Design
Meizu M10 is a big and beautiful smartphone. This is confirmed by its dimensions - 164.9 x 76.3 x 8.45 mm at a weight of 184 grams. Some users will find it difficult to use with just one hand, especially when typing. This seeming minus turns into a big plus when viewing videos, photos and other content on the screen.
The second thing that makes an impression is its mirrored frame. It immediately catches the eye. Visually, the Meizu M10 has everything it takes to outshine its competitors. It comes in three colours - black, blue and crimson. There is no metal in the body. The embedded plastic is carefully selected. All elements are perfectly matched.
Display
The smartphone is equipped with a 6.5-inch IPS display with an aspect ratio of 20:9. The resolution of the display matches the price range - 1600 x 720 pixels. The screen occupies 81.1% of the front panel area - an indicator that is not the highest and inferior to competitors on the modern market. The pixel density per inch is 270.
The display is covered with 2.5D glass, which makes it comfortable to navigate and more pleasant to hold in the hand. The feeling of quality is complemented by the presence of an oleophobic coating. Such is also placed on the rear panel, as it is noticeable how fingerprints disappear quickly.
The display's touch-sensitive layer detects up to 10 even super-light touches. A useful feature is the "Night Mode". Those of you who want can adjust the white balance to your preference. The screen backlight is adjustable manually or automatically. The maximum brightness is sufficient to continue reading from the screen even on a sunny day.
Performance
The MediaTek Helio P25 chipset has been chosen as the hardware base of the Meizu M10. It represents a slightly more powerful version of the Helio P20. It provides sufficient performance to perform all kinds of everyday tasks quickly and without slowing down, so on top. The RAM is 2/3 GB and the internal storage is 32 GB. You have the option to expand using a microSD memory card up to 128 GB. However, if you take advantage, you have to give up the second SIM card.
The smartphone runs Android 9.0 (Pie) operating system at the factory in combination with Flyme 8.
Cameras
The main camera on the Meizu M10 is triple. The main module has a resolution of 13 MP and a modest f/2.2. The photo quality even in good light is average. On the phone screen, the photos look satisfactory, but if you look at them on a larger display, you will notice the cons. You can use HDR to improve the results. The other two cameras are 2 MP resolution. They are designed to achieve a bokeh effect. LED flash, HDR and panorama mode are available.
The front camera is a single, 5 MP with an f/2.4 aperture. Its results are decent for the price class. There are beautification filters. If you're looking for a device whose photos you can be proud of on social media, this Meizu model doesn't qualify.
With the Meizu M10 in hand, you'll be shooting videos at 1080 pixels with the main camera and 720 pixels with the front camera. There is constant autofocus and the picture detail is average.
Autonomous operation
One of the trump cards of the Meizu M10 over its competitors is the battery capacity - 4000 mAh. Combined with the IPS screen and the older chipset, the results are slightly lowered, but fully sufficient for comfortable use within 3-4 days. If you use the 5V/2A charger, the charge will rise from 0% to 100% in less than two and a half hours.
