While many Chinese smartphone makers have recently stepped up their efforts in delivering more original designs, we can't say that's the case with Meizu's latest offering. In fact, we already knew the cheeky company was up to something when the Chinese media received an iPhone 5c chassis in their invitations, and now we know why. As you can see above, the plastic M1 Note announced today comes in the shamelessly identical set of colors as the iPhone 5c: green, pink, white, yellow and blue. Starting at just CN¥999 (about $160) unsubsidized, this is Meizu's cheapest Android smartphone yet, as it attempts to compete directly with the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei in the sub-CN¥1,000 entry-level market. 虽然很多中国智能机制造商近来加速原创设计的开发，但是魅族的最新产品——呵呵，我们觉得完全不是这么回事谢谢。事实上，我们已经知道了，当中国媒体在他们的邀请函里收到了爱疯5c的底盘时，这家厚颜无耻的公司就忙于策划着什么，现在我们知道原因了。如您所见，今天他们家发布的这款塑料质感的M1 Note，和爱疯5c的相似度简直是没脸没皮到新高度：绿色，粉色，白色，黄色，和蓝色。不受任何资助，这款魅族最廉价安卓机只需人民币999元，因为它试图同像小米和华为这样1000元以下的入门级手机市场直接叫板。 On paper, the M1 Note is surprisingly good value. This dual-SIM phone comes with a 5.5-inch IGZO display with a generous 1080p resolution (whereas Xiaomi's slightly cheaper Redmi Note 4G only has 720p), Gorilla Glass 3, a 13-megapixel f/2.2 main camera, a 5-megapixel f/2.0 front-facing camera and a nice 3,140 mAh battery. It's powered by MediaTek's MT6752 chipset with an octa-core, 64-bit ready processor, a Mali T760 MP2 GPU, 2GB of RAM and FDD-LTE radio. Like the higher-end MX4 Pro, the M1 Note runs on Meizu's heavily customized Flyme 4.1 based on Android 4.4.4. |
