Meizu launched the Meizu M5 around November last year in China and they added the M5 Note to the series in December. The Meizu M5s is also expected any moment from now but that isn’t the news. The latest news regarding the two Meizu smartphones is that they may soon be available in other countries outside of China.

The M5 and M5 Note were spotted recently on Postel in Indonesia which is the country’s telecoms regulator just like US FCC and China’s TENAA. The listing on the Indonesian regulatory agency’s website showed the device has been certified and that seems to have been done yesterday. However, there is no other information as to when the devices will be launched in Indonesia or any other country and the price the device will carry. Suffice it to say that the M5 Note starts at 899 yuan ($130), while the M5 starts at 699 yuan (around $100) in China and those prices may not hold water, considering the costs of shipping, tax, and other stuff will have to be included in the mix.

It is worthy of note that the international version of the Meizu M5 will launch running on Android-based FlymeOS as against the YunOS which the Chinese edition featured.

The Meizu M5 Note went official today and true to the words of Meizu’s VP, the device was a real beauty. The M5 Note came in both black and white variants and regardless of your preferred choice, both color variants are sleek and beautiful.

As usual, hands on images of the device are available for your delight, courtesy of the guys at sina.com.cn and PCPOP.com. The images show both the white and black color variants fresh out of their boxes. Indeed we’re not really too enthusiastic about the design because they are just custom Meizu designs with all features in their usual places. There is the oblong home screen button just under the display and sadly, you still see the black borders at the edges of the display screen. Well if you get irritated by that, then you can opt for the black variant which does a better job of hiding the borders.

What the Meizu M5 Note lacks in design, it made up in the specs and price tags. The device packs an Helio p10 chip and two different RAM versions of 3GB and 4GB respectively. There are three storage versions as well, ranging from 16GB, 32GB to 64GB. All three storage versions can be expanded. The device sports a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera and a 4000mAh built-in battery. There is also full network support on the device and providing the interface is Meizu’s Flyme 6 OS.

As for the prices the 3GB + 16GB version starts at 899 Yuan, the 3GB +32GB version comes in at 999 Yuan, while the 4GB + 64GB version starts at 1499 Yuan. The M5 note will go on sale from November 8. Meanwghile, check out more unboxing images of the Meizu M5 Note from down below.

The Meizu X is expected to launch on November 30, yet we haven’t seen much leak about the device as we have done for the M5 Note. Again, the Meizu M5 Note has appeared on China’s Telecom Regulatory agency (TENAA) where it has been certified. The device has already been revealed to launch on December 6 in China.

According to the TENAA data, the M5 Note features a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1080 pixels. The device comes weighing 175g and has a dimension of 153.6 x 75.8 x 8.15 mm. The device is also listed as cramming a large 4,000mAh battery under its hood.

Further, the Meizu M5 Note is listed as packing an Octa-core 1.8GHz processor which has been earlier revealed to be an Helio P10 chip. The device features 3 different memory versions which include a 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM, and 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM. All three versions have room for expansion via a microSD card. There is also a 13MP rear and 5MP selfie shooter onboard.

Turns out the Meizu product launch schedule which was leaked towards the end of last week was correct about the M5 Note launching in December. The Meizu M5 Note launch has officially been teased to hold on December 6. The teaser also features the real image of the device.

The Meizu M5 Note was earlier rumored to launch alongside the Meizu X which would go official on November 30. That has, however, been put to rest with the release of this latestinvitation by Meizu. The invitation also reveals that the Meizu M3 Note has hit 20 million units produced since inception and that the M5 Note launch would signal the end of production.

As for the expected specs of the device, earlier appearance on AnTuTu has given us a glimpse of that. According to the AnTuTu records, the M5 Note would launch sporting a 1080 pixels display resolution which is thought to be a 5.5-inch screen. The device will also feature a MediaTek Helio P20 chipset along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The device packs a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera as well as run on Android Marshmallow 6.0 from the go.

The Meizu M5 Note is rumored to launch with an 899 yuan ($130) price tag. We are not sure about that but if it turns out to be true, that would be amazing.

