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.
