Meizu MX Review (Quad-core)

Most people in the USA have never heard of Meizu, and that’s because it is a Chinese company that has not yet entered the U.S market. However, they have made a name for themselves abroad by launching this cute quad-core phone: the Meizu MX.

The name stands for “M10″ and it was unveiled in December of 2011, then was launched several times in 2012 in a dual-core, then quad-core version. It had people lined up in front of stores, so we were really curious to get our hands on one. For some of you, this will be your first introduction to Meizu. For others, this review will bring additional details about the Meizu MX. But all of you should pay attention: this company is rising fast. (more…)

Meizu MX 4-core review

If it feels like yesterday you read our in-depth review of the dual-core Meizu MX, you’re not too far from the truth. In reality, it’s been just over seven months and we’ve already moved onto the smartphone’s quad-core sequel, aptly named the Meizu MX 4-core. Not only is it easy to confuse the two phones by name, but good luck trying to tell which one is which. Indeed, the two handsets are quite similar both inside and out, with the exception of some improvements in a couple rows on the ‘ol spec sheet.

The biggest surprise isn’t necessarily the speed with which the company cranked out a second MX, and it’s not even the reasonable price (HK$3,099, or US$400, or the 32GB version, and HK$4,099 / US$530 for the 64GB). Nope, it’s seeing Meizu, a manufacturer known for its copycat products, evolving into a relevant player beyond its native China. So how does this latest effort stack up? Read on to find out.

Meizu MX 4-core is new name for quad-core smartphone

Meizu was one of the first few companies to come up with what they call the iPhone killer, although it is without a doubt that Meizu failed in its objective. I am quite surprised to see the smartphone company last all the way till today, as I still have not seen any of my friends carry a single Meizu device all these years. Surely someone out there has been using Meizu phones to warrant the company not throwing in the towel? Well, the Meizu MX has just been renamed to the Meizu MX 4-core recently, where it will be made available for sale from June 30th onwards.

The 32GB model will retail for around $400 after conversion, while those who want double the storage space can settle for a $530 Meizu MX 4-core, or thereabouts. Forget about the 16GB model – it does not look likely at this point in time for such a capacity to be released. You will be able to choose from ivory white, milky lime, lilac purple and misty pink colors.
