JW 3.26 update: final prototype complete at the end of April?

Here are some of the latest posts by J. Wong. I could gather the following info from the awkward google translation:
- The final prototype is estimated to be ready at the end of April,
- UI layout has been handed over to EICO design,
- A demo is also mentioned.
Can someone do a proper translation please?

4月底我们才能完成比较完整的工程样机

Completed by the end of April we can complete the project prototype

----

5月小批量后就可以开展内测了

May small quantities can be carried out after the 0.5mm

内侧后就可以开展公测,

Demo can be carried out after the inside,

公测没问题后就可以上市啦

Demo no problem can be listed after you

现在整个项目开发还算比较顺利

Now the entire project development still relatively smooth.

M8的ui交互架构经过我n多个夜晚苦苦思索后,已经找到了更简洁更好用的架构,

M8 ui interactive framework of the night I n many hard thinking, has found a better use more concise structure,

并已经把部分已完成的交互架构图交给eico 设计室制作,我们有信心交给大家更完美更满意的m8

And has been part of the interactive framework has been completed plans to eico design studio production, we are confident that we handed over to the satisfaction of a more perfect m8

内测会征集论坛极少数有经验的m友测试

0.5mm Forum collected a handful of experienced m-Test

公测会征集大批的m友测试

Demo collected a large number of m-test


original thread

Lol , I just refreshed the page and this popped up , Good news?? , Kinda but wtf is gonig on with firmware and themes , The Ipod touch system looks crap compared to some of the stuff thats been posted

Thanks

By the way, what's the "0.5mm" phrase doing there, popping up here and there?

Nevermind, I can't follow them anymore. Are they or are they not putting in the new Samsung CPU? The cpu is supposed to be sample-produced in the summerbreak; how can you have a final prototype by May?

This is the personal page of J Wong showing his latest replies, and threads he created. It's much easier to find his posts from here :P Just thought I share this in case somebody didn't know.

They already have some samples of the new 6410 CPU. It was reported in this thread, two weaks ago. I'm not sure how they're going to mass produce the M8 to build up a stock before August though.

exiting! i hope we will see a video demo in june maybe.

The translation is pretty bad.. I'm not good at simplified Chinese, but here's my attempt to clarify the translation.

4月底我们才能完成比较完整的工程样机

At the end of April, a "relatively complete" (比较完整) prototype will be ready. AKA-probably in the form factor of the phone, but maybe not using the latest components? ie-the Samsung chip maybe?

5月小批量后就可以开展内测了

In May, small quantities will be ready for internal testing.

内侧后就可以开展公测,

After the internal testing is complete, public testing will commence.

公测没问题后就可以上市啦

Once the public testing is ok, then it can go on the market.

现在整个项目开发还算比较顺利

Now the entire project development still relatively smooth.

Good news!

You translation is GREAT. I must say that it's a very refreshing update; I'm sick of those automated Chinese translations (what "5mm"?). Reminds me of Chinglish... here I am, stuck in Beijing, but hopefully I can get out before the Olympics :D

... you really think, the Olympics will take place?

Well - but Meizu will not bring out the M8 before August. So try to stay longer..

I much prefer Engrish, its good exercise for my diaphram.

Thanks for the translation!
I was quite confused by the google translation, but that's the best that I could get :P

Regarding the Samsung chip, I see no reason why they would not use the final 6410 processor, since they already have a few of those for testing (they've shown pictures of it, like I mentioned above).
I hoping that "relatively complete" means a close to final version, that just needs testing and fine-tuning..

PS: can you also translate the remaining posts, please?

public testing? how can i get in? ive done beta testing before for aol and a few others (just search the web for beta tests if you wanna do some)im qualified!

^ Probably China-only, not for overseas.

I bet beta testing will take place in china only...

Just my thought because Meizu will need precise Information, and when it needs to be translated like English to Chinese, there is nothing precise anymore...

I would be also interested in Beta testing, but I guess it will be in China only...

beta testing? Sounds cool, I probably will be hitting up meizu for a sample unit..

Maybe MeizuMe can get a beta testing unit, as MeizuMe is quite a big site. Or dapreview? They know how to test the device thoughout and find areas where it can be improved/find faults. I think Meizu should do that.

How can I be part of the public testing?

Hm I'm unhapyy that it will take so long time, but I'm happy that they tell us anything about the release date that sounds relieable
