E series has added color to the history of Meizu, and the appearance of many mobile phones has changed.
Looking at the product positioning and laying of Meizu at this stage, from the initial dream model MX series, to the later youth products Charm Blue and Charm Blue note series, to the later high-end PRO series and the gradually differentiated design Charm Blue E, U and Max series, Meizu has fully filled in the price positioning at each stage. However, it should not be overlooked that all models are designed with obvious Meizu characteristics.
The Beginning of Meizu Style M8/M9
Meizu M8 was officially listed on February 18, 2009. It was the first mobile phone product of Meizu Company and one of the most successful domestic mobile phones at that time. Be praised as king by netizens quot domestic mobile phone. According to statistics of Baidu Data Research Center, Meizu M8 was rated as the top ten mobile phones of the year in 2009. Of course, at present, there is nothing to say about the appearance of Meizu, but the title quot domestic machine emperor quot naturally comes from the appearance. The design of iPhone has always been regarded as a benchmark by the industry. The conflicting design patents of Meizu M8 and iPhone once again show that M8 does have its sparkle.

Meizu M9 is an upgraded and evolved version of M8. Although it doesn't change much from the overall shape, it looks tougher overall, and obviously more efforts have been made in the details. M9 uses Android 2.2 kernel, adds back key and menu key around the Home key, and changes the oval M key into a square key that fits the hand shape better. The circular opening of the receiver M8 was changed into a long opening, and a logo with more China charm was added in the upper right corner of the quot Meizu quot panel. Different from the high-gloss back shell of M8, Meizu M9 adopts a low-key matte design, and the overall atmosphere is more restrained.

MX series starts from focusing on small and beautiful, which makes Meizu grow stronger.
Speaking of Meizu mobile phone, the most impressive thing is its MX series model. When Meizu released only one product in each generation, MX series has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and has a small and beautiful image. It was from Meizu MX that Meizu style gradually took shape. Today, although its style has changed a lot, its soul has not changed at all, with an aesthetic blessing of 3354 and an independent personality.
Meizu MX series
From the original MX to MX3, it can be said that the aesthetics of appearance has been well inherited, and the overall appearance has not changed much, but the details have been improved more and more. MX adopts a round solid Home key, and retains the back key and menu key. The back of the fuselage adopts an integrated detachable back shell, which is treated with a large arc and has a good grip.

Based on MX, MX2 cancels the physical Home key, back key and menu key, and adopts a small circle design, which inherits various interactive functions on the small circle, which is not only practical, but also makes the front panel look cleaner and neater.

MX3 can be said to express Meizu's aesthetic concept of S to the extreme. Flyme's larger screen, narrower frame, slimmer body, full-featured small circle Home button, relatively centered rear camera and flat design make it unique. Great design quot is the essence of Meizu MX3. In order to get a better grip, Huang Zhang, the head of Meizu, personally polished the 3 1 wooden model, thus creating the MX3, which is the most comfortable 7 1.9mm wide fuselage, suitable for large-screen one-handed operation, and the R-angle curve that fits the palm.

MX4 is an MX series connecting the past and the future, and it is the last MX mobile phone with a plastic back case. Compared with the previous generation products, MX4 has a stronger sense of metal. It abandons the stainless steel middle frame material that has been used for many years and uses aviation aluminum-magnesium alloy frame, which makes the weight of the fuselage well controlled. In terms of screen ratio, Meizu used the internal space of MX4 to the extreme. With an ultra-narrow bezel of 2.6mm, it surpassed Meizu MX3 and once again ranked among the narrowest bezel in the world at that time, accounting for 79% of the screen, which was almost the limit of smart phones at that time.

The design languages of MX5/MX6 products are similar, all of them use metal body, and the small circle design is replaced by the physical fingerprint waist ring key with mback function. Although it has been greatly modified, it still has a high degree of recognition, thanks to the sleek feel and simple aesthetic design style of these two generations of machines.

The ultimate embodiment of Meizu aesthetic design of high-end PRO series
Strictly speaking, Meizu's high-end PRO series models have had two generations of products so far. In the MX4 era, Meizu began to locate the high-end market and released the first domestic Android model MX4 pro with prepressed fingerprints. There is not much difference in design between MX4 and MX4. The biggest difference is that the small circle of MX4 is replaced by a rectangular fingerprint recognition Home button. Due to the premature use of 2K screen, MX4 pro has become a relatively failed product. Meizu PRO 5 is the first truly high-end positioning product.

Among the PRO series models, Meizu has brought its design aesthetics to the extreme, and the most typical one is PRO 6/PRO 6s. PRO 6 adopts a brand-new ID style, pursues the beauty of curves and radians, and cooperates with a purer metal body, bold color matching and unique ring flash. Fresh and amazing, it reveals Meizu's unremitting pursuit of the limit and its desire for self-breakthrough. PRO 6 is a small screen flagship with a 5.2-inch screen, and its body thickness of 7.25mm makes it the thinnest Meizu mobile phone. PRO 6s is an upgraded version of PRO 6, with a larger battery and better camera design at the cost of 0.05mm body thickness.

PRO Plus is the flagship product of Meizu. According to the current product positioning, ProPlus series models have become the flagship products of Meizu positioning with large screen performance. On PRO 6 Plus, Meizu redesigned the fuselage curve, 30 processes and 150 hours of meticulous work, which created the unique beauty of details of PRO 6 Plus. On the whole, PRO 6 Plus adds more prominent edges and corners on the basis of the original arc design, maintaining a rounded grip while taking into account the tough visual perception.

Charm is a big family with competing design styles.
Charm blue system is a popular product type of Meizu and the most diversified series of design languages. The types of charm blue currently on sale are charm blue, charm blue Note, charm blue U, charm blue X, charm blue E and charm blue MAX.
Charm blue series is the most elementary product, and its volume is very small. Digital series is mainly made of polyester carbonate, and digital plus S series is made of metal. On the whole, the design is simpler, the polyester carbonate feels lighter and warmer, and the metal material is more textured. Charm blue Note series is bigger than charm blue. Starting from Charm Blue Note 3, polyester carbonate material was replaced by metal.

Charm Blue U and Charm Blue X series are different from Meizu's previous styles, and adopt double-sided glass design, which brings good visual effects to Charm Blue U and Charm Blue X series. The metal middle frame of Charm Blue U series is relatively straight, and the visual effect is tough. Charm Blue X's middle frame is also rounded to get a better grip. Moreover, under the charm blue X curved glass, a bright line is added, which is very dazzling under the light. The addition of double-sided glass design undoubtedly adds a charming aesthetic appearance to Meizu.

Charm MAX and Charm Blue E are similar in design, both are metal bodies with sharp edges and corners, and the cutting brightness of the border corners is high. Obviously, Meizu has gradually added a tough style to its design style, and many novel elements have gradually joined it. Take the newly released Charm Blue E2 as an example. Meizu further polished the flash and creatively added the integrated design of the flash antenna and the function of 4-LED running lights. Different flashing modes represent different information notifications. For a car with a price of only 1000 yuan, this design is obviously full of sincerity.

Write it at the end
It is not difficult to see from the appearance changes of Meizu's history that Meizu's design is changing from the original focus on small and beautiful to richer and more diversified ideas, but it is a big mistake to think that Meizu will lose its characteristics, and good recognition is the best proof. In addition, the expansion of product positioning also doomed Meizu's products at the same time to be different in design. Obviously, Meizu is also aware of this and is constantly exploring in this respect.
