Design and Texture:

 

Again, Meizu has not made any compromises on their new phone’s design and texture. It continues to use the first-gen MX phone’s design but has a bigger screen and has a detachable plastic rear case. The mid-frame is made of magnalium to make it harder.

5370897_DSC06681_thumb 5370897_DSC06682_thumb 5370897_DSC06675_thumb

 

The MX4’s magnalium mid-frame was cut using a CNC process.

5370897_DSC06695_thumb 5370897_DSC06691_thumb 5370897_DSC06693_thumb 5370897_DSC06694_thumb 5370897_DSC06683_thumb

 

The MX4’s metal mid-frame and sandblast architecture, gives the phone a more comfortable feeling when handling it and stronger friction force. It does go as far as making the phone slippery because of how slim it is. It basically removes the scratchy metallic feeling from the MX3 Silver Edition.

5370897_DSC06697_thumb

The MX4’s large area using a metallic mid-frame can keep the phone more intact. That way, when it falls, it will not add a lot of pressure on the screen.

 

The MX4 sports a 5.36-inch 1920 x 1152 display screen. It still has a 15:9 screen aspect ratio and 79% screen ratio. It is surrounded by a 2.6mm frame. This, along with the phone’s rear case, makes it easier for users to use the MX4 single-handedly. These upgrades not only put an end to the complaints regarding the MX4’s resolution but also solve the power-consumption problems faced by 2K screens.

5370897_DSC06679_thumb 5370897_3-20140902171114_thumb

 

The MX4’s slimmer curved plastic rear case goes well with the metal mid-frame. Furthermore, users can just insert a card in the slot underneath the phone.

5370897_DSC06700_thumb 5370897_DSC06699_thumb 5370897_DSC06698_thumb 5370897_DSC06688_thumb

 

The MX4 sports a 20.7mp Sony IMX220 camera with 5P lens. The lens provides the camera with a blue coating. The camera is surrounded by a more tightly held Fresnel lens which smoothens the phone’s rear surface.

5370897_DSC06696_thumb

 

Overall, Meizu has pulled all the stops to ensure that the MX4’s design is more compact. The metal mid-frame and screen rubber-suspension technology decreases any accidental damage done to the screen.

Benchmark test

 

The MX4 uses MTK’s new octa-core 4G chip, the MT6595. Its biggest feature is that it uses ARM technology (Big.Little), and is composed by four Cortex-A17 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores. The Cortex-A17 cores have a frequency of 2.2GHz. All eight cores are turned on at the same time.

5370897_6595-1_thumb

 

The MT6595 uses Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR Series6 GPU which provides the phone with excellent graphics and many multimedia functions. This chip also has a LTE modem that supports 5 modes and over 30 frequencies. It is compatible with FDD/TD-LTE networks in China.

5370897_800-600-3_thumb 5370897_800-600-4_thumb

The MX4 is the first phone to use this chip and has scored 49943 in the Antutu benchmark test.

Operating System

5373167_mx40_thumb

 

       The MX4’s operating system is the Flyme 4.0 which was also introduced at the launch. This OS follows a flattened design but some improvements were made with the tabs which are more connected to each other than in the Flyme 3.0. The Flyme 4.0 comes with many tabs as well as App notification tabs, and tabs for third-party apps.

 

5373167_1001_thumb 5373167_1005_thumb

Top: MX3’s UI; Bottom: MX4’s UI

 

Regarding the camera app, there is a “smart bar” at the bottom. As the photo shows, the tabs for the video camera and photo camera are bigger and the positions for the photo app and the camera app were changed. Many other changes were made in the menu.

5373167_100010_thumb 5373167_10002_thumb

Top: MX3’s camera interface; Bottom: MX4’s camera interface

 

The tabs at the scroll-down menu are rounder and bigger including the tab that shows the time.

5373167_1000101_thumb 5373167_1000_thumb

 

Top: MX3’s scroll-down menu; Bottom: MX4’s scroll down menu

 

The Flyme 4.0 is based on the Android 4.4. From the screenshots above, we can see that the colors of the smart bar at the bottom and the task bar at the top were changed to clean up the entire user interface and more integrated. The size of the navigation bar on the left is also bigger now making easier for users to select it.

5373167_S40902-165417_thumb 5373167_100101_thumb

Overall, the Flyme 4.0 follows a similar design to the Flyme 3.0. Some basic improvements were made and its UI is more flexible now.

 

Camera

 

The MX4 is said to sport the best camera out of the entire MX series to date. What’s so great about it? The camera has 20.7mp and has a 1/2.3-inch image sensor. As a result, the area covered by the sensor has increased to 90% and a single pixel covers 1.2um x 1.2um leading to great photo quality. The MX4 also uses a .3sc TDK Closeloop focus motor which can greatly increase the speed of the camera’s focus.

