Meizu 19 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Meizu 19 Pro - remnants of hope

Nostalgia is a very unusual thing. Sometimes it can give both positive and not the most pleasant emotions. So, it is very difficult to watch the fall of the Chinese company Meizu, which once produced incredibly relevant smartphones and accessories. Of course, the manufacturer sometimes pleases with new products like the hero of today's review, but it is impossible to buy them outside of China, and such events occur very rarely.

The appearance of the gadget is trying not to lose originality. If the block of four cameras itself has changed a little, then the branded ring of LED flashes is in place. The fact that the device belongs to the highest price category is also evident from the metal edging, the glass back panel, and the frameless screen around the entire perimeter. The applied 6.81-inch AMOLED display tries to be the best in every parameter. The highest resolution of 3200x1440 pixels testifies to the excellent clarity of the image, the amazing smoothness of which is achieved by a 120 Hz refresh rate. Of course, the buyer will also be surprised by the supply of brightness, thanks to which it is convenient to use the mobile assistant even in the summer on the street.

The updated phone is based on the top-end Mediatek Dimensity 9000 CPU . Surprisingly, the chipset is in many ways superior to the flagship counterpart from Qualcomm in both performance and energy efficiency. The developer has not stinted on a massive cooling system, so you can enjoy maximum graphics settings in your favorite Android games for several hours in a row. 8GB / 12GB of RAM and a powerful Mali G710 MC10 video chip will also come in handy for lightning-fast launch of applications, a smooth Android 12 interface. Unfortunately, the FlymeOS shell itself will have to be scolded rather than praised. The lack of translation into many languages, limited functionality are complemented by the fact that the software is essentially not updated. At the same time, software optimization is not bad, which translates into excellent autonomy. A 5000mAh battery will ask for a charger only after a day and a half of operation, while the power of wired charging was 65W, wireless - 25W. The internal storage of 128/256/512GB of UFS 3.1 format ROM does not cause negativity either.

The 50-, 32-, 13- and 2-megapixel photomodules are headed by a modified Samsung GN5 sensor, and also include a telephoto lens with a full 3x zoom. Excellent hybrid stabilization allows you to attribute the gadget to camera phones without a shadow of a doubt. Even night shots are characterized by realistic colors and excellent detail, even noise is not easy to detect with the naked eye. The volume of the stereo sound is beyond praise, the bass is also heard, albeit from about 100 hertz. NFC contactless payments, support for 5G networks expand the list of pluses, however, the inaccessibility of an Android smartphone in Europe and the CIS, the inflated price and the problems listed above seriously remove the device from the title of a hit.
