Despite the fact that there ware no single Meizu device on display at CeBIT in Hanover – Germany, Engadget guys pulled some information from the Meizu’s CEO about their upcoming (i)phone. To recap their words:
- At least initially, the Meizu miniOne will enter the western world as a portable audio/video player, NOT as a phone! I guess the company could rely on customers using Skype or some other VoIP client for calling.
- The Meizu’s entrance model will NOT have a camera and will cost $195 for the 4GB model and $305 for the 8GB version.
- Users will be able to enjoy the full 30fps at miniOne’s 720×480 display.
- The release date for China is set for the end of 2007.
It’s kind a strange. I don’t know how to classify Meizu – as pure copycats, or the company that just responded well to the “iPhone challenge”…
