Even that is not yet on sale (you can only buy the white variant for now), I had the green apple-colored variant of the M1 Note. At the front, you can see the 5.5 inch Full HD IGZO display with Gorilla Glass 3 and good news, 5 MP AF front camera (I used tap to focus) and the typical Meizu home button, The back has the 13 MP AF Samsung rear camera with flash and Meizu branding. The back cover has glossy finish but not prone to finger prints.
The top has the 3.5 mm. audio jack, secondary mic for noise cancellation and power button. The bottom has the mic, micro USB port and speakers.
The left has the volume up and down buttons while on the right, there's a slot which you need a sim slot pin for the dual sim.
Novo 7 Tech is currenly selling the 16 GB ROM variant and good out of that, there's about 11.8 GB for app storage.
The Antutu score of 39,477 is no surprise for me but it showed what the Mediatek MT6752 processor can do. I already have an idea of MT6752 Antutu scores between 39,000 to 40,000 when I saw some videos from international brands like Elephone and Jiayu. I ran the app in high performance mode.
And the camera samples. The 13 MP rear camera has f/2.2 aperture while it's f/2.0 aperture at the selfie camera which is another plus.

On my first impressions, the device was so light at 145 grams for that 5.5 inch phablet. The side bezels are really thin as there's no adjustment for me for one-hand navigation as I'm currently having a 5 inch phone as my daily driver. The device looks elegant for me and the screen is not that finger print magnet. Of course, app transitions and camera shutter speed are so fast in this one. The only thing missing that is important for me is the micro SD slot but there's the USB OTG support as an alternative.
You can have the white variant of Meizu M1 Note for Php 7,990 in Novo 7 Tech shops in SM BF Paranaque, SM North EDSA, Meizu Kiosk in SM Manila, Lucky Chinatown Mall, Gateway Mall and SM Southmall which I took my first impressions of this device.
