The Tecno CX is a great device, but it is also one of the most expensive phones in the Camon series. Sure, it has one of the best cameras for its price range but many phones nowadays deliver decent photography as well.
Yesterday, a device was launched that shares the same CPU, RAM, design and android version with the Tecno CX but goes for half the price. One of the Tecno’s biggest caveats was its minuscule amount of RAM and internal storage (2GB RAM & 16GB internal). It seemed to stutter a bit every time a user activates the split screen multitasking feature. Also, this year Tecno did not make a 5 inch version for the CX like they did last year with the C9. Luckily, this new phone, Meizu M6, comes with a compact 5.2 inch screen, an option to get 3GB RAM & 32GB storage and the same premium metallic build that we saw on the CX.
Here’s a rundown of the specifications and price.
