If only the pixel 3 XL looked like this phone :

[@hyper-potato]

the Pixel 3 is ugly as sin.. I don't understand how it gets such good reviews. Stock android is SO overrated but somehow it became a way of declaring you are an "expert" if you like stock android. It is barely faster (while it doesn't have anything installed) than a Samsung that offers way more functionalities . The Pixel is an aberration of a phone with a good camera -allegedly by all those hipster reviewers who think they are expert in photography- but other than that.. nothing.

[@Avantime]

Reviewers don't want to piss off Google and not get invited to future launch events. Almost-stock android is achievable with LineageOS, but rooting and flashing phones are not for casual users.

[@JsonCamp13]

The notch is an option in developer mode.

I personally bought this phone, 16th white 128gb, TLDR, best phone in its price range: around 400USD Tested with at&t 4G LTE works great for most of the time, reception could be not so good occasionally. It beats Xiaomi MI8 in almost every aspect. no NFC and water resistance are only drawbacks. with SD845 it's super snappy and smooth, it runs most of the games in high FPS. Flyme UI is not bad, but it's designed for the mainland China market primarily, with some awesome features like replying to messages inside an app without leaving it, it's good for gaming people. You could get the international version with the Google service framework, but you will still have some tiny issues here and there. I have to say I still prefer stock Android, especially in the U.S. that's why I gave it to my family.

[@GokouRuri]

[@yw1695]

Lew, I have to say you know too little about this phone. The dual camera is IMX 380 + 350, which cost more than IMX 363(Mi 8 or Mix 2S) and IMX 519(Oneplus 6). The tap engine of the phone is way better than any other phone from the same or better price range. The dual speaker. The gesture control, left, right, bottom. The customized front 20MP camera(smallest 20MP camera). Fluid Dispensing so you can get the thin frame. You can see the cost to make this phone is more expensive than phones like Mi 8 or Oneplus 6. The phone launched on Aug 8 in China but it's still very very hard to get one even now(The main reason is that Meizu doesn't want to produce too many Meizu 16th to lose more money). As for Meizu, this phone is not for earning money, but to draw attention from the public(the headlines). This company really really wants a comeback in the competitive market in China.

[@attrey273]

These companies would use the term *"notchless"* soon

[@piaIy]

What are the disadvantages of having a notch if you can disable it or use only for the status bar? It offers more screen to body ratio.

[@martinz.8714]

Even if it can be disabled (not every manufacturer allows it) some notches are so wide that aside from the clock and the comm icons they become useless and they exist purely for the novelty of it.

[@Ashishjaj]

Notch is not at all bad if it can be hidden. Because after it has been hidden ,,it is good place to keep the top bar for signal and time

[@anh49]

@@Ashishjaj Eh, the notch (especially big ones) takes up space of what would be where notification icons are so you would have to pull down the notification shade to see what notifications you have.

Switch to it! I remember following some of Meizu's early handsets but, at the time, opted for a Xiaomi. Since then I've stuck mostly with handsets that are officially offered within the US market but seeing Meizu pop up on your channel has really peaked my interest and I would love to hear what you think of them as a daily driver. If I am not mistaken they're a pretty well known and viable option in the Chinese market.

[@wtfreviewtime5001]

[@abbasfakhoury8815]

This proves the over pricing of Apple

[@45kickittodeath]

Abbas Fakhoury A lot of Chinese phones have 5-10% profit margins. That’s literally unsustainable with the government grant they get. That’s what a typical charity makes. That’s why these phones never get directly marketed. It’s always world of mouth marketing. Apple is still overpriced but they’d go bankrupt if they did this.

[@techbyte2455]

@YT11 have u used this phone ??

[@jrrr1591]

Techbyte because it’s not an American company like Apple and a lot of other phone manufactures, which means they don’t have to pay any tax, allowing them to sell for a less than 10 percent profit margin. Also, the iPhone XS costs over 150 more just to make (without profit) then this phone sells for. So it is definitely missing out on some features.

[@rasmie8858]

Also, the low end manufacturers buy parts that fall out of quality check by high end manufacturers for cheap, which is why they can provide aggressive price point. The term "you get what you pay for" is real, not necessarily in terms of features or specs. Ever wonder why cheaper products have spotty usage experience by their owners?

[@UteGirlz]

I was waiting for a top reviewer to talk about this. Seemingly a full package with little compromises. Small bezels, no notch, in display fingerprint, headphone jack, Oled, stereo speakers, light weight, SD845, 8GB/128GB. Many flagships don't have half of these. SD card, QHD and slightly larger battery would have made it even better. I'm nervous that it's relatively unknown. I will need full and extended reviews.

[@Omegeddon]

If it had a bigger battery and water resistance I'd be highly considering it over the S10 next year. But as a budget phone for less than half the price of a flagship it's a major go

[@vexxftw]

nothing to think about...50% or more of a phone's price is the company's marketing budget.

[@Jlnchp]

You are stupid

[@ch_dn]

Thanks for your reply. I understand that for their top of the line products such as iPhone XS or Galaxy S9 as those phones are aggressively marketed in a worldwide scale. But if you think about the products from big companies that are similarly priced to the Meizu phone above ($400~), they perform not as well with lower specs and are not marketed in that big of a scale. Yet these Meizu and other similar phones are close to top tier specs and performance, while still being marketed in their respective countries and other parts of the world in a decent scale. Of course the refinement does lack a little, but not $500 little. If the argument is "brand image", sure, but that gives me a reason to say that the top tier phones are overpriced for what they are comparatively. IT IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

[@ch_dn]

No thanks for your kind reply.

[@vexxftw]

You're mostly right. Think about Adidas or Nike, you're buying the brand even if there are 1000 other companies that do similar products, some even better, but aren't know because they lack the funds to market themselves. If they market themselves, they have to bump the prices a bit to sustain the advertisment. Also, there's another psychology, people tend to consider luxury or high end..the products that are priced higher. It's just the way it is.
