Finally, Meizu is introduced their newest phone which is created too much rumour recently. And it seems that most of them are correct, but wait, much more interesting ahead.

The Meizu m1 Note Mini is considered as the direct rival of The Xiaomi Redmi 2. And cuz of later release, so its phone is paid much attention more.

The Meizu M1 features with a 5″ screen, that has a slightly higher resolution 1280×768 than 720p and a pixel density of 300ppi. Frankly 5″ is larger then the 4.7″ of the Xiaomi Redmi 2. Even before the official launch, many actually comparisons to the Xiaomi Redmi 2, lets see how they compete.

Design: The Meizu M1 is very similiar to its big bro Meizu M1 Note. The M1 has a unibody polycarbonate body pairing with various color options, including pepper mint. And in general, they have a same look and might remind you of the iPhone 5C.

Camera: The Meizu M1 sports a 13MP Main Camera with ƒ/2.2, compared to the 8MP shooter of the Xiaomi Redmi 2. It seems that the m1 Note mini has more advantages in this department. The Selfie Camera is actually the same sensor as on the much more expensive Meizu MX4 Pro with a 5MP resolution and F2.0 aperture!

Hardware: The Meizu m1 Mini reports a Quad-Core 64BIT MediaTek MT6732 processor, clocked at 1.5GHz. Its phone has previously with a score of above 30,000 Antutu scores. It’s quite good for its price.

Besides, the m1 Mini is powered by 1GB of RAM as well as 8GB of onboard storage which is allowed you to expand up to 128GB via microSD.

Wait for a minute here, Xiaomi has just unveiled a news of upgrading Xiaomi Redmi 2 to 2GB of RAM. So it seems that in this part, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 is winner. But we’ll not be surprised if Meizu releases a new Meizu m1 Mini 2GB of RAM version as well. Meizu and Xiaomi, a critical war ever. So we really don’t think they will keep 1GB of RAM after this Xiaomi’s activity.

The Meizu M1 is with 8.9mm and 128g a real light weight. It packs a 2610mAh battery, which should be sufficient for the 5.0″ HD screen and Quad-Core Cpu.

Battery: The m1 Mini will be packed a 2,610 mAh battery which is a little powerful feature compared to 2200 mAh battery life of Xiaomi Redmi 2.

Price: The m1 Mini will cost at 699 Yuan (110USD/PHP5,021), in exactly same price with the Xiaomi Redmi 2. Release Date will be 5th February for Pre-Order in China.

Packing with some listed above specs and a price tag of PHP 5,021, personally I find really interesting. What do you think? Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Meizu m1 Note mini? Which phone is yours?

Updated Feb 3th:

Meizu has updated its phone specs, sadly its battery capacity will be reduced by 1100 mAh, meaning down from 2610 mAh to 2500 mAh. It’s still at a higher spec compared to Xiaomi Redmi 1S but will definitely affect to the longevity of the battery throughout the day.

The Meizu m1 Mini is now only available in China with support for TD-LTE and TDSCDMA frequencies. Unfortunately, its phone doesn’t be shown up on the English Meizu product page, probably meaning that it will be not be globally released anytime soon.
