This is a wonderful mobile phone M8 experience that knows you better.

IT 168 Evaluation On May 9, Meitu held the "Meitu M8 Trend Party" in Xiamen, and officially released the new mobile phone Meitu M8. Although the positioning is lower than Meitu T8, the front camera configuration as the core hardware has not shrunk, and the starting price is 2599 yuan lower than Meitu T8. So what is the difference between Meitu M8 and Meitu T8, and how to choose when buying? I believe this is the most concerned issue for most users before purchasing.

Meitu M8 focuses on artificial intelligence selfie and personalized customization, and focuses on the upgrade and optimization of beauty algorithms. And the appearance of Mito mobile phone has always been unique, while Mito M8 generally continues Mito's consistent double V design in appearance, but supports personalized customization. Then this time, I will interpret Mito M8 mainly from two aspects: appearance and selfie.

At the beginning of the article, let's take a look at the main hardware configuration of Meitu M8.

Although the positioning is lower than the flagship product T series, the configuration of Meitu M8, which has been focusing on the front camera, has not shrunk, and Sony's IMX362 dual-pixel camera has been adopted. In the front camera of each mobile terminal, it basically belongs to the top matching. The rear camera also uses the same Sony IMX230 sensor as T8, and the high pixel ensures the delicate picture quality.

In terms of imaging, Meitu M8 is exactly the same as the flagship product T8, but slightly different in other hardware configurations.

In terms of performance, Meitu T8 is equipped with MediaTek's MT6797 processor, clocked at 2.3GHz, and Meitu M8 is equipped with MediaTek's MT6797m processor, clocked at 2. 1GHz. Speaking of MT6797, you may be a little strange, but this is actually the product model of Helio X20. Everyone must be familiar with Helio X20, which was promoted by MediaTek last year and widely adopted. Meizu MX6 and Redmi Note4 use this processor. While MT6797m is a down-converted version of MT6797, and its overall performance is poor, but the gap is very small.

Both Meitu T8 and Meitu M8 are equipped with 4GB of running memory, but the storage capacity of Meitu T8 is larger, which is 128GB, and Meitu M8 is 64GB.

In terms of appearance, Meitu T8 is an all-metal body design, and Meitu M8 adopts glass+metal middle frame technology. Two different technologies also determine the difference of interior design space between Meitu T8 and Meitu M8. Meitu T8 has reserved more battery space, with a battery capacity of 3580mAh, while Meitu M8 has a battery capacity of 3000mAh.

Processor, body storage, battery capacity and appearance are the four major differences between Meitu M8 and Meitu T8.

Simply put, the main frequency difference of 0.2GHz processor has little effect on performance, and the storage capacity of 64GB is enough for most users. One of the main advantages of Helio X20 is its excellent energy efficiency ratio, which is more than enough for a day's moderate use with a battery of 3000 mAh. In other words, the differences in processor, body storage and battery capacity all fall on the experience, but the differences are actually very small. From the appearance, glass and metal are far from superior or inferior. Therefore, I suggest buying Mito M8.

Let's interpret the appearance of Mito M8.

Overall design, Meitu M8 is also the iconic double V shape of Meitu. Users who don't understand or pay attention to Mito mobile phones always think that Mito mobile phones are different in shape or even wonderful. However, from my point of view, the overall slender appearance ratio of Meitu M8 is indeed different from that of conventional modeling mobile phones on the market, but it is particularly exquisite, which highlights great differentiation.

In addition, it should be noted that the press conference actually mentioned that Mito M8 has two screen versions. One is a 5.2-inch AMOLED screen and the other is a 5. 15-inch TFT screen, which users can choose when purchasing. As for the reasons behind it, it is also very simple. Apple purchased a large number of AMOLED screens (75 million according to the news of exposure) for the production and manufacture of the new iPhone. Therefore, AMOLED screens are out of stock worldwide. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal supply of M8, Meitu adopted two screen schemes.

The use of two screens also brings the difference of the overall size of the fuselage. The biggest difference is that the version using TFT screen is 0.3mm larger than that using AMOLED screen.

Without marking, can you see the difference in appearance between Meitu M8 and the previous generation Meitu M6s?

The back of Mito M8 is made of glass, and the use of large-area curved glass makes the back of the fuselage fit the palm of your hand. Even if the thickness of the fuselage exceeds 9mm, it still has a good grip. Although the overall shape is not divided too much. However, Meitu M8 adopts hexagonal 3D glass processed by ncvm coating process, which presents a bright texture and further enhances the grip.

Meitu M8 and Meitu M6s also have some differences in the appearance of the main camera. The metal protection around M8 main camera is thinner than M6s, and it is decorated with CD pattern, which will look more exquisite.

At the bottom of the fuselage are speakers, Type-C data interface, earphone interface and microphone in turn. There is no bright spot, and it is quite satisfactory.

