Meizu might have some way to go before establishing itself as a serious player in India, but it's fairly well established in its home market China. In the business of smartphones since 2008, Meizu is one of the top 10 manufacturers in China. Following a heavy infusion of capital investment from Alibaba in February, the company announced plans to launch in India a month later and finally launched the m1 Note in May.
The Meizu m2 is a decent budget device with good looks, decent performance and a great price for the features and specifications offered. It's easy to grip and hold, and is build well. However, Meizu's Flyme 4.5 OS, based on Android 5.1, is far too complicated and changes typical Android functions for no good reason. Additionally, average camera performance is a weakness for the device. Although the Meizu offers excellent value for money, it's complicated software makes it suitable only to users who are familiar with Android, and will not be ideal for beginners and basic users.
