Monsters from Asia: the incomprehensibly cheap Meizu Blue Charm Note (M1 Note)
来自亚洲的怪兽：便宜得不可思议的魅族M1 Note
A month from now it‘ll be a full year since the first entry in our fortnightly Monsters from Asia column, but, so far, we‘ve been mainly focused on the high-end devices that China (among other non-mainstream brands from other Asian countries) churns out at an incredible pace. For this episode, however, we wanted to highlight a lower end device that still offered killer specs at incomprehensible prices, and it just so happens that Meizu today finally unveiled its rumored Blue Charm Note device. It fits that bill perfectly.
从现在起再过一个月，我们亚洲栏目的两周一次的总结的专栏就满一年了，但是一直以来，我们都是把重点放在高端手机，来自中国和其他一些非主流品牌正在尽他们的努力取得了不可思议的进步。然而这次，我们要开始关注一些低一点的而且价格不可思议的设备，由魅族发布的传闻已久的魅蓝手机今天正式发布了。实实在在的物美价廉。
Monsters from Asia: the incomprehensibly cheap Meizu Blue Charm Note (M1 Note)
Meizu‘s "Note" phablet is quite worthy of the spotlight. To start off, we‘re looking at an impressive-for-the-category 5.5-inch, 1080 x 1920 resolution IGZO display by Sharp, good for the excellent 403 pixels per inch. The panel in question is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and Meizu claims that it can reach brightness levels of up to 450 nits, though their testing methodology is unclear. Moving on, we‘ve got 2 gigs of RAM, along with a 64-bit MediaTek MTK6752 octa-core processor with its ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and its dual-core Mali T760 GPU at 600Mhz.
来自亚洲的怪兽：便宜得不可思议的魅蓝平板手机M1 Note值得让我们细细研究爱一番。我们首先看到的是来自夏普5.5英寸1080 x1920分辨路IGZO的屏幕，像素密度高达403，前面板被康宁大猩猩三代玻璃覆盖着，魅族宣城它的屏幕亮度可以达到450尼特，尽管他们的测试方法还不是很清楚。该手配备了2GB的RAM，64位的MTK6752八核A53架构的处理器，主频1.8Ghz，还有双核Mali T760主频为600Mhz的GPU。
On the back of the Meizu Blue Charm Note, we‘ve got a Samsung-made, 13-megapixel sensor (1/3.06‘‘) with f/2.2 aperture lens and two-tone LED flash. Up front, there‘s a worthy selfie cam – a 5-megapixel OmniVision sensor (OV5670) with 1.12μm pixels and f/2.0 lens.
在手机的背面，我们看到了三星生产的1300万像素f2.2光圈双LED闪光灯摄像头，前置500万像素F2.0光圈像素长度为1.12um的OV5670摄像头。
The Blue Charm Note is an LTE-enabled, dual SIM device (secondary slot supports 2G GSM) with an embedded infrared blaster for control over home electronics and support for Bluetooth 4.0, 5GHz Wi-Fi, and A-GPS (GLONASS). The juicer within is also extremely generous, at 3140 mAh.
M1 Note支持4G网络，双卡双待（第二个卡槽支持2G GSM网络），用于控制家用电器的红外传感器，支持蓝牙4.0,5G Wi-Fi和GPS，电池电量也达到了3140毫安。
The Meizu Blue Charm Note is a very compact device relative to its screen size, with dimensions of 5.93 x 2.96 x 0.35 (150.7 x 75.2 x 8.9 mm) and a weight of 5.11 oz (145 g). It will be available in a number of colors, including white, blue, yellow, green, and pink, and cost ￥ 999 (~$160)/ ￥1199 (~$192) for the 16GB/32GB storage version, respectively. Impressive deal, really, especially if Meizu manages to produce enough of these to actually offer them outside of China, where it‘ll surely struggle to meet demand.
魅蓝手机相对于这个屏幕看起来还是挺紧凑的，手机三围是150.7 x 75.2 x 8.9 mm，重量为145克，有白色、蓝色、黄色和绿色可选，价格方面有16GB的999人民币版本和32GB的1199的版本。让人影响深刻的价格，除非魅族能解决产能的问题，不然满足市场要求还是有一定的困难。
