Short Review
- The Meizu M3s features a compact design with dimensions of 141.9 x 69.9 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 138g, available in Silver, Gray, Pink, and Gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6750 chipset, the phone utilizes an octa-core CPU and comes with options of 2GB or 3GB of RAM, providing adequate performance for everyday tasks.
- The 13 MP rear camera captures decent images with an f/2.2 aperture and supports 1080p video recording at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3020 mAh, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 5.1 with Flyme 5.1, the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, yet the device retains a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Meizu M3s presents a solid, if unremarkable, option in its category.
