Exterior
With a bit of an exaggeration we could just simply skip this page, but of course we won’t do it. Anyway, before the text, let’s see a picture that tells a lot: you can see M8 besides an iPod Touch, which is about as large as an iPhone…
It’s important to note that M8 should have been a rival of the original iPhone, but there have been delays in development and so the 3G Apple-phone has been launched meanwhile. The size of M8 is 59 x 108 x 12 mm, it weighs 118 grams, so it’s almost exactly as large as the big rival – just as a side note: iPhone 2G weighs 135 grams and has a size of 61 x 115 x 11.6 mm. It’s no use writing pages about the similarities in design, I’d rather tell you about the differences.
Meizu’s display has a diagonal of 3.4” (85 mm), so it’s a tenth of an inch smaller than iPhone’s (this means 4 millimeters in practice). Still it has a better resolution than iPhone’s 320 x 480 pixel panel, as on M8’s screen we can see 480 x 720 pixels and it can display more than 16 million colors, just like the great rival. It’s very, very important that M8 also has a multi-touch panel, so it can sense touches in multiple places at the same time. Only Palm managed to adapt this besides the company of Steve Jobs.
The plexi on the front is really hard, and so it seems rather resistant. On top there are three dots, this is where the speaker is hidden besides the light sensor and the infrared distance sensor. On the bottom there is a single button, its function is rather self-explanatory and it has an ugly letter M on it, which is to show the manufacturer’s logo, but they could have taken this off. There are even less positive things to say about the back, it’s made of an extremely slim piece of plastic with a lacquer finish, in the top left corner there is a camera, in the center we can see a logo and between the two there are two speakers on the two sides. It’s a fact that the bottom part can be taken off, as Meizu’s battery can be changed by the user as well.
On the top there is the power button and the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, and fortunately we can plug in any kind of headset. On the left there are the volume control keys, on the bottom there is the miniUSB connector and the microphone, while on the right there is a button that launches the music player.
