The Meizu M6 Note features a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The screen has a pixel density of 403 PPI, which is quite sharp and clear. The display also supports 16M colors, providing vivid and accurate color reproduction.

The results were stunning. The M6 Note produced natural bokeh—not the blurry, edge-detection mess of its rivals. In good light, it traded punches with the iPhone 7 Plus. For portrait mode junkies on a budget, the M6 Note was the undisputed king.

The Meizu M6 Note has a unibody metal design that's both sturdy and premium-looking. The phone's body is made of 6000-series aluminum, which provides excellent strength and durability. The device has a rounded edge design, making it comfortable to hold and reducing the likelihood of accidental drops.

The phone's dimensions are 153.6 x 75.2 x 7.9mm, and it weighs in at 173g. The Meizu M6 Note is available in several color options, including black, gold, silver, and red.

The M6 Note runs on Flyme OS (typically based on Android 7.1 Nougat). Unlike many other Android skins, Flyme does not have an app drawer by default; all apps are located on the home screens.

But the real story was the camera.

The Meizu M6 Note has a non-removable 4000mAh battery, which provides a decent amount of juice. The phone's power-saving features, such as Doze mode and Smart Wake, help extend battery life.
