ive ordered now m2 note sa lazada ,still confirming pa.. as i read your comments, parang ok naman sya ..compared sa nagustuhan kong zte blade a711 (google it) . i do hope magandahan ako sa phone lalo na pinaghirapan ko yung pera na yun makabili lang ng ganitong mid-end phone.
May Meizu M2 Note ako, ang masasabi ko lang ay maganda ang design ng M2 compared sa AFP. Single button lang ang makikita mo sa kanya at un ung home button na kasama na rin ang back function sa button na un(tap to back function at press to home function). Malinaw na malinaw ang screen niya kahit hindi ka nakafull brightness. Kelangan lang ng screen pro o TG kasi sa pagkakaalam ko wala siyang protection tulad ng gorilla glass o dragon tail, madulas din ang back cover sa likod kaya need ng case. Maganda ang front cam nya kahit 5mp lang siya, malinaw na malinaw kapag sa well lit environment(kasi wala naman flash front e). Rear cam? Mas maganda kasi dual tone flash sya kaya kahit sa poor lit environment ay malinaw pa rin. Sa gaming performance ay ok din sya kasi natry ko asphalt 8, real racing 3, ea sports ufc, chaos rings 3, real steel, at Tekken 6(PPSSPP) ay lahat smooth. Matakaw daw sa RAM? Malaki pa ang tira nya, at para san ang size ng RAM mo kung di ito magagamit? OS nya ay Flyme, android 5.1, smooth ang interface nya at mabilis ang response time nya sa mga swipe, touch, etc..
Ang bug nya ay ung google play games, pero may solution na sa fb group ng m2. May mga software bugs pa pero pero di naman major problems, sa update baka mawala na un at pwede din mag install ng ibang firmware version kung hndi ka makpaghintay sa official updates na nasa fb group din ng m2.
Note: Wag nyo po ibase lahat sa antutu ang desisyon nyo sa pagpili ng bibilhing smartphone. Pwedeng mataas nga sa score, tapos pagdating sa real world ay hindi siya optimized.
how is the performance of the camera and battery of meizu m2note?
m2 note does’nt have fm radio….sayang!!!!! bye m2! hello zenfone 2!
