Introducing the Meizu M3 Note in Silver White with 16GB of internal storage.

Meizu M3 Note is a smartphone at an affordable price that deserves attention due to its excellent thoughtful design and modern technical equipment.

Meizu M3 Note Updates

Looking at the M3 Note versus the M2 Note, the first thing that catches your eye is the metal body, like last year's older MX5 and PRO 5 models. The previous model had a plastic case. Meizu M3 Note is made of 6000 series aluminum. The design traces a symmetrical arrangement of elements and a similarity to the iPhone. The body has a matte finish, which makes the smartphone less easily soiled and slippery. The M3 Note also has a fingerprint scanner built into the mTouch 2.1 universal button, capable of reading data in 0.2 seconds. Among other things, the new phablet received greater autonomy, faster autofocus of the camera and a modern technical base for convenient and smooth control of all functions of the device.

Display

The smartphone has a 5.5 "display with a pixel density of 403. At the same time, the device screen consumes little power. Compared to the M2 Note, the next model uses a new protective glass with a significantly better oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating and anti-reflective properties. With MiraVision ™ 2.0, images are always sharp and sharp, and colors are natural. The display boasts a flicker-free display and good viewing angles. The device supports Smart Touch, which allows you to conveniently use the working areas of large screens.

Main and front cameras Meizu M3 Note 16Gb Silver White

However, the new main camera has phase detection autofocus capable of focusing in 0.2 sec. Coupled with new technology noise reduction and photo processing, as well as a two-color flash, it became faster to take clear and high-quality pictures. Rear camera allows you to shoot video with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 with a frame rate of 30 fps.

Battery Meizu M3 Note

Perhaps the main feature of the device is its impressive autonomy, thanks to the built-in 4100 mAh battery, which is 32% more previous version... At the same time, the thickness of the device became smaller by 0.5 mm. Together with energy-efficient filling components and an optimized FlYME casing, the phablet "does not ask for an outlet" during active use for up to 2 days. Able to play up to 17 hours of video without stopping and play music for up to 36 hours.

Performance

The energy efficient MediaTek Helio P10 is responsible for the performance in the M3 Note. It is a 64-bit eight-core processor based on TSMC HPC + technology. It includes 4 Cortex-A53 cores with an operating frequency of 1.8 GHz and 4 Cortex-A53 cores - 1 GHz. This processor together with 2 GB LPDDR3 allow it to cope with most tasks at the level of flagships from Meizu and Xiaomi last year. In terms of performance, it is comparable to the HiSilicon Kirin 650.

Meizu M3s is a high-quality budget smartphone. The device has got a metal body and decent performance. Its official announcement took place in June 2016.

Appearance and ergonomics

Thanks to its sleek metal body and elegantly rounded corners, the Meise M3c looks very stylish. From the front you can see a spectacular 2.5D glass that covers the entire front side of the device. Below the display is the mTouch 2.1 mechanical button. She is not only responsible for navigation, but also allows you to instantly unlock your smartphone using the built-in fingerprint scanner. The screen is framed by a thin chrome bezel, which makes the device even more attractive. The symmetrical bottom end features multimedia speaker grilles and a MicroUSB connector. The back is made of durable aluminum, but there are plastic inserts for the antennas at the top and bottom. But the audio jack is on the top. It is worth highlighting the high-quality materials of the case and the good assembly. At the same time, the smartphone looks quite expensive, and thanks to its compact size, it is really convenient to use. Inside there is a built-in 3020 mAh battery, which demonstrates excellent indicators of autonomy. Available colors: silver, gold, pink and gray. Dimensions: height - 141.9 mm, thickness - 8.3 mm, width - 69.9 mm, weight - 138 g.

The color temperature can be freely adjusted in the special settings.

Iron and performance

The M3c device has an eight-core MediaTek MT6750 processor, which is very energy efficient. Such a chip can operate at a frequency of 1500 MHz. There is a graphics accelerator Mali-T860. Traditionally, for this manufacturer, there are several versions of the gadget on sale: with 16 GB of internal memory and 2 GB of RAM, as well as with 32 GB of RAM and 3 GB of RAM. There is support for memory cards up to 128 GB. Out of the box, the smartphone received operating system Android 5.1, as well as the exclusive Flyme shell. For example, in the AnTuTu test, the gadget confidently scores about 40,000 points. Modern games work well, but demanding projects can understate the graphics.

