+£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?

chrisbass to anthony212

12 Jan 16 2 #7

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?

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.

Will work on EE or BT which piggy back EE, or Three on 1800.

Only 16 Gb rom and plastic case and 3350mah is NOT a huge battery nowadays. No expandable storage will fill up quick. What is the point of having a fantastic camera if you dont have enough storage to put your apps and photos ?
I don't get it with mobile phone manufacturers , why does not someone bring a phone out with good spec in EVERY department ?
There is a plethora of phones to choose from and every one of them is lacking in one or more department !

mynameisthehulk to Proveright

16 Jan 16 #20

Not sure what you want for £130? Will work on one Voda frequency too btw. It's just O2 you won't get 4G as the only have 800Mhz. Oh and it's metal framed. Have a read of one of the many reviews.

When I was looking for a phone 2 months ago, I did research on Chinese phones and ended up with dilemma this one or 1+1. So I ended up with 1+1 64gb for £225, as meizu mxpro16gb was £212. But for £140, meizu would be my choice nr1, despite 16 gb rom.
Trust me it is a superb phone, much better than motog or vodafone smartultra.

I can't buy an Andriod phone without an SD slot, it seems stupid to even sell phones without them especially ones which have decent specs like this. Shame.

this phone or the xiaomi note 3? Similar money. Camera on this sounds really good but the extra memory on the xiaomi is tempting...

I've just ordered this bad boy from banggood.

Does anyone know if you can root it and stick a stock Android ROM on it?

bluepeter11

19 Jan 16 #31

It looks like it can take cyanogenmod rom which is better then stock in my opinion

mynameisthehulk

19 Jan 16 #32

Somewhere I am pretty sure I read the BL was locked so no custom ROMs, but it does have one touch root.

bluepeter11

19 Jan 16 #33

Scratch that, looks like it does have a locked bootloader and no cyanogenmod rom on the pro version, that is a real shame, i was going to bite the bullet on this too

After months of trawling the Chinese sites for my next mobile (and posting enough deals I came across along the way to be accused of being an employee of Gearbest and AliExpress lol) I've finally bitten the bullet and ordered this from Banggood. 137 quid and topcashback 8.69 already tracked (they don't seem to be on Quidco anymore which is a shame). It's certainly way cheaper than anywhere else I can see (Gearbest want 320 quid for this lol!) and the spec for the money is unbelievable (lack of dual SIM &non expandable memory not a dealbreaker for me).

Edit: Kimovil now saying it's available for 128 quid on AliExpress (they weren't earlier) but with the TCB that's what I will be paying from Banggood and I they have a good reputation for CS amongst the Chinese sellers.
Thanks OP!

18 Feb 16 #35

Just wondered if it had arrived yet and if so what do you think of it? TIA!

18 Feb 16 #36

Got mine delivered yesterday (very fast delivery compared to Gearbest). Chinese language but simply sorted. Google Play already on the device. Perfectly useable in its current state (fast, superb, virtually bexel-less, screen, amazing sound quality, mtouch a breeze to use and very reliable). An absolute billy bargain. I totally get the lack of warranty (won't be sending it back to HK/China should it stop working!) but when you see just what 130 quid gets you from a UK mainstream brand, albeit warrantied, it's actually laughable and I'm happy to take the risk. Thanks again OP.

The Chinese notifications are a bit of a pain in the ****. Have you managed to get the one touch root working?

bellboys

3 Mar 16 #40

I'm very non-techy but a work colleague is a bit of a genius when it comes to stuff like this so the phone is going to be passed to him for all mods he feels needs doing to be done.

7 Apr 16 #43

I have managed to root. It seems Banggood install a customised version of the firmware where it looks like it already rooted but root doesn't work. I installed a standard version of the firmware and managed to root. The method for installing the International firmware was beyond me I'm afraid but by installing and running Nova Launcher and uninstalling all the Chinese apps it runs pretty much like stock, it's an awesome device but going to flog this because I can't hide root so Sky Go won't work and I want another phone.

107 quid? I really wouldn't have thought so lol. I believe it supports OTG but I've no need of it as I'm not a huge user of mobile storage (lots of my stuff is in the cloud). The camera on this is really superb. Just come back off holiday and the pics I took surprised even me! :man:
