Meizu MX review: Amaze U

22 December 2011
This is easily a phone you can pretend doesn't exist. And you don't have to try too hard either. The Meizu MX is something of a chimera. An iPhone body and a droid mind. It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to. For a phone coming from...

I'm wondering how this phone got exnyos chipset and Mali 400 Gpu and galaxy nexus don't ?"!!!!!!. I think Google knows something about Samsung chipset.

    If the price is set right, that is, like a typical chinese phone. Then this one is really gonna be a Huge Hit!

      Its not a good idea to imitate iphones design. Thats what Chinese companies are excellent in imitating products. The features are good too by looking at the specifications but dont deliver its best according to the reviews. The camera is a quite disappointment, the photos taken were not that impressive. But if the price of this phone is cheap, well then, this would be a best buy!

          AnonD-34433, 23 Dec 2011Very disappointed this point every they copy Iphone to. I'm... moreIts clearly not a copy. Wait, a black, touchscreen phone? It gotta be a copy, right? Though they should not have that reflection (thats similar), its a decent phone. Not crap at all.

              China product aims to put all the best eggs into a single basket. User always complain why they "best" phone always falls short at some area, that where China do it the best. To cover every aspect of user opinion and create the best from all worlds. I support. Like it or not, China going to suppress Euro market sooner or later. Just acknowledge to its supreme.

              IP4 and S2 yawn~

                If you want to use your own ringtones ,you should choose the musics and put them into "Ringtones",then you can see that in sitting

                PS. I'm a Chinese student who use the M9.My Engilsh isn 't very good, I hope you can understand what I say >

                    About the custom ringtone, you can set it in settings>sound>phone ringtone

                    If you scroll down you'll see custom ringtones, which are the files in the Ringtones folder on the internal memory

                        I like the UI, actually MIUI is copy from Flyme OS first.

                          I don't see what's wrong with taking the aesthetic cues from the iPhone and making something like Flyme OS. This, to me, doesn't look anything like iOS, it looks more advanced and more mature. I like the aesthetics of iOS but want it on android. Here's my answer, Flyme OS (and MIUI). Everyone who likes the hideous UI of sense/Stock Gingerbread, go for it, i don't care, that's you.

                          ps Loving MIUI v4, it feels like a merging of MIUI and ICS ui

                              looks like the UI is MIUI, or at least MIUI with some tweaks. Other phones can use this.

                                Very disappointed this point every they copy Iphone to. I'm expecting to lawsuit this china phone soon by Apple. Beside, I much prefer to buy other phone product like Samsung instead cheap, made in China Phone of Meizu MX.

                                BTW, Apple doing great but Android also doing great. Hard to imagine which are you in.