Communication and sound

The speaker in Meizu M3 s is moderately loud. The sound is even better in the headphones, there is a kind of power reserve even taking into account the advanced headset. There are no problems with communication, since the interlocutor is clearly audible. It is possible to install two SIM cards. The phone supports LTE networks.

Video reviews

The smartphone in my hands was ordered on AliExpress and came directly from China. Then the seller offered a white Meizu M3s mini with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory for eight thousand rubles. The phone's firmware is Chinese, but there is a Russian language. Simply put, there were no problems using this version of the smartphone.

At the time of writing the review, the same seller was offering a white Meizu M3s mini with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage already with international firmware and at a price of 7,620 rubles. A black smartphone cost 7,957 rubles, a gold one - 8,221 rubles. Pink hasn't been on sale yet.

The cost of the older model Meizu M3s mini with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of permanent memory was 10,097 rubles for the black version and 10,493 rubles for the white or gold version. There was no pink either.

In the official Russian online store MyMeizu.ru, white and black M3s mini cost the same, namely 11,990 rubles for the 2/16 GB model and 13,990 rubles for the 3/32 GB model. There were no gold and pink options.

Why such an overpayment in the official Russian store? First, for saving time. Choosing free shipping on AliExpress, you need to mentally prepare for the monthly waiting for the package. Buyers in Russia will have to wait much less.

Secondly, Meizu has no international guarantee... By purchasing a device intended for the domestic market of China, you are left without any consumer rights and will solve any problems with your smartphone yourself. When buying in an official Russian store, you get a guarantee and service.

I will not describe in detail every detail of the tested device. You can read long boring reviews with a bunch of information useless for the average user on other sites, but here everything is in business.

Design and execution

M3s mini is the only actual one on this moment metal smartphone Meizu with a 5-inch screen. It is followed by the recently tested by Lifehacker music lover 10-core flagship with a diagonal of 5.2 inches.

All other Meizu models, including the M3 Note, Pro 5, MX5 and the recently announced MX6, are equipped with a screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches or more, that is, they are rather impressive phablets and not everyone likes.

By good tradition, Meizu engineers made an aluminum case that is incredibly similar to the iPhone for the M3s mini.

From an aesthetic point of view, you can't find fault with the performance. The weight of the smartphone is only 138 grams with a thickness of 8.3 millimeters. Clean, thin lines with rounded corners look great. If you like the design of the iPhone, then the look of Meizu will also appeal to your liking.

From a technical point of view, there are no complaints about the M3s mini body either. Not only have Meizu engineers chained this budget in metal, they have not yet cheated and precisely adjusted the details. Surprisingly, the super-cheap M3s mini is built as well as the flagship Pro 6.

For the sake of cheapening, aluminum corners of the case and thin plugs that hide the antennas went under the knife. The top and bottom of the back of the M3s mini are made of plastic.

The photo shows that it is quite difficult to distinguish plastic elements from metal. The colors are identical, the difference in texture is not felt even when touched, and only shiny decorative grooves reveal the place where the metal passes into plastic.

On the front panel there is a single mechanical button, which is also an mTouch 2.1 fingerprint scanner. Touching the button is equivalent to the "Back" action, and pressing it returns the user to the home screen or duplicates the power button when the display is off.

The front-facing position of the scanner is certainly more convenient if you often turn to your smartphone lying on the table. The scanner takes a print from any angle and fires in a split second.

The power button and volume rocker are located on the right. If you do not press them, but only slightly touch them, a tiny backlash will be noticeable. In general, there are no complaints about the buttons.

On the left is a hybrid slot for two nanoSIM cards, one of which can be replaced with a microSD card with a capacity of up to 128 GB inclusive.

The external speaker, microphone and microUSB port are located at the bottom.

The only thing that the designers and engineers of Meizu M3s mini screwed up with was the position of the headphone jack.

Well, why do it on top? After all, we send the smartphone to the pocket with the top first. This arrangement of the socket creates an additional mechanical stress on the plug and wire, which means inevitable kinks and premature failure.

