Meizu M10 32 GB / 3 GB
 | Outdated Product A strong player in the low-cost arena of smartphones with an attractive appearance (gradient overflow of the back), a large-caliber “high” screen (6.5" diagonally) and a stock Android 9.0 Pie operating system without the usual proprietary Flyme shell on top of the system. The model was equipped with an eight-core MediaTek Helio P25 chipset and ARM Mali-T880 MP2 graphics. The amount of memory on board was distributed in the ratio of 3 GB of RAM against 32 GB of ROM (with the possibility of expanding the capacity of a standard drive via a microSD card). "Filling" Meizu M10 can easily cope with the tasks of an average degree of "severity". Another highlight of the smartphone is the “three-story” main camera module, under the wing of which a 13 MP main image sensor and a couple of 2 MP auxilia...ry sensors are combined. You can also see the fingerprint scanner at the back. A durable 4000 mAh battery, coupled with low-gluttonous hardware and a modest screen resolution (1600x720 pixels), provide the mobile gadget with a long battery life. |

Strong middle peasant
In recent years, Meizu has been going through hard times and has chosen to focus on the domestic market. And when things went uphill, the once popular brand returned to our area with a couple of new smartphones. Among them is the hero of today's review, the low-cost device Meizu M10, which stands out from the competition due to the pure Android OS.
Enough power
The heart of the Meizu M10 is the MediaTek P25 processor, the permanent memory is only 32 GB, so it is desirable to expand it by installing a memory card (maximum 128 GB). 3 GB of RAM is just enough for the system to work moderately smoothly and be able to keep several applications in the background. The interface does not lag and demonstrates stability as befits a “pure android”, the animations are smooth, without artifacts. The smartphone has a fairly large 6.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1600x720 pixels. The aspect ratio is now fashionable 20:9. In fact, the screen is “frameless” and occupies most of the facade of the smartphone, but the frames at the top and bottom are quite noticeable.
Surprisingly high-quality night camera mode
Meizu M10 13 MP main camera module with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF phase detection autofocus. The remaining two modules are 2 MP each with f / 2.0 aperture. The first one helps to take portrait shots, while the second one is not clear. Apparently, the marketing triple camera allows the smartphone to sell better. The quality of the photos fully corresponds to the price, but surprises with the results. In the daytime, with good lighting, pretty good photos are obtained, but detail is often lost. But at night, when you don’t expect anything good from this camera, it manages to surprise you with a moderately low noise level, high detail and natural colour reproduction.
Get in touch!
Meizu M10 has a dual-band Wi-Fi module, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.2. The smartphone catches the network without problems. Unfortunately, there is no contactless payment here, but with an eye on the price, let's close our eyes to this. Summing up, we can say that Meizu turned out to be a strong, but unremarkable entry-level smartphone. Everything is in moderation in it: a good screen, sufficient performance for everyday tasks, a completely standard camera. It stands out from the competition due to its clean system, but it is important to consider that Meizu is not a member of the Android One programme, so it is far from certain that the smartphone will receive important system updates at lightning speed.
