  • does it work in the us?

  • Made in China ,Good!!!

  • looks like they Stole Apples idea

  • @TheNorweagian well, actually this phone and iphone started the designing almost at the same time. but M8 came out to the market a little bit, just a little bit later than iphone due to some reasons, even the iphone Company didn't say anything as they are not sure if iphone actually start the designning earlier than M8. So they shut up their mouth, According to previous exprence, if the products of Apple were copied or imitated, Apple company will definitly make prosecution.

  • @YJscofield ohhh okey ;)

  • the chinese could make superior phones if they wanted to. What they lack is the advertising power so they have to piggyback

  • i really wish there was an english manual for this, FAIL MEIZU!

  • wow in the beginning he sais IT WON'T WORK IN AMERICA!!! why are you watching this video?

  • 9:36

  • Now Meizu M8 is much better. They have new firmwares and it come better!

    This is one of the first phone. Now is Meizu M8 SE (Second Edition) and comes with new PET displays (future) .

  • 3.4"

  • "Buddon"? Button you fucking momo.

  • Can I use that phone with metro pcs?

  • BETTER THAN OMNIA.

  • @breakvideofilmer OMNIA IS A SMARTPHONE! this is a dumbphone like the prada

  • Omnia's user interface suck cock. Its horrible and a fail wannabe of the iphone like it or not. (i bet you have an omnia)

  • i don't have an omnia, but this phone is no better...besides just update the omnia to winmo 6.5 and it's user interface with greatly improve.

  • Hello!

    I would like to ask, does the phone support 3G network?

  • NO  only support GSM

  • where can i get it? its not in ur store

  • you can buy it in china

  • if i buy it do i have to have a sim card?

  • dualband should work in middle europe.

  • Hey Razz,

    Does the M8 record video?

  • Yep it can record videos ( 640x480 & 320x240 )

  • Crap resizing? Dude, look at the screen format, it's kind of normal if the image got cut ... grrr

  • ahuhueuheau

    thats right!!

    grrrr [2]

  • what memory card does it have?x

  • CNY:1999  8GB

    CNY:2500 16GB

  • The interface of nearly/all DAPs mp4nation sells is just shitty. The new "NaNite" is quite expensive and plays only mp3 and wma. Imo the only good thing about it is the battery life.

    M8 RE 8GB is at 195 € as of yesterday. Maybe it is, altogether, slightly worse then the iPhone (I don't think so, but I can understand so. who does), but it costs less than 1/2.

    As my M6 SP broke of bad treating, I consider buying this instead of a new M6 TS. It's just a bit more than 2x price...

  • err errr studdder

  • you really suck at that game.

  • will it work in guam?

  • no it dosent work with verizon.. verizon suck anyways...

  • if apple didn't have the app store , iphone must be game over .

  • thats why its windows mate, you can install a much better media player. hell you can even write your own

  • that looks so much like the iphone wonder if it works for att?

  • Rotlf at the ball game ;)

  • meizu is a great company

  • Great is a little bit of an over statement :/

    they are good but nothing special really.

    That's just my opinion

  • everybody its expensive yay .... But think about the contract you wont have to spend more for the iPhone if you have a iPhone you gotta spend more money on the contract per month

  • exactly. it's going to cost me the same to use all the features of the M8 as did my blackberry. the M8 is simply more cost-efficient (not to mention usable on other networks) than the iPhone

  • iphone is cheaper and better, this is like $350. The only thing that makes the iphone so much is the plan

  • does this mobilephone have wifi? how bout 3g?

  • it can work in america

  • In China M8 is much better than iphone.m8 has a better camera(3.2m) and its screen is good too,and it's cheaper than iphone.m8 can play videos in rmvb.

  • better ?

    HAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAH

  • well its a different story down here in AUS...... more ppl own the touch then iphone......

  • its not as great as the iphone coz the CPU might be a cheap ass one. BUt if you a person who cant not afford iphone and the gay contract, but u can afford a ipod touch, this might be a second choice !

  • lol an iPod touch is MORE money than an iPhone....but the iPhone has that thing called a contract. =)

  • Buy a iphone on craigslist, download quickpwn on your computer, unlocked like that! and the contract went out the window!

  • yeah but thats buying it used, im talking about new.

  • this thing is more expensive on eBay than a 32gb ipod touch... or 16gb iphone 3g... what a rip off

  • awesome mobilephone!

