Meizu 15 review

07 July 2018
Fifteen is a pretty big number. Quite the milestone, one might say, from a purely numerical standpoint. Especially for a relatively small company, the likes of Meizu. But going by pure volume can’t really be any indication of quality. Experience, perhaps, to some extent. Also, it’s fairly obvious that Meizu skipped a few numbers. Actually, it staring out started counting from 15 – a special model, meant to commemorate the company’s fifteenth anniversary.

I bought a mobile phone as like as two peas on the website, 10, which is new and nice. The computer has long life and quick response. It's not exactly like carton, which is exactly the same as my friend bought on the official website. But I bought it 500 yuan cheaper than my friend, though it was from the same factory as the official website, but I'm worried about buying fake products. Please help me look at it.

    Why my xiaomi cant make phone like That??? mi6 is outdated and doesn't have any more support from xiaomi

        My experience is different. I have a Pro5 and never had any issues or bugs. Also updates still came until now which is more than three years after release. The battery is also still ok.

        My phone will definitely be a Meizu again.

        Why?

        Alternatives are either much more expensive or ugly as hell. The Meizu 15 and 16 both look incredible and are a great package for a great price.

        Only the support and availability for the global version could be blamed (and maybe NFC), but that is not an issue of the phone but rather a strategical decision of Meizu.

                              Thank you gsmarena for reviewing this phone and for your fair review. I own this phone for two months now. The Global version was not available when I bought it but the Aliexpress store I bought it from (Meizu Global Store) installed multi language and Google Play store. I can confirm that Google maps works fine and the one Google game I play also works fine, and Google maps and my Google game do update over the air. For me, I wanted a thin and light phone with good audio output and the Meizu 15 does all this extremely well. I was sad to see the less than stellar camera review; other sites have reviewed the camera on the Meizu 15 more positively, but I accept gsmarena as the gold standard review site. I like this phone very much. It works for me.

                                  According to google's own website , Meizu is not a certified google partner. Yet, another google site , Meizu 15 does appear in the list of devices which supports Google Play. This is a bit confusing, can anyone please clarify?

                                    This phone very negatif :
                                    - software
                                    - small battery
                                    - no nfc
                                    - no micro sd
                                    - and no, no, no...

                                    Not worth buy !

                                      The only thing Meizu lacks is customer support services.

                                        Not sure how you guys can keep going on about how this phone and the Plus are essentially the same phone, size being the only difference. Completely different form factor, completely different chipsets from different manufacturers, image processing will probably differ as a result... My dudes. Test both.
