Short Review
- The Meizu M5 Note features a solid build with dimensions of 153.6 x 75.8 x 8.2 mm and a weight of 175g, available in Gray, Silver, Gold, and Blue.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing a sharp pixel density of approximately 403 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM, ensuring decent multitasking capabilities.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP rear camera with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF, capable of recording 1080p video, while a 5 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery supports 24W charging, providing ample power for daily use, but lacks wireless charging.
- Running on Android 6.0 with Flyme 7.3, the software experience is user-friendly, though it may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device also retains a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the Meizu M5 Note combines a reliable performance with a decent camera and battery life in a stylish package.
