I have a friend
“Some people’s youth is the World Cup, but my youth is Meizu.”
Gong Xin, the CEO of Caocao Travel, swipes the screen in the technology circle as a “charm friend”. This is the documentary “I Have a Friend” jointly launched by Meizu United and Sanlian Life Weekly.
Documentary “I Have a Friend” Episode 1 Poster
At the end of 2002, a post appeared on the imp3 flash memory forum that a company named Meizu was about to release MP3 products. “Developing a press conference on the forum” has become a nickname for Meizu among netizens. Many people joked that Meizu is a mobile phone brand that came out of the forum. It was also this opportunity that Meizu launched the first MP3 through the online forum.
Gong Xin was one of the first to eat crabs, and his first MP3 was the classic Meizu M6.
Around 2005, Gong Xin, who had just entered university, began to learn about MP3 on BBS, and spent the living expenses he earned to buy M6. As soon as he got it, he was immediately attracted by this magical electronic product. The appearance of the M6 is like a small box, with slightly touch-sensitive buttons, a large LCD screen and a long-lasting lithium battery. Gong Xin stared at the device in his hand and admired: such a small thing can actually listen like a desktop computer. Music to see lyrics.
A few friends couldn’t help playing with it after seeing it, and one thing that followed Gong Xin’s college career was: five or six good friends walked side by side on the way to school, and everyone was holding a Meizu M6 in their hands. . It is cool and fashionable for boys in science and engineering to have the same Meizu M6 in that youthful university campus.
The M6 not only accompanied Gong Xin during his college youth, but also made Gong Xin an active user on the Meizu forum. Gong Xin recalled that in order to listen to music, he would download a lot of lyrics, and then go to the Meizu user forum to discuss with everyone how to match the lyrics and music. However, Gong Xin was pleasantly surprised to find that on the Meizu forum, when users put forward good suggestions, Meizu’s R&D representatives listened and gave feedback.
The discussion atmosphere of the Meizu forum gave Gong Xin the idea that he could change his life through Internet technology, and it has always affected Gong Xin’s code of conduct. In the documentary “I Have a Friend”, as the CEO of Caocao Travel, Gong Xin regards “experience” as one of the cores. Gong Xin requires the management to make 100 bicycle calls per month and answer calls from 10 users. Through personal experience of taking a taxi, listening to users’ voices, and experiencing the work of drivers and vehicle management, we can formulate regulations that meet the needs of users.
Gong Xin said: Some people’s youth is the World Cup, but my youth is Meizu, which is the infinite love for the Internet and technology. It’s those tiny little acts of love that make us who we are today. Gong Xin hopes that one day, Meizu and its Flyme system can be expanded from mobile phones to smart travel, so that people can truly experience the convenient experience brought by technology.
Whether it is Meizu, which has accompanied many people in their youth, or Cao Cao Travel, which is now providing services to more people, in essence, people like Gong Xin who hope to use the Internet to change their lives are polishing the experience to the extreme.
At the just-concluded Meiyou Conference 2022, everyone found that Meiyou has always been there, and Meizu also brought surprises to Meiyou who have been waiting for 19 years.
Music is the DNA of Meizu
On December 23, 2022, Meizu Technology held the “Meizu Conference 2022” in Zhuhai. As an annual event centered on Meiyou, it once again explained what is meant by “no Meizu, no Meizu”.
Looking back at the history of Meizu, music is an important part of Meizu’s DNA, and Meizu has an instinctive pursuit of sound quality. One of the important reasons why Meizu MP3 was sought after by consumers in the early years was because it had been using the top decoding chip solution on the market at that time.
E3 is the first MP3 in China to use Philips’ top decoding chip PNX0102. When the M6 mini player was released, it used Philips’ 380HN. It is worth mentioning that back then, MP3 enthusiasts would use “flying cores” to identify whether MP3s had good sound quality.
After the transformation and development of mobile phones, Meizu has also made a lot of efforts and attempts in sound quality.
In 2014, Meizu translated the professional decoding chip ESS ES9018K2M, professional op amp chip TI OPA1612, and a series of Hi-Fi player components to mobile phones, and supported fully symmetrical passive filter output for the first time on mobile phones.
Meizu not only has a high pursuit of sound quality, but also has a long-term technical accumulation, and has been sparing no effort to explore and find the best solution.
In addition, Meizu announced a surprise gift at the Meiyou Conference – Meizu M3 Pro full-scene Hi-Fi player.
The appearance alone is not only amazing, the Meizu who pursues high-quality goods is back.
