Design and Display
Parading a chic unibody design, the Meizu m3 Note appears quite premium for the price. The chassis is fashioned out of 6000 Series aluminium – a first in the ‘m’ range, and an awesome one at that. It comes in black/grey and white/gold colour schemes.
The Meizu m3 Note is fitted with a huge IPS display measuring 5.5 inches diagonally. The touchscreen has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels promising very sharp-looking images and immersive wide-angle viewing. It features 2.5D glass.
Camera and Storage
The Meizu m3 Note delivers just about what its predecessor m2 Note offered on the camera front. It rocks a sturdy 13-megapixel camera on the rear and is fitted with a 5-megapixel snapper on the front.
This is a great pair, at least on paper. For storage, you get either 16 GB or 32 GB of zippy eMMC 5.1 solid state solution. Additional storage can be put in the mix using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
On the inside, the m3 Note is configured with an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 for highly convincing performance and robust multitasking. The Cortex-A53 CPU runs along at speeds of up to 1.8 GHz.
It is paired with a Mali T860 GPU and either 2 GB or 3 GB of RAM. The handset boots Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, overlaid with Meizu’s Flyme UI.
Other Features
One of the things you are likely to find awesome about the budget-friendly Meizu m3 Note is its mammoth 4,100mAh battery, which looks like one to get it running for hours on end. It features 4G LTE connectivity option with VoLTE support.
You also get dual SIM slots in the package, with one of these taking either a SIM or microSD card at a time. Another interesting addition to the phablet is an mTouch 2.1 fingerprint scanner nestled in the Home button.
Pricing and Availability
Meizu m3 Note is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Meizu M3 Note Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N60,000 to N75,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