Another disadvantage common to all Meizu smartphones, consists in the lack of protection from water. It's time to catch up with Samsung and release equipment that meets at least the IP67 standard, and preferably IP68 right away.

Screen

Meizu M3s mini is equipped with a 5-inch IPS HD display with a resolution of 1 280 × 720 pixels.

If it seems to you that the lack of Full HD in 2016 cannot be forgiven even budget smartphone then just look at the ppi, which here is 296 pixels per inch. Jobs said that at 300 ppi the pixels are narrower, and it is unlikely that the shortage of 4 ppi greatly affected the picture quality. By at least, my eyes could not detect the pixels on the screen of the M3s mini.

The use of IPS gives the typical color accuracy of this type of display without wild, unnatural shades and white distortions. It is clear that it would be naive to count on a top-end matrix in a smartphone for 8 thousand, but the picture looks acceptable even with a strong tilt of the screen, the colors are only slightly distorted towards yellow and purple.

The presence of an anti-reflective coating allows you to comfortably work with a smartphone in the bright summer sun, and the use of the now fashionable 2.5D glass adds even more streamlining to the body.

I still have not found information about the type used in the M3s mini protective glass... But it certainly is here, and good, because after two weeks of active use of the smartphone, not a single scratch appeared on the screen.

Filling

Inside the M3s mini is an eight-core MTK MT6750 (four Cortex-A53 at 1.5 GHz and four Cortex-A53 at 1 GHz) and Mali-T860 graphics. MediaTek chips are not very suitable for heavy 3D games, but they perform excellently in terms of speed and smoothness of the system, especially when a less resource-intensive HD display is installed instead of Full HD.

In combination with even 2 GB of fast LPDDR3 RAM, the smartphone shows impressive results both in synthetics and at the level of sensations when working directly with the device.

The system is flying, applications are flying. No friezes, no slowdowns.

I did not have the opportunity to look at the older model with 3 GB of RAM, but it is logical to assume that the increased amount of memory will manifest itself when working simultaneously and switching between several weighty applications. However, the younger M3s mini does an excellent job with everyday scenarios.

The presence of a slot for a memory card actually makes any reasoning about the size of the built-in storage meaningless, and therefore you only need to choose between the older and younger M3s mini models based on the number and resource intensity of the applications used.

Unfortunately, Meizu M3s mini does not have NFC, but there is support for all other current types of communication, including 5 GHz Wi-Fi, 4G and Bluetooth 4.0.

• Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac.
• 2G GSM / GPRS / EDGE (900/1 800/1 900 MHz).
• 3G WCDMA / HSPA + (900/2 100 MHz).
• 4G FDD-LTE (1 800/2 100/2 600 MHz).
• 3G TD-SCDMA.
• 4G TD-LTE.
• Bluetooth 4.0, BLE support.
• GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS.

Cameras

Obviously, no outstanding sensors can be expected in such a cheap smartphone. But those that do exist provide an acceptable quality of shooting in automatic mode under favorable conditions. And the lack of light can be compensated for by manual mode, HDR and Meizu's proprietary circular two-tone flash. Thanks to the powerful stuffing, the cameras work very quickly.

The main camera here is exactly the same as in the Meizu M3 Note: 13 megapixels, f / 2.2, powerful flash, there is a PDAF. You can judge the quality of the photo yourself.

The front 5-megapixel camera with f / 2.0 aperture and software enhancement of images gives wonderful selfies and records Full HD video.

System

M3s mini runs on Android 5.1, on top of which the proprietary shell Meizu Flyme 5.1 is installed.

Flyme almost completely changes the default Android interface, but you get used to it quickly enough.

Flyme has no superfluous software, only the most necessary pre-installed applications and a utility for optimizing and maintaining the system in a normal state. With its help, you can launch a comprehensive smartphone diagnostics in one tap, put things in order in memory, debug power consumption, check for viruses, and so on.

At the beginning of the review, I talked about just one system button on the front panel, which takes over the "Back" and "Home" functions. Are you wondering how the application manager is called in this case? To do this, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Why didn't Google come up with this?

Flyme is perfectly optimized, and in combination with a powerful stuffing, an extremely nimble system is obtained, which is pleasant to use.

