Meizu, one of the top selling Chinese brands, is eager to set up its shop in India. The company today announced that it will make its much-awaited debut in the country on May 18.

Earlier in the day, China's fastest growing handset manufacturer teases its official entry into India via its official Facebook page. The company will most likely to launch the Meizu M1 Note in the country.

It also sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with a five-element f/2.2 lens and LED flash, and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS/ A-GPS, Micro-USB, and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity are on board.

The Meizu M1 Note is available in China for CNY 999 or around Rs 10,000 approximately. If launched in India at the same price bracket, it may give Xiaomi and Huawei a big threat.

Meizu m1 Note Smartphone India Launch Expected on Monday

Chinese handset manufacturer Meizu on
Thursday announced an India event on
Tuesday, where the company is likely to
launch its m1 note smartphone in the
country.

Meizu India in a tweet confirmed the
news and said, "We've heard you and
here is the date." The Chinese handset
brand has also taken a dig at Xiaomi's
CEO, Lei Jun, whose usage of the phrase
'Are you ok?' at the Global Mi Phone
Premiere event in New Delhi last month,
which also saw the launch of the Mi 4i ,
go viral in a video shortly after. The
image accompanied by the tweet read,
"Are you ok?" and "5.18 see! see!"

While the tweet doesn't reveal which
Meizu handset is set to launch in India
on Tuesday, it is expected that the Meiz
m1 note might be launched as the
Chinese company has lately been teasin
the handset via its India-specific social
channels (Facebook and Twitter).

It's worth noting that Meizu showcased
the m1 note smartphone last month in
India at a blogger meet in Bengaluru. Th
company first began teasing its imminen
India launch from the middle of March,
and has held several giveaway contests
since then on its Facebook India page.

The dual-SIM Meizu m1 note features a
5.5-inch (1080x1920 pixel) IGZO displa
and is powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core
(Cortex-A53) MediaTek MT6752 SoC
coupled with 2GB of RAM, and a Mali
T760 MP2 GPU. It sports a 13-megapixe
rear camera with a five-element f/2.2
lens and LED flash, and 5-megapixel
front-facing camera. LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11
b/g/n, GPS/ A-GPS, Micro-USB, and
Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity options are
onboard.

The Meizu m1 note bears a non-
removable 3140mAh battery, a dual-
microphone setup, measures
150.7x75.2x8.9mm, and weighs 145
grams. It comes in 16GB and 32GB
inbuilt storage variants.

Last month, Meizu announced that it
sold more than 2 million smartphones in
March, following up on its earlier
announcements that it had sold 1.5
million and 1 million units in January
and December respectively.

Meizu to enter Indian smartphone market today; likely to launch the M1 Note

Following the footsteps of Xiaomi, another Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Meizu, is making its India debut today.

The company is expected to launch the M1 Note device, targeting India’s booming smartphone market.

While the company has not yet made any clear announcement regarding its foray into India, its recent tweet and Facebook post hinted at the company's India debut on May 18.

The image tweeted by the company from its @Meizu_India Twitter account says, "We've heard you and here is the date. #0518". The image in the tweet, however, conveys the same meaning, but it also takes a dig at rival Xiaomi with the words "Are You ok?" These words uttered by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had generated much online amusement. Lei Jun was making an earnest attempt to deliver a speech in English during the Xiaomi Mi 4i product launch in India last month.
