If you are looking for an affordable phone with the latest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and specs that could be considered flagship just a year ago, it can't get much better than Meizu's newest darling, the
M2 Note. The 5.5" phablet comes in a number of jolly pastel colors for its polycarbonate unibody with magnesium alloy frame. It also sports a 1080p screen with 450 nits of brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, the latest 64-bit octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 13 MP rear camera with dual LED flash, and a 5 MP front-facing shooter.
The phone is also equipped with 4G dual SIM dual-standby connectivity, and the cherry on the top is that Meizu has placed a hearty 3100 mAh battery inside - something we don't see very often at this price point. What exactly price point is that, one might ask? Well, the M2 Note just went up for preorder at reputable Chinese e-tailers for $173.99, with a M2NOTE coupon knocking it down a bit to $169 at GearBest. The preoders are ongoing as we speak from the source link below, while shipments will commence on July 5th. For now, you can only offer the gray color version, though. Any takers?