  • This is a Windows Mobile phone?

  • this guy is a retard...

  • Wtf??!!!! This thing has a 3.2 mp camera, first, you said that it has a 3.2 mp camera, and then you say that it has a 1.3 mp camera, when this thing has a 3.2 mp camera. And why are u ranting on about how horrible of a media player it is, when it beats the Iphone when it comes to music and video playback. And the Iphone literally costs twice as much!

  • the m8's multimedia player is better than iphone. i have the iphone and the video quality sucks. you must convert it to mpeg4, this will work iwth divx and xvid. and the loud speaker will be better than the crappy easily distorted iphone has. i will sell my iphone after it becomes quad band

  • lol it doesnt have a conveinent program to download other programs such as appstore lol

  • If you cant use it in the USA, speak another and tell them about it....not us!

  • will this work for t mobile?

  • yes, it does.

  • does this work for sprint??? and when does it come out to america?

  • This dude laughs like an idiot :) , the phone rocks

  • its still the best video player compare to iphone. this one plays AVI without converting..hey can iphone do that??????

  • now, but whats so fascinating about this stuff is that the chinese copy- yes they do indeed, but come on, Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo etc. did too- and add additional features or put better parts in than in the original hardware. take for example the other meizus, which had a far better sound chip (and therefore better sound quality) than all ipods before

  • The M7 was announced for production before the iPod touch was,so who copied who?

  • iphone and America trump this phone

  • Where did you buy the Meizu M8?

  • Can someone explain for a newbie how it is that you would access the Internet with this phone? I am with AT$T. Would I have to get the data pack?

  • really nice...if u mix that witha cipone tha would make an iphone

  • that´s really the best iphone clone ever.

  • this review is rubbish...

    this guy has no plan

  • Its finally out?!?! YAY!!!

  • Apple products look good, no doubt. But they are way too expensive. Even the products that have high-end components and are really working stable are overprized.

    I own an iPod, and I am very happy with it. But I would never buy a computer by apple, and certainly no iPhone since its' specs and functions can NEVER match any other high-end cell phone from real cell phone manufacturers!

  • Finally someone realizes the truth...

  • eugene, u da man! =)

  • I was stupid enough to buy an Apple computer, biggest mistake of my life.

  • i am kinda curious because of the rumoured apple netbook.

    so, you wouldn't suggest buying an apple? i mean, i've been playing with some of them in shops. i miss the right mouse button =)

    but this slim keyboard looks fantastic!

  • NO! Mine is slow, always freezes, always overheating, the slim keyboard is very hard to type on and after a while it is almost painful to type on. The screen's backlighting is very sloppily done and hurts my eyes, and now the damn thing won't turn on, so I have to take it to the Apple store for a repair, again. And I've only had it since june 2008.

  • i knew that all those "legends" about apples never crashing and stuff ain't true...

    so, let's see what windows 7 will bring us. and i am also very very anxious for what microsoft has in store considering the upcoming zune!

  • You don't have one, idiot.

  • Yes I do. :) I have the MacBook white Penryn model I bought on june 17, 2008 for $1,500 including the printer and apple care, it uses intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics, has a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duoprocessor and came with 1GB DDR2 RAM, but I quickly upgraded to 3GB. It has a 120GB HD, running right now on 10.5.6 because I have heard many horror stories about 10.5.7

  • wow dude that sucks...3 gb DDR RAM? wow....120 GB sucks but i guess its ok...not worth 1500 at all

  • I remember I was either going to get this or a VAIO... I should have gotten the VAIO.

  • Did you refer to sound quality with the built in or headphones?

    It has a Wolfson sound chip, like the M6 SL and the M6 is known to be one of the best sounding players.

  • u said the camera is crystal clear then your camera went blury :P

  • The M8 appears one of the better iPhone clones, certainly much better than junk like the A88. Great to see it's using a capacitive touch screen, rather than the usual stylus loving rather fragile resistive screen as seen on a lot of phones of this type.

    I assume this would have full internet access using Pocket Internet Explorer or Opera Mobile, rather than the abysmal WAP only efforts which most iPhone clones appear to have.

    900/1800 duel band is a bit of a show stopper though, as is no 3G.

  • 2 years to make an iPhone

  • 2 years to make a product that made a revolution on its market... not bad huh?