Battery

The M3s mini has a 3,020 mAh non-removable battery. With moderate use, the battery lasts for two days. In more active scenarios with a visit to YouTube, Play Music, frequent browsing of the browser and social networks, the smartphone lives for 18-22 hours.

The best budget employee of 2016?

I hope that while reading this review, you kept in mind the cost of the M3s mini, that is, everything described above can be obtained for less than 8 thousand rubles. Meizu M3s mini is a compact and beautiful aluminum smartphone with an excellent screen, a fingerprint scanner, powerful hardware and expandable memory, all the current types of communication, decent cameras and a well-functioning system. Don't you think that Meizu M3s mini looks like the best budget employee of 2016?

Pros: I gave my mom a good phone, from the filling to the appearance, after numerous reviews on Yandex.
Cons: Russian language disappears after the update! the phone turns into a piece. To my mom, who first met android and this piece caused a lot of trouble.
Feedback: I heard that these are all agreements between the manufacturer and the dealers, I don’t know how true this is, but I’ll take the phone back to the store, and if they don’t accept, a claim with all the ensuing consequences.

13.12.18
I did not take the phone, rolled back the update and put a ban on updating. As a result, the phone is still as smart as when you bought it. The grandchildren grew up and began to torment this phone with games and it copes with everything. V general phone is good in itself, but company policy is not for us.

11/13/2018 Rating

Pros: Fast, long-lasting, powerful, not very expensive, good screen.
Cons: After 3 months, the sensor on the button died. TouchID and Back don't work. You can live without TouchID, but the back button is already a problem. But I turned on SmartTouch and for now, you can work with it. Physically, the button works.
Review: The phone is good, it looks like an iPhone in many ways. Meizu ripped off almost the entire design of the iPhone 6. But the button is a sore spot of these phones, they die very quickly. I have been using it for 3 months already.

Feedback: I was pleasantly surprised by this device. Looks and feels much more expensive than it actually is. Works great too, despite the MTK processor.

Pros: Screen, tactile feel super
Cons: Like all Chinese .... Died in a couple of months.

Review: Well, actually, like the previous LeTv 1s, it turned into a brick in a couple of months.
There is no time to get to the guarantee yet.
I took 6 athos, and I still use the five. I'm not going to take more non-names. Played enough with android slag.

I will add. To date, it has been repaired under warranty (it has long been repaired, my hands did not reach to write). Pleases. Covered true finger sensor and vibration in home button... And the rest will do (like the 2nd or 3rd phone-)).

Pros: after two years of use on firmware 5.1.5.3g (that is, almost without updating), the phone has not changed at all - it still works well, and the battery keeps everything just as well
v everyday use after all, what is the most important thing? screen, autonomy and network reception
everything is fine with the screen, with autonomy too, but about the network reception ...
4g as stable as an eagle
Cons: but 3g is not caught from the word at all, if you have to sit after 3g, then you should be prepared for a nightmare with a net blade
after all, I don't like the camera in it, the painfully boring colors in the on-camera jeep and painfully strange compression algorithms
the absence of 6/7 android, although it was promised for several years
nonsense with an indication of the battery charge - it stays at 100% for about several hours, but drops from 10 to 0 in seconds
Review: in general - the phone is like a phone
does not cause irritation, it works stably, it copes with my tasks perfectly, if there weren’t any shortcomings of these, it’s an excellent model

Pros: - Long battery life
- Fly and one-button controls
- Design
- Fingerprint
- Aluminium case
- Price in China
Cons: - After a year and a half, the fingerprint stopped working. The button itself is pressed and Back is triggered.
- Difficult to match protective glass and case. The display is 2.5D, and the glasses for this model are flat.
- The Flyme account is too "Chinese", although it costs global firmware(I sewed myself with a replacement ID). Relative minus.
- The body is slippery. I wear it in a silicone case.
Review: This is not an iPhone, and there were no special requirements for the phone initially. It works well, the charge holds for two days, it is convenient to use. For its price, it works 150%. It's a pity that I didn't take it from 32Gb of memory ...

