Meizu X8 - User Reviews

  • Have they fixed the touchscreen issue when playing games cos that's the only turnoff for me regarding this phone. Well that and small battery.

  • I updated my meizu x8 to flyme 7.3, Excluding of all the changes stated, my phone's wifi and dataconnectivity has weakened; ping spikes at the middle of the game and increased battery consumption, so i decided to downgrade to 7.1. Happy and contented now. P.S. This phone is great. Camera is superb compared to other chinese phone, even without gcam, but you can install it. I git mine at xda forums.

  • How to install gcam? Please help , thanks

  • Nice screen, strong battery, ok camera. Who doesn't need some special futures very good phone for this money. Only minus is that meizu should corning glass, at least 3,4 and put 5 euro more on price. No protection for display.

  • Yes the price is 128$ on aliexpress meizu offical store. I alredy ordered black version.

  • Droped to 128$ 4gb 64gb version on aliexpress.At that price,is a steal.Could no resist getting one as a spare phone

  • Meizu x8 is cheaper...you can get x8 6gb 128gb version for the same price as the z6lite 4gb 64gb version on AliExpress

  • I dont know whether to buy meizu x8 or lenovo z6 lite. Lenovo is better in terms of bigger battery,expandable storage and android pie. But i have bad experiences with lenovo. Are they good nowadays? Meizu phone is good in quality. Had a few meizus before. Updates is slow but acceptable. Any thoughts?

  • No eis but you can stabilize your video using Google photos...or you can just shoot with open camera to get stabilized video

  • is there a hope for this phone to have eis for videos?

  • no mention about they update it to pie in version Flyme 7.3.0.0G just update security patch. night mode & some others change Improved the animation effect when open/exit an app; Added Three-Finger Swipe Down gesture for screenshot; Updated Android security patches to improve system security; Modified the gesture for closing alarm from Swipe up to Tap. Quickly to wake up; Added super night mode in Camera. Easy to shoot a night scene; Added Tap to Clear function for Gallery Recycle Bin; Optimized image cropping ratio; Optimized the Screen Rec function to get more clear recordings

  • On another website someone said that this is Android 9 update for the Meizu X8 :

  • No it on x8

  • nope. neither of meizu ...lenovo...vivo...oppo & etc. will get update

  • Do this phone will get andoid 9.0?

  • Excellent phone playing pubg amazing i love Meizu x8 and it's camera awesome very beautiful and sharp and very very very good battery

  • Battery is good for everyday use. Flyme has good battery backup.

  • Very small battery, Meizu and Android update?? Difficult.

  • Dpending on Techtablet review for meizu note 9 it has multitasking issue caused of the ui So does the meizu x8 has this issue? Is it planned to get the android pie?

  • no

  • Does it has an IR?

  • It's not multicolored...it's just white

  • Please guys tellme is the meizu x8 notification led multicolor or not?

  • Can you compare or tell about x8 and m15 cameras more? What about actual battery resource? Gcam is really good app to get some better, but what is between stock camera-app?

  • It's isn't fake...I use AliExpress a lot.. haven't had any problems with them

  • How much is it on aliexpress, and I dont really trust that website its fake

  • Yes it works with fortnite.....u can get it on AliExpress

  • where am i supposed to buy this phone for the U.S also does it work with fortnite?

  • note 7

  • I have had Meizu X8 for 2 weeks now. Very happy with this phone. Much smoother in daily use compared to Meizu 15 Plus. That phone had a lot of lag and stutter. Screen quality is better than the typical midrange phone (think Redmi Note 5). Battery life is above average. Almost as good as Note 5 despite the smaller battery. The camera is great in both daylight and low light. However, when it is really dark is use the gcam mod with night sight instead of the stock camera .

  • This or redmi note 7

  • Yes, it has on the top next to the speaker. White colour led.

  • Does it have notification led

  • Does it support gcam? Have you tested it?

  • Why no sdcard???

  • Great for gaming. I have no problem with daily use camera is great but in night time you can install Google Camera for the great pictures.

  • I have bought the Meizu X8 end of Dec 2018. Now using it for 1 month. Yes it has band B20 (800MHz) also B3 (1800MHz) which are widely used LTE bands here in EU. The carriers are covering with B3 the City centres, the band B20 has coverage anywhere else around the country (Slovakia) so the X8 is capable to be on 4G everywhere in EU countries. The charging is very fast - 1,5h roughly. When fully charged allowing the phone to be stand-by 2 to 8 days. The phone's voice clarity is perfect. Working smooth not freezing at all. Overall a good quality phone with no issue so far.

  • No SD, no Fm radio, very small battery. bad software support. No Meizu.

  • It has band20. Official website wrote.

  • Global version does have Band 20, can see no mention of NFC though.

  • Weird.. I also find nowhere the X8 on Aliexpress for now. I dont know why it disapears. Maybe it's out of stock / sold out. As we have known that Meizu has problem in producing the X8 because of the display cutting process for its notch. Only Meizu that order such a thin notch cutting display from its LCD manufacturer. Maybe "low demand" makes the LCD manufacturer lazy to produce. I dont know. The last time I saw X8 4/64 on Aliexpress is arround 280 USD. It's better than Mi 8 SE which is arround 265 USD.

  • i actually cant find it on aliexpess but its less than 300 in most places and for that price SD 710 is really good, BTW i am also a big fan of meizu

  • Wrong again.. Meizu X8 is not 200USD.. Just check it on Aliexpress :D But dont worry.. I dont offence.. I like Meizu so why I'm here to comment.. Other people are maybe not interested.. That's why this comment section is deserted -_-

  • fine but its still amazing for 200 usd

  • Wrong.. Based on Geekbench chart web.. Meizu X8 (SD710) is below Mi 6 (with Snapdragon 835).. Quite far from SD845.. The GPU is also inferior from SD835.. But I think SD710 is more efficient than SD835 a little bit..

