A preliminary review of Meizu M2 Note – Mobiltelefon.Ru

The invitations to the presentation Meizu June 2 ulterior motive was a metal oval, representing the number 0 (6.02). In fact, he became the main feature of the updated budget PHABLET M1 Note, known as M2 Note. Since the announcement of the predecessor came less than six months, and we can say that significant changes have taken place – owners M1 Note (Overview) precisely does not make sense to worry about. Oval metal frame proved mechanical keys under the screen, take the place of the touch circle.

button, this bears all the functions of the buttons Meizu MX4 Pro (review), excluding fingerprint scanner. That is, it can help to make actions “Home” (single press), “Block” (blocking device retention) and “Back” (a light touch without pressure). The circle has a similar capability, but back on the swipe up with him is not so convenient. Actually, the comfortable interaction with the “Back” button and give the designation M2 Note – mBack (in MX4 Pro – mTouch). See our preview with demonstration equipment and operation buttons smartphone mBack:

In the box with the phone embedded needle to open the multi-purpose tray. If M1 Note dvuhsimnik became the first company, the M2 Note was the first smartphone Meizu with support for memory cards microSD. The internal memory can be 16 or 32 GB, but using the stick it can be expanded to 128 GB.

The tray is capable of receiving either two SIM-cards (format nano), or a single SIM and microSD. At M1 Note support 4G was, you might say, in its infancy (range Band 3 discloses only a few Russian regions) and M2 Note to Band 7 can be considered suitable for fourth generation networks in Russia.

Second a visible change in the design concerns the location of the power button. It is removed from the upper end of the left side, a volume rocker (a button connected to the user not confused). It is possible that you will use it very rarely because the lock can be done by holding down a screen and unlocking is very convenient to carry swipe of the display is off. Slightly reduced thickness compared to the M1 Note, form the cover too little has changed – it became more comfortable to hold.

colors in four M2 Note – dark gray, blue, pink and white. At M1 Note, remind, were green, yellow, pink, blue and white. Plastic glossy all colors except dark gray – matte plastic out there, like a gray MX4 and MX4 Pro. Obscene looks cool, interested users who do not like flashy colors. And the gloss will be more practical.

Careful users may have noticed changes in the hardware specifications of paragraphs. In place of the CPU MediaTek MT6752 (8 cores Cortex-A53 with a frequency of 1.7 GHz, graphics Mali-T760MP2) came chip MT6753. Despite the higher the index, the speed of it, in theory, offers less that can be easily understood from the fresh SoC: 8 A53 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and graphics Mali-T720MP3. Perhaps, M2 Note will be faster M1 Note heavy tasks and synthetic tests, but it is unlikely – in any case, to dot the I in practice – what and how much faster the machine. The battery capacity slightly decreased from 3140 mAh to 3100 mAh. But with the new chip time will certainly be different. How – also not yet clear.

The front 5-megapixel camera and the main 13-megapixel module unchanged, but Meizu promises new image processing algorithms and better results. If all the advantages of the company brings to the software, it will likely be removed in a similar manner and M1 Note after the upgrade to Android 5.1 Lollipop. I do not rule out that now the difference is very small – find it in one of the following materials. Examples of the photo with the rear camera M2 Note:

The images are generally good. Happy to shoot it simply, but in difficult conditions have to switch to manual mode to adjust the exposure, or to make separate focus and exposure on the subject in the light area (a new feature), or just poke light object to dim the lights and make more natural (machine tends to highlights of everything in the evening).

The device goes on sale in China in June for the 799 and 999 yuan for a version with 16 and 32 GB of internal memory. Russian prices have not been announced, but I venture to suggest that they will be asked for 12-15 thousand. Rubles. Summing up the preview, I will say that Meizu M2 Note stands a good substitute for M1 Note. I particularly liked the gray version and convenient hardware button below the screen. It is time to recognize that it is time to retire mug. Getting detailed testing M2 Note and look to you for questions in the comments. The answers will give in the comments section, or in the review. Stay tuned for updates!