Pros: Build quality, speed of work, ergonomics. Fully corresponds to its value.
Cons: Large air gap between glass and display. Inability to upgrade to Android 6
Review: Great smartphone! In 2018 it will still be relevant. I have been using this smartphone for a month and during this time no inconveniences in the form of lags, brakes and other wickedness typical for budget models have been noticed! The device is very comfortable, ergonomic and responsive. Among the shortcomings, I can list the weak contrast of the display (colors are pale and unsaturated), a large air gap between the display and the glass, which creates the appearance of menu icons recessed into the body. The speaker is average, no bass and not very loud, but overall the sound is good. In headphones, he will memorize average, also without an obvious bias to bass. The charge is enough for a day of medium-active use. In general, the device is the best for its price. Take it without thinking!

12/22/2017 Rating

Pros: Price, functionality, appearance, availability of accessories, energy consumption
Cons: It seems not
Feedback: I have been using it for more than two months, so far I am very happy with everything. I ordered at my own peril and risk from the Chinese bazaar, because even now it is cheaper by 4 thousand than in local stores. The battery lasts 12 hours if continuously, I emphasize, it is to continuously use a bunch of applications, play and watch movies. If you use it sparingly, then it will be more than enough for three days.
Upd. A year later, the home button stopped responding (the button sensor and the fingerprint scanner do not work) and the system began to freeze very strongly and often, up to forced reboot... Having rummaged through the forums, I found out that this is a standard defect for this model, and that everything is solved by replacing the button. The button was ordered from the same Chinese bazaar for 320 ribs and is expected from day to day. Hopefully it will help, although in fact I have already got used to it without it, especially since the phone has almost stopped freezing)
Upd 2. Replacing the button did not help, I will try to change the firmware, they say it helps

Pros: Good battery, more than half a year was enough for a day with frequent use of calls + social networks + video communication.
Tip: Before charging your phone, put it down to at least 7%, and do not use it while charging. After such practice, he began to fail even for half a day) This, in principle, applies to all phones.

Good memory, never mentioned memory limitation. I used it without a flash card, with a bunch of music, a bunch of photos and applications.
Cons: The camera is good, but it is very light in white, does not reproduce colors, pale photos. Although the screen itself is good in terms of color reproduction.

After half a year, I began to dull, not open some applications, I had to restart the phone, I thought that it was due to the "clogging" of the phone, I cleaned up unnecessary applications, it still remained the same.

And finally Flume, constant requests for updating the system, ok, good, but the update is not russified ... either in English or in Chinese, which is even more difficult)) it took me a while to russify the update))
Review: I am such a user about whom one can say "hands are not out of hand" so I never buy expensive phones, but I want something with all the stuffing, all the cases.
I used it for a year, I never regretted it) The only thing, for example, in my city, spare parts for the maize are difficult to find) By the way, like other accessories, such as covers and protective glass) I broke the screen, I had to change it to Chinese, because the original is very difficult to find) and now I drowned it, they say you can fix it, but again you need to wait about a month for spare parts)) therefore, I decided to buy a new phone) Meizu, I loved you)

Pros: It's time to write a review, after more than six months of use.
The screen is good. HD resolution is enough, pixels are not visible. Round objects are really round, there are no ladders. The viewing angles are good, only diagonally there are color distortions, but this is probably the case on all ips matrices.
4g, wifi, bt 4.0 work fine (but not 3g, about that in the drawbacks)
Autonomy NORMAL. Quite enough, but 2 days will not pull. If you play online, like clash royale - 4-5 hours. Watching movies about wifi - 11% per hour at medium brightness. These are good results, hd plays an important role (with full hd it would live less - the screen is the main consumer of the charge)
Appearance, quality at altitude.
Easy navigation thanks to mTouch and gestures.
Of course flyme is a very good shell. Beautiful, customizable (flymetools).
There are useful tools - restricting Internet access to applications, traffic control, antivirus that does not load the system, a kind of assistive touch iphone but better implementation. A lot of everything, and everything is out of the box.
Performance is normal. Applications, 2d games with a bang. 3d is not very much anymore - it heats up, not much.
Simplicity of firmware, obtaining root rights. Everything here is extremely simple, done in 2 clicks.
A lot of good things in the phone
Cons: Sound. The phone is not a musical one. You can certainly buy good headphones, but he will not rock them.
3g - the feature of the phone is that the 3g antenna is located at the bottom of the phone and when it is gripped by the hand, it overlaps tightly, the speed drops dramatically, and it can even get hit. Without 4g or wifi it is not recommended for purchase.
Android 5.1 and there will be no update. Of course, the shell brings a lot of chips that were relevant up to and including android 7.0, but compared to 8.0 it is already lagging behind
Marriage mTouch - the button is denied by a very large number of users, it lives from 2 months to a year. So far, everything is fine with me.
The camera is so-so, I don't use it too much. But even the text does not photograph very well - it focuses poorly.
Firmware - it is recommended to use beta 6 fly - more stable than stable, lol.
Absence google services- downloaded in a couple of clicks, but some have problems.
The problem with charge percentages - for many, the phone keeps 100% for a long time, but from 10 to 0 it discharges in a couple of minutes. Inconvenience does not deliver in principle, because phones, in principle, cannot be discharged below 30-20 - it is harmful for the battery.
Bt 4.0 is somewhat outdated. With xiaomi mi band 2 works fine, but when buying accessories, you already need to check for bt compatibility. For example, headphones with bt 4.1 no longer see
Review: The phone is just great, if you don't overpay. You can take it for 6.5-7k, but not for 9-10 - it's better to choose something else, for this price the phone is already a little outdated.
The bottom line - the phone is beautiful, pleasant, convenient in everything, but there are drawbacks

