Meizu has officially launched the Meizu M5 Note Smartphone in China. Post the official Meizu M5 launch event, the techies had compared the new M5 Note to its predecessor, the "Meizu M3 Note," which was launched only a few months ago.

According to The Verge, the Meizu M5 Note is about 0.1mm thinner than the previously launched, the Meizu M3 Note. In addition, both the Meizu smartphones have a 1080p 5.5-inch display  along with an Helio P10 Chipset and a highly efficient 13-megapixel rear camera with a dual-toned LED flash. However, the Meizu M5 Note has a smaller battery of 4000 mAh instead of 4100mAH battery that was housed in the Meizu M3 Note.

Their report also suggested that the Meizu M5 Note has a fingerprint sensor and a neat dual-SIM plus micro SD card tray.

Currently, the Meizu M5 Note smartphone is available in three variants classified on the basis of RAM and storage bundles- the 3GB RAM with 16 GB storage, 3 GB RAM with 32GB storage and the 4GB RAM with 64GB storage.

This Meizu smartphone comes with the mCharge fast charging support, which claims to fully charge the 4,000 mAh battery of Meizu M5 Note within 90 minutes. In addition, the phone is powered by a 1.8GHz MediaTek Helio P10 octa-core processor that has been paired with a powerful Mali T860 GPU from ARM to provide a glitch-free experience to Meizu M5 Note users.
