Meizu Archives - Pinoy Smartphone

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.

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).

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.

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.

As you can see on the comment of the Lazada user or their feedback, they were astonished with the smartphone and its functionalities. However, their negative comment strictly revolved around the package and the way it was delivered.

As per him, the phone was handled without care:

Punit2x at may butas yung Lazada Plastic parang sumabit sa matutulis na bagay at medyu lumuwag ang box ng phone. Kahit may bubble wrap ang box, unsteady na yung phone sa loob.

He said that the phone was not handled correctly. There were holes in the plastic bag and the phone seemed unsteady even if it has bubble wrap inside.
