Smartphone Meizu M8c

The youngest device in the 2018 Meizu smartphone family keeps pace with the inexorable engine of progress. The protagonist in the model is a 5.45-inch HD + screen with 18:9 proportions, which occupied over 84% of the gadget's front panel area. Things are much more modest with the “underhood hardware”: the Meizu M8c 16GB processor uses the well-proven Snapdragon 425 chip in combination with 2 GB of RAM.

You can’t play “heavy” games on such hardware, but in everyday life, the strength of a smartphone is enough to perform motley tasks without lags and slowdowns. The set of cameras in the assets of a mobile device turned out to be a “classic of the genre” — the back panel of the model is decorated with an “eye” of a 13 MP photomodule with an f / 2.2 aperture, and an 8 MP front camera with faster aperture optics (f / 2.0) is installed in front. The energy centre of the smartphone is a non-removable 3070 mAh battery, which provides a sufficient margin of battery life so that you do not have to look for an outlet during the day.

Meizu signature design

In terms of design, Meizu has settled down for a long time, and new smartphones rarely differ from each other outwardly. The M8c was no exception, which is sealed in a plastic case with rounded edges. The surface of the case is matte, so the smartphone is not particularly slippery in the hand and collects fingerprints.

Advanced light sensor

Most of the front panel of the Meizu M8c is occupied by an IPS screen with 2.5D glass. The screen has a diagonal of 5.45" (resolution 1440x720) with a fashionable aspect ratio — 18:9. The screen quality is good for this class. But what makes it stand out from the competition is the ambient light sensor, which is as accurate as Batman's butler. For smartphones under $100, this is a real luxury.

Eye-friendly screen

For IPS, the colour palette seems a little cool, but in everyday life it is completely invisible. Moreover, it can be adjusted in the settings. The eye-friendly evening mode is also turned on there, which attenuates the brightness with colour reproduction and minimizes the number of blue tints in the spectrum, which, according to scientists, has a positive effect on the quality of sleep.

Snapdragon processor

This time, the low-cost Meizu received a Qualcomm processor, not MediaTek — a quad-core Snapdragon 425 with Adreno 308 video. There are no options for RAM and storage — only 2/16 GB. In everyday tasks (surfing, social networks, etc.), Meizu M8c shows good performance, although sometimes it can switch to a leisurely mode or “twitch” several times while flipping through work screens or running applications. However, the specification of the device and the price tag clearly indicate that this is far from the newest platform and such a smartphone is not suitable for games.

High battery life

The advantages of Meizu M8c is to write down the battery life: to discharge the smartphone in a day, you will have to try hard. Here it is worth saying thanks to the modest hardware and the lack of games. In general, in the average load mode, the smartphone lives for almost two days, which is an excellent result for a 3070 mAh battery.

In general, Meizu M8c is one of the most affordable FullView smartphones with decent functionality, good battery life and high quality materials.
