Meizu MX4 Review

16 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 59.4 / 100

Meizu MX4 is a mid-end cellphone, having a big 5.4-inches display, a high speed Octa-Core processor (it's actually a Quad-Core at 2200 megahertz and an additional Quad-Core running at 1.7 gigahertz), and 2 cameras, a 20.7 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this phone offers to us.

The Meizu MX4 is just 0.35" thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium. The Meizu MX4 is a very compact phone, considering it has a 5.4" display and it's just 5.67" long and 2.96 inches wide. This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone like this. The Meizu MX4 is sold in three color options, gray, white and gold.

Meizu sells the Meizu MX4 with a MediaTek MT6595 chip, packing a very powerful Octa-Core processing unit (it's actually a Quad-Core ticking at 2200 MHz and an additional Quad-Core ticking at 1700 megahertz) with a great 2 GB of RAM memory. A nice point of this cellphone is its quite big 16 GB internal memory and while it doesn't count with an external SD slot, it should be enough to store a couple hundred apps, but it probably wouldn't be enough if you are fan of the largest games currently available or taking tons of pictures and videos.

The Meizu MX4 features two cameras, a 20.7 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. Its back facing camera lens has a F2.2 aperture so it can take sharp photographs even in poorly lit environments. It is also able to shoot videos up to 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 frames per second. This camera also features multiple valuable features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

Meizu packed this cellphone with a incredible 5.4" screen, and a resolution of 1920 x 1152 , which makes everything look amazing. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The Meizu MX4 features wi-fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless modem or router) and 3G fast connection type, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Meizu MX4 uses a Micro SIM card for GSM services.

The Meizu MX4 also comes with a few interesting features like Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Meizu MX4 uses an amazing 3100 mAh non-removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. An issue to take into account is that the Meizu MX4's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts losing capacity, while with so much capacity you will probably buy a new device before it becomes an issue.

This phone is not very convinient considering it is offerred for $ 210, and some similar phones are sold for much less than that. The Meizu MX4 is the right one for you no matter if you will use this cellphone for gaming, will use it as a social cellphone or you love taking pictures.
