Meizu’s M1 Note is a cheap copy of iPhone 5c

Chinese smartphone makers are quite notorious for copying designs of big companies, but lately they are putting more effort in creating original designs. However, it seems Meizu still likes to play the old fashioned way. The company’s new phone Meizu M1 Note is identical to iPhone 5c and also comes in the same colors as iPhone 5c including pink, green, yellow, white and blue. It is Meizu’s cheapest phone yet with a price tag of CN¥999 (about $160). It is directly competing against same entry level phones by Huawei and Xiaomi. The phone is actually quite good value for its astounding price. It’s a Dual-SIM phone featuring a 5.5-inch IGZO display with a good 1080p resolution, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, a 13-megapixel rear camera with dual-tone flash, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera and a beefy 3,140 mAh battery. It's  being powered by MediaTek's MT6752 chipset with an octa-core (Cortex-A53 1.7GHz x 8), 64-bit ready processor, a Mali T760 MP2 GPU and 2GB of RAM. The M1 Note runs on Meizu's completely customized Flyme 4.1, based on Android 4.4.4.

Although, the phone is quite good, but still it lacks MicroSD expansion and a fingerprint reader. However, it should not make users complain as for such low price this kind of drawback is acceptable. The phone will be available in Chinese market soon unless Apple does something about stealing its design.
