It is built with Glass and metal body which proves the smartphone more strong as compared to other handsets. It is available in the Indian market at just Rs. 6,999 with good features. Although it has some disappointments when we see the price then we can neglect that demerits because we cannot take all the features in low budget. There are many good features inside the device like its camera performance is good but the battery back up is not good and no fast charging is available. This dual SIM smartphone gives you a large screen for watching movies and doing daily tasks.

It provides a smooth fingerprint scanner and high-quality speakers which will help you listen to the music in good audio quality. Sometimes, it may happen that you will face some issues of noise but not every time. The headphone jack they provided to the customers is nice. Its display resolution is much prettier which will give you the advantage to do the activities and feel enjoy. It is a lightly weighted smartphone and easier to pick in your hand.

Inside the Box

According to the rate of this smartphone, you can not expect too much stuff but they will give you some common pieces of stuff through which you can easily do your daily tasks without purchasing extra things from the Indian market. So, it will help you to save your time and money. They use a simple packaging material box with good arrangements of all the accessories so that you will find all the accessories in the box with your naked eye. There are no accessories which are placed in the wrong position. All the accessories have its own position and you can easily take the stuff from the box. The things which Meizu M6 provide in the box is as given below:

• A handset
• Power Charger
• User Manual
• USB type-A micro USB cable
• SIM ejector tool
• Warranty Card      

This stuff is sufficient to use the smartphone with all its features. SIM ejector tool is present because of the Hybrid SIM slot in the handset. It is necessary to keep this ejector tool safe because if this will lost then you will have nothing to insert the SIM in the hybrid SIM slot. So, do not forget to keep the tool safe. It is a simple box with no designing at outside part except the M6 which looks good. It is not much attracted for the customers but when you see inside then it is okay to find the stuff.

Design and Build

First, talk about the back part of Meizu M6. The designing material looks superb and it seems like that it is built with some metallic finish but it is actually made up of polycarbonate material through which you will feel comfortable while holding in your hand. The smartphone comes in many colors. So you have a lot of choices before purchasing the device. The color comes in the Meizu M6 are Black, Silver, Blue, and Gold. A camera with LED flashlight is present at the middle side of the device and just below, a logo of Meizu is present which looks stylish and attracted.  There are no extra things present on the back and because of that, the smartphone looks simple and nice.

On the front side beside the large screen, a single button is present for switching you to the Home screen and it is not a real button. It is a fingerprint touch scanner. Some people have a problem with the single button on the front but I must tell you it just depends on how you use the device. If you use moderately then it may happen that you face difficulties but this problem is not only with this smartphone. Every smartphone whether it is cheaper or high range, if you use excessively then you may get some issues. The smartphone has less weighted of just 143 grams which is helpful to put the phone in your pocket in a comfortable manner. The edges of Meizu M6 are in a curved structure with the power button and volume button at the right edge.

The left edge filled with the Hybrid tray in which you will insert the SIM externally without removing the battery or back cover. A speaker grill and micro USB port are present at the bottom edge. At the top of the edge, you will find a headphone jack which connects your wired earphones with the mobile phone. 

Overall, the designing quality of Meizu M6 is just the same as the Meizu M5 with some good quality material. It is built with a strong material so that if by chance the phone slips down from your hand then less damage will happen and sometimes no damage occurs. It gives you attracted look and feeling of comfort when you hold this smartphone in front of another person. I think if you see the budget for this device and you have limited expectations from the smartphone then I will surely say one thing. This smartphone fulfills all your basic needs.

Display

In the recent days, it is difficult to find the demerits in display part even in the cheaper smartphones. Every smartphone give you a good display this time and so Meizu M6 has a nice display of 5.20 inches with the resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. Meizu always works on the display part because they know that if the display is not good then the mobile phone sale will decrease.

Every person who wants a smartphone first find the good display in the features. It covers all the basic features which you will find on every smartphone in this price segment. Its IPS LCD display covered the nice color saturation, decent white balance and a good 1,000:1 contrast ratio. There is no color shifting but some issues in the viewing angles. It is just an average but not above from it. This offers you a good quality brightness through which you can see outside without facing the problem of squinting.

