Meizu M2 Note

The Meizu m2 note doesn't take it upon itself to make its predecessor obsolete. And perhaps Meizu wouldn't want to cut out the highly popular m1 note anyway. More like trying to capitalize on that and expand westwards. Only 6 months behind the original, it's a slightly underpowered version, but with a microSD slot and wider LTE support. The latter backs up Meizu's ambition to expand beyond its home market. On the other hand, the phone was rumored as Meizu m1 note 2 ahead of its announcement and we guess that makes sense too now. But this is not to say the m2 note is an inferior package. In fact, even with its downgraded specs - for which Meizu is charging less than the m1 note's current price - it's still an excellent choice for the budget-conscious buyer. And although Meizu's own marketing is focused on the younger audience, advanced users too can find the package attractive enough. Keen gamers are perhaps the only group that would do well to look elsewhere - the m2 note's GPU simply isn't up to the task. Other than that though, we can't think of any major issues we'd call deal-breakers in a phone that costs less than $200. The Meizu m2 note has a more than decent build, quality screen and a capable camera. The expandable memory and Android Lollipop are certainly very welcome too.
