Meizu M9 photo - fake or not?

Looks pretty authentic if you ask me...
Found it here.
What's your opinion?

Hmmm... It is on par with other screenshots we have seen in reference to the top bar and the bodywork looks similar to the recently leaked photos by JW himself.
I say we have a genuine photo here.

It absolutely looks real, and it looks like it has an android interface...
Lovely!

Top bar:

Can't see the "I'm Meizu" text above the display but that could mean this is not the same prototype JW photographed.

Also appears to be missing the touch buttons. Perhaps this is a leak by a naughty engineer

This must be real.

By the way, you see the documents icon? It's the one of the cartoon theme on our M8s...

Hmmmm. It looks real but i have my doubts.

I always wonder why those so called spysjots have a terrible picture quality??

anyway, it looks to me as the samsung phone with a photoshopped image open in the image viewer...
(i do think this due the piece of paper in the right above corner, it covers the hole where the camera is supposed to be :-) )

The proportions are wrong. Could of course be photoshoped, but this feels right. Also, the button is consistent with the earlier photos jw leaked, one of the pictures faintly show a button of the same shape and style if you crank up the light gain a bit..

Heres hoping :P

Well, there had been talks before that it might look similar to the Samsung i9000... and I think the white part covers some sort of label with a prototype number.

Also, JW commented on these patent applications before and said it looks the same except for the battery cover and speaker holes (if I understood corectly).

time will tell

but the thing is, if it is going to cost a 2800 RMB (i thought that was the price tag?) & if it looks like the galaxy S i do wonder why I´d buy the Meizu over the Samsung, since it is nearly the same spec´s but also nearly the same price tag.

for example : 2800 rmb =
320.32€ + 50 € shipping + 50 euro customs = 420 ,xx €

so i will wait and see.

It should cost 2380 RMB but you have a point

So €270 + €50 + €50 = €370. At least under €400...

thanks for clearing that out nice2know_u.

HondaRacer, it´s indeed a bit cheaper but the main thing is that the userbase is bigger so there is in fact real international support & less bugs that might pop-up.
So it is less appealing then the m8 was in the old days.., let´s hope JW can include some neat features or the phone might be a bit doomed for us international users.

EDIT
could anyone explain me this?

Beta can be arrived at 1,000 yuan for m9, then first register and then send in the forum for our factory.
Early hardcore users thank our support and love!

Would it be possible for us too???

He said M8 public test machines (without the network license sticker in the battery compartment I think) can be sent back to them and then you would get 1000 RMB discount from the M9s price.

crap, i know my FE was such a device but after i received the swap to the SE ..
well ..

Could you upload picture/link to info about these devices? Id like to know if mine is one, cant find any info here though :S

since i'm considering to get the M9, i wanted to ask, what are the things i have to check to be sure it is/not a fake?

er... turn it on
