Summary
Meizu added support for 4G. No advanced speed 6th category, of course, but the category 4 also provides good performance – up to 150 MB per second. At the same time added to the memory card that saves most budget phones. Thus his memory is more than enough in the smartphone. Video 4K he does not remove, and Full-HD-videos it long enough.
Let’s see what the smartphone inside.
Packing and size
Box M2 note from Meizu is identical M1 note. It’s big and not too generously filled. Charger 2A, cable MicroUSB, telephone, leaflets in some markets of the world complemented headphones liners. That’s all.
As for the size, the body remained with the parameters identical to the dimensions of its predecessor: 150,9 × 75,2 × 8,7 mm. Only a small difference in weight of the phone. M2 became heavier and 4 grams on the scale indicates a mark in 149 g.
Design and Build Quality
M2 Note differs from its predecessor in a matte finish instead of a glossy plastic. He began to collect less fingerprints. But the appearance remains the same. Easily recognizable rounded edges in the style of “a la the iPhone.” Meizu is clearly continues to pay attention to the latest developments on the Apple .
The entire front part is covered with Gorilla Glass 3. The back cover is easy removable. As it should be in a good phone, which does not allow removing the battery.
Also, to include the new physical appearance of the navigation buttons in a silver frame. Next to it are the familiar touch. Improved grip with the fingers. Touch buttons are more willing to respond.
Management
Over the 5.5-inch screen we find a speaker, a pair of sensors and self-camera at 5 megapixels. The following screen navigation buttons are located, including the physical center. Whether the phone is more expensive, it would probably have put a fingerprint sensor.
The left side of the phone Meizu has a volume control and the Power / Lock. It was easier when they were placed on the right. But now everything has changed.
On the right is the tray for a couple of SIM cards or SIM cards and Micro-SD-Cards. Combo drive allows you to choose.
The headphone jack 3.5 mm and a secondary microphone is located on the top of the smartphone, while the lower part has a MicroUSB port with the primary microphone and loudspeaker under the grate.
Behind the main camera phone is surrounded by two-color LED flash. Far below is the label of the camera.
Final words
Meizu M2 Note has been updated compared to its predecessor. But not so much for the domestic Chinese market, and to leap to the West. Meizu really wants to break into the market, which is already firmly settled Motorola . And with this budget smartphone she can get it. Everyone loves to support MicroSD, LTE and two SIM cards. And in combination with a large display is simply a combo offer.
The handset will be offered at a price not more than $ 200 in various markets. At the same time he has a decent camera, good internal memory, RAM and advanced software from Google. All this is complemented by a good build quality and Full-HD-resolution screen. The screen itself, though not as bright and multi-colored as oleophobic, but a lot of budget options should not wait. Especially that the smartphone offers work for three days. More precisely, 68 hours at work with two SIM cards and 69 hours of working with one.
Flyme OS support system of gestures and offers good navigation on the desktop. Eight-processor is quite fast-pity that his procedure inhibits graphics chip. It is even worse than its predecessor. But if you want to save from $ 10 to $ 50, you can take it predecessor – the original M1. Worst permission to 720p, 3G-network and the lack of Micro-SD-Card will be added automatically.
