Upgraded Meizu MX dual-core coming on July 14th, replaces older model

Some days ago Meizu fans came across a network license codenamed "M031" by Meizu, but until know we couldn't be sure what it was. Since then Meizu made the official announcement in the company's forum that the first model of the Meizu MX smartphone was to be replaced with a newer model from July 14th onwards. This new model is now utilizing Samsung's Exynos 4212 Cortex A9 processor that is clocked to 1.5 Ghz (up from the previous 1.4 Ghz) and it's built on a 32 nm architecture (was 45 nm before) that is said to consume 27-41% less battery compared to the previous model. That's not all, it also received a battery bump from 1600 mAh to 1700 mAh (like the 4-core model) and they have rebuilt the antenna and WiFi module to improve their reception so we can hopefully say goodbye to the decreasing of WiFi signal strength when covering the left side of the phone with our palms...

The new model still costs 2399 CNY while the MX RE (older version) version is still available through Meizu's website.

All models of the MX will receive the Flyme OS 1.0 upgrade on July 12th, tomorrow.

They'd better let people upgrade with a small amount of money (e.g. 500 CNY). And then sell those returned phones as REs.

Why would they do that? Its a new phone.

It would be nice to compare the battery draining with the QC.

I can't understand why people live in china can't Sign in the web?I live in china. As for the new model ,many fans in china was angry about it,because its price is the same as the old .

What do you mean they can't sign in? At our website?

I understand how they might be a bit angry... They are hoping for a compensation.

They should better release something new, like an cool tablet with dual or quad core, with really good build quality (like Meizu MX) and sell it for good price.... Now I have an new MX, bought in February, and it is replaced by a new one... quad core, and now a new dual core... It's a shame.. ^^

I don't like the way Meizu is going at the moment!

Imagine you buy a Samsung SGS3 these days and half a year later there are coming around the corner with a better SGS3 for the same price. Sure enough that won't happen, because Samsung would give the device a new name and it would be a new device as well.
Bringing out the MX dual core with same price with better hardware, after selling the alleged inferior MX to the Meizu hard liners, that makes me very angry. And it supports me in my ongrowing opinion:
DON'T BUY A MEIZU DEVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE WHEN IT GET'S RELEASED! YOU WOULD BE THEIR BETA TESTER! YOU WILL SPEND MORE MONEY AND MORE STRESS TO A BETA DEVICE WHICH WILL BE SOLD CHEAPER AND WITH BETTER HARDWARE SOON AFTER! SO YOU BETTER WAIT A FEW MONTHS NEXT TIME!
at least that is what I will do!
SHAME ON YOU MEIZU!
Doing such things to their closest fan community is like betraying them. They are standing in line infront of a Meizu store, waiting for hours to support Meizu, to buy their device in the first place. But what do they get? A device with buggy software and almost outdated hardware. Hardware what that will be replaced through new stuff in the near future. It's the same cell guys. For normal customers you have to build a whole new design and outside appearance of a phone to call it a new device. It's like Samsung would now use their SGS3 body to implement new hardware and call it a new device.
Imagine you bought a brand new car, you stand in line for it. after half a year they say oh, we advanced the car, now it got a better engine and less fuel consumption and you get it for the same price. Wouldn't you be angry?
SHAME ON YOU MEIZU!

ADVICES TO MEIZU:
-don't promise release dates you can not meet (for meeting them you bring out a not finished product. take your time to implement the great hard and software in the first place. You safe much money with that and you you can switch to the next device without developing the inferiour further and further to make it more stable)
-meet release dates!!!
-just release stable and full developed devices (hard-/software) (that is a MUST for the international market)
-if you wanne bring out a device with better hardware than your current device, develop a new one! Don't betray your customers which bought in the first place. Because these customers are your real supporters!

Why be angry? Apple is doing the same thing.

No they don't. All their products are reliable, they ship exactly when they say they will, and they do it to a yearly schedule.

After the M9, and expressing my frustration, I warned people against the MX until they proved themselves. Hate to say I told you so but...

who said apple would do better? I heard many customers hoped for the iphone 5 as the 4S got released. But In case of apple you could expect something like that. Apple already did the same thing with the iphone 3, but for meizu it's a premiere (except the refurbished device topic).

edit:
we don't have to discuss about the relybility of apple products, you are right Cyber! I was talking of releasing a enhanced hardware version soon after above. That is what apple did with it's 3S and 4S, which is something I dislike the most. But as I hate apple at all, I don't care.

