Meizu E2 Unboxing And Hands-On Review (English) By TechTablets

Hi guys, so I have with me here to unbox the Maze E2 -. This is their latest budget phone. Just recently came out literally about three four weeks ago: I ordered it off AliExpress, so it's still got the factory seal wrap on there, which is great. So this model is powered by a Hello P20, that's an outscore. It has three gigabytes of RAM and you can see my particular model. Has 32 gigabytes of storage, I, think the highest you can get is 64 dual SIM 5.5-inch screen 1080p, and it is running, fly me OS their own skin or launch. You could say on top of Android 7 there.

So, lets the seller did do as I requested to not remove the factory wrap up, because a lot of them are still just go ahead and do that which I find quite annoying. I asked them to leave it alone, but they still go ahead and do it so there we have the mobile, which feels reasonably light. I'll put that aside for just a second we've got a sim tool here, of course, to open up that dual SIM tray Flame, little instruction manual here, Quick Start Guide- that is all in Chinese, and then this looks to be just something on these specs by the looks of it or possibly support or something so. Here's the charger which I think is going to support that MediaTek pump Express and that charger is rated to 9, volts 2 amps. We also get a micro, USB 2 to standard sized USB cable there for charging and data.

So on the front of the E2. You can see. We've got an 8 megapixel front facing camera. The ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, that's to the right of the earpiece and a SIM tray, which is on the upper left there. You can see the antenna line along the back and on the rear.

We have a 13 megapixel camera with a quad LED flash to the unusual. You don't normally see that and here's the SIM tray, so we'll take either two NATO Sims or you can use just one. NATO SIM give up the other one and use a micro SD card to expand upon the storage on the top of the mobile. This is just a secondary mic. I thought it might be an IR transmitter, but on closer inspection, only a mic on the right side of the device, the volume buttons power button.

These are made out of metal, and they feel perfect. They don't rattle around, which is also great on the bottom of 3.5 million headphone jack microphone for voice calls. Then the micro, USB 2 port, loudspeaker, and it is screwed in place with some Torn screws there. The home button incorporates a fingerprint reader, and it's a click in style and would also be capacitive. So.

It comes in at seven point: seven, three millimeters thin, which is good, but of course the camera does bulge out a little and that increases it to eight point three millimeters, but still overall, very good, and it weighs in at 161 grams. So it's quite light. Okay, so time to power. It up. Of course, I need to remove that screen protector.

That's all! Now! That's just for transit! So, first we're going to take a little while that's to be expected, and it looks like it's going to start up in Chinese, ?, so Asian languages and English. That is it so the screen first impression looks good. We do have that rather ugly black bezel, that's going around the outside there, so I can see it is detecting wireless AC networks, which is good. So it's supporting the five gigahertz band and I can set up my fingerprint, which I'll do now just to see what it's like I need. A password of course start out with against vibrating straightaway need to move my finger a little and do this ten times.

Of course, okay standard theme: let's get started. Okay. This is just a little see that thing. Okay, so bloatware before I actually look on blow. We're had a look and see how this unlocks, okay, so I need to press down and wait the phone first, it's not a straight unlock, but it's quite quick.

You can see that when I do actually wake it up and do it all in one motion that is reasonably fast, so not too bad. So there are quite a few bloatware applications on there. If you have a look at that, we've got lunar, travel, Weibo and all those other Chinese things most of those we should just be able to uninstall and get rid of all of that. So here's a quick look at the keyboard. You can see it's got a nice layout on there, the English keyboard, and it doesn't seem to be as annoying as some of those other ones can from the likes of Xiaomi default keyboard.

I find to be very frustrating, but I probably will end up dumping this and going with Board, which of courses Google keyboard and upon connecting up to the Internet. It's telling me there is a new version of the OS. So that's Flame six point zero point three point: two-way which I will download and install. So if the stock camera application, we have a few options here: the typical ones you see on most of my lines, they're, so high dynamic range. You can disable that various different filters by the looks of it and here in the settings we can add things like a level guideline and the photo size goes all the way up to 13 megapixels, of course, on the back and the front 8 megapixels for your selfies there and video mode.

