Meizu 18s Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Meizu 18s Pro - an imperceptible revision

The Chinese company Meizu today is clearly not the most popular developer that we saw a few years ago. The strength and resources of the company are only enough to release not the most numerous circulation of flagship smartphones, and even then within China. And it seems that the corporation's funds are coming to an end, because the hero of today's review almost literally copies his predecessor and makes very modest changes to it.

The design of the device is already familiar to a fan of the brand from the previous model of the line. However, it is simply impossible to call a completely frameless AMOLED panel irrelevant, a huge block of four cameras with a proprietary ring of LED flashes and a beautiful glass back panel in a metal edging, which practically does not protrude from the ergonomic body. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen is still on the list of the best thanks to the combination of a resolution of 3200x1440 pixels, the highest brightness reserve and a refresh rate of 120 hertz . Under the durable glass of the display there is a fast fingerprint sensor with extremely good accuracy.

The technical characteristics are presented by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ CPU, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 660 graphics adapter. You can only see the difference between the used processor and the ordinary 888th chip based on the benchmark results. In reality, any resource-intensive games are still surprisingly smooth at maximum graphics presets, but jerks and jerks may appear after a while due to throttling. The phablet also heats up a lot after several hours of gameplay. The power efficiency of the most powerful chipset is far from record, however, you will not come to think about charging a 4500mAh battery more than once a day. The UFS 3.1 format ROM received a volume of 128 / 256GB without the possibility of expansion.

The photographic performance of the main cameras is excellent. The main 50-megapixel Samsung GN1 sensor will delight you with the quality of the photo and video sequence even in mediocre lighting, a significant role in maintaining the abundance of details is played by both hybrid stabilization and high-quality lenses. Sony's 32MP wide-angle lens, 8MP 3x telephoto zoom and TOF sensor are also great for the true mobile photographer. The flagship also did not do without stereo sound and NFC contactless payment. Support for 5G frequencies is also available, which can not be said about Russian, Ukrainian and other languages due to the orientation of the device to the domestic market. This flaw, along with the overpriced and low-functionality FlymeOS shell, will be few, but still critical, obstacles to the success of an Android smartphone.
