Meizu MX4 review: Alternadroid

7 November 2014
While Xiaomi’s busy conquering the world with hardly leaving China, and the likes of Oppo and Huawei think globally, as they act locally, Meizu is somewhere in between. Some three years now and several generations of supercharged...

And yes, benchmarks says Adreno 330 is more powerful, but real games says G6200 MP4 have better performance, look videos on this web and open your eyes: http://www.forocoches.com/foro/showthread.php?t=3983554&highlight=meizu

      The PowerVR G6200 is a 'dual-core' (two cluster would be the correct wording) GPU from the PowerVR Series 6 generation.
      iPhone 6 has a GX6450 GPU. That's a four cluster GPU from the PowerVR Series 6XT generation.
      'Perhaps Meizu didn't optimize the GPU to its full potential, but we're only guessing.'
      No it did, that's just how fast the G6200 is.

              lets go, 08 Nov 2014I agree. What I don't understand is this blind fanaticism... moreThe battery is removable. You just need to undo lots of screws to remove inner backcover. That's how it was with MX2 and MX3. But MX4, afaik, has classic removable battery.

                SteeD, 08 Nov 2014Why make a review of an unknown phone you can find nowhere...?GSMArena were making a lot of reviews on Motorola devices that were only available in USA. But GSMArena isn't an american site. But unlike those local and unknown outside US Verge, AndroidPolice or similar, GSMArena is an international site located in Europe. People here come from all around the World. So unlike those american sites that only makes reviews on something available only on US market this site is about top technologies from all around the world. And here in Europe we have Meizu.

                        What I don't understand is this blind fanaticism with all things Apple.

                        Even though Apple arrives years later, the belief is that Apple invented whatever procedure/function/ design

                        iPhone are premium PRICED products only, you either pay the price or did without.

                        Many of these companies based in China are offering Android version "iPhones" for a fraction of the cost but based on Apple architecture.

                        These devices ALL WITHOUT EXCEPTION have had for years specs much higher than even the iPhone6.

                        The iPhone6 & 6+ being bigger than the iPhone5S as you point out BEING first to market Meizu have copied Apple

                        The only one copying is Apple and even though 2 years separate the release it clear where the iPhone6 was based on http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378

                        If Meizu, Xiaomi, etc want to export the phones they need to include memory expansion and a removable battery (i.e. NON Apple) for a true Android experiance.

                        Oppo Find includes memory expansion and a removable battery but are expensive which the article states!

If we wanted an iDevice that runs like a droid why is samsung dominating the market here? We clearly want droids that ARE droids... These so called droids that run like iDevices are usually only popular in china, if fhats what u meant by asia then i suggest GSMArena takes a clearer look on their world map as asia doesnt just mean east asia and china
