Meizu MX5 Review

Score: 64.1 / 100

Meizu MX5 is a high-end cellphone released in 2015, including a very powerful Octa-Core processing unit clocking at 2.2 gigahertz, a huge 5.5-inches screen, a 20.7 MP back-facing camera and a 5 megapixels front camera.

Meizu has made a really good design job making this phone weight only 5.26 ounces. Talking about its construction materials, this phone is majorly created with Metal . Meizu is offering the Meizu MX5 in a wide range of color options, black, gold, gray and white. This phone is a very compact phone, considering it packs a 5.5" screen and it's only 5.9" long. This cellphone is extremely thin and stilized, being just 0.3" thick.

Meizu packed this phone with an awesome 5.5-inches display, and a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (Full HD), which makes everything look brightful and colorful.

Meizu decided to power this phone with an extremely fast Octa-Core processor clocking at 2200 MHz, packed into a MediaTek Helio X10 MT6795 chip with a huge 3 GB RAM memory. This cellphone comes with a 64 GB large internal storage memory and whereas it doesn't count with an SD memory slot, it it is more than enough to store hundreds of apps without thinking about running out of space.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 20.7 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 5 MP front facing camera. this cellphone's back facing camera lens has a maximum f/2.2 aperture so it can shoot clear pictures even in poor lighting situations. The Meizu MX5 can also film videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 100 fps.

The Meizu MX5 features WiFi connection (although it can't share it with other devices acting as a hotspot), 4G (LTE) fast internet connection and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSPA technologies. This phone has 2 Nano SIM cards so it is able to work with two different phone numbers in the same cellphone.

The Meizu MX5 also comes with a few nice characteristics like Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth phones, computers and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Meizu MX5 counts with a 3150 mAh big Li - Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for several hours without charging it. An issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to last shorter, though having 3150 mAh you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

No matter if you are looking for a work device, love photography, want a gaming device or are looking for a social cellphone, you will probably love this phone.