However, the display of Meizu M6 is sufficient to do the job. Automatic brightness feature is there but I suggest you use the manual brightness enabled because when you enabled the feature of automatic brightness then the brightness gets dimmer in the darkness. Most smartphones use 18:9 aspect ratio but this uses an aspect ratio of 16:6. There is no feature of always on display. So when you want to use the mobile phone first enable the screen and then use it. The customization level is so high that you can launch any of the apps or you can switch from one app to another easily. Not only switch apps but you can change the app to music instantly.

This has no extra or advanced gestures. Only simple gestures are there for sliding or to move up/down or top/bottom. Hence it has a nice display with common features so that it is best for doing activities on regular basis. You can use this smartphone for business as well as for personal use.

Performance and Storage

Meizu M6 uses an Android 7.0 operating system with FlyMe 6.0 skin. An octa core processor with MediaTek MT6750 gives you a good feature of using the device more faster. But when it comes to multi tasking then you may face some issue. The apps which are running in the background creates the problem for the present app. If you want to save yourself from this problem then do not use the smartphone for multi tasking purposes. Use a single app at a single time. From previous years, Meizu smartphones come with this issue and are not able to solve yet.

You are not able to see the notifications of emails or messages until they can run in the foreground. Most of the users will get frustrated with this thing and not capable of understand why this happens that notifications have not come at the time. Meizu needs to work on this problem if they want to increase the sell and make a great reputation in the Indian market.

The performance of game and app is amazing but not perfect. Heavy games will access slow but small size games run well on Meizu M6. Some applications will take more time in loading but this problem is present in the smartphone which has a high range. However, it is not bad in performance but you will need some patience while using this smartphone. This is a face that they contain a slower chipset which affects the performance of the phone and due to this, you need to search the scores of benchmarks.

They will give you a 2 GB of RAM with the capacity of storing the 16 GB but there is a hybrid slot outside the phone at the left edge through which you can insert the memory chip up to 128 GB and expand the storage capacity. I used this mobile phone so I suggest you to not to store heavy data in Meizu M6 because when you perform tasks or run apps then it will take more time to load. Apps will take more time to access and sometimes hangs up because of the previous apps and more data storage. In short, do not keep more data inside it. Just use the hard disk or pen drive if you want to keep the data safe in heavy amount.

Camera of Meizu M6

This smartphone contains a single rear camera of 13 megapixels which give you an average picture in dim light. You will get a lot of noise and blurry images while capturing. It does not give you much image resolution pixels. Although, you will get good pictures in the sunlight or daylight. However, LED flash is present but it does not work well. You can say that it is present just for adding the extra features in the mobile phone. The Interface looks like same as many previous smartphones. When you swipe left or right then it will switch your camera into video mode or beauty mode and if you want to set another mode then there is an option on the left side through which you can select different modes.               

Come to the front camera. It will give you an average camera of 8 megapixels for clicking the selfies. But there is no flashlight present on the front side so you cannot take selfies when there is no light. Many modes were present like GIF mode, Panorama, Time lapse, Scan, and Slo mo but the best mode is Pro mode which gives you advanced functionality which you can't get from other smartphones. Besides all of these, there are common features like the shortcut to the gallery, a big button for clicking the photos, and a toggle switch to change from rear to front camera or vice versa. You can select options for pictures through sliders like white balance, saturation, and contrast. Overall, the camera is just average but you cannot get more pixels in camera in this cheap range.

Battery                    

The non removable battery capacity of 3,070 Hz gives you an experience of using the smartphone for a whole day. But si you use instantly then it will not give you much battery life. The capacity of the battery is always matters but it also depends on how you use your mobile phone. It is obvious to know that if you are a heavy user then the battery will downgrade faster and it is non removable so there is no battery available in the Indian market. It is not for heavy gaming. If you use extensively then you will need to keep the charger with yourself because it will give you battery back up to 4 to 5 hours.