  • the product did not revolutionize the market. touchscreens were avaiable way before the iPhone. it's the marketing that sky rocketed it. and of course the fanboys and fangirls. who else would stand in line 3 hours to buy a cell phone without even knowing how it works and what kind of specs it has??? only in america, baby...

  • 2 years for you to make that comment ....lame

  • Not really, it took me less than a minute to face the facts... sorry...

  • well good to know you are fact facing do you want a cookie?

  • lg cookie

  • hi razz.

    I've been watching ur videos 4 some time and i just wanna say thanks cuz u r the best reviewer/seller around, really, i have my optimus 2g ipod touch clone, my nationite s flow and a sciphone i68 thanks to you.

    since u dont have this phone avaible im gonna buy it from the meizu website, i just want to know if this cellphoe will work on central america/south america.

    please respond.

    Ruy!

  • it looks pretty decent

    it has so many nice features on its media player, though.....especially being able to build playlists and edit them like that o.o.....it'd be nice to see that in regular players

  • and the web browser?

  • if you unlock it, will it work in canada?

  • When will you be selling this player?

    Cheers

  • we are selling it, interested then just send us a private message. we even can do dropship anywhere in the world

  • LOL,the too long fucking waiting. I am afraid you guys still to wait yet, meizu company have no oversea market plan yet, i made a phonecall to them.but the test version are released in china for 2 months,that's what you seen right on vedio, and the formal version will coming soon.if any one wanna to get one,can contact me, i am a china buy agent. As the reported, the M8 and perfect be used in USA.contact :raymondpy35 at hotmail com.

  • Here has many at heart abnormal people, always thought that own country are best, if other countries have in any aspect surpass his country the place, he can think that this is one kind of hooliganism, this country is an outlaw nation

  • Actually the M8 was announced 4 day before first iPhone announcement.

  • I don't understand the reviewer, meizu m8 looks good, sound good, video plays nice and smooth, but he just keep saying i's not good. why? just because it's not an Apple products , doesn't mean it's not a good one. ,,, and he also talk and giggle like an asshole or something.

  • y would he care if it was made by apple or not if u actually looked at the link posted in the description it shows u a website that has everything but apple products.

  • May as well get a Sumsung Tocco just as good but 1/2 the price

  • The Tocco has no capacitive Touchscreen like Iphone, Meizu M8 or Palm Pre. It's a totally different feeling. Just in case you don't know. This kind of screen makes multitouch possible, etc...

  • Thx for the info, I didn't know that.

    For me I can live without that feature.

  • It's not just the multitouch. Did you ever use a phone/handheld with touchscreen? If you use it with your fingers, this kind of screen is the best. I hate typing on my LG viewty, for example. I type "e" and hit "e" but while pressing, the finger gets wider on the screen an most pressure is on the "w". Just stupid. If you dislike those stylus' as well, capacitive screens are great.

  • In the beginning (0:51) you said it's a 3.2 megapixel camera, while later you said it's a 1.3 mp (6:57). So which one is it?

    Anyway, I'm surprised at how smooth the interface seems to be. If only it were quite a bit cheaper than the iPhone, maybe it could be taken seriously. But even then, it's obviously not original at all. If people started buying it, Apple would probably be all over Meizu's ass.

  • 1. It's 3,2 MP

    2. It IS cheaper than the Iphone. You get it for the same price as the Iphone - but without these expensive contracts.

    3. Meizu ist building an selling only in china, at the moment. We will see, if Apple sues Meizu for copying the "rectangle with big screen". But first we will see, wether Apple sues palm and how palm wins or loses. If that happens, I think the way will be cleared for Meizu...

  • I just read on Engadget that it sells for $440. That's way too much for most people. If you can really spend that much money, go for the iPhone. It's obviously superior.

  • The official price is 2380 Yuan, that's 350 $ WITHOUT contract.

    Where is the Iphone superior? Meizu's screen is better, the audio is better... Sure, it has some software bugs... I would suggest, that you don't evaluate the M8 just with a mediocre review and some wrong infos on engadget...

  • well the iphone is superior because it can sync with itunes,has wifi( im not sure if this one has wifi) and the app store and ability to jailbreak the iphone.

  • HAHAHHAHA!!!!

    You don't need no crappy Itunes on the M8, so why is Apple superior in that case??? And you don't need to jailbreak the M8, cause there is no reason for it. lol

    Was your post ironic???

