Meizu M9

Hello guys,
So I've search the forums and there were no threads about the upcoming Meizu M9, just one or two posts, so I decided to create one...
So despite Meizu halting production of M8 because of Apple, they're preparing us a new unbelievable phone - Meizu M9. And it's running Android!
According to j.mp/cPO92J there are going to be two versions of the phone. One is M9 with 960x640 3.5" display and the other with 1024x640 4" display. Other specs are probably the same: 1GHz Samsung processor, 512MB of RAM and ROM, 5 MP camera, HDMI out.
But the real shocker is the price. Expected price of M9 is... 350$ !. Cheaper than most of Android phones, MUCH MUCH cheaper than the iPhone!
So what do you guys think?
I personally am going for this over the HTC Desire which I'm planning to buy if only someone roots M9. (Hey XDA staff, is there a possibility we would have a forum for M9?)

Well, at least according to reviews, Meizu M8 was much much better than typical chinese iPhone clones costing ~100$.

I still have a Meizu M6 SP mp4 player I bought 3 years ago. It cost less than 120€ at the time, and it still beats in sound quality most mp3/mp4 players out there. So yes, you'll probably get a great device, mass produced (their main target is the Chinese market) without paying for the brand. Since I saw they are doing a android release, with such nice specs and low price, I just can't wait for the final device.

Well, you'll get a reworked UI (they did a very impressive job on Win CE 5 or 6, whatever the latest version is). The music player seems better than the stock Android one, though that's not exactly hard to achieve. You'll get a 1 GHz Cortex A8, IIRC Samsungs' version of the A4. Same resolution as the iPhone 4. So the specs are great, sound quality should be too judging by their previous devices. I was certainly impressed by an early version of the M8, the built quality was pretty good (no Legend or i4, but certainly good enough), the M6 is a great little MP3/MP4 player that I still use all the time).
Big problem will be importing the device and the question when it will actually be available... Meizu has a reputation for pushing back release date after release date (end of December they say, I doubt it).

M9 came out and the phone is really impressive! Any possibility of extracting the FW???

any updates?
hi all,
was just browsing the xda forums to see if anyone started an M9 subforum or anything... as far as i know, the good people at meizume.com are working away at the rooting problem, but they can do with some help from the might of the xda developers community... so, if any of u guys own an m9 or can help in any way, please head on down to the meizume.com M9 modding/rooting forum to check it out. any help will be greatly appreciated!
thanks

nice and cheap

where can we buy it?

I also have a couple M6 DAPs and find their SQ to be among the best there is. The build quality is on par with Zunes and Sandisks. I was going to get a Focus, but if this Meizu pans out for $350, count me in.

Can you post some pics and your experience with it? I visited China in April (study trip) and nearly went to Meizu store to buy one.. In MeizuMe forums people are getting forward with rooting the device. Some have managed to get temporary root access with something similar to JTAG, but it's too complicated for daily use and especially normal people.

where can we buy it?

hi... i am meizu M9 user from Indonesia

HTC One-Serie now 479 euro

HTC One-Serie already on the market in germany from today for 519 euros
edit: price is now 479 euros, new pictures taken wt my device.

yeah i read it too ... those lucky germans
sadly our media markt in austria doesn't sell the htc one series (yet) and all shops list it available post 4.4.12. but 520 is too much anyway. i'd guess in a week or two it's down to 460 or something like that ...

Actually the price is 479€ in Media Markt in Germany (today). I'm getting one this evening .
Too bad they only have the black one, I originally wanted the metallic grey version.

479 is okay. i'd buy it for that right now! also i like the black version much more ... dammit ... it's available on the mediamarkt.de page as "lieferbar" but they don't deliver to austria. our's doesn't even list it ...

got mine today in switzerland for 549Sfr,
which is 456€ - i think this is the first time that something
is cheaper in switzerland then in germany...

Pre-ordered mine for €482 in Belgium. And that's pretty cheap for Belgium lol

I just bought one for 479 Euro in the Media Markt and it's awesome!

maybe some of you lucky bastards want to make a little unboxing video or do some benchmarks/browser speed comparrisons for us miserable poor lads that have to wait yet another week?!

