Compared with its dual-core predecessor,
Quad-Core Smartphone Meizu MX has better battery for talk-time, web browsing
and video playback. Besides, this model has the same specs of Galaxy S III.
Quad-core
Meizu MX has just been released for between $400 and $530
After dual-core models launched last year, the
Chinese manufacturer continues to introduce new quad-core model Meizu MX having
upgraded specs of previous ones. This smartphone has similar configuration to
Samsung Galaxy S III, including Exynos quad-core processor (1.4GHz), 1GB of
RAM, 32/64GB storage and 8MP camera.
However, battery capacity is 1,700mAh,
which is a little higher than that of its dual-core predecessor and quite lower
than that of Galaxy S III from Samsung. Practice has shown that despite having
longer runtime than previous models, quad-core MX cannot compete with the
Korean model Galaxy S III.
Test
on 3G talk-time
Meizu MX did a great job in the first test
of 3G talk-time with 10 hours, lower that of Galaxy S III (by 20 minutes) and
Galaxy Note (by 2 hours) but higher than talk-time of HTC’s quad-core One X.
Test
on web browsing via Wi-Fi
This the second test, Meizu had 5 hours and
19 minutes of web browsing. This figure was higher figures of Galaxy S III as
well as One X and especially twice as much as duration of 5.3-inch Galaxy Note.
For us, among tested quad-core smartphones, Meizu’s model had the best result.
Test
on video playback
The final test is about video playback. With
4-inch screen (640 x 960 pixels) plus ASV technology, Meizu achieved lower
result (6 hours and 33 minutes) than either Galaxy S III or Galaxy Note. However,
this model’s figure was quite higher than that of HTC quad-core/ dual-core One
X and Optimus 4X HD from LG.
Final
result
Overall, the battery of quad-core Meizu MX
got 38 hour runtime in condition of 3G calling, web browsing via Wi-Fi and
playing videos in each hour per day. This result was lower that dual-core
version’s one but higher than that of HTC One X.
