June 27, 2019 By psmp Leave a Comment

Meizu is another brand that is really under rated and not much people know about. They have been here in the Philippines for roughly around a year or two and has lots of devices for sale in Lazada and other physical stores. If you do plan to buy a new entry-mid ranged type of phone at a very affordable price, well I think the Meizu M8 Lite might be the best buy for you. Having 3GBs of RAM and 32GBs of internal storage, this phone is really a bang for the buck.

Looking at the internals of the phone and considering the price it’s at, it’s definitely a must buy if you’re on a budget or if you are looking to buy your kids a phone. Now let’s talk about the specs a little deeper to see what the phone can offer.

Display

So let’s first talk about the display of the phone. The phone is at 5.7 inch at an 18:9 aspect ratio and 282 pixels per inch (ppi). This design type was really famous at the start of 2018 and is still acceptable till now in terms of smartphone design. It maximizes the screen that you can use on the phone considering the aspect ratio and having a ppi of 282 at a screen size of 5.7 makes the color of the screen very good to look at. There are no backlight bleeding visible looking at the sides of the screen and viewing angles are pretty good to say the least. So that’s a plus for us.

If you plan to use the phone outside though, your eyes might have a little bit of trouble looking at the screen in direct sunlight since even putting the brightness at 100% sometimes is not enough. But if you are indoors or under a shade, everything should be visible at around 80% to 90% brightness.

Camera

At the price the phone is at, we’d say the camera isn’t all that bad. The main camera sports a 13MP shooter at an aperture of f/2.2. It takes very good pictures outside and in good lighting condition. Indoors especially in low light, noises are visible in the photos but they are still good enough to satisfy most users.

The front camera is a 5 MP shooter and is a weak point of the phone. Pictures taken by the selfie camera is decent although for our taste, it feels under saturated and colors are not vibrant enough. It has a bluish-green hue to it but again, were talking about a phone sub 5k so we can’t really complain much.

Body Material

The phone is made of polycarbonate plastic with a matte finishing at the back of the phone giving the phone a premium look. Although it’s plastic, it’s not really slippery and I like the grip on the device.

You still have the fingerprint sensor on the back of the device. Buttons on the right side would be the power and volume rockers.

Battery

The phone is equipped with a 3200Mah battery which should be enough to last most users for a complete day. Since it only has an HD screen, battery consumption shouldn’t be that high and FlyMe seems to be optimized good enough to make the phone maximize its battery capacity.

One downside though is that the M8 Lite is not equipped with fast charging, so it takes approximately around two hours to two and a half to fully charge the phone.

Performance

The phone has a Mediatek MT6739 processor. This is an entry level processor which was released around the end of 2017. It has 3GBs of ram so multitasking should be okay but if you plan to run heavy applications at the same time, it’s going to be the processor that would be having the trouble of keeping them in the background.

The MT6739 is only a quad core processor so handling heavy apps or games would take a toll both on the performance and battery of the phone. Playing MOBAs like Arena of Valor is smooth enough although it should be set to lowest graphics to avoid any stuttering in the frame rate of the game and avoid overheating the phone. If you plan FPS games like PUBG, expect some hiccups here and there even if it’s already at the lowest setting (30fps).

Meizu M8 Lite Reviews

If you go over to Lazada and check the reviews of those who bought the phone, it seems like most of them are really happy with it. Rated at 4.5 stars with 37 ratings, it seems like the phone is definitely a good buy. Most of them are happy with the performance they get and they even said that battery optimization on the phone is really great for them. Take a look at some of their reviews below.

Feedback from Oliver 2

One Lazada happy and satisfied customer, Oliver 2, said that the phone is in its best condition when it arrived. The person who delivered the device even waited for me to open the item to ensure that everything is in place.

Feedback from Cristina F

Another Lazada customer, who was very much satisfied said that the phone is so thin that it looked so elegant. She even mentioned that the phone is perfect for playing Mobile Legends because it’s perfect for its scale.

As with what we mentioned, most of the cons on the phone comes from the processor they have given it.

Final Thoughts:

For those looking to buy a backup phone or if you are in a tight budget, this is for you. It gives you everything that you need in a smartphone and runs well. But if you have an extra P2,000 or P3,000, I suggest to consider getting the RealMe 3, Redmi Note 7 or Infinix Hot S4.

Are you looking for a smartphone that is fit for everyone’s budget? Are you looking for a high-quality and affordable smartphone? Try the Meizu M8 Lite and see for yourself!

May 18, 2019 By psmp Leave a Comment

RealMe if you aren’t aware is a sub brand of Oppo using the same OS that they promote. Just recently they release a new phone, the RealMe 3, which is an absolute beast for the price you can get it at, Php 6990. It’s not yet available in physical stores but you can buy the phone at Shopee and it’s almost at par with Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7. Let’s take a look at the specification the RealMe 3 has.

