    I'm wondering about how good is the battery life. How long does it last in real application in Stand-by Time, Talking Time, and Browsing Time?

      AnonD-50892, 14 Jan 2016 You're absolutely wrong about the camera of this handset ... moreTechnically it's great, but when used in actual, it's really a disappointment.

        Got my Pro 5(64gb, black/gray) 2 weeks ago.

        Pro:
        Fast processor
        Good battery life
        Great sounds
        Finger print sensor is accurate
        User Friendly gestures


        Cons:
        Poor camera (dull images)
        Poor display (Yellowish and dim)
        Compatibility of some applications (FB messenger not fully supported after update)
        Google Playstore is not pre installed.
        Zombie tsunami will automatically become chinese version after installing the english version from play store.
        Glitch in the sound when liking a facebook post while listening to music via earphones.
        Limited Accessories.
        Otg for usb type is hard to find.


        This phone is really faulty.

        This is a waste of money, unless meizu would fix the camera algorithm and the other bugs.

          I have not gotten a hold of this phone yet, but looking at its specs, im simply impressed! But with different views and opinions around, for me it is just a matter of personal preference at the end of the day. But let us not forget that we cannot avoid some defects from unit to unit, that is why experiences vary from one to the other...

            After having used this phone for quite some time now, I have the following comments:
            Pros:
            1. Battery life (I didn't get the 95 hours endurance rating like in the gsmarena test, but anyway it's better than many phones out there now)
            2. Lovely design and build quality
            3. Flyme OS 5 (after the upgrade) is a joy to use, it's my favourite OS on top of Android
            4. Top notch performance (with Flyme 5 is virtually "flying")
            Cons:
            1. Display quality disappointing (screen turns bluish when tilted and sometimes all colours of the rainbow)
            2. Camera overexposes all pictures even in normal light conditions, pictures are "burnt" in the sunlit areas - this is a huge disappointment, low light is miserable - producing a lot of noise and unreal, cartoony artifacts, selfie cam is very poor as well
            I would not include as a con some of Flyme bugs and omissions which the development team might be working on it.
            So my advice is that if you can overcome the cons, you might be very pleased with this phone, I just couldn't and sold it already.
            I just don't know why gsmarena team portrait it as the best phone on the planet.
            On the other hand, there's not too much alternative out there.

                Anonymous, 21 Jan 2016This or Motorola Moto X Style?Meizu has better specs but is more pricey.
                The question is, do you really need so much power of a cpu in your cellphone or not?
                If you play games choose the Meizu.
                If not, choose MOTO X STYLES.

                        You're absolutely wrong about the camera of this handset . Meizu uses the PRO 5 Sony IMX 230 sensor in its most updated version with picture quality and stunning video ! See story on the comparison of the cameras between 5 Galaxy Note vs LG V10 vs Nexus 6P vs Meizu Pro 5, this site . Meizu put the very best in this handset such as build quality, screen, processor, and especially battery life , reaching 95H in gsmarena test. Before talking about a device , technically known about it.

                          So this phone is a samsung galaxy s6 edge plus with a different os and a diffrent display but so while in the samsung galaxy s6 edge plus its curved display and its 2160p on meizu pro 5 its 1080p and its not curved but the difference in price is huge the meizu pro 5 costs 412€ wile the s6 edge plus costs 799€ fir the same storage and ram configuration while i think that the meizu pro 5 its better because of the price if you dont mind the lack of curved display and display res and design i would recommend the meizu pro 5 (oh my god 300 € difference for only the bump on display res and curved edges and design ). :(

Regarding your isse with widget, you can go to the security app and allow your widget to work in background. Restart your phone and voila, works like magic :) anyway, for me the phone is superb in most area, usability, battery, power...but Flyme should improve on their native apps such as contacts, messaging etc...their native apps mostly only usable in China, however such feature if can be used outside china would be amazing such as the yellow pages in the contact app..otherwise, im quite happy with what i get :)

It can get really dark, and really bright, no problems under sunlight, and also no problems in the middle of the night, even if the screen is "only" 1080p it is very sharp, I don't know when it going to India, but you can buy on eBay.
