After weeks of speculations, Meizu officially took the wraps off the much-awaited budget phablet M3 Note in China April 5.

The new Meizu M3 Note sports a premium metal body made of 6000 series Aluminium alloy similar to the top-end Apple iPhone 6 series. On the front, it features 5.5-inch full HD display with physical home button, which also doubles up as a fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, it comes packed with 64-bit class MediaTek Helio P10 octa-core SoC (System-on-Chip) backed by sumptuous 2GB/3GB RAM, 16GB/32GB storage and a 4100mAh battery.

It also boasts 13MP primary camera with PDAF (Phase Shift Auto Focus), dual-tone LED flash, f/2.2 aperture and a 5MP snapper on the front.

Meizu M3 Note release and price details:

Like previous generation phones, Meizu M3 Note will also be made available initially in China and later released in other markets. It comes in two storage combinations — 2GB/16GB storage and 3GB/32GB memory — for ¥799 (around $123/€108/Rs. 8,215) and ¥999 (around $154/€136/Rs. 10,272), respectively. Consumers will have the option to buy the device in gold, grey and silver-white colours.