I have to say its pretty decent. What i noticed is that the colours are very strong, maybe a little bit too strong, but its ok.

htc one s
I got mine too this afternoon. I have to say that i had a nokia 5800 before. Compared to the nokia, the one s is a ****ing amazing imba phone. Actually you cant compare them
No lags, everything is running smooth and the display is very nice. The body feels very stable and looks nice (i have the black version)
The sim slot cover is a bit hard to handle in my opinion. Its made of plastics and it feels a bit unstable. Anyway i would say its a very successful phone.
I bought it at Media Markt and it was 479€.

How Do YOU Like This Device?? [I am looking to purchase]

Hello guys,
I am just wondering, how do you guys like this device. I am interested in buying the device (at full price as my T-Mobile contract is not ready for renewal) and was wondering if there are any common complaints / issues to look out for. Thanks so much for helping.
PS: If you have time:
1) How is battery life? (IE, can it last one day heavy usage)?
2) Will this work with full HSDPA on T-Mo USA?
3) Is there a way to toggle the torch to use as a flashlight?
4) Where exaclty would be the best place to buy this phone without contract in USA? OR Will this work with a standard T-Mo SIM card?
5) Would anyone recommend me wait for any other device that is soon to come out or is already out instead of this device?
If anyone could answer just one of the above, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

1. No. Most I get out of heavy use is about 6 or 7 hours.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. I would look on craigslist or Amazon.
5. I would HIGHLY recommend this device. Unless you're ok with waiting for the SGiii, this is the best you can get for T-Mobile right now.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

I use this phone all day streaming, email, xda, general surfing, games and still end up with around 30% battery, pretty good in my book. Physical design, sense and the overall experience is excellent. There are some lemons out there but overall quality is high.
The SGiii offers a few more features in the department of removable storage but overall for the US release these phones are almost on par. (Same dual core CPU)
The most impressive feature is the One S camera. There isn't a phone out there in the world that can touch it, say the One X. I travel so a nice camera is a must.
I would have paid full for price for this phone but I had a ToS change to my contract that helped me convince T-Mobile that they owed me, on top of the issues I had with my G2x.
My wife jumped the apple bandwagon to get one of these phones and she loves it.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

Thanks so much, guys. The only issue I heard a reviewer say was that the screen can, at times, almost look pixelated or distorted. Anyone even notice this or is this issue just an extreme nit-pick? Also, is there any noticeable lines that run across the screen in low lighting setting like the GSii?
EDIT:
One small thing, if anyone bought their phone from website and would like to share the site, please post a link below or PM me. I want to make sure I get the real model and not a banned or stolen model number. Thanks!
AND:
How does this device work without an SD-Card? Do games that require downloading separate files to run (IE The Sims && Xplane) still work?

i just bought the phone from tmobile customer service and i should get it tomorrow. cant wait to play with it. ive pretty much owned every higher end android phone for tmobile and i just sold my sensation 4g for this phone. i really want to play with the s4 lol.

Just thought I would say, I just got mine and it won't charge passed 99%. Just saying.

Pros:
Camera
Excellent battery life
Speed
Design
About negative sides some people mention:
Screen issues - nit-pick
SDCARD - no problems, phone DOES have a card but it is not removable. Admittably, would have been better to have 32gig version, but this one is enough for almost everything except maybe your video collection.
All in all never regretted it, best phone atm.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

my screen has never looked distorted--gorgeous-
go to a store and play with it several times--i got mine at a tmo store
it takes a micro sim, regular ones won't work w/o cutting--not up on that. but you are going to get one anyway

My screen is amazing too, i had a gripe with amoled screens, like on my dads galaxy s, that it just looks weird compared to led screens, but the One S screen looks almost undistinguishable to leds, and luckily im not a pentile hater, so I cant really see the pentile pixelation

remember
HTC ONE S:
Very aggressive CPU here- Krait "Cortex A15" (220 linpack) but so ****ed GPU (Adreno 225)
(why ?
Go to youtube desktop and play 1080P HD video.....oh sorry you CAN'T play)
Galaxy Nexus
I don't feel any power., I feel optimization.
(Omap is sucks, GPU is PowerVR SGX540- this is too old crap, even if overclocked.
youtube test with 1080p HD video is FAILED also)
so only one phone is rocking, or Im sorry only one chipset is good-
it is "EXYNOS"
Regards.

