Meizu More Expensive In China

Err0r

Several days ago, Meizu initiated a Chinese nation-wide raise of prices, which according to them was inevitable seeing extreme raise in flash memory prices.

The new prices for the M6 Mini Player is 599/750/1050 CNY (approx. 80/100/135 USD) for capacities 2/4/8 GB, up from 599/699/999 CNY.

New prices for the M3 Music Card are as follows: 500/650/950 CNY (approx. 65/85/120 USD) for models of 2/4/8 GB capacities respectively, up from 500/599/899 CNY.

No word on whether or not International prices will follow. If not, this might be positive. Seeing that domestic Chinese prices are closer to the International prices, customers might me less prone to purchase unauthorized players from China.

If they raise the price of the player in the west even more that wont be good for sales...

The chinese increase in price is minimal though and the player still gives great value for money

It's like a 5 dollar increase...

So what happens when the flash drives go back down in price? Will Meizu lower the prices?

I don't think so. I think "rising flash drive prices" is just an excuse to raise the price, which in no way is expensive anyway. I have no problem with it, I just think that when the price goes down, Meizu should follow as well since that's the reason the price went up.

Err0r

Yeah, but they should have larger margins abroad - so it.
They won't face much problems domestically as all manufacturers (if they haven't already) will be forced to raise.

@ laxx - A small increase, but they are perhaps also earning less per unit now.

I read this a week ago... But I didn't see that the Players coast more...
puhhh. I got my M3 for the old price.
@ErrOr: when can you write a Test about the M3?
Or is there test? I can not find anything.

Err0r

What kind of test do you want?

Meizu91

A review of the MusicCard.

Err0r

Just a general review? I think other people are much better at that. :P

I think I'll do a M6 vs. M3 writeup when I can find the time.

my belief on this is pressure from Dane-Elec... according to some sources there was tension between Meizu and Dane-Elec over pricing issues outside of China and the fact that Dane-Elec was having to sell to its retailers at above the retail price in China... who knows for sure.
