The Meizu or the M8 as it is known around the internet is quite similar to the Apple iPhone. For one thing the M8 sports the same thinness as the iPhone, something that a lot of consumers usually look like, simply for the sake of managing to fit the phone in their purse, pocket, etc. Other features that make the M8 shine brighter than the iPhone is the fact that the M8 has a larger screen resolution than iPhone. Squinting has never been a problem, after all there are other phones out there with a smaller screen, but if you’re going on the internet, I would hate spending the time scrolling around just to read a simple sentence or finding that elusive link.

Yes, the iPhone is more well-known in the US. Yes, the iPhone has iTunes and a multi-touch screen. However, the M8 has a more common Operating System with its Win CE, and of course the fact that the M8 has TV-out functionality – recording capabilities, all right!

Prices have not yet been announced with the Meizu M8, but chances are it will be far cheaper than Apple’s iPhone. If I had the money right now, I would most likely be lining up for the M8 rather than the iPhone. But since I don’t, oh well.
