However, in fall 2014, we saw 2 flagships from this fast-growing company, the Meizu MX4 and MX4 PRO and again in December, the company announced a new device that guide a new generation of Meizu owners. Conventionally, Meizu\u2019s products are in mid-range price class but their spec can be considered high-end ones. Now, the M1 Note is going to cost you only a half of that price without scarifying much. A full review of this amazing phone will be revealed. This phone is available for around $220, or just half of the Maize MX4.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- New Top AD MY Mobile 1 -->\n        <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n             style=\"display:inline-block;width:320px;height:100px\"\n             data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n             data-ad-slot=\"2390501667\"><\/ins>\n        <script>\n        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n        <\/script><\/div><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3197\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Meizu M1 Note Specs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>With $200, you have a wide range of choices to buy a smartphone.

This type of display is rarely used in smartphones as manufacturers tends to apply IPS LCD or AMOLED display for their products. IGZO displays use Indium gallium zinc oxide as a semiconductor instead of silicon. These materials is useful in case the manufacturers want to increase the resolution of the display because they can show more information in the same space thanks to their higher electron mobility. These also allow the device save more power since lights are easier to travel through them. IGZO displays can also have much higher response time than LCD displays can.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3202\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"700\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31.jpg 1476w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31-640x465.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31-51x38.jpg 51w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/31-1024x744.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meizu\u2019s use of<a title=\"Meizu M1 Note with LTE and 64BIT CPU for RM560\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-m1-note-lte-64bit\/\"> IGZO display<\/a> is surprising because the company isn\u2019t in the race of resolution of the smartphone industry, and the refresh rate of the display is just as poor as the displays used in the MX4 and MX4 Pro. That obviously means you will see ghosting when moving things around the screen, such as playing games, watching movies, scrolling through the IU, etc. It is not a big deal but it\u2019s disturbing, especially, to anyone who is sensitive to such implicit issues like this. However, on the bright side, the display is pretty bright and visible outdoor. Colors are pithy, contrast is fantastic and the black levels are as good as those found on the MX4 and MX4 Pro, which are among the best in non-LCD display. The viewing angles are exceptional and they are exactly what we could expect from this neat little device. Touch sensitivity is outstanding and can rank among the most responsive mobile displays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meizu M1 Note Hardware and Build<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reducing the price to around $220, Meizu had used much cheaper materials in the M1 Note than in the MX4 or MX4 Pro, but that doesn\u2019t mean it feels like a cheap one. Many phones at this price range choose to have shiny plastic back which may have resulted in a loathe-feeling, and Meizu M1 Note is not out of this trend. <a title=\"Meizu M1 Note Review: the best Android phone under $200\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-m1-note-review-the-best-android-phone-under-200\/\">That\u2019s exactly<\/a> what we\u2019ve got here as the M1 Note got an ultra-shiny, non-removable back that look exactly like Iphone 5C. Everything it has makes it look like an Iphone, from the colors available to the shape pf overall, from the circular capacitive Home button to even the bottom speaker grille. If you take a closer look or touch it, you will mistake it for an Iphone 10 out of 10 times.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3206\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"700\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72.jpg 1899w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72-640x329.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72-1024x527.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everything in this phone solid, solid clicks of the volume and home buttons, and overall solid feel of the device.

It did not stay active while the phone was idle, getting us to wait a couple of seconds after turning the screen on until data was active again.\u00a0This didn\u2019t usually happen but probably no matter what WiFi device the phone connect to, and the problem would likely be fixed in a software update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meizu M1 Note Software<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Meizu M1 Note we used for this review was packing <a title=\"Meizu Users get Android 5.0 Update this week with Flyme 5.0\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-android-5-0-update\/\">Flyme OS V4.2 <\/a>(pronounced fly-me), which is a little newer version than what was on the Meizu MX4 Pro.\u00a0In general, as mentioned in the performance, there was not much to criticize here except for the repeated oddness that Chinese manufacturers made to Android.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We just took a quick glance at some of the things that told Meizu apart from other manufacturers.\u00a0Firstly, the most obvious thing is the home button.\u00a0Meizu uses only a single home button and nothing else on the front of the device, making this completely unique compared to other Android phones out there.\u00a0Pressing home is exactly what it should be, while swiping up on the home button acts like pressing the back button.\u00a0Swiping up from the bezel on either side of the home button opens up multi-tasking, and holding down home while the screen is on shuts the screen off and locks the device.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/14.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3218\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/14.jpg\" alt=\"14\" width=\"700\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/14.jpg 1529w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/14-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/14-640x532.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/14-1024x852.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The notification panel is a bit different from other Android phones in that some of the quick toggles, like WiFi and Bluetooth, actually have an expandable menu to quickly connect to a network or other devices. One disturbing thing is that there\u2019s no quick way to get to phone settings but you can change around the default buttons and choose from 15 in total to display.\u00a0Another noticeable oddity is the way to control the volume on the phone.\u00a0The volume rockers adjust media volume at all times no matter what you\u2019re doing, so adjusting the volume is done only by going into settings.