Camera:

There is an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture on the smartphone's back, and the photos that it takes look quite presentable. We see a good amount of detail in macro shots, the shutter lag almost non-present, and the color balance is accurate, as long as you are not shooting with the sun near the photo's background. The 1080p video that the Meizu MX takes is also of decent quality. Photos taken indoors are nothing special, but are comparable to what other 8-megapixel smartphone cameras of this class can capture.

Multimedia:

We are satisfied with the Meizu MX's stock music player, as it has a nice interface, supports a wide variety of file formats, and allows you to browse your collection folder by folder, so you don't need to be all that organized. It may have no home screen widget, but playback controls are always available when you hold down the menu button. The video player also works great. It can handle any popular video format with resolution up to 1080p.

some few tweaks here and there and this device could actually be a success

3. Mll4eveR. posted on 11 Jul 2012, 09:28 2

it's already a success at its price range.

to everyone. Don't take this personally. It's just a joke. I'm asian.

What's the point of setting max clock speed when Exynos by design changes the number of cores, frequency, and voltage on its own

Nice specs for a small phone, now those who want powerful tech won't need to buy phones with large screens if it doesn't suit them. Of course I have a feeling u.s. availability will be through gray market imports.

The screen aspect ratio combined with the size is what has me hooked... I really like it...

This smartphone looks awesome. I would definitely buy it.

16. Commentator posted on 12 Jul 2012, 14:44

It looks like some unholy cross between an iPhone and a One X (in other words, it looks sweet!)

I especially love the look of the capacitive buttons and home button. The dynamic dots look awesome, I wish more manufacturers would do something like this, at least as far as making them rotate with screen orientation. HTC did it with the international version of the Incredible 2, and sort of with the Flyer, but sadly stopped after that.

I just think they should change the design of the phone for the next gen as its getting more know, or just release another model idk

13. tiara6918 posted on 12 Jul 2012, 03:10

Yeah, I feel the same way too that meizu should change the design for mx, it really reminds me of the iPhone. But overall, I really like this phone but I hope that they'll sell it on other countries as well

HTC One X should hide it's face from limelight!! The benchmark tests tells us so!!

19. Raymond_htc posted on 14 Jul 2012, 08:05 2

btch please, it may be the worst benchmark among the 4 smartphones, but bare in mind that the One X's benchmark is very high for today's standards, and beats tons of android smartphones today.

For anyone looking for a unique device with a smaller screen (hard to believe we have gotten to the point that 4.0" screens are small, ain't it?), this seems to be a true, fun option. Good review.

Don't get why Phonearena hates plastic backed/bodied phones. Metal backing/bodied are too ''old'' and heavy. Plastic/Polycarbonate are now what i call the 21st Century Material!!!!

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks that the camera takes really blurry pictures? Just look at the picture of the church, it's totally out of focus on the lower left area, and it's got a purplish shade... Awful 8MP camera.

Does anybody know where to buy a case for this phone? i bought it in China but I brought it to US. I know a lot of chinese places to buy cases, but i'm more looking for a premium case that can be purchased in US. I have looked up otterbox, case mate and sgp, but none of them has the cases for this phone. Does anybody know if any company sells cases?

I saw some on Amazon from a company called Spigen. Dunno if these are what you're looking for but :http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=meizu+mx+case+sgp&rh=i:aps,k:meizu+mx+case+sgp&ajr=0

I think these phones are pretty nice. Why don't they sell it here?
