Officially sold at less than 230 euros, the Meizu M5 Note is a 5.5-inch smartphone that snoves Google applications. We took it in hand, and here are our impressions!
Meizu never ceases to amaze us. The former MP3 player manufacturer has revived with smartphones in 2011 and since then, has accustomed us to release several smartphones. Today, it has even become difficult to keep up with the frantic pace of outings. Like the Huawei, Xiaomi and other Lenovo, Meizu has succeeded in establishing itself in the telephony market with quality terminals and very attractive prices . And while the official presentation of the Meizu Pro 7 is fast approaching , the M5 Note is finally through our hands. And we are quite impressed by this smartphone that snoves Google applications.
Aesthetically, the Meizu M5 Note throws . Again, the Chinese manufacturer proves that its terminals are (always) very well finished. Featuring a metal chassis, the M5 Note is compact. Nice to take charge, the smartphone adapts easily to its user. Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, you’ll have no trouble going to the volume buttons with one hand. This is really cool enough on a 5.5 inch smartphone. But what we really kiffé on the M5 Note is its screen very contrasted.
The 5.5-inch screen of the M5 Note offers a very good contrast of 1,410: 1 and a brightness of 437 cd / m². This is quite effective to watch Game of Thrones in VOD or the Champions League final. Without being as good as a high-end smartphone, the screen of the M5 Note is not bad for this price of 229 euros . On the other hand, the interface of the Chinese smartphone left us a little puzzled. No Google apps are available at startup. Well, we knew that the Meizu smartphones only had very few apps from the research giant, but there were none! Come on … we’ll start the test and come back quickly to you? Meanwhile, discovers how the Chinese manufacturer has teased the arrival of its Pro 7

Ouloulou, the BlackBerry KEYONE has finally arrived at the editorial office. Equipped with a touch screen and a physical keyboard, this smartphone amazed me. Here are my impressions, after my first grip!
I hoped, I finally got it: The BlackBerry KEYONE, this device that I discovered in preview at the MWC 2017, finally arrived at the editorial office. While its French release is fast approaching , I will finally test this smartphone which is equipped with a touch screen and a physical keyboard! This is the first smartphone produced by TCL Communication and distributed as the BlackBerry. And even if it now has some Chinese blood, the KEYONE retains the DNA of BlackBerry phones : a modern and pleasant aesthetics and a choice of premium materials. In fact, just the KEYONE packaging can make you as many effects as a new Kendrick Lamar clip!
The BlackBerry / TCL Communication KEYONE is not just a smartphone. Featuring an anodized aluminum frame and a textured shell that is very pleasant to the touch, the flagship that comes with Android 7.1 is good to take in hand . And thanks to the polycarbonate found on its back, this device will not slip between your fingers and to finish, its rounded edges on the slices are really beautiful. But between the presentation of the product and its arrival at the editorial office, it was probably the KEYONE screen that impressed me most. Equipped with a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 glass to limit breakage and scratches, BlackBerry’s baby screen and TCL Communication throws . And even if it is only 4.5 inches,
Thanks to the KEYone’s Smart Keyboard features , you can almost do everything with one hand. Personally, I was able to scroll through the menus oklm, tickling the screen from right to left or pressing a long key to launch an app. Yeah, it’s an egg thing, I’ll give it to you. You can send a message, launch Youtube or another action, by simply clicking on one of the letters chosen as a shortcut key at the beginning. Accustomed to using an iPhone 7 and a Huawei P10, I easily adapted to this KEYONE . Since the keyboard of the KEYONE allows to do almost everything, the navigation buttons seemed to me limit almost useless.
