This year, to be exact January 9, 2017, marks 10 years since the first iPhone. Anniversary – serious date, high expectations from the American manufacturer, so Apple decided to call the future flagship of the company and not the iPhone 7 and 7S Plus, namely the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

XIAOMI MI 6 – REVIEW ANTICIPATED PHONES 2017, SPECS, PRICE, RELEASE DATE

Maybe someone does seem surprising, but Chinese companies devices excite the world no less than the top-end smartphones A-brands. Chinese brand Xiaomei had time to make some noise in the last year and did the right thing, because the more you talk about in the media, the more people know about you at all. So, Xiaomi Mi 6 will be very soon, as evidenced by the decrease in prices for last year’s flagship Xiaomei Mi5s 40%. To date, known to very interesting information allegedly Xiaomei MI6 device will come in three versions on different processors – the Snapdragon 835, Mediatek the Helio X30 and its own chip Pinecone.

HUAWEI P10 – REVIEW ANTICIPATED PHONES 2017, SPECS, PRICE, RELEASE DATE

Another expected unit of Chinese origin, who will receive flagship iron. Since the company, Huawei loves to promote their own chips, and then the next top-end Huawei P10 acquire newly developed products – chip Kirin 960. This is a very powerful solution, which is able to bypass the multi-core mode performance of the most powerful to date processor Apple A10 (in a synthetic benchmark GeekBench 4). Like the previous model, the unit P10 will be equipped with two cameras on the back side, but the internal drive, this time it will load in as many as 256 GB of data. As the saying goes, it is not bad.

Huawei brand devices in recent years have an active PR on blue screens, so the interest on the part of ordinary people to the Chinese manufacturer is growing every day. However, now Huawei creates the really good and very beautiful gadgets, take the same Honor 8 or Honor game Magic. We can only wish good luck to the company Huawei, and that she continue to delight us unique phones.

The company from South Korea have learned the lesson and this year we will have a completely not folding the LG G6, which will receive moisture protection and protection from overheating due to the copper heat pipes to dissipate heat (as in laptops).

Fitness Bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR (4 months of use)

It is time for the passive reader to contribute to the development of Nsmartphone, or wanting an overview of the underrated analog Xiaomi Mi Band 2!

The desire to buy a fitness bracelet or smart watches came a long time, but the lack of a display, and in some other high cost did not allow me to do it. Although the appointment of both different, wanted to try something at a very low price. After the release of Xiaomi Mi Band 2, I thought – that’s what I need: a minimal functional wearable, functional and complete fitness bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 1s. It was not there, after reading the comments on 4pda, I’m a little lost heart. Frequent marriages button scratched cover of the display, the lack of a full-fledged smart alarm clock, a small display, all this forced me to abandon the purchase of this device. So I started looking for another and stumbled on Meizu Bong 3 HR review. Full reviews on 4pda and the more surveys in Russian at that time was not what it seemed strange, all the same, Meizu is not a bad brand itself an interesting bracelet. This is caused by the low popularity of the company’s orientation to Chinese users. Without hesitation (08.02.2016) the order was placed (in a cap Set another dealer with a lower price!). August 10 seller sent the September 3, I got it.

EQUIPMENT

Here are all modest. The box of the Meizu Bong 3 HR review itself is a capsule, strap, manual and charging cable.

APPEARANCE

In a nutshell, minimalistic and elegant. Suitable and man, but a woman.

The entire front side of the Meizu Bong 3 HR review is covered with a protective glass. (Did not find the information on the materials, I think it’s glass.) Total Operating appeared only a couple of scratches inconspicuous.

Black and white OLED display diagonal of 0.91 inches has two brightness levels and can accommodate up to 2 times more information than the display Mi Band 2. In the summer sunshine on the screen hard to see anything in the rest of the time all perfectly readable under all viewing angles.

On the reverse side are located: a sensor heart / blood oxygen (blue LED flashes when the work) and contacts for charging (slightly oxidized). In the box for sensors seemingly traces from water, but in reality – just a drop of Chinese glue.

The concave shape allows the capsule to adhere perfectly to the wrist.

Made of comfortable material. The capsule is inserted from below, sitting tight. Mounting as with other bracelets, using the latch holds up well. For all time use were small scrapes on one of the faces.

Sellers in the sale are only one version of the standard strap, although advertised many other, more vivid.

FUNCTIONAL

On the bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review there are no mechanical or touch-sensitive buttons, all the control realized with gestures changes position in space. Activation of the screen is done by rotating the wrist gesture in the direction of the person. Further, transition between modes occurs either automatically or manually using the same gesture (configurable in the app). Gesture hands abduction blanks the screen. The screen also can pay off after 14 seconds, hold the bracelet in the same position. Manage gestures works flawlessly. False positives do happen, but not so often, and almost do not interfere (illuminating the room at night).

You can customize the display of information on the screen in the application – either in the course of the hand, or side to side. In some places across fit more information.

On the bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review, you can watch this.

