On February 29th, Meizu’s special event encountered the special weather in Changqin Island, Zhuhai.

The weather on Changqin Island in Zhuhai is unexpected. The temperature is less than 15 degrees Celsius and there are strong winds. The activities will inevitably be affected, but it still cannot be extinguished. The enthusiasm of the people there.

Maybe this is also a This is a special fate. Some people think that "All in AI" Meizu has encountered a "wind". This long-lasting storm is quite meaningful.

Perhaps because of the confidence in the competitiveness of new products, I originally thought that Meizu would no longer release "traditional smartphones". Unexpectedly, the reversal came too quickly, and the new Meizu 21 PRO Here it comes.

Meizu Said that after experiencing the ecosystem of players, smartphones, and handcarts, they decided to enter the next golden era of the industry, which is AI. Meizu 21 PRO is no longer called a “smartphone”, but the industry’s first “AI smart mobile terminal”.

There are no clichés about senior executives. The people hosting Meizu’s special events are two “senior Meizu friends”, one is Li Nan and the other is Yang Yan. They have all witnessed the glory of Meizu, and their status as Meizu friends has brought their stage closer to the audience.

Meizu 21 PRO is on sale Prices start at 4,999 yuan. What we buy is no longer a traditional smartphone, but an "entry ticket" for the new era of AI. Is this really the case?

Meizu 21 PRO: The "full stop" of mobile phones, the "rebirth" of AI

Face Meizu chose to downplay those boring parameters, because AI is the key to this new concept device.

Officially stated that the "O" of Meizu 21 PRO is the end of the smartphone era and the beginning of a new era. Under the "All in AI" strategic plan, AI capabilities have been demonstrated on Flyme 10.5, and the Aicy assistant supports question and answer, text and diagrams. Mainstream flagships have AI capabilities such as image expansion, elimination, and photo generation, and Meizu has also followed up.

But Meizu believes that these are nothing more than It is the inherent capability of the large AI model. It does not essentially subvert the concept of smartphones. It is as if the voice assistant has just been "replaced" with a smarter GPT. The AI ​​capabilities have not been better utilized, so some new ones are needed. inspiration, such as AI smart keys.

Its function is similar to several The physical buttons of voice assistants on smartphones years ago were originally intended to allow users to efficiently use AI capabilities. However, the voice assistant at the time was of little use in improving the experience and was later cancelled.

Press mBack again to invoke the system AI at any time. Meizu provides a faster entry point for users who rely heavily on large language models. In addition to talking to the AI, the system will also analyze the screen content in real time and provide recommendations for extended operations, such as translation, scanning QR codes, or searching for the same item on the selected screen.

Simply put, AI improves Improve the efficiency of users in obtaining information. Just imagine, in the past, we had to open several more e-commerce apps to compare prices, or see which bloggers had updated their videos. The operation efficiency was obviously not as high as AI integrated collection.

Another major feature is input. The Flyme team has created an AI-assisted input function based on the input method. AI can independently understand the context of the conversation and generate information when the user needs it. Multiple reply options. When your boss asks about your work progress or wants to post a little red book, the friendliness of AI comes out.

Of course, the above new features It’s just a prototype of “Meizu-style AI”.

These new features will begin internal testing shortly after the release of Meizu 21 PRO. Meizu friends still have to wait for OTA.

To build the "Raspberry Pi in the AI ​​era", Meizu only does what it is good at

But Meizu The understanding of AI smart terminals goes beyond this, and efficiency tools and generative functions are only part of it.

Meizu 21 PRO is the first in Meizu’s history This is an open platform mobile phone that provides system permissions and Flyme API documentation for all large models, allowing LLM to request data from users, and opens SOC edge and AI APIs, allowing large model teams who are good at building AI to improve the device experience. Meizu believes in the boundaries of capabilities. As a mobile phone brand and mobile phone company, what it does best is to provide good hardware and serve users.

Therefore, Meizu calls Meizu 21 PRO “the first Raspberry Pi in the AI ​​era on the commercial battlefield.” Everyone knows the openness of the Raspberry Pi. Meizu does what it is good at and leaves AI to a team that is good at building it. This is the most "affordable" route at the moment.

"All in AI" What Meizu really wants is a brand new, completely different AIOS that can do things that only the system can do. AI is not a "smarter voice assistant", but a system-level intelligent center. According to the official statement, it is "autonomous driving in the mobile phone industry."

As smart terminals move towards the AI ​​era, users need to change their current habits of using mobile phones, because in the traditional system architecture, users are both the "Party B" and "Party A" of the mobile phone. "You have to do what you want to do yourself. Meizu said that in the future AIOS, users only need to express their intentions, and AI can complete all the steps that need to be performed by itself.