\u00a0This is irritating to say the least and needs to change in the following versions of Flyme OS for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Users will also find that when using a 3rd party keyboard on some apps, like Hangouts, for instance, to fix a word or move the cursor simply doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0You need to put the keyboard away to move the cursor, and it has something to do with the built-in system keyboard on the phone.One way to completely fix the issue is\u00a0gaining root access and removing the system keyboard, or you can just use the <a title=\"Meizu Users get Android 5.0 Update this week with Flyme 5.0\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-android-5-0-update\/\">built-in keyboard<\/a> if that works well enough for you.\u00a0This is a bug that is known and will hopefully be fixed in a future update as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The single speaker of Meizu M1 Note is featured to be at the bottom of the device, <a title=\"Meizu brings Ubuntu Touch to the MX4 for MWC\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-mx4-ubuntu-launch-on-mwc\/\">ensuring<\/a> that your hand cupped around the bottom echoes the sound better than a speaker on the back. That doesn\u2019t mean this brings better quality sound than most single back speakers you could find on plenty of Android device out there, just better placed. The speaker itself is loud enough to hear. Even when you are in a truck on the highway, a phone call with loudspeaker will also be audible.\u00a0Listening to other audio such as YouTube videos was simply fine on this speaker, as the clarity and volume are appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>The DAC on the Meizu M1 Note seems to be better than many other phones in the $200 class, but it doesn\u2019t mean to be able to compete with many more expensive phones. Something has to be sacrificed to fit this price level. The audio output is acceptable whereas I found it to be adequate on a less quality sound system. There\u2019s a built-in <a title=\"Meizu MX5: First official pictures of the purported 41MP Camera Phone!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-mx5-first-official-pictures\/\">equalizer<\/a> but because this is not a very high powered amp inside the phone, adjusting any of the levels in the EQ lowers the volume.\u00a0There\u2019s also a DAC setting in the music app for certain headphone brands and models, but none of them are sufficient to improve the sound of a truck. This phone certainly wouldn\u2019t be the first choice for those who like listening to music on, but it\u2019s passable with cheaper ear buds or other lower quality sound systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meizu M1 Note Camera<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you think of a $200 phone, you normally think about lower-quality camera, but the Meizu M1 Note is here to change that prejudice completely.13Mp sensors are now common in the wide range of Android phones out there, but there\u2019s a level of quality that comes with a better sensor that you can find here.\u00a0There\u2019s very little noise even in lower lighting, and the overall color reproduction is absolutely stellar. \u00a0Meizu\u2019s filter isn\u2019t too harsh although we find that in some lighting conditions it tends to cause some haloing on certain parts of the image, especially when zooming in.\u00a0Overall I\u2019d put this right up there with the camera on the Galaxy S4 or Note 3, except for much faster shutter speeds, resulting in significantly high-quality low-light images with less blur.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/17.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3220\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/17.jpg\" alt=\"17\" width=\"700\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/17.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/17-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/17-640x373.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On the downside, HDR is again nearly useless as it is on all Meizu phones. We don\u2019t know what problem Meizu gets with HDR is but the shutter speed is way too slow in many conditions but the brightest lighting conditions (i.e. direct sunlight).\u00a0It\u2019s painfully obvious that exposure bracketing is used here, and the camera is very slow to change exposure, leading to longer shutter times and plenty of double imaging in most HDR photos. \u00a0On the other hand, there are some really interesting options here including a mode to take shots with all items in focus and refocus after the shots is taken. \u00a0There\u2019s also slow motion video and up to 1080p 30FPS too, all of which were in great quality. \u00a0Since there\u2019s no OIS (optical image stabilization), video can be a little shaky in some situations, but there\u2019s nothing we haven\u2019t seen before in other Android phones, and certainly have not expected at this price range. \u00a0Overall this is by far not the best camera we\u2019ve seen on a <a title=\"Meizu M1 Note Malaysia Launch: 5.5\u2033 Full HD, 64BIT CPU, 13MP Cam and Dual Sim for RM699\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-m1-note-launch\/\">average price range<\/a> phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/19.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3222\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/19.jpg\" alt=\"19\" width=\"700\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/19.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/19-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/19-640x326.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/19-1024x521.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For just under $200 or <a title=\"Meizu M1 Note Malaysia Launch: 5.5\u2033 Full HD, 64BIT CPU, 13MP Cam and Dual Sim for RM699\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-m1-note-launch\/\">RM699<\/a>, we wouldn\u2019t recommend any other phone on the market but this phone, so long as you\u2019re not on T-Mobile or one of their MVNO\u2019s of course.\u00a0You\u2019re getting a phenomenal build for a reasonable price and a great looking phone od that budget, but it\u2019s definitely going to make some people think you\u2019ve got an iPhone if you\u2019re OK with that sort of thing.\u00a0The camera is definitely the best in this price range, and the display is on the top line as well.\u00a0Performance is by far the best in this category and can compete even with phones at doubled price or more. \u00a0Meizu\u2019s Flyme OS is unique and has its quirks, but it\u2019s ultra-fast, responsive and can be very pretty too. \u00a0The biggest complaint is the sound output, which could be better, <a title=\"Meizu Users get Android 5.0 Update this week with Flyme 5.0\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/meizu-android-5-0-update\/\">especially<\/a> when used on higher-end sound systems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"903844ba193d23ab2be2617b0fd6a8be\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- MY End of Content -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2014 is a remarkable year for Chinese OEM Meizu, who traditionally would only launch one flagship per year.
