Meizu M8 has been finally released in China with the following finalized specifications:
3.4" touchscreen display;
Windows CE 6.0;
3.2Mpix camera
It's definitely not a competitor to the iPhone, given its gimped specs (no Wi-Fi and 3G) and an extra long delay in the release. Hopefully the non-Chinese version will have more goodies to offer.
Apparently, this is the first English-language review of the Meizu M8 from MP4 Nation. Overall, the author of the review wasn't pleased with the phone's performance regarding video playback, saying that even "cheap MP4 players can do a better job". The interface on the other hand turned out to be quite decent.
He promised more videos in the near future, but in the meantime, check out the one below.
“Let's bear witness together, to the great moment of MEIZU formally entering the big stage of mobile phone industry!” - that's how Meizu decided to mark the launch of its WinCE-based iPhone-clone M8. It should be released sometime in March in China, with other markets to follow up shortly.
The phone runs v0.9.0.1 firmware complete with working copy and paste, Outlook calendar synchronization, and a "full backup system.
We're glad to inform you that Meizu’s (still-)highly-anticipated M8 will begin shipping between December 8th and 10th. The problem is that Meizu didn't obtain all the necessary licenses to start selling the phone in China, and the phones will remain "Demo units (not for sale)” until the manufacturer gets a license.
And we thought we'd never see it live... It's been more than a year since we first heard about it. And now it's almost here! The Meizu M8 is alive!
China’s PConline got an M8 unit from Meizu for a review, and I must say at first glance it does look like the iPhone. Something tells me the U.S. market is closed for this device by default...
Apparently, Meizu M8's release is around the corner now as the company has suddenly revamped its website and put the M8 on display. Unfortunately, there's no English version of the site just yet, but we hope to find out more in the nearest future.
Meanwhile, you can play with this official flash demo showing off the M8's interface.
How much longer this thing will be hiding? We’ve seen so many UI screenshots of the mythical MeizuM8 that we'd begun to doubd the posibility of its actual release. Some say the release date is scheduled for December, but take this with a large dose of salt.
Meanwhile, here's yet another set of photos of the M8's interface. Are you
It looks like Meizu will be releasing its M8 this year after all.
Taiwan-based retailer Geek IT Stores announced that it's signed up as a distribution partner. The manufacturer's sales head has also mentioned that the handset will be released in China this December, followed by India shortly after.
The Indian pricing will range between Rs. 18,000 and Rs.
