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
I have sold my s3 and got a note 2 since december from last year.
The reason i bought such a huge phone was for the s pen. It helped me in college for taking notes, but then ive bought an ipad which can work for the same purpose, except without the s pen.
Nowadays im just not finding the note 2 practical for everyday usage. Its just too big.
So now im Thinking of selling it and either buying either an s4, htc one or xperia z.
Can someone give me feedback on those phones?
I love the design of sony phones, but i also cant live without the features of samsung phones
Keep it or you will regret it.

I hope when you do replace the Note 2 for now, you will have no regrets.

If the size of the note 2 is too much, I wouldn't got for the xperia z. its a bit blocky.
I wouldn't the s4 either. Go for the Oppo Find 5, looks to have decent developer support as well

Why dont you ask in their respective forums about those devices?
And if you don't like it anymore, then sell it and move on!
I am new note 2 owner coming from a S3 and before that an iPhone 4s.
This note 2 is the best device I have ever had.

I wouldn't really recommend any of the devices (I've got my hands on S4, Z and One, FYI) over the Note II. But if the size is bothering you that much, go for S4. It's got almost no bezel, and is nearly the same size as S3. Z is probably my least favorite device of all 3, and it's really a tie between One and S4.
But other than that, many users here have switched back to N2, for the record. From both One and S4.

Personally I would go for the HTC One
It is a stunning looking phone and I personally prefer HTC Sense to TouchWiz. All IMO of course, but if I could turn back time I would have got the One instead of the N7105.
32GB Storage is enough for most people, and the only negative is the non-replaceable super sealed in battery where there's no getting at it without wrecking the rest of the phone. From my experience though, this won't be an issue for the lifespan that you'll have the phone.

This depends though on how biased you may be to a particular company.
As bizarre as it sounds, some grown men actually "support" an electronics company the same way normal people support a sports team.

Logic fail...
why is supporting a sports team considered normal and support a electronics company isn't? In what ways does a sport team have in connection with it's fans? Nothing. People support a sport team so that they have a sense of belonging, thus filling the mid level needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Different people have difference ways of completing that need. Some "grown" men support their country and hence nationalism, some men support their sport team and hence the sporting industry.
In fact, a normal person can have more sense of belonging to a electronic company because they can buy shares of that company and become part owner.
If you want to change to a similar size just wait for the HTC One Max or the Note 3. They'll be here shortly. Even the Xperia Ultra Z looks nice.
However If you feel that Note 2 is big for you, definitely try the HTC one. Its an awesome phone. I bet you wont give up that one easily.
HTC One would be the way to go, or a Nexus 4.
However, out of experience I can tell: you can get used to a phone with big screen such as the Note 2, but the other way around.. Not really. When I take my Nexus in my hands now, it feels like a freaking toy. The Note is just boss. Also Note 2 community is very alive (on XDA and beyond too) and there are many good TW and AOSP roms and kernels out there..
Off the record: I even dare to say I have a better AOSP experience than on my Nexus, why ? 'Cause of the 5,5" display..
I sold my htc one and bought the note 2. I can tell you what i think (pros ans cons)
1 htc one is much faster than note 2 and s4
2 the big screen in the note2 is a pro and con at the same time. "Pro" because ots really great to play games and read and "con" because its hard to handle it with one hand. Also the htc one sreen is much greater than the note 2, looks a lot sharper and better colors
3 the battery of the note2 is really amazing, i have gotten 8hrs screen time while in the htc one i have gotten 6+ hrs screen time but sometimes just 5hrs screen time
4 the camera on both are great, i like the htc camera more because of the functions and the quality is really great
5 the sound of the htc one is simply the best, even better than some laptops trust me!!
6 you can install a sd card in the note2
7 you have spen in the note2 (i dont use it that much so to me its not a big deal)
Im thinking in sale my note2 and get the htc one again but its hard to leave the great battery life i get with the note2 so its your choice mate

Because it's usually sad losers who ramble on online desperately trying to defend their precious brands and these "fanboys" have no shame.
A supporter of a sports team usually isn't the type of loser who portrays a sad and lonely one man crusade online to defend his precious brand name. Dunno what sports you like mate, but I go for a few beers with my mates and then go watch Arsenal. It is completely different to feeling the need to ramble on whenever a company like Apple is mentioned.
The fanboy "iFail, Crapple" type people are all too frequent and pathetic and they need to get a life.
As for the rest of your rant, I tend to find the online or technology "fanboys" to be more cringeworthy than the rest. Maybe they're sociallu awkward and need support the samsung or apple team (whatever that means).
The only logic fail here is you telling the op that the Note 3 is the best even though he already said the note 2 was too big for him. I would hazard a guess this is because you are one of these aforementioned fanboy characters and can't bear to see anyone suggest anything other than the Note