• Clock (date, time, day of the week);
• Completed steps;
• The distance covered;
• Spent energy (kcal);

Current weather: general condition and rainfall – sunny / cloudy / rain / snow; temperature in degrees Celsius; the amount of fine dust / PM particles (probably true for the Chinese); and one more unknown parameter;

The measured heart rate and blood oxygen saturation.

Time zone, date, time, weather is pulled from the phone. Most likely this message is displayed when the current weather is not loaded.

Other bracelet features, working in conjunction with a smartphone:

Notice of calling: the bracelet vibrates and the display shows the caller’s name if it appears on a phone or a phone number in full. The notification does not occur immediately, and after 1-2 seconds after the call.

Notification Messaging SMS, Wechat, QQ: bracelet vibrates and displays text messages, breaking into two parts.
Smart alarm: vibration wakes, not long before the specified time in the application, in a shallow sleep phase.
sports training mode (below is more).

It is said that the withdrawal of any text is supported only in the Latin alphabet. So I moved a couple of the most frequently used contacts to English.

Bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review paired with Oneplus One. Communication holds good, 15-20 meters without obstacles.

Install applications «bong international» from the Play Store. The app is beautifully decorated and a pleasure to use. Interface in English, but the difficulties should arise.

We make the initial configuration: specify the gender, height, weight, date of birth, bong id, sleep normal, planned expenditure of calories.

Consider three useful tabs and “most interesting” items.

The important point, which, judging by the name of the device class must be main.
The application selects one of the three types of physical activity (Tab Timeline, the mode icon in the upper-right corner):

• Running. Use the “default” for daily physical activity;
• Fitness. It is characterized by almost continuous (every minute) heart rate measurement;
• Cycle. Velotrenerovoka. It is characterized by frequent measurements of heart rate, it uses a GPS module. (In my builds itinerary. Do not check)

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTS

The measurement accuracy of the pedometer.

He conducted several experiments, the result was as follows: the average of the 50 practical steps counted 46 steps from 100 – 95. I am satisfied with this result. Though if they will lie down in it. Sometimes winds pedometer steps for simple hand movements, but that will not go away. When driving in transport extra twitching filtered. When running the measurement error increases.

The accuracy of heart rates measurement.

As you can see in the quiescent state it is very similar to the truth. After a small load (sit-ups and push-ups) I received the following:

Either I tonometer lying or problems with heart rate measurement is not.

Time measurement Pulse 20-30 seconds. The first versions of firmware heart rate often produce errors, and more lying, now apparently corrected.

“Accuracy” measuring blood oxygen saturation.

About this I can not say) I think the figures are derived from the bulldozer and untrue (always 97-99%). In general, this function is useless.

AUTONOMY

The bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review depends on the use of modes and settings. I wear the bracelet without having to remove the settings: normal brightness level included monitoring heart rate (every hour) and the bracelet in this mode works for about two weeks. When low battery icon is displayed on the bracelet.

RELIABILITY

We should also say that the device is “Verified” is water-resistant, can withstand high temperatures (several times went to the bath, in the shower) and with proper use does not lose the original appearance.

A few words of support.
On the phone often come to update the application and firmware for the bracelet. It appears new features (for example, on the bracelet added display of weather in the annex – a window for weight control), bug fixes, improved algorithms. Hopefully in the future, developers will add support for other instant messengers, would also like to see the Cyrillic alphabet!

IMHO

In general, all of the current functionality implemented on the bracelet and in Annex I are satisfied. I am satisfied with quality workmanship and good support. On Meizu Bong 3 HR review should pay attention to if you want to get a good fitness bracelet!

Review Meizu U20: (un) typical Maze

Last couple of years Meizu smartphone lineup is growing at such a rate as if it was not a small Chinese company and Samsung a couple of years ago. But not all approve of the manufacturer, especially when half a year after the announcement of a successor model comes with almost the same characteristics and identical design. Apparently, the Chinese also realized that we needed to somehow divide their smartphones and created an alternative to its mass M-Series – U10 and the Meizu U20 review model. Today acquainted with the elder.

CONTENTS OF DELIVERY

Meizu U20 review comes in a standard cardboard box sizes with modest minimum contents: cable, charger, branded beautiful clip and documentation.

DESIGN AND USABILITY

At the time of the announcement of the Meizu M3 Note it became apparent that would not hurt to somehow diversify the design of smartphones Meizu because even the company’s flagship “become familiar”. Relatively fresh Meizu U20 review is precisely this diversity, and we can immediately say that the attempt failed.

Against the background of different combinations of plastic and metal that dominate the design of the rest of the Meizu U20 review glass panel with a metal frame between them look pretty cool. The smartphone is available in a completely white, black and gold, as well as in the version with a pink “back” and a white front panel.

Otherwise, the phone Meizu U20 review is made in the spirit of the Meizu. Front panel tends to symmetry. Below the display is the only control button with the built-in fingerprint reader, which also acts as a key “Home” and “Back”. Sensors and front camera are located on either side of the earpiece, and the white light of missed events hidden under the glass and invisible when turned off.

On the left is a tray for two or NanoSIM one SIM and memory cards. Right – the volume on and keys. The top of the hole can be found only a second microphone, and all connectors and speaker calling collected from the bottom.

