The past few days were quite busy on the mobile front. Device announcements were quite plentiful and a lot of them entirely out of the blue. There isn't really any spectacular powerhouse on the list, but, the phones do deserve their share of attention.
First up is the Meizu m2 note. It comes as a descendant and more or less updated version of the highly-impressive Meizu m1 note. Priced equally to the predecessor at CNY999 (~$160), the new Meizu m2 note packs even more bang for the buck. It is a phablet-sized unit with a spacious 5.5-inch FullHD display and a midrange MT6753 chipset. It packs the same octa-core Cortex-A53 setup as its predecessor, but, now offers global 4G coverage - and astonishing feat for a sub-$200 device. And the m2 note just keeps on giving.