seems like you generalise everything you observe.
Okay I hope I am allowed to post this in general, and I hope no one gets offended by anyway lol
I am going off to college (UCSD) this fall. I am considering buying an iPhone just for the fact that I want a completely functioning phone as my daily driver and I don't want to find myself trying to solve issues during school.
I am asking for some opinion.
I love android and flashing, but I find myself using a lot of time doing so, I dont want to do this and get distracted while I dorm in college and have other things to worry about.
I guess my question is, should I consider a new iPhone, or are the new phones like the s4 just as reliable? I know I'm going to get a variation of opinions, but that's what I want I really cannot make up my mind lol.
It just seems to me that all the apps are more reliable to use on an iPhone since they are developed for that specific device etc.
Thanks in advance for your opinion

the iPhone 5 is great device if you find one on a good price... has LTE for T-Mobile...
the only drawback si the there will b a new iPhome comming out in the nexts 3 month, so if you buy it brand new on a full price, you will lose bout $300 in value by that time...
might consider finding one on craigslis for $400sh, but be carefull, as i just got burned w a lemon last week...
bought a NOTE 2 for $360... used it for 4-5 days and got reported stolen... no service...
going to sell it for $300sh now for use on another Network, and take the loss...
back to the Blaze for now...

Have you considered running just stock on the blaze? If you want real, real stable/reliable, stock is the way to go for this phone. No need to troubleshoot issues, wipe davlik, catlog and that kind of stuff. This also applies to all smartphones. Part of flashing a non-stock rom is assuming that nothing is ever 100% stable, but can be sometimes. Most roms are 99% stable, but it seems to be that the time you REALLY need your phone for something you discover that 1% bug
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see what Thomas will bring with all his hard work on CM 10.1. But I just haven't ever been happy with standby battery life on CM10/CM10 based roms. That and wifi calling is a must in my basement (where my home office is).
Back on topic... regardless which device you get running stock will ensure 100% stability, that or running a stock themed/debloated/deodexed rom is also a safe way to go. Not to knock iPhones (they aren't that bad), but my father in law seemed to always be having issues with his iPhone 4. He kept losing his contacts. He just got a 5 a few days ago so I don't know how that will fare... I personally have over $100 in apps from the play store, and I don't want to have to buy apps all over again... soo.... My next phone will be a nexus 5 (got 4 bills saved already!) :good::victory: Just a few months to wait!
So yeah, I would recommend a nexus 5. Just wait 2 1/2 more months... rumors have it dropping in October. Current rumors have it with a snapdragon 800 (double the graphics perf from the 600 and modest clock bump), and a Nikon camera... drool....
yeah im looking to buy a Nexus 5 aswell, but i dont think it will have the latest procesor
its a mid tier phone, i personaly will be just happy w a LTE chip and timely updates...
whatever else they can cramp over my expectations its a plus
PS the Note 3 will be a beast... rumored to have the new flexible displays that you can not break and that latest procesor w 3GB RAM and LTE-A ...
Nexus 5? New Nexus Phone "the Moto X" will be most likely shown on August 1 as Motorola has already sent invitations. I have yet to see the Nexus 5.

I got the Galaxy Note 3 about 5 days ago, and I love it, its a powerhouse, doesn't slow down no matter what i throw at it. The S-pen is pretty fun too. The Air commands are relevant in some cases, but most of the time its just used as a sort of party trick, there are only a couple that I actually use everyday. But the downfall so far, which is a big one for me, is the fact that I can't do any ROMs or other types of Customization (kernels, Overclocking, etc etc) Which is my favorite part about having an android phone. I specifically taught myself some coding just so I could make my own roms. And before this I had the S3 and S4, and with the excellent ROM community the S3 and to some extent the S4 had, I assumed the GN 3 would too.
So with that being said, I've been thinking of selling it on Swappa and getting the LG G2 with the unused upgrade I have on my account.
So Basically what I wanna hear from you guys is your opinions about this. I am worried that I am gonna sell the GN3 for the G2, and then have buyers/sellers remorse, and it will be too late.
And How do you guys think the two devices stack up against each other and also what is the Dev support for the G2 like so far ? From what I've seen just browsing through the G2 forum on here, it looks like they already have some good ROM's available.
and the last thing I was curious about, is how many of you that own the GN 3, will use custom ROM's on your device if/when the Dev's figure out how to unlock the bootloader or some type of work around. I've read some stuff saying that using ROM's on the GN3 might not be such a great idea, since ROM's like CM and such, couldn't include support for the S-Pen and some of the other stuff that makes the GN3 what it is. Which I don't see why they couldn't include the use of the S-Pen and Multiwindow in the ROMs.
Sorry for asking so many questiosn in one post, but I have been bouncing this around in my head for 2 days now and can't make a decision. My back up plan is just to sell the GN3, re-activate my GS3 and wait for the Nexus 5. But I am enjoying having a Phablet, so wanted to stay with something bigger then 5"