Looking at the info given above, the phone is balanced in almost all aspects. From the processor to the amount of RAM given, it should be enough for almost all smartphone users.

Now, let’s dive in and take a look more at what the device takes pride on.

Read: Best New Smartphones Under P10, 000 You can Buy in the Philippines

Display

The only aspect of this device which is the only downside is the screen. It’s not that bad but not the best for its segment. The RealMe 3 has an HD+ display having the dew drop notch with makes it look really premium. If you check the display, colors are very vibrant and no bleeding are seen on the phone’s edges.

Since it’s only HD+, viewing the phone under direct sunlight can be a bit troublesome even at 100% brightness. The only thing good about having the HD display is that when you launch applications, it’s faster since less pixels and resolution are needed by the apps.

Camera

Being a sub brand of Oppo means carrying what they’re most known for, their phone’s camera and this one is no different. Although the 13MP is regularly seen on most phone on the midrange segment, the RealMe 3 has one of the best shooters perhaps because of the good software it has coupled with the hardware. The Camera App has lots of features to start with, from Nightmode (Nightscape), Hybrid HDR for both lens, Chroma Boost and Portrait Mode. Bokeh shots looks really great and accurate with what you’re taking. Pictures taken show vibrant color but in dark areas, expect noises in the image.

Read: Honor 10 Lite User and In-Depth Review: Huawei Nova 3i’s Little Brother at P8, 990.00

For the front shooter, it also takes excellent photo and unlike other phones that uses color Operating System (OS), this one is not oversaturated and over processed.

Body Material

The phone is made of plastic, but one thing that we like about it is that it doesn’t feel cheap at all. The gradient back is really nice and gives off the premium look of the phone. The phone is sleek in terms of thickness.

If you look at the right side of the device, you’ll see the power button and volume rockers can be seen on the left side. Although we are used to seeing both on only one end, the placement is not really bad and can easily reached even if you’re using only one hand to operate the phone.

Battery

Sporting a 4230mah battery and good OS optimization, this one should last most users for a complete day of standard usage. If you use the phone mainly for browsing the net or watching youtube videos, it can last roughly around 8 hours of continued use. One thing that helps save battery is the HD screen. Yes, resolution is lower but with lower pixels comes with lower battery consumption.

It’s also capable of 5V2A fast charging so charging up the phone from zero to a hundred should take roughly around an hour and forty five to two hours. That already quite fast compare to phones that are only capable of 1A.

Performance

This is where the Realme 3 shines. The phone is equipped with a Mediatek Helio P60 processor clocked at 2.0 ghz for all of its core. Mediatek in the past has been known for good performance at the cost of overheating and slowing down after prolonged continued use but this isn’t the case anymore especially for the Realme 3. The processor is 12nm in size meaning that it uses less power and doesn’t overheat too much. Multitasking shouldn’t be a problem for the phone and gaming should be smooth for most of the casual games available.

For MOBAs like Mobile Legends, it can run at the highest setting with high frame rate on with little to no frame drops. For games like PUBG though, you might consider putting the settings to roughly around medium since this is a heavy game both CPU and GPU wise. Performance is almost at par with Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7.

Review from marcguadiz

Marcguadiz, one Shopee user, expressed his satisfaction on the fact that he was able to get the phone at a lower price.

Read: Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 Available for P9, 690.00 in Shopee

RealMe currently only has an official store via Shopee as of this time. If you head over to the product page, you’ll see that this phone has a 4.9 out of 5 rating given by 1668 people. This is only a proof of how satisfied people are with the phone and its price. Take a look at some of the reviews below:

Final thoughts

The phone is a beast overall. Processor is similar with the Oppo F9 but a huge difference in terms of pricing. If you have extra money, you could opt-in for the 3/64gb version for just P7, 990.

Also, if you are thinking whether to buy this one or the RedMi Note 7, the main thing that you should think about is whether you are a heavy gamer or not.

If you are a casual user and only plays game from time to time, go with the RealMe 3. It uses less battery and plays games smoothly. For those who prioritizes gaming, go with the RedMi Note 7. It has a much better processor which can handle heavy games much better.

Key features of the Meizu M6S

Battery

A small smartphone with a lightweight body; it’s very shocking to have a battery that last as long as an iPhone. With a 3, 000mAh battery capacity, you’re sure that this phone can be used all day long.

For gaming purposes, however, it might not be as long as you’re expecting. Its battery is not designed to last that long with many functionalities being used at the same time.

But, if you’ll be using it for phone purposes like regular calling, texting, light browsing and light gaming, then you’re up for a treat.

