Most often, Meizu products are compared with fellow countryman Xiaomi. Both companies quickly gained momentum and gathered a huge army of fans. And, of course, disputes between these armies will never subside, whose idol is better.We will not take the side of one or another manufacturer, but simply collect the pros and cons of each of them in the table.
pros | Minuses | |
Meizu | + Design. Budget models look slightly better than competitors in the same price range + Sales start on a larger scale, and therefore it is easier to buy a new product at the start of sales + Great sound through headphones. Flagship smartphones are equipped with a DAC, which provides excellent sound. + Better image quality in the budget and mid-range classes + Proprietary mTouch button that combines a fingerprint scanner, physical and touch keys | - Chipsets from MediaTek and Unisoc. Meizu's top smartphones are equipped with processors from Qualcomm, but the initial class is built on mediocre MediaTek and Spreadtrum SoC models. - Similar models are slightly more expensive than Xiaomi - Issues with firmware updates and support. Meizu releases long-playing smartphones, but practically does not update them. The exception is models released for the Chinese market. |
Xiaomi | + Lower prices, better price/performance ratio + Own ecosystem. Xiaomi has a huge number of other smart devices, and they work especially well with their smartphones. + Powerful stuffing + The presence of an infrared port in almost all models | - A large number of suppliers of components, which is why the quality is a little "dancing" - A large number of flaws in the OS (for example, the well-known problem of not receiving notifications) |
Both companies have successful and failed smartphones, as well as branded chips and famous flaws. As usual, the choice depends more on the personal preferences of the buyer.

A simple, but at the same time quite functional budget smartphone from Meizu. Inexpensive gadget designed specifically for novice users as well as those who need a reliable and long-playing workhorse. The gadget keeps the battery perfectly, does not overheat when multitasking. In addition, the phone has a good stock of built-in memory: 32 GB is enough for standard applications and file storage. 3 GB of RAM is, of course, a rare occurrence in ultra-state employees. But do not flatter yourself: due to a weak processor, such a volume of RAM is practically useless here. RAM constantly unloads background applications, in addition, some users experience periodic slowdowns in the phone.
- Good amount of memory for an ultra-budgetary
- Display with normal color reproduction
- Dedicated microSD slot
- Weak processor
- Periodically slows down when turned on / in applications

A thin, stylish smartphone from Meizu with a lot of positive reviews.

There is also an mTouch button, which replaces the usual 3 android buttons. The gadget is not in vain considered one of the best in the budget segment: it perfectly combines an affordable price and high build quality.

Although Meizu 16 is considered one of the best smartphones in the line, it still has obvious problems with the shell.

But for this, you will have to install GCam on the device, otherwise the photos at night will be obtained with noise.

In terms of performance and memory capacity, this gadget, of course, lags far behind other devices of the brand, but it was also created for a narrow circle of users.

And what great photos it takes: the device can compete even with camera phones of 2019-2020. True, this is where the advantages of the model end.
