Meizu M3 Note, a small price to better compete with Xiaomi – Frandroid

It is rather the next spearheading Meizu that we talk in recent weeks. But before his Pro 6, if the name is well chosen, the Chinese firm has now a new terminal midrange PHABLET the type of format, M3 rating.

We had seen yesterday, through a stolen picture in China, here it is now official. Latest iteration of the M, located in the middle of range, the Meizu M3 Note plays on the field of Xiaomi redmi 3, except for the format. When his competitor has a 5-inch 720p screen, Meizu has opted for an LCD panel 5.5-inch Full HD 2.5D and promising a brightness of 450 cd / m2.

And under its hood, no Snapdragon 616, but Helio P10 MediaTek seeks to impose on inexpensive terminals. The SoC is decked out with 2 GB of RAM in the cheapest version of the M3 Note (with 16 GB of storage) or 3 GB RAM (32 GB storage). Whatever the model, however, there is a microSD port. As often with dual-SIM smartphones, note that the port can accommodate a second nano-SIM card instead of a memory card.

If we regret that the M3 Note was announced that Android 5.1 Lollipop (FlyMe OS 5.1), we note the efforts of Meizu: the smartphone is well equipped with a fingerprint sensor on the center button (absent redmi option 3), it has a back camera of 13 megapixels with flash two tone, and above all, it is animated by a battery of 4100 mAh. Exactly why the ability Xiaomi has chosen its redmi 3. The smartphone is obviously compatible 4G LTE (VoLTE with, even if we do not yet know if the French 4G frequency bands are all supported) and measures 153.6 × 5.5 × 8.3 mm to 163 grams, and will offer a metal housing.

Meizu nice offer, on paper at least, a smartphone with balanced features and smart design is the side of the price it should find his best argument. The M3 rating is indeed announced to 799 yuan, or about 108 euros (excluding fees and taxes) for the 2GB version, and 999 yuan (135 euros) in its version 3 GB.

It have to wait that Meizu details the availability of its product internationally, because for now, it is reported that in China, from April 11, and May in India. The brand, which posted sales up sharply in 2015, is likely to build on this M3 Note to sell its terminals in number, and we can already expect that it does not just these two markets.