5370897_DSC06689_thumb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The MX4 uses a stand-alone ISP that supports 4×1.5Gbps and can handle 10mp. As a result, the camera can take up to 25 photos per second as well as take 4K videos at 30 frames per second. This phone also comes with a dual-LED flash which can add brightness when taking photos at darker places.

5373557_p40827-165935-23_thumb 5373557_wo001_thumb 5373557_p40104-104447_thumb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These photos which were taken using the MX4 and were posted on Meizu’s official website show that the quality of photos taken with the MX4’s camera has greatly improved. Each photo has up to 8Mb, and when enlarged, still look just as good. In addition, as you can see from the photos taken at night, they are very clear. The colors are brighter and more transparent.

5370897_8000-600-1_thumb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In conclusion, the Meizu MX4 is a great device that is smoother and easier to use. This phone will be Meizu’s main artillery when facing the 4G wave and the harsh competition. With its 1799 RMB price (292.62 USD), great design, and the Flyme 4.0 OS, the MX4 will be a force to be reckoned with. Companies can take it as an example of how dreams can come true.

Lenovo to launch its Vibe X2 on 4th September

Lenovo Vibe X2 Teaser
Lenovo Vibe X2 Teaser

Lenovo has sent out invites for its event on 4th September at IFA, Berlin. Surprisingly, these invites feature a lollipop with Vibe X2 written in the centre thus fuelling claims that the company is all set to launch its latest smartphone, the Vibe X2. The lollipop seems to be hinting at Android L, the latest version of the Android operating system. The invite is topped by a satirical statement on top which says ‘We can’t sat anything either.’ This statement is definitely a take on Apple’s punchline on its invite which says ‘Wish we could say more’. Healthy humour before the start of IFA surely points out to a great event ahead. The invite also reveals more that the real name of the latest version of Android i.e. Android L is ‘lollipop’ and not ‘lemon meringue pie’. However, Google is yet to confirm this news and unless coming from Google, the world cannot believe any speculation.

The Vibe X2 will be released in a few days but if the leaked reports are to be believed the phone has a 5 inch HD screen. It is powered by a dual-core processor and 2 GB RAM. It also has a 13 mega pixel rear camera with LED flash and a 5 mega pixel front camera. According to the leaks, the phone is an exact replica of its predecessor the Vibe X but it has a better processor. The Vibe X is currently priced at INR 22,999 which is INR 3000 less than the price at which it was launched in December last year.

All mobile phone manufacturers are utilising this time to the fullest by bringing out latest phones and showcasing their latest technologies.

However, ZTE has something else in mind. Instead of jumping in the crowd like all other competitors, ZTE wants to wait till the excitement has died down. Only then will it hold a launch event of its own. It seems that the company does not want to share the attention of customers with other competitors. It wants all eyeballs to be fixed on its product. The above said event will take place on 16th September at New York City. However, it is still not clear as to which phone will ZTE launch at this event?

The company’s USA branch has launched a seven second Vine video which is the invite to this event. Since the event is taking place in USA and the invite has also been launched by ZTE USA it is being anticipated that the device will be up for sales in the USA. It is not common for ZTE products to be sold in the USA but recently Nubia 5S Mini entered the US market through a sales agreement with Amazon.com.

Gizmochina GiveAway: Enter to Win a Xiaomi 10,400 mAh Power Bank

One of the areas where even the best smartphones in the market struggle is battery life. With faster processors and new features, the battery life of these devices are drastically reduced. The size constraints further restricts companies from packing in a huge battery in their devices.

xiaomi powerbank giveaway

So, what the best solution to this problem? Well, the easiest one is to buy an external battery bank, but with them being costly, users have to live with a terrible battery life.

However, Xiaomi’s low cost 10,400 mAh battery was probably the best quality as well as the cheapest power bank alternative in the market. So, its no surprise that the power bank became quite popular among smartphone users.

However, with increasing popularity, many fakes and clones of this accessory started showing up on different stores. So, if you are planning to buy one, make sure you don’t get the clone by mistake.

real xiaomi powqerbank vs fake

Here’s a few tips to identify the real Xiaomi 10,400 mAh power bank from the several other clones in the market.

  1.  Check the packaging. The real power bank is packed in plastic paper as opposed to the fakes which come in a plastic sleeve.
  2.  Also check the finish on the product. Usually the fake ones can be easily distinguished from the real Xiaomi power bank just by looking at its finish. The real product comes with a very refined and smooth sand blasted finish with the MI logo on top, while the fake ones often sacrifice on the quality of materials used to make the product.
  3. If you don’t see any visible difference in the finish, check the text at the bottom of the battery. Usually, the clones use a low quality ink for the print instead of the smooth grey print found on the real one.
  4. Also, check whether the battery light is blinking when charging. The real Xiaomi power bank light stays on while charging, which should help you to identify any clones. Moreover, if you power bank starts charging devices without you having to press the power button, then your power bank is a fake.

While its not that hard to spot the real Xiaomi power bank from a fake one, you don’t have to go through all this as we will be giving out one of these to a lucky reader.
