Meizu A5 – Design and technical specs

The budget smartphone retains the classic Meizu design of other similar devices while still offering a premium look with parts made out of polycarbonate materials with high-precision CNC grinding process. It’s dimensions are 144 x 70.5 x 8.3mm while its weight could be less I guess (140 gr.) given the fact that it’s supposed to be an affordable device.

    In case you’re wondering how large this “large battery” actually is, it’s a mere 3000mah.
    So, usual boring meizu device without a reason to be picked over competition and without even a meant to be on the market