Music Card is the memory of a generation of Meizu friends. From the integrated design concept of “point, line and surface” of the Meizu M3 Pro full-scene Hi-Fi player, it can be seen that the two are in the same line, and the material is made of flagship mobile phone level. Glass and metal materials, a complete glass cover on the front is matched with an integrated metal body, the whole body has no breakpoints and exposed screws, and the shape is more extreme, which perfectly reproduces the classic design of Music Card.
It is worth mentioning that the well-received mBack on Meizu mobile phones has also been brought to the Meizu M3 Pro full-scene Hi-Fi player. All these experience optimizations make M3 Pro have an interactive logic that is more in line with contemporary habits, and users will feel more comfortable when using it.
Besides the design, the most amazing thing about the Meizu M3 Pro full-scene Hi-Fi player is its sound quality.
In order to further improve the user’s listening experience, the user can enjoy a music experience closer to the recording studio. Coupled with the consideration of the thin and light body, Meizu did not choose to directly purchase the decoding chip on the market this time. Meizu’s senior acoustic development team and the industry’s senior decoding chip engineers have custom-developed a high-performance True 1-Bit decoding solution for the M3 Pro – Meizu H1 Hi-Fi decoding chip.
Users who have a certain understanding of Hi-Fi audio should have heard of 1-Bit decoding. 1-Bit was first used in the SACD jointly developed by Sony and Philips. It is the music medium of the so-called Super Audio CD that replaces the traditional CD. It has always been a representative of high-end audio decoding solutions, and currently it is mainly used in desktop decoding equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars. Among the well-known brands, the Sony DMP-Z1, commonly known as “Suoliuwan”, also uses the 1-Bit decoding scheme.
From a technical point of view, the 1-Bit decoding scheme inherently solves the problems of low-frequency nonlinear distortion and zero-crossing distortion in traditional PCM decoding schemes. These problems make the high and low frequencies of PCM decoding scheme sound more “digital”. The 1-Bit decoding scheme has better waveform linearity, more concise information flow, and greatly reduces distortion. Make the sense of hearing more natural and more “analogue”. At the same time, the standard 1-Bit encoding also has a higher amount of information than the traditional lossless format, and can restore the music details closer to the recording studio.
In addition, in order to enable all users to experience the charm of 1-Bit decoding, Meizu also customized an independent over-sampling audio chip for the M3 Pro player, which can up-convert music signals and supplement details through algorithms. Music can be up-converted to a sampling rate of 11.2Mhz, with 256 times the amount of information in the standard CD format. Whether it is the local player’s own collection of music, or the use of streaming media to listen to music, users can experience a more pure music experience brought by 1-Bit decoding.
On the Meizu M3 Pro all-scenario Hi-Fi player, the entire PCB circuit details including the Meizu H1 Hi-Fi decoding chip analog circuit are all deeply customized solutions developed by the Meizu Acoustics Team. The unique True 1-Bit audio architecture better releases the technical potential of True 1-Bit and maximizes the performance at one time.
The excellent playback performance of the Meizu M3 Pro full-scene Hi-Fi player can not only support local 128G storage playback, but also connect to mobile phones, computers and even cars for full-scene Hi-Fi output.
In addition, in order to solve the difference in the experience of different terminals, Meizu engineers have launched a full-scenario computing audio solution: the research and development of FlymeSound, which not only integrates the tuning and acoustic design capabilities of Meizu Acoustics for many years, but also flexibly utilizes multiple The computing power of the terminal is used to calculate the sound and make breakthroughs in tuning, sound field and compensation.
According to Meizu official news, the device is currently in deep tuning work, and it is expected to meet the public with the Meizu 20 series flagship phones in the spring of 2023.
Why do you want to announce a Hi-Fi player at the Meiyou Conference? After carefully savoring it, I found that Meizu “hidden” a lot of small thoughts in it. In fact, the Meiyou Conference also announced its own mobile phones and other products, but the official focus was on this player.
Through this product, on the one hand, we can indeed see that Meizu is still the “enthusiast” who pursues the ultimate, and the re-use of some old elements is constantly awakening the memory of old Meizu. Meizu is still that Meizu, and the culture of Meizu originated from Meizu’s first MP3.
Going back to Gong Xin’s story, there is a detail mentioned in the video. Every time Gong Xin picks up a Meizu mobile phone, no matter what year the product is from, he can feel the Internet genes emanating from it. Such a gene does not blindly meet the needs of all users, but it can always meet the needs of those users who have the spirit of exploration in technology and unremitting love for life.
Whether it is Meizu or Meiyou, they all come to the same goal by different routes. From the MP3 era, to the first generation of classic smartphone Meizu M8, to the Meizu 20 series that will be unveiled next spring, you will find that Meizu has gone through these 19 years, accompanied by that Meizu. 【Leifeng Net】
