Meizu Shipping Refurbished M9’s Starts M8 Trade-in Scheme

Back in the days when the M8 was top dog at and the was merely a twinkle in Jack Wong’s eye, the rather generous startled fans by telling them that once the M9 was released they could trade in their old M8 for an 800 Yuan discount on the . However fans have been a little disappointed with the lack of official word on the trade in scheme since the M9 has been available for 5 months now.

Last night though made the announcement on the Forums that the M8 trade in will finally kick off with the start date being May 10th. M8 owners will be able to trade in the old M8 for up to an 800 Yuan ($122) rebate on a M9.

Also announced by not included in the M8 trade in scheme is the news that Meizu is now selling refurbished M9 Android phones at a reduced price of only 2099 Yuan ($322) which is a 600 Yuan saving over the new M9.
The refurbished M9 will get new charger and data cable, but packaging and the phone themselves may have a little wear and tear.

And finally JW made it known that once all Meizu owners are on the Android platform he will not be offering a trade in scheme again, so those of you hoping to trade your M9’s in for the Meizu MX when it launches later this year are out of luck.