  • snapdragon 710 is almost as fast as 845 ( a bit faster than the 835 )

  • it has SD710 chipset, don't ask for too much

  • Make it $180 please! I'll come back to Meizu if they did :)

  • 2 new colors are coming.. Blue Purple gradient and Gold Pink gradient.. GSMarena should update the picture and on the spec list..

  • Will this avalible in malaysia?

  • 270€ it isn't the same

  • dude... it's a Meizu no GSM band 4G 800 and never NFC

  • Does it have dual speakers?

  • Sadly the Official price is not incluse tax and other factors.. Maybe for make the WOW effect just Xiaomi does haha.. Meizu X8 is not 230 USD also.. The cheapest on Aliexpress is arround 270 USD.. Nokia X7 is arroud 390 USD on the news that I posted before.. Let's see on this 23rd Oct for making sure.. Come on.. Meizu and Xiaomi is commonly selling phone with quite cheap price while Nokia doesn't.. Maybe Finland branding? Only 23rd Oct can answer that question hehe..

  • Article says the Meizu X8 4/64 costs about USD 230. Here says the Nokia X7 (7.1 plus) 4/64 costs about USD 245 (only USD 15 price difference). I, too, hate notches. I'm totally with you on that one. So it's a little frustrating for me personally the thought that if Meizu X8 were made with a slightly bigger size (perhaps, same dimension as Nokia 7.1 plus), then the battery could've been bigger and the notch could've been avoided. But you're right. Although the battery could've been bigger, it's not that small.

  • Owh ya.. Sorry about not reading HDR10 display on the spec.. I just a normal user not photographer which color enthusiast.. I prefer stylish design and I'm the one that hate the big notch haha.. No offence.. It's just for my like.. 3200 mAh on this phone for me it's enough.. Not so big and not so small considering Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 EE is just 3000 mAh.. Btw are u sure that the Nokia X7 (7.1 Plus) is more expensive just a little? How about this link?

  • I did acknowledge that this looks better than the Nokia 7.1 plus. And there's absolutely no question about that. Taking into account all the dimensions, the Nokia 7.1 plus is only 6.7% bigger while having 9% more battery. And more battery is always preferred, especially for a screen this size. (I did the math. It's not an uninformed observation.) Plus the Meizu X8 is not exactly compact so slightly increasing the size to accomodate a bigger battery wouldn't have made any difference in phone handling. Price difference is very minimal for the advantages that you get, like I've previously mentioned, bigger battery, expandable memory, better cameras, and better screen. The screen on the Nokia 7.1 plus has HDR10 support. It's not nonsense. It's rare to have that feature in midrange phones. I would gladly buy a Nokia 7.1 plus if it were available in my region. Honestly, I would also buy a Meizu X8 if it's the one available in my region while the former is not. But right now, both are China exclusive. People in China are spoiled for choices when it comes to midrange phones with SD710 (Mi 8 SE included).

  • Haha Nokia 7.1 Plus has big bottom bezel n biggger notch.. Ugly! Bigger battery? Of course because 7.1 Plus is taller, wider, thicker than X8. Use smarter comment! Haha.. Dont forget that 7.1 Plus is more expensive.. Better screen? Better about what? Nonsense.. But remember no one to force u buying Meizu X8 instead of Nokia 7.1 Plus! That's your choice.

  • no sd card, no win !

  • The Nokia 7.1 plus just straight up killed this with better screen, better cameras, expandable memory, and bigger battery among others. This does look sexier but that's just it. Sorry, Meizu.

  • There is no mention if it support NFC, which is necessary for phone payment. I assume Meizu X8 does not support NFC. Do not buy if you want to use phone payment in China.

  • The only thing I like this, because of sdm 710 with about 200 euro price.

  • When the MEIZU X8 comes to market and price?

  • GSMArena Please Review it.

  • Is there a website online where I can buy internationally??

  • I have a Meizu E3, directly from China and I use it in Europe, on the Orange network. Instead of three 4G frequencies, Meizu only connects to two of them. I find it good enough, as 4G is perfectly working here.

  • Beautiful phone but Very small battery, terrible rom support.

  • Meizu 16 has global version which have diference band configuration (have B20).. Sadly it is more expensive than the China version (I dont know why).. There's no info whether there're X8 and 16x global version yet..

  • I don't understand Meizu, why no band 20 for Europe!!! So great devices and no LTE support! So we can not buy it!!!!!!!

  • Is this has Corning Gorilla

  • Thanks But Can You Give Me The Link? And How Much Was It Please..

  • It's available now in their official website

  • Keeping the lights on is a 3210mAh battery with fast charge support that delivers up to 50% of charge in 30 minutes.

  • Please When Will This Be Available To Buy?? I Dont See It Anywhere....

  • Meizu x8 because of snapdragon 710 and the price

  • Beautiful. Great design, material, high stb. For me this is the best looking notched phone. This is my first option if one of my phone need to be replaced...

  • Which is better Meizu x8 or Huawei 8x?

  • Mi 8 lite has the same camera configuration. Honor 8x has more megapixels but I this camera will take better low light photos if you're into that

  • I think no.. Considering the price..

  • If they just add android one this will be great

  • Nowadays phones should come with Gorilla Glass protection that would be excellent if it had one

  • always loved Meizu but always hoped they will give updates to their phones

  • Does this phone has ois or eis..?

  • Camera wise, which one will be supreme? Meizu X8, Honor 8X, or Mi 8 Lite? Spec-wise this seems the fastest...

  • Great phone,, good design a notch but better than iphone sexiest device i ever seen under 300$

  • This will be my next phone 5his Christmas.

  • Nice Job Done :)
