+£8.64 Quidco. Also there is a code available if you download the app which will give 10% off (£124ish). Now then. This looks a real bargain at this price. I know there are always some concerns about Chinese phones but this is a well known brand nowadays and for the price/spec, you aint gonna beat it!
There is a very positive review on techradar here where it was given 4 stars at £380

A bit odd to vote cold on a deal when Amazon do this all the time and nearly all of the 6 deals you have posted are from Amazon?
Here is an extract from the Techradar review, which indicates this is still a substantial saving :-
"Prices for the Meizu MX4 Pro are higher than the Chinese RRP but the MX4 Pro still offers great value for money, with the 16GB model currently available for $579 (around £380, AU$750). This price also includes shipping from Hong Kong and an international 12 month warranty."

I am guessing to put a sim card in and use as a telephone?

haha how you figure that? firstly most of Asia uses dual sim, secondly it saves having to carry two phones for work and personal. Wise up.

Original price 527.34 . Really? I hate sellers that cheat and lie like that.
At 146 it may well be a deal, or maybe not. But a seller can not claim this was a £500 plus phone. Sorry, but Cold for me

a Chinese phone that doesn't support extra storage?

does seem odd, and only 16gb on board storage kinda kills this for me.

Looks very good spec wise, Exmor sensor etc. but I'd be concerned about their homebrew OS and lack of updates.

Miui is a really good android build. My Redmi Note is by far the best phone I've had.
I've had xperias, Iphones, Blackberry's. By far the best. The removable battery is my only gripe.
For the price, it looks incredible.

They still update this phone alot?
The OS is superb as well.
So single Sim and no memory card slot. Strange setup. Sounds almost like an iPhone.

I had this for half year. Bought for 330 and sold last month for 180 thanks god! It is pretty nice phone. Not MIUI btw but Flyme OS. It is based on Android 5.1 but 6.0 on the way. Who knows when.
It has one of the bests dac so yeah, retina sound is a funny name but not just marketing. Read reviews. It is good for someone who likes to spend hours on forums and optimeze it. Built in root is nice btw. No unlockable BL so no custom roms. Xposed could be installed btw and there is an app in the meizu store called flymetools. It is must have for customisation. Camera is superb, it is the same like in Xperia Z3 (Z4?) Heat added because lot for the money.