The most powerful ones, Xiao Lei thinks are the “AI task robot” and “AI portable secretary”.

Yang Yan gave us a very simple example - when you say to your mobile phone that you want to order a takeaway burger, AI will analyze the user's past Ordering habits, understand user intentions, and automatically help users select products, make notes, and pay. In the entire process, users are only required to make demands.

This is the task robot observing The results reflected by user operations and learning can even be extended to more application scenarios.

#The AI ​​portable secretary is derived from a large language model, which is of great significance to people with social fears. Based on the large language model, the AI ​​phone assistant can talk to the other party in natural language and quickly obtain the information the other party wants to provide. It’s hard to imagine that in the future, both ends of the phone will be powered by AI.

More, Meizu also It created an AI mini program, provided zero-threshold creation conditions, and launched a corresponding mini program store to overthrow the existing App era. Indeed, today’s apps are too bloated, and we really need a new solution.

The ultimate goal of AI smart terminals , which is to give users a "lying-flat experience" and looks more and more like a "silly girl phone".

Excluding AI, what is the quality of Meizu 21 Pro?

Putting aside AI, Meizu 21 PRO is still a perfect machine.

The new phone combines the elements of Meizu 20 INFINITY on the basis of Meizu 21, with a 21:9 golden screen ratio, 2K resolution OLED display, and stronger glass , supports IP68 dustproof and waterproof... Although it does not have the radical design and process display on INFINITY, the ID of Meizu 21 PRO is still a breath of fresh air in the mobile phone circle.

The good news is that the feel of Meizu 21 PRO has become better.

As the flagship, Meizu 21 PRO It also uses the most advanced hardware at the moment, including Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the largest mEngine Ultra, and larger wide-area ultrasonic fingerprints.

Simplicity is worth a thousand words. Meizu is still a mobile phone brand that does not follow the crowd and has its own characteristics. The special screen ratio solves the problem of inconvenient one-handed operation of large screens. The width is controlled at 74mm, taking into account the holding experience of small and medium-sized screens and the look and feel of large screens.

The image configuration is not bad either, Meizu 21 PRO is equipped with an OV50H outsole sensor, which has three main, long and wide camera focal lengths. It also worked with ArcSoft to create an impact algorithm to protect its imaging capabilities.

How to use it specifically, you may wish to pay attention to the follow-up content of our Lei Technology official account.

The Meizu who is good at playing with the "feel" is back

After the press conference, Xiao Lei also I got to experience Meizu 21 PRO on site.

To be honest, as a model currently positioned as a flagship, the weight is basically high due to heavy configuration stacking. Meizu 21 PRO retains the relatively light weight of Meizu 21 and controls the width to 74mm, ensuring a one-handed holding experience. It is a model that puts no burden on fingers.

In addition, Meizu 21 The PRO's frame adopts a chamfering process similar to that of the iPhone 15 Pro series, forming a good transition between the screen and the middle frame, making it a model that you won't get tired of holding for a long time.

The new phone provides 4 colors, and a plain leather back cover is optional. It is fresh, simple and high-end. The classic Meizu white with white front frame is still a Meizu friend. The irreplaceable "appearance ceiling" in my heart.

Wide area ultrasonic fingerprint The experience is also well-deserved. It only takes 1-2 seconds to create a fingerprint, and the unlocking speed is fast. There is no need to deliberately align the fingerprint position, and the difficulty of blind operation is extremely low.

Unfortunately, Most of the new machines at the experience site were not equipped with the latest AI capabilities and features, so the on-site staff could only imagine the future described by Meizu.

"AI First", can AI hardware replicate the success of the iPhone?

#The emergence of iPhone has subverted human-computer interaction and is the cornerstone of smartphones. Meizu’s “All in AI” may also hope to become the cornerstone of the AI ​​era.

From Yang Yan’s words, Xiao Lei saw the possibility of AI mobile smart terminals in the future, and a more efficient era was coming. As users, we can enjoy the exhilaration of "being the party A". The stronger the AI's capabilities, the less detours we make and a lot of unnecessary wasted time.

Innovation in smartphones has entered During the bottleneck period, continuous technology upgrades and hardware integration did not cause qualitative changes in the industry. We did see better mobile phones, but mobile phones are still mobile phones. Meizu breaks out of the circle of traditional smartphones and uses AI to create its own ideas, which requires vision and courage.

In the future, we may have to change the way we evaluate smartphones, from the original dimensions of hardware experience, performance, battery life, etc., to the evaluation of AI capabilities. These are all It is the impact brought by AI mobile smart terminals.

If possible, Xiaolei hopes that the mobile terminal era represented by AI will come faster.
