Today we will tell you about the Meizu M1 Note smartphone, the reviews of the owners of which confirm that the device is worthy of attention. The manufacturer of our hero was a very ambitious company from China.
Performance
At the presentation, the manufacturer noted that he was creating a new brand called Blue, specifically for a separate line of devices. In other words, in native China, our hero is called differently. There it is customary to call it Blue M1 Note. As for the English-language resources of the manufacturer, where the name has remained familiar, we can conclude that the new brand is designed exclusively for the domestic market.
Another milestone in development
The key advantage of Meizu M1 Note is the price, because, according to the manufacturer, this device allows him to enter a new segment of the market of extremely inexpensive smartphones. If the whole series is the same as the device we are describing, we can say that these are not just advertising slogans, but reality, because in their homeland a smartphone costs only 1000 yuan and at the same time it has a very good design and characteristics. Of course, there are shortcomings, but the overall impression is not spoiled. If alook at the opinion of the Meizu M1 Note owners, the reviews indicate that the device lacks originality. And now we will try to explain what it is.
Design
You should start a detailed review of Meizu M1 Note with a description of the appearance of the device. At first glance, the phone can be called an enlarged copy of the iPhone 5c from Apple. It is curious that in the description of the M1 Note, which was made at the introduction of the device, the iPhone 5c was directly mentioned. Smartphones are similar to the smallest detail: the choice of colors, speaker, SIM-card tray, unibody body, glossy plastic. The only significant external difference is the camera, which in the Chinese version is in the center, while in the American prototype this element can be found in the corner of the case.
Other analogies
However, these are not all the external features of the Meizu M1 Note, reviews of observant users convince us that the device is no less similar to the previous models of the Chinese manufacturer. Indeed, if we put an MX3 or MX4 next to our hero, you can see a similar body shape, a special touch circle under the screen, which is the company's signature touch, the implementation of the rear panel and camera, which was already mentioned above.
Meizu M1 Note smartphone is very comfortable to hold in your hand. The body shape is well chosen. The transitions between planes are smooth. The overall impression of the appearance of the device is pleasant. You can call it effective. As for the shortcomings of Meizu M1 Note, user reviews pay attention tothe device's propensity for rapid contamination, but its prototype "5c" suffers from the same problem.
Technical details
As for the peculiarities of using a smartphone, these include the ability to hold to activate and deactivate it. Quick access to the camera and home screen is also available.
Review Meizu M1 Note will continue the description of the display. The smartphone received a 5.5-inch screen (1920 x 1080 pixels). The aspect ratio is standard, which can be called unusual for this manufacturer. The screen is of good quality. You may get the impression that the image is drawn on top of the glass, the viewing angles are limited, the brightness is excellent, the color reproduction is close to natural. Perhaps some users will notice a slight bias towards cool tones, but this is a familiar feature of Meizu screens.
The device received an eight-core 64-bit platform Mediatek MT6752 (1.7 GHz). Graphics accelerator - Mali T720MP2. The speed of the interface is not satisfactory, everything is very fast and smooth, no hint of delay. There is 2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of flash memory is built into the phone for data storage, there is no storage slot.
The main camera is 13 megapixels by Samsung, f/2.2, complemented by a flash of a pair of LEDs in different tones. Front - 5 MP. It features a 69-degree angle, overlay effects, and real-time facial enhancement. The result of processing can be seen before the snapshot is taken.
The software of the device has been supplemented with the Flyme shell. The add-on can be called beautiful, neat, simple and moderately customizable. It should also be said about wireless interfaces. It supports 4G, Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-FI. The smartphone has a single tray for a pair of SIM cards, the first slot is for the GSM standard, the second is also designed for WCDMA, LTE and data transfer.
Battery capacity - 3140 mAh, according to the developers, this is enough to ensure autonomous operation of the smartphone for two days in conditions of active use.
It's safe to say that the Chinese company managed to release a budget and very attractive device. The device is distinguished by a high-quality display, a beautiful and simple shell, and high speed. All these indicators are on par with more expensive devices. Another characteristic worthy of attention in Meizu M1 Note is the price. You can buy a device ranging from 11,000 to 14,000 rubles, depending on the place of purchase.
Special Edition
It should be said that the manufacturer also presented a special version of the Meizu M1 Note Mini device, which runs on the KitKat OS (Android 4.4). The smartphone received a 5-inch touch screen (1280 × 768 pixels) with a pixel density of 300 ppi.
