From the hardware configuration, we can see that the Charm Blue 5 still uses the MT6750 eight-core CPU, and the Charm Blue 3 uses the same CPU, and the MT6750 supports full Netcom baseband and LTE Cat6. Also equipped with 2GB or 3GB of LPDDR3 memory, has more memory for the application runs more smoothly, there is also a body version of the 32GB version in addition to 16GB, has a larger body storage space, also supports SD card expansion storage .

Charm Blue 5 Appearance: Maximize Polycarbonate

As a "young good product" series of mobile phones, Charm Blue 5 is still using a polycarbonate body, in the overall design than the previous generation of Charm Blue 3 does not change much, in addition to the body size becomes larger, Charm Blue 5 Some adjustments were made to the details of the fuselage section. In this part, we will interpret the design of Charm Blue 5 in detail.

Charm Blue 5 fuselage without any decorative elements and product logo, the design is very simple, which is Meizu mobile phone has always been the design style. Although the overall change is not significant, Meizu's iconic phone appearance still has a relatively high degree of recognition in the same price range. The front panel of the white body is black and has a good oneness in the state of blank screen. The Charm Blue 5 uses a 5.2 inch screen with a 1280 x 720 split rate and uses 2.5D protective glass. The use of 2.5D glass improves the front view and edge grip of the camera. This design has been widely adopted in mobile phones and is a popular design element in the recent period.

On the front of the fuselage is a front camera, earpiece and light distance sensor. Charm Blue 5 front camera pixel is 5 million, aperture F2.0. With Face AE automatic face recognition and facial exposure enhancement algorithms.

The back of the body, Charm Blue 5 uses a polycarbonate shell. My hand is glaciers on my hands and has a high surface gloss. The “MEIZU” logo is printed on the upper part of the fuselage, although it is made of polycarbonate, but its texture does not lose most of the thousands of metal mobile phones.

Charm Blue 3 and charm blue 5 body back contrast, body back camera, flash two major components and the "MEIZU" logo layout have not changed, basically can be seen as a larger version of Charm Blue 3.

At the bottom of the fuselage, the charm blue 5 left and right ends are still the traditional speaker and microphone openings, and the data interface is still the traditional Micro USB interface. The difference is that the original Charm Blue 3 design in the fuselage at the top of the 3.5mm headphone jack was moved to the bottom of the fuselage, so the fuselage bottom hole did not make a symmetrical design.

Regarding the adjustment of the headphone hole position, this actually relates to the improvement of the user experience. Because when inserting the earphone to listen to the song, if the earphone is at the top of the fuselage, then need to adjust the hand posture when picking up the mobile phone or putting the mobile phone from pocket. And if the headset is plugged into the bottom of the fuselage, it is very natural. If you pay attention, you should be able to find that most mobile phones on the market today have a headset jack designed on the bottom of the fuselage.

The front of the fuselage is the Meizu iconic mBack Home button with integrated fingerprint recognition, which is also an upgrade point compared to the previous generation of Charm Blue 3. Users familiar with Meizu mobile phones should all know mBack. Touching back and pressing back to the desktop is very simple. Compared to the traditional Android three-button design, mBack does not know where to go smart, not only saves the front of the bottom space, looks more concise, but also simplifies the operating logic, is a very innovative design.

In terms of photographing, Charm Blue 5 uses a 13-megapixel camera with a 5P lens, F2.2 aperture, dual color temperature flash, and support for PDAF phase focus. As far as parameters are concerned, the Charm Blue 5 camera is at the mainstream level in the same price range. In the above picture, you can see, Charm Blue 5 is still using a rounded corner design, although the size of the whole machine has increased compared to the previous generation of Charm Blue 3, but this design makes Charm Blue 5 still maintains a good Hold the handle.

In addition, the body thickness of the Charm Blue 5 is 8.8mm, in this thin and light body contains a large capacity battery 3070mAh, according to Meizu official said, in the case of moderate use, Charm Blue 5 can be a full day of life .

The appearance part of the summary, Charm Blue 5 in the design and there is no special bright spot highlights, but the simple, rounded design style makes Charm Blue 5 has a relatively high degree of recognition in the same price quality. Glacier white, mint green, sapphire blue, matte black and champagne gold can meet the personalized needs of many young users. Although there is no major change compared to the previous generation as a whole, there are still advantages compared to competing products.


Charm Blue 5 Performance: Limited Performance Improvement

In terms of hardware configuration, as a new generation of Charm Blue mobile phones, Charm Blue 5 uses the same MT6750 eight-core processor as the previous generation Charm Blue 3, which is quite surprising. In the general status of excess performance, Meizu may think that this processor is sufficient for the target users of Charm Blue 5. In this section, we will analyze the processor again to see how its performance is in the current hardware performance ranking and whether it can be used by most users.

Charm Blue 5 is equipped with this MT6750 using 28nm process technology, eight-core 64-bit A53 architecture, positioning the low-end product line, the main low-power and full Netcom, 4G + function. Although it is still a chip for the low-end mobile phone product line, compared to its predecessor MT6735 still has made no small progress. The CPU part of the processor is upgraded from four A53 cores to eight A53 cores, with the highest frequency reaching 1.5GHz. The GPU part adopts the ARM Mali-860 MP2, and the main frequency is 350MHz. In addition, the chip integrates LTE Cat.6 Modem, which is to support dual carrier aggregation, VoLTE high-definition voice calls, full Netcom features, compared to the quad-core MT6735, with a comprehensive upgrade. Here we have carried out the security Bunny Run points, look at the actual performance of Charm Blue 5.

In the Ann Bunny Run Test, Charm Blue scored 38,781 points. In the previous evaluation of the processor, we compared the MT6750 with the similarly positioned Xiaolong 616.

From the running scores, the scores of Xiaolong 616, MT6750, and MT6735 are all at a relatively low level. Compared with the current mainstream processors, there is a considerable gap, especially for flagship processors with more than 100,000 points. Not worth mentioning (Shao Long 820 Ann Bunny scored around 13,000). However, compared to the similarly positioned Xiaolong 616, the MT6750 has certain advantages in terms of performance, but this advantage will not be apparent in actual use. Compared with the previous generation MT6735, its performance increased by about 30%. In addition, MediaTek MT6750 control in terms of power consumption is very good, with Charm Blue 5 equipped with 3070mAh capacity battery and Flyme's power-saving optimization, to achieve a moderate use of life one day performance is not a problem.

From the above test data, basically the following conclusions can be drawn:

Comprehensive performance: MediaTek MT6750> Qualcomm Xiaolong 616> MediaTek MT6735

Also worth mentioning is that Charm Blue 5 comes standard with a 3GB large running memory version, which will be very clear for users to enhance the use of experience. 3GB of running memory is used to run the Android system is smooth enough, in the Android 6.0 on the hardware performance of the minimum requirements, 3GB is higher than the minimum requirements. However, in China, due to the lack of Google GCM push, major applications (mainly domestic applications) will create message notifications in the background and maximize the possibility of keeping them awakened in the background, as well as domestic applications of mutual wake-up mechanisms (commonly found in The Baidu Department and Tencent Department of Software) have also led to tightness in running memory. Therefore, it is very necessary for users who are not fully aware of how to control the mobile application, especially when it comes to running memory.


Charm Blue 5 Flyme5.2 System: The bottom of YunOS

Charm Blue 5 uses the latest Flyme5.2 system, based on Ali's YunOS5.1.1 bottom layer, Flyme5.2 relatively updated improvements are not many, we are more looking forward to the arrival of Flyme6.

Camera: Mature 13MP Camera