But there isn't missions all the way up to 1080p on both front and back cameras, which is perfect because a lot of these budget mobiles only the front camera will do 480p VGA resolution, which is really disappointing. At least we're not going to have that problem with this mobile. Now there aren't various different modes going into that, so we've got promo, which is all your manual settings macro and really straightforward there. You can see, there's also slo-mo and just getting out of that political options we get with pro. So we can control this shutter rate, ISO the focus point and our exposure levels.

So here's a look at the front-facing camera I'll start out with this one first, so we can record up to 1080p as I just showed you before, and you don't normally get this option on budget smartphones you normally it just goes up to around 480 or 720 P. Maximum I can see that the exposure does adjust quite abruptly at times there you can see. So let's have a look now at the rear-facing camera which is 13, megapixels and also shoots in 1080p. This is the rear camera. Now quality seems to be decent for the price.

Now I, don't think it does have automatic, continuous autofocus. Now you have to do tap to focus. The audio quality doesn't seem too bad from what I've heard so far and overall, okay for this type of mobile, you can't really expect perfect quality (Music... ). So if you're not familiar with Flame their skin, their OS that they use on here, it's a little different because they don't have the back key and mini key in the normal location, you'll find on Android phones, so the home button acts as our back key.

So when you're in an application, for example, if I just go to the App Store here, tapping it just goes back, double tap will launch the camera from anywhere. So click launch it and swiping up as our task manager to swap between applications, and then you can kill off everything. Of course, it and free up the memory, so the phone does not come with Google Play installed. This is always the case with the phones out of China. Most of them don't have it unless, of course, it already has a global ROM on there that your seller or someone has installed for you.

But if you go into the App Store that they have on there, and you just type in Google Play. One of these here should be the Google Play installer. If not, there are other ways to get that off the internet, but you can find those Google applications you want, you can see here. We've got Google Maps, Google, Play, Music, google, keyboards photos and the rest of it. There can be installed from their app store, so I ran that into Google services installer, and it hasn't given me a plate icon.

You can see that it's not actually here in the launcher, so you have to go through the GMS installer, and then you can open google play, but it seems like it is going to work here. So it's not going to be a problem. You see it's going through that normal setup menu and everything. So let's have a listen to the single down. Speed get has on the bottom, so it isn't the loudest loudspeaker, I've heard it does peak just then at 96, but really it's actually a lot lower than that.

It hovers around the 81, as you just saw there, it does vibrate too at 100%. There is a slight hint of bass in there, mostly just based in treble, not really that much in meds. Only a little I'll put the mobile on to manual brightness at the moment, just to show you the brightness of the screen, they's normally by default it on auto brightness. So that's the dimmer sitting there, which is very done. So it's going to be good for using it late at night, without damaging or hurting your eyes and then maximum brightness completely overpowers.

My current settings I have on my camera. It is very bright, so the ROM performance seems good to me so far using it. I haven't seen too much in the way of lag, but when you do a bit of multitasking I have noticed some slowdown there now just go quickly into Chrome, just to show you the browser performance reasonably good. For some reason, the scroll doesn't seem that far for the new web, it's to do with the touch input from the screen, but I'm not having any problems using the Google keyboard getting around and typing. That is very accurate and fast here.

So that's it there for the E2. So far it looks like a really decent mobile phone for the price. I'm impressed with the performance of the UI was quite well. You are going to see some Chinese characters and there, of course- and it doesn't come with Play Store pre-installed, but it's not too hard just to go into their own store and then download that install as I showed you before previously in this video build quality is perfect. We've got 2.5 deg lass a very nice bright screen too, and the weight of it. It feels nice, it's quite light at 161 grams and overall top quality build again for the price you're getting.

Their fingerprint unlock is fast, but you must wake the device first. Apart from that the camera is probably their biggest downside here, and then I will need to check out things like the performance, gaming performance benchmarks and battery life. Thanks a lot for watching this preview, unboxing of the Maze E2, 2, and I hope to catch you back in the channel. Soon. If you have any questions, please let me know down in the comments.
