The name is Meizu m2 notes and, as usual, the operating system that is integrated is Android -Lollipop- although with a very evident layer of customization in terms of design (Flyme OS).
We are talking about a model that can be obtained for about 117 Euros in its 16 GB variant or by €146 If the chosen option is the 32 gigabyte option, you won't have to spend a lot of money to get a model that comes with an IGZO display. 5,5 inches with a Full HD resolution (1080p).

When it comes to the processor, the choice is a MediaTek model. Specifically, it is the SoC MT6753 eight-core that operates at a frequency of 1,3 GHz and is fully compatible with 64-bit architecture. In this way, the Meizu m2 note is perfectly prepared for future advances in the Android operating system and, in addition, how it integrates 2 GB of RAM, the performance has to be pretty good. Added to this is a GPU Mali-T720 MP3, a clear jump over the Snapdragon 400 (quad-core 1,2 GHz) with Adreno 305 and 1GB of RAM from the second-generation Moto G.

As far as cameras are concerned, those that are integrated into the terminal are one of 13 megapixels with dual LED as main (f / 2.2) and the front is 5 Mpx (F / 2.0). Therefore, this section is well resolved. The battery, as the last detail known at the moment, offers a charge of 3.100 mAh, which is not bad at all.