Pros: 1. Performance: even in energy saving mode works pretty fast. Random access memory is also quite enough.
2. Autonomy: the charge is free for up to a day and a half, although I constantly use social networks, use Wi-Fi, transport applications, sometimes the screen is turned on for hours without interruption. Only I don’t use toys. In winter, it began to hold a little less, apparently due to the cold, then the previous level returned. Now, more than a year after the purchase, the battery still works the same. Once every couple of weeks I completely discharge and recharge - so, for prophylaxis.
3. Stability: for all the time, it has been hanging three or four times by force, now it generally functions at the same level as when buying.
4. Flyme: light, beautiful. For decorator lovers, there are many themes and wallpapers of their own. Plus the ability to configure a bunch of permissions / bans for apps. Closes applications on its own in the background, but you can create an exclusion list. V old version there were problems with notifications from instant messengers and turning off Google music after three minutes background mode, after the update it was gone.
5. Design and convenience. No, really, I personally like outwardly more than most other smartphones. Plus the laconic Great button, which, when touched, performs the function of returning, when pressed - "home", it can also turn the screen on and off, it scans prints, in general, it is the same in many faces. The power and volume buttons are also conveniently located.
6. Vitality: dropped several times, did not even reboot.
7. Official seller and service in Russia.
Cons: 1. The address book is not very conveniently organized, and there is no way to reconfigure it, but for me this is an insignificant problem.
2. Combined slot for a second SIM / memory card. Some may find it uncomfortable. I don’t use the second SIM card, I’m fine.
3. Sometimes it cannot find the network after a trip to the subway. It is solved by turning on / off the flight mode.
Review: The case when a relatively low-cost model (then it took at the official point of sale for 12,000 rubles, which looked almost cheaper than all similar models of the more popular manufacturers at that time) definitely exceeded all expectations. I thought that the battery would give up, that it would start to hang, wither, that it would have to be replaced in a year ... Nothing of the kind.
Here they describe various problems with firmware, shutdown and all that. What can I say - take it from a trusted seller, and you will be happy.

Pros: good camera, works quickly, looks
quite a lot fell without a cover, crashed only by the end of the year of use - and the sensor still worked
Cons: after 4 months of use, it started to fail.
I opened applications for a long time, sometimes I did not open calls for several days. the most inconvenient glitch - began to delay SMS. nothing critical if you didn't need online savings)
Review: overall a good phone, but I wouldn't buy one again)

Pros: price
FLYME
one (!) button for all phone control processes
metal cover
battery and energy management (fast charging)
standard audio player with built-in equalizer
external camera
Cons: only one representative office in Moscow (((

Feedback: One and a half years, normal flight. The phone pleases with its performance and efficiency. FLYME is generally a super-OS with a bunch of pluses taken from Android + Ios. By the way, we bought a model U10 3/32 for my wife a year ago = she is also delighted (both switched to Meizu from apple phones).
In short, "BETTER MEIZU, only NEW MEIZU"!
