Meizu has officially unveiled the Meizu Blue Charm otherwise known as the Meizu M1 in China. This is the company's answer to Xiaomi's ultra low cost smartphones that have dominated the Asian markets for quite a while now. Meizu also announced the Blue Charm Note smartphone about a month ago in China.
With an asking price of just around $112 or CNY 699, the smartphone promises to put all other budget handsets to shame.
It's packing a 5 inch 720p display, a 13-megapixel camera on the back, a 5-megapixel front camera, a quad core 1.5 GHz MediaTek MT6732 chipset (Cortex-A53 cores), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a 2,610 mAh battery and Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
The smartphone is only available in China at the moment, but we cannot rule out a global launch in the future. The Meizu M1 will certainly offer decent competition to Xiaomi's Redmi 1S which is being sold for as little as $100 off contract. But since the Blue Charm has better hardware on board and a newer version of Android, the device will be more appealing to prospective buyers.
