Unlike its bigger sibling, the M3 Note, the Meizu M3 didn't adopt a metal body, but that's easily justifiable, given the entry-level class.. Overall, the handset's design doesn't steer far from that typical Meizu shape – a rectangle with soft corners, noticeable arches on the sides of its back, and thin, thin side bezels. The M3 also features a fingerprint scanner on its home button, a commendable feat for an entry-level class device.
The handset is currently up for pre-order at the prices of $92 for the 16 GB / 2 GB model and $123 for the 32 GB / 3 GB one. It will be a while before the M3 makes its way to 3rd party retailers, so you probably won't be able to get it internationally just yet. Word of warning, though — if you are considering one of these exotic midrangers, bear in mind that they might work with your operator only partially (no LTE) or not at all; that you will have to pay shipping and / or import tax, which means that the phone will end up costing more than the lucrative $92; and that some 3rd party retailers like to fill handsets with malware, so they are best to be avoided by folk that don't want a tech challenge on their hands.
