It is already confirmed that next week we will see a new phablet of Xiaomi, but for now, we are going to leave you today a comparative between the new MX6 and the one that to date is the most interesting model of the Chinese company in the field of the mid-range: the Notes redmi 3 Pro. Either one is a pretty safe bet for those who are willing to resort to importing and are looking for a good one. quality / price ratio, of course, but in order to refine a little more and find the one that best suits our needs, we are going to review the Technical specifications and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Integrated
Among the mid-range phablets, it is already normal to find characteristics of the high-end, such as the metal casing and the fingerprint reader, and neither of these two phablets is an exception: with both we can enjoy premium finishes and a extra protection for our privacy.
Dimensions
Meizu has boasted a lot of the thickness that his new phablet has reached and that exceeds by far that of Xiaomi (7,25 mm against 8,7 mm), but this one still has in its favor being slightly more compact (15,36x7,52 inch against 15x7,6 inch), although it is not a very marked difference, nor is it the one that tips the balance in favor of the first in weight (155 grams against 164 grams).
Screen
One of the points in which the Chinese mid-range has not yet managed to catch up with the conventional high-end is probably the screen and, indeed, we see that both the MX6 such as Notes redmi 3 Pro stay in Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080). If we add this to both having the same size (5.5 inches) and therefore the same pixel density (PPI 401), we find an absolute tie.
Performance
They are also one step behind in the performance section, although the level here is equally high: the MX6 mount a processor Mediatek, but very powerful (a Helio X20 ten-core and 2,3 GHz maximum frequency), while the Notes redmi 3 Pro mounts a Snapdragon 650, more mid-range (eight cores and 1,8 GHz). The victory is clearer for the phablet of Meizu in terms of RAM, offering us 4 GB, while the maximum in that of Xiaomi consist of 3 GB.
Storage capacity
If we compare the standard models, the balance is tilted again here on the phablet side of Meizu, which arrives with 32 GBwhile that of Xiaomi you stay with 16 GB. Still, keep in mind, that we can get the Notes redmi 3 Pro also with more capacity, although logically the price will rise somewhat.
Cameras
If we limit ourselves to comparing the number of megapixels, we see that there is a tie when it comes to the front camera (with 5 MP in both cases), while the Notes redmi 3 Pro comes out winning in the main chamber (12 MP against 16 MP). Note, however, that this is because Meizu has bet, like so many others before, to increase the size of the pixels at the cost of reducing their number.
Autonomy
Although we will have to see what the independent tests of autonomy say, it seems complicated that the MX6 can overcome in this section Notes redmi 3 Pro, which takes advantage of its greater thickness by housing a battery with a significantly higher capacity (3060 mAh against 4000 mAh), which is one of its main claims (along with the processor, probably) compared to the standard Redmi Note 3.
Price
El MX6 comes with a price of the most attractive, launching for only $270, But Notes redmi 3 Pro it still has an important advantage in this regard, since it is not too difficult to find it for around 200 euros. It remains for us to decide, therefore, whether or not we deserve to pay the difference involved in getting the phablet of Meizu.
Comparing cameras only by how many megapixels is an essential error
