    M8SE / M8RE ?

    Can someone please tell me the main difference between these two models?
    I´ve been comparing the specifications but I cant figure it out.
    They have (according the the web sites i´ve been lurking around in) the exact same specs, thank you!

    the SE is the second hardware edition. It´s a brand new (never used) phone...

    the RE is a refurbished one...what means...the hardware is "slightly" used and the cover is new!
    get a Nexus and be happy...

    ...there is a "Google Custom Search" in the upper right corner of your screen...if you enter "refurbished" and hit the "Go" you´ll find:

    Meizu starts selling refurbished M8

    get a Nexus and be happy...

    So, there is really no difference between them? internal I mean, the camera, cpu, memory etc is the same?

    ccampbel, yes, there is a difference, for example the SE does not have a music button and it has a different sound chip. For more details use the search function, this topic has been discussed many times.

    i think a M8RE is a M8 First Edition with 1.0 Hardware which was used some times

    M8SE is Second Edition with 2.0 Hardware and brand New not used

    maybe u can get a M8RE SE if anyone has problems with the SE to send it back for repairing but i dont know if u get the 2.0 Hardware refurbished

    signal strength at M8SE is better than the first edition
    Meizu M8SE 8GB white edition
    FW 0.9.9.23



    Bejewled doesn`t work on FW 0.9.9.17
    If anyone could help me please send me a PM

    So even though that the Meizu M8RE are the first edition, Meizu changes the cover and updates the hardware to make it as good as the SE?

    @alhol: I don't think so. AFAIK the use a different motherboard-thingy in the SE, so Meizu would have to exchange the interior and the exterior part of the phone - it is easier to give you just a new SE instead of remodelling the whole M8 first edition.

    Actually I bought the RE version for 3 month ago and haven't had any problems at all. Its a lot cheaper its looks nicer then SE verssion and I have the play button that I use alot.

    There have been rumors that some of the RE out there have SIM and TouchScreen problems. So be cautious

    :O

    So... They are different to each other? M8 isn't like M8RE, M8RE isn't like M8SE and M8SE isn't like M8?

    M8 doesen't have WiFi? + M8RE has WiFi? + M8SE has WiFi?

    =

    Three different phones? And why is the M8SE cheaper than the regular M8?

    And for some reason... The first version of Meizu M8 is 36 dollars more expensive than the second...