I have gotten 12Hr and 30 Mins of usage (Heavy listening to music updating facebook ect. Pics, vids,) With 40% remaining. And yes to everything else you asked.

One s is the way to go on T-Mobile bro. unless you wanna wait for the galaxy s 3.
For me, I will never get a T-Mobile branded galaxy device because it will not be identical to all other galaxy s3.
So what does that mean? it means the T-Mobile s3 development will not be as good. On the other hand, every one s is the same and development will flourish like the sensation.
And to me Samsung is really getting wack, the s3 whole nature idea and Svoice, s this and s that. sound similar to ithis and ithat
And finnaly. you can't compare sense ui to touch wiz. sense is King of android ui overlays.

Remembered you too--
Yes, it is much better and development is growing now with LeeDroid on board. I thought I wanted a larger screen. But, now I know that would have been a mistake for me anyways. The 10gb free memory after OS and apps may be an issue for some. Not me. Otherwise, excellent phone. NO touchscreen issues, and you will know what I mean--
Ken

So there is ONLY 10 GB free (for **** like music/vids/pics) after the OS and cache partitions?!? That is REALLY cutting it for me, I thought there would be 16GB free. Uhh ohh...

And one more thing, my bad:
Will there be a difference of the global version of this device or the T-Mo specific version and what is that difference? Thanks!

Yea, the memory is only negative, but works for most people. I have a 1.3gb video, pics and a nandroid etc with 4gb left
don't know about any global version atm

Never mind, I was just getting confused between T-Mobile branded version and the stock version. They seem to be exactly the same.

This thing flies and I mean FLIES on cm9 alpha 6. Whoooo mate

To answer your question: not interesting enough for us. Lacks balls, lacks initiative, lacks specs, lacks price advantage; thus, it lacks in pretty much every department I care to think about in tech acquisition.

Worst thing that it lacks altogether? The metal backed on is a FULL metal backed device....like the Prime, meaning that it will also lack WiFi range.....and probably BT range as well...

I would liked to have thought that ASUS would have been able to steer away from the Prime's signal reception debacle. Good find, for I had overlooked that "detail". Aside from the rather modest specs, then, we possibly also have a dysfunctional device.
I must admit I *am* interested in the ViVoTab Smart -- full Windows 8 (so not the RT version).... We'll see. Even if I get my hands on that (or another similar) device, I will keep the 70 around for a long while to come. (I recently started dabbling in Android 'programming' via AppInventor, which needs a full-blown OS -- that's why I'm eyeing Win8 tablets. I detest Windows 8 RT.)

Bought one for my wife. Works great, runs smooth does everything she wants and best of all its a 10" for $100 over a 7 inch. It also doesnt have the IPS setting for outdoor or the Gorilla glass.
Its a fine device just a lower cost alternative to a $500 unit.
She went from nothing to the lower than TF700 resolution so she doesnt notice it at all.
Adding:
I should add that I ran quadrant on the store demo and the benchmarks panned out as one would expect:
HTC One X
TF700
TF201
"Your Device"
then the big drop to the other samsung/google etc.. products. So its just below performance of my 201 but as I said, for my wife she loves it and can't quit playing angry birds and surfing the web! She hasnt opened her laptop once in 2 days and she couldnt stay off the thing.

I have this tablet and see no issues with it. so the screen resolution is not "retina-like". and its only has 1gb of ram.. who cares..the human eye can only pick up so many colors..anything more is just overkill. I wanted a good mid range tablet to surf the net and watch videos. This works perfectly. If i need something more powerful i will go to my desktop. If i need to watch "full hd" i will go to my 50inch tv...how much hd do u need on a 10" screen?

