Meizu M1 Note review

Meizu M1 note - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside.

April 03, 2015: After months of desperate wait, finally I have got Meizu M1 note in my hands. Thanks to my friend Dinesh Panthy and Chinese officials who helped him buy this phone for me. As the phone has got a big demand and it is not even sold internationally, the phone gets sold out in a matter of some seconds there. So, it was almost impossible to buy it officially in the original price, and it took vigorous search to buy it at 1200 RMB i.e. around 200 dollar (just for the 16 GB phone). Just a week of usage, here is what I have found regarding the smartphone.

http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2015/02/meizu-on-rise-m1-note-and-m1-gets-sold.html" style="background-color: lime;">Meizu M1 note, the affordable beast with awesome specs and quality, says it all for the review in one sentence, but it does have some lacks that i will be writing in the later half. The 5.5 inch phablet runs smoothly with no any lags even in several multitasking tests, due to 64 bit Octa-core processor (MT6752) and 2 GB RAM. The IGZO display is well lit and the 403 PPI resolution is near to other high end phones. One of the best part of the phone is the whopping battery of 3140 mAH that keeps you surf, use multimedia for long. Another big up is with the cameras: 13 MP rear one having dual tone LED flash, Panorama, Light field (like the refocus in Xiaomi), Slow motion video and Manual mode (up to 1 sec of slowest shutter time) whereas the front shooter of 5 MP has beautify feature. I also happen to like the HDR feature in the camera app, making it a phone with good photography options. Along with the similar looks to iPhone 5C, the phone is on par with the iPhone experience. The flat and simple design of the android skin: Flyme OS (latest one 4.0 being over Android Kitkat 4.4.4) resembles iOS like the way it is in Xiaomi (no app drawer), which are so far liked mostly by the users. Though Flyme has some unique features (like gesture controls, camera apps, smart touch) compared to Xiaomi's MIUI, it misses some basic features (like saving a contact from call/message logs, easily viewable call logs and messages ) that I am sure will definitely be there in the next version of Flyme over Android Lollipop, even enhancing some in others. The double tap to wake the phone, scribble some pattern to open some apps directly before unlocking the phone (also available in Nokia Z launcher, but not available to many Android phones) are some features to make it attractive. The poly-carbonate unibody plastic, small bezels and Gorilla glass 3, makes it look and feel comfy. The thin width and lightweight (145 gm) phone also supports double SIM with FDD LTE/WCDMA/GSM on SIM1 and only GSM on SIM2 slot, makes it easy to use one just for phone calls and another for fast internet. The inbuilt browser app in Flyme is also nice and smooth, as compared to other default browsers on other skins. I am enthralled with the viewing experience of the videos but not with the audio quality of the speakers (sounds nice in earphone though).

As the size of the screen is going up, converging the devices: phablets, smartphones and even tablets into one, 5.5 inch phones are definitely worth for better reading and viewing experience whereas to make our pants feel comfy, their pocket size even needs to grow.
Here is a quick review of the phone:
Thumbs up:
Fast and smooth multitasking experience,
Nice camera app (Manual, refocus, beautify feature).
Comfortable feel while grabbing.
Gesture controls.
Battery capacity (3140 mAh)
Dual SIM (4G + 2G)
Cheap price of 1000 Yuan ($160)

Let down:
Missing basic features in Flyme OS.
Awkward experience with single Home button (its may be due to myself being a typical android user).
No external micro SD slot.
Speakers.

All in all, the phone a.k.a blue charm is a nice, affordable mid range phone with some unique features and specs which definitely allures those who want to upgrade from the entry level phones. The phone is even highly preferred for the entry level users, due to the higher specs in such a cheap price. As some missing features on software will definitely be there in the next Flyme over Android Lollipop, which is learned to be available soon with major enhancements, the phone is definitely worthy buying. The phone is known to be available for official sales in New York but don't know when it will be available here in Nepal, or you can simply ask your friends going to either North neighbor (China) or South Neighbor (India) to bring one for you. Recommended!

Meizu on the rise!! M1 note and M1 gets sold out in seconds.

Meizu M1 note - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside.

Its not Xiaomi now when somebody talks of a phone maker that you have never heard of. 2014 was the year for Xiaomi which just toppled Samsung as the top handset maker in China and it will continue to grow this year too, but another handset maker will join them for similar exponential rise in the no of sales in 2015. I am talking of Meizu, the Chinese handset maker (already in the top ten list) which is creating a big buzz in the tech world with its MX series flagship and the recent phablet M1 Note. Such cheap and powerful devices are getting more popular with flagship features and build quality. The buzz garnered $590 Million investment from e-commerce Giant Alibaba that enables them to get more recognition both locally and internationally. Meizu has gone international way before Xiaomi gets in the light but Xiaomi grew fast to be the tech giant in China, leading to more recognition. As Android is the dominant operating system in this region, Chinese manufacturers are opting to use Android Skin or customized interface like MIUI from Xiaomi, Flyme from Meizu, Emotion from Huawei and many alike. Apart from Android skin Flyme, Meizu is known to use Alibaba's YunOS to power its smartphones. It is also speculated that Meizu will launch a phone with Ubuntu OS in MWC 2015, most probably a all new M1 note.

Meizu M1 Note and M1 phone:

M1 note, the latest offering from Meizu, is a 64 bit MediaTek MT652 Octacore processor powered phablet with 5.5 inch 1080P IGZO display, 13 MP/5MP shooter, and 3140 mAh battery. The dual SIM 2G/LTE device looks similar to iPhone C, with ditto set of colors (green, pink, white, yellow and blue).The phone has 2 GB RAM, dual tone flash feature in camera and FDD LTE (the variant that is supposed to land here in Nepal after licensing from the regulator). As already mentioned, the device supports the latest version of its own Android skin, Flyme 4.2 (based on Kitkat). Marked as an direct competitor to Xiaomi Redmi 2 in affordable and entry level smartphone range, the phone price is 1000 RMB ($160) in china which is a little higher than Redmi2, but with all better hardware and performance. The light phone (145 gm) is made up of plastic and has 16 GB/32 GB memory space with no SD card slot. 

Meizu has even released another version with 5 inch display and Snapdragon 615 processor. Dubbed as M1, the phone has 1 GB RAM/ 8GB Memory space, SD card slot, Single SIM with LTE support and 2500 mAh battery. Most of the other impressive features and looks are similar to M1 Note where M1 phone does not have this dual tone LED flash. The phone is priced at CNY 700 ($112) in China but it will cost more in the stores other than the official one where phone gets sold out in a matter of seconds.

Ever since I heard of M1 note, I thought of owning it, especially the blue colored one. As I have already asked my friend who is going to China for a month, to bring the phablet for me, it will take a month to have it in my hand. If I find the performance of the phablet to be impressive that is on paper now, then I will definitely entice more of my friends and blog readers to be "proud owner of Meizu". A month to wait!!
