History

Initial rumors appeared in May 2015 after a possible render image of the new device had been leaked. Unlike the predecessor, the M1 Note, the new device would have a physical home button instead of a capacitive one. [3]

On May 29, the specifications of the device have been allegedly sighted on the Android benchmark application GFXBench. According to this release, the device would feature 2 GB of RAM and a MediaTek MTK MT6753 system-on-a-chip. [4]

The following day, Meizu officially confirmed that there will be a launch event for the M2 Note in Beijing on June 2. [5]

As announced, the M2 Note was released in Beijing on June 2, 2015.

The M2 Note was launched in India on August 10, 2015. [6]

Over 1.2 million devices have been sold in the first month after the release. [7]

Features

Flyme

The Meizu M2 Note was released with an updated version of Flyme OS, a modified operating system based on Android Lollipop. It features an alternative, flat design and improved one-handed usability.

Hardware and design

The Meizu M2 Note features a MediaTek MTK MT6753 system-on-a-chip with an array of eight ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores, an ARM Mali-T720 MP3 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. The M2 Note reaches a score of 31,890 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. [8]

The M2 Note is available in four different colors (white, blue, pink and grey) and comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB or 32 GB of internal storage.

The M2 Note measures 150.9 mm (5.94 in) x 75.2 mm (2.96 in) x 8.7 mm (0.34 in) and weighs 163 g (5.7 oz). It has a slate form factor, being rectangular with rounded corners and has only one central physical button at the front. Unlike most other Android smartphones, the M2 Note doesn't have capacitive buttons nor on-screen buttons. The functionality of these keys is implemented using a technology called mBack, which makes use of gestures with the physical button. Unlike some other Meizu devices, a fingerprint sensor isn't integrated into the home button.