  • im not sure if u no wat the app store is....

    it does not stand for apple, it stands for application. what im saying is that there are many applications for the iphone and not for the m8. dont get me wrong, i think its an ok phone, just not quite as good as the iphone in my own opinion.

  • nah. did you listen to this review? the M8 is based on Windows Mobile, allowing anyone to write applications for it. so it can have lots of applications without apple wanting your money.

  • it has wifi

  • hahahaha

    trust me, Meizu copied how the UI works from Apple big time. No way will the phone ever see the light of day in the US with a legal distributor, they would get sued up the ying yang.

  • hahahaha

    Then tell me: Does Apple have the patent on icons? Why doesn't Apple sue other companies with touchscreen phones?

    If you think that similarities are enough to sue someone, then we would have ONE company producing cellphones, ONE company producing cars - of course, we would have the problem that the family of the caveman ugauga holds the patent on the wheel...

  • Palm has been using those for years....

  • Either you don't an M8 or you have never used an iPhone, the M8 mimics the iPhone in every way, not just its a touch screen phone. How the UI works and operates, the motions, how the text messages work, the keyboard, the image players interface etc is all copied from an iPhone. I couldn't care about Apple, but Meizu acted like every other Chinese company and ripped off another companies hard work and ideas. Meizu stole all ideas and replicated the UI that was made by the people at Apple.

  • @razzer001:

    Half of the things that look copied to you(image viewer, etc) are just dependent on the touchscreen.

    And the rest: You're right, no other company should be allowed to do the following: If someone presses an icon, the app starts...

    Just get your hands on ANY other touchphone and you COULD find similarities to the iphone. But noone gives a rats ass. Of course, when its a chinese company, it's different - they steal! Bad chinese people!!!

  • Yes, I do have an iPhone. Yes, I do agree that Meizu stole some IP. I was just commenting on Sportler84's post about the icons.

  • iphone is made in china. OH SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHH

  • news flash...

  • 2380 RMB

  • What the hell are you talking about? This phone is looking good!...now, being this a 'fair' quality phone the price tag needs to be lower than the iPhone (for e.g.) to be one of the best touchscreen, multimedia phones out there...

  • Wow This video explains a lot i guess. haha Pretty cool video (= I need to work on windows movie maker and see if I could do the same thing

  • Apple should've sue them...

  • Omg £300+ pounds on ebay they are having a laugh!! Somone must have hit there head really hard to price it that high.

    Nice but noway that nice.

  • Wow, the accelerometer is quite unresponsive...

  • BUDDONS!!!

  • Did you guys see that buddon? There were buddons everywhere!

  • what OS does it run? java?

  • also, what bands?

  • funny lough :D

  • dude seriously. this aint a windows mobile phone. its windows CE6 wich is something totaly different from win mobile. windows CE is an opperating system wich is like totaly customizable. no way you could program such a shell in win mobile environment.

    secondly you say that it's a 1.3MP (while you are using it) and it's a 3.2MP.

  • At 05:15. - I think you forgot to turn bass on.

    On data sheet.

    for audio iPhone support only ACC LC (LC = Low Complexity) M8 support ACC - HE (HE = High-Efficiency) Not include FLAC and APE that's ways batter

    for video iPhone run 1.5 Mbps 640 by 480 but it's screean is 480 by 320 M8 run 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 480 pixels on same code And It's screean is 720 by 480.

  • So it audio and video is better than the iphone? cool. cuase I really like this phone... now to find out the price....

  • until now M8 is sale in china version only. it's have 900/1800 duo band. that not suitable for usa.

    rumor that M8 usa version is comeing. and it's going to have quad band and twice ram.

  • Alot of talking.. show us the interface already!

    Come on ur being to harsh on the review dude.. you cant expect it to work 100% like the iPhone..

    Not even any other manufacturer is able to to it.. and the way I see it M8 looks really good!!!

    I'm surprised!! Its better than iPhone in 2 ways, 3.2MP camera and a loud speaker!! The touch screen is par with the iPhone..

    It will work for me!

  • Text input :D Can we see a video of that?

  • there`s some mistake..

    it has a 3.4` screen

  • focus boy focus!!!

  • congrats on engadget

  • Featured on engadget Raz! Your really movin' up.

  • lol it finally came out

  • finally raz!!!

  • Will you carry the phone on your website?

    If not where can i buy one of those?

  • damn you need a better camera for your reviews.

  • Actually it's quad-band, believe me ;)

  • nice

  • YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEW REVIEW
