Meizu 18 series flagship mobile phone officially released, price starts at 4399

      According to Sina Digital News on the afternoon of March 3, Meizu officially released the 2021 flagship mobile phone, the Meizu 18 series 5G dual flagship mobile phones, Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro.

　　Meizu 18 Pro features top-notch hardware and is positioned as the ultimate flagship of the year, while Meizu 18 features lightweight design and is positioned as a small-screen full-blooded flagship. At the same time, the Meizu 18 series are all equipped with the Flyme 9 system, and its selling point is "safe and pure". The official said that 0 advertising, 0 promotion, and 0 pre-installation will bring users a fresh and pure experience.

　　About configuration and design

　　Both Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro use Samsung Super AMOLED displays. The new E4 display substrate has lower energy consumption, a resolution of 3200 X 1400, and a high refresh rate of 120 Hz.

　　Meizu also introduced the original color display function for this top-level screen for the first time - "Natural Display". The screen color temperature can be intelligently adjusted in real time according to the ambient color temperature. When the ambient color temperature is too cold or too warm, the phone will be adjusted to the same white or yellow temperature, so as to present more realistic natural colors and more natural picture transitions.

　　This screen is equipped with Meizu Ultrasonic mTouch, the first to launch Qualcomm's second-generation ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint technology, which improves the success rate of unlocking with wet hands, reduces the unlocking time, and solves problems such as glare.

　　Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro still place great emphasis on the feel of the hands. The front uses a four-curved micro-arc screen, and the curved surfaces on the left and right sides are processed with a 50° micro-arc on the flexible AMOLED screen, making the arc connection of the whole machine smoother, while reducing the possible visual and tactile discomfort.

　　In order to reduce accidental touches on the curved screen, Meizu has added a low-level anti-mistouch algorithm to this screen, and has made anti-mistouch adjustments for palm, thumb, multi-finger and other grip postures.

　　Different from the traditional curved screen design, in addition to the two sides of the body, Meizu also extends the micro-arc further to the upper and lower ends of the screen, achieving a micro-arc design of 5° up and down. This makes the body look more beautiful, and also has a more comfortable transition feel when operating the full-screen gestures and calling out the top bar.

　　In addition, the back of the Meizu 18 series uses a four-curved AG glass back cover. The eight micro-arcs on the front and back are closely connected to the middle frame. The three sides are integrated into one, the transition is natural, and it feels as smooth as jade to hold, truly achieving a natural good feeling.

　　Both Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro use Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship processor, which is the current flagship standard. Coupled with UFS 3.1 flash memory and LPDDR 5 memory across the series, the overall hardware foundation is guaranteed.

　　Meizu has specially launched a new generation of OneMind 5.0 intelligent thinking engine, which includes smart wake-up 6.0, process harvester 5.0, resource hosting 5.0, game optimization 5.0 and other system-level optimization tools to ensure that the Snapdragon 888 processor can perform at its best while maintaining ideal power consumption performance, high performance and long battery life.

　　It is officially confirmed that the deeply customized Flyme 9 system based on Android 11 "has undergone 552 days of deep polishing". In addition to the new design interaction logic, system function innovation and extremely rigorous privacy and security protection measures, Meizu also brought the last blockbuster feature of Flyme 9, the pure system, at today's 18 series launch conference.

　　Starting from the 18 series, Meizu will completely abandon Internet advertising revenue and provide consumers with a truly pure experience. Flyme9 on the Meizu 18 series has achieved 0 ads, and the system's built-in applications have no ads; 0 push, the 18 series does not contain any operation push; 0 pre-installed, the 18 series does not pre-install any third-party applications.

　　In addition, the Meizu 18 series all use the innovative Wi-Fi 6E technology, covering the new 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz frequency bands, with a data throughput of up to 3.5Gbps, and supports leading technologies such as 4-way dual-band concurrency.

　　MEIZU Pay has also undergone an all-round upgrade, and the Meizu 18 series has become Meizu's first mobile phone to support the central bank's digital currency wallet.

　　In addition, MEIZU Pay also introduced the "car key" function for the first time. If you carry the Meizu 18 series and turn on the car key function on MEIZU Pay and approach the vehicle, the vehicle can automatically unlock the Xiaopeng P7 series car. Officials said that there will be more brands and models in the future.

　　The Meizu 18 series does not have the same tactile sensation as the horizontal linear motor. The mEngine has been upgraded to version 4.0, which brings a 30% increase in vibration. 3D Press, combined with mEngine 4.0, brings a better real touch like mechanical buttons.

　　The above are the similarities between the two mobile phones. The differences mainly lie in the screen size and imaging.

　　Meizu 18 Pro: The most powerful hardware ever

　　Meizu 18 Pro is known as "the most powerful Meizu phone ever"

　　The general outline of this phone is similar to that of the Meizu 18-megapixel, continuing the good feel of the 'MEIZU Design'. The outstanding design such as arc symmetry and 50:50 balanced weight achieves a nearly integrated feel. 189g is already a representative of light weight among flagship phones of the same size. It has 40W Super mCharge and supports universal protocols such as PD 3.0 and QC 4+, allowing you to charge whenever you want and wherever you go.

　　The improvement of Meizu 18 Pro is obvious, which is also the difference from Meizu Pro. Samsung GN1 is used as the main lens, with memory metal optical image stabilization (Ultra SMA OIS); Sony IMX 616 ultra-wide-angle macro lens. The front lens uses Samsung 4400W GH1 front camera.

　　In addition, the Meizu imaging team has reached an in-depth cooperation with Arcsoft Technology to adapt many new photography algorithms such as Dark Vision extreme night scene, AI ultra-clear portrait, and super night video for the Meizu 18 series. Through the lossless algorithm in the RAW domain and the blessing of AI computing power, while improving the brightness of the picture, it can also fully display the colors and details, and the night scene performance is further improved.

　　Meizu 18 small-screen flagship

　　Meizu 18 is a small-screen flagship that is thin and light yet has flagship performance. It is equipped with Snapdragon 888+UFS 3.1+LPDDR 5, weighs only 162g and is only 8.18mm thick.

　　Meizu believes that small-screen mobile phones are not about simply cutting configurations to achieve a compact body, but about integrating full flagship performance into a one-handed size through design without sacrificing the light and thin feel.

　　The 3400 X 1400 ultra-high resolution presents a high pixel of 563 PPI on this 6.2-inch small screen. Meizu 18 may be the most delicate E4 AMOLED mobile phone screen on the market.

　　Meizu's 18 camera system is equipped with a 6400W Sony IMX 682 main camera sensor, Samsung wide-angle and macro S5K3P9SX sensors, and OmniVision telephoto OV08A10 sensor, plus ArcSoft algorithm tuning, which can produce good photos in various scenes.

　　Launch time

　　Meizu 18 has three colors: Stepping on Snow, Waiting for the Wind, and Crossing the Sea. The price of 8+128G is 4399 yuan, the price of 8+256G is 4699 yuan, and the price of 12+256G is 4999 yuan.