Display and Design

The Meizu M6S has a fairly standard design and display. Its light weight allows user to operate it on one hand only and the casing is soft and sturdy. It’s more premium and sophisticated-looking than most smartphones in the same category and price range.

Its 18:9 aspect ratio allows the metallic body to have crisp detail and body. The side bezels are absent while the top and bottom bezels are still present. With a wide-screen and high-quality display, it’s possible to fit a larger display in the smartphone while still having a good quality screen and display.

The fingerprint sensor is located at the side like in most Sony smartphones and also has a pressure sensor which can be seen underneath. This allows the smartphone to have the following functionalities:

Back button when touched underneath;
Home button when swiped up; and
Multitask window which replaces the traditional and older capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Hardware and Software

This is actually one of the first Meizu phones to have a Samsung Exynos processor. The Meizu M6S is equipped with an Exynos 7872 processor with a powerful Soc with Two (2) high-performance cores which run at 2.0GHz while other four (4) cores conserves battery power.

Camera

Meizu is quiet with the Meizu M6S’ camera. This smartphone comes with a 16MP rear camera with a dual LED flash. In addition to that, it also boasts with an 8MP front “selfie” camera.

Storage

Its internal storage has a 32GB capacity and has an expandable memory via micro SD card up to 128 GB. The bloatware is not that much, although you can uninstall some of the applications and programs you won’t be using.

Battery

The battery is perfect for gaming and for usage. With its 4, 300 mAh capacity, you can be sure that the battery is something you can count on. According to reports, it can withstand almost 4 hours of gaming and not lose 20% of the battery percentage. It’s good for medium to heavy gaming but the quality and the game flow might not be the best.

Performance

Since its processor is not that great, doing light to medium gaming is a very good feature of the Infinix Note 4. According to one Infinix Note 4 review, games that have high graphics requirements might cause you to experience lag and frame drop issues. However, games that have basic to medium graphics are perfect.

Social media usage is also a good factor in this. Since social media does not necessarily require high-quality requirements for usage, you can do social networking and social media almost 100% of the time. With its octa-core processor, you can open applications without the fear of the apps freezing and crashing.

Currently, smartphones are a big hit in our society. Not only does it provide limitless capabilities in accessing the internet, it can also display social status. In our time, there are a lot of smartphones out in the market; they can be displayed in malls, they can be offered online. However, without reviews and feedback to the products, it can be difficult to determine whether or not a certain product is heavy-duty or if it’s legitimate. Lazada, one of the well-known e-commerce retailers here in our country, offer exquisite and unique services. They also offer smartphones. The advantage of purchasing through the site is that they can give you an idea on your purchase through shoppers’ Lazada phone reviews.

A lot of online transactions transpire in Lazada every hour. As a matter of fact, many people resort to it rather than going in-store. Imagine the relief and the advantage of just waiting for it to be delivered right in front of your doorstep.

What type of phones can I purchase through Lazada?

There’s a vast range of smartphones that they offer. Along with their products and services, people can gauge whether or not a certain product is for them through Lazada phone reviews. These reviews are from people who:

Are planning to purchase the said item;
From people who got the item;
From people who has experience in ordering from the seller of the product

Smartphones vary; there are different brands you can choose from. However, smartphone brands that are most sold and bought in the e-commerce site are:

LG
ASUS
Cherry Mobile
Huawei
XiaoMi
Sony
DOOGEE

Although there are sellers who try to negotiate Samsung phones, Samsung fans can’t actually rely on the fact that their brand is being sold through an e-commerce website. For the other phones, on the other hand, they’re not that complex and expensive as Samsung phones. In addition, they also offer Apple products and phones. Same with Samsung though, people would rather go to an Apple store to have a look on an item rather than buying it from an anonymous person online.

Can we rely on Lazada phone reviews in purchasing a phone?

A big YES! In our time, people look at what the reviews and feedback are before actually purchasing a specific product. This is for them to see whether or not certain sellers and products are:

If the seller is a fraud
Whether or not the product is true; and
To know more information on how the certain smartphone is performing

Millions of Filipinos do transactions every single day. Moreover, they leave feedback and reviews on the product to help fellow Filipinos in choosing what they like.

Are there negative reviews?

Of course, there are negative reviews on a certain product as well. However, these reviews most of the time talk about how a certain product is performing. Say for example, a smartphone’s battery capacity is just at 2100 mAh, and the review talks about how the smartphone easily dies. Isn’t it obvious? The battery capacity is announced. Therefore, we should already know that the smartphone won’t be very good when it comes to gaming, streaming, and for high bandwidth usage.

I’m interested in looking at Lazada phone reviews, how can I see them?
