Last July, we told you about the Meizu m2 and how it was a pretty good budget smartphone but that we were sad because by then, it was only available in China. Well, now, it is going to be sold somewhere else. And if you live in South Asia, then this should be good news for you. Meizu’s successor for its m1 (of course) will be available in India by October 12. This is another coup for the country that is considered one of the fastest growing markets for mobile devices.
The specs for the version released in China and the one to be released in India next week are the same. The Meizu m2 has a 5-inch HD screen with a 1280×720 pixel resolution. The screen to body ratio is at 75.6% and comes with the Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, but also uses the FlyMe OS 4.5, exclusive to Meizu devices. It runs on a 1.3 GHz quad-core 64-bit MediaTek processor with Mali-T720 GPU. It has a 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory and can be expanded to 128GB through a micro SD card.
It has a 13MP main camera which is pretty good for a budget device, and the 5MP front facing one isn’t too shabby either. It comes in white, grey, blue, and pink colors, so if you’re fond of light or pastel-looking smartphones, then this would be right up your alley. That is, if you live in China or India or if you know anyone there.
The Meizu m2 will be available for Rs 6,999 (around $108) and will start to go on sale by October 12. But if you can’t wait until then, you can register for a sale on Snapdeal which will close by October 11.
