We are use to seeing prices of phones increase when they launch internationally compared to in China, but the pricing for the m1 note will be higher even for Chinese consumer who choose to buy in a physical store rather than online.
The Meizu m1 note surprised many of us with its low 999 Yuan price tag and specifications which normally show up on much more expensive flagship smartphones. A brief run down of the specification highlights include a 5.5-inch 1920 FHD display, 2GB RAM, 13 mega-pixel main camera, 5 mega-pixel front, large battery and attractive unibody design! Even with component costs lower than ever before 999 Yuan is low enough to make us wonder how Meizu can be making any money at all.
Well it appears they really aren’t making much profit on each m1 note sold at all which is reason why the online retail price in China is going to be lower than the in store price for the phone.
A few days earlier Meizu published that the m1 note would be available to buy at their 1000 physical stores across China, however due to transportation costs, premises rental and the cost of staff, the price would increase slightly, to how much we don’t know.
Gizchina News of the week
It is safe to assume that international pricing for the Meizu m1 note is also going to see a similar increase, let us all just hope that the latest Meizu still remains affordable once international fans are able to buy it.
How much would you be willing to pay for the Meizu m1 note once it launches internationally?
FAIL!
it should have been below $180
Unless you know read Chinese and you are living in China. Or else the price (999RMB) are won’t be available for you.
China Version supports all languages you Know from flyme Os 😉 fdd-lte wcdma and GSM also.
There is No reason for waiting. But I wait for lower price because of this huge press of people who want it
But I fear that it will be outdated until we will be able to get it in germany. 😉
jiayu s3 is on the way
As far I know I read from the Chinese source that the first batch gonna be TD-LTE but not FDD-LTE. So if you decide to import into your country yourself, you gonna look carefully.
oh you are right. i think the mail support is not as accurat as it should be 😉 only the unicom version is ready for international market. i hope i will buy it by end of the month witch FDD-LTE and WCDMA 😛
well.. thats gonna suck for this note 🙁
Fail an 64bit 20nm octacore with lte FHD sharp display? Get a life!!!!

Pls meizu make it available in India…….
.
Lower than 10000rupees in India….pls….
Anything under $250 should be fair enough, though I’ll probably still go for the JIaYu S3 instead.
What do you prefer about the Jiayu S3 ?
JiaYu is a brand that has consistently pumped amazing devices with fantastic build at very affordable prices. They also never spare quality over anything. The Jiayu G4 for example got a lot of flack because it had an HD screen instead of the normal FHD, but the G4’s screen way by far the best quality panel out of the bunch.
Not undermine Meizu, they’ve got amazing phones, but I’m not sure what they sacrificed to get the phone to be this cheap. They have yet to prove themselves in the low end market, so I’ll probably be waiting until someone I know gets their hands on one to find out.
TL;DR, I trust Jiayu more than Meizu in low price high performance market.
Fine, sounds good. Do you think the Jiayu S4 is also good for those who want < 5 inch screen ?
If it exists, then definitely. The G3 and G4 are still among my favorite Chinese phones, seeing them go back to the smaller sizes would be great.
Hopefully it will be out in a relatively short period of time. The funny thing is, I never heard much noise regarding the Jiayu G6, not sure how well it did.
150$ and one cent only. that’s it baby.
Go find it then with 150. Or buy mi4 3g with 350! 😉
Wait for Jiayu S3. It is the best all round performer with MTK 6752 SoC i feel.
Nah elephone p7000 is superior until the 3gb version s3 is ready. Until then elephone for the win
Do you know of a legit retailer that ships worldwide? I’m located in Sweden.

Amazing looks….
Who cares…
Jiayu S3 wipes them all
less then 180$
It’s $230 and $260 for the 16 and 32 GB respectively at Banggood. The presale prices are usually accurate on this site.
Jiayu S3:)
