.
Finally, let's talk about the system, the Meizu 21 Note comes with Flyme 10.5, which brings a wealth of AI features. The Aicy voice assistant is even smarter after accessing the AI model; the AI intelligent reply function embellishes statements and makes your replies more emotionally intelligent.
AI copywriting can make your copy more advanced; there is also the AI circle search function, which allows you to search for relevant information after extracting key content, which is very convenient.
There are also several other AI functions such as Natural Language Search, Magic Elimination, Picture Expansion, AI Portrait, AI Generate Picture, Document Parsing, Keyword Quick Query, Service Recommendation, and AI Expanded Picture, which can enhance your experience on the phone.
There are also intelligent features such as desktop AI search, AI wallpaper generation, AI game HD, AI chat, AI intelligent coding, AI note creation, AI global recording, and AI customer service dialog, etc., which you will be able to experience in the system after the subsequent Flyme AIOS update.
About Flyme 10.5 built into the Meizu 21 Note, there is one more thing I want to say about the system's built-in advertisements. Meizu has been doing the Three Zero system for a few generations, and I believe we have already adapted to the lack of advertisements on Meizu's cell phones, but when I got the Meizu 21 Note, I opened the app store, the browser, and the weather apps and they were all flooded with advertisements, which is really hard to bear. It's really hard to tolerate. While it's understandable that Meizu has added ads, the user experience would likely be significantly improved by avoiding potentially offensive forms of ads such as the opening screen shake and by appropriately reducing the number of ads.
To summarize, Meizu 21 Note this cell phone as a thousand yuan mid-range machine in the cell phone “special forces”, with the same price of other machines do not have a superb texture, minimalist design, which is a big plus for it, as well as second-generation Snapdragon 8, 16GB RAM smooth experience, the domestic 1.5K eye-protecting OLED screen is also worthy of praise.
The image part of the work is not bad, can meet the user's daily use needs, 5500mAh oversized battery brings a long life performance, there is also a strong compatibility of the fast charging, these highlights make this machine looks quite all-round, is also worthy of the title of the special forces. In the system, there is a continuation of the previous smooth experience, as well as simple design style, but unfortunately added too many advertisements, if the subsequent version of the system can optimize this point, then this machine is very worth choosing.
