Launched initially in China back in July, the Meizu m2 smartphone sports a polycarbonate unibody and runs the firm's proprietary Flyme 4.5 operating system that's based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Considering that the entry-level Meizu smartphone was launched in China at CNY 599 (roughly Rs. 6,200); we can expect the pricing of the handset to be around the same price range. It will likely compete with Xiaomi's Redmi 2 and Motorola's Moto E (Gen 2) smartphones.
It bears a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution display covered by AGC Dragontrail protective glass with a pixel density of 296ppi, and is powered by a 64-bit quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, clubbed by 2GB LPDDR3 RAM and Mali T720 GPU. The handset's screen-to-body ratio is 75.6 percent.

The handset equips Samsung-made 16GB inbuilt eMMC 5.0 flash storage, which can be further expanded via microSD card (up to 128GB). The handset's second SIM slot also doubles as a microSD card slot.
