The Chinese smartphone maker Meizu has just released the successor to its highly popular M1 Note.

Meizu M2 Note is a 5.5-inch phablet featuring a FullHD, Sharp’s IGZO display with contrast ratio of 1000 : 1 and 450 nits of brightness. The new phablet is powered by MediaTek’s MT6753 SoC, including an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz and a Mali-T720 MP3 GPU working at 450 MHz.

The phone comes with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, expandable via micro-SD card reader. However, it is shared with the second SIM slot, so you cannot use both simultaneously. The MT6753’s capabilities also include Cat.4 LTE support, allowingh transfer speeds of up to 150 Mpbs.

The M2 Note’s camera features a 13 MP Samsung’s CMOS sensor as well as an f/2.2 lens with Gorilla Glass 3 on top for protection. The front shooter received a 5 MP sensor and an f/2.0 lens.

Meizu’s new phone sports a 8.7 mm thin polycarbonate casing weighing 149 grams. Just like with its predecessor, the M3 Note’s 3100 mAh battery is not removable.

Meizu M2 Note price tag has been set to about $160. The device is now available in China. There’s no information regarding availability in other markets, so far.
