Chinese smartphones have long taken their placein the gadget market. Everyone is trying to bring something new to persuade the buyer in his direction. The main competition for today is Xiaomi, Meizu and Huawei. What is the best of it? It's hard to say, because "Huawei" is still a Chinese premium brand, which has been in the top 5 smartphone manufacturers around the world for more than a year now.
"Xiaomi" and "Maisa", although rank lower, but it is notprevents them from direct competition with many brands. However, to find out what is better, Meizu, Xiaomi or Huawei, it would not be entirely fair. The last brand one way or another is on a completely different level than the other two.
So the next article will be devoted only toquestion: "Which is better - smartphones Xiaomi or Meizu?". You can not call an obvious winner from this pair, because both have their pros and cons. Therefore, the winner will help determine a small comparative review.
This device has come to replace a very successful andpopular M3 model. The characteristics have not changed much, the only thing is, the new device has a plastic case, although in the usual version of the M3 it was also that. The metal case is model M5s, but for it it is necessary to pay a little from above, and technical characteristics thus do not vary.
4X is one of the most popular and soldmodels of "Xiaomi" in 2017. It replaced the first device, which did not have the prefix X. The main differences between the usual four and 4X are in the metal case and the improved stuffing of the smartphone.
Xiaomi 4x or Meizu m5 - which is better to choose from this, will help determine a comparative overview. The comparison will take place on 7 points, which will show both the pluses and minuses of the devices.
To help you figure out which smartphone is better, Meizu or Xiaomi, the technical characteristics of both devices will help. The first will be a device from the company "Meize".
So, the smartphone M5 has:
But the characteristics of Xiaomi 4X:
Based on the above described characteristics, it is possibleboldly answer the question: "Which is better, Xiaomi Redmi or Meizu M5?" Xiaomi. Still, Snapdragon and Adreno are much more productive than the bundle of Mediatek and Mali. In addition, Qualcomm's processors have very good optimization, so the battery charge is not so much spent.
Another stone in the garden of "Meyzu" becomesthe amount of RAM and built-in flash memory. "Xiaomi" offers the buyer a choice of a model with 2, 3 or 4 GB of RAM and up to 64 GB of internal memory, while "Meize" is limited to only 3 GB of RAM and 32 built-in.
In other respects, the characteristics of the two smartphones are identical, except for a slightly larger diagonal of the screen at Meize.
Thus, in terms of iron, the score is 4X.
In terms of design, Meizu M5 definitely wins.It has more body colors, there is a rounded glass on the edges, that is, 2.5D, and also excellent ergonomics, which makes it possible to operate the smartphone with one hand without problems. The display frames are thin, under the screen there is already a traditional mTouch button. The location of the volume and lock / power keys for both smartphones is the same.
Also, "Maisa" can be praised for the fact that the headphone jack is transferred from the top down.
As for 4X, then there is also 2.5D glassand even offered an aluminum case, while the M5 is polycarbonate. Ergonomics of the device at a high level, but not enough slightly more rounded corners. At the top end of the 4X is the infrared port for controlling the TV and the 3.5mm jack, which is not very convenient. The color of the device is only 3: black, golden and pink. Not so much.
And although smartphones, again, are very similar, but "Meize M5" is much more convenient in the hand, and its appearance and more vivid colors attract attention much more. The score is M5.
It's time to look at the interfaces of the twophones and understand what is best. Both Meizu and Xiaomi have several identical interfaces, which should be mentioned immediately. They have in common: a 3.5 mm connector, a micro-USB port, and not a Type-C, as now it's fashionable, GPS, GLONASS and A-GPS.
As for the Bluetooth module, 4X has morefresh version 4. 2 vs. 4. 0. Also different are the Wi-Fi modules. The M5 has a standard dual-band 801 b / g / n with frequencies of 2, 4 and 5 GHz, respectively, but the model from "Xiaomi" boasts only the traditional 802. 11 b / g / n. The NFC module is missing from one, and on the other hand, however, it is very difficult to find it on budget models.
In terms of interfaces, there is practically parity, so it will be fair to give 1 point to both participants.
Now it's time to compare the screens of two smartphones andto understand which is better. Meizu and Xiaomi have the same resolution of 1280x720, but they differ diagonally. "Meize" is 5.2 inches and 282 ppi, and "Xiaomi" - 5 inches straight and 296 ppi. Matrices in both smartphones are IPS, only here at "Xiaomi" is better factory calibration. Colors are bright, saturated, white color has no extraneous impurities, and black remains black.
"Meize" is a little worse. When tilting the image slightly violet or yellow, and with a slightly larger deviation, it begins to noticeably darken.
The reserve of brightness is sufficient in both cases, in bright sun the information remains readable. Multitouch supports up to 10 simultaneous touches. There is an oleophobic coating.
In general, for all indicators, the 4x display is small, but wins from the opponent, so the score goes to him.
If we say that it's better, Xiaomi or Meizu, inplan of sound, then there clearly wins the M5. Affects the past of the company "Meize", because they started with the production of portable audio players. Good high frequencies, medium ones are also auditioned, but the bass might be slightly more saturated. However, in any third-party player with equalizer support, this error is easily eliminated.
As for the "Xiaomi" 4x, then, to put it mildly,sound is not very. Rather, it is just standard, as on most budget devices. The low frequencies are very low, but the high ones are slightly overestimated. Plusx 4x can be put for the presence of an equalizer in the native player. By the way, if you adjust the equalizer manually, you can achieve quite a good result.
For the sound, the score is M5.
The entire line of Redmi is famous for its "survivability".In this case, a battery with a capacity of 4100 mAh is installed. From one charging smartphone is able to live more than a day with very moderate use, i.e. a little phone calls, a little more than an hour surfing the Internet, watching videos and listening to music. If you add games to this list, communication in instant messengers, social networks, etc., the phone will have to be charged every night.
"Meize" is still worse. The battery capacity here is less - 3070 mAh. As you can guess, with more or less active use of the phone will hardly survive until the evening. Score "Xiaomi".
Meizu or Xiaomi - which phone does it better?There is nothing special to say. The modules of both devices are the same and shoot roughly the same. In the afternoon, the pictures are of quite good quality, in the evening the phone is better not to get.
Frontal cameras also do not stand out for anything special. Both there and there are 5 Mp modules installed. For selfi this is more than enough, as for conversations on Skype.
The only thing, "Meize" can be praised for the traditional presence of a manual shooting mode, which allows you to achieve slightly more result, so that the score goes into the M5 money box.
As customer reviews show, the majorityleans in favor of the device from "Xiaomi" for understandable reasons: a metal case, 3 or 4 GB RAM, better display, batteries last longer. M5, unfortunately, can not boast of successes, but nevertheless it is also bought, although much less.
Answering the question, which is better, Xiaomi or Meizu,we can draw the following conclusion: according to the conducted comparative review, the following result is formed: 4: 4. Probably, this is quite a fair result, since each of these devices has both its pluses and minuses. A person who likes to play, hang in social networks and who does not really care about the sound quality, is ideal for 4x.
Well, those who like to listen to music,photographed on manual settings and are not particularly keen on surfing the Internet and socializing. networks, can safely take M5. It will be an excellent inexpensive purchase.
