Meizu M6 Unboxing + Review: The Best Phone Under $150 By ben's gadget reviews

Everybody back with another unboxing apologies for the messy desk I just got back to Hong Kong after a week in LA and I have to go to Seoul South Korea in like four hours, so I'm going to unbox the phone here in Hong, Kong, and now I'm going to have to do the hands-on when I get the Korea just about two hours ago. I did a hands-on of the blue s8. So now these two are made two phones: oh I'm, only getting one two, okay, only one device I thought I was in two. So this is the maids um six. So after the Meiji post, seven plus with a second screen on the back, this is slightly boring, especially considering you can get budget phones now with slim bezel. So these bezels are quite dated by 2017 standards.

This is a budget phone, so this is a really, really bare-bones packaging. So all you get is the cable and a power brick. So the packaging is completely minimalistic compared to the Mae Chico seven-plus, which had a really cool box. I have a video that, if you're interested in checking you know if you haven't seen it yet. Oh, this is a pretty boy.

Unboxing there's like nothing here: no papers eject the tool, that's it, so I will do my favorite part. So if the specs 5.2 inch, 720p display 13, megapixel, camera 8, megapixel, front 2 or 3 gigs of ram yeah, this is a budget phone 3000 William battery, so I'm, usually a fan of Meiji phones because I, like the software, a lot and I think the camera for this should be pretty salty. But where are the boxes slightly disappointing? Considering nowadays you'm unboxing stuff like this? Is the blue boo is, so you have much slimmer bezels and that 18 by 9 aspect ratio? This is a complete copy of Samsung Galaxy S8. But you know it's a honey, 50 bucks. So you put these two side-by-side.

The medium six is a little boring for now, but you know what it's not all about. Looks the camera on the blue. Goo is is quite terrible, pretty sure the m6 will have a better camera. So I'll put this to the test when I get to Seoul I have to fly in four hours. I just have a crazy-ass week coming up, because I have to saw I'm going to Singapore, and I'm going to New York for ZTE the phone event.

Okay, I'm back, so I know earlier in the video I said: I would do a hands-on of the meet um six, but I actually ended up using this phone for six full days in South Korea. So I'd be much longer enough to call this a review. So first things. First, the mate um six is a budget device. This thing sells for $6.99 or 899 RMB, that's only about 105 or 135 US dollars. So you can have this thing for a hundred bucks.

Basically, so you have a 5.2 inch LCD of a power button underneath it at the bottom of the device. You have one single speaker, grille and a micro USB charging port on the right. It's a power button and a volume rocker and headphone jack at the top and a SIM tray on the left on the back of the device. You have a single 13, megapixel camera with F 2.2 aperture, so overall, build quality is pretty impressive. Considering the phone's, only 105 bucks, you do get a metal back.

You know remember. Last year the m5 had a pretty cheap plastic back, so a metal back is a win. Since the phone only costs like 105 bucks, you really can't expect powerful internals and the m6 obviously doesn't offer that. So what you have is a MediaTek mt6752, a chip inside with two or three gigs of RAM and either 16 or 32 gigs of internal storage. So that's not a powerful setup and the phone is a bit slow.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not laggy, and it doesn't like freeze on me, but just when you load apps, you see like that noticeable delay before everything loads compared to other phones. So if you use makes you souls before you know that makes you has a unique way of getting around Android. So, as you can see, there are no navigation buttons. You know the triangle circle and square. Instead, there's a single button that does everything it's a home button.

It's a back button. It's a fingerprint reader. So how it works. Are you physically click on a button to go home, or you tap on it to go back, so you single tap to go back, or you physically press on to go home to bring up recent apps. You swipe up from the bottom of the film off from the display to bring all your apps up.

It's not, unfortunately, because there are no navigation buttons. You do lose out on some of the androids. Traditional shortcut features such as in Android. One of my favorite things to do is double tap on the square button to jump between apps. So you can't do this on the major mm6, because there is no square button for you to double tap.

You also can't go in the split-screen mode, because again there is no square button for you to long press, so the m6 runs. Enjoy 7.0 will find me six point seven. On top, as you can see, there is no app tour. So all your apps, it's on the home screen I'm, not a big fan of that. But overall major software is good.

You can bring down a notification shade by swiping anywhere on the screen, for example, and you go into settings. Major is perfect at giving you a bunch of gestures such as double tapping on the screen to turn on the phone or drawing on the screen when it's off to launch apps such as camera or Facebook or Instagram. All this is customizable. You can launch anything. So it's quite useful.

The m6 also comes with this toolbox, app, which has been available in other Chinese phones. Actually, so you can do basic things like turn on a flashlight, or you know usually as a compost. These are pretty basic functionality, but you can do some cool stuff, such as, usually as a level or spirit level, to check if something of your table or top is balanced. You can also use it as a ruler which was pretty cool. I can see this coming into handy so about that camera.

Considering that the m6 sells for only a little more than a hundred bucks, the camera is really damn impressive. It focuses fast, and the camera app has various shooting modes, including manual controls, which lets you adjust shutter, speed and ISO, and all that and also comes with a very goofy beauty mode that will whiten your skin, make your eyes bigger, slim your face and all that other for people who like selfies, because photography, if you have good sunlight, the shot will come out very impressive. Color accuracy is good. Details are high, and you know just overall a very impressive camera. Considering this is a budget phone, but what most impresses me is low-light.

Photography now don't get me wrong with the m6. If you take a picture at night, it's not gonna, be a low-light photo taken with the Samsung Galaxy S8, but that's not a fair comparison. This phone is a hundred bucks, so you compare the m6 to other Chinese phones, budget, Chinese phones like the Rookie mix, the photos feeling way better at night. I, look at some video samples, so video tests of the major m6, so I shot this video in 1080p, which is the max resolution at 7:00 p. m.

in Korea. So the Sun was setting already in the street was actually getting dark. So considering that details are quite good, there is no IS. Obviously so consuming media on the to UM sixes are pretty decent. The 5.2 inch display it's only a 720p panel, so it's not the most crisp display out there and obviously the bezels around the screen is quite large. So it's not like it's the most immersive experience.

The single speaker, grille, is also pretty weak, so you can muffle the sound very easily and even when it's not muffled, it just doesn't get that loud in max volume. So, overall, this phone is okay for consuming media. It definitely doesn't look as a merciful or cool as other bunch of devices such as the Rookie mix. Battery life is excellent as expected, because the screen is only five point, two inches and 720p resolution. It doesn't use a lot of power, so in a week of using career, I was able to get almost five hours of screen on time every day from the three thousand seventy William battery.

So, overall, the major m6 is probably the best budget phone out. There I mean yes, you can get sexier looking bezels phones from companies likely a do or boogie at a similarly low price, but those fools have mediocre cameras that really suffer at night. The mate um six takes pretty damn good photos at night and overall, the software it's just more reliable because maybe it's a bigger company than I do yo LE ago, so at 105 bucks. This is quite a bargain. Thanks for watching.