The 3S and 4S were perfectly fine. They had the same design, but the internals were a lot better. Also, they were released at least a year apart, when people were expecting a new device.

don't know if they were far better because I give a damn about appl, at least I tried so far. But with the year in between you are right and that is more fair as meizu is doing right now.

sorry guys i dont get your point. meizu is improving their devices. how can they do better? stop blaming them for old mistakes.

I think the problem people have is that they never made up for those mistakes. You have to admit that the M9 was a glorified prototype. Sure, they still update it, but it's still a flawed device, even to this day.

I'm personally over it, and have moved onto the SGSIII. I really enjoy using it, which is something I never felt with the M9.

the point is meizu is still having this beta tester thing even they don't name it. The big meizu fans like me got their MX in the first place, thought the hardware would be great. And Meizu uses these users and their feedback to test the MX again. Like they did with the M9. But now they are not just improving software what would be okay for my, no, they are improving hardware because they learned there are heating issues, battery drain and so on. Come on Meizu you surely had an internal testing period where you saw those weeknesses of your MX. And you released it anyhow! But the right way would have been to eliminate these weeknesses before releasing the first device! And that is my point. They don't care if there are difficulties with hard and software at date of release. They say like "we get great feedback from our customers and we can adjust the whole cell a few months later, so out with it, we are already late anyhow...".
And they make theirself the pressure. They say like "we are working on an new devive and it will be out then and then" at that point they must have sooo much issues that this promise was just to hold by releasing a not finished product. So why produce so much pressure through them theirselfs?

And when they released their work, they should switch to the next device to develop and don't care about hardware advancements of the old. Supporting the software is so much work to do, that you would be overworked by caring about the hardware too. We all know how exact Meizu release dates for new softwares are. They said it will be 1st June and then it got 1st of July or even later. And that is because they don'T focus, they want to advance the hardware and the software, but why? Focus on the software of your up to date device (MX) and the focus on hardware should go to the next device. So everyone is happy. Everyone has the same MX with same specs, heating, battery drain, software... and if you wanne have a better phone, wait for the new Meizu device

as iceman said we are totally agree with the notes.

as i second international user of mx launched after that we got 5 software updates till no improvement's battery it is useless non-removal battery into it. , bad wifi antenna & worst network antenna also.

earlier i really pretty impress with the music player series but mx really disappoint me. in things i've expect from mx..


any suggestion iceman?? i really tired of of battery draining issue.

it is may good for local ppls not for an international users.

for me battery is ok, because I don't use mobile network so far, only WIFI from time to time. Battery is an issue with all smartphones when running status apps like whatsapp or anything else which updates frequently.
Don't get me wrong, I can live with the abilities that my MX gives me for now. But only to know that this is a unfinished kind of test unit is enough the be angry! Since 2007 I'm a Meizu hardliner and they are betraying me/us over and over again.
What can we do?
1. sell the "old" MX and get the better MX when you wanne stick to Meizu.
or
2. sell the MX and get a different manufacturer cell
or
3. bear it and keep your MX

Thats a really angry Meizu fan. Advice: Dont buy the first batch units from any coming electronic product, its always safe to wait when a large upgrade is released.

I dont get it either? Why get upset if something gets better for same price. For who would it be better if they kept the old hardware? Or would it make a difference if they call it, MX 2-core Plus?

Technology gets better every day, there will always be something better and cheaper tomorrow. There is so much negative energy here if ppl dont like what Meizu is doing why not pay 30-40% more and switch to big Korean brand?

From my point of view this is great news, sure owners of previous models will feel bit disappointed, but hey sell it and upgrade to 4-core.

you really don't get it!!!
I DO CARE if they are advancing the hardware of their cell. Because I own the old one which was in need of improvement! So why not release a phone with hardware which is not in need of improvement and concentrate afterwards on a new device?

Sure! I just sell my MX and get a MX 4C, very easy said for a chinese guy. I live in germany. Mostly nobody knows about Meizu, and when I can sell my MX 2C for a reasonable price I have to spend an much higher amount for the MX 4C because I have to import it. When you are chinese selling the MX 2C is even more difficult, cause everyone knows about the better MX 2C released recently. So quit your jibber jabber!

Let say it in this way, whatever meizu put on the market. It is stunning.

For the Meizu mx dual core old model. I buy it in the first day in Hong Kong. I queue up and buy it. It worth that price.

For the mx quad core, I buy it on the first day. Because for a Chinese brand. It really got a Samsung quad core inside it! For a cheap price 3099

For the mx dual core new model. It use the most updated dual core of Samsung. What are you arguing for?

Those are luxury. We can choose buy it or not. As least for me I am a meizu fans. I will not buy new dc model as my old dc and qc is still work well.
