Chinese phone maker Meizu has officially launched the Meizu M8 Note in China. Meizu is renowned for the topnotch and innovative design of its smartphones. So the sleek and beautiful design of the M8 Note isn’t much of a surprise. The device also comes with a decent price tag that reflects its hardware setup.

Meizu M8 Note is a premium budget phone that is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 632 chipset which is an upgrade over the popular Snapdragon 625 chipset. The chipset is paired with 4GB of RAM while there is 64GB of internal storage onboard. Surprisingly, the M8 Note only comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage but we expect Meizu to throw in more versions in due course.

The M8 Note presents with a huge 6.15-inch In-cell LCD display with an FHD+ resolution of 2160x1080pixels. The display comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The device packs a 12MP+5MP dual camera setup at the rear with the sensors aligned vertically at the middle. The camera arrangement looks similar to that of the Meizu 16X but in this case, the LED flash is at the top while at the bottom there is a fingerprint sensor. Meizu shared some camera samples captured by the M8 Note’s rear camera and they are quite impressive. We can’t say for sure if the photos weren’t enhanced.

As for the price, the Meizu M8 Note is priced at 1298 yuan ($187).  The device is presently on reservation on Meizu official website, Meizu Tmall official flagship store, Jingdong, Suning Tesco and offline Meizu store. It will go on sale officially on November 1 at 00:00.

Just after announcing the Meizu M8 Note launch at the Beijing Performing Arts Center on October 25, now Meizu has suddenly canceled the event. Meizu has cited some “site reasons” behind the cancellation of the launch event. The event site, Beijing Performing Arts center has some issues which led to the cancellation of the event.  Well, it seems quite absurd as many OEMs launch their devices at the same venue and has never met with these issues.

Well, whatever the actual reason is, it will remain under wraps as no one is going to give an explanation about it. So, for now, users can stick with the online broadcast at 19:30 Beijing Time (11:30 AM GMT) on October 25th. We will share the live streaming details on the day of Meizu M8 Note launch.

As far as the specs are concerned, Meizu M8 Note is touted as the “national camera phone” by the company. It will be interesting to know, how Meizu M8 Note camera stands against its competitors. As per the rumors, it will host the same dual camera module as like of Galaxy S7  featuring 1.4 μm large photosensitive pixels. There will be a 12 megapixel + 5-megapixel dual shooter and f/1.9 large aperture. While on the front an 8-megapixel shooter will take place for selfies.

Additionally, there will be a 5.7-inch display with the resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels having an aspect ratio of 18:9. It will be powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor which we think might be the Helio P60. As of now only 4GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage variant details are available. The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a 3,000mAh battery. It is expected to retail at the price of 1000-1500 yuan (~$144-$216).

So, let’s wait and watch for the official launch on October 25.