A leaked product launch schedule for 2016 said to be that of Meizu has revealed that the expected Meizu M5 Note won’t drop until sometime in December. Images of the schedule surfaced on Weibo and they specifically featured products launched in the past months in their correct order including the upcoming Meizu X. Meizu has been habitually releasing smartphones almost every month this year so its no surprise if actually there is a time-table.

The Meizu M5 Note has featured in several leaks and appeared on benchmarks. The device was thought to launch alongside the Meizu X on November 30 but that isn’t likely going to happen. The device may now be launched in December, if the schedule is to be believed. Although no specific date is ascribed to the launch, it may likely be launched before the 12.12 sales. Unfortunately, there is no indication that we’d be seeing a Meizu tablet anytime this year.

As a recap, the M5 Note would come sporting a 5.5-inch 1080pixels display, packing a MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755M) processor along with the Mali-T860 GPU. The processor is supported by 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB of internal storage. The device is also listed as running Android Marshmallow 6.0 out-of-the-box. The M5 Note will also sport a 13MP rear camera as well as a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies.

Meizu has sent out invitations to a new press conference holding on November 30 at the Beijing Performing Arts Center in China. The press invite didn’t specifically indicate the launch of a particular phone model but contained the caption “Make Helio Great Again”, a term that suggests a new model equipped with a Mediatek Helio chip is on the way.

Meizu’s current line of smartphones are basically MediaTek powered with exception of the Exynos 7420 sporting Meizu Pro 5, so it becomes confusing why the company chose this caption. Again, the caption may indicate the coming of the M5 Note which had featured in several leaks of late. The device first appeared on GeekBench before it was spotted on China’s 3C website, thereafter it appeared on AnTuTu Benchmark.

It is instructive to note that the Meizu M5 Note packs a MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755M) chipset, according to the benchmark data. Further, the device features a 1080 pixels resolution on the display which may likely be 5.5 inches in size (cannot be less than the M5’s 5.2-inch display). The device is also listed as coming along with the Mali-T860 GPU, supported by 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB of internal storage. The device is also listed as running Android Marshmallow 6.0 out-of-the-box. The M5 Note isn’t programmed to disappoint on the camera end, sporting 13MP rear camera as well as a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies.

Less than 48 hours after the Meizu M5 Note was spotted on Geekbench thus revealing some of its spec, the device has again appeared on popular benchmark website AnTuTu. The AnTuTu listing throws more light on the specifications the M5 Note would feature, at least some more light.

According to the AnTuTu listing, the Meizu M5 Note features a 080 pixels display which may likely be 5.5 inches in size (cannot be less than the M5’s 5.2-inch display). The device is also listed as packing a MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755M) processor, along with the Mali-T860 GPU, supported by 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB of internal storage. The device is also listed as running Android Marshmallow 6.0 out-of-the-box.

The M5 Note isn’t programmed to disappoint on the camera end, sporting 13MP rear camera as well as a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies. The Meizu M5 Note is said to have skipped bearing the M4 Note which ordinarily it should, considering that the last Note Meizu released was the M3 Note (pictured). This is because of the Chinese superstitious belief which associates the number 4 with bad luck.

We can expect the device any time before the 12.12 sales period which Meizu may have been targeting with the device. We look forward to seeing the first render of the M5 Note, we’re sure that would be available soon.

Not long after Meizu went official with the Meizu M5, another device going by the name Meizu M5 Note has been spotted on benchmark site GeekBench, where it went through some testing, along the line giving us a peek at some of its specs. The device seems to be a premium version of the M5 which launched with a 5.2-inch 720 pixels display and powered by a MediaTek MT6750 chip.

According to the GeekBench data, the Meizu M5 Note features the MediaTek Helio P10 processor (MT6755) inside it. The processor which is an Octa-core CPU ran at a clock speed of 1GHz, perhaps for the test. The device is also listed as having 3GB of RAM, a tad higher than the 2GB RAM on the M5 and running Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. On the result bench, the Meizu M5 Note polled a score of 687 points on the single-core test and 2481 points on the multi-core test.

In another related development, a device suspected to be the M5 Note has also been revealed to have received 3C (CCC) certification in China. The device is listed as M682 and this is deduced to be the M5 Note giving the fact that the M3 Note was listed with the model number M681. The CCC certificate is required on all devices that is imported, used or sold in the Chinese market and this latest listing could be an indication that the device will likely launch soon.