Sorry for asking so many questiosn in one post, but I have been bouncing this around in my head for 2 days now and can't make a decision. My back up plan is just to sell the GN3, re-activate my GS3 and wait for the Nexus 5. But I am enjoying having a Phablet, so wanted to stay with something bigger then 5"

Note 3, just go for it man !
I have the G2 with Cyanogen Mod installed. The phone is a nice size and this ROM is better than stock in my opinion. I didn't get the note 3 because of price and it was too big anyway. You can actually get the G two on Amazon for Verizon for one cent. Maybe for other carriers too I'm not sure.

Well like I said, I already have the Note 3, got it about 5 days ago now, maybe 4, been a long week lol I love it, and it kicks every other phone's ass in sheer power. But as I also said, Being able to mod my phone is a huge huge part of the reason I buy one. Guess I shoulda done a lil more research about it first instead of just assuming.

Yea I saw that 1 cent thing. I could just open a new line on my account instead of using the upgrade and just switch everything over to the new line. The upgrade price is still 99$ which isn't bad, but 1 cent is better. And
CM is awesome, I've used it on several of my devices the only two that I've had that wouldn't work with it were my POS LG Revo and now my Bad-ass but Uber-Locked Note 3. And there are so many other ROM's, including writing my own, that I want to use. I love this note 3 a lot, but wtf, why can't they just let us mod our damn phones. We paid for em, its not gonna hurt them. The Knox Security should only be on government used devices as it was originally intended since the DoD/CIA/FBI etc etc has approved the use of Smartphones by their employees as official work devices. So of course they need there's to be secure, but I don't, I need it to be mine. The reason i dont like iPhone is cause it doesn't feel like its mine phone, I can't really do what "I" want with it, but android, i could always do whatever i wanted to it, make it look, feel, run, how I liked it. And they wanna take away one of the biggest and best reasons that put Android devices above the rest. Bull**** !
I think we should stage Coup of VZW and Samsung, and make some of the Dev's from here the CEO's of each of them. The world would be a better place. Maybe even stop world hunger lol
Another Question -
Do you think there is a noticeable difference in the 2GB of RAM in the G2 vs the 3GB of RAM in my Note 3 ?
oh and anyone know when the HTC One Max is supposed to come out, cause I am thinking about that as well. I looked it up earlier, but forgot what it said for release date, and wasn't sure if it was a legit one or just rumored
There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
The OPO is getting old now, I've had my 3years worth and loved it despite the issues I've faced!
However it's time to upgrade (new job, more money )
I'm in the mix between ;
Pixel 1 XL - £400 (Really like this phone, although the age is putting me off SLIGHTLY due to not going to get many official updates)
Pixel 2 - £630 (Quite a bit expensive, will leave me quite skint but possibly worth it; I want this device the most)
LG G6 - £400ish? £500 with a floating LG speaker (I REALLY like this device, especially for the money but the skin and delay in updates will probably make me ill lol)
Oneplus 5 8GB ram - £450 (student discount) (obviously this looks like the no brainer but i KNOW the jelly effect will really get to me, in nearly every review of it on youtube i notice it when they scroll; no one can change my mind about this but I've added it to see if theres yet a fix for it? or is there going to be one? I havent seen anything about it?)
;
And these are the phones, can anybody steer me into the right way? I honestly cannot decide, and my mind hasnt been made so I'm not biased against any however I'm least keen about the OP5.

I wouldn't choose them sort of phones anyway mate due to the inconvenience such as; they'd be imported, wouldnt have good support if anything was to happen and the sites selling the xiaomis at least havent had the best reviews.
The phones i suggested i can buy in town without hesitation, even the Oneplus 5 due to being in the UK and o2 selling oneplus products
I just want something that works, is great all round and smooth. (and something i'm able to flaunt to ALL of my iPhone friends that claim Android is for 'tramps and emo geeks' hahah )

Well I was going to get the honor when it was just out as my dad asked if i wanted to get it off him and swap him for my opo with some money on top but the software is a big killer, possibly THEA worst android skin on a mainstream phone. The look, the feel and everything is clunky and pretty fairly disgusting.
I dont think theres any other phone on the market I'd have other than i've stated, I really like the Moto Z but I can't find it for sale in the UK (reasonably priced anyway), Also like Sony xperia phones but again, they're too expensive for what they are. The new HTC u11 is £600 so again, too expensive all considering.
