so cool and good looking product.
i appreciate it. Appmgr

If you could buy the LG G3(32gb) at the same price as the MX4 32gb, which would you prefer and why?

A question: Would you think that this Final MX4 is better (to your opinion and criteria) than the Xshot?

I am really torn between the two, however never seen an Xshot yet so I just read reviews.

For everyday use, picture taking and MP3, what is your recommendation?

I will answer my own question a few days ago - YES! it does indeed connect to Exchange 2010 with stock firmware.I have not been able to download from Google Play yet even though i get response but all important apps are possible to install with .apk install.

Just use www.mobogenie.com
You won't need google play trust me.

is a very different & cruel review. It hard to recognize that it is the same product being reviewed.

Generally I find USA-publications love bashing everything not with USA-brandnames. Even if it is totally not made in the USA.

Question: Between the Find 7 and this MX4, which one has a better audio quality? I don't want comparison videos as that doesn't work. I'd like an opinion.

You said that the LED is not as strong as the one on the Find 7. I have the Find 7a and it has weak LEDs. I had a G2 and it only has one LED and it was stronger than both LEDs and had a nicer color. I don't like the green hue on the Find 7's LEDs. So this LED on the MX4 must be really weak lol.

I can't understand why Meizu doesn't bring it's products to India even after roaring success of Xiaomi

Should I get the Meizu MX4 or the Nubia Z7 Max?

Hi Chris,
I'm in India and I'm little confused which phone to buy: Vivo Xshot Ultimate or Meizu MX4 Pro. I know Meizu MX4 Pro is yet to be released but looking at the specs and launch date (19th Nov) it is a good option.
Can you please recommend which one to buy? I want a phone with better camera and audio and it will be a big plus if there is no lag in the phone also.
Also which OS is better: Funtouch or Flyme? I can't understand Chinese so I need a phone which supports English language.
Thanks.

I live in China and plan to buy the Chinese version (checked at Meizu store and it can be set to English). Has anyone tested Outlook ActiveSync? A must for me since i will use it for work. Also, does it support VPN (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec etc) or has this been removed?

How's the Rom community on this device ? Is something in development?

Great Review Christopher
I love this phone,, and im planning to buy it soon,,so i need your help in a few questions :
1- you know the Xiaomi Mi4 & Mi3 have a built in voice calls record option..means they can record voice calls in a good quality and a good file types like MP3 even if you use only the ear speaker in your calls ( without the need to open the loud speaker ), i know alot of Chinese smartphones have this option,, is it available in meizu mx4 ?
2- I have a friend going to China soon,, i will ask him to bring me meizu MX4 32GB version, a screen protector, protective case and Xiaomi Piston V2. i found the mx4 at JD.com here http://item.jd.com/1209642.... ... what i can understand,, there's 2 versions 16GB and 2 versions 32 GB ,, please tell me the difference,,and will these models work outside china if i buy one of them? ( i live in Cairo Egypt now ) also is JD.com a trusted online sellers? their products are original ?

forgive me for asking too much,, i just need a guide before i tell me friend to brig me anything from there,, thank you for your great review again.. im waiting your reply

Miui , Flyme OS , Funtouch OS , Color OS

I think they all have call recorder built in their rom.

Last time I check Zen UI even has it.

the call recording option supports both persons voices ( me and the other person ) even without opening the loud speaker? are you sure? what is the file extension ? MP3 ? also how is the quality of the recorded calls sound ?
another question about the camera,, can it record video 1080p @ 60fps? or only 30fps even in 1080p videos?
again thank you so much

there's also a bug with alternative keyboards such as swiftkey :/

will they correct the battery issues qnd iprove the camera ? (read the threads about it on http://meizufans.eu/forum/c... )

thanks, do you know how you can set a specific app (textra, chomp SMS...) as the default SMS app ? It's another bug with the MX4 ;(

I'm gonna save for this one. I don't care much for the pro version. This can handle everything you through at it even for the next few years. I don't care much about the costly Snapdragons either.

i totally hate meizu for not making it dual sim. pure heartbreak.

Would be good to have a review on just the mtk6595 chip comparing it with 801, 805 or Exynos octocore. There is barely any review on that online.

Looks like a great phone only one problem for me and many other people in the UK / and other European countries is that LTE band 20 (800MHZ) is not supported. Otherwise I would have abandoned Jiayu and bought an MX4, now just waiting for Jiayu S3 & S4 to be released before making a decision on what to buy next. By the way a very good review of a great phone

Hi Don, Im currently tinkering with my MX4 and discovered under engineering mode you can activate LTE band 20. Just put *#*#engmode#*#* (*#*#3646633#*#*) on the dialer to enter this. Under Telephony>Bandmode>SIM1>LTE Mode. Im not sure if it would work 100% since ive never been to the UK. But theoretically, (If the Jiayu you use is also a similar Mediatek Chipset), the options are highlighted and can be checked. by Default Band 1, 3,7, 38,39,40,41 are checked. I hope this will help you decide to switch to MX4! =)

The band 20 unchecked itself after closing the app or the setting page... It doesn't work

UP§§§ can it be confirmed.

Wow a new review in the phone i'm most interested in, Thanks Christopher!!!
Please one thing i asked like 30 mins ago on the previous review... what's your opinion about the heating on the device? is it getting hot enough to bother you when you 1) play games etc (heavy usage) 2) run it for everyday basics like internet etc.
Please let me know as that's the only thing i am concerned atm (+the price of mx4 pro) before i buy it here in Russia from their official re-sellers.

i can answer you as well.
It is considerable. That means it's getting hot while playing or recording/shooting 4k/many photos, but still not burning. It doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. Ah i was using GPS on the road today and it got hot as well but i don't know if it was the matter of the phone or the matter of the sun :)

Thanks mate! Well i think all phones are doing that...as long as it's not uncomfy then it's ok with me, i guess. (for example my gf atm is recharging her iPhone 4S and it's already warm enough!!)

If only international version would cost less..

I got the 'l' version for £265 from aliexpress delivered, no import tax.

Just my 2 cents: I love these kind of photos, looking more real. I don't see the point of color reproduction when you got plenty of tweaks in post production to play with.

Hi Christopher, if you have to choose between the one plus and the X4, your pick?

Do you know if Meizu will move to Lollipop, increase the battery life and improve camera quality with an upcoming update ?

I would also love to have an answer in that but i doubt we can have it from anyone else than meizu itself... i really hope the if is when , meaning we will get it but later in 2015 though! /fingers crossed

when?

Important for me are the bands, for Spain 3G works with band 900mhz (rural) and 2100mhz (city), the mx4 covers this, I can read in the specs:
3G:

WCDMA

850/900/1900 / 2100MHz
However, I'd really like to know if the community will be able to bring out custom roms for this beauty, I haven't seen anything yet, maybe it's too new yet.

nice phone... wish i had money for buy it.

You're not the only one.
