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 was released towards the end of last year. The all-metal phone with a 5.5-inch FHD display, 3GB of RAM and a Helio P10 processor is available in different storage variants with pricing starting at ¥899 ($130 ) and moving up ¥1499 ($218). Barely a month later and the prices are no longer the same.

If you head to Meizu’s official website, you will notice that there has been a price increase for all the M5 Note models. The 3GB + 16GB model priced at ¥899 ($130) now sells for ¥999 ($144) and the 3GB + 32GB version selling for ¥999 before is now ¥1099 ($158). However the 3GB + 64GB variant remains priced at ¥1499 ($248).

A customer who reached out to Meizu’s customer service to ask why there is a price increase was told that the increase is due to changes in market conditions caused by dollar fluctuations and has resulted in an increase in the cost of materials.

The price increase is expected to affect other brands and spread to other products other than phones this year. Just last week Meizu increased the price of their newly released TV box.

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.

In the space of one week, Meizu will be holding two press conferences and would in the long run release up to three or more devices. The Chinese tech giant took the wraps off the Meizu X and Pro 6 Plus earlier this week, while the M5 Note is expected next week perhaps along with the rumored Meizu H1 smartband.

The Meizu M5 Note is rumored to come in two versions, M5 Note and M5 Note Metal and their prices have been leaked as well. While the M5 Note is said to be priced around 999 Yuan, the M5 Note Metal comes in at around 1,099 Yuan.

The earlier rumored price tags may be incorrect, though, as the M5 Note has been spotted listed on popular Chinese e-commerce website Jingdong (JD.com) with a price tag of 1,099 Yuan (around $159.52). The listing also detailed that the device would go on sale on December 8. This Jingdong-listed price is also not certain as the web page also contains a clause that the release price would take precedence over this one.

Yesterday, Meizu released some teasers which announced the launch of the M5 Note would take place on December 6. The Meizu M5 Note takes over from the M3 Note and it is just apt that the teasers contained the M3 Note images with the date of the launch and other information written on the back of the device.

Now more details have emerged that the M5 Note would have two versions aside the three different storage sizes revealed on TENAA. There’s likely another model, the Meizu M5 Metal (Remember the Meizu M3 Metal from last year — this could be its successor!). These details were contained in a leaked document with the price list said to be for the expected devices. According to the document, the Meizu M5 Note carries a price tag of 999 Yuan ($145) for the 16GB version while the M5 Metal 16GB storage version comes in at a slightly higher 1099 Yuan ($159).

As a reminder, the Meizu M5 Note features a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1080 pixels. The device comes weighing 175g, has a dimension of 153.6 x 75.8 x 8.15 mm and cram a large 4,000mAh battery under its hood. The device packs an Octa-core 1.8GHz 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.

Renders of the Meizu M5 Note have been missing in action all these while. This may be unconnected to the fact that Meizu has put up a world-class, quality design on the device as hinted on Weibo by Meizu’s CEO. We look forward to seeing the real images of the M5 Note soon, we won’t mind a couple of leaked images before the launch date.

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.
