HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
Meizu officially introduced a few days ago the Meizu Pro 5 – a 5.7-inch smartphone that is powered by an Exynos 7420 octa-core CPU and up to 4GB RAM. If that configuration is familiar, that is because the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 also features the same specs. To see how both phones fare against each other on paper, we prepared a specs comparison which you can check below.

Hindi lang price ang pinagkaiba. Para ka na ring nag galaxy series dahil sa chipset + micro sd at mas malaking battery. Di rin naman big deal ang 4gb ng note 5 dahil marami pang ram management issues at sapat na ang 3gb sa karamihan. Siguradong mauubos ito sa novotech once dinala nila to sa pinas.
