Last week, Meizu released a new model 21 Pro, which is officially called “the end of Meizu’s smartphone era”, and its performance in all aspects is still very bright, which is a perfect full stop for Meizu. As an ordinary consumer, playing the feelings card certainly can not let me pay. At present, the model of Meizu 21 Pro competing with each other is Xiaomi 14 Pro, so what are the differences between the two mobile phones, today we will have a good comparison, I believe you will know how to choose after reading.
1 Meizu has a unique white panel
First, let’s look at the exterior design. The Meizu 21 Pro continues the concise and generous design language of the previous generation, and there is a white panel version to choose from, and the appearance level is higher. The Meizu 21 Pro offers a 2.5D micro-arc process on both the front and back covers for greater comfort in the hand. The material of the middle frame is aviation grade aluminum alloy, and the overall workmanship is relatively exquisite. Meizu’s experience and aesthetics in appearance design always rank at the forefront of the industry.
The highlight of the Mi 14 Pro is the full depth micro curved screen, the overall black edge control is also very good, the look and feel of the screen are taken care of. The rear camera has “Paris studs”, which are more refined than the previous one. But Mi 14 Pro only bright glass optional, exclusive color will have a more serious fingerprint imprint, if you like the design of Mi 14 Pro, it is recommended to buy white color.
Design can not evaluate the quality of a mobile phone, because everyone has a different definition of good-looking, radish cabbage has his own love. However, the design of a mobile phone can largely determine the user’s purchase intention, if you like it at the first glance, it is planted grass, and other configuration defects can also be automatically filtered.
Do you think Meizu’s design looks good, or Xiaomi’s design is better? I have counted the opinions of my colleagues, and most of them think that the look and feel of Meizu is more pleasing, indeed, the more concise design is often popular in the first impression, and is more classic.
2 Hardware Xiaomi image stronger
Of course, while good design is important, hardware configuration cannot be ignored. Meizu 21 Pro and Millet 14 Pro as a flagship mobile phone, the core performance will certainly not have much difference, are equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 processor, whether it is to play games or daily use, there will be no problem. With the current performance, the third-generation Snapdragon 8 processor is not a problem for three or four years.
The difference is that the two mobile phones have a big difference in image performance. The Mi 14 Pro, with the Light Hunter 900 as its main lens, also has a 50-megapixel Leica ultra-wide angle and a 50-megapixel 75mm telephoto lens. In software, the Mi 14 Pro also supports Leica style tuning, has a more unique label, although it is not equipped with an inch sensor, but the strength is also very strong.
The image performance of Meizu 21 Pro has been significantly upgraded compared with the previous generation. The new product is a 50-megapixel OV50H sensor with a 1/1.3 super bottom and a large aperture of f1.9, supplemented by a 13-megapixel ultra-wide Angle and a 10-megapixel 3X telephoto lens. Although the hardware level has improved compared to its own, it is still an old problem, but it is certainly enough for daily use.
In other configurations, the Meizu 21 Pro is equipped with the new mTouch Max large-area ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology, which is better than the ultra-thin fingerprint unlock of the Xiaomi 14 Pro. However, Meizu 21 Pro requires no film or the officially recommended toughened film fingerprint unlock to play its full strength.
Finally, in terms of battery life, the Meizu 21 Pro has a built-in 5050mAh battery, which supports 80W wired fast charge and 50W wireless charging. Xiaomi 14 Pro is equipped with 4610mAh battery and 90W fast charge 50W wireless charging, equipped with the surging P1 intelligent fast charge chip and the surging G1 battery management chip, the battery life of the two mobile phones have reached the flagship level, the gap in the use of experience will not be very big.
Overall, if you often take photos every day, then the choice of millet 14 Pro is definitely better. Meizu 21 Pro performance and image is not bad, daily use of small functions such as ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, the rear Aicy ring is more practical.
3 2024 Mobile AI capabilities really matter
2023 is the first year of the explosion of AI, and generative AI officially enters our lives as a productivity tool. Entering 2024, major mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to lay out AI, after all, the ability of artificial intelligence is growing exponentially, and the longer the lag, the more obvious the gap will be opened. Another highlight of Meizu 21 Pro is its AI capability, and Meizu provides the best support for “upstream and downstream partners” and “developers” with an open attitude, and fully embraces the AI ecology.
In the new Flyme 10.5 system of Meizu 21 Pro, many AI functions will also be gradually updated, such as the current voice assistant Aicy will support copywriting, voice painting and other functions. The AI photo function can also help you to be more professional when shooting, and the magic elimination helps you to retouch the photo more conveniently. Although Meizu’s AI is still in its infancy, it is believed that it will become more and more perfect and stronger in the future.
Although the Xiaomi 14 Pro is pre-installed with Xiaomi’s newly released surging OS, the release speed of AI capabilities is significantly behind that of friends. Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, released a bold statement in the MWC 2024 conference that “It is meaningless to add an AI to the name of the mobile phone, and every day, AI actually has no AI”,” When you don’t feel AI, I think this is the greatest value of AI.”
We do not comment on Lu Weibing’s speech, but have to deny that AI will have a very big change in our work and life, embracing change and walking in the forefront of The Times is the basic skill of every technology company, we believe that Millet has also begun to prepare AI-related functions, but it has not been announced. So if you want to experience AI in advance, choose Meizu 21 Pro.
