Meizu M5C The specifications are very modest
The new phone is above all approachable specs, among others, in Europe, because the equipment is – for Chinese standards that is the poor one.
When the company issued a phone for the Chinese market, it can afford a good specs. But they packed guts and determination of very low prices. And that someone will download a phone on their own, for it’s manufacturer is not liable.

But when the Chinese company officially hit the international markets, there are taxes and license fees. So if your phone has to be cheap, there is no cuts production costs and there is there’s no way for that. Remember the recently unveiled model Meizu M5s ? It has a metal casing, 3 GB of RAM, and a more efficient system camera with a higher resolution.