"summary

In terms of appearance, it is obvious that Meitu mobile phone will be somewhat different from ordinary mobile phone products. Under the unique double V shape, it actually has the attributes of fashion accessories. In the overall shape, Meitu M8 adopts the classic design elements of Meitu, which is not much different from the previous generation Meitu M6s in appearance, although it does not reflect much new ideas. However, the addition of the six-curved 3D glass panel has brought a more glossy texture, and the perception and grip have been improved to a certain extent, which is beautiful and exquisite. The following is the main part of this evaluation, Meitu M8 beauty selfie. Because it doesn't belong to the same series as the Mito T8 released some time ago, when it comes to comparison, we mainly compare it with its previous generation Mito M6s.

Except for the change of screen size, Meitu M6s uses eight nuclear processor (Helio P 10) of MT6755, and Meitu M8 uses ten-core processor (Helio X20) of MT6797m. Helio P 10 and Helio X20 are two processor products with different positioning, with Helio X20 as the flagship and Helio P 10 as the mid-range. Compared with the previous generation products, the performance has been greatly improved.

Performance improvement can be regarded as a conventional hardware upgrade, but Meitu M8 did not focus on this aspect. As a mobile phone focusing on beauty selfies, Meitu M8 focuses on the improvement of beauty algorithms and "opens the era of artificial intelligence selfies". In a word, the new beauty algorithm has the ability of continuous self-learning and stronger adaptability to the environment. Based on the information of self-learning, each photo is given a more targeted beautification plan to create a personality beauty of thousands of people.

As for the front camera, as mentioned earlier, it uses the Sony IMX362 front dual-pixel camera, which is the same sensor as the flagship series T8. Compared with the previous generation products, the focusing, imaging and image quality have been greatly improved.

Having said so much, I believe everyone is not interested. Let's take a look at the self-portrait proofs.

First of all, because of the newly upgraded artificial intelligence, the front camera of Meitu M8 has added portrait mode, which can distinguish the portrait and background in the photo. In this mode, the degree of background blur can be adjusted manually. Judging from the actual proofs, the background blur effect is obvious, and the characters are more prominent. Careful observation of the edge of the portrait, hair and other people's edge details have been well preserved, the details are clear.

Let's take a look at the self-portrait proofs in front, mainly looking at the beauty effect.

I found four friends to experience the beauty effect of Mito M8 front camera. Meitu M8' s front camera provides 1-7*** seven levels of beauty to choose from, and the beauty settings also provide subdivision adjustment options such as removing spots and acne, lightening dark circles, facial features, whitening teeth and improving complexion. This is because the newly upgraded artificial intelligence can recognize skin, skin color, chest circumference, contour, hair and so on. Portraits other than age, gender and facial features are analyzed in depth to make the optimization more detailed and the beauty effect more natural.

For people who don't use beauty cameras very much, there is always an inherent impression that they are "not like themselves" and "not like themselves". Among the comments given by friends who have tried Mito M8, "natural" is the word with the highest frequency. Finally, the effect of beauty is different. I want to quote my previous conclusion again: "When it comes to beauty selfies, Meitu really hasn't lost anyone".

On the other hand, on the system side, Meitu M8 runs the version of MeiOS 3.6 based on Android 6.0. Because in fact, the Android native system itself has become more and more perfect in function. The gap between the functions, ease of use and system performance of customized UIs of various mobile phone manufacturers is getting smaller and smaller. Such as long screen shots, cloud backup, security center, etc. Basically, you have all my basic functions, but the characteristics of MEIOSmeios can only be its unique interface style and pre-installed Meitu applications.

In terms of system interface, MEIOS always insists on the design of long icons, which is consistent with the appearance style of its products, and realizes the unification of software and hardware design languages.

MEIOS 3.6 system is pre-installed with poster factory, beauty camera, hipster selfie and Mito remote control. The Mito camera with powerful hardware performance has high playability.

"evaluation

"summary

Although the appearance of Mito M8 has not changed much compared with the previous generation products of the same series, the details of the fuselage are more exquisite and the texture is further improved. M8 adopts the same camera configuration as Meitu T8, and the hardware performance is similar, but the price is more close to the people. The newly upgraded artificial intelligence can achieve more accurate identification and optimization on the beauty algorithm and provide more targeted beauty solutions. And through the continuous iteration of several generations of products and the continuous improvement of the Android system itself, the current MEIOS is not inferior to the mainstream Android mobile phone products in the market. Users who haven't touched Mito's mobile phone may worry that Mito M8 is a vase and can only be used as a selfie camera. Don't worry.

As a mobile phone product focusing on beauty selfies, Meitu M8 can provide almost the same experience as Meitu T8. Compared with the two, I think Mito M8 will be more worth buying.
