Just as planned, Meizu today introduced its new device, the Meizu M1. Having launched the flagship MX4 and MX4 Pro, Asian ventures into this more affordable model, rivaling directly with the Xiaomi Redmi 2. At least, so has hinted the company itself throughout the presentation of the terminal. Meizu has been establishing continuous comparisons with this model Xiaomi. The new terminal, which finally has the name “mini», will continue to have one of its strengths: the price . The device will sell for 100 euros. We tell you all the details in the following analysis.
Display and Design
As is usual in such companies, the price is not incompatible with quality. Thus we find in this new device screen 5 inch HD resolution, ie, 720p, and with a density of 300 dpi. It is interesting to know which features Gorilla Glass 3 protection. As could be seen earlier today in a filtered image, its chassis is made of polycarbonate and is quite similar to the iPhone 5C. Of course, relatively speaking software, price and size . So we met with a wide variety of colors to choose: blue, white, yellow, green and pink.
If we go a little more in detail, we find the usual home button, which Apple suspicion reasons. This button is allowing us to turn the device, access your menu or activate some functions. Still, the touchscreen will not let us throw much. Their actions make thinner and thinner than the Xiaomi Redmi 2 (9.4 mm and 133 grams) setting a thickness of 8.9 mm and 128 grams.
Power and memory
Inside, find a quad-core processor at 1.5 Ghz, compatible with 64-bit technology and able to exceed 30,000 points in AnTuTu. The company announced that it is a MediaTek MT6732 specifically, and arrives accompanied by 1GB of RAM. Given that Xiaomi has recently expanded its Redmi 2 to 2GB of RAM, perhaps many’re missed twice the memory.
In the storage section, the new Meizu has 8 GB, of which we about 5 GB free (after deducting what occupies the system and native applications). And attention, because here we find a novelty. For the first time MicroSD card support is added, admitting for the occasion until 128 GB. This will give many possibilities to the device, especially for those who like to store a lot of music, videos and pictures.
Camera and Multimedia
For lovers of photography, Meizu M1 surprisingly integrates a 13 megapixel rear camera with f / 2.2 and LED flash. We say surprisingly, because all the rumors pointed to an 8 megapixels. To the front the Meizu have chosen a 5 megapixel camera with f / 2.0, which is the same as the main cameras have many other phones.
Given that Meizu also sells MP3 players (it is one of the best manufacturers in China in the sector), the sound is going to look very closely at this Meizu M1. Since the MX4 has a brilliant sound quality. This terminal has inside a Wolfson audio chip, an audio amplifier dedicated and Dirac HD codec, a good set compared to what most companies offer in this section. For its part, the Meizu M1 supports a large variety of multimedia formats including MHL, Java, so there are no problems when playing any file.
Connectivity and autonomy
Connectivity is another feature that has more prominence on the device. In this Meizu M1 find a very complete package, including Wi-Fi n, Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE, TD-LTE but only for the moment, which makes it incompatible with networks outside China. Let’s share the connection with another device via cable, Bluetooth, or creating a WiFi zone. Among the physical connections are classic MicroUSB and headphone jack.
Meizu M1 battery has a pretty impressive capacity. Meizu M1 is 2.610mAh, and is signed by Sony. This will allow us to use the terminal well over a day without problems of having or not hand an outlet. Its battery also far surpasses the competition moving like Xiaomi Redmi 2, which equips one of 2,200 milliamps. Report, which have also added a new model of energy saving native to prolong further the autonomy of the devices using the Custom ROM Meizu to be discussed below .
Operating System and Applications
As expected, there is a terminal Android, but has the Flyme OS, an adaptation of Android 4.4 KitKat. Specifically equips the latest Flyme 4.2. According commented during his presentation, this new distribution of its official ROM uses 25% less battery and is able to open the apps up to 24% faster.
This system is quite different from that integrates Redmi 2, equipped Android 4.4 Kitkat. Still, you may soon see new terminals Xiaomi equip its own mobile operating system. The company would have among its plans to launch its own operating system. As indicated by the name of this new development would be MINE, that would look similar to that now provides the interface used in different mobile devices, but with a different code look.
Availability and reviews
From Meizu have reported that the new device will go on sale in China next February 5 . It will do so at a price of 100 euros to change. Certainly, as we see, there are currently very few phones on the market that offer some similar characteristics at such a low price. As we say, the one that most resembles is the Xiaomi Redmi 2 which has the same price. Now what remains to be seen is whether Meizu has just released a version with more extended RAM, which I believe is the section where maybe they should not have spared much.
If Meizu wants to compete over face with Redmi 2 is not going to be helped. Still, the mobile remains higher in some sections, including the screen, battery, internal storage and camera. If we make comparison, it is clear that the new Meizu M1 remains slightly ahead of your opponents.
Recall, the Redmi 2 equips a 4.7-inch panel HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. We also have a Qualcomm processor quad-core Android 4.4 Kitkat enhances support 4G high-speed networks. As for the photographic section, the Redmi 2 includes an eight-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and video recording capability in 1080p HD, along with a front camera with 2 megapixel resolution for selfies. All this with a good battery of 2,200 milliamps.
