Meizu M2 Note (Blue Charm Note 2) vs M1 Note: specs and size comparison

The Meizu M2 Note (aka Blue Charm Note 2) is officially unveiled and it's one heck of a phone for its $130 price tag (that's full retail price). Sure, it's a lower-class device that we are yet to judge in real-life, but it has all the makings of a good phone: a 5.5" phone with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels (Full HD), a very decent MediaTek MT6573 octa-core system chip, as well as the latest available Android 5.0 Lollipop with the great Flyme skin on top.

The Meizu M2 Note takes a few shortcuts to arrive at its super-low price

Now, the first and most notable difference between the two is the fact that the new M2 Note actually supports expandable storage via microSD cards, while the original M1 Note does not have this option. The new phone also has support for 4G LTE of the FDD-LTE standard along to some TDD-LTE bands (it's made for China, though, so we recommend you check compatibility with your carrier to ensure 4G works for you, if you get it outside of China). The new phablet is also a hair thinner than the original.
