Summary
- The Allview X3 Soul features a larger 5.5-inch AMOLED display compared to the 5.0-inch IPS LCD of the Meizu M3s, offering deeper blacks and more vibrant colors.
- In terms of performance, the X3 Soul is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 chipset with 3GB of RAM, while the M3s uses the MT6750 with options for 2GB or 3GB of RAM, providing slightly better efficiency in multitasking for the X3 Soul.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, but the M3s has a slightly wider aperture at f/2.2, potentially improving low-light performance.
- The X3 Soul has a larger 3150 mAh battery compared to the M3s's 3020 mAh, which may offer better longevity.
- Both devices run Android 5.1, but the M3s includes Flyme 5.1 for a different software experience.
- In terms of build, the X3 Soul is slightly heavier and thinner than the M3s, which may affect handling preferences.
