Screen fingerprint:

▲ Meizu 16th side fingerprint recognition

Meizu believes that the back fingerprint recognition is a kind of backwardness of experience, so Meizu 16th adopts the screen fingerprint recognition scheme. At present, there are not many mobile phones using the screen fingerprint recognition scheme. The fingerprint recognition technology in the screen hides the fingerprint recognition sensor at the bottom of the screen. Unlike ordinary capacitive sensors, Meizu 16 uses an optical fingerprint sensor to draw fingerprint images by sensing different reflections of light on the surface of the finger. Meizu 16th requires offline Samsung fingerprints to use Samsung custom AMOLD screens, AMOLED screens. The diamond pixel arrangement is different from the fingerprint recognition sensor pixel arrangement method, which will cause the pattern formed by the light cast on the sensor to have a moiré effect recognition. Meizu will rotate the fingerprint recognition sensor angle by 13.7° to remove the moiré from the misalignment. Internal component stacking needs to be redesigned.

Super mBack:

▲ Meizu 16th HOME button

Meizu 16th's comprehensive screen design makes it impossible to put down the mBack HOME button on the front side. Instead, it is a horizontal line under the screen. This screen point and mBack come together once. The position of the small dot at the bottom of the screen has pressure sensing, which can realize mBack. Tap Back, press the HOME button function to achieve the same operation experience as the previous mBack entity button.

▲Super mBack basic operation

Meizu will use the pressure on the screen to realize the function of the HOME button on the screen of the Meizu 16th. At the same time, it also retains the function of tapping and returning, so that the small dots in this screen have the same operation mode as the previous mBack, The good operation experience of mBack. The Meizu 16th screen has a special pressure sensor in the horizontal position. Although it is a virtual button, it can realize the operation feeling like physical buttons with pressure sensing, and there will be vibration feedback when pressed strongly, and touch There is no vibration feedback when returning.

▲ background switching operation

Meizu 16th provides 3 kinds of background switching modes, which are based on gesture operation, and the gesture operation is another mode of Meizu Flyme system that brings good interaction in addition to the HOME button. The operation of sliding up the application background is Meizu user. Familiar, the newly added horizontal sliding bottom bar switches the background task and long presses the blank area of the bottom bar, follows the finger sliding, and switches the background task. The two switching modes are the charm blue full screen proprietary, which can improve the background application. Switching speed, two adjacent background apps can be switched quickly, which simplifies the operation of background switching.

Gesture navigation

The gesture navigation provided by Meizu 16th mainly implements the HOME key, return and application background functions. After gesture navigation, the screen horizontal line on Meizu 16th will disappear, and all operations of the navigation bar will become gesture operations. The Meizu 16th's under-screen horizontal line has excellent operating experience, but it will occupy the screen space. Now gesture navigation just solves these problems one by one.

The gesture navigation on Meizu 16th mainly provides three functions. It can be turned up and down at the bottom of the screen to realize the return function. The left button slides up at the bottom of the screen to realize the HOME button function. After the long slide at the bottom of the screen, the app background function is paused. The original screen of Meizu The function of the application background in the bottom slide has been canceled, so the user needs some time to get used to the new operation.

Meizu 16th not only has gesture navigation at the bottom of the screen, but also does not navigate through the screen to achieve gesture navigation. This function does not seem to be explained in this system update. In the Meizu 16th screen, the left and right edges of the screen are short-slip to achieve the return function, on the left and right edges of the screen. The long-slide position realizes the HOME key function, and the application background function is paused after the long-slip position on the left and right edges of the screen, so that the left and right side-sliding operations are more convenient.

Meizu 16th touch engine:

Meizu 16th test summary: Bornism and innovation

If iPhone X is the ancestor of Liu Haiping, then all the mobile phones using Liu Haiping are paying tribute to iPhone X. The design of copying iPhone may have become the 'hidden rule' when designing mobile phones by mobile phone manufacturers. Perhaps it should be called Bringing in. But in fact, which mobile phone manufacturer did not pay tribute to Apple? Which mobile phone does not have the design on the iPhone, there are now or future designs? Even Meizu has a tribute to Apple. Of course, The simple use of the originalism without modification is directly superficial, which ultimately brings about a serious homogenization problem. I don’t see Liu Haiping’s mobile phones almost always look the same. Meizu is not willing to adopt this kind of practice. Meizu has its own opinions and does not follow the trend.