In terms of build quality machine it does not quite live up to the ideal characteristics, but in general everything is done well. The metal frame is actually assembled from smaller segments, overlays that are ubiquitous in the conditional inexpensive smartphones, but then the panels are made and fitted fairly high quality, with a minimum of seams.

For ease of use Meizu U20 review can be called average. The smartphone is beautiful, but the body shape is closer to a rectangle, rounded corners and a minimum version of the design can hardly be called the most ergonomic for the 5.5-inch smartphone.

On the other hand, it is the very convenient physical button below the display and support gestures for opening the notifications panel compensate the roughness. By and large, the phone only troubled the side keys – in our smartphone were some “sluggish”. Poor felt a click, push comes at a time when the button is hidden in the frame.

SCREEN

Most of the front of the smartphone Meizu U20 review takes a 5.5-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution. It covers safety glass with rounded edges and oleophobic coating. The manufacturer is not trying to achieve the effect of the screen from edge to edge, so the matrix surrounds the barely visible thin black frame and the basic white front panel.Take variant design looks quite neat.

According to our measurements, the brightness of the display varies from 2 to 344 cd / m², contrast ratio – 1 to 740. The numbers are not a record, but it is quite good for its class. They mean that in baseline characteristics bad display, the user can choose a comfortable level of brightness to be used in the dark and in the sun.

From the viewpoint of color, fidelity can be called a good matrix. The picture does not look too oversaturated, compared to many modern smartphones closer to the natural color. automatic brightness control sensor is not working correctly with respect, but with slight delays. Overall, Meizu U20 good display.

HARDWARE PLATFORM, OPERATING TIME

Specifications Meizu U20 review nearly 100% repeat Meizu M3 Note. The smartphone is based on MediaTek Helio P10 platform and is available in two configurations with 2 and 16 GB or 32 GB and 3. Instead of the second SIM card can be installed. The rest of “iron” appropriate dual-band Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS. The absence of FM-radio and a selection MicroUSB connector instead of the USB Type-C can be seen as a means of saving, which is forgivable for these smartphones.

In general, the lack of available equipment to the smartphone worked quickly and did not fall face in the dirt in the games. It is comfortable for everyday use, social networking and so on.

Reducing the capacity of the battery with 4100 mAh to 3260 (compared to the Meizu M3 Note), predictable impact on the smartphone operating time. With an average load, the machine is light day-night if you are using the mobile Internet, instant messengers and social networks, a little phone call, and a little photograph. Working hours can be considered normal, but if Meizu better optimizes the performance of their smartphones, the device could work longer.

In terms of the quality of the speakers and play music on headphones smartphone is also a little different from M3 Note. Ringing loud speaker, good quality. The spoken speaker also has a decent volume of stock, but I thought it sounds a bit harsh, so the voices of some interviewees perceived worse than usual. Music playback quality headphones common and suit most users. The manufacturer did not provide a separate sound chip or something like that, so in that sense, the model is noticeably inferior to the flagship Meizu.

SOFTWARE PLATFORM

The smartphone Meizu U20 review runs on Android 6.0 and proprietary shell Flyme 5.2.4.0G. We got a device intended for the Chinese market, but the seller carefully prepared him for use in Ukraine, set the firmware with the appropriate localization and Google.

As is the case with MIUI on smartphones Xiaomi, Flyme on Meizu makes these devices the most different from most others in terms of software. Android version has minimal impact on the functionality and use of the experience because these factors are determined Flyme OS.

The shell has a simple and concise design, that can be attributed to its merits. Very conveniently organized management system. MTouch Touch keys work as “Back” button – “Home”, and hold your smartphone locks. To access the list of running applications need soapnuts from the bottom edge of the display.

Advanced users can irritate the other little things. For example, poorly integrated firmware assistant Google Now, notice may come with a delay, and the icons of the majority of third party applications look much worse than the built-in programs.

CAMS

Similarly, the “hardware” in terms of features similar camera Meizu U20 review and M3 Note. It features a 13-megapixel main unit with aperture f / 2.2, auto focus and a two-section flash, front-facing camera to 5 megapixels with the wide-angle lens with f / 2.0 aperture.

In the absolute sense, the camera is not anything special – it’s the usual modules specific affordable modern smartphones. They are comparable to that offered by competitors for the same money. With good lighting, the camera will make good pictures, work relatively quickly and accurately. In all other, more complex shooting conditions or have to put up with not very high-quality photos, or refuse to use the camera. In the context of the cost of the camera of the smartphone can be considered normal. In some situations, it may be useful manual shooting mode that allows you to control shutter speed, ISO, focus, etc.

PROS: DESIGN AND HOUSING MATERIALS; COMPETITIVE PRICE; GOOD DISPLAY; NORMAL PERFORMANCE; FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND EASY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING THE SAME PHYSICAL KEYS

CONS: ROUGHNESS (CAN BE CRITICAL FOR ADVANCED USERS); VAGUE COURSE OF PHYSICAL KEYS IN THE TEST SMARTPHONE; BLUFF SOUND EARPIECE

CONCLUSION
