The Meizu Pro 5 is close to perfect, except for one thing... [REVIEW]

The Meizu Pro 5 is one beautiful, high-end Android smartphone packed with advanced features, but the software leaves a lot to be desired.

Beautiful metal design ; Great, crisp screen ; Fast fingerprint sensor ; Large battery ; Great camera

Flyme OS is unintuitive ; Software not well-integrated with the Google ecosystem

The Meizu Pro 5 is a high-end phone packed with advanced features, but the company's home-grown Flyme OS holds it back from being great.

The Meizu PRO 5 Review

The dominance of the smartphone market by Apple and Samsung is being challenged by several Chinese brands that are delivering surprisingly well-featured phones for a fraction of the price. Meizu, one of the smaller Chinese OEMs based on sales volume,...

Despite a few shortcomings, I rather like the PRO 5. Sure, without LTE support and an OS that’s not tailored to western conventions, it’s not the best choice for North American customers. But it’s still a viable option for other markets depending on...

Meizu Pro 5 Review

This summer, Meizu launched the MX5 — an ambitious handset that made a wonderful first impression before revealing itself as a slick-looking bundle of compromises. Fast forward to November, and Meizu is already in for a re-match with the Pro 5. Put in...

Nice design for the price point ; Very good system performance ; Convincing daytime and indoor photography ; Satisfying battery life

Initial setup woes may confuse novice users ; Inaccurate display colors ; The fingerprint scanner is not always so smart ; Low-light photography is problematic

At a base price of $430 for the 32GB model (excluding shipping and import taxes), the Meizu Pro 5 delivers a lot of smartphone for the money. This is a competent phablet that's built around exacting design, a no-compromise spec sheet, and delightful...

Meizu Pro 5 review

Does this Pro iteration bring more to the table than just a larger size? We find out, in this in-depth Meizu Pro 5 review!

Unibody metal design ; Expandable storage via microSD card ; Dual-SIM capabilities ; Large, vibrant display ; USB Type-C ; Long lasting battery ; Fast charging ; Fluid performance ; Hi-Fi audio

Lackluster camera ; Weak speaker ; Limited LTE band support

With its full metal unibody construction, beautiful display, solid battery life, aggressive pricing, and processing package that is arguably the best right now, the Meizu Pro 5 is a fantastic flagship offering that should certainly not be overlooked.