If it suits you that way don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
But if you truly believe you can't see the difference between 1280x800 and 1920x1200, put a Tab 2 and a TF700 besides eachother on the same image. I'm working on my mum's tab 2 atm, there are blurs on all the letters! The anti aliacing is horrendous!

I'm searching to buy the original OTG, if someone have one.

I just stole all the asus apps from one for the next CROMI There are 6 additional asus apps. Altough they are fairly simple. Artist, Studio, PinPal, Sticky Memo, Story and To Do List
Looks like a good budget device to me.

Hey guys, I'm still searching for the original OTG adapter, does anyone mind ti sell his, to me?

Im sure there is a noticeable difference but i guess that its not a strong selling point for me. and its no reason to trash the tablet.

can someone use sdtools and check internal memory benchmark speed?

Where are all the reviews?

I preordered the phone from the UK store. Just wondering where all the reviews are at? Is it because none of the U.S. outlets received review models or is there an embargo? All the reviews are from people who imported the phone. I know that some outlets like android central went to events and said they were going to review it.... so does anyone know?

I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else. I.E they aren't giving it out in the UK/europe for free for people to review, hence English reviews will only really come about when people who have paid for the phone get it.
Very strange, maybe it some deal they had with google considering its competing with the pixel 2 xl and this pretty much was going to be that phone?

I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else.

Hi,
Can you connect your HTC U11 plus to your TV with a usb c/HDMI adaptator.
Thanks for your reply.

That's a great question.
Yes in theory it should be possible. Especially since HTC actively advertises this feature in the U11+ specifications page on their website. If you scroll all the way down you will see a "DisplayPort" feature in the list. That's the technology behind the magic. The so called Displayport alt mode.
I wish one of the reviewers would finally hook up their U11 or U11+ directly to their TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable. There's exactly 2 videos demonstrating this feature on YouTube but they're using the older U10.
None of the U11 or U11+ reviewers demonstrated this awesome feature so far. What a shame. They didn't do their homework.
Give me a U11 or a U11+ and I will do a proper review.
Bunch of amateur reviewers!

Don't expect to see too many reviews cuz the device isn't widely available

Most reviewers are from the US so don't expect many besides the ones that are available already. So people like MKBHD, MrMobile etc probably won't review it cuz they usually get review units. Maybe J Williams and Flossy might if they import it.

The phone is awesome. Battery life, photos, smoothness but a little bit heavy

GSM Arena have a review coming

Yeah the battery life is the main reason I opted for this phone, along with the LCD HDR display and good camera. It just doesn't seem to have any compromises outside of the headphone jack.
If you have the phone id love to see some screen on time screenshots.
Also, in line with the topic of the thread, GSMArena just did an article saying they're reviewing the phone now!

GSMArena review is coming soon!

Can you connect the Huawei mate 10 directly to your TV and watch the multimedia content on the big screen in real time?
The HTC can do it!
There's your answer.

That's great. I didn't know Huawei Mate 10 had DisplayPort functionality. All modern smartphones should have it out of the box if you ask me.
If anything you would want the Huawei Mate 10 Pro . The other mates only have 4 GB RAM. You want it to compete with the U11+ right.
But then again the Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen and no sdcard slot which is a big turnoff. The Mate 10 have LCD and sdcard slot but only 4 GB RAM...
You know what. Just save yourself lots of trouble and get the U11+ which has 6 GB RAM & sdcard slot & LCD display.

If it helps, I returned my pixel 2 XL, due to screen issues and random reboots.
Then I purchased a Huawei mate 10 Pro, and have used it for the last two days. It's a great phone(screen is fantastic) but it's the little things that are bothering me with it, so I will be returning it tomorrow ( no double tap to wake, Bluetooth playback is quiet, speakers aren't great, finger print is slow at responding, always on display doesn't show notifications and keeps freezing on wrong time)
I will be purchasing the HTC u11+ and I think it's going to be spot on, but we'll see ?
Might seem fussy but if I'm paying big money, it has to be right ?
